It stands to reason that this world is filled with countless monsters and demons, which are very similar to the high-level martial arts world that Kong once visited.
Kong You, who had traveled in the subspace many times, had been targeted and attacked by evil gods, so he was very sensitive to the projected high-dimensional influences, but the train's movement was unexpectedly smooth, and it was also very fast when gliding on the "star track". Before he felt any discordant gaze, the jump was over.
"Jump successful!"
Pam's notification sounded mixed with the loud bang of March 7 falling to the ground.
Sora reluctantly stood up and tried to rescue her, but before he could, Eula had already pulled Mitsuki up.
Although the pink-haired girl whose face touched the ground had a layer of protection from the Six-Phase Ice, her nose still got red from the fall, which made Eula laugh. She thought that it would be better for her not to use the ice layer to protect herself, as the fall might be less severe.
"Are you OK……"
Although she wanted to laugh, she still raised her hand and used the ice element to relieve the pain in March's nose.
"I failed again, but perseverance is my motto! I will succeed next time! Hiss, so cold!"
"Don't move, just deal with it briefly."
Rubbing her nose, March recovered and immediately pulled Eula, who treated her gently, to the window. She then exclaimed at the white planet covered with ice and snow in the viewfinder.
"so beautiful--"
But she soon remembered that Ji Zi seemed to have said that when the pioneering team first arrived here thousands of years ago, this planet was still a lush and habitable world.
"Thousands of years have passed. Has Yalilo VI become like this?"
The way Ji Zi frowned at the view window made Sanyue immediately realize the problem.
"Hey, is this really Yalilo VI...? Is this our target planet?"
"That's right. I'm sure this pioneering journey won't be easy."
Just by looking down at the situation from high altitude, Ji Zi had already guessed something.
“So this is what it feels like to look down at the stars from a high altitude.”
Completely different from the strange reactions of the two pioneering "veterans", when Eula and Haiya saw the planets outside the Azure Star for the first time, their eyes lit up and they did not realize the seriousness of the problem at all.
Ichinose and Kadokatsu, who had some serious knowledge of astronomy, were also amazed, but they did not seem that excited.
Kong didn't care at all. He walked to the window to join in the fun, acting like he didn't care at all.
This is what he's like after seeing so many different scenes - and this planet doesn't look suitable for human colonization, so its appeal to him has greatly decreased.
"What? What's the problem?" he said lazily.
Honestly speaking, judging from his rich experience in interstellar travel, it would be abnormal if there were no problems with the train's navigation method, which used star tracks, or waterways, which have been used for thousands of years.
"...defeated 10 large robots...Captain, I'm afraid your client had anticipated the potential dangers at our destination, and the mission it assigned makes sense."
Lao Yang followed behind him, and said in a slightly serious tone: "The average temperature on the surface of this planet is so low that it is probably difficult for humans to survive, but the probability of autonomous mechanical activities is very high."
"…But autonomous machines can't jump out from the surface of a planet and attack us, right?"
Sora was stunned: "Could it be that this is a fortress planet with a large number of orbital defense systems?"
"Space readings are abnormal, star track stability has dropped to 12%."
Pam, who then walked out of the front of the car, also confirmed some of the crew's concerns with specific data:
"The stop schedule has changed. The stop time at this station has been extended from 7 days to indefinite."
"Indefinitely?" Eula, who had just expressed her feelings with March, raised her eyebrows:
"Are you encountering any obstacles?"
"Alas, it's the same situation again. Sure enough, the cause of the star track anomaly this time is also..."
Sanyue retracted her puzzled expression and became calmer. Now it was her turn to show her "experience" as an "old nameless guest": "Star core."
"That's right, the preliminary test results are out, and the source of the anomaly is still the star core." Lao Yang passed the tablet to everyone to look at - regardless of how many people could really understand it.
"...Fuck, is it really the fellow from the same clan as the thing in my body who is causing trouble?"
Kong immediately held his forehead with his hand.
"The Cancer of All Worlds is not called that for nothing, Dr. Kong. According to the shared data, 90% of the records of Star Trains being stuck in a brake are related to star cores."
The black tower activated the little man again, holding his waist with a calm look, and even spoke with a somewhat cheerful tone: "This is the problem that the nameless guest cannot overcome in his pioneering journey~"
"Who asked you?"
Sora glanced at her and said, "Shouldn't we be in the interference range of the star core now? How did you upload your consciousness here?"
"I've slightly expanded the effects of the Navigator's Potion. The star core really can't affect your invention, Dr. Kong. Thanks to you, I can watch a good show so closely."
"Heita, stop gloating. If we can't find the root cause, the job of helping you transport toys will have to be delayed." Ji Zi sighed, crossing her arms.
"I'm not gloating over your misfortune. Since I'm here, it means that my genius mind has already found a solution for you."
She still held her waist, not realizing that Jizi and Kong disliked her at all:
"The location range of the star core is obviously on the surface of this planet - go to the surface and retrieve the star core into the car and then I will help you seal it, and then you can continue your journey. Easy and pleasant."
What a simplistic solution.
Before Kong could even complain, he saw that Ji Zi and Lao Yang did not refute, but actually nodded and started to discuss:
"Let's decide who will go down, Himeko."
What? Are you really going to implement this solution that is so rough that it cannot even be called a plan?
"...Don't get me wrong, Captain. Ms. Black Tower's suggestion is exactly the same as the way we usually deal with star cores. But I have to correct one thing. Even if she doesn't help, Jizi and I can still seal the star core. This is the basic quality of the Nameless Guest."
Facing the subtle gazes from Kong and his female companions, Lao Yang had no choice but to explain.
Sometimes the best solutions to seemingly complex problems are actually quite simple.
"From the looks of it, the possibility of life on the surface is very low... Walter, let Kong and the others take Xiao Sanyue and Dan Heng down to give it a try."
"Hmm? The environment of this expedition is even worse than the previous ones. I should be able to--"
Old Yang, who still has the soul of a "passionate young man" burning in his heart, seems somewhat reluctant to stay on the train.
"This kind of extreme environment has a low probability of misunderstandings between people, and is most suitable for young people to exercise."
What Ji Zi said was actually very tactful - excluding the uncertainty in social communication, the students who were used to helping Sora and Xiao Sanyue were used to "opening up life", so they were good choices.
173. We land on our feet!
"Sister Haiya, aren't you going down with us?" Sanyue really wanted to go on a mission with her benefactor, but seeing Haiya sitting on the sofa with a calm look on her face, it didn't seem like she was planning to move.
"My physical condition is different from yours. I lose temperature faster in a low-temperature environment. I will consider going to the surface of the planet after the doctor creates and finds a constant temperature environment for me or I have to join the commando team."
Haiya remained calm as always, not getting carried away by the excitement of exploring the new world:
"If I could achieve the body of a feathered serpent, I would not have so many limitations on my activities."
"Don't worry about your ascension. The Pilot combat suit can help you maintain your body temperature."
Kong rolled his eyes and handed the adjusted equipment to Haiya.
He seemed to be quite looking forward to it - looking forward to how beautiful it would be to see Haiya's plump figure enhanced by the tights.
"The energy consumption for survival will be higher than others. We need to consider the cost-effectiveness. Bingliangliang is more suitable to go first than me."
However, Haiya still shook her head. She glanced at Youla and said, "If Bingliangliang can't handle the troubles on the surface, you can call me, Doctor."
"...The colder the place, the easier it is for me to move around. But Fatty Snake, your bossy attitude really annoys me."
Eula did some simple warm-up exercises and went to the landing module's projection compartment first, as if she had determined that she was an indispensable candidate.
Just as they predicted, the people who would go on the trip were quickly decided, and Eula was on the list.
Sanyueqi, Kong, Youla, Danheng, and Beifa are the first to board the team, and Asuna Karin and Kaiya form the reserve team. The reserve team will wait for the first team to ensure the safety of the landing area before considering entering.
Although the train crew had always been relatively free in its development activities without any specific plans, the addition of Kong more than doubled the number of personnel on the train who could participate in the combat, and it was natural for the Hell Paratroopers to be introduced into the landing organization.
"Teacher, do you really not need us to go together to help clear the landing field?" Asuna approached Sora before leaving, as if hoping that Sora would take her with him in the first wave.
"If you are attacked by the Rift Creatures during landing, those of us who are good at close combat will be able to handle it better. Asuna, you and Karin need to maintain a certain fighting distance to exert your strength. We will ensure your landing safety - don't worry, everyone will have a chance to move around down there."
Kong touched Asuna's head, which made Asuna look more like a big golden retriever that was playing with people.
"Don't forget to put on your tactical uniform. The halo will protect you, but the energy it carries cannot be replenished and will eventually run out."
"Hey, but why doesn't Senior Befa wear any equipment?"
"Because she really doesn't need to wear additional equipment. This suit is not compatible with her ship suit."
"Understood, Sensei. I will be ready to carry out sniper missions at any time."
At Karin's response, Sora put on his helmet with satisfaction. The arc-shaped eyepiece slowly lit up with blue light. Under the hexagonal coating, Sora's appearance and expression were completely obscured, but his fully armed appearance still made the girls let out a small cry.
The teacher in tactical gear looks really cool.
"See you down there, girls."
After saying that, Kong gave a thumbs up and got into the landing module.
Generally speaking, the landing process of the landing capsule on the train is relatively smooth. After all, it is not a military equipment, but Kong deliberately added some tricks to his own and adjusted the recoil coefficient and fall correction separately.
Thus, while the landing capsules of the train set were still slowly descending, only the empty landing capsule took the lead like a wild horse, rubbing against the atmosphere of Yalilo VI to create a dazzling red light.
“Eh?? Sora, Sora’s falling speed is wrong!!”
"Don't be surprised, Xiao Sanyue, I'm just looking for the feeling of blood boiling back then. Oh hoo! As expected, I will never find this boring!"
In the public channel, Kong's voice sounds a little excited.
If he didn't find some proper stimulation and entertainment for his time-traveling life, Kong was sure that he would become more and more numb. However, the human body has its own advantages. The feeling of weightlessness that cuts through the sky, the white earth gradually approaches the field of vision, the darkness turns into white and blue as far as the eye can see, and the clouds are left far behind. This comfortable feeling creates a sense of urgency in the brain, which strengthens Kong's cognition that "I'm still alive", as if it has brought him back to those glorious years. He seems to still be a warrior on the battlefield, not a genius in a club.
The change in identity and mentality made him shout at his friends who fell with him.
"..." Listening to Kong's prolonged psychic signal, Old Yang, who was sitting in the carriage, couldn't help but cast an envious and burning gaze at him.
He was already looking forward to having Sora make some modifications to his drop pod.
The recoil thrusters began to unload gravitational potential energy. The airdrop cabin landed on a snowy field and jumped out of the cabin door manually without even waiting for the airdrop cabin to come to a complete stop. He raised his gun to help his companions confirm the safety of the landing site. His movements were professional but a little cocky.
A mature mentality will not affect the normal secretion of hormones. This is the benefit of a young body. You can enjoy the pleasure of blood boiling in your body and regain some "impulses".
"I landed on my feet! Landing zone clear!"
Then he raised his hands towards the remaining airdrop pods slowly falling from the sky, and in everyone's viewfinder, he even opened his helmet visor.
