Shadow of Deep Space

Chapter 494 The Beginning

Su Ming looked at Emkain's back and sighed slightly.

At this time, An Ruoxue and Celis entered the ward from outside.

"The chat is over."

An Ruoxue said while looking at Su Ming with a smile.

"Ah."

Su Ming nodded.

"You are so eager to return to the Federation, is it because of the first rain?"

An Ruoxue put her hands behind her back, approached Su Ming with a sly smile and asked.

"No, I've been missing for almost a year, and there are still many relatives waiting for me in the Federation."

Su Ming shook his head and explained to An Ruoxue.

"Okay, I'll just reluctantly believe this explanation."

An Ruoxue replied with a smile.

At this time Su Ming raised his head and said to An Ruoxue.

"Ruoxue, can you push me out to get some fresh air?"

"Okay, I'll help you up."

An Ruoxue walked forward, gently helped Su Ming up from the bed, and sat him in the wheelchair next to him.

"I need some fresh air, too."

Celis floated directly onto Su Ming.

"it is good."

Su Ming smiled and touched Celis's shell.

An Ruoxue gently pushed Su Ming through the room and into the long corridor. Every ten steps there stood a soldier wearing exoskeleton armor.

When they saw Su Ming, they all bowed to him to express their highest respect.

Su Ming nodded slightly in response to everyone.

An Ruoxue quietly pushed Su Ming forward. Neither of them spoke along the way and the atmosphere was a little silent.

At this time, An Ruoxue broke the silence and asked in a low voice.

"Su Ming, if there is no one in the Federation worth your concern, will you stay?"

"what?"

Su Ming was also stunned, and looked up at An Ruoxue in surprise.

"Haha, no, I was just kidding."

An Ruoxue said jokingly.

"Well, Ruoxue, can you push me to the hangar? I want to take a look at my mecha."

Su Ming did not continue to ask, but changed the subject.

"it is good."

An Ruoxue pushed Su Ming and walked towards the hangar.

Not long after, An Ruoxue pushed Su Ming to the hangar. When they entered the hangar, they ran into Wickend and others.

When they saw Su Ming, they first showed excitement, then they thought of something and spoke in a somewhat helpless manner.

"grown ups."

"Wickend, is everyone okay?"

Su Ming asked with a smile.

"Very good, that"

Wickent replied hesitantly.

"If you have anything to ask, just ask directly. Don't be shy."

Su Ming spoke to Wickent and the others in a friendly manner.

"Sir, are you really a general of the Federation?"

"Yes, but the Federation is not as evil as you think. All the things you think are false information spread by Emperor Vanluo. In fact, the Federation has not fought against the Kingdom of Apocalypse. In recent years, it has been the Kingdom of Apocalypse that has taken the initiative to provoke trouble, and the Federation has been more defensive."

"Ah."

Wickent and the others replied in confusion.

"Are you afraid of me?"

Su Ming asked with a smile.

Wickent and the others shook their heads like rattles and replied immediately.

"Don't worry, the adults are so nice, they are definitely not bad people. As for the Federation, it shouldn't be that bad either."

"Well, there is one more thing I need to tell you. I will be leaving in a while and returning to the Federation. Do you want to come with me?"

Su Ming said as he looked at Wickent and the others.

After listening to Su Ming's words, Weikent and others showed complicated expressions on their faces, and finally they spoke.

"I'm sorry, sir. We really want to go with you, but we can't abandon our fellow countrymen who are suffering. We need to stay and fight for them."

"Okay, then you guys follow the Divine Word Legion. If you run into any trouble, you can find An Ruoxue. She will help you."

Su Ming nodded and said to Wickent and others.

"Okay, let's go to training first."

Wickent and the others nodded in response.

"Go."

Su Ming nodded.

Wickent took his subordinates out of the hangar, while An Ruoxue pushed Su Ming forward.

Soon they arrived in front of a camera position, where they saw the pseudo VI generation biological mecha Ilinias, holding the Dragon-based Spear in her hand, standing on the camera position, exuding a terrifying aura that was enough to fill people with fear at a glance.

Su Ming raised his head and looked at the Dragon-based Spear carefully. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. He said with some emotion.

"This gun is really powerful!"

At this time, Celis floated up and spoke to Su Ming.

"I have read the information about this gun. Let me give you a systematic introduction. This gun is called the Dragon Base Spear. It is a new type of 6th-level weapon made by the Kingdom of Apocalypse for Emperor Vanluo. The whole gun is very strong and sharp, and has special energy. It can ignore energy shields, draw energy from mechanical mechas, weaken biological stand shields, and store and release energy!"

"Great!"

"Also, the main material used to forge this gun is the main core dug out from that special planet. As for the materials used in the Red Nu Gun, they are actually the main material of this gun, the radiated stone."

"If that's the case, we really have found a treasure."

Su Ming replied very happily.

"Yes, but there is one thing that makes me feel strange."

Celis replied with a very confused look.

"whats the matter?"

Su Ming and An Ruoxue looked at Celis curiously.

"From what I read, the location of the special planet excavated by the Kingdom of Apocalypse is within the heartland of the Chirami clan. How did they manage to dig deep into the Chirami area?"

Celis explained in great confusion.

After Su Ming heard what Celis said, his expression became very serious, and he continued.

"There is indeed a problem. The Federation does not even have the ability to mine deep into the alien territory, so how could Apocalypse have the ability? Therefore, there is only one possibility."

"You don't think that the Kingdom of Apocalypse is colluding with Chirami?"

Celis looked at Su Ming and asked in surprise.

"Yes, Celis, do you still remember the battle with Andefa in the Abyss of the Fallen?"

"Remember!"

"At that time, Andefa summoned the Chirami to fuse and fight. And there was also a problem with that battle. The Kingdom of Apocalypse had just launched a surprise attack on the federal defense line, and the Chirami tribe also launched an attack. Don't you think it's too coincidental?"

"You're right, it seems to be true!"

"The only thing I can't figure out is why there are so many metal fire seeds in the Kingdom of Apocalypse?"

Su Ming said with a frown.

"Could it be that the Kingdom of Apocalypse is colluding with the Mechanical Clan?"

Celis thought for a moment and replied.

"No, the Kingdom of Apocalypse does not use metal fire seeds in coordination, but uses mechanical devices to squeeze out power. It is obvious that they are not in the same group."

"Could that be what they looted?"

"This kind of metal fire is not that easy to get, so I think it should be given by the Chirami tribe to the Kingdom of Apocalypse. After all, the Chirami tribe and the Mechanical tribe are mortal enemies, and there have been many wars between the two."

Su Ming gave his final speculation.

"The Kingdom of Apocalypse is really crazy. They are colluding with alien races. This is blatant treason!"

Celis said excitedly.

"Ahem, although this is true, it cannot be said completely. It does not mean that being friendly with other races means betraying one's race."

Su Ming coughed quickly and said.

Celis immediately realized that Ilyas was still beside her, so she quickly shut her mouth.

At this time, Ilinyas' charming voice sounded, and she spoke to Su Ming and Celis.

"No need to explain, I don't care at all."

"hehe."

Su Ming smiled awkwardly.

At this time, Ilinyas said thoughtfully.

"Su Ming."

"what happened?"

Su Ming replied immediately.

"Nothing, I just shouted."

Ilinyas hesitated for a moment, but gave up asking Su Ming.

"Ok?"

Although Su Ming was a little confused, he did not continue to ask.

At this time An Ruoxue spoke softly to Su Ming.

"Su Ming, it's almost time for you to go back and rest."

"it is good."

Su Ming nodded.

An Ruoxue pushed Su Ming back.

At night.

Su Ming tossed and turned in bed, so he sat up and leaned against the headboard.

"Su Ming, what's wrong with you?"

Celis floated over and asked curiously.

“No, I slept too long during the day and couldn’t fall asleep. Celis, can you help me log into the Apocalypse Kingdom’s Bright Forum quietly?”

Su Ming turned and said to Celis.

"No problem, the doctor has given me permission!"

Celis then controlled Su Ming's bracelet, connected to the fortress, and anonymously logged into the Light Forum of the Kingdom of Apocalypse.

Su Ming raised his bracelet and started browsing the forum of the Kingdom of Apocalypse.

The entire Apocalypse Divine Kingdom Forum is very lively, with everyone discussing the latest situation.

"Those dogs of the Federation have finally been defeated."

"Yes, I heard that the Dark Star Empire has sent more troops to the Misty Star Sea. The guys from the Federation were beaten so badly that their mothers can't recognize them."

"Now, not only our two countries are attacking them, but neutral countries and foreign races are also attacking them. They are so arrogant in the past, but now they are finally reaping the consequences."

"I heard that they are not at peace in their own country either, and many people are protesting."

"If I were to protest too, I would really be causing trouble everywhere."

After Su Ming read this information, his brows were furrowed.

The Federation's situation is worse than previously speculated.

At this time, Celis said to Su Ming.

"Su Ming, you are not well yet, don't let the information on the forum affect your mood."

"Ah."

Su Ming nodded and replied.

Seven days later.

An Ruoxue walked into the ward and saw Su Ming walking down from the bed.

"Why did you get out of bed?"

"It's okay. I feel much better. At least I have no problem moving around."

"That's great."

"Ruoxue, can you please talk to your father and arrange a ship to take me back?"

Su Ming said to An Ruoxue.

After hearing this, An Ruoxue was also stunned and asked with some disappointment.

"So soon? Can't you stay a few more days?"

"Oh, no."

"Okay, come with me."

An Ruoxue forced a smile and replied.

"Ah."

Su Ming nodded.

An Ruoxue took Su Ming out of the ward, passed through layers of guards, and came to an office.

dong dong!

An Ruoxue knocked on the door.

"Come in."

A steady voice sounded from inside the house.

An Ruoxue pushed open the office door and walked in with Su Ming.

The entire office is not large, only about 100 square meters, but the walls are lined with bookshelves filled with various books and documents.

At this time, Colonan was sitting at his desk, reviewing the reports submitted by his subordinates.

"Father."

An Ruoxue shouted.

Coronaan raised his head and saw Su Ming also following An Ruoxue, so he quickly stood up and said.

"Ruoxue, General Su Ming, why are you here?"

"Father, now that Su Ming is feeling better, he wants you to arrange a ship to take him back."

An Ruoxue spoke for Su Ming.

"So anxious?"

Coronaan looked at Su Ming and asked.

"I can't help it. I've been out for too long. And in my current physical condition, I have to go back for treatment."

Su Ming replied with a wry smile.

"How about this, I will personally give you a farewell party tonight, and then arrange for a ship to take you back."

Coronaan did not refuse and agreed readily.

"Okay, thank you Master Coronaan."

"Don't say those awkward words."

"Well, we'll leave first and not disturb you from working."

Su Ming then left with An Ruoxue.

at dusk.

In the spacious small restaurant, Coronaan prepared a table full of delicious dishes, but only Su Ming and the other three were dining there.

Koronaan poured Su Ming a cup of tea and said.

"You're not well yet, so I won't pour you any more wine."

"Ok."

Su Ming replied politely.

"General Su Ming, I'll be honest with you. I have only admired a few people in my life. But I really admire you. The Battle of Saint Mandy Planet was really thanks to you. I toast to you!"

Kolonaan said, raising his glass.

"it is good."

Su Ming picked up the cup and clinked it with Coronaan.

The two drank it all in one gulp.

Coronaan then poured himself another glass and said to Su Ming with a smile.

"General Su Ming, I heard from Ruoxue that you took great care of her when we were in the Federation. Later, when her identity was exposed, you let her go. Let me toast you again."

"Lord Coronaan, you are really too polite. An Ruoxue and I are good friends."

Su Ming quickly poured a cup of tea and said.

"Don't say that. You still have to have the right attitude!"

"All right!"

"Come, try these dishes and see if they suit your taste."

Coronaan then invited Su Ming to have dinner.

"Ah."

Su Ming was also very considerate and tried every dish.

At this time, Coronaan kept blinking at An Ruoxue, signaling her to keep Su Ming.

Finally, An Ruoxue said with a smile.

"Father, is there sand in your eyes? Why do you keep blinking?" Colonnaan was so angry when she heard An Ruoxue's words. Her daughter was really disobedient.

After hearing this, Su Ming raised his head curiously, took a look, then smiled without saying anything.

At this time, Coronaan also said with an awkward smile.

"It's okay, I accidentally got some dust in my mouth just now, let's continue eating!"

"it is good!"

Su Ming nodded.

More than an hour later, dinner was over. Seeing that he could not keep Su Ming, Coronaan sighed and said.

"General Su Ming, I have already had the ship prepared. Ruoxue will personally send you back."

"Thank you."

Su Ming replied gratefully.

"Don't thank me, this is what I should do. And Mr. Su Ming, no matter who you are, you are our most trusted friend. You are always welcome here."

Coronaan said to Su Ming sincerely.

He really hoped that Su Ming could stay. After the last battle, Coronaan had finally faced the reality.

He cannot overthrow the Divine Emperor Fanluo by himself alone. Only people like Su Ming have a chance.

"it is good!"

Su Ming nodded.

"Ruoxue, I'll leave the rest to you."

After Coronaan gave An Ruoxue his instructions, he stood up and left dejectedly.

An Ruoxue then looked at Su Ming and said with a smile.

"Let's go."

"Ah."

Su Ming nodded.

Not long after, Su Ming and An Ruoxue arrived at the dock of the Holy Shadow Fortress.

The level 5 battleship Shadow of the Soar was ready, and Ilinias was also moved onto the ship. As for the remaining silver executors, Su Ming did not take them away, but left them to An Ruoxue.

An Ruoxue brought Su Ming into the Soying and came to the central control room.

"Miss!"

Captain Xia Lu and others greeted respectfully.

"Well, are you ready?"

An Ruoxue asked.

"Well, we have fully resupplied the ship, and everything is safe. This time we will sail from the rear border of the Apocalypse Kingdom's production area and take a long detour directly to the federal area."

Xia Lu said simply to An Ruoxue.

"Okay, let's set sail!"

An Ruoxue gave the order very straightforwardly.

"Yeah, I can finally go home."

Celis said to Su Ming excitedly.

Su Ming also breathed a sigh of relief, as he was finally about to embark on the return journey.

At this time, Xia Lu and others began to operate the ships, and the entire level 5 battleship began to slowly leave the Holy Shadow Fortress.

On the observation deck.

Coronaan and Emkain stood side by side, looking at the slowly departing ship, with complicated expressions on their faces.

Emkain said in a deep voice.

"I thought you would try your best to keep him."

"I tried, but it didn't work. He was very determined. It would be rude to try to keep him."

Coronaan said with a sigh.

"Too."

Emkain replied with great emotion.

half year later.

Kasin Star Sea area.

A level 4 transport ship is sailing forward.

In the central control room.

A middle-aged man with a stubble on his face, a little thin, and wearing captain's uniform, sat in the command chair and said while yawning.

"This voyage is really boring. How long will it take us to arrive?"

"Captain Danger, almost there!"

The crew member next to him replied with a smile.

"Damn it, if it weren't for the fact that domestic business is so difficult, I would never do foreign shipping."

Danjie cursed irritably.

Just then a communication request popped up.

The operator took one look and shouted in confusion.

"Lord Danger, we have received a communication request from an unknown ship."

"What unidentified ship are you talking about? What is the ship's communication device?"

"The other party used a TSD communication device."

"TSD communication device? That's not the communication device of the Kingdom of Apocalypse. Go!"

Danjie suddenly thought of something and shouted in horror.

The operator immediately turned on full power and drove towards the distant starry sky.

At this time, a missile was fired from the rear, flew to the front of the ship and exploded.

"what!"

Danjie and others were immediately startled.

At this time, the communication request pops up again.

"Sir, should we answer it or not? It seems like the other party is warning us."

"pick up."

Danger replied in horror.

"Yes!"

The operator immediately took action.

The moment the communication was established, a synthesized voice sounded.

"Open the cargo door at the rear of the ship immediately."

"what?"

"Execute immediately, or you will bear the consequences."

"Yes!"

Danger replied in horror.

At this time, the Shuttle Shadow, in stealth mode, was rapidly approaching the transport cabin.

Inside the Shuttle Shadow's hangar.

An Ruoxue and Su Ming are saying their final goodbyes.

"I can only take you here. Going forward is the patrol area of ​​the federal border. The transport cabin will take you to the federal border."

"Okay, thank you for your meticulous care during this period. Thank you for your hard work."

Su Ming said gratefully.

An Ruoxue shook her head and replied with some sadness.

"I don't feel tired, but I feel very happy. I just didn't expect that the good days would end so soon. Su Ming, will we meet again?"

"Yes, I believe we will meet again in the near future."

Su Ming promised solemnly.

An Ruoxue reached out and hugged Su Ming, pressing her cheek against his chest and spoke softly.

"I am waiting for you."

"it is good."

When Su Ming heard An Ruoxue's words, he felt a slight movement in his heart. He reached out and touched her head and said.

At this time, Captain Xia Lu came over and said.

"Miss, it's time for General Su Ming to leave."

When An Ruoxue heard Xia Lu's words, she slowly let go of her hand, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said to Su Ming with a smile.

"Go back and take good care of yourself. If you have the chance, go to the Misty Star Sea and see the first rain."

"it is good."

Su Ming nodded.

Inside the central control room of the Level 4 transport ship Gray Squirrel.

Danjie timidly took out a beam gun from his waist, and the subordinate next to him asked in horror.

"Captain, what are you doing?"

"Those guys from the Apocalypse Kingdom are just a bunch of lunatics. I heard that if you fall into their hands, you will die a very ugly death. It's better to fight them than to be tortured by them."

"Captain, don't worry. Haven't you noticed that there seems to be no movement up to now?"

"Huh? What are they doing?"

Danjie was also stunned and asked in confusion.

"I don't know. They seemed to have transported something into the cargo hold, and then there was no movement."

"Let's go and have a look!"

Danjie immediately plucked up his courage and walked towards the cargo hold with his subordinates.

Not long after, Danjie and others came to the cargo hold, only to see a third-generation mecha Light Wing and a huge mechanical sealing box in the cargo hold.

At this time, the cockpit of the third-generation mecha Light Wing opened, and Su Ming floated down and walked towards Danjie and the others.

Danjie and others stepped back in fear and asked in panic.

"You, who are you?"

"Don't be nervous, I'm a general of the federal government, and this is my ID!"

Su Ming pulled out his officer ID from his wallet and flashed it in front of them.

Danjie and others were also dumbfounded when they heard Su Ming's words, and asked in surprise.

"A general from the Federation? Then why are you on the ship of the Kingdom of Apocalypse?"

"I hijacked it. If you just send me back to the Federation, I'll give you credit!"

Su Ming said to Danjie.

"really?"

Danjie asked in surprise.

"of course it's true."

"it is good."

Danjie immediately smiled happily.
-
Federation Dark Star.

In the center of the City of Sin stands a city lord's palace that is hundreds of meters high. It is built entirely of black gold stones and has all kinds of solemn and complex patterns carved on its surface.

The main hall of the City Lord's Mansion is extremely luxurious. The dome on the top is embedded with various exotic gems, emitting a special halo. Ancient works of art are placed on the walls on both sides, and the floor is covered with carpets made of white animal skins.

Long Ying was sitting on the throne at the innermost part of the hall, his face as gloomy as water.

Admiral Sinrad, a middle-aged man wearing black fourth-generation armor, with an upright posture, sharp features and sharp eyes, and many top masters sat on the chairs arranged on both sides below.

This middle-aged man was none other than Long Ying's son, Long Huai.

At this time, the tightly closed door of the hall was pushed open, and two figures in black cloaks walked in.

The eyes of Long Ying and others were all focused on the two of them.

At this time, a cloaked figure slowly untied his hood to reveal his face. The person who came was none other than the Mechanicus's Leader Cross.

He smiled and bowed to Longying.

"Lord Longying, long time no see!"

"It's been a long time indeed. How come you have time to come this time?"

Long Ying asked coldly.

Cross said to Longying with a smile on his face.

"Lord Longying, I am here to discuss something important with you."

"event?"

"That's right. The troops of Rain City are being held back by the Kingdom of Apocalypse in the Tidal Star Sea. City Lord Alicia has already led the VI-generation mecha to the Tidal Star Sea. The troops of Sky City are being suppressed by the Dark Star Empire in the Misty Star Sea. Farron has also led the VI-generation mecha to support them. As for Long Bai, he has also led his troops to support the wormhole space-time defense line! Now the highest combat power of the entire Third Planet has all left, and only Jakkers is left. Now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take action! Our goal is very simple. First, find the Speaker of the Longxian Council, and second, find his mecha. From the information and data we have obtained so far, there are three most suspicious places. One is below the City Lord's Mansion, one is below the Xiguang Laboratory, and the other is below Long Lan's City Lord's Mansion."

"Let me think about it again."

After listening to Cross's words, Long Ying's expression kept changing, and finally he said in a deep voice.

Seeing that Longying was indecisive and unable to make a decision at the critical moment, Cross smiled and said.

"Lord Longying, I'm going to say something unpleasant, I hope you won't be angry."

"Say!"

"You, and everyone present, including me! We are no longer ordinary people, but new humans, Homo sapiens, a completely new race. If you don't take action now, once the Federation finds out that you are not human, you will be doomed."

"Are you threatening me?"

Long Ying spoke angrily.

"I'm not threatening you. I'm just reminding you. You have to know that the Federation's technology has been advancing rapidly. Sooner or later, it will be impossible to hide it."

Cross said with a smile.

After hearing what Cross said, Long Ying's expression became more distorted and he was very angry, but he couldn't express it.

At this time, Cross naturally saw that Long Ying was irritated. Knowing human nature well, he knew that blindly threatening people would easily backfire, so he spoke.

"Lord Long Ying, listen to me! Even if you hadn't become a Homo sapiens, Chairman Long Xian would not pass the position to you. Now the situation is very clear. He has handed over all the weapons and power to Long Bai. You have no hope at all! But now your chance has come. As long as we can find Long Xian, or get his mecha, the mechanical clan will attack with the whole clan, and will definitely be able to kill through the Federation. The chief of the mechanical clan has promised to recognize the identity of Homo sapiens, and you will rule all humans in the future!"

After hearing what Cross said, Long Ying's expression relaxed a lot, but he still spoke.

"How can I be sure that what you say is true?"

"I can prove it."

At this time, another cloaked man who had been silent made a hoarse mechanical synthesized voice.

"who are you?"

Long Ying asked with a frown.

At this time, the man in the cloak stretched out his mechanical arm to lift the cloak, and a black robot with red spider eyes appeared, and it spoke to Longying.

"Introduce myself, I'm Pamier, the deputy chief of the mechanical clan!"

After listening to Pamier's words, Long Ying took a deep breath and then spoke.

"Words are not enough. I want to see something real."

"Don't worry, I will personally take action this time. In this universe, I am the god of technology, and no one can compare to me."

Pamier replied in the affirmative.

"Okay, what do we do next?"

Long Ying spoke in a deep voice.

"It's very simple. I have converted all the prisoners in the prison into Homo sapiens and changed their identities. The next step is to disperse them and send them to the Third Planet and Tianlan Star, and then wait for the opportunity!"

Cross said with a smile.

"Okay, let's do as you say!"

Long Ying made up his mind and decided to give it a try.

He has no choice now. After all, he has already left the human race and can only go down this path until the end.
-
The starry sky outside the Federation Border and the Varrick Line.

Transport ships and interstellar cruise ships painted with the logos of different corporate groups were all stopped outside the defense line and subjected to various inspections.

At this time, the Level 4 transport ship Grey Squirrel came from a distance.

In the central control room.

Danjie looked at the many ships lined up in front and said with a sigh.

"Alas, the strict inspection has started again. I don't know when I can get in."

After hearing Danjie's words, Su Ming thought for a few seconds and then said.

"Captain Danger, drive the ship to the military channel and send a communication request to the defense command. Leave the rest to me."

"Ah? Are you sure? If this isn't done right, I'll be in big trouble."

Danger asked a little worriedly.

"You don't have to worry about that."

Su Ming replied with certainty.

"it is good!"

Seeing Su Ming said so, Danjie did as he asked.

The transport ship then flew in along the military waterway. When the ships along the way saw it, they all started discussing it on the public communication channel.

"Whose ship is that?"

"So awesome, take the military route!"

"That's not the way to cut in line. Isn't that courting death?"

Before Danger could send a communication request to the defense line command, the Varrick defense line command sent a communication request.

When Danjie saw this, his face turned pale.

"I'll pick up the communication."

Su Ming then stepped forward and said.

"it is good!"

Danjie picked up the call and quickly stepped back.

Soon, a dark-skinned, older man wearing a major's uniform spoke angrily.

"I'm Major Zhang Kui. Who told you to occupy the military waterway?"
