Shadow of Deep Space

Chapter 538 Bells
Gabres and others on the stage had serious and tense expressions, but their eyes revealed a hint of joy.

They could finally switch to the VI generation mecha, even if it was not the VI generation mecha with the characteristics of the Primordial Stone. At least they could fight against the VI type monsters head-on, and there was a certain probability that they could win by relying on their own technology.

Su Ming was also very happy about Gabres and others replacing their mechas. The Federation was really becoming more and more powerful.

At this time, Long Bai raised his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet.

The noisy scene became quiet again.

"With this replacement of the mecha, the Federation's strength will usher in a qualitative leap. But the Federation's strength is far more than that. As long as we give the Federation some more time, we will surely break through the difficulties, sweep across the entire universe, and spread the Federation's flag across the entire starry sea."

Long Bai declared to everyone.

"Long live the Federation!"

Everyone shouted excitedly.

"I declare the celebrations over."

Long Bai officially announced to everyone.

Swish!

Countless fireworks rose into the sky.

bang bang~
Countless gorgeous fireworks exploded.

At this time, Vice President Long Chen stepped forward and spoke with a smile on his face.

"Everyone, it's New Year's Eve tonight. Many soldiers who have been away for many years have just returned home. In order to let everyone spend a reunion year, the federal government will not hold an annual meeting this year. However, in order to celebrate the arrival of the new year, the federal government has specially invited Miss Hillis to perform publicly in Starlight Plaza. If you are free, you can come and watch."

"Ms. Hillis!"

"Great!"

Everyone cheered excitedly.

“Finally, thank you all for coming to this celebration.”

Long Chen bowed to everyone.

Su Ming and others then walked down from the stage.

Rhine and others came over and said to Su Ming excitedly.

"Boss!"

"Give."

Su Ming directly handed the V-type gene potion in his hand to Rhine.

"Boss, this is the V-type gene potion. Even the outer shell looks so advanced!"

Rhine took the freezer and said excitedly.

"I like it. I'll give it to you."

Su Ming said to Rhine with a smile.

"Ah, give it to me? Boss, you are not kidding, right?"

When Rhine heard Su Ming's words, he replied with a look of disbelief on his face.

"When was I joking?"

Su Ming reached out and patted Rhine's shoulder. This V-shaped potion was of no use to him. He had already been injected with the first generation version, which was more effective than this one.

"Thank you, Boss, but I haven't injected my IV yet."

After Rhine's joy, he felt a little troubled.

In fact, Rhine was injected with Type III gene medicine only after he was promoted to major general. Type IV gene medicine is generally only available to admirals.

"It's okay. I have an IV gene potion in my room. I'll give it to you as well."

Su Ming said to Rhine with a smile.

"Boss, I'm so touched. I don't know how to repay you."

When Rhine heard this, his eyes turned red with emotion.

"Go away, stop being such a woman."

Su Ming got goose bumps all over his body.

"that is!"

Ankajia and others also complained with envy.

At this time, Shiris, Violelo and others also came over and said to Su Ming with a smile.

"Su Ming, congratulations!"

"You still look more handsome in the general's uniform!"

"Yup!"

"Thanks for the compliment."

Su Ming responded with a smile.

At this time, Mo Xiu came over with Luo Kui and congratulated Su Ming.

"Su Ming, congratulations on your promotion to general!"

"Congratulations!"

Su Ming replied to Mo Xiu and the others with a smile.

"Thank you for the Misty Star Sea incident last time."

"Not so polite!"

"Yes, I wonder if you are free? I would like to treat you to a meal."

"Well, how about we wait until another day? I've been really busy lately."

"I understand. Then wait for the empty space."

Mo Xiu replied with a smile.

At this time, Commander Alecked, Commander Soleia, General Gabres, General Sigrid and others also came over.

Seeing this, Rhine and others quickly made way.

"Su Ming, congratulations!"

Aleckde and others congratulated Su Ming.

"Thank you."

Su Ming replied with a smile.

"Junior, your promotion speed is really embarrassing for us! When the Xingzang activity started, you were still a major general, but now you have been promoted to general in just a few years."

Sigrid said to Su Ming with a smile.

"That's all thanks to the care of senior and everyone else."

Su Ming replied modestly.

"We don't deserve this."

Sigrid and the others responded with a smile.

At this time, Su Ming saw Goodman also coming over. He wanted to congratulate him, but seeing so many superiors, he was a little afraid to get close, so he raised his hand and took the initiative to greet him.

"Old Man!"

Goodman was also surprised to see Su Ming waving at him, so he took a deep breath, walked forward, and congratulated him with a smile.

"Master Su Ming, congratulations on your promotion to general!"

"Thank you. By the way, everyone, let me introduce you. This is my friend Goodman."

Su Ming introduced to everyone with a smile.

"Ah."

Commander Aleck and others looked at Goodman. It was very rare for Su Ming to personally introduce someone as a friend.

Gabres recognized at a glance that Goodman was his subordinate and had been punished before.

Goodman was also stunned. He didn't expect Su Ming to introduce himself in front of so many superiors. This was clearly to help him make connections, so he quickly spoke.

"Hello, everyone."

"Goodman, although you have made some minor mistakes, your recent combat performance has been outstanding. You should be transferred back to your original position!"

Gabres said in a deep voice.

"Thank you Lord Galbraith."

Goodman said gratefully.

Although he was just transferred back to his original position, it means that he no longer has to bear any punishment, and his future is promising!

At this time, Long Chen, Mokdo, Taifalu, Su Mulong and others also walked over with smiles and congratulated Su Ming.

"Su Ming, congratulations!"

"Thank you, great-grandfathers!"

Su Ming said with great gratitude.

"Mu Long, Su Ming has been promoted to general, shouldn't you express your gratitude?"

Taifalu said to Su Mulong with a smile.

"Fuck you, of course I want this! Su Ming, come home sometime and the family will host a promotion banquet for you. It will definitely be a grand one!"

Su Mulong also couldn't stop smiling.

"Grandpa, there have been too many things going on recently. Let's forget about the promotion banquet. Besides, it's not appropriate now."

After hearing this, Su Ming quickly declined.

"Ok."

Su Mulong actually wanted to give Su Ming a grand ceremony, but what Su Ming said was not unreasonable.

The Federation withdrew all its troops, resulting in the sacrifice of many people. This is indeed not appropriate at this juncture.

At this time, Shilis said to Su Ming with a smile.

"Mr. Su Ming, I wonder if you have time to come and watch my public concert tonight?"

"this."

Su Ming replied hesitantly.

"It's a rare opportunity, we can go and see it together!"

Seeing this, Violelo also spoke up.

"Yes, we can celebrate New Year's Eve together."

Helena and others also followed suit.

Su Ming looked at Shilis and the others, then glanced at Long Bai who was talking to Jakels in the distance, then coughed and said.

"Sorry, I have something else to do tonight. Let's do it next time."

"Oh, that's a shame."

Upon hearing this, Shilis and others replied with great regret.

"Well, I have some things to deal with, so I'll excuse myself first."

Su Ming said to everyone present.

"Ok."

Everyone nodded in response.

Su Ming then walked away, then raised his bracelet, tapped a few times, and sent a message.
-
Dark Star, Imperial Palace.

In the dim hall, the Dark Star Emperor sat on the throne, and Prime Minister Roglia waited respectfully beside him.

A virtual image was projected in front of them.

In the video, Long Bai, wearing a Star Council robe, stood on the podium and gave a passionate speech.

"The current Federation has completely risen and become extremely powerful. It can face the traitors and aliens of mankind alone and is not afraid of any powerful enemy."

"Haha, so arrogant!"

When the Dark Star Emperor heard this, he burst into laughter.

"Emperor, the new chairman of the Longbai Council is indeed too arrogant."

Prime Minister Roglia said respectfully.

In fact, what Prime Minister Roglia said was not entirely unreasonable. The Federation recently annexed Saint Jox, the Kingdom of Shabasque, and many neutral countries. There is indeed a trend towards unification.

But you have to know that during the heyday of the Federation, the Kingdom of Apocalypse and the Dark Star Empire were both within the Federation system. At that time, the Federation, under the leadership of the President of the Longxian Council, barely defeated the Chirami and the Mechanical Clan.

Now Long Bai actually dared to say that he was not afraid of Qirami, the Mechanical Clan, the Dark Star Empire and the Apocalypse Kingdom. He was simply too arrogant.

But then again, if the Dark Star Empire and the Kingdom of Apocalypse returned to the Federation and humanity was completely unified, they would indeed be qualified to fight against the two alien races and compete for dominance over the entire starry sky.

But it is a pity that the Dark Star Empire and the Kingdom of Apocalypse have split away and become enemies. To be able to say such things is either a loss of brains or too crazy.

"But this Long Bai does have the style of Long Xian back then. His tactics are extremely strong!"

Although the Dark Star Emperor felt that Long Bai was very arrogant and did not take the Dark Star Empire seriously, he did not look down on him.

"Emperor, you are right. Not every president of the parliament has the courage to give up the three forbidden areas. Moreover, the Federation has indeed developed by leaps and bounds in recent years, while our strength is constantly declining."

Prime Minister Roglia replied in a low voice.

When the Dark Star Emperor heard this, his brows furrowed, and then he spoke in a deep voice.

"Hundreds of years ago, I and that old fellow Fan Luo followed Long Xian to fight against alien races. At that time, there were a total of five VI-generation mechas. After the split, I took one away! After so many years, we only added one. And as far as I know, the Federation has currently added eight VI-generation mechas! The gap between us is indeed getting bigger and bigger!"

"Emperor, what should we do next?"

Prime Minister Roglia asked worriedly.

"It doesn't matter. We still have a chance. Isn't the Federation celebrating the arrival of the New Year? Little do they know that the New Year's bell is the beginning of the countdown to their demise, haha!"

When the Dark Star Emperor finished speaking, he burst into laughter.

In fact, this is also the last chance of the Dark Star Emperor. If he fails to take down the Federation this time, then he will never have the hope of touching such a thing again.

"The Emperor is wise!"

Roglia said respectfully.

"How is my mecha modification going?"

The emperor asked coldly.

“It’s coming to an end.”

Prime Minister Roglia raised his hand and waved, and the virtual image in front of him suddenly switched.

A majestic and domineering mecha came into view, and many mechanics were busy modifying the internal parts of the mecha.

The Emperor looked at the mecha being transformed and said with satisfaction.

"Great, what about the Clone Corps?"

“It’s ready too.”

Prime Minister Roglia then waved his hand.

Suddenly, the projected video showed endless rows of biological jars.

Inside each biological tank, there is a clone soldier soaked.

Although these clone soldiers are not as strong as those of the Void Legion, each of them is very strong.

"Okay, my soldiers, wake up."

As the Emperor's orders were issued, countless biological tanks began to discharge nutrient solution.

Pairs of scarlet eyes opened.
-
Deep inside a wormhole space-time.

A 120-meter-tall mecha with a griffin-like metal head, made entirely of red rare metal and covered with intricate lines, a circular red halo embedded in its chest, sharp metal claws emitting a strange luster, a scarlet metal blade on its waist, a sun symbol branded on its chest, six pairs of dark red metal wings embedded on its back, and a trembling aura all over its body. This VI-generation mecha, Purgatory Blade (revised), was flying at high speed from the distant starry sky.

Inside the cab.

Cross said to Pamier.

"Are you sure we're flying in the right direction? I haven't seen anything yet."

"That's right, the Forbidden God Abyss is ahead!"

Pamier said hoarsely to Cross.

"Have you been here before?"

Cross asked with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Humph, I've been here before! Back then, when the Federation fought against the Chirami and the Mechanical Clan, the battle took place near the Forbidden God Abyss."

Pamier said to Cross.

Just when Cross was about to say something, he suddenly saw a very shocking scene.

In the distant starry sky, there appeared a hole with no end in sight. Inside was darkness and nothingness, like an endless abyss. Anything, including light, that touched it would be swallowed up mercilessly.

The entire cavity is very similar to the entrance to the Sinking Abyss, but the scales of the two are completely different.

And if you look closely, you can see that the hole has become bigger than before.

Cross instinctively sensed extreme danger and said to Pamier.

"Is this the Forbidden God Abyss?"

"That's right. In those days, Chief Helares and Chief Chirami broke in here by force and went inside to look for the divine objects. Later, Chairman Longxian led the Dark Star Emperor and the Fanluo Emperor to chase them in. The three parties fought fiercely inside the Forbidden God Abyss for the divine objects. In the end, Longxian won and came out with the divine objects and many primordial stones, which led to the establishment of today's Federation!"

Pamier looked at the Forbidden God Abyss and spoke with mixed emotions.

"So that's how it is. But I'm very curious, what exactly is that divine object? How could it drive the two clan leaders so crazy and even make Dark Star Emperor and Fan Luo Emperor rebel against the Federation?"

Cross asked curiously.

"You don't need to know this, just get down now!"

Pamier did not tell Clos of his intention.

"Are you sure we want to go down? Long Xian and the others were able to come back alive, but that doesn't mean we can also come back alive. This Forbidden God Abyss is probably extremely dangerous."

Cross lit a cigarette, took a puff and said.

"It's dangerous, but there's nothing you can do. Although the performance of the Purgatory Blade in your hand has been greatly improved after my modification, it's far from enough! And Chief Helares has been staring at me, and I don't have enough materials to make a top-level VI-generation mecha. Therefore, you can only take the risk and go down to retrieve the Primordial Stone. If you die in there, there's nothing you can do!"

Pamier did not promise Cross that he would come back alive.

"Okay, where do we go in?"

Cross smiled.

"Follow the flight route I gave you and enter little by little! Although this Forbidden God Abyss is dark and empty, with almost no celestial bodies or matter inside, once you find matter, it will definitely be good stuff!"

Pamier said to Cross.

"understand!"

Cross controlled the Purgatory Blade to fly in little by little.
-
Star City·K17 District.

In the hall of a huge and luxurious villa.

Sinrad walked in like an angry lion, and Natsu and others followed behind him with very ugly expressions.

The maids in the hall saw Sinrad's face full of anger and lowered their heads nervously.

At this time, Sinrad walked to the guest table in the hall, pressed his hands on the table, his face was a little distorted, and then he suddenly overturned the whole table.

slap~
The table fell to the ground, and all kinds of crystal tea sets shattered on the ground.

The maid at the scene knelt down in fear, not daring to raise her head at all.

"Sir, please calm down!"

Natsu and others hurriedly persuaded.

"Why should I calm down? I've had enough! I have done so much for the Federation, and I have put in so much effort, but what is the result? How did the Federation treat me? There are two general positions, but I don't even have a chance! It's fine if Su Ming took one, after all, that guy is really perverted, but what about Mo Xiu? Why did he get elected as a general!!!"

Sinrad said through gritted teeth.

Although he hated Su Ming very much, he had studied Su Ming's information and read his historical achievements.

This guy is really a monster, extremely strong.

Especially since he was fighting against Captain Sakali, Captain Asya and Cross alone, that was no joke!
He asked himself if he really couldn't do it.

"My Lord, the last election was indeed unfair."

Natsu said stiffly.

"These bastards say they are fair and just, but how can they be fair and just? Mo Xiu has made great contributions, but he was driving a VI-generation mecha, Thunder Angel! The guys who besieged him were at best pseudo-VI-generation mechas. Give me the Thunder Angel, and I can kill them all, and even kill more than him!"

Sinrad roared angrily.

"You are right, sir."

Natsu quickly agreed.

"These bastards clearly know that I am better than Mo Xiu, but they are unwilling to give me the position of general! Isn't it because Mo Xiu is the grandson of Lord Faloon, and I am just a commoner? They don't even see how much blood and tears I have shed, how many times I have fought desperately, and how long I have endured!"

Sinrad yelled, extremely out of control.

Natsu and the others swallowed their saliva and dared not say a word.

At this time, Long Ying walked in from the gate, took a look at Sinrad with bloodshot eyes and the messy ground, and frowned slightly.

"Lord Longying!"

When Natsu and the others saw the dragon's shadow, they hurriedly greeted him respectfully.

"Go down."

Long Ying spoke indifferently.

"Yes."

Natsu and the others quickly retreated, closing the door to the hall.

Soon, Long Ying and Sinrad were the only two people left in the hall.

Longying walked to the chair next to Sinrad and sat down, saying with a gloomy expression.

"I know you lost, and I'm very unwilling to accept it!"

“Lord Long Ying, how can I accept this? Those bastards would rather give the general position to Mo Xiu than to me. What have I become? A laughing stock for everyone!”

Sinrad replied with an angry look on his face.

"No matter how unwilling you are, you have to endure it."

"I can't bear it!"

"You have to bear it even if you can't. My niece is not a pushover. Besides, the situation is already decided. If you jump out now, she can easily deal with you!"

Long Ying warned coldly.

Upon hearing this, Sinrad clenched his fists, his bones creaking, and replied through gritted teeth.

"Am I just going to swallow this grudge?"

"A little impatience can ruin a big plan, and this loss is not unfair. Didn't you notice that when Mo Xiu was promoted to general, the Federation gave him nothing but power and position? To put it bluntly, this is an insider deal."

Longying said to Sinrad.

When Sinrad heard this, his expression kept changing.

"Sir, what should I do now?"

"Don't worry, the fun is just about to begin. It's not certain who will win until the last moment. When I succeed in my mission, you can have whatever you want!"

Longying promised Sinrad.

"Understood, sir!"

After hearing what Long Ying said, Xinrad suppressed the anger in his heart and spoke to Long Ying calmly.

"That's good. I won't say anything more."

Long Ying stood up from his chair and said.

"My Lord, I will take you there."

Sinrad said respectfully.

"No, you should take a good rest and adjust your condition. Also, deal with those unimportant people in the hall just now."

Longying said to Sinrad.

"Yes."

Sinrad nodded and replied.

Long Ying then turned and left the hall.

Natsu then walked in and spoke carefully.

"Sir, can I have someone clean this up?"

"No, go and deal with those people."

Sinrad said coldly.

"Yes."

Natsu immediately understood and responded.
-
Night time.

All the night lights in the entire Starlight City were turned on, and countless virtual advertising spaces were constantly playing the preview of Shirley's concert.

All streets temporarily lifted stall restrictions, allowing private individuals to set up stalls on the street side.

Countless people brought their children to play on the streets.

At this time, Su Ming changed into casual clothes, put on a baseball cap and black sunglasses, and came to Jinguan Street.

The entire Jinguan Street was crowded with young men and women out for fun.

Su Ming walked through the busy streets, heading forward, and soon arrived at the circular commercial plaza in the center of the street.

He stopped and looked through the crowd of passers-by at the fountain in the center.

Irelia was seen wearing a champagne-colored cheongsam and a purple hairpin on her head. Her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and her spirit was moving. She turned her head to look at the fountain in front of her.

Su Ming showed a bright smile on his face, walked straight to Irelia, and spoke with a smile.

"Why are you here so early today?" "I'm not like someone who says he's busy with work but is actually flirting and joking with a beautiful woman."

Irelia turned around and smiled brightly at Su Ming.

"No, that's all a misunderstanding. I'm here to find you."

Su Ming couldn't help but cough in embarrassment when he heard what Irelia said.

"Really? Then why did I hear that someone braved the foggy sea of ​​stars for love?"

Irelia asked, looking at Su Ming with a smile.

After Su Ming heard this, he was stunned. The smile on his face immediately faded and he fell into silence.

At this time, Irelia also noticed something was wrong and asked.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?"

"nothing."

Su Ming shook his head and replied.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore, let's go for a walk."

Irelia reached out her hand gracefully, took Su Ming's hand and said.

"it is good!"

Su Ming replied with a smile.

The two of them walked together on the street. Many couples along the way looked at Su Ming and Irelia and talked in low voices.

"Wow, that guy is so handsome! What a pity, why don't you look like that."

"He was wearing a hat and sunglasses, how do you know he's handsome?"

“That can be seen too!”

"Come on, don't you see how pretty the girlfriend next to him is? If you were half as pretty as her, I would be satisfied!"

"What did you say?"

"Ouch, baby, I was wrong!"

Su Ming and Irelia looked at each other, and the flirting young couple also smiled in silence.

At this time, the two passed by a high-end men's clothing store.

Irelia took a look at the clothes Su Ming was wearing, it was still the same sets, and stopped.

"what happened?"

Su Ming asked curiously.

"follow me."

Irelia walked into the store with Su Ming on her arm.

"Dear Sir and Madam, I am the shopping guide Lin Qin. How can I help you?"

A pretty woman in a red business suit asked respectfully.

"No, we can just look at it ourselves!"

Irelia said to Lin Qin calmly.

"Okay, I'll be waiting nearby. If you need me, just call me."

Lin Qin then respectfully stepped aside.

Irelia took Su Ming shopping for clothes.

"Are you going to pick out clothes for me?"

Su Ming asked with a smile.

"Well, don't you like it?"

Irelia raised her head and glanced at Su Ming, then asked with a chuckle.

"No."

Su Ming said very cooperatively.

At this time, Irelia took a black shirt from the hanger. The whole black shirt was made of very high-end material, and some texture could be vaguely seen.

"Try this one."

Irelia said to Su Ming.

"it is good."

Su Ming took the clothes and walked towards the changing room.

A few minutes later.

Su Ming changed his clothes and walked out of the dressing room.

Irelia looked at Su Ming, her eyes moving and a smile appeared on her face.

"Doesn't it look good?"

Su Ming asked with some confusion.

"You can look in the mirror."

Irelia said with a smile.

"nice!"

Su Ming turned his head and looked at the mirror, only to see that he was wearing a black shirt, which made him look cooler and more handsome.

"Not even close."

Irelia said with a smile.

"where?"

Su Ming asked curiously.

Irelia walked up to Su Ming, a faint fragrance wafting towards him, and then she raised her hand and buttoned Su Ming's collar.

Su Ming looked at Irelia who was so close to him, and his heart was filled with ripples for a moment.

At this time, Irelia saw Su Ming was looking at her, so she spoke softly.

"what happened?"

"No."

Su Ming replied with a smile,
At this time, Lin Qin, who was waiting in the distance, whispered to the sisters next to her.

"Wow, that boy is so handsome!"

"Yeah, but why does he look so familiar? I feel like I've seen him somewhere before."

"Don't talk nonsense. If you have ever seen such a handsome boy, you will never forget him."

"Too."

More than half an hour later.

Su Ming walked out of the store with Irelia, carrying the bag.

The two of them strolled along the bustling street.

Su Ming chatted with Irelia in a very good mood.

"Xiaoya, how did you feel about me when we first met alone?"

"Feeling? Uh, I've never seen anyone so shameless."

Irelia replied with a smile.

"Same as I guessed."

"Actually, I'm not an easy person to get along with, and getting along with me usually doesn't end well. I'm curious how you have the courage to do this."

"Even if the ending is not satisfactory, meeting is a good fortune!"

Su Ming said to Irelia with a smile.

"Ah."

Irelia nodded and replied.

At this time, Su Ming saw an ice cream truck parked on the side of the street and said with a smile.

"wait for me a while."

After Su Ming finished speaking, he walked towards the ice cream truck.

Irelia stood there and waited quietly.

On the other side, Su Ming came to the ice cream truck and said to the boss.

"Give me two vanilla ones."

"Ok."

The boss immediately made two vanilla-flavored ice creams and handed them to Su Ming.

Just when Su Ming took the ice cream and was about to leave, he saw a little girl with a ponytail and a chubby face looking at him pitifully.

Su Ming asked with a smile.

"Little sister, do you want to eat?"

The little girl kept nodding.

Su Ming handed her an ice cream, then turned and said to the boss.

"Do me another one."

"Ok!"

The boss then made another one for Su Ming.

Su Ming took the ice cream and returned to Irelia's side, handed the ice cream to her and said.

"Give."

"I don't eat that."

Irelia said, shaking her head slightly.

"Just give it a try."

"Ok."

Irelia didn't disappoint and took it.

The two walked forward while eating ice cream.

Irelia licked the ice cream with her tongue, then lightly lifted her hair, quickly turned the ice cream, and licked the other side where it was about to melt.

When Su Ming turned his head and saw it, he was also stunned and couldn't help but smile.

"what happened?"

Irelia looked at Su Ming and asked in confusion.

"no"

Su Ming replied with a smile.

"Are you sure you don't? Why do you feel like you're smiling strangely?"

Irelia replied somewhat doubtfully.

"Not really."

Su Ming replied seriously.

Seeing this, Irelia did not continue to ask questions, but just as the two of them walked forward, they felt as if someone was following them, so they stopped.

bang~
Su Ming suddenly felt a bump on his back foot and turned around to look.

The little girl holding the ice cream was seen blinking at Su Ming.

"Little sister, is there something wrong?"

Su Ming asked doubtfully.

"father!"

The little girl suddenly shouted sweetly.

When Su Ming heard what the little girl said, his face turned green.

Irelia also looked at Su Ming with interest and asked.

"Is this your daughter?"

"How is that possible? Little sister, stop screaming. Where is your mother?"

Su Ming asked nervously.

The little girl turned her head and looked around, then shook her head and replied.

"do not know."

"It's over. This one must be lost."

Su Ming said to Irelia with a wry smile.

Irelia glanced at the little girl and said.

"Let's wait here. I think her mother will come over soon."

"it is good."

Su Ming nodded and replied.

The two men took the little girl to the side of the road and waited.

At this time, the little girl's attention was attracted by the stall selling octopus balls next to her, and her saliva flowed out unconsciously.

Seeing this, Su Ming walked over and bought two octopus balls, handing one to the little girl and the other to Irelia.

The little girl started eating happily.

Irelia took a bite of one and handed the octopus ball to Su Ming.

Su Ming smiled and took a bite.

The three of them waited by the roadside, but when they finished eating, they still didn't see the little girl's mother.

At this time, the owner of the balloon-inflating stall next to him kept shouting.

"Ten federal coins, twenty bullets, and various exquisite dolls and gifts are waiting for you!"

The little girl was immediately attracted by the shouting, and her bright eyes stared at a white bear doll on the stall.

When Su Ming saw this scene, he suggested with a smile since he had nothing to do.

"Let's go get a balloon!"

"it is good."

Irelia nodded.

The two men walked the little girl to the stall, and the uncle spoke enthusiastically.

"Sir, would you like a round?"

"One more round!"

Su Ming took out ten federal coins and handed them to the uncle, picked up the imitation gun from the stall, pointed it at the balloon, and pulled the trigger!
boom!
The balloons were burst one by one.

All twenty shots hit the target.

The uncle was stunned.
"Uncle, please give me that white bear doll."

Su Ming said with a smile.

The uncle then handed the polar bear doll to Su Ming, and Su Ming directly gave the polar bear doll to the little girl and said.

"for you!"

"Wow, thanks Dad!"

After the little girl took the white bear doll, she happily reached out and hugged Su Ming's thigh.

Su Ming was a little embarrassed for a moment.

At this time, a woman wearing a silk long dress, with fair skin and pretty appearance came over in a panic.

The little girl shouted happily when she saw the woman.

"mom!"

When the woman saw the little girl, she rushed over excitedly, hugged the little girl and asked nervously.

"Nina, where have you been?"

"Mom, I found Dad. This is the doll he gave me."

The little girl said to her mother very happily.

When Irelia heard the little girl's words, she looked at Su Ming with a smile.

Su Ming's mouth twitched slightly, and he spoke quickly.

"Little sister, you got the wrong person."

The woman was also startled when she heard her daughter's words. She raised her head and looked at Su Ming, and quickly apologized.

"I'm sorry, my daughter recognized the wrong person. Please don't mind."

"It's okay, but what the hell is going on."

"It's like this, my husband died a few years ago, and he used to wear a peaked cap."

"I see."

"I'm so sorry, thank you so much for helping me look after my daughter. When we passed the ice cream truck just now, she wanted to eat ice cream, but I didn't buy her any, and she got lost. When I went back to look for her, she was gone."

"Well, be more careful next time."

Su Ming nodded and replied.

"Okay, baby, say goodbye to big brother and big sister."

The woman said to the little girl.

"Bye-Bye."

The little girl waved and said obediently.

"Bye, don't run around next time."

Su Ming said with a smile.

"Ok!"

The little girl nodded obediently, then left with her mother.

Su Ming and Irelia watched them leave and continued shopping.

At this time, all the pedestrians on the road stopped and looked at the huge virtual projection advertisement.

Miss Shilis was seen wearing a white dress and speaking sweetly to everyone.

"Everyone, the New Year's bell is about to ring. Let's count down together and welcome a wonderful new year!"

"it is good!"

Countless fans responded enthusiastically.

"10!"

"9!"

"2!"

"1!"

"0!"

Accompanied by the shouts of the crowd.

thump~
The silent bell rang, echoing throughout the City of Starlight.

"Happy New Year!"

Shirley blessed everyone.

Swish!

Countless fireworks were launched from every corner of the City of Stars.

Rumble~
Countless gorgeous fireworks bloomed.

A gentle breeze blew by.

Su Ming and Irelia stood on the street, looking up at the sky and watching the gorgeous fireworks explode continuously.

The two watched the fireworks show quietly until it ended.

At this moment, Irelia's bracelet suddenly vibrated. She looked down and saw the message that popped up, and her brows slightly frowned.

"what happened?"

Su Ming immediately felt something was wrong and asked.

"Nothing, it's getting late, I'll go back first."

Irelia said to Su Ming apologetically.

"Okay, I'll take you to the bus station."

Su Ming said to Irelia with a smile.

"Ok!"

Irelia nodded.

After a while.

Next to the public bus stop, Su Ming watched the public rail car drive away with a trace of worry on his face. It was obvious that something had happened, but he didn't know what it was.

buzz~
At this moment, Su Ming's bracelet suddenly vibrated.

He glanced down and saw that Rhine was calling.

Su Ming picked up the phone immediately.

"Rhine, what's wrong?"

"Boss, something happened."

Rhine said in a hurried voice.

"What happened?"

Su Ming frowned slightly and said.

"The Dark Star Empire and the Kingdom of Apocalypse are gathering troops on a large scale. This time, unlike in the past, the number of troops they are gathering is particularly large. Moreover, their troops are gradually moving towards the Danube Star Sea and the Tidal Star Sea."

"How do you know?"

“Isn’t the Star Forum fully open? The people from the Dark Star Empire and the Apocalypse Divine Kingdom directly clamored online. They even uploaded the video. Now both the Tidal Star Sea and the Danube Star Sea are in chaos.”

Rhine explained to Su Ming.

"It's a problem. The Crimson Nation has not withdrawn to the Federation."

Su Ming said with a headache.

"Boss, what should we do now? Will the Federation send troops?"

Rhine asked.

"The probability is not high. The current policy of the Federation is to retreat. A defensive battle is always more advantageous than a head-on battle."

Su Ming explained to Rhine in a deep voice.

"Now what?"

"I know about this matter. Let's wait for the federal government's decision first."

"Well, these dogs are not human beings. They won't let us have a peaceful New Year!"

Rhine cursed angrily.

"It's no use scolding me. I've known for a long time that this day would come, but I didn't expect it to come so soon."

"Boss, you're right!"

"Rhine, first send a team to take over the Star Destroyer Lei Ji!"

Su Ming's expression changed as he instructed Rhine.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Rhine hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

At this time, Su Ming raised his bracelet and opened the Star Forum.

The entire Qunxing forum exploded, with countless posts popping up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

Most of these posts were published by the Dark Star Empire, the Kingdom of Apocalypse and neutral countries.

Su Ming clicked on the most popular post.

The post contains a video clip in which a large number of fully armed imperial soldiers, armed with weapons, board the ship in a solemn manner. The camera then zooms out to a huge interstellar airport with many battleships docked. The scene is very shocking.

Below the post, messages from the people of the Dark Star Empire kept scrolling.

"Tremble! You Federal dogs!"

"Our army is gathering!"

"Your doom will soon come!"

"Fuck you!"

"A bunch of barbarians!"

"You won't let us have peace during the New Year. If you dare to come over, we promise to break your legs."

Su Ming looked at the two sides quarreling with a frown on his face.
