Zhao Xin was no stranger to the pretty woman from earlier.

The other party's name was Liu Ruyan, who was Ge Xiaolun's lawfully wedded wife. It was Chief Lianfeng who personally acted as matchmaker.

The two dated for less than six months before getting married, and have been very loving ever since.

Liu Ruyan is gentle and considerate, and her family background is extremely clean. She is said to be the granddaughter of a high-ranking official on Earth.

Zhao Xin didn't know if this could be considered a political marriage, but seeing Xiao Lun's happy and stable appearance now, he felt quite good about it.

Compared to the heavy burden he carried back then, the gentle and virtuous Liu Ruyan before him is clearly a better match for Xiao Lun.

Besides, no matter what, having a wife who loves you is much better than being a grown-up single dog like yourself!

Thinking of this, Zhao Xin felt a pang of jealousy. He glanced around to make sure no one was eavesdropping, then winked at Ge Xiaolun and whispered:


Ge Xiaolun chuckled, patted his knee, and said with a smile:

"Master Xin, you should ask Ruyan directly about this; she knows best."

Zhao Xin scratched his head awkwardly:

"Well... it's not very convenient, you know. How could I, a grown man, possibly ask for help?"

Seeing Zhao Xin's embarrassed expression, Ge Xiaolun chuckled and joked:

"Why go to such lengths when we have plenty of excellent female warriors within our own Super Soldier Company? There's a saying, 'Those who are near the water get the moon first.'"

"Alas, a rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its burrow."

Zhao Xin waved his hand, his reply light and easy, but a bitter smile crept up his heart.

For some reason, he just couldn't spark a romance with his comrades in the Super Soldier Squad, such as Wei Ying and He Weilan. Moreover, everyone was shouldering heavy responsibilities, and they didn't seem to have the mind to talk about love.

Seeing this, Ge Xiaolun stopped joking and patted his chest to guarantee:

"Okay, I got it. When we get back, I'll have Ruyan keep an eye out for you in her circle. I promise I'll find out something for you."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xin's eyes lit up, and he patted Ge Xiaolun's shoulder heavily:

"Good bro! My happiness for the rest of my life depends entirely on you!"

Ge Xiaolun laughed and said, "Brother Xin, there's really no need to rush this. We're all super soldiers now, with long lifespans, and we have a long future ahead of us."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xin immediately became displeased. He rolled his eyes at Ge Xiaolun and said irritably:

"Hey! Xiao Lun, you're just like a well-fed person who doesn't know the hunger of an starving one!"

As he spoke, he held up two fingers and gestured in front of Ge Xiaolun's eyes, then said seriously:

"I, Xinye, only have two simple ideals in this life."

"One is to protect the country and fulfill the responsibility of a super soldier. The other is to quickly find a good wife and live a life of wife, children, and a warm bed."

"Now that you've won the heart of your beauty, of course you don't understand your brother's suffering."

Ge Xiaolun was amused by his appearance and was just about to say a few more teasing words:

"Okay, I understand. I'll definitely make this my top priority from now on..."

However, before he could finish speaking, a piercing alarm suddenly blared:

"Woo! Woo! Woo!"

The red alarm lights were flashing intensely in the command center.

[WARNING! WARNING! High concentration of unknown spatial fluctuations detected!]

[A powerful, unidentified energy reaction has been detected in region three, the outermost edge of the solar system's defenses!]

"What's going on?!"

Ge Xiaolun and Zhao Xin's expressions changed drastically, their eyes instantly shifting from casual to sharp.

The two quickly jumped up from the sofa, took a few steps to the main control console, and stared at the main screen together with the officers and soldiers in the command room.

On the holographic screen, a nearly 300-foot-long black crack suddenly appeared in the previously dark and desolate starry sky outside the solar system defense line!

"Holy crap, what is this?" Everyone in the command room looked at each other in bewilderment.

The next moment, before anyone could react, a gigantic insect, a hundred meters tall, covered in a dark purple carapace, with countless fangs and serrated compound eyes, roared out of the crack, exuding a ferocious and violent aura.

"Damn! What the hell is that? A Void Worm?!" Zhao Xin's eyes widened, and his hand unconsciously clenched into a fist.

Ge Xiaolun's eyes darkened, and the Galaxy Power Super Gene Engine within his body instantly activated.

[Activate Dark Vision to scan the target.]

Void energy detected, suspected to be a void creature.

Upon receiving the feedback, Ge Xiaolun immediately shouted in a low voice, "Brother Xin, notify everyone! Prepare to engage the enemy!"

Then, he grabbed at the void with his palm, and the Void Greatsword immediately came into his hand, and the black armor instantly covered his entire body.

Zhao Xin's eyes turned cold as he drew his spear with a backhand, his dark energy surging wildly.

Just as Ge Xiaolun was preparing to head into space, Liu Ruyan, who had been watching the situation closely, rushed over, grabbed Ge Xiaolun's arm, and said worriedly:

"Xiao Lun, be very careful!"

Seeing the worry in his wife's eyes, Ge Xiaolun patted the back of her hand and gently comforted her:

"Don't worry, Ruyan, it's just a beast. It can't hurt me. You stay in the base and wait for me to come back."

After saying that, Ge Xiaolun and Zhao Xin did not hesitate any longer and rushed out of the command room to the platform at the front of the defense line.

At the same time, Liu Chuang and others, who had received an emergency combat alert, also put on their black armor and rushed over from all parts of the defense line.

In a short while, all members of the Super Soldier Company gathered in front of the space defense line.

The group stood side by side, their eyes fixed on the hundred-meter-long worm ahead, filled with murderous intent, fully prepared for battle.

The giant worm seemed to have noticed the group of tiny creatures as well. It raised its ferocious head and let out a piercing roar. Then, its massive body surged with rolling void energy as it charged towards the Super Soldier Squad.

"Holy crap, this thing looks like a giant flying centipede!"

Liu Chuang stared wide-eyed at the dense swarm of blade-like insect legs and couldn't help but shout.

Seeing this, Ge Xiaolun said with a solemn expression:

"Everyone, don't be careless, this could very well be a void creature! I'll cast void shields on everyone to prevent energy erosion."

As Ge Xiaolun finished speaking, transparent shields instantly covered the armor of every member of the Super Soldier Squad.

Liu Chuang glanced at the shield enveloping him, then slung the large axe over his shoulder with one hand, spat out a word, and eagerly said:

"Xiao Lun, I'm going to test this beast's strength first. Remember to catch me with the flying vehicle later."

Ge Xiaolun nodded emphatically and said in a deep voice, "Okay, Chuangzi, be careful."
