The plunder of the heavens begins with the Spirit Cage.

After Lin Fan reported that he was safe, Lin Qingya showed concern again: "Brother, Aunt Zhang's husband is dead."

Gina Star is so dangerous, I think you should come back.

The money we've saved up is enough to live on in Star City now.

"Hey, didn't I tell you? There's no danger for me to stay at the camp and help with the business."

Lin Fan smiled and comforted him, feeling a warmth in his heart, but a hint of bitterness also flashed across his eyes.

The year the apocalypse came, my parents tragically lost their lives in a sudden attack by people infected with Scarlet Syndrome.

He dragged ten-year-old Lin Qingya to survive in the ruins, and with his reckless tenacity, they eventually settled in a small but relatively cozy camp.

But who would have thought that the sudden appearance of the Devouring Beast would ruthlessly destroy all of this!

Now he realizes all too well that there is no truly safe place in the wasteland.

The only way he could get a place in the Dark Fortress was to join the Hunters, a semi-official organization.

"I'm doing fine here..." Fearing she wouldn't believe him, Lin Fan changed his perspective to show her the size of the shop.

Lin Qingya then turned her worry into joy and talked about the changes in Starlight City.

"Although Mayor Du thinks about how to make money off us every day, he is extremely serious about urban planning and construction."

To ensure the people here can live in peace of mind, he has decided to allocate two-thirds of the manpower and machinery to prioritize the repair of the city walls…

Lin Qingya talked a lot, and Lin Fan listened attentively. Everyone could see Du Sinan's enthusiasm and initiative.

In an effort to motivate the survivors, the other side even devised an incentive policy.

Whether you're a hunter, a worker, or a mercenary, you can receive different levels of treatment and benefits under a detailed system of tiered contributions.

Of course, this treatment refers to material distribution, not class distinctions among survivors.

"boss!"

A greeting interrupted Lin Fan's thoughts. Lin Qingya recognized the guest's presence, said a few words, and then hung up the call.

He turned around with a smile, about to ask the guest what they needed, but when his eyes met the person who had come in, he suddenly froze on the spot.

The person who arrived at the shop was none other than Lu Qianwei, the actual commander.

The tall and beautiful figure beside him made Lin Fan miss his movements by half a beat.

He never expected that the eighteenth princess of the Heluo Kingdom would appear on the planet Jina!

Although the state used the title of 'Supreme Administrative Official' to refer to Emperor Dongmu, no matter how much reform was implemented, it was difficult to change the concept of the imperial system in a short period of time.

Lin Fan could understand his influence from the large group of people standing outside watching.

He subconsciously straightened his back, and his smile became somewhat restrained, as if he wanted to speak but didn't know how to say it.

Dong Mingxi took in his surprised and stunned expression: "Judging from your expression, have you seen me somewhere before?"

Lu Qianwei was also somewhat surprised, raising an eyebrow as he looked at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan exhaled a breath of stale air to calm himself down, then shook his head and replied, "Your Highness, I haven't seen you."

I'm just fortunate enough to be in the same school as you, two years below you, so I'm considered your junior.

I even saw you give a speech on behalf of the graduates at the graduation ceremony that year.

It turned out to be the case.

Dong Mingxi nodded knowingly. There were quite a few alumni from the same school in Jingxu, so she didn't care too much.

After exchanging a few polite words with a smile, she glanced at the various exotic beast materials and equipment displayed in the shop.

"Junior Brother Lin Fan, then please introduce the products in the store to us."

"Of course, no problem, please, distinguished guests!" Lin Fan gestured to the two of them in a general manner.

Both are important figures, so it's best not to reveal their titles or forms of address.

Because of the size of the mythical beasts, the stalls in the market are quite spacious.

Beneath the dome, which is three zhang high, thick concrete pillars support the roof beams. Shelves are stacked on both sides of the wall, with the head of a ferocious beast placed directly on the top shelf.

This is a symbol used by the hunter squads behind each shop to demonstrate their strength.

If they're lucky, they might even get extra employment from the Black Fang Army through this head.

Several people slowly walked in along the wide passage, and Lin Fan took the opportunity to introduce the origin of the shop.

"Gentlemen, everything in here was obtained and hunted by our Muxiu team."

"Among the hunters on Gina Star, our team is considered top-tier in the industry."

Dong Mingxi listened and nodded, his gaze soon drawn to a rather grotesque skeleton on the shelf.

The skeleton's head had a set of fine, sharp teeth, and several deep claw marks remained on its neck.

She pointed and asked softly, "What kind of creature is this skeleton?"

“Your Highness, this is the skeleton of the Iron-Spine Throat-Splitter,” Lin Fan said, stepping closer and pointing to the bone structure in the throat area.

"This creature is extremely cunning, often lurking in the low valleys of razor grass to ambush passing creatures."

One hunting party had previously suffered heavy losses in a surprise attack by the enemy.

"Its skin density is frighteningly high, and it is very difficult to penetrate with an ordinary laser gun."

Our team accepted the bounty, but conventional methods were ineffective in hunting it down.

They used a specially formulated neurotoxin, which was injected into its eye socket, and that finally eliminated it completely.

As he spoke, he turned and pointed to a complete set of leather armor displayed on a shelf not far away.

"Please look, gentlemen. This is a bracer made from the hide of an Ironback Ridge-Throat Beast."

Although the outer layer of skin has significantly reduced its protective properties, ordinary bullets still have a hard time penetrating it while wearing this leather armor.

Dong Mingxi approached and touched the wristband, her fingertips tracing the rough, hard leather surface, and nodded.

He didn't seem to care much, and casually asked, "The neurotoxin you mentioned earlier, is it a biological weapon?"

Chapter 49 Zero Boundary

"Um... Your Highness, we have discovered that the plant toxins on the planet are highly lethal to wild beasts."

The team's narcotics expert used a type of poison sac called a "spiky sac" as a raw material to create this paralyzing poison needle.

At this point, he turned to look at Lu Qianwei beside him and added, "Of course, the formula and production of this toxin were all approved and authorized by the Black Fang Base, and are absolutely compliant."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dong Mingxi was drawn to a transparent ecosphere next to him. Inside the ecosphere, a dark green vine was wriggling slightly, with a small dark purple flower blooming at the top.

She tapped the side of the box lightly with her fingertip: "These vines look rather strange, what are they?"

“This is a poison-spraying vine, and it’s alive.” Lin Fan quickly stepped forward and pointed to the roots of the vine. “This thing is more ferocious than a wild beast. It usually hides on trees to disguise itself.”

If any living thing gets close, the vines will suddenly spring back, spraying out a highly corrosive sap that will cause even the slightest bit of flesh to rot and spread to the bone.

It can be considered a branch species of the tree vine monster.

We acquired it by accident; we captured it because the flames could blind and disorient it.

"What's the point of catching it?" Lu Qianwei asked, pointing to the poison-spitting vine that had glued the glass all over with slime.

"Uh... well, mainly to collect its corrosive solution," Lin Fan answered truthfully.

"This thing, combined with the substances inside the explosive insect, can be made into a biological bomb that is no weaker than a high-explosive grenade, and it is also corrosive and toxic."

"Of course, we have also reported these manufactured items."

Lu Qianwei nodded slightly. "Don't be nervous. If there's a report and Irina gives you permission to use and make it, then I won't say anything more."

He was well aware of the harsh environment on Gina Star.

At the same time, one has to admire these people who, in order to save some money, have come up with biological equipment through unconventional means.

They even have corrosion-resistant leather armor; indeed, the most suitable one is the most important.

Lu Qianwei walked to a shelf of glass jars, looking at the insects that only appear in dramas, and asked with some doubt, "How did you catch these exploding insects?"

"It's actually quite simple. As long as you don't touch its body, the insect won't have a stress response," Lin Fan said.

“In the store, we store them in low-temperature slow-release boxes.”

The constant temperature environment inside the box can suppress their self-destructive instincts..."

As they walked and looked around, Lin Fan would explain in detail the habits of the corresponding exotic beasts and the dangers of hunting them, whenever Dong Mingxi and the others pointed to an object or piece of equipment.

As the hunter's harrowing hunting experiences unfolded through his words, Dong Mingxi gained a more tangible understanding of the planet's harsh living conditions.

It's fair to say that colonizing this place was very demanding!

But compared to turning the desolate Martian environment into a habitable home, here we only need to be aware of the dangers within the forest.

Dong Mingxi thought that after Lu Qianwei showed her these things and she learned about the environment on the new planet, they would start negotiating.

Well, it turns out she panicked after seeing all of this.

Today's itinerary was not over yet. After having lunch, Lu Qianwei led them to the helipad.

The spaceship was naturally the one 'Zero Boundary', which was generously sponsored by the Wieland Yugaya Company and featured a miniature wormhole module.

It is worth mentioning that, according to satellite tracking, the crashed spaceship of Ironblood has been located and recovered.

The complete wormhole module inside was intact, and a group of elderly professors were groping around it aimlessly...

Looking at the 43-meter-long Zero Boundary, Dong Mingxi suddenly noticed a problem.

"General Lu, how did you bring this spaceship here?"

"Huh?! You mean this?" Lu Qianwei pointed to the Zero Boundary Ship. "I found it here."

Dong Mingxi raised an eyebrow and twitched her lips. Even a three-year-old wouldn't believe what she was saying.

Pretending to be ignorant when he knew the truth, Dong Mingxi stopped asking the question.

With a slight tremor, the spaceship smoothly ascended into the air. Dong Mingxi walked to the porthole and looked down at the land of Gina Star, where her view suddenly opened up.

Below, the forest canopy stretches endlessly, with layers upon layers of trees, and occasionally you can see giant creatures crashing into the tree trunks, causing them to sway.

In order to allow Dong Mingxi and his group to see the scenery along the way, the spaceship did not travel very fast, and even flew at low altitude like a helicopter.
