Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Amid the lively atmosphere, Derrick managed a few smiles.

"I have successfully completed my mission."

This reduced the number of casualties to some extent.

he thought.

"I will report this achievement to the esteemed elders immediately," the commander said.

"Hopefully, we can find the secrets that outsiders have hidden," Derrick said.

The commander patted him on the shoulder.

He then called out to those behind him, "Take our heroes down to rest first."

"Yes!"

"Colonel Derrick, please come with us."

The commander maintained a smile until Derrick disappeared from sight, at which point he summoned the biotechnology expert sent from the home planet.

"The outsiders that Derrick brought back are now in your hands. I hope you can uncover their secrets as soon as possible. This is crucial to the victory of the war. Do you understand?"

The expert nodded repeatedly: "We are also part of the Feathered Civilization, and at this time we should do our best."

"please."

The commander returned to his office.

He began to envision a bright future—

The outsiders' secrets were exposed, and as the frontline commander, he led his army to turn the tide and ultimately became the savior of the Feathered Civilization!

When he returns to his home planet, he will be greeted with the cheers of the people. Even if he lacks the qualifications, with the support of the people, he will officially step into the tower and become one of the rulers of the Feathered Civilization!

Just as the commander was considering whether he should have a special outfit custom-made, there was a knock on the office door.

The voice sounded a little hurried.

"Come in."

The commander straightened his clothes.

After the door opened, one of the biotechnology experts entered.

"Sir!" he shouted, "Something terrible has happened!"

"What is it?" the commander frowned. "Even if the sky falls, there's nothing to panic about."

The expert said, "All the outsiders that Colonel Derrick brought back have disappeared."

"what?"

The commander suddenly stood up.

"Who is it? Could there be a traitor among us?!"

His bright future!

"No, no," the expert quickly explained. "Those outsiders suddenly disappeared before our eyes, and there were no fluctuations in the surrounding space at the time."

"Then how did they disappear?" the commander blurted out.

He quickly realized that he had lost his composure.

"Take me there to have a look."

After looking at it for a while, I still couldn't figure it out.

Although the information processing module taken by the Feathered Civilization recorded the player's existence.

However, it only mentions that players are immortal, without explaining exactly how they are immortal.

Therefore, after three days of thorough investigation without any leads, Derrick was completely bewildered to find himself arrested.

Wait a minute, wasn't he a hero just three days ago?

"We are now forced to suspect that you, Colonel Derrick, are colluding with those outsiders!"

Derrick immediately protested, "That's impossible! I would never betray the Feathered Civilization!"

The commander said, "It's not up to you to say what you mean. Colonel Derrick, can you explain these issues?"

"Ok?"

Why didn't anyone stop you after you charged into the enemy lines?

"..."

"Why was the enemy's pursuit so casual when you were running away?"

"..."

"Why did those outsiders you captured suddenly disappear, while those captured by others at great cost did not?"

Derrick was speechless.

He argued, "It could just be a coincidence."

"Coincidence? Do you really believe that yourself?" the commander sneered.

"Perhaps they are deliberately framing me."

The commander laughed even more unrestrainedly: "Colonel Derrick, use your brain. Given your position in the military, why would they frame you instead of me?"

Derrick's eyes widened.

What else could he say?

"If you have anything to say, talk to the Military Investigation Bureau when you get back to your home planet. Send him off."

Derrick shouted, "I'm innocent! I'm innocent!"

"Ah……"

The commander sneered.

The scene of the welcoming ceremony three days ago is still vivid in his mind, and just thinking about it gives him a headache.

Damn it, who would have thought that this hero might be a traitor?

The so-called caution is actually a deliberate delay in seizing the opportunity.

Heh tui!

The allied forces' offensive has intensified in the past two days, and several defensive lines have been breached.

The commander, who was too busy to care whether Derrick was innocent or not, decided to send him back first.

……

Deep within the Feathered Civilization, on a certain planet, in the wilderness.

After several days of exploration, the players, with Zhou Jieyu at the core, reunited.

Now, the most serious problem facing them is that, without the aid of equipment, they cannot understand the language of the Feathered Civilization.

The path of disguise has been blocked.

[Damn it, my transformation card is ruined!]

This makes it virtually impossible to gather information.

There was only one path before them.

[Steal the spaceship!]

All eyes were on Zhou Jieyu.

There's no way they can escape!

With the words "Leading the Escape" prominently displayed above her head, Zhou Jieyu stood up.

[Rob his ass!]

Chapter 36 The Convergence of Adaptive Contracts

The cityscape of the Feathered Civilization is completely different from what players imagined.

There are no skyscrapers or ancient buildings; what appears before you are rows of rock dwellings.

From a distance, it looks like a forest of mushrooms.

Above such settlements, the sky above is always overcast, just like a winter evening.

If it weren't for the artificial sun high in the atmosphere emitting a faint glow, these ordinary inhabitants of the Feathered Civilization would be living in perpetual night.

I'm starting to understand why this part of the night sky is called a planetary graveyard.

After traveling more than 500 kilometers, the surviving players did not find a single plant.

There were no towering trees or low shrubs in sight.

The only thing that can be used as food is a fist-sized plant cultivated by the people of the Feathered Civilization.

It's dark and doesn't look very appetizing.

But this very thing feeds nearly a million residents on this planet.

When Zhou Jieyu and her group arrived near the settlement, most of the residents were gathered together, seemingly discussing something.

Although I couldn't understand what they were saying, I could tell from the frequency of their lips opening and closing and their gestures that they were having a very intense discussion.

[It's no wonder that outsiders say the people of the Feathered Civilization possess extraordinary adaptability, given their ability to survive in such an environment.]

Zhou Jieyu took off her special glasses and looked around.

[Does anyone want to see this?]

Several people immediately stood up.

Here, remember to return it to me after you've finished reading.

After handing over the glasses, Zhou Jieyu spoke again in the team channel.
