Chapter 2: Egg From The Stars
Mu Fan pulled out the dagger from the neck of the mutant beast and wiped away the blood on the beast, which was more than two meters long. He did not care about the five bloody claw marks on its back at all. He grinned.
His luck was good. This was a mutated beast that wandered around the edge of the jungle. It was dangerous but not fatal. In his eyes, the blood and wounds on its body were not as important as the hundreds of kilograms of meat on the ground!
Mu Fan narrowed his eyes as if he had never eaten his fill. Forget it, it was more important to fill his stomach first. He could save some food for a few days. He lowered his head and prepared to take his food out.
No, there was a sound! A deafening roar that broke the sound barrier came from the sky. The prey on the ground suddenly showed its shadow.
Mu Fan suddenly raised his head, and a flaming rainbow cut through the night sky like the sword of a god, piercing the ground of the planet!
Mu Fan stared blankly as the shocking fireball hit the jungle.
Wait, deep in the jungle?
Mu Fan's eyes widened. When he realized that he was not safe, the fireball hit the ground, and a shockwave from the violent shockwave hit him from the jungle three kilometers away. The jungle collapsed.
Before Mu Fan could close his jaw, he was pushed to the ground.
A huge puff of smoke rose, and the fire went out in the jungle. The people in the city district more than 40 kilometers away only heard a loud bang. They were used to falling meteors. They continued their nightlife.
…
Crack.
"My teeth, can I still eat meat?" The crisp sound of teeth clashing came from under the ground. Mu Fan shook his head hard from side to side. When the two slanted tree shadows combined into one, Mu Fan's mind finally came back to its senses.
He laid his head on the ground and looked at the sky, which had regained its peace and darkness. Then, he howled—My Meat!
With a push, Mu Fan's explosive body shot up from the ground. This time, he directly ignored the new wounds on his body and the dirt on his body. He looked around, and fortunately, his flesh did not get washed away. So, he sat down again in peace.
"What could it be? A meteorite outside the planet, or a piece of space trash that floats and falls?" Mu Fan's bright eyes flashed with thought. "Let's go and take a look first. It won't be too late to take it and leave when we come back."
He ignored the darkness of the night. The violent collision just now had scared away the beasts nearby. The farther he went, the more the trees fell. Mu Fan moved agilely toward the point of impact.
He could already smell the burnt smell of the trees in front of him. Leaping over a huge tree that was as thick as a person's arms, Mu Fan saw a huge pit in the shape of a spiderweb. In the center of the pit lay a… black egg, which occasionally flashed with sparks. Well, it was a black egg. Mu Fan confirmed his thoughts with satisfaction. His lack of knowledge made it hard for him to find a more suitable adjective.
Mu Fan carefully slid down from the edge of the deep pit. He looked curiously at the black egg, which lay quietly at the bottom, and walked toward it step by step. The occasional sparks on the black egg did not illuminate its original color. A dark egg-shaped object about a meter long lay in front of him.
"There are sparks from the circuit. It should be made of metal." Mu Fan casually picked up a broken tree branch beside him and knocked on it. "Thump!" There was space inside. He touched the leaf on the putaway tree branch and felt warm. "Hmm, the surface temperature of the object has dropped."
Mu Fan stretched out his hands, which were covered in torn leather gloves, and pressed them on the surface of the black egg. He felt the heat coming from his palms, and they were slightly hot. He pushed lightly with his hands, and the black egg moved a little from the huge pit.
"About 200 kilograms." Mu Fan stood up and looked around, covering the occasional spark on the black egg with the surrounding soil. Then he clenched his fist and shouted. He directly lifted the black egg from the ground, then put it on his right shoulder. He quickly bounced a few steps, jumped from the pit to the edge with strength that did not match his figure, and ran straight for his food. No one noticed a slender figure running deep into the wilderness on the outskirts of City 22 of Luojia under the night sky, carrying a big black egg in one hand and dragging a dead mutant beast in the other.
Mu Fan grinned, and his eyes sparkled. Go home, eat meat, and see what good stuff he picked up. Was this a gift from the stars?
Thick dark clouds covered the planet's thick space trash. Far away from the wilderness of the city and the edge of the jungle, where there was no one, everything perfectly covered up the small incident on the distant planet.
…
At the edge of their star system, 0.7 light-years away from the Planet Luojia, debris was wandering aimlessly in the quiet, mysterious space. Deep in the asteroid belt, a huge, dark crack suddenly tore through the space. Three heavy silver warships appeared. The streamlined, smooth hull was not painted with any logo, but the heavy particle-beam cannon, the size of a dragon, hung outside the ship. The densely-packed gun barrels of all shapes and sizes sticking out of the hull announced the terrible combat power of these three warships.
"Family Head, the fleet has already transmigrated to the outer realm. We have lost them! I have failed in my mission. Please punish me, Family Head!" On the flagship, the captain in the inky-blue military uniform half-knelt. Standing in front of him was a tall, middle-aged man in the same blue military uniform. Behind the glasses on his nose bridge was a pair of cold and dignified eyes. The old man looked expressionlessly at the captain who half-knelt in front of him. He paused for a few seconds. "Our Huangchuan family has been silent for a hundred years under the flag of the empire. Under the open and secret war between the empire and the federation, many of our former aristocrats have disappeared. Protect yourself first. Hmph. Those aristocrats from the Imperial Star have fallen completely. The opportunity has fallen on our heads. If we don't grab it, there will be no more chance. Chuan Thirteen, which star system is our fleet in now?"
"Family Head, we have now arrived in the Galaxy Federation's territory. We are currently in a small asteroid belt and have not been detected by the federation. Please make the decision, Family Head." An officer on the right of the middle-aged man quickly operated on the holographic projection screen. A small three-dimensional map of the galaxy was presented in front of everyone.
"Chuan Yi, get up. It should not be the dynasty's Hawkeye and his lackeys. They will not enter the Federation's Star Field. You can rest assured. Avoid the exposure of the fleet. Go back and speed up the preparation," said the middle-aged man, who was addressed as the family head, after a slight pause. "Return."
"Yes, Master!" The captain stood up and returned to the command station to give the order. "Activate the hyperdrive engine, power: 175%. Activate Hengchuan Iron Curtain Mode, load into the coordinates of space node 1, and adjust the coordinates by vector. All crew—return!"
The black crack that had just disappeared suddenly appeared again. It opened horizontally like a giant vertical eye. The white color that flowed on the warship's body strangely turned black, and then slowly sank into the crack. The vertical eye combined, and the asteroid belt was silent as usual.
If there were people from the Federal Science Laboratory, they would be extremely shocked. Small-scale stationary space transmission technology—this was the field that the Federation had just come into contact with—had been used by someone. However, no one knew about this.
