Chapter 1: Emergency Rescue

about sentinels and guides:

In the interstellar era, along with the mutation of various creatures, two kinds of evolutionaries appeared among human beings, evolutionaries with excellent senses and physical abilities are called sentinels, and evolutionaries with strong mental power are called guides.

Sentinels have strong physical abilities, but they are prone to mental breakdowns or even go rampage and lose their sanity when they used their abilities. Guides with strong spiritual power can sort out the spiritual world of sentinels and calm their emotions. Therefore, sentinels and guides can be regarded as the best partners.

【Emergency Rescue】

The night of December 31, 499, the ephemeris calendar.

A pure white tower stands in the middle of the city, the spire submerged into the clouds, there is no end in sight, the tower emits a soft shimmer from time to time, blends in with the surrounding starlight.

The white pagoda in the dark night is like a holy temple.

In the square below the White Tower, two groups of soldiers were patrolling back and forth, each tall, muscular, with solemn looks on their faces, wearing escort uniforms.

White Tower, which is a restricted area designed by the Federal Military Department that could only be entered with a pass. The people who live in the White Tower are the most powerful sentinels and guides in the Federation.

Because the sentinels have evolved extremely strong five senses, the sense of vision, hearing, smell, and other senses. their senses are several times stronger than ordinary humans; they became easily disturbed by external noises.

The more powerful the Sentinel, the more outside interference will be perceived. Therefore, inside the White Tower, white noise is filled 24 hours, which is used to block out complicated sounds and allow the sentries to get the fullest rest.

In Sentry residence S-103 in the White Tower, a tall man is working out.

The man wore only a simple pair of trousers and a tank top, his healthy wheat-colored skin was covered with sweat. His arms are extremely strong that he can easily lift hundreds of pounds of barbells with one hand. The muscles on his body are not knotted, it was well-proportioned and beautiful. A face with clear contours, sword eyebrows, handsome, and tough.

An S-class sentinel like him, whose physical fitness has evolved to the limit of humans, does not require additional exercise. Exercising and sweating every night before going to bed is a habit he has developed over the years -consuming vigorous physical energy will help him sleep more.

After half an hour of vigorous exercise, the man got up and packed up his equipment, then went into the bathroom and took a shower.

Just after he took a bath and was preparing to sleep, suddenly, the communication device on his wrist lit up, the man looked down and saw a line of eye-catching red words appear on the communication device: Emergency mission! The Falcon Special Operations Team immediately set off to rescue the Sawtooth B73 Safety Zone. Mission Hazard: Unknown. Task priority: Red.

Lu Zexuan casually took a black combat uniform from the hanger next to the fitness equipment, dressed neatly as quickly as possible, and went out.

Within a moment, a group of sentries came to the helipad on the upper floor of the White Tower one after another. These sentries all belong to the Falcon Special Combat Team, they are very familiar with each other, after they gathered, several people exchanged a look and whispered.

"What emergency rescue mission is it, the danger is still unknown?"

"It's Base B73, I went with Master once ten years ago, where the birds don't even want to go there."

"Isn't that desolate Resource Star is over there? What happened?"

At this moment, there were clear footsteps ahead, a tall figure appeared around the corner, the group of sentries hurriedly stood upright.

"Captain Lu!"

The sentries saluted the man in unison.

Lu Zexuan's gaze swept across the queue, when he saw that everyone was there, he waved his hand: "let's go."

In the center of the tarmac, there was a huge black starship, shaped like an eagle with wings spread out, its sleek metal wings look like sharp blades. As Lu Zexuan pressed the knob on the ring, the golden pupils of the starship slowly lit up, casting a clear light and shadow on the ground.

Lu Zexuan walked in the front, followed by dozens of sentinels, the group of people boarded the starship in a neat and orderly manner.

Falcon Special Warfare Team, the most powerful Sentinel elite unit in the Federation. Captain Lu Zexuan is one of the few S-class sentinels in the Federation, the rest of the sentinels are all A-class level evolutionary abilities.

The starship setted off, and the skylight of the tarmac slowly opened.

Lu Zexuan stood in front of the command platform, looked at a young man wearing glasses in the queue, and said, "Moer, report the mission information."

Moer, is the accompanying guide and information officer of the Falcon Special Warfare Team, graduated from the Guide Medical College of the Federal Military Academy and studied for a master's degree in guide medicine, with a solid theoretical foundation and rich experience in practical treatment.

Unlike Sentinels, who evolved to the extreme, guides evolved stronger in spiritual powers. Moer's memory is particularly good, as long as he has read the information once, he would never forget it and could even recite it backwards.

"The target location of this mission is located near the Kenya canyon on planet B73 of the Sawtooth constellation, which has two polluted areas: the 13th pollution area is full of an alien plant that feeds on flesh and blood, they can quickly reproduce and devour the surrounding life, the venom that's released by the petals has a strong corrosive ability, and their weakness is they're fear of fire. As for contaminated area 14, there is no relevant information yet." Moer reported the information he had gathered as quickly as he could.

"Don't have relevant information? Did no one go in and investigate?" A young sentry with short blonde hair asked in a low voice.

"Someone has gone in. it's just that no one has ever come out alive." Moer looked at him and said as gently as he could.

"....." A group of sentinels looked at each other.

Almost at the same time, everyone remembered the information on the communicator just now: the danger of the mission, unknown.

Lu Zexuan pointed to the map projected by Moer and said, "Since we are allowed to carry out an emergency rescue mission, there is only one possibility, the contaminated area has spread, threatening the human base. We must hurry to get to the target location."

The man said and turned to the command room and set up the navigation path.

The Falcon Special Combat Team has performed many difficult missions, and the members have lived a life of licking blood on the tip of a knife, they are accustomed to facing all kinds of unknown dangers. No one knows what will happen before each expedition, so they will write a will and arrange the aftermath.

Although human beings have evolved into powerful sentinels and guides in the interstellar era and have the ability to travel between stars and space with the help of technology, what human beings know is too small compared to the vast universe.

The planet B73 of the Sawtooth Galaxy is a resource star occupied by the Federation twenty years ago, a large number of metal minerals are needed to make spacecraft was distributed from the planet.

Pollution Zone 13 was demarcated after that battle, and because this strange bloodthirsty plant could not be completely eradicated, humans finally used the grid to build an isolated safe base for resource extraction.

For twenty years, those alien plants have not spread, humans and them can be regarded as a peaceful coexistence.

But since plants feed on flesh and blood, according to the law of ecological balance, there must be other animals on the planet. What animal it is, no one knows.

"Bang!" A cluster of brilliant fireworks suddenly bloomed high in the sky, and everyone in the spacecraft looked out the window in unison.

At 0:00 a.m., the largest central square in the Federation began to celebrate New Year. The fireworks display ceremony attracted many people to watch, colorful fireworks were decorated in the vast area on the canopy, and a prosperous scene was rendered.

The 500 years anniversary after the founding of the Federation is indeed a memorable day.

The nobles and officials who lived in the capital star lived the same luxurious and happy life as they did in the Earth era. Those fears and dangers in the depths of the universe can only be experienced by sentinels and a very small number of guides who accompany the team.

The soldiers inside the spacecraft looked at the lively scene outside the window, they were silent for a while. No one knows if after this mission, they could come back alive and see next year's anniversary.

A moment later, an icy mechanical voice sounded in the ears: "The spacecraft has left the atmosphere of Phoenix Star, ready to accelerate. Navigation target, planet B73 of the Sawtooth galaxy, the spacecraft is about to make its first space leap in 10 minutes..."

At this time, the planet B73 is on the edge of danger in the human base.

The streets were littered with bloody fragments of corpses, heart-rending screams resounded all around, and survivors frantically fled like frightened animals.

"Aaaaa---help---"

"What kind of monster is this, oh my God!"

"Huhuhuu, Mom, it hurts so much, my leg is broken!"

"Run! Go to the underground shelter!"

Under the heavy rain, the blood on the streets flowed into rivers, the scene illuminated by the dim streetlamps was like a purgatory on earth.

In the middle of the night, the residential area was suddenly attacked by an aberrant species, ordinary humans who had not evolved didn't even had time to see those monsters' appearance, were already killed and injured, although the local garrison came to rescue in time, but the garrison that was not strong in combat effectiveness obviously could not fight these man-eating monsters.

They are comparable in size to trucks, run at amazing speeds, and can easily smash human buildings, humans are as small as ants in front of them.

Piercing sirens sounded in the night sky, the living people frantically fled for their lives.

In the midst of the scattered crowd, there was a teenager who seemed out of place. Compared with other terrified humans, his face didn't have any expression, his black and red eyes looked a little strange in the dark night. It's just that everyone is busy running for their lives, so no one notices him.

The boy walked quickly to a cake shop, opened the door and entered the house, came to the corner of the house, lifted the floor, then jumped in lightly into the basement.

The basement is filled with all kinds of sundries, mostly cake-making materials, and a simple wooden bed.

The boy sat on the edge of the wooden bed, listening intently to the movement outside.

Messy footsteps passed by the cake shop door, accompanied by human screams and cries.

"Ahhhh, they are chasing after me!!"

"Quick, find a place to hide!"

A moment later, the sound of a giant beast running wildly from afar, shocked people's eardrums.

One of the behemoths seemed to smell something and stopped in front of the cake shop. It sniffed with its nose and slammed its feet on the ground, the ceiling in the basement shook violently, fluttering down a layer of dust.

The boy held his breath, closed his eyes, and used his spiritual power to perceive the outside world.

In the darkness, several red intelligent tentacles quietly poked out through the cracks in the basement door, gently wrapping around the giant beast limbs like vines, and instantly hit its brain at lightning speed!

The giant beast only felt a buzz in his head like being shocked, and suddenly lost the ability to think.

"There is no prey here. Go over there."

A clear, calm human voice sounded in the monster's mind; its expression was sluggish for a moment. Immediately after, it nodded its head in realization, turned around obediently, and rushed in the opposite direction, knocking over several of its own species along the way.

Those monsters that was knocked over looked at it with a confused expression. How does this guy run in the opposite direction? Is it lost?

In the basement, a small white fox and a red nine-tailed fox are guarding the boy's side. Their conversation could be heard in the teenager's mind: "A huge aberration with a not very smart head. Intelligence C-level, not difficult to deal with."

The young man said coldly: "Just drive them away, don't be troublesome."

Within a few moments, two more mutants stopped near the cake shop.

Boom -The door of the cake shop was broken, the floor was almost smashed by them, the whole house was shaking violently. The teenager stretched out his intelligent tentacles again, wanting to drive them away.

At this moment, bang bang, a crisp sound of gunshot suddenly sounded outside, the gunfire was neat and clean, you could tell that it was a well-trained team when you heard it.

"Team 1, build a heavy fire defense network to stop these aberrant species! Hounds bring team 2 to search for survivors as soon as possible!"

"Yes, Captain!"

The calm and powerful voice of the sentry came from a distance.

The teenager immediately withdrew his intelligent tentacles so as not to be discovered.

And as he retracted his spiritual power, the two giant beasts that broke into the cake shop went on a rampage, directly collapsing the floor, countless broken floor tiles fell down like rain.

The teenager who was hit by the falling floor tiles and injured his head: "..."

Rescue team, did you really came at a good time?

The author has something to say:

Pollution area: there are aggressive alien creatures. It's a dangerous zone, not suitable for human livings.

a safe survival base is established by humans, there's a protective power grid around the base.
