Chapter 331: Blue 6’S First Mission!

Chapter 331: Blue 6’s First Mission!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Hope was flying towards that life-preserving planet at its highest speed. As they got closer, they realized that the strange evolution around them was becoming increasingly common. Many of the curiosities started consuming each other before exploding or disappearing. This struck fear into people on the Hope who did not really understand what was happening.

"Scary, these things around us are very scary."

This kind of observation could be heard all around the Hope. Thankfully, it was Yao Yuan who gave the orders. The Hope had been through many scary moments like this, and Yao Yuan had managed to lead everyone to safety every time. Yao Yuan’s influence on the ship was unimaginably high because he was someone who had led the human civilization to survival and improvement in space. It was not crazy if some of the citizens directly treated him like a god!

Therefore, even though the citizens on the Hope were nervous, they were not worried. They prayed silently for the success of this mission, and those who had families and friends in the Black Star Troopers looked at the Space Combat Jet Prototype 011s that protected the Hope with both pride and worry in their eyes. On one hand, they wished that their families and friends would return as heroes, but on the other, they wished they would just stay out of danger…

Compared to the public, the military and political party within the Hope felt much better, especially since it was Yao Yuan and not Guang Zhen who was leading the Hope. In fact, this was one of the reasons why Guang Zhen was leading the rescue mission and not Yao Yuan. This way, no matter how weird the scenery outside the Hope looked, the people within would still feel safe.

Yao Yuan was currently in central command ordering the Hope to move forward. However, they did not move at a straight line because Yao Yuan wanted them to avoid coming into contact with those random masses that flew in irregular patterns in space. The closer they got the planet, the greater the number of these masses. Thankfully, there were still pockets of emptiness that the Hope could make use of as it flew towards the planet. Therefore, the Hope was dancing on a steel wire. No one could be sure what would happen if they bumped into those masses, and no one wanted to try. Getting to the planet thus required contribution from the Diviners as well as Thinkers who could analyse and calculate the speed and direction quickly. This was the time for Yao Yuan as the All-Rounder to shine. Even though his power was weaker than Zhang Heng's as well as Xiao Niao's and Ren Tao's in terms of Diviner and Thinker power respectively, having the combination of both at that time outshined everyone else.

With Yao Yuan commanding, the Hope reached the planet without coming into danger. As they neared the planet, suddenly seven or eight large, giant, red dots appeared on the surveillance screen.

These seven or eight dots represented seven or eight large alien spaceships. Even though they were smaller than the junkyard aliens’ super large mothership, they were each incredibly huge, at least several ten times bigger than the Hope. Even among all the spaceships and unknown masses, these seven or eight spaceships were the largest of them all.

The spaceships appeared on the screen. For some reasons, unlike the others, they had not undergone serious mutation. Even though there were signs of contained mutations on the surface, generally speaking, one could still see that they were spaceships, and these spaceships were rushing at the Hope at their top speed!

At that moment, the Hope had entered another conundrum. What kinds of spaceships were these? Why would they rush towards the Hope, and what was the Hope to do?

"Attack! Yao Yuan! We must attack first! With the advantage the Space Combat Jet Prototype 011s provide us and the pilots' advantage, we must destroy these approaching spaceships! We mustn’t expose the public to dangers like these!"

This was the first response transmitted from Guang Zhen. He was the commander of the rescue mission, and they were gathered around the hangar. Of course, the place was also fitted with a giant 3D screen that allowed them to know about the encroaching spaceships.

Even though Guang Zhen was not a Homo Evolutis, his power was only smaller than Yao Yuan's on the Hope. He was the Hope’s successor, the main commander of the Defense Unit, and the vice leader of Black Star Troopers. Yao Yuan valued his opinions of course, but Yao Yuan would not buy into his words completely. After all, Guang Zhen was not a Thinker who could pick out the many aspects of a situation.

"…First, there is one thing I can be certain about, and that is that all these spaceships have Homo Evolutis… or cosmic adapters. This is definite, or else they would not have been able to maintain the rough shapes of their spaceships. Next… the number of their cosmic adapters must be pitiably low. Perhaps only one, and that is why we can see that the closer they are to the planet, the more obvious the mutation gets." Ren Tao scratched his head as he continued with his analysis, "Secondly, their purpose is probably not to attack us. If anything, they are coming to us to seek shelter, or grab at that last sign of hope. Just look… they do not care about anything else, their only wish is to get close to us as soon as possible!"

Yao Yuan nodded and agreed. "You’re right, I think the same way, and according to our current situation… Ren Tao, don’t you think that these unknown masses around us and the mutations… are incredibly scary? For some reason, I feel that these things will change into demons to attack us. I fear the Hope is not strong enough to fight against these monstrosities."

Ren Tao’s face shifted. He thought about it and shrugged. "It’s your call cause you’re the chancellor. In any case, I still maintain my stance… when the Hope is in irrevocable danger, I hope you will remember your promise towards us. We are the ones you have sworn to protect, not the strangers on the Noah One! Don’t use our lives to try to be a hero!"

Yao Yuan nodded solemnly. "I promise you and promise everyone else! Now, get me Blue 6. Hasn’t he been petitioning for a position of power within our society and wishes to be a part of the Hope’s governmental structure? Go and tell him… if he manages to finish this mission, then he will become the Hope’s Minister of Foreign Affairs!"

Blue 6 was walking back and forth in his own room. In fact, when he found out that the Hope’s destination was the cursed planet, he had been incredibly worried. At the same time, after his contact with the larger society of this race called human beings, he was shocked by the scope of humanity and its miraculous potential!

Just what kind of race was this!? He did not know of their history, but the key issue was… they had several hundred cosmic adapters, and there were almost one hundred Grade-S cosmic adapters. They even had the legendary Immortal-grade that could create godtier civilizations. So what in the world was really going on?! As long as no accident happened to this race, this race was definitely going to become a middle-tier space civilization!

Yes, that was the least of their potential!

The difference might sound small on paper, but a level 4 space civilization could completely ignore the other space civilizations beneath it. Wasn’t that the target the Blue Race has been slaving for? However, becoming a middle-tier space civilization… was immensely difficult. The Blue Race was an optimistic race, but even the most optimistic among them did not think that the Blue Race would become a level 4 space civilization before declining. This dream of many space civilizations, Blue 6 could see it coming into fruition easily for this human race!

Therefore, he desperately wanted power within this human race. From what he had observed, this human race seemed to respect each other’s influence and power. This was similar to the Blue Race’s internal structure. Therefore, he wished to gain power within the human society. In that case, when the human race becomes a level 4 space civilization in the future, as a part of the higher hierarchy, he could help the Blue Race gain benefits. He could even help Blue Race become a middle-tier space civilization by asking the human race to lend them aid!

At that moment, he received the message from central command…

"What? Minister of Foreign Affairs? What does that mean? This minister… means a secretariat? In other words, your human emperor wishes for me to become the secretary of foreign affairs?!"

Blue 6 roared in excitement. He started running back and forth in his room. His excitement could not be contained. Even his underlings had faces full of happiness. It completely undid the months of depression from being locked up. Everyone congratulated Blue 6. One of them said, with a huge smile, "Your Highness, congratulations. This is so surprising that the human emperor is so open that he is willing to give you a position as important as the secretary of foreign affairs, but… Your Highness, this might not be the time, but since you are going to represent the human race on this mission, then please…"

Blue 6 waved him away and said, "That is for certain, it is only feudal! It is such a sacred contract! I will use my soul and my life to protect this sacred contract that has saved the Blue Race multiple times. I will use the best of my ability and passion to help this human race that we are in service of! Even if the enemy is the Blue Race, there will be no partiality!

"Come on! Let us go fulfil our first mission!"
