Chapter 31: Preparing to Roam the Planet (First Update)
The silver and slender aircraft passed through the bustling street district and arrived at the aviation port.
On the prominent position of the spacecraft, the ship’s rail pattern of the beast totem with black patterns on a white background was particularly eye-catching.
That was the hull number of the Silver Star Cluster Flag Team.
The aviation port of District 13 had been cleared in advance, and tidy footsteps stepped on the empty ground, making a dull sound.
The Silver Star Cluster was fully armed, wearing silver mechas, with firearms at their waists, their faces tightly wrapped in masks without revealing a single facial feature.
In their midst, four giant mechanical insects pulled an iron cage made of meteoritic iron energy stone, inside of which was locked a massive black tiger.
A bite guard was fitted over the tiger’s mouth, and its four limbs were firmly locked by meteoritic iron as thick as a finger.
“This isn’t sending him off; this is clearly taking him into custody!”
The beastmen standing at the outermost perimeter of the aviation port finally couldn’t help but let their eyes turn red, sobbing out loud.
Three months ago, the Federation Council had issued an order that once three months passed, Marshal Shen would be sent to the Blood Abyss.
This matter was known to everyone in the Federation.
As ordinary beastmen, they were powerless to change the orders of the Federation Council.
Once a beastman completely turned berserk, there was no cure, and the Blood Abyss was their final destination.
In the history of the Interstellar Federation, from beginning to end, no one had ever escaped the fate of complete bloodline berserkization.
Marshal Shen had driven away the Zerg and taken back territory, becoming the hero of the Federation; everyone was very grateful for Marshal Shen’s contribution.
Without Marshal Shen, they wouldn’t have the comfortable lives they had today.
But they were safe, while Marshal Shen was heavily injured by the Mother Insect, leading to complete bloodline berserkization. Inhibitors were powerless to change it, so he could only be sent to the Blood Abyss.
They were grateful to Marshal Shen and also felt guilty.
Because they couldn’t save Marshal Shen.
The news that Marshal Shen was to be sent to the Blood Abyss spread like wildfire, and beastmen spontaneously came to see him off.
Originally, they just wanted to silently see Marshal Shen off one last time, but what did they see?
The Federation hero was actually muzzled and chained like a prisoner.
The pent-up frustration in the beastmen’s hearts exploded instantly.
“Wuwuwu… Marshal Shen is our great hero. He isn’t a prisoner; you can’t treat him like this!”
“I request that Marshal Shen be untied! Even if Marshal Shen is to be sent to the Blood Abyss, he should go with dignity!!”
“Back then, it was Marshal Shen alone who heavily injured the Mother Insect, gaining for us the chance to counterattack the Zerg. He is the hero for all of us; he shouldn’t suffer this kind of humiliation!”
“Chief Executive, old lords of the Federation Council, I f*** your ***”
The curses of the sea of people outside the aviation port came one after another. The typewriter telegrams rang frequently, and some had even begun to attack the Chief Executive Kelisi and the various Federation councilors.
The fences surrounding the Star Network couldn’t stop the beastmen’s anger!
The peace officer of District 13 was so scared a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back, and he immediately summoned more security personnel to maintain order.
The security personnel felt incredibly frustrated; they also wanted to follow the crowd in cursing the damn Federation Council.
But they couldn’t.
As long as they still wore this skin, they had to carry out the orders from above.
Many security personnel had faces swollen like pig heads.
This was from being hit by angry beastmen.
The security personnel with some injuries on their faces were considered lucky.
A few unlucky security personnel were pressed to the ground and rubbed by beastmen who had gone too far into their primitive beast forms, having several bones broken; they definitely wouldn’t be able to get out of bed for half a month.
The Silver Star Cluster was a flag team that exclusively served the Federation Council, equivalent to the Imperial Royal Guard.
As long as one stayed in the Silver Star Cluster for a full three years, they would be at the rank of major regardless of which legion they went to in the future.
Moreover, the Silver Star Cluster mostly consisted of the children of the Star Clan clans and other nobles. By befriending even one at random, a future of promotions and wealth would be just around the corner.
Many people sharpened their heads to try and squeeze in, and Camille was very fortunate to be selected.
He put on the silver mecha, held the Federation’s most advanced weapons, and met leaders who were only seen on the big screen.
Camille felt that these three years would be the highlight of his life.
The thought of those ordinary soldiers looking at him with envious eyes gave him a sense of superiority for no reason.
Usually walking past ordinary soldiers, he would hold his posture high, wishing he could look at people through his nostrils.
This sense of superiority was maintained until the day he “escorted” the former War God, Marshal Shen.
Looking at the universally respected Marshal Shen being escorted by them to the Blood Abyss like a criminal, his heart couldn’t have been more satisfied.
Camille felt that the hero Marshal Shen was nothing more than this.
He thought darkly that if he also had Marshal Shen’s connections and resources, he would definitely climb higher than him and hold the entire Federation firmly in his hand, rather than handing it over to others.
Camille complained in his heart, and at the same time, his face took on an expression of disdain.
But when he got off the spacecraft and saw the dense crowd of people who had come to see Marshal Shen off, a thick jealousy rose in his heart again.
But his jealousy had only reached the halfway point when it was smashed over the head by the overwhelming curses.
Camille was dazed.
Just as he was dazed, an Elephant Beastman appeared out of nowhere, switched forms, and crashed down like Mount Tai.
The moment Camille fainted, he suddenly remembered the meaningful smiles the high-and-mighty noble children had given him when he took this mission.
At the time, he naively thought they were envious of him for getting this honor.
Thinking back now, they weren’t envious; they were clearly mocking him.
Smart people all knew that Marshal Shen was now the “White Moonlight” of the entire Federation.
If the beastmen saw the hero in their hearts being escorted to the Blood Abyss like a prisoner, how could they not be angry?
The person who came up with this idea was simply a fool!
Of course, they were the noble Star Clan of the Upper District, not those fools who had climbed up from the Lower District.
This kind of thankless task was best thrown to them.
Camille was a fool who didn’t understand the twists and turns inside.
But the other beastmen who had entered the Silver Star Cluster were not; they knew very well that escorting Marshal Shen would lead to being despised by thousands, but what could they do?
They had neither background nor connections, so they could only grit their teeth and take the mission.
When Camille was feeling proud, they watched coldly.
Even when that Elephant Beastman lunged, they quietly stepped aside, letting the Elephant Beastman accurately hit Camille.
“Serves him right! Camille is a petty man!”
Not only was he ungrateful for Marshal Shen’s kindness, he even echoed those noble children in insulting Marshal Shen.
If it weren’t for the Silver Star Cluster’s rule against beating colleagues, they would have acted long ago.
Looking at the fainted Camille, the people of the Silver Star Cluster looked at each other and revealed knowing smiles.
The events at the aviation port were still reported to the Chief Executive Kelisi.
The Chief Executive, who looked young and handsome, stared at the light screen.
The scene playing on it was exactly what had happened at the aviation port today.
The Chief Executive’s gaze was fixed on the black tiger in the iron cage, the beast patterns on his face emerging, and his eyes turning dark.
His confidant standing not far away kept his head buried low, not daring to look more.
The riot at the aviation port was suppressed, the shackles on Marshal Shen were removed, and the dissatisfaction in the beastmen’s hearts decreased slightly.
They didn’t dare to get too close either, as Marshal Shen’s Super S fierce beast bloodline was too powerful. They could only watch from afar as Marshal Shen boarded the starship capable of making jumps across billions of light-years.
Watching the starship suspended overhead strike a beam of light, the black tiger was covered by the light and slowly rose.
Among the silent crowd, someone suddenly let out a low sob, which then triggered a wave of suppressed crying around them.
“Safe travels, Marshal!”
Now, they could only say this pale blessing.
The black tiger looked out from the window at the District 13 aviation port below. Hearing the earnest expectations, he thought silently: I will!
The starship locked onto the location of the Blood Abyss and began the space jump.
A star gate appeared in the sky, showing transparent, distorted, and dizzying energy fluctuations.
The energy fluctuations of the star gate unleashed a white light, creating a powerful suction that pulled the massive starship.
In the blink of an eye, the starship was wrapped in white light and disappeared.
The energy fluctuations of the star gate flickered twice and slowly faded.
After the star gate disappeared, the aviation workers who had been guarding near it replaced the energy stones that had already turned to dust.
Opening a star gate for a long-distance space jump required the assistance of a top-grade energy stone.
Top-grade energy stones were rare, with less than a thousand produced in a single mineral vein. Exchanging for one required a million high-grade energy stones.
Fortunately, one top-grade energy stone could be used for a month, and since the orbital track to the Blood Abyss only needed to be opened once a month, the travel costs were within an acceptable range.
Now that Marshal Shen had been sent to the Blood Abyss, everyone had to continue their lives.
The Shen family was the same.
Big Brother Shen was serving on a border star and wouldn’t be back for a while.
Second Sister Shen traveled between home and the Council Building every day, living life step by step.
Shen Number Three was as usual: school, fighting, going home—a boring three-point-one-line school life.
The little cub was eating, sleeping, counting his collection, and planning the things needed for roaming the planet.
Last time the cub’s emotions spiraled out of control for the first time, the head maid A’mei had been nervous for several days and had been keeping a close eye.
Fortunately, the cub’s situation was much better than she had expected, which made her breathe a huge sigh of relief.
Shen Lin had indeed been very crushed the moment he found out Papa was being sent to the Blood Abyss; he had even thought about going with Papa.
In the end, hearing the conversation between Papa and Second Sister dispelled the ideas in his heart.
He was certain Papa’s bloodline berserkization syndrome was cured. As long as Papa didn’t encounter another Mother Insect, the syndrome would not recur.
He was already a mature cub and couldn’t rely on Papa for everything.
The cub didn’t want Papa to think he was an immature cub, nor did he want to be disliked by Papa.
The cub sniffed, sticking out his little butt as he worked hard to count the things he had collected.
Roaming the planet was about to be put on the schedule~
Upon being dropped into the Blood Abyss, Father Shen immediately contacted the people waiting to receive him outside.
As soon as the people from the Silver Star Cluster left, Father Shen was secretly taken away by his people.
The land of the Blood Abyss, also known as the primitive barbaric land, was a taboo for all beastmen in the galaxy.
Although it was called the Blood Abyss, its exterior was thick as ink.
Looking from afar, it was like a black hole that swallowed everything.
The Blood Abyss was also the end of all things; fragments of destroyed waste stars would be pulled here and swallowed by the Blood Abyss.
The Blood Abyss was a place that all beastmen feared; even the star beasts who roamed recklessly didn’t dare to approach it.
The Blood Abyss, which swallowed everything, was like a black spider, weaving a celestial net and occupying a corner of the deep universe, waiting for prey to come to its door.
