NOVEL WEB Chapter 2: Chapter 2: Blue Star
The man didn't speak. He just silently changed his blood-stained clothes and buried them in a nearby pit. It was obvious that he was someone with extremely rich wilderness survival experience. Yun Mo looked at him. There was a black cloud above his head, but his face looked like he was in his thirties. But when he took off his shirt, she glanced and saw that this person's bone age must not exceed twenty-five. It seemed that he was in disguise. Were human skin masks in this era so powerful? "How can we get out? Can you contact the outside?" Yun Mo asked him. "Don't count on the search and rescue team. You won't survive until they find you," the man said. Yun Mo was choked by the disdain in his words. "Then let's walk out by ourselves?" Yun Mo tentatively asked. There were only the two of them here. She herself didn't seem to have much attacking power. At critical moments, she could even be used as cannon fodder. If it were a normal person, they should also take her along.
"If you can survive until dawn tomorrow, maybe you still have a chance" "Me? What about you?"
"I won't die!" Yun Mo:... This hateful pain of being despised! Soon, she understood what the man meant. This jungle was really too dangerous at night. It was hard for her to imagine that she had walked alone for such a long time without any surprises or dangers. How did she manage to do that? Could it be that she carried great luck? While deep in thought, Yun Mo felt that the black cloud above the man's head seemed to be getting heavier, especially on the left side.
"Be careful, on the left!" She subconsciously shouted. "Slap", the man kicked out, and a heavy impact sound came from behind the not-too-distant tree. "It's a bristle-maned beast. Let's leave here!" Yun Mo knew that this kind of creature was social and similar to hyenas. Once surrounded, with the injuries of the two of them, they would surely die. As the man spoke, he was about to rush into the jungle ahead.
"Don't go that way. Go to the right!" By the light emitted by the intelligent brain and her unique vision, she could feel that if the man moved forward, the black cloud above his head would be even heavier. Perhaps this was the meaning of the turning point. Although she didn't have the ability to continue divination and calculate for herself, but by the density of the black cloud above his head, at least she could judge which way was slightly safer. The man didn't doubt her words. Maybe in his heart, it was the same wherever they went. The bristle-maned beasts were extremely good at hunting. While the two of them were running quickly to the right, many yellow eyes could be seen around. While running, the man observed the terrain. These creatures were extremely fast. If not for being intimidated by his shotgun, they would have rushed up long ago. Yun Mo struggled to keep up with his speed. That big umbrella really played a big role at critical moments. At least it could temporarily block the wild animals that pounced. It could only be said that the interstellar era was really amazing. Everything was made very sturdy.
Yun Mo didn't have enough physical strength, but she could always step on a foothold and just managed to avoid the fierce pounce of the hyenas. The man took the time to look and his eyes turned cold. He conveniently killed the hyena that was biting towards his shoulder. It took them half an hour to subdue the six bristle-maned beasts.
The man stared at Yun Mo with pitch-black pupils and asked in a deep voice, "Which way to go?" Yun Mo was stunned. This person's perception was really strong. "Throw six times!" Yun Mo handed him the buttons and spread out her palm, indicating that he could throw in her hand. Just go for it. If she couldn't calculate for herself, she could calculate for others. The man was skeptical but threw randomly a few times.
"Below Kan and above Xun, Wind over Water, the first line of the hexagram. Using a strong horse to rescue, auspicious" "Find an animal and follow it!" ... The two of them caught a smaller four-cornered beast. They didn't speak along the way. At dawn, they finally heard the buzzing sound of a small spaceship.
"Boss! Is that you?" Yun Mo's head was so dizzy that if it weren't for the desire to survive, she would have collapsed long ago. Hearing the sound, her spirit relaxed and immediately her vision went black and she softly collapsed. When she woke up again, she saw a tidy room, a white bedsheet, and a treatment robot that was repairing her. A fellow patient turned on the video screen. "Early this morning, the Central Federation launched fifteen lethal interstellar missiles at Area Twelve of Blue Star, causing millions of civilian casualties"
"The protective shield of Area Twelve of Blue Star was raised, but not a single missile was successfully intercepted..." The mechanical voice, along with the elegant woman on the big screen, the words she uttered were exceptionally cold.
"Beep..." The intelligent brain on her wrist sounded an urgent prompt, "Brother is calling. Do you want to answer?" Yun Mo raised her hand and connected the video call. A handsome but extremely haggard face appeared on the intelligent brain terminal, "Big... Brother?"
"Yun Mo, did the spaceship you were on have an accident? How are you now?" Yun Feng frowned and asked her. Yun Mo wasn't used to his concern but still subconsciously replied, "It crashed!" "Are you in the hospital?" Yun Feng saw the snow-white wall behind her and frowned as he asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine now" Yun Feng opened his mouth to say something but ultimately held it back. "Brother, has Blue Star been downgraded?" Yun Mo asked. An indescribable sourness welled up in her heart. In the background news, it was repeatedly shown that the eldest brother argued forcefully in the Galactic Council, denounced the unreasonable provocation by the Central Star, and presented a series of evidence that Blue Star had no rebellion.
However, most of the attending representatives shook their heads and left... Heh, weak stars have no diplomacy. Just for the newly discovered mecha energy on Blue Star? Those hypocritical politicians, under the pretext of nonexistent charges, were going to destroy a planet. It was unimaginable that the protective system her father's generation had devoted their entire lives to building couldn't even stop a single interstellar missile. Surely, backwardness leads to being beaten. Yun Mo raised her hand and covered her left chest, whispering almost inaudibly, "Don't worry. Although I didn't intentionally possess your body, I have occupied your life. What you wanted to do, I will help you complete!" After she said this sentence, the sourness in her chest subsided.
"Yun Mo, it's all up to you now." After chatting with her for a few words, Yun Feng hung up the communication gloomily. "Beep..." The intelligent brain sounded again. Yun Mo clicked it open and saw an email from the Federal First Comprehensive University. "Dear student Yun Mo, considering your low level of physical skills and your mental strength not meeting the admission standards of our university, we regret to inform you that you cannot enter the Federal First Comprehensive University..." "Heh", Yun Mo laughed at herself. Didn't she know? When they were still a C-level resource star, they sent so many resources to that university. Let alone allowing her to study there, even if they really sent a few incompetents in, the principal would have to welcome them with a smile. It had just been downgraded to a D-level, and they were in such a hurry to distance themselves? At the same time, in the meeting hall of the Federal First Comprehensive University, there were also different voices.
"Principal, isn't this too arbitrary!" Vice-Principal Wu Gang said. "Arbitrary? With her B-level physique and B-level mental strength, even if she enrolls normally, she may not be able to enter!" "Principal, it's not like that. We have quotas for each planet. Could it be that we don't accept any Blue Star people this year?" Wu Gang's voice was full of disapproval. "Assessment, special recruitment is possible. If they pass, they can come!" "So that others don't say we are showing favoritism. As for how to assess, you all know it after our university has been established for so many years, right?" The principal snorted coldly. The other directors looked at each other. Even if they didn't agree, they couldn't find reasons to refute.
