Chapter 269: Choosing a Planet

Freezing isn't scary, but freezing the people, fish, shrimp, and crabs inside to the surface is truly terrifying! The man was so frightened that he forgot to cycle his abilities and never stood up again.

A few high-level awakeners finally ran to the spaceship parking area. The spaceship's defense functions were good and looked relatively intact. They each found their own spaceship and hurried to open the hatch.

When he found that the hatch was frozen solid, he was so angry that he almost gave up, but he quickly regained his composure.

Everyone gathered together to find the best-performing spaceship, smashed the hatch open with force, and escaped on board.

But the price was high. The damaged hatch directly caused the temperature inside the spacecraft to drop sharply, and one piece of high-level energy could not last for more than ten minutes.

They tried to seal the tiny crack in the hatch, but no matter what materials they used, it was in vain. However, the energy stone was consumed at an increasingly rapid rate.

One of the gold-type mutants was indignant, and immediately condensed a metal plate in his right hand, which was only slightly larger than his palm and could not be moved.

Then, a layer of ice covered my hands.

"Ah!" The gold-type mutant with horror retracted his external superpowers and tried to mobilize them to turn them into ice. However, the ice not only did not move, but also spread towards his arms.

The gold-type mutant kept mobilizing his powers, but it was no use. Seeing that the ice was about to spread to his shoulders, he cut off his arm in desperation.

"Ah——" He stuffed the hemostatic pill into his mouth tremblingly, and suddenly felt his left hand was cold. He quickly grabbed a few handfuls of it near his mouth, and saw that it was full of ice chips.

The gold-type psychic's eyes widened in disbelief, and then... they couldn't close, completely frozen. Neck, chest, waist...

I will never know why this happened until I die.

The others watched in horror, never daring to use their powers again. The energy stones were being consumed at an increasingly rapid rate, from ten minutes previously to less than two.

They did not dare to delay and started the spacecraft immediately, but the spacecraft kept reminding them over and over again that the hatch was faulty and could not be started.

So, the question comes back to the question of fixing the hatch first.

Everyone was suddenly in despair, but extremely unwilling to give up. After discussing it, they decided to change the spaceship.

The moment the hatch was opened, a biting cold air swept in. Even though the people on board were prepared, they were unable to withstand it and were frozen instantly.

Weiyang Star was frozen overnight, leaving no one alive. The rescue team's spaceship was frozen before it could even get close, leaving them with no choice but to give up.

Yun Xiang was extremely relieved when they found out.

Those who came back with Yun Xiang and the others felt like they had survived a disaster, and began to inquire about the Xiangyang Mercenary Group.

The Xiangyang Mercenary Group became famous overnight, and there were so many people joining that they were overwhelmed.

Not long after Weiyang Star fell, another level three dangerous planet fell, and the atmosphere of the entire Imperial Star immediately became tense.

Regardless of the danger, hunting teams from various families and mercenary groups raised resources and went on missions continuously.

Yun Xiang, Xie Yu, and the others graduated in this atmosphere. You Hao and the others also graduated, and the teachers at Water Planet were overjoyed. They had finally seen them off!

After graduation, Yun Xiang quit his job in the law enforcement team and devoted himself to carrying out missions with his own mercenary group.

Although Cui Jin felt sorry, he did not insist on keeping her.

Suga Min, Qiao Mai and others also graduated successfully. As Lin Huanxu expected, Lin Junfei failed to pass the professional knowledge test and could not graduate, so she chose to repeat the year.

Without Bai Yan, Xie Yuxin paid more attention in class and unexpectedly graduated with a low score. This was truly impressive.

Then the tail lifted up again.

Tang Jing schemed and schemed, but ended up repeating a grade along with Concubine Lin. Naturally, she was scolded by Tang Ru. Now that she had no one to lean on, she had to endure it even if she couldn't.

Now that the affairs of the academy have come to an end, Yun wants them to devote themselves to the mission and accumulate capital.

Soon, two years passed.

The millennium of catastrophe had arrived, yet no major changes had occurred. It seemed as if everything that had come before was a prank. Yet, humanity dared not relax even a little, and continued to make meticulous preparations.

"Sister Yun, according to your requirements, I'm afraid no planet meets the requirements." Li Zixi looked at Yun Xiang helplessly.

They were currently selecting planets to purchase. Many planets had fallen in the past two years, some high-level and some low-level, so they had to choose carefully.

Yun Xiang felt a little embarrassed. She actually just wanted to choose a planet similar to Earth, but she didn't expect that there was no planet that met the requirements given the current planetary environment.

She was also helpless, alas...

"Isn't it a bit early for you to choose?" Lin Ziyu looked puzzled. They were discussing the location of the mission, so how did they get to the point of buying a planet?

Since the fall of the three-star Comet, the places where they can go on missions have been greatly reduced, and the supplies they harvest are not as good as before.

On the contrary, my StarCraft Contribution Points were rising steadily due to my frequent participation in rescue missions. That was a consolation, I guess.

Even so, if you want to buy a planet, it will probably take at least three to five years.

"We should prepare now so that we don't get caught off guard later."

"What if someone else buys the one you choose first or it falls through the cracks? Don't you have to choose again?"

What she said was well-founded. In the past two years, interstellar contribution values ​​had increased rapidly, and many large families were scrambling to purchase planets and expand their territories.

"...We can choose a few more as backup." Sister, we can't say we're not doing it before we even start.

Lin Ziyu wanted to say, "We've been discussing this for so long, and we still can't decide on a single one. How many more do you want to choose?" But she held back, deciding not to undermine everyone's confidence.

"Actually, I thought of a planet, but... it's not very easy to take over." Zhao Tianshuo was immediately stuck when he saw everyone's eyes were on him.

"Boy, which planet? Tell me, how difficult is it?" Tengchong stretched out his arms and put his arms around Zhao Tianshuo's neck.

"Ahem, Brother Teng! Let...let go." Zhao Tianshuo tried his best to pry his hands apart.

Tengchong seemed to have just reacted, and mercifully let him go, and shamelessly said, "You are too weak."

Huhu, this is strangling him to death. Zhao Tianshuo rolled his eyes and protested silently.

Tengchong suddenly became excited again. Just as he was about to move, his shoulders suddenly felt heavy. He immediately turned around and saw Xie Yu looking at him with a smile.

Wow! Tengchong immediately became obedient. Xie Yu's methods of playing tricks on people had become increasingly sophisticated over the past two years, and he didn't dare to offend him easily.

"Which planet?" Xie Yu looked at Zhao Tianshuo seriously. Xie Yu always paid attention to what Yun thought.

Zhao Tianshuo was successfully rescued and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Falling star!" Zhao Tianshuo said, looking at everyone with his round eyes.

He and his master had done a lot of research on the planting environments of various planets. When Sister Yun said that, the image of the fallen planet immediately appeared in his mind.

Falling stars! Everyone was silent.

Regardless of how chaotic Falling Star was, it was widely acknowledged to be Five Coins' territory. While it was unclear why Five Coins had been reluctant to purchase Falling Star, no one dared to actually compete with them.

They have a good relationship with Wuqian and are often taken care of by him. They will definitely not compete with him.

Yun Xiang didn't hesitate much and said, "Change to something else."

Just as everyone was about to agree, they heard that the Wuqian brothers had arrived, and they suddenly felt guilty. Speak of the devil, and he will appear.

Everyone calmed down and invited the person in immediately.

As soon as Qian Zedong entered the room, he sat down carelessly and asked casually, "What did you discuss?"

The atmosphere suddenly became stagnant.
