"General, this is no man's land, it was just recently updated, why did you come here?"
The bald man was puzzled. Wasn't this a waste of cruising time?
They're really short of money, you know, he needs to get married.
"No man's land? When was this updated? About two weeks ago, I remember there was a small planet about ten light-years away."
Lu Yuanhong turned to look at the bald man.
The bald man was very proud; finally, there was a time when his boss forgot about him.
It's time for him to become a know-it-all.
"Yes, but ten days ago, that small planet was attacked by insectoid beasts and it self-destructed."
"Boss, look at you. Remember to check the data updates more often next time."
After saying that, I applauded myself again with my mental energy, thinking, "I'm really great."
The man with glasses standing to the side looked at him and couldn't help but shake his head.
Sure enough, big pectoral muscles mean no brains!
Lu Yuanhong tapped on the cruise spaceship's control interface.
He frowned.
Now, whenever insect beasts are mentioned, he can't help but feel strange.
The investigation into the last incident was only halfway through when all the leads went cold. Something's fishy going on. It seems I need to tell Grandpa, but he doesn't have the authority.
"Boss, boss, you won't answer when I call you."
Should we turn back?
"No, locate the original position of Blue Star. I want to go and take a look."
"yes."
Although the bald man didn't understand, he still obeyed the order.
Ten light-years is just the distance of two jumps; it's very close.
Looking at the small, shattered planet in front of me, and the floating corpses.
The bald man's eyes were slightly red, and he clenched his fists, looking quite...
"Damn it, I'll kill all these insect beasts sooner or later."
Lu Yuanhong felt a chill run through him, and his voice was low.
"We'll capture these... victims and take them back for a proper burial."
"yes."
Looking at the bewildered expressions on their faces as they died.
Lu Yuanhong's brows furrowed even deeper.
There were too many people, and their expressions weren't right.
The cruise spacecraft carries medical robots that can perform some basic diagnostic and examination procedures.
"Investigate their cause of death."
"yes."
...
"They all died from lack of oxygen on the planet."
Sure enough, there was a problem.
"Glasses, go check who updated this information about the insect beast."
The bald man touched his head. "Isn't it normal for a planet to self-destruct and die from lack of oxygen?"
Why do we need to investigate?
I was just about to ask.
Then I found a hand holding my foot.
"Wow! Boss, there's a ghost!"
Lu Yuanhong: ...
"Get off me, immediately, right now."
Looking wronged and pitiful, she hid behind Lu Yuanhong.
"Boss, there really is a ghost!"
But then they heard the medical robot speak in a cold, formulaic voice.
"Signs of life detected, continue treatment."
Bald man: This is really awkward.
"Boss, this planet has been extinct for so long, how is he still alive?"
"That's amazing!"
"Well, so here's a chance for you to get a close look at his impressive skills. Move him back to the treatment pod."
The bald man was so frightened that he kept turning his neck.
Boss, I was wrong. I know you're a germaphobe. I didn't mean it.
I'm timid.
But after saying these words to himself, the bald man closed his eyes without hesitation, picked up a corpse, and prepared to run.
"You've got the wrong boy; it's the one below."
"Boss, boohoo!"
(┯_┯)
The bald man was on the verge of tears.
All that could be heard was the cold, ruthless voice of their boss, as cold as autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, devoid of even the slightest bit of sympathy.
"Overcome your fear and move."
"yes."
The bald man forced himself to open his eyes wide and struggled to pull out the boy who had been rescued and buried under the corpse.
But then a pair of red eyes suddenly opened.
He stared straight at himself.
"Wow! Mommy!"
