4. Go to Emperor Star
Two months later, the survivors registered at the center.
The registrar quickly made a new ID card for Su Liu and said, "Check the information."
Su Liu glanced at it and said, "No mistake."
"You are assigned to B-63 and become a new resident there." The registrar handed her the ring.
This is the empire's exclusive personal optical computer, made in the shape of a silver ring and with a built-in intelligent chip.
Just scan the ring and you can get all of Su Liu's information. It is also her pass to all star regions in the empire, and includes many ancient functions such as mobile phones, computers, bank cards, etc.
Su Liu said, "I want to go to the Imperial Star."
The registrar said without looking up, "I want to go too, but Dixing won't just give someone like me a residence permit. The same goes for you. Next one."
Su Liu was ruthlessly driven out of the center.
The shuttle bus stopped at the entrance of the center and took the survivors to their respective resettlement planets.
Su Liu did not follow the arrangement.
She is going to Emperor Star.
To deliver a letter, to seek revenge.
Then, survive.
Each survivor received a pension of 30,000 star coins, and Su Liu used 20,000 to buy a boat ticket to the Imperial Star.
The spacecraft shuttled rapidly between space channels and arrived at a transfer station outside the Imperial Star a week later. All passengers got off the spacecraft for inspection.
In the cold space transfer station, pedestrians of all kinds are assigned to queue at different windows.
All those who enter the Imperial Star must undergo a strange factor test here and expose their backpacks and luggage for scanning.
Because something unexpected might happen at any time, people become nervous and tense, and they tremble with fear at the slightest disturbance.
This world is not the Earth that Su Liu is familiar with.
When she was 16 years old, she tripped over her left foot and fell to her death. When she opened her eyes, she came to this dangerous world infected by the "strange factor".
It is said that more than a thousand years ago, a star in the universe suddenly exploded, producing an unknown mysterious substance named "strange factor" by scientists, causing the entire earth to mutate.
It is like a virus that can spread disease, making it possible for creatures around the world to be infected.
After being infected, animals and plants will evolve rapidly or revert to their original form, turning into powerful monsters that humans cannot resist. They will then attack humans crazily and snatch away their living space.
Animals infected with strange factors are called strange beasts, and plants are called strange plants.
Their common characteristic is that they carry special cosmic rays when they appear, which render all of humanity's proud thermal weapons ineffective.
It can even absorb nuclear elements and convert them into its own energy to evolve again, and its fertility and vitality are greatly enhanced.
From then on, humans suffered defeat in the battle against alien beasts and plants, but when it came to life and reproduction, humans were not inferior to any other species.
They rose from the ashes in desperate situations, expanding their living space from the earth to the universe. After thousands of years, it evolved into the current cosmic structure.
The K-72 planet where Su Liu originally lived was a low-level planet belonging to the Holy Empire of the Sky. The entire empire was also called the Sky Galaxy and had countless affiliated star fields.
The Imperial Star is the core of the Sky Empire. Whether in technology, military, culture or medical care, it is one of the best in the entire universe.
A place like this will not easily accept ordinary people from other planets.
But Su Liu found a way, which was to enroll in a military school and obtain a temporary residence permit.
After successfully passing the test, Su Liu followed the instructions on the school's official website and came to Platform 9 on the north side of the space transfer station.
A brown-haired boy holding a sign sat on a chair and yawned, while the speaker next to him repeated:
Welcome the 97th batch of freshmen to choose Mahajaya Military School. Please line up here to board the school bus, which will take you directly to the land of your dreams.
The structure of this school bus is very strange. Seven or eight bus carriages are connected together to form a train similar to a subway, but there are no tracks for it to run on.
It was parked alone in front of the platform, with two or three people sitting inside.
Su Liu was a little suspicious, wondering if he had chosen some unknown fake school.
But her purpose was only a temporary residence permit, and the school was not a consideration.
Coming to the brown-haired boy, Su Liu handed over his paper admission notice.
"Hello, senior. I am a freshman in the 97th class of the Planting Department."
The boy drooped his eyelids, glanced at the admission notice, and then pointed listlessly at the school bus behind him.
"Go up, and leave when the seats are full."
Full...
Su Liu looked at the 99% empty seats and felt that it might be a bit difficult.
Sure enough, she took a nap on the train, and when it was dark, there were still at least 30% of the seats in each carriage empty.
Seeing that the school bus had no intention of leaving, Su Liu began to wonder if this was the kind of passenger bus in the countryside that wouldn't leave until it was full.
At this moment, the curly-haired girl sitting next to her gently patted her shoulder.
"Classmate, are you also going to Mahajaya Military School?"
Su Liu thought, aren’t all the people on the school bus students?
Seeing her doubts, the girl added, "Maha is very poor. The school's funds are barely enough to operate. Even the school bus has to be used as a rideshare, so some passengers are just taking it along."
Su Liu understood.
No wonder among the nine military academies of Imperial Star, only Mahajaya has the lowest threshold. You can enter by paying a registration fee and meeting the basic requirements.
"I'm from the Department of Planting, what about you?" she asked.
The girl said, "I'm in the medical department and I want to develop into a healer. You're in the planting department, are you planning to become a purifier?"
Su Liu actually didn’t quite understand.
She just wanted to find a less troublesome way to come to the Imperial Star with a legitimate reason, and she signed up for the Planting Department because she was relatively familiar with it.
"Yeah." She answered casually.
The girl continued, "I really hope to graduate successfully and become an exceptional healer. I heard that if you can join the regular army, the salary is very high. My family was attacked by monsters, and my brothers and sisters are almost starving. I rely on my income. But I don't think the chances of passing the final selection are high..."
At this time, another group of people got on the bus and occupied quite a few seats at once.
The driver got on the bus and counted the number of people. Although it was not full, it was getting late and there was no need to wait any longer.
The school bus finally started and drove towards its destination.
The girl rambled on, "Purification technicians are rare, and only one in a million is qualified. I wish you success in the exam. But even if you don't, being a planter is also good."
Su Liu didn't listen much and just kept looking out the window.
The school bus left the space station via the air track, and after landing, it sped across the vast wilderness.
Along the way, there were large areas of charred land, and several plumes of thick smoke raged between the sky and the earth like a tornado.
Under the gloomy sky, several fighter jets were dropping a combustion inhibitor called "Extinction" into the air to prevent any plants from growing.
Otherwise, the plants that have mutated violently due to the "strange factor" will blow the death horn and take people's lives.
I don’t know how long it took, but the school bus began to slow down and some low city buildings could be vaguely seen around it.
The girl woke up, took out her luggage and asked Su Liu, "I brought some dry food. Do you want to share some?"
Su Liu was distracted, and turned his head to decline, "No, I..."
She saw a black dot appear in the middle of the girl's forehead, like a very small ant, with half of its body sticking out.
Before she could see clearly, the inverted triangle head shrank back again.
