Chapter 47 Mission Date
The wind blew across the wilderness, and the few plants shrunk in the wind. The air had a dry smell filled with sulfide.
Snap!
Su Xi threw away the tailbone of the wild horned lizard in her hand, then shook her hands vigorously, and the liquid silver insect armor quickly retreated back to the shape of a silver bracelet with her movement.
She was now standing on a relatively high mound, looking around.
The oxygen in the air was very thin, and she needed to breathe harder to maintain normal oxygen intake. She took two deep breaths to let her lungs adapt to the slightly spicy air.
Su Xi looked up at the sky filled with lead-gray clouds. She vaguely knew that she had fallen from a high altitude. But she had no memory of the earlier experience. When she tried to recall it, it seemed that the pain of falling into the wormhole and being torn apart by space was still lingering. When she woke up, she met the scarlet eyes of the wild horned lizard.
Fortunately, the crystal earrings received Xiguang's guidance in time, and she fought back immediately!
safe and sound.
Facing the afterglow of the white dwarf reflected from the edge of the wilderness, Su Xi spread out her five fingers and carefully examined her hands over and over again. The familiar palm lines were still there, but the tiny scars left over from the gene 'collapse-repair' cycle caused by the impact on the 'mental threshold' were gone.
Moreover, her frail body seemed to be stronger and more solid than before. Whether it was speed or strength... She clenched her fists, recalling the feeling of pulling out the bent bone needle from the horned lizard.
Not only that.
She looked at the light-colored mental power flowing through her fingertips, the energy fluctuations were crystal clear, with very fine golden sand flowing within them...had her mental power inexplicably advanced?
And more abundant and stable.
The precision of control has also been improved.
Su Xi's mind moved slightly, and the thin and soft liquid silver bracelet was instantly activated, splitting into very fine silver chains that lightly wrapped around her hand movements and danced beautifully on her slender fingertips.
She was sure that she had never seen such a liquid silver worm bracelet before she fell into the wormhole.
But she knew very clearly that this was a kind of 'liquid silver' insect armor substance forged by mental power?
No memory, but instinctive cognition?
Not only that, but the equipment on my body was very different, and my body felt more stable and solid after my mental power was upgraded... Even the dark insect armor seemed to have developed a new "devouring" ability compared to when I first acquired it...
And Hee-Kwang's appearance is also completely different!
Frowning slightly, she immediately realized that there were too many differences, as if a special experience had been erased from her memory.
Is it because of traveling through a wormhole?
Also, did the mercenary named Howl who fell into the wormhole with her survive like her?
Although she didn't want to admit it, he gave her a vague, yet familiar feeling -
never mind!
Since she was safe, she shouldn't have to worry about such a strong man. Subconsciously, she was very sure of his safety, even a little sad?
There is no point in thinking too much, Su Xi shook her head vigorously!
Putting those messy thoughts out of her mind, she told herself that the first thing to do was to figure out the current situation.
Click - a slight friction sound, she looked towards the place where the sound came from.
A half-height cylindrical robot was scanning the dying wild horned lizard's data and collecting some kind of substance by hammering around.
"Xiguang?" She called out in confusion.
The robotic arm that was sorting the materials paused for a moment. The half-height cylindrical robot shook its tall rabbit-ear signal device and uttered Xiguang's childish voice from its abdomen: "Hey! Sister, wait a minute~~ Xiguang will finish scanning and sorting soon!"
"Okay! I'll wait for you."
Hearing the familiar voice, Su Xi's doubtful mood was immediately calmed down.
"Don't come out. Just stay in that new space bubble and don't move! The air quality here is not high."
"We have a 5% error from the predicted time and space landing coordinates. It will take about seven hours to receive the signal from the special rescue team..."
"There is too little data about the planet BV-32II in the database. I need on-site sampling to model the evolution of this 'life circle' so that we can determine the potential danger level of this planet!"
Xiguang was explaining while working.
Roar—Ah, ah—
The wild horned lizard, tightly bound by the dark beetle, could only lie on its side on the dry land after struggling in vain. It raised its head slightly towards Su Xi and let out a few low howls to show its weakness.
Su Xi walked over and tried to communicate with the dark liquid armor to loosen the wild horned lizard's binding, but it was not very smooth. Although this dark armor substance did not resist Su Xi's mental control, this newly evolved ability seemed more like an "instinct" of organic matter for energy needs.
This feeling... is like grabbing the tail of the dog at home to stop it from chewing the bone when it is extremely hungry?
Su Xi was stunned for a moment, and found her absurd association a little funny. According to the common sense of this star, there is no such substance.
She looked closely and saw that the dark insect armor was emitting wisps of black gas, almost visibly to the naked eye. It was the black gas that was desperately devouring some kind of energy from the wild horned lizard, and it made a slight sizzling sound.
Roar—Ah, ah—
The wild horned lizard submissively pressed its long horns against her hand. Su Xi felt the slight bioelectric waves transmitted from the hard and smooth horns.
The mental fluctuations that can be transmitted by lower-level creatures that have not yet awakened their intelligence are the most instinctive emotions: joy, fear, terror and submission.
Combined with the look the wild horned lizard gave her, Su Xi understood instantly.
This means - 'Requesting taming'?

The time flow ratio between the planet BV-32II in the Great Wilderness Star Region and the first fortress on the edge of the Alpha Galaxy is 1:5.2.
Therefore, within the one hour and twenty minutes after Su Xi was spit out of the wormhole, Chris had already completed the mission call and various preparations before departure.
now.
First Fortress. Simulated War Room.
Chris is giving a brief summary of the rescue mission to the eight-man team he has just assembled.
"This mission has a C4 danger level and an S5 confidentiality level. The galaxy coordinates are 228.3509.793. The specific location is a rocky planet codenamed BV-32II in the Great Wilderness Star Region."
"The target of the rescue is an Imperial citizen. The background information of the mission has been sent to your terminal."
"Mary is responsible for your signature and reading of the confidential information."
"Due to the special nature of the mission, there is a high possibility that we will be separated for search and rescue. If you have any questions after reading the background information, you will have five minutes to ask them."
Chris finished his speech briefly and glanced at the six carefully selected elite alphas, waiting for their questions.
"Boss, why do you need to summon all the elites of the Eagle Squad for a dangerous C4 mission? There must be something special. Can you tell me?" A male alpha with short blue spiky hair said lazily, "I'm still on paternity leave! This morning my little O cried and wouldn't let me leave... Alas! There's nothing I can do about her charm!"
He shrugged helplessly, showing off an embarrassed expression.
However, people are tough and cannot be torn apart.
"Oh! She is indeed very charming!" Mary, who was handing out documents and checking confidentiality signatures one by one, sneered, "Who is so charming that he was kicked out last night and begged me to take him in for one night?"
"My Locke has been on the phone for almost an hour," Mary, who happened to be beside him, threw a special folder on the blue-haired alpha's head with great resentment, "I spent the whole night listening to someone's little O saying that the family's milk powder money was lost in gambling! If my kid grows up and gambles, I will definitely come to your door!"
"Ahem! That—" Caught off guard, the blue-haired alpha touched his nose in embarrassment, "I just had bad luck!"
"Hahaha!"
"Pfft!"
"Rambo, stop explaining!"
The others burst into laughter. For these special forces who had fought for the Empire, the danger level of C4 was almost equivalent to a trip to the vegetable market, so Chris did not stop them from making this short joke.
"Although the risk level of this mission is only C4, the contribution points are awarded according to the S5 confidentiality level." Chris also smiled faintly and said, "In addition, there are contribution points for private sponsorship."
"Take a good look at the information!" Mary added after sending out the last copy, "After you finish this order, you can take three times as long on your next paternity leave!"
"It's great! Don't say that I don't take care of you guys in the future!"
The other six people smiled and looked down at the details of this special 'read and burn' document.
This is a special kind of paper used exclusively for espionage, printed with an inkjet that can only display information text when stimulated by the mind. After it senses that the data recipient has finished reading, all images and text will disappear, will not be archived in the system, and will not be seen by anyone other than the designated reader.
After reading the information, except for Mary, the other six people looked at each other in shock.
The relaxed atmosphere is gone, and the simulated operations room is filled with the seriousness and solemnity of facing a super S-level mission!
"Okay, let's not talk business any more." Chris saw that everyone had understood the whole situation, and his expression became serious: "C4 is dangerous, but there are three targets. The only one that can be publicly saved is the second civil rescue target. I will only say this once! This mission! Whether you are asleep or awake, shut your mouth!"
"Yes!" Everyone stood up in silence, the alpha's condensed pheromones spread in the small combat room, but Chris did not feel the slightest bit uncomfortable like Nadel.
"The last goal is worth your life to defend, so as not to dishonor the honor that the imperial soldiers wear on the military emblem!"
"Do you understand?!" After hearing this, Chris stood up, leaned forward slightly and shouted loudly!
A strong pressure that was no weaker than the alpha signal emanated from the operations room.
"Understood!" Everyone answered in unison, responding with a standard military salute!
"Okay, as for how to complete the first mission objective, I believe you have all been looking forward to it for a long time." Chris smiled bloodthirstyly and said slowly, "I won't go into details. Mary will be in charge of the whole process. Everyone, act according to circumstances and remember to handle it cleanly!"
Everyone looked at each other and nodded in tacit understanding.
"As for the second mission objective," Chris opened the holographic map, "I need to make a special explanation."
An omega girl with a petite figure, beautiful and delicate features appeared in front of the group of alpha special forces from the Eagle Squad.
A three-dimensional full-body image simulated by AI, at the same height as a real person, slowly rotates on the projector disk.
At the same time, information related to this omega is also projected onto the instrument display area.
…
Name: Su Xi (formerly known as 'Naya')
Gender: Female omega
Bone age: 37
Ability: Psychic power 'beginner' (intermediate), rare species reserve (80%)
…
Chris added in a serious tone: "This is the target of this civil rescue. On my own behalf, I ask you to do your best to handle this rescue mission."

On the unknown planet numbered BV-32II, Su Xi didn't know that she was being taken good care of by her 'big sister' Chris, with whom she had only communicated via video a few times.
At the same time, with her extremely friendly and delicate appearance, she gained a +7 favorability rating from passers-by.
By virtue of the special performance in the 'Ability' column of the personal attribute, passers-by's surprise degree +7 and curiosity degree x100 are obtained.
Now Su Xi is worried about how to deal with the sudden change of nature.
Over the wilderness, clouds were gathering very quickly.
From the visual perspective, it was just a few gusts of wind, and then the lead-gray clouds rolled in, and even the colorful aurora at the edge of the horizon became volatile and dim.
Snap, snap, snap——
It's raining.
"Ding - detection and analysis completed, sulfide exceeds the standard, harmful substances exceed the standard... Please enter the barrier immediately."
"Sister!" Xiguang's childish voice rang out, calling and pulling Suxi, who was only wearing a protective awning and not caring about being exposed, to enter the shelter.
Amid the rain, a transparent mushroom-shaped safe house was built.
The corrosive raindrops hit the ground with a sizzling sound, and a light mist floated on the ground. Standing in the warm and dry safe house, listening to the sound of the raindrops and looking out through the transparent barrier, an extremely beautiful and romantic scene was revealed.
At this time, in this wasteland located in the 'life circle' of planet BV-32II, due to the light obstruction of the scattered matter from the outer shell of the white dwarf, the planetary wasteland, which originally had no concept of sunrise and sunset, now presents a feeling of approaching evening, and the colorful aurora at the edge of the horizon appears increasingly hazy in the rain and fog.
But in this completely safe state, Su Xi, holding the hot milk tea prepared by Xi Guang,
She was caught in a dilemma between 'natural law' and 'human morality'.
"Hee-gwang," Su-hee asked seriously, "Is it really impossible for me to do that?"
"cannot!"
Xiguang's childish voice was more serious and stern than ever before.
