Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Desolate planet, home?

In just a few days, under Gal's command and Angus's leadership, the area within ten kilometers around the Reda had become a safe zone.

About one-third of the forest beyond the rock formations has also been designated as a safe zone.

The four metal red lanterns were dug out from the soil within the safe zone.

The young soldier pointed to the big hole under his feet and said, "It's right here. Those holes are what I left after I dug out the things."

"Do you know how to use this?" Gal signaled the soldier to take the machine from the blond orc's arms.

"Well, I can use it." The male insect probably didn't know that he was known as a "weapons expert" in his previous team.

Gal's brain was in a mess with all sorts of chaotic thoughts. If these aliens could empathize with him, they would surely be impressed by his strength.

"Hit this hole." The silver-haired male insect pointed at the hole closest to them, without a smile on his handsome face.

These days, it's rare for males to directly command them.

The team composed of space criminals respects strength after all. They have witnessed Angus's strength with their own eyes. This group of guys who roam the universe are more likely to listen to Angus's command.

But this time, the young soldier did not seek Angus's opinion first. He naturally accepted the male insect's orders.

The Anwei 1 is the smallest of all excavators and also has the least destructive power.

Therefore, the cave entrance only went down a dozen meters and did not cause any greater impact.

The probe passes through the hole and goes deeper, and the picture on the screen is the scene beneath the soil.

The probe extended downwards unhindered. Suddenly, the picture shook left and right, as if the probe hit something hard.

Gal held his breath, staring at the screen.

After the probe stabilized again, the image on the screen began to move away from the dark soil.

It turned out that the probe hit a rectangular hard block covered with black soil.

A palm-sized shovel was used to push aside the dirt around the hard object. After the outer layer of hard soil was almost cleaned up, a small brush was used to tackle the soft soil on the surface of the hard object.

A golden, lifelike dragon head with its mouth wide open, holding a reddish-brown brick tile.

This is the beast kiss located above the ancient palace and at both ends of the ridge.

The spine-eating beast in front of us is the one at the top of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City.

Gal recognized it at first sight because he had watched an official documentary about the Forbidden City's architecture.

When talking about the buildings in various halls of the Forbidden City, the host specially introduced the country's largest spine-eating beast, which has guarded the Hall of Supreme Harmony for a hundred years.

Gal stared at the extremely familiar object on the screen with calm eyes.

This desolate planet D81 abandoned by the universe is the Earth, and even the land under his feet is where he has lived for more than 20 years.

A barren planet with no intelligent life?

All civilization has been lost, humans no longer exist, what has happened to the Earth?

When his suspicions were confirmed, Gal seemed calmer than he had imagined.

Instead of crying for his hometown, Gal believes that what he should really do is to find out the reason for human extinction.

Did humans use destructive weapons, causing the extinction of humanity, or did other advanced civilizations invade the earth and destroy the entire planet?

"There are structures underneath. They may be the work of an intelligent civilization that once dominated this planet. Should we continue digging?"

Angus noticed that the stripes on the male insect's forehead were flashing again. He was afraid that the male insect would faint again, so he quickly spoke to divert the male insect's attention.

"If we want to dig out what's buried underneath, we'll probably have to dig up the entire planet."

Gal's voice was very soft, but Angus still heard it.

"What did you say?"

Why does the male insect sound like he is very familiar with this planet?

"Ah, nothing." Gal came back to his senses. He shook his head and raised the corners of his lips with difficulty. "It's just a civilization that was eliminated in the evolution of the universe. Don't worry about it."

Although he said this, Gal's heart felt as if it was cut by a knife.

I don’t know when the collapse of human civilization began. Did it start with the exhaustion of a mineral resource or with a dispute between two countries?

"Okay, fill the hole and go back." Gal looked sadly at the bottomless hole.

The former civilization of the Earth disappeared just like that, and he was the only one who knew about the existence of mankind.

He became the last human being.

Oh, only human in spirit.

Amo, the AI ​​main system on the Galming battleship, locked the four metal red lanterns in the warehouse, locked himself in the room, and did not allow anyone to approach.

Including Angus.

No one knows what the relationship is between the four strange balls and the silver-haired male insect. All we know is that the beautiful lady's good mood was ruined by these four round objects.

The originally relaxed atmosphere on the battleship also fell into silence.

The male insects kept everyone out. During the day and night, the main cabin door was only opened once when the robot Amo delivered nutrients to the male insects.

The blond beastman who had been engraved with a slave contract had not seen his "master" for a long time, and when he had some free time, he would wander around the main cabin door.

Like a large cat in estrus that can't find a female, it's restless.

"That prince hasn't come out yet?" A soldier whispered to his comrade beside him.

"It's been a whole day and night, and there's not a single movement. I don't know what happened inside." The soldier standing next to him replied.

The blond man stood at the front of the room, holding a small stick. On the surface, he was seriously planning the next development plan, but everyone present could feel that the man's heart had already drifted to the battleship's main cabin.

Angus is the king, and kings are often lonely.

When he studied the battle situation day and night in the rear, when he led his troops into the enemy camp, and when a war was over and the soldiers were reunited with their families, he was the only one left in the army.

During these moments, he never felt alone.

In fact, he enjoyed the peace and quiet that came from being alone.

Angus had never experienced what it meant to be attached to a human being, so he attributed his restless and distracted state to the contract he had made with the male insect.

"Your Highness, please ask Mr. Angus to come to your room as soon as possible. Please ask Mr. Angus to come to your room as soon as possible..."

The sound of the battleship's main system spread to every room in the battleship.

A great surprise ran through Angus, and he said, "You guys try to digest the plan I just told you." After saying that, he left everyone in the room where they were.

When Angus arrived at the main cabin, the silver-haired male was sitting huddled in the dark.

The lion's eyes could clearly distinguish everything in the darkness. The moment the male insect raised its head, Angus saw the determination and fortitude in those pale golden peach eyes.

The male insect seemed to have made up his mind.

"Mo, turn on the light."

The room suddenly lit up.

When the lights came on, the male insect's eyes changed, and the toughness was replaced by a look of grievance.

"Angus, I can't sleep. Can you sleep with me for a while?" The male insect pouted, looking very small, and curled up on the edge of the bed.

Only then did Angus notice that the charming face had lost its vitality and was filled with fatigue.

"You won't tell me that you have locked yourself in the room for a whole day and night without any rest?"

Angus moved quickly and sat next to the male insect.

The male insects of the higher-level insect race are weaker than the females. Not getting any sleep for twenty-four full cycles is a fatal thing for the fragile male insects.

Angus reached out his hand, wanting to push the male insect onto the bed for a good sleep.

But the damn contract on his body forced him to stop the moment his hand was about to touch the male insect's body.

"I was just thinking about things and couldn't sleep."

“Ah~~”

The moment the orc sat beside him, sleepiness immediately swept through Gal's mind. Gal yawned loudly and lay down.

The smart environmental control system in the room automatically adjusts the lighting to sleep mode.

Angus couldn't see the silver-haired male's face in this position, so he stood up and tried to turn around and sit down.

The sleepy male insect suddenly perked up. He grabbed the beastman's wrist and said, "Don't leave. Stay with me."

The male insect's eyes reminded Angus of the little beast that was driven out of the warm embrace of the female beast because it was about to reach adulthood.

He was a muscular male beastman, and had nothing to do with the glorious word "motherhood".

But the silver-haired male took the initiative to show his gentle side.

"I won't leave. I'll stay with you. Go to sleep." Angus sat on the edge of the bed and reached back to hold the male insect's slender hand, which was a circle smaller than his.

One day and one night, Gal was alone in the room thinking a lot.

His brain was working at high speed, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he seemed to have returned to the time when his classmates gathered together to complain about the school system.

His ears echoed with his mother's reminders to him not to stay up late, to go to bed early and get up early, and to exercise more. His father called him and asked him if he had enough living expenses.

How could he forget the memories of more than twenty years?

He couldn't understand why fate played such a joke on him.

If he had a choice, he would rather accompany his parents, family and friends to face the coming of a global disaster.

Even though he may suffer greatly.

He tossed and turned in bed, his body exhausted, but he couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

Just then, Gal saw the clothes draped over the back of the chair that were torn by the blond beastman.

The longing for Angus was infinitely magnified in my heart, and a voice in my mind kept shouting, "He needs Angus's company."

The surging anxiety was dissipated when Angus walked up to him.

Lying on the bed, breathing in the unique scent of the blond orc.

Gal felt like he was on a small boat drifting in the center of the Haihe River. The breeze blew and he was swaying with the boat.

Relaxation from mind to body.
