Chapter 318 Star Legend 19
People on the Planet of Destruction have been feeling restless recently, probably because in a few days the space crack will open again and those terrifying man-eating monsters will start killing people. As the planet closest to the crack, it is now full of stationed troops.
As for where the civilians went, you can tell from the name of the planet. In the past, the planet had a quiet environment and a suitable temperature, and countless people spent a lot of money to move here.
But a thousand years ago, interstellar monsters suddenly appeared and ate all the people on the planet. Even those who had finally boarded the spaceship to escape were intercepted by them and emptied out.
By the time the alliance army paid a huge price to eliminate the dozen monsters, the originally beautiful planet had become riddled with holes. Even if these could be repaired, no one was willing to live in this nightmare place again.
If it hadn't been discovered later that the interstellar monsters would return regularly, this planet would probably have been abandoned by the alliance. Now it has become a military base, and its beautiful name has been changed to the lifeless word "Destruction".
The troops stationed here also belong to the Third Army. Without General Xiao, the commander-in-chief, the atmosphere of this army is far inferior to that of the previous one.
Under the reality that someone will soon be sacrificed, the atmosphere of depression spread silently in the army. Most of the people coming and going looked lifeless, more like prisoners than soldiers.
At this time, a spaceship suddenly came to bring some life to the army, but when they learned that they were here to deliver new weapons, the soldiers just said "Oh" faintly.
It's not that the so-called new weapons have not been delivered before, but each time they are just a change of soup but not the medicine. They sound awesome, but their lethality against interstellar monsters is basically zero.
After being disappointed several times, the veterans no longer expect it. Instead of sending useless weapons, it's better to bring them some delicious food and drinks so that they can enjoy enough these days and then set off.
The new recruits are still interested in going over to take a look, but they can't see anything with their eyesight. They feel that there is no difference from before, and they are immediately disappointed.
After they came back and said that, the atmosphere in the army became even worse.
Fortunately, the heroic education of the alliance was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even though they knew that they would most likely die after going up, no one retreated, and they all went to the battlefield generously with the determination to die.
This time, the time for the space crack to appear was delayed by one day. Before everyone had time to be thankful that they had lived another day, they despairingly discovered that there were more interstellar monsters coming this time than in any previous times.
There were nearly forty tall monsters. With their current strength, if they were lucky, both sides could die together. If they were unlucky, even if they died, they could not stop these beasts from breaking through the defense line and going to the human territory to plunder.
The general of the army was also desperate, but as the commander, he knew that he could not panic, so he could only try to appease the people: "Everyone try their best to hold them back. I have sent a distress message. As long as we hold them back until the reinforcements come, we still have a chance!"
However, he knew that he was lying. It would take three days for the nearest garrison to arrive. Facing interstellar monsters that were several times more than expected, it would be good to be able to hold on for a day with the team's personnel configuration.
The Star of Destruction could no longer be defended. He only hoped to kill a few more monsters before he died, so that fewer monsters would wreak havoc in the human world and fewer new Stars of Destruction would appear.
However, this kind of words could deceive brainless people and ignorant recruits. Those with a little more flexible minds could guess that the situation was extremely grim. However, escaping at this time would also mean death, so it would be better to risk one's life. Even if these beasts could not be killed, it would be good to leave some wounds on them and cause some interference.
Jiang Quan was an old soldier who clearly understood his situation. After the general gave an order, he first took out his ion gun and shot a burst of shots, regardless of whether he hit or not, and then prepared to rush forward with a laser sword.
However, he was grabbed by the collar and pulled back after rushing out more than ten steps. He slapped him with his backhand and said angrily, "What are you doing?" He was actually stopped from dying. It was better to die early and be reborn early at this time, so as to avoid psychological torture.
The man was not willing to be outdone, so he slapped back and motioned him to look at the battlefield: "Look for yourself."
Jiang Quan touched his head and turned around impatiently, and then he was stunned. Those interstellar beasts with rough skin and flesh used to have to use water grinding skills to shoot countless guns and cannons at the same place to make wounds on them, and then slowly expand and grind them to death.
This was only the first round of attack, and these big guys were beaten to pieces, and their bodies became black and bloody. The beasts that were so arrogant before let out painful howls.
In fact, it was not just the human soldiers who were confused, but the monsters were also confused. The one who was shrinking at the back had come through the space crack several times. He was smarter than his kind and knew how to control his appetite. Every time he had a full meal, he would retreat unscathed.
Unlike those companions who came with it, because of greed, they chased farther and farther, and finally got entangled and slowly grinded to death by those things they looked down on.
But it was good this way. With them blocking in front, the food's counterattacks rarely hit me. Although it didn't hurt much when it hit my skin, it was still annoying.
The more ferocious the companions acted, the more attention they attracted, and no one cared about me. Not only could I eat two more when I had time, but I could also retreat leisurely when I saw that the situation was not going well.
So it was happy to share this space crack, and every time it would ask this beast to come with it and act as a shield in front. This time, the news was accidentally leaked, and many more beasts came than usual.
However, it didn't care too much. According to its experience, there were many two-legged beasts, and it was not so easy to be eaten to extinction. At most, it would bring less next time and let them rest.
The clever monster thought so, but it didn't expect to be hit head-on as soon as it jumped out, because it had told its companions that the opponent's weapons were useless to it, and no one blocked or dodged, so it was beaten to pieces.
"Roar! You said their attacks can't hurt us!"
"Ah! Did you deliberately trick us into coming here to die? You idiot!"
"It seems that the beasts that followed it before never showed up again. We were really fooled!"
The demon beast no longer cared about the accusations of its companions. Its brain, which was slightly faster than its peers, made it realize that something was wrong. Fortunately, it always walked at the back. At this time, it immediately turned around and ran towards the space crack, thinking that it would be safe as long as it got in.
However, the human reaction was even faster than it. Almost as soon as it found that the weapon was effective, the general immediately ordered people to encircle the rear. In the past, these beasts were rampant against them, but now it was their turn to hunt them.
This was probably the most exciting battle between humans and interstellar beasts in thousands of years. The new weapons were no longer almost useless like before. Every time they fell on their bodies, they would cause a wound.
Then the soldiers realized that these beasts would feel pain and fear. When their lives were threatened, they would still run away with their tails between their legs, just like stray dogs.
The identities of prey and predator were exchanged, and the human side was in high spirits. Even if some people were unfortunately killed by the beasts, they no longer felt discouraged, but were aroused to fight.
Kill, kill, kill! Revenge for the countless dead companions!
In the end, all 37 interstellar beasts were annihilated, and the casualties of human soldiers were negligible compared to before. When the news was passed back to the military, all the soldiers were shocked, and some even couldn't help but shed tears.
After a thousand years of fighting against it, I don't know how many human elites died on the battlefield. Each of them had relatives and friends who sacrificed their lives for this. Now the shadow that has troubled humans for many years is finally going to dissipate.
The research institute soon received the full support of the alliance. They gave them funds, people, and materials. No matter what they wanted, they gave the green light all the way, in order to produce this weapon as soon as possible and equip every garrisoned army.
So for the next period of time, Chen was almost busy, and Yang Yan, who should have retired after success, was also captured and accompanied him busy for a moment.
However, his efforts were rewarded. Chen did not take credit for himself and reported truthfully that he was the main contributor to the successful development of the new weapon. The Alliance awarded him a special merit medal, a large bonus, and a considerable monthly allowance.
Basically, if he wanted to retire now, he could live a wealthy life in the second half of his life. Moreover, as the garrisons in various places used new weapons, the interstellar beasts were defeated and could no longer be a threat to humans.
As the main developer, Yang Yan's name spread and he was worshipped by countless people as a human hero. It was almost impossible for anyone to embarrass him openly at this time.
After knowing this, Wei's father was furious at home again. Wei's mother cried and cursed, and threatened her husband with the handle to find a way to get rid of Si Yangyan and "avenge" her son.
Wei's father was furious, but he had to accept her threat. While comforting her, he really went to the dark web to contact the killer.
However, they did not expect that the nanny at home accidentally heard their conspiracy and learned that they had actually killed the hero who developed new weapons and saved countless people. She angrily reported them.
So Wei's father had just negotiated a deal with the killer and transferred the deposit, but he was arrested in the next moment. With the evidence, he could not escape the charge.
But unexpectedly, the person he wanted to kill was not Yang Yan, but Wei's mother. It turned out that he knew that Yang Yan must be a key protected person now. First, it was not easy to succeed, and second, even if he succeeded, he would be strictly investigated. It would be easier to kill the person who threatened him.
After Wei's mother knew about this, she was furious and turned around to reveal his secrets for many years. What about abusing power for personal gain, accepting bribes, keeping mistresses and raising illegitimate children were all trivial matters.
In short, after the trial, Wei's father will never get out of prison, and Wei's mother didn't end up well either. Although she was considered a victim, she threatened Wei's father and attempted to murder the human hero.
In the end, Wei's mother was sentenced to ten years in prison, which seemed not heavy, but because of what Wei's father did, her family's property was confiscated, and in the end, almost nothing was left.
Her relatives also cut off ties with her after learning what she had done. When she gets out, she will probably have to run around for a living all day, and she will no longer be able to take out her anger on others because of her son's death.
Yang Yan only found out about this after everything was settled. How can I say it at the time? My mood was quite complicated.
Wei Cang's death was indeed related to him, but he reaped the fruits of his own labor, but the couple convicted him without any evidence and only based on speculation, and they really tried to attack him.
If it were an ordinary person, I'm afraid he would really be punished by them. Now it can only be said that it's a tit-for-tat!
