Shadows of the Deep Space Chapter 1864 - 571: Gift of Grace_5

Soon they discovered the remaining personnel, and the Imperial soldiers were frantically sweeping through the houses, shouting excitedly.

"Come out if you don’t want to die!"

"Don’t kill us."

Some leftover civilians timidly emerged from the houses, pleading for mercy.

"Take them all away!"

The Dark Star Empire soldiers displayed bloodthirsty smiles and roughly dragged them away.

"Ah!"

For a moment, desperate screams filled the air.

...

Meanwhile, a squad of soldiers enthusiastically rushed into the street-side commercial shops.

They looked at the silk and high-end clothing displayed on the store counters, shouting excitedly.

"We’re rich!"

They swarmed in to start looting.

Many Dark Star Empire soldiers emerged from the stores carrying all sorts of goods, some even holding automatic washing machines, with various electronic products tied to their bodies with iron chains.

Some soldiers couldn’t carry more and found their sidearms bothersome, so they simply discarded them.

At this moment, a captain walked in, saw his soldiers carrying items, and angrily slapped them on their heads.

"Why are you carrying these?"

"Boss, these things are really valuable."

The excited soldiers replied.

It’s known that the Empire focused on heavy industry, leaving the light industry underdeveloped, making these items incredibly expensive.

"Do you think you can carry them? Put them all on my mecha!"

The captain rudely ordered them.

"Yes."

Although the soldiers were very resentful, they replied obediently.

At this time, in the western plantation area of Frost City.

A group of Imperial soldiers rushed into the plantation, their eyes turning green with excitement as they looked at the apple-laden trees.

"Fruit!"

They pounced like wolves, picking apples and stuffing them into their mouths.

"Delicious, so delicious!"

"I’ve never tasted anything this good in my life."

...

Suddenly, a towering man wearing a second-generation exoskeleton armor walked in, saw the soldiers munching on apples, and angrily roared.

"Stop it now!"

But unfortunately, the soldiers were starving and acted like they didn’t hear the command.

The man then pulled out a large-caliber golden mechanical gun and fired at one of the munching soldiers.

Bam!

The soldier’s head exploded like a watermelon, with a mix of blood and white matter splattering everywhere.

The soldiers on the scene were immediately intimidated, looking fearfully at the man.

"Get lost!"

The man shouted furiously.

Reluctantly, the soldiers dropped their apples and left.

Then the man stepped forward, picked up the half-eaten apple, and started devouring it.

However, before he could finish,

a Major General wearing third-generation exoskeleton armor, with an ugly scar on his face, walked in.

The man was startled, quickly approached with fear, and offered the apple to the general, saying.

"General, have a bite!"

The general snatched the apple and kicked him over, scolding harshly.

"Scram!"

...

At this time, in the starry sky outside Frost Mist Star, behind the Empire’s fleet.

The rear of three Level 5 Battleships·Giant was connected by an ultra-long alloy chain, extending into a huge square metal magic cube.

Countless Imperial soldiers piloted mechas, escorting this weapon.

If observed carefully, it would be seen that the direction of these ships was heading towards the Earth Flame Star defense line.

Xi Guang Laboratory·Private Training Area.

In the polluted biological training cabin, bubbles were rising one after another.

Su Ming lay quietly inside, having persisted for four hours and fifty-five minutes, about to break through five hours.

This was his best performance ever, a qualitative leap compared to his first training session in the polluted biological cabin.

However, Su Ming still felt it wasn’t enough, with a strong desire to become stronger burning inside him.

This was a feeling he never had before; though he used to train, it was more of a carefree attitude.

Just when there was one minute left until five hours, a knocking sound suddenly occurred.

Su Ming opened his eyes, seeing a maintenance robot raise its arm, knocking on the training cabin.

Then the maintenance robot projected the image of Celeste, who exclaimed.

"Su Ming, something’s wrong!"

Poof~

Su Ming was startled and choked on the pollution liquid.

He immediately interrupted the training, opened the polluted biological training cabin, and started coughing violently, then said to Celeste with a darkened expression.

"Celeste, what’s going on?"

"Something bad— the Dark Star Empire is attacking! What should we do?"

Celeste exclaimed dramatically.

"If they’re attacking, they’re attacking. What’s it to you? Didn’t I ask you to repair the ship?"

Su Ming replied wearily.

"I was bored, so I went surfing online."

Celeste tilted her head thoughtfully.

Just as Su Ming was about to reprimand her, his wristband vibrated, and a message popped up.

"Dear Admiral Su Ming, Earth Flame Star is in the highest state of combat readiness. Please return to the Earth Flame Star defense line immediately...."

Su Ming glanced at the message, and his heart sank.

He didn’t expect to be called back so soon; this was trouble, as Ilyas was still undergoing upgrades and modifications.

"What’s the matter with you?"

Seeing Su Ming suddenly fall silent, Celeste curiously asked.

"Summon the information; I need to return to the Earth Flame Star defense line now!"

Su Ming immediately became busy, preparing to rush back to the Earth Flame Star to assess the situation.

"Okay!"

Celeste replied reluctantly.

...

Su Ming quickly returned to the Doomed Light Central Control Room.

Li Menghan saw Su Ming come in and immediately stood up to greet him.

"Lord Su Ming, you’re back."

"Yes, set course immediately to Earth Flame Star’s Cosmic Army Headquarters."

Su Ming said to Li Menghan.

"Yes!"

Li Menghan executed the order immediately.

The Doomed Light swiftly set sail, heading towards the sky.
