Hyberian Wars Chronicles

"Warning, the driver's mental pollution has reached a dangerous level."

"Quick, stop it." Anlysi felt herself becoming somewhat hysterical.

"At this rate, the driver will lose their human will," the adjutant beside her said in fear.

"Experiment halted! Cut off the circuit!" Anlysi shouted loudly.

"Yes."

The personnel at the control panels immediately reacted, inputting the disconnection commands.

"No, there's no response."

"No signal, disconnection failed."

"Alarm, high-energy Higgs particle reaction detected! (Note: Energy reaction of the strange creature)"

"Alarm, high-energy Higgs particle reaction detected! (Note: Energy reaction of the strange creature)"

Everyone was completely shocked. Anlysi heard the alert and immediately rushed to the screen, staring at the experimental machine.

"Could it be?"

Anlysi couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hand, tears sliding down from the corners of her eyes.

Suddenly, the experimental machine let out a terrifying roar, and a pair of crimson eyes opened wide.

Then came a violent explosion.

Anlysi felt her entire body lose strength and collapsed onto the ground.

At this moment, the gloomy man calmly spoke, "Shut down all gate passages. From now on, all command authority will be transferred to the STP department for operational command."

The people beside him looked at the gloomy man in disbelief.

"Minister, do you mean...?"

"From now on, the combat department will take over."

At the entrance of Area E, Qianlong leaned against the metallic wall of the passage, raising his hand to check the time on his wristband; it had already been over five minutes.

In the distance, a figure hurriedly ran over.

"Sorry for being late." Kromi ran up to Qianlong, panting heavily.

"What happened?"

"Nothing, I just realized I forgot to bring my tools when I left." Kromi gasped for breath, carrying a thick backpack on his back.

"Sometimes I really doubt what your job actually is," Qianlong said calmly.

"Why do you think that?" Kromi was also surprised to receive such a response.

"It's nothing, just a feeling. Why did you call me over? What part-time job is this?" Qianlong looked up at Kromi.

Kromi revealed a meaningful smile and said, "This is an unparalleled job, and the rewards are absolutely rich."

Qianlong looked at Kromi with a strange expression, wondering why he felt so odd.

Moments later, Qianlong followed Kromi into Area E, arriving at a lush green planting area.

The green vegetables looked very comfortable from a distance.

"What do we need to do?" Qianlong asked.

Kromi stretched his muscles and said, "Very simple, catch bugs."

Qianlong was taken aback, looking at Kromi in confusion. What kind of job is this? "This is a purely natural planting area; everything is done manually, so naturally, catching bugs is also done by hand. By the way, remember to put the bugs into the special collection container. These bugs are quite valuable; they are specifically released to make high-energy protein powder." Kromi picked up a container from beside him and handed it to Qianlong.

Qianlong took it and looked at Kromi, saying, "Haven't you been doing this job for a while?"

"He hasn't been doing it for long; he still has many days to work to pay off his debt." An old woman in gray clothing walked over from behind.

Kromi scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, "No need to expose me like that; I just took some vegetables."

The old woman approached Qianlong and said, "Are you Kromi's friend?"

"Yes," Qianlong replied.

"Hmm, once you finish this job, that basket of vegetables will be yours." The old woman pointed to a nearby basket full of vegetables.

Qianlong nodded in good spirits and replied, "Thank you."

Bonnie then praised, "Not bad, much more polite than Kromi."

Kromi's expression turned awkward.

At this moment, the planting workers passing by all laughed and shouted at Kromi, "Kromi, you've been scolded by Grandma Bonnie again."

Kromi replied, "Don't say that."

"Big brother."

A tender voice called out, and Qianlong turned around to look in the direction of the sound.

He saw Dore waving her small hand at him from a distance, with her mother smiling beside her. Both of them were carrying iron buckets, and Qianlong also spotted many familiar faces; they were all residents of Area F, likely arranged by Kromi.

"Do a good job, young man." After Bonnie finished speaking, she slowly walked towards another planting area.

Kromi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Are you nervous?" Qianlong asked with a smile.

Kromi coughed a few times, "Not at all. Let's get to work; we can have a good meal tonight."

Qianlong nodded in agreement, bending down to start working.

"Do you like this peaceful life?" Kromi asked casually while working.

"I do," Qianlong replied without hesitation. For him, that peaceful time in his childhood was the happiest.

"I like it too, but I don't know how long this kind of time can last," Kromi said with a hint of melancholy.

"That's not something we should worry about; naturally, someone will consider it," Qianlong replied.

"You have a point."

"You should be quite familiar with Grandma Bonnie, right?" Qianlong chatted.

Kromi seemed to fall into memories, and after a long time, he said, "Indeed, I've known her for a long time. Back then, I was quite a troublesome child."

"A troublesome child?"

"Yeah, just a guy who was very hard to deal with."

Kromi showed a very nostalgic expression.

Qianlong and Kromi worked seriously, catching one plump green bug after another and tossing them into the iron bucket.

"Boom."

The entire world suddenly shook, and Qianlong staggered a few steps to steady himself, looking at Kromi in confusion.

Was it a malfunction? Or were they under attack? The broadcast sounded.

"Emergency notice: Due to unidentified creatures invading the spaceship, code-named Mad Eye Rein Hawke, residents in the following areas are advised to take shelter."

"Areas E6, E7, E8, F4, F5, F6."

Qianlong asked, "Which area are we in?"

"Area E7." Kromi's expression changed dramatically.

Kromi immediately shouted, "Everyone, get out of here!"

Everyone felt very confused and turned to look at Kromi.

Kromi anxiously shouted, "Run! Get out of here!"

At this moment, the people present finally reacted and hurriedly dropped their work.

Phantom's voice suddenly echoed in Qianlong's mind.

"High-energy Higgs particle biological reaction detected, take cover immediately."

With a loud bang, the originally blue sky suddenly tore open a huge hole, and a grotesque, hideous humanoid monster with writhing red cells stuck its head in.

"Ah!"

A scream erupted on the scene, and everyone began to flee.
