Chapter 50
Not long after passing through the dead asteroid belt, they finally arrived at the temporary docking port. It was evident this was indeed temporary and poorly constructed, yet it could still accommodate a mid-level starship.
“We’re here,” Chu Muxi said.
It could be seen outer space, this was an earth-yellow planet, not particularly eye-catching. “I don’t know how the group’s survey team discovered it was worthy of something,” Chu Muxi added pointedly.
Someone said with a smile, “Maybe it’s because of his unique charm, haha.”
Chu Muxi looked over and saw that the person speaking was Lu Junzhi’s thick-browed subordinate named Zhao Lei.
Zhao Lei grinned at him, and Lu Junzhi glanced over at him expressionlessly. Zhao Lei immediately stood upright and raised his hand to zip up his mouth to indicate that he had shut up.
Chu Muxi burst out laughing and got off the starship with Lu Junzhi.
.
A group of seven of them landed directly on the planet in an aircraft.
“We have a temporary camp here, but because no valuable resources were found during several surveys, the board of directors decided to temporarily abandon this place. The last batch of people to evacuate was about half a month ago,” Xu Gaolai explained the situation to everyone.
Chu Muxi nodded, “No one is here. It’s easy for us to do things.”
Xu Gaolai couldn’t help but glance at him. He always felt that Chu Muxi’s expression and tone seemed to be sure that something existed here.
When he looked away, he accidentally bumped into Lu Junzhi. The latter had a calm expression, but Xu Gaolai still felt a sense of oppression.
Looking at his young master stepping forward and whispering into the other person’s ear, while the legendary cold-faced God of War leaned over slightly and looked very cooperative, one could understand that no matter what the young master wanted to do, there was definitely someone behind him to back up.
Regardless, Lu Junzhi’s name was enough to make the young master walk around the entire empire without fear, and no one dared to say anything.
“You will come with me later,” Chu Muxi whispered to Lu Junzhi.
The other person’s hot breath fell on his ears, and the two of them were so close that Lu Junzhi could see the other person’s slightly trembling eyelashes from the corner of his eye. “Okay.”
“You still have to bring instruments. Can we use that? Just the survey instrument you brought,” Chu Muxi said as he walked into the temporary camp with Lu Junzhi.
“You can do whatever you want with me here,” Lu Junzhi said calmly.
Chu Muxi raised his eyebrows, “Okay, then I won’t be polite.”
.
Xu Gaolai first led two subordinates to activate the temporary camp, at least to ensure they could live here in the next few days.
Zhao Lei directed others to carry the daily necessities they would need to live here in the coming days. In fact, if it were Lu Junzhi leading the mission, they wouldn’t bring so many items except the necessary weapons.
It would be sufficient to bring only some dry food and water. Unlike this mission, where he even saw fresh vegetables and fruits in the box just now.
“Deputy team, are we here for a picnic?” one of the bald soldiers remarked, observing various fruits and snacks that women and children on the Central Star would like. It didn’t look like a task-oriented mission.
The other tall man moved things silently but couldn’t help glancing at the boxes a few more times.
Zhao Lei smiled and scolded, “Hurry up and move things, stop talking nonsense. Be careful; if you make the boss unhappy, I will punish you with extra training here.”
The bald soldier quickly excused himself, then picked up the box and put it into the warehouse.
Zhao Lei thought, ‘You know nothing, little bastard. The boss has no time to talk to you now! He is busy picking up a boy—no, he is busy with your sister-in-law. Forget it; he just doesn’t have time to care about us anyway.’
.
Everyone over there was busy organizing the temporary camp, while Chu Muxi and Lu Junzhi prepared to go outside for a walk.
The temporary camp was built in an open space. As the aircraft continued to approach, Chu Muxi took a glance at the planet. Basically, he saw no vegetation, only bare mountains and desert land.
Lu Junzhi took Chu Muxi onto the aircraft, bringing the survey instrument with him.
“Where to go?” Lu Junzhi asked.
Chu Muxi briefly recalled that the new energy stone seemed to have been found at the bottom of a mountain. He didn’t know the specific location. He could only point to a mountain not far away and said, “Let’s go there for a walk.”
“Okay,” Lu Junzhi replied without any comments.
Chu Muxi said jokingly, “Aren’t you afraid that I will take you to a dangerous place?”
Lu Junzhi glanced at him with a strange expression.
Chu Muxi, not waiting for an answer, suddenly came to his senses after a while.
There was a world of difference in fighting ability between Lu Junzhi and him. If Chu Muxi really took Lu Junzhi to some dangerous place, Lu Junzhi would definitely be able to escape, but it was not sure about him.
“I hit myself in the face; it really hurts,” Chu Muxi said with a self-deprecating smile.
Lu Junzhi said seriously, “Don’t worry, I won’t leave you.”
“I know.” Even though they only knew each other for a short time, he had already put Lu Junzhi in the same position as his grandfather. “I believe you.”
However, Lu Junzhi might not be happy when he said about the grandfather.
Yet, these three words were enough to make Lu Junzhi felt much better at the moment. “I will put the aircraft into autopilot later, and then I will release the survey instrument and observe the survey data. Please help me keep an eye on the situation outside the cab.”
Chu Muxi nodded, “Okay, I understand.”
The aircraft’s speed was very fast, and it reached the top of the mountain range in a short time.
Lu Junzhi turned on the autopilot and let the aircraft fly slowly over the mountains. Then he walked to the back and released the surveying instrument. The military surveying instrument was much smaller than the one used by the Shen Group, but the surveyable range and accuracy were a hundred times stronger.
Lu Junzhi stared at the data on the display screen carefully, while Chu Muxi kept observing the outside.
.
There were also some beasts on this planet, but they hadn’t appeared in front of them yet.
Just as he thought of this, a dark figure flashed quickly outside the cockpit.
“Lu da-ge, I saw something flying over,” Chu Muxi called Lu Junzhi.
Lu Junzhi nodded, “They should be flying beasts. The report mentioned that there are some larger flying beasts and land beasts here, but they are not ferocious. Otherwise, even if the Shen Group hired mercenaries, they wouldn’t dare to come here so many times and stay here for a month.”
“That’s good.”
Just as he was talking, the instrument in Lu Junzhi’s hand suddenly beeped three times.
“What’s wrong?” Chu Muxi turned to ask him.
Lu Junzhi, holding the instrument, looked over and said, “A new type of energy has been detected.” His expression also showed a bit of disbelief.
Chu Muxi’s eyes widened, and he thought to himself, what kind of lucky emperor’s physique did he have? Did he really find it with pointing a finger so easily?
Note: hello everyone, wew we are already on chapter 50, this is the first time I pick up interstellar theme. So…. If there is anything weird or mistake, just say it on our discord so I could fix it.
