Star Dome Railway: Kevin's Pioneering Journey

"Finally, I'll give you a reward for finally being normal for once."

Xing nodded repeatedly, took the instant noodles, and as soon as he took the first bite, he felt a tingling sensation rushing straight to his soul.

"This noodle is good, it smells good but tastes stinky!"

As he spoke, he took a few deep gulps.

Xier on the side didn't pay attention to Xingzheng slurping noodles, but stared at the virtual screen in front of her.

"I felt that Bronya was in a weird state before she left Klipperburg. Is anything going to happen to her?"

Seele has sharp eyes, perhaps she is so concerned because the target is Bronya.

Kevin glanced at Xier and said lightly.

"It's just the whispers of Star Core and Cocolia. After all, she is ready to show Bronya her hidden secrets, so there is no need to hide them."

After listening to Kevin's explanation, Xier was temporarily relieved. Fortunately, it was not a problem of any other kind.

Dan Heng nodded in agreement and took over the conversation.

"Unfortunately, Bronya knows more than Cocolia thought. Her previous reports were also very smart, and she didn't reveal too much information about us to Cocolia."

Kevin didn't care about Bronya's report. He held his chin thoughtfully and spoke out what he was thinking.

"I have a guess. Based on the previous example of Cocolia deliberately sending the Silver Mane Iron Guards into the Rift to die, I think the promise made by the Star Core to Cocolia is closely related to the Rift. It must have painted a big pie for Cocolia."

Jeppard was very curious. He knew what Cocolia had done, but according to his character, he did not ask her in person, but just followed her orders obediently.

"Then what is its purpose in going through so much trouble to do this?"

Kevin glanced at him, not surprised that he asked, and answered.

"What is the specific purpose? It's easy to guess. In the final analysis, it is nothing more than to accelerate the spread of the Rift. After all, you Silver Mane Iron Guards have been killing Rift monsters continuously, which has effectively slowed down the spread of the Rift."

After hearing these words, Dan Heng understood the reason very clearly.

"So the purpose of the Star Core is actually internal infiltration. With a traitor inside, you won't be able to hold out for long."

"That's what they say - be on guard day and night, but you can't guard against a thief in your own home."

San Yue Qi spread his hands and sighed.

"And the thief is your leader. If that's the case, you, Beloberg, would be finished a long time ago."

Xing said while holding a bucket of noodles. Although his words were a bit direct, this was the reality.

Kevin nodded and said to everyone.

"Just keep watching. They are speeding up."

……

At the same time, on the Starry Sky Train.

Ji Zi was standing by the car window looking at the planet Yalilo-VI, and her brows couldn't help but frown.

Walter’s voice came from behind.

"The activity in the Rift has intensified - something is happening to Yalilo-VI."

Walter walked to the car window and spoke to Ji Zi slowly.

"Oh? You don't seem to be in a hurry?"

Ji Zi raised her eyebrows and looked at Walter. She knew where Walter’s confidence came from.

"With Kevin here, they won't be in danger."

As he spoke, Walter pointed to the dashcam in his hand, which would display their whereabouts in real time based on the nameplates on them.

"Looking at their position, they haven't moved at all. I guess they have some plan."

Jizi nodded and said.

"This is Xing's first pioneering mission, and I hope this experience will become an unforgettable memory for her."

"Don't worry, Kevin is confident that he will give her enough experience."

Walter remembered that he had specifically reminded Kevin to give Xingdian a chance to train, so he wasn't too worried.

"By the way, why did Kevin suddenly call you over before?"

Jizi looked at Walter and asked.

"..."

When Walter mentioned what happened next, he remembered the photo of the idol. He was kicked back before he could get the reason.

"Ugh--"

Sighing, Walter began to explain the situation. Of course, for the sake of his own innocence, he would not tell anyone about the photo and buried it deep in his heart.

……

"The erosion on the edge roads pales in comparison to what's happening here."

Dan Heng looked at the place where the two people walked on the virtual screen and couldn't help but sigh.

Jeppard on the side nodded and introduced.

"This place has been eroded by the Rift for many years, and the edge passage has only been eroded recently, so it is naturally not as good as here. However, I have never set foot in this place, and I don't know how many years it has been abandoned."

The scene in the picture continued, Bronya followed Cocolia and looked around the surrounding environment.

As soon as she stepped into this land, Bronya felt creepy, as if there were countless pairs of eyes looking at her.

Suppressing the discomfort in her body, Bronya looked at Cocolia in front of her and asked.

"…You haven't told me where this place is, Mother."

Cocolia in front did not look back, but gradually slowed down her pace, looked at the scene in front of her, and introduced it.

"Seven hundred years ago, this was the northern border of Beloberg. It was also the ancient battlefield where Alyssa Rand led the first group of Silver Mane Iron Guards to resist the Legion."

"As for now... it's just an abandoned corridor, with echoes of the old world everywhere."

"But do not be fooled by this fragmented appearance, Bronya. When the day comes when the promise is fulfilled... these ruins will become the cradle of a new world."

"...Mother, do you really believe in the promise made by the star core? It summoned the wind and snow outside the wall and opened the door to the rift. It destroyed our civilization—"

Bronya was very confused by Cocolia's words. She didn't believe that a star core that only brought destruction could bring new life to the world.

This time, Cocolia was not angry because of Bronya's confusion. She just felt that her daughter had not yet been exposed to the truth.

So she continued.

"——The mistake our ancestors made was not embracing destruction sooner."

"..."

Bronya didn't say anything else. She knew she couldn't persuade Cocolia. If everything was really as her mother said, then why would the people on the Star Train say they wanted to solve the disaster on this planet? Don't they have anything to do after eating?

Cocolia just kept talking to herself.

"From the moment the alien invaders arrived, this world has been sentenced to death. But the star core...it gives us a glimmer of hope."

"Rebirth requires a price. Erasing all the stale traces of the old world and giving up the meaningless lingering life... This is the price the star core offers."

"Once His promise is fulfilled, Bronya... we will no longer have to spend our lives protecting a wasteland. You and I, we will witness with our own eyes the rise of a new world from the ruins."

"..."

Cocolia glanced back at the silent Bronya and urged.

"Let's go, Bronya."

After saying that, Kokolia walked forward quickly. She covered her chest, feeling as if something was missing. The connection between herself and Him became increasingly blurred. This made her alert. What on earth had happened?

That sense of urgency prompted her to see the star core as soon as possible and find out the reason.

Bronya looked at Cocolia who was quickening her pace in front of her in confusion.

She seems anxious?

Bronya quickly followed Cocolia's footsteps and left the place.

However, not long after the two left, two afterimages appeared at their original positions.

……

"This looks like... some kind of afterimage? It's the remnant of some energy copied from the Rift..."

Dan Heng said as he looked at the afterimage gradually appearing on the screen.

"Now is not the time to research such things."

Seeing this, Kevin waved his hand and said to everyone.

"They are getting closer and closer to the location of the star core. Once Cocolia finds the star core, I will start the transmission directly. So now you should get your weapons ready. You may be able to be transmitted at any time."

"Great, catch her off guard!"

Xing instantly raised his baseball bat and cheered.

Everyone took out their weapons, held them in their hands, and prepared themselves.

The plan is going smoothly.

At this time, Cocolia didn't know that she was being closely watched by everyone behind the scenes. She was anxious about why she had lost contact with the star core.

Chapter 55: The Unexpected Arrival

Bronya followed Cocolia and walked deeper and deeper into the rift, and the number of monsters around them gradually increased as they went deeper.

But the monster surprisingly did not attack the two people, as if it had received some kind of order.

Cocolia breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this. It seemed that there was no problem with the star core. It was a disguised reminder to her that she was watching. However, she couldn't figure out why her connection with the star core had weakened.

Everything can only be confirmed after seeing the core of the star, but fortunately there are no major problems. Cocolia's pace gradually slowed down and she was not as anxious as before.

Along the way, Bronya was thinking about what Cocolia had said before. Although she did not agree with it, it did not prevent her from learning more of the truth.

Seeing that Cocolia in front of her slowed down, Bronya took the opportunity to ask.

"If the truth is as you said, then every guardian in the past few hundred years has resisted the call of the star core... Have they all done something wrong, mother?"
