Collapse, the Ordinary Daily Life of the Valkyries

"Abnormal space readings! Star track stability has dropped to 12%! Docking schedule changed, extending this station's docking time from 7 days to indefinite!"

Xing covered his head and looked at the train conductor:

"What the hell, indefinitely?"

"What on earth is this?"

Holding her chest, Xing asked, and Jizi sighed:

"There are so many mysteries surrounding the 'Star Core' that even the Black Tower, the 83rd seat of the Genius Club, cannot fully decipher it."

"However, you don't have to worry too much. This isn't the first time we've encountered a situation where our route is blocked by a star core."

"Even if we don't understand the true nature of the 'star core,' there are still ways to counteract its effects."

Xing had an idea about Ji Zi's words. He opened his mouth, but chose not to tell Ji Zi and Walter about his thoughts. At this moment, Walter continued to add:

"The only thing we can be sure of is that the arrival of a 'stellar core' will bring about drastic changes in civilization and ecology, and will also produce spatial distortion phenomena such as the Rift."

"The reason why Yalilo-VI became such an icy planet...is closely related to the influence of the 'stellar core'."

Ji Zi retrieved all the information:

"According to our speculation, the 'star core' is a seed of disaster sown by a certain star god to every world. If we don't eradicate the source of the disaster, there will be no talk of 'development'."

The speaker may not have intended it, but the listener took it to heart. These words made Xing Jin's golden eyes darken:

"The seeds of disaster..."

"The purpose of the journey is clear: find the 'star core' that brought disaster to this world and caused the distortion of space, and bring it back to the train. Leave the rest to us."

Xing's strange emotions might have been hidden too deeply, so no one noticed. Ji Zi looked at Xing and Sanyueqi:

"This pioneering mission will be handed over to Xing, Danheng, and Sanyueqi. The three of you will go together."

"Dan Heng has probably already started compiling the ecological and survey data on Yalilo-VI. It's always a good idea to have more information before embarking on a journey."

Volume 2: Traveling the Galaxy: Chapter 53: Onward to the City of Beloberg!

"I hope to entrust this pioneering journey to Xing, Sanyueqi, and Danheng. The purpose of the journey is also very clear..."

Ji Zi looked at Xing and Sanyueqi who had just boarded the bus, and then handed the task of leading them to Dan Heng:

"Find the 'star core' that brought disaster to this world and caused the distortion of space, bring it back to the train, and we'll take care of everything else."

Bronya looked at the snow-covered planet and suddenly said:

"Himeko, Bronya wants to go too. By the way, we can also support each other."

"The train doesn't prevent the Nameless Guest from moving freely. Bronya can go if she wants. Gao Su and I will stay on the train."

Ji Zi said so, at this time, an indifferent voice sounded:

"There are still survivors on this planet."

As soon as Dan Heng was mentioned, he arrived. He walked in from the rest car with some information. Xing stood in front of the window and stared at the big ball.

The round and white creatures quietly stayed in the empty universe. What have those people who survived become now?

If everything inside the planet except the energy in the center is in a frozen state, the planet itself slowly rotates, and an unprecedented scene is revealed to the eyes.

Xing was stunned because a face similar to Pam had appeared on the planet. Compared to the location of the survivors, he guessed it was probably in the northwest direction. He looked at Ji Zi:

"Has the train been here before?"

"I've been here! That guy drew that! He was still alive when we first came here!"

At this moment, Pam's voice came from the window, with a hint of nostalgia and sadness in her words:

"This is a planet he once visited. The unique scenery of Yalilo VI left that guy with his pioneering stamp."

Things have changed, and everything has come to an end. The train conductor seemed to be thinking about the past. Seeing the train conductor lost in memories, Ji Zi looked at Xing and the other two:

"In that case, the mission of pioneering Yalilo VI this time is now yours! The Return of the Nameless Guest!"

"I understand! Sister Jizi!"

The lively March Seventh skipped towards the train's delivery port:

"The coordinates have been confirmed. The transmission channel will open in 15 seconds."

Pam's voice reached his ears powerfully. Xing carried some necessities on his back and followed March 7th with some trepidation in his heart.

"Don't be afraid. It will only take a moment and we will be on the surface in no time." March Seven comforted.

"Three...two...one, start!"

Pam flipped the switch, and the three of them were enveloped in shimmering golden light, teleported to the surface of Yalilo VI through the power of pioneering.

"It's really icy and snowy."

"It's really icy and snowy."

Xing repeated what March Seven sighed, and March Seven glared at him unhappily:

"Repeater, you!"

Then it circled again:

"Hey, this is all white. Where should we go?"

"According to the coordinates, the city target where the survivors of Yalilo VI are located is not far ahead."

Dan Heng glanced at the location device on his wrist and said, March Seven sighed:

"There's not even a spare snowmobile—our train is so stingy!"

"Remember what you did to the last snowmobile? That's not how we spent the train crew's budget."

Dan Heng sighed. He had reminded San Yue Qi of this repeatedly when his snowmobile broke down the last time they passed by an ice planet.

"Skip this topic."

Sanyueqi glanced aside. This was too embarrassing. His dark history was brought up again. Looking at Xing who was enjoying the show, Danheng warned him:

"Remember, every step you take must be cautious. We still know very little about this world, but the Star Express doesn't provoke trouble, but it's not afraid of it either."

"It's safe, it's safe. With the three of us here, what can't be solved? Xing has a star core in his body, I have the one-of-a-kind six-phase ice, and Dan Heng has... uh, a mysterious past that I don't know what."

San Yueqi patted Dan Heng's shoulder carelessly, then waved her little fist:

"Whoever dares to cause trouble to us will be in big trouble!"

"It's bad luck for him!"

In response to Xing's repetition, Sanyueqi rolled his eyes at him:

"How long have your symptoms of relapse lasted?"

The three of them walked towards the coordinates, taking in the scenery along the way. Dan Heng looked at the Rift Creature in front of him:

"This place hasn't been eroded yet, but the monsters bred by the Rift have already escaped. The influence of the 'star core' in this world is probably extraordinary."

They drew their weapons and prepared for battle, but at this moment, a shaking snowpack caught their attention.

Sanyueqi gestured to the two of them, walked up to the snow pile, and said helplessly:

"...Hey, stop hiding, you're so cold that you're shaking."

However, Xing did hold the baseball bat and made a shushing gesture to the two of them. Then, looking at the snowball that was larger in front and smaller in the back, he fiercely stabbed into the larger end. A man with Shamatte hair jumped out of the snowball, covering his buttocks.

"Oh ho ho, oh ho ho!"

"Well done. The best way to deal with someone who is trying to cover his ears while stealing the bell is to smash the bell on his head."

Dan Heng agreed with Xing's approach, but the non-mainstream Shamatte youth covered his private parts helplessly:

"Hey, buddy, it's not that serious, is it? There's nothing wrong with crawling in the snow. You don't need to poke me there with a baseball bat, right?"

"Where is that?"

Xing put the baseball bat on himself, Sanyueqi took out his bow, and Danheng assembled his spear.

"Gulu."

The man hiding in the snow swallowed his saliva. He was a wise man who knew the situation, especially when the three people in front of him formed a triangle with no escape.

"Uh, but this isn't the heroes' fault! Haha, it's just that I showed up so abruptly."

"It's worth it, it should be, it must be! Otherwise, how would I have met all these good friends? Haha...Excuse me, is Commander Jeppard here? I know him quite well."

"Who?"

Sanyueqi was a little confused, but the man who crawled out of the snow suddenly realized:

"Oh, aren't you the Silver Mane Guard? You should have said it earlier. It's unnecessary to have family members fighting against each other! Sambo Koski, nice to meet you."

He introduced himself, and Xing took a step forward:

"I am a star."

"Okay, okay, I'll remember that. To be honest, I didn't expect to meet someone like you in this icy and snowy place."

"Business hasn't been good lately, but don't worry, I, Sangbo, never eat alone. The treasure out there is huge, so let's all make money together, hahahaha."

"How about we team up together? I have reliable information: the main force of the Silver Mane Guard has been transferred to the front line. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Xing looked at the unfamiliar words spoken by the man in front of her:

"Silvermane Guard? What is that?"

"That's a bit too much, everyone. It's okay if you don't trust me, but you don't have to be so stupid."

The man who claimed to be Sambo looked at the wary people in front of him, not knowing what to say, and spread his hands:

"Okay, I know the rules. We're all in this business, so it's understandable that we're a little wary. Blame it on me, Sambo, for being so warm and sincere! I made you wary."

"Meeting is always fate. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. I will tell you everything I know! But to make a long story short, the Silver Mane Iron Guard may appear at any time."

Ignoring his nonsense, Xing raised the baseball bat at him:

"Where is the gathering place?"

"Why are you being so pedantic? It's just that there are no living people around. You're definitely doomed if you go outside."

"The only place in the world still inhabited by humans is our good Belloberg."

As for Bronya, she had already used optical invisibility to sneak into Beloberg's city and collect intelligence.

On the train, Ji Zi was looking at the train crew map compiled based on the tickets, and sipped her coffee.

"Bronya came to the city so soon. 20 years old Wu ⑶b『a (7〓?) 300 million?"

"Well, she's a former special forces soldier. For her, doing solo infiltration work is like returning to her old job."

Gao Su leaned on the sofa in the observation car, still looking lazy, while Pam was maintaining the train's power in the cab:

"Perhaps their pioneering journey will become very interesting, Himeko."

"I hope so."

Ji Zi nodded, but there was always a trace of indelible worry between her brows.

Volume 2: Traveling the Galaxy: Chapter 54: Another Bronya

"Captain, this is Bronya. I have now infiltrated the city of Beloberg."

Bronya, whose entire body had entered optical invisibility, swaggered through the streets of Beloberg City.

"'The City of Preservation,' 'The Eternal City,' 'Humanity's only bulwark against the cold wave'... It sounds impressive, but every word is true. Only within this iron wall can humanity survive."

Bronya walked to a heating device placed on the street. She had never thought that a star core could bring such a disaster to a planet.

This is simply like the Herrscher of Meteoric Ice, unleashing his power at zero percent power:

"Captain, judging by the situation on this planet, the impact of the star core and the Herrscher core is roughly the same."

Bronya looked at the message sent by Ji Zi and talked to Gao Su. Gao Su thought about it, but before he could speak, he heard a voice:

"Bronya."

Bronya felt suspicious when she heard the call. She thought she had underestimated these people from the outer solar system. They could even know her origins.

However....
