People are collapsing iron, they say I am a greedy messenger

But she was already quite satisfied with this - if there were too many, she wouldn't be able to take them all because the system backpack hadn't been unlocked yet.

"We can just take that elevator directly to the main control section. We'll be safe there."

Xing was confused about this. She didn't remember the elevator in the space station, which made everyone wonder if she had temporary amnesia. Fortunately, the group's actions were not restricted.

On the control screen next to the elevator, March Seven clicked twice, his originally relaxed brows furrowed.

"broken."

"what happened?"

"The operating platform is unresponsive...it might be due to the previous EMP."

Sanyueqi scratched his head. "But the almighty Mr. Danheng went to see Alan from the Defense Department... Without him here, we can't repair it on our own."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and saw Dan Heng standing there with an expressionless face.

He had just left the team a few minutes ago.

"Ah, Dan Heng? When did you come?"

Yue Yan was completely bewildered—he had only been distracted for a few seconds, and when he looked up, he saw the cold-faced Little Green Dragon standing beside him.

Could this guy have super speed?

"I came back from the upper floor via a detour, and I sped up, so I was faster than you."

Dan Heng explained expressionlessly:

"I found Alan. He's also in the monitoring room. He was slightly injured in the battle with the antimatter army...

I just heard you say the elevator isn't working. Since he's the head of the Defense Department, he should be able to resolve this issue. You can go to the Defense Department and discuss it with him."

While Dan Heng and Sanyue were chatting, Yue Yan also began to think about his future plans - he had already obtained the ingredients he needed, and at present only the main control section of the space station was absolutely safe, because a large number of combat personnel were stationed there. It was not a good choice to stay near the strange object storage rudder section. He could first follow the train crew to the main control section.

Of course, she could also choose to return directly to her containment chamber, close the door, and no matter whether the ones coming were the antimatter army or some other messy stuff, they would all be blocked outside. Once she could cook new meals and get the points, everything would be fine.

After thinking it over again and again, she chose the latter - she could reunite with the train after the elevator was repaired, and cook the ingredients she had collected during this time. At least she could get enough points to open the lottery, and she wouldn't have to run around.

So she cleared her throat and said:

"Well, I won't be accompanying you on the rest of the journey. You should go to the Defense Department to find Alan first. I still have some..."

"No !!!!"

Unexpectedly, she was interrupted by Sanyue before she could finish her words. Yue Yan looked at the nervous girl in confusion, not understanding why she was so emotional.

Sanyue seemed to realize that she was being a little too extreme, so she suppressed her emotions and said righteously:

"There are still antimatter corps wandering around in the containment chamber, and you have no combat capability. It's too dangerous to be alone. If you encounter the antimatter corps, you will be in danger of death.

Whether it's due to Miss Ester's commission or our responsibility as nameless guests, we have an obligation to stop you from taking risks."

It is impossible for Yue Yan to be without fighting ability - because just when she was on the way, Heita sent a cropped part of the video of the other party devouring the desolate belt of the universe to the temporary group chat. It was indeed as she said, the scene was quite shocking.

At the same time, Heita also repeatedly emphasized - if possible, try to ensure the other party's safety and don't let her fall into danger. Otherwise, for the sake of self-protection, the lady may do some extraordinary actions that no one in the space station wants to see.

The consequences would not be too serious. At most, the space station, the Blue Star, the stars in the galaxy, and all the planets would become the other party's dinner today.

Ms. Black Tower also made a not-so-funny joke - maybe since she had just eaten some time ago, she would have a chance to control herself and only bite off half of the space station.

Therefore, no matter what, the safety of Miss Yue Yan must be guaranteed!

"Uh... well."

The explanation given by the other party was quite complete, and Yue Yan really had no reason to refuse, so she agreed to stay - after all, good food is never too late, she could go to the main control cabin to cook, there should be a 3D printing machine there, and she could make the full set of tableware she needed.

However, the idea of stewing an antimatter army raw was a bit horrifying for carbon-based life, and it was a bit unreasonable to expect the staff to accept such a thing based on their values - even though it was just the army's armor.

She would then have to apply to the Black Tower for a more secret place.

Chapter 10 High-quality ingredients

Led by Dan Heng, everyone came to the monitoring room - it was temporarily safe here. Inside, Captain Alan was resting with a bandage on his right arm.

This was a dark-skinned boy with many scars on the exposed parts of his skin. Beside him lay a large sword that was almost as tall as him. He looked like an experienced warrior.

At the same time, not only his dominant hand, but his leg also seemed to be injured, and his right thigh was wrapped in bandages.

Seeing the visitor, he wanted to stand up to greet him, but the pain in his hand forced him to sit back down again.

"Ah... it's you. Are you companions? Did Lady Black Tower send you here?"

Dan Heng gestured for the other party to sit down to prevent the wound from opening again, and said:

"Well, Ms. Black Tower's commission has been completed. We were supposed to return to deliver some small rare items as agreed, but we didn't expect to run into the scene of the attack."

"So, have you in the Security Department figured out the reason for the Legion's attack?"

Sanyueqi frowned and said, "Those guys are definitely heading for the space station. The surface of Canglan Star is very close to the space station, but it hasn't been affected at all."

Alan shook his head:

“Not yet… Even we are confused now.

After the attack, Station Chief Ester immediately evacuated the staff. I was supposed to cover their retreat, but due to a moment of negligence, I was injured and had to hide here temporarily..."

While everyone was talking, Yue Yan, who thought he was powerless and would not have much impact on the situation, was contacting Heita via text message, wanting the other party to help him prepare a place to cook in the main control cabin.

Interstellar Foodie: "Ms. Black Tower, are you there?"

Heita: "Oh, yes, Miss Yueyan, is there anything I can help you with?

I heard from the unknown passengers on the Starry Sky Train that you are temporarily following them. Are you in any danger?"

Interstellar Foodie: "Not yet, but we should be reaching the main control module soon...

I have collected some interesting ingredients from the Antimatter Legion, and I need you to prepare a kitchen for me with cooking utensils, various basic seasonings, and a full range of ingredients.

At the same time, it also needs to be subtle enough… Most people might not be able to accept my ingredients, and it would be too troublesome to explain.”

During the war, this would have been a somewhat troublesome request. After all, the war was intense and there was really no time to help her prepare the kitchen.

But Heita had anticipated similar situations - she had arranged a medium-sized kitchen in each main compartment in advance for Yue Yan to cook. After all, it was impossible for her to return to the containment chamber to cook every time.

But even if it is available, we still have to fight for it.

Black Tower: "Okay, the coordinates and key will be sent directly to your account in a moment. However, I want one-third of the finished product. Regardless of success or failure, even if it's a mess, you have to give me a portion."

Interstellar Foodie: "Sure, no problem."

Heita: "Then it's settled."

As Yue Yan's deal with the Black Tower was finalized, the discussion between the train crew and Alan was nearing its end. With March Seven's key, Alan successfully opened the locked upper elevator - but for the safety of the staff, he really couldn't open the lower elevator that had already been occupied.

That means they still need to climb a flight of stairs.

"You guys go first."

Because he was sick, in order not to drag down the others, Alan said he wanted to stay, but in the end he was still dragged away by the tough train crew - he was not completely unable to move, but he could no longer fight.

On the way to the upper level, perhaps because Yue Yan didn't have to fight like him, Alan, who was protected at the rear, took the initiative to speak to others, which was rare:

"Is this lady... a member of staff at the space station?"

Yue Yan avoided the question - she was not good at lying:

"Ah... If by section officer you mean a researcher recognized by Ms. Black Tower, then I probably am."

“So…?”

This was a somewhat vague answer, but the space station had so many talented people that it was normal for some members to have some secrets. Alan didn't ask any further questions, but simply changed the question:

"So, what are you responsible for?"

"Strange Object Containment and Research."

"Oh……"

The conversation between the two was overheard by the three people in front. Sanyue kept praying in her heart that the young man would stop asking questions - how could this kid dare to ask anything? He really wasn't afraid of what he would ask...

But fortunately, the worst-case scenario did not happen. Alan was still very sensible and just asked a few questions casually.

Everyone arrived at a room on the upper floor smoothly, and saw several translucent "glass cards" in the room that looked like a laboratory.

It seems to be some kind of rare object, well protected.

Yue Yan's eyes widened almost instantly - she felt that this thing was edible, not only edible, but also a far better quality ingredient than the Antimatter Legion!

If I had to describe it, it's like the difference between fried chicken racks you get for 15 yuan buy one pound and get half a pound free at a takeout restaurant, and the high-quality steaks used in high-end restaurants. You can tell the difference at a glance.

She smelled the scent of memories, the intoxicating quality of the memories was like a fine wine that had been aged for decades, the aroma was so strong that she couldn't help but drool.

Yue Yan murmured:

"Is this... a light cone? I heard it's a rare item only owned by the Interstellar Peace Company and the Flowing Light Memory Court. Why is there such a thing in the space station?"

Dan Heng then said:

"The Light Cone is a powerful and practical enhancement item. It's not uncommon for Ms. Black Tower, who has a penchant for collecting rare items, to possess it. The company paid a large sum to acquire the rights to use it..."

But how they got the Black Tower is hard to say."

As he spoke, Alan had already removed the protective shields of the light cones, signaling everyone to use them.

"These light cones were obtained legitimately. That's all I can say... This is an emergency, so please take these light cones and use them."

They were not polite either. Sanyue, Danheng and Xing each took a light cone, while Yue Yan, as a non-combatant, could only watch with envy - he wanted it, but had no reason to take it.

Fortunately, perhaps seeing the desire in the girl's eyes, Danheng and Sanyue decided to give her one to appease her, and later secretly explained the reason to Alan via text message.

We can't let this child suffer any injustice. If she suffers any injustice, let alone one or two light cones, it's hard to say whether the Black Tower Space Station can continue to exist.

"Hey hey hey..."

When Yue Yan got the new ingredients, she felt just like Hiroshima in 45 - it was so beautiful!

She put it on immediately - and the light cone was indeed powerful. She felt her steps were much lighter, and she even had more energy to climb the stairs with everyone else.

They didn't encounter any enemies on the way there, not even a few scattered soldiers, and they successfully reached the elevator that allowed them to go to the main control compartment - it was so safe that it felt a little abnormal.

Generally speaking, according to the plot of American TV dramas, an accident should happen soon as expected.

Yue Yan said subconsciously:

"It's so quiet, and there are no enemies near the elevator. It's a world of difference from the previous section..."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone felt something was wrong.

Chapter 11 Edible Gems

The second after Yue Yan said this, a sound of breaking through the air was heard in front of them. A giant purple arrow, about the size of a forearm, flew towards them. Dan Heng reacted the fastest and immediately drew his gun to block it. At the same time, he also reminded the people behind him:

"There's an ambush, be careful!"

A soldier of the antimatter legion, shaped like a centaur and holding a huge bow, rushed out from the shadows in front and shot several arrows at everyone again. The antimatter was wrapped in the power of destruction, and its lethality was far beyond the ordinary individual thermal weapons.

March, Xing, and even Alan pulled out their weapons to fight back, but one of the bullets seemed to have missed the target and flew straight towards Yue Yan.

The girl was shocked - the speed was too fast and she couldn't dodge it, so she raised the kitchen knife in her hand and blocked it with the blade.

But to her surprise, she didn't feel any strong resistance. The moment the arrow collided with the blade, it was like butter falling on a hot knife. It was easily split into two halves and then dissipated in the air.

Besides the incredible strength of the item provided by the system, it seemed as if some mysterious power was flowing through her body, attaching to the blade, helping her to withstand the attack. It wasn't the light cone, but something else...

But the situation was critical at the moment and she didn't have time to think about it.

Sanyue and Danheng were a little nervous when they saw an attack flying towards Yue Yan, but they didn't expect it to be easily resolved by the other party, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.

Come to think of it, even if he is in some kind of seal, as a Star God's messenger, how could he be as weak as an ordinary person?

A few unannounced arrows sounded the battle horn. The tall centaur was the "Trampler" of the Antimatter Legion. Just like his name, this guy could not only shoot arrows with a bow, but his four hooves were also very powerful. When he charged, he was like a small tank, and even crushed the ground of the space station while running.

However, two fists cannot beat four hands. Even the toughest man is afraid of a group fight, let alone one against four.

Although only March and Danheng among the four have real combat experience, this does not prevent Xing and Yueyan from launching harassing attacks on the enemy. The main force is still March and Danheng, one for long-range output and the other for close combat.

It was obvious that the opponent's brain was not very good and his fighting skills were not particularly sophisticated. He relied entirely on his strong physical fitness to hold on.

With the continuous attack, the Trampler showed signs of fatigue in less than four minutes. Yue Yan, who was attacking by surprise, seized the opportunity and chopped off his right front leg with a knife.

With a snap, the calf broke, and the round diamond-shaped gem on the knee was grabbed by Yue Yan, and in an instant...!

Ahem, it's been taken off.
