Chapter 1213: Spirit (Second Update, Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket)

Besides, Xia Chujian also knew that the cockpit and public activity areas were originally public places, and individuals had no right to privacy in public places.

If you want privacy and do something shady, please find yourself a room.

Xia Chujian thought like this and looked at Sang Yadi's appearance on the virtual display screen.

They haven't seen each other for over a year.

Xia Chujian's impression of her still lingered on when they parted ways from the Kanli Star Flight Base.

At that time, although Sang Yadi looked unremarkable, she was full of energy. Coupled with genetic evolution, her stuttering problem was gone. Her whole person had a high-spirited and uplifting demeanor that was unforgettable.

But now, she still looks ugly, and her previous vitality is gone.

Her face was haggard, her eyes were dull, and there was a long scar on the side of her cheek.

Xia Chujian frowned slightly and said, "Sister Sang, what is going on?"

"Is it convenient for you to talk there?"

Sanyadi touched the scars on her face and said with a wry smile: "You have seen it, and I won't hide it from you."

"And you are originally a member of the Fifth Star Fleet. You are here to pick up our squad for defense change. Telling you is not a violation."

"Let me tell you the truth, one-third of the fifteen satellites in the Shaofu Star Domain and the 168 asteroids under these satellites have been reduced to Zerg bases."

Seeing the sudden change in Xia Chu's face, Xia Chu asked quickly: "Are there humans on these planets?"

Sanyadi shook her head, nodded again, and said, "The situation there is more complicated. It was only during my mission here this time that I got some clues."

Xia Chujian said: "I would like to hear the details."

Sanyadi explained to her carefully: "You know, the habitable planets in the Beichen Galaxy are the ones that are truly suitable for human habitation."

“It doesn’t require any modifications.”

"But the habitable planets have their own satellites, as well as the asteroid belt around the planets. There are also many planets in them, which were given to nobles as fiefdoms by the Tantai royal family."

"Because the founding emperor granted too many nobles and divided the fiefdoms, it was far from enough to only have habitable planets in the Beichen Empire."

"So except for nobles above earl who have fiefdoms on habitable planets, many other viscounts and barons have no fiefdoms at first."

"Later on, the empire's space technology developed greatly, and everyone turned their attention to the satellites and asteroids of habitable planets."

"Of course, most moons and asteroids are not suitable for direct human habitation."

"But relying on the empire's super space technology, we can use local resources to build various livable places on satellites and asteroids."

"Of course, these places are fully enclosed and self-circulating."

"In short, as long as mineral energy can be discovered locally and provided with oxygen and water source conversion equipment, habitable territories can be opened up on these satellites and asteroids that are not suitable for human habitation."

Xia Chujian understood: "So these satellites and asteroids are now manor territories entrusted by nobles."

Sanyadi nodded: "That's it."

"When we came to garrison, the Governor of Shaofu Star had already conveyed the order from the cabinet and the military department, asking everyone to evacuate from these satellites and asteroids."

"After we arrive, we will notify you planet by planet."

"As a result, only half of the people obeyed and evacuated."

"The other half of the people feel that there is already an interstellar fleet stationed there and it is under the jurisdiction of the Beichen Empire. No matter how powerful the Zerg are, they don't dare to go to war with us..."

"That's why I stayed and didn't leave."

"I don't know what happened, but the Zerg army suddenly appeared on these moons and asteroids."

"By the time we knew the news, more than half of the moons and asteroids had fallen."

"Of course we can't tolerate the Zerg advancing so close. We can only go to war against them..."

Speaking of this, Sanyadi showed a trace of uncontrollable sadness on her face.

She said: "... First meeting, do you remember our battle with the Star Thieves?"

"Remember our battle on Morisawa Planet?"

Xia Chujian nodded: "Of course I remember... we sacrificed so many people..."

Sanyadi said sadly: "The battle with the Zerg is a hundred times more difficult than that!"

Xia Chujian's pupils shrank sharply, but quickly returned to normal.

She said calmly: "No matter how difficult it is, we must fight."

"Just tell me, Zerg, if you can be killed."

Sanyadi looked at her in shock and said, "First time we meet! I know you are very powerful, but the Zerg are a completely different kind of creature!"

"Yes, they can be killed, but do you know what it takes to kill a Zerg soldier?!"

"There was once an encounter in which our team of fifty-three people died, and only three of them died before we killed one Zerg soldier!"

"The ratio is fifty to one!"

Xia Chujian frowned: "Fifty to one? Isn't it ten to one?"

She remembered that the battle loss ratio was like this over at Southern Cross.

Sanyadi said: "Ten to one, that's the loss ratio when facing low-level Zerg. When encountering slightly more powerful mid-level Zerg, we have to use the lives of fifty Star Marines to fill it!"

Xia Chujian narrowed his eyes: "...So, for ordinary people who are not genetic evolvers to deal with medium-sized Zerg, the loss ratio is fifty to one."

"What if it's a genetic evolver?"

Sanyadi said: "There are no specific statistics, but if the genetic evolver is the lowest level E level, five people can kill a medium Zerg soldier."

"But when everyone saw the Zerg soldiers' thick armor that couldn't even be penetrated by bullets, everyone was so scared that they just wanted to run away..."

"Genetic evolvers run fast. When encountering an encounter, as long as there are no outstanding middle-level Zerg soldiers, they can run away."

"But the Star Marines without genetic evolution are in dire straits. They have no choice but to stay and fight to the death with those Zerg soldiers..."

"Because everyone knows what will happen if they are captured by Zerg soldiers, so every Star Marine would rather blow a grenade to explode or burn himself to death than leave his body to be destroyed by Zerg soldiers."

"Those Star Marines in our fleet all have the last grenade on them, which is reserved for themselves..."

"I have never seen such a brutal battle... But I heard from people that this is not the main Zerg army under Wen Renzhao!"

Xia Chujian's eyes flashed slightly, and she thought to herself that these first-hand information were not even mentioned on Xingwang.

She took a deep breath and said, "How did Sister Mao and Sister Chu die?"

"They are also genetic evolvers!"

Sanyadi couldn't help but shed tears: "They died while performing a special mission."

"I still don't know what mission they performed."

"At that time, we sent out the most elite team of 100 people, but in the end, only ten people came back."

Xia Chujian said: "Who knows the inside story of this special mission?"

Sanyadi said: "We first met, what do you want to do? This is the army. Don't ask around about things we don't want you to know. There are rules."

Xia Chujian had no choice but to change the subject again and said, "Then how did you go from the Fifth Star Fleet to the Fourth Star Fleet?"

Sanyadi wiped away her tears and said: "When we returned to the Fifth Star Fleet, we were supposed to be rewarded based on merit, and everyone could be promoted to the school level..."

"But we were too naive. Not long after, a group of people in the fleet did receive military honors, but it was not us, but a group of noble pilots who suddenly returned to the Fifth Star Fleet."

"They all have distinguished backgrounds and are beyond our comparison."

"Military rank promotion occurs once every three years."

"If there are no accidents, we will all be promoted this year."

"But our merit has been taken away, and it is no longer possible for us to be promoted."

Xia Chujian said angrily: "You just let them plunder your military achievements?!"

"Why don't you sue? If you sue the military department, none of those people will get any good results!"

Sanyadi said calmly: "If there were more of us, those people would not dare to do this."

"But there are only three of us, plus Sun Jiahao, Li Dali, Xu Teng and Chen Yansheng, there are seven people in total."

"Among them, only Chen Yansheng's military merits have not been robbed. None of the six of us are on the list of military merits."

"I felt really aggrieved at the time, thinking that if we just took it away without knowing it, we would fight to the death!"

"But we found that although we no longer have merit to be promoted, we have been given a lot of compensation."

"For example, we and our family, including close relatives within three generations, have all become citizens."

"They all received several million Beichen coins as rewards, and each family was given a house on Beichen Star."

"According to our own family, we will not be able to earn these things in another three lifetimes."

"Even if our military merits are not taken away, it will be difficult to obtain these things."

"After everyone thought about it, they acquiesced."

"This is not taking away, but exchanging."

"It's just that after that, maybe the military merit that was exchanged was too great. Maybe those people were too embarrassed to continue serving in the same Star Fleet with us, so they all transferred us to the Fourth Star Fleet."

"At that time, the Fourth Starfleet was actually the slowest among the five Starfleets, and everyone thought that was fine."

"Anyway, there is no military merit if you work hard, so why do you work hard? - It's better to go to the Fourth Star Fleet and lie down."

"In the end, less than a year later, the Zerg army invaded the Beichen Galaxy. The Fourth Interstellar Fleet, the fleet with the worst combat effectiveness, was the first to be sent to the front line of Shaofu Star, which was closest to the Zerg army..."

There was no longer a bitter smile on Sanyadi's face, only numbness.

Xia Chujian understood their last resort.

The noble pilots on the other side did not intend to kill them all at that time, and gave them a lot of material compensation.

These compensations are a great fortune for ordinary people.

If their military functions are exchanged for a good life for their families, they are still willing.
