I am the highest civilization in the universe

The unique feature of this building is its crystalline appearance, which is as smooth as a glass surface, as if the entire building is composed of many irregular mirrors. This kind of building is also unique among this group of buildings.

Such a unique building made Drew couldn't help but take a second look, because buildings with this kind of shape and material can only be found in one place, and that is where silicon-based life lives, but why it exists here is unknown.

When you came to the gate at the bottom of the building, you walked in. After passing the first gate, you came to a hall. There were no extra facilities in the hall. Except for the circular pillar in the middle, there were aliens and robots all around.

Of course, there is a portal on each circular pillar.

Drew glanced around, quickly locked on one of the pillars, and then walked over quickly.

When he came to the pillar, Drew turned around, glanced at the two soldiers, and said, "Wait for me here."

Then he turned around and tapped lightly on the pillar, only to see that a portal had appeared. Drew smiled slightly, pulled Merrill up and said, "Let's go."

The two of them then entered the pillar in a flash.

When the light flashed again, Drew and Merrill appeared in a room together. The whole room was not big, a hundred square meters of space, and the surrounding walls seemed to be made of glass. They were all transparent. From here, you can overlook the entire base. .

But the top of the head was not completely transparent. Drew looked around and slowed down his pace. As he walked inside little by little, he suddenly stopped.

I saw an alien standing in front of a meteorite table deep in front. The alien was looking into the distance behind the seat. Through the transparent wall, in the distance was the parking place of the spacecraft.

Drew stood motionless and did not disturb the other party.

The alien looked at it for a while before turning back and looking at Drew and Merrill, as if he already knew that they had entered this place.

Drew also narrowed his eyes and looked at the aliens opposite. The surfaces of their bodies were actually made of crystal blocks. They were silicon-based beings that had acquired the power of transformation.

Merrill still had a calm expression on his face. He recognized the person in front of him at a glance, and even whispered: "Demis..."

Demis smiled slightly at first, but after looking at Drew, he said, "Didn't Fletcher come back?"

Drew quickly bowed his head and said: "Because the defense issue has not been resolved, Master Fletcher was unable to return in time, so he asked his subordinates to take his place."

Demis took a deep breath, then sighed slightly and said, "Yes, after all, Fletcher is from Mante, and the order for me, the boss of the Bafo people, is..."

After saying this, Demis did not say any more, but stood up and looked at Merrill, saying: "Okay, let's talk about something else. As the presiding judge, although I am from Bafo, I have always been "Fairness, impartiality, and equal treatment, especially for senior military officers. I have fully investigated and understood Merrill's incident."

At this point, Demis had already come to Merrill's side, staring at him, and whispered: "You should know very well that high-level officials often use some means to play with power, and sometimes I am in trouble in the middle. , as a Bafu man, especially when you are judged by Mantes, the results are often the harshest.”

"Impossible to impose the death penalty as much as possible. This is the instruction given to me by my superiors. As a Bafo man, when trying a Mante man, but... this must be judged based on the facts. It is not my responsibility. Control your life and death."

Demis continued.

Merrill seemed to be a little impatient after hearing this. He glanced at the other party coldly and said, "I already know the result, so you don't have to talk nonsense."

"Oh, is it so?"

Demis was startled, but quickly returned to his seat.

After sitting down slowly, he looked at Merrill and said, "Based on the results of my investigation and our current rules, I have no right to sentence you to death, although I would like to do so."

Merrill was stunned when he heard this, and his eyes opened slightly.

Demis also looked back at the other party and nodded slightly, saying: "Yes, that's it, but now you need to be locked up, so I'd better ask Mr. Drew to send him to prison."

"yes!"

Drew bowed his head and replied.

After responding, Drew turned around and walked out with Merrill, but Merrill looked confused.

Returning to the hall on the ground floor from the portal, Drew looked calm, but Merrill looked puzzled. As soon as he arrived on the first floor, the two soldiers were escorted on both sides of Merrill again.

Drew continued to walk out, but glanced slightly behind him, secretly thinking: "If this is the case... maybe we can take advantage of this guy."

Thinking of this, Drew looked forward again and continued to walk out at a faster pace.

Leaving the crystal building, Drew took Merrill and walked away. Looking down from the top of the crystal building, these people were as small as ants, while Demis stood in front of the transparent wall and watched. And whispered: "Rights are really complicated. This should be enough of an exchange condition."

Not far from the crystal building, Drew took Merrill into a small spaceship.

The spacecraft was not big, just like a bus. As soon as Drew and others got on, the spacecraft took off to a low altitude of more than ten meters, and then flew away.

Although it was small, it flew extremely fast. Drew looked at the screen in the driving area at the front.

The military base is surrounded by desert, which stretches as far as the eye can see. This is somewhat different from the desert. The land here is not sand. Plants will grow in Muir, but the number is very small.

It was gray as far as the eye could see, and there were constant strong winds. Occasionally, huge rocks and sand dunes could be seen.

Merrill lowered his head in his seat, seeming to still be thinking about what just happened.

The spacecraft had not flown out for long before it had already penetrated deep into the desert. There was no clear sign about the prison, but it must be in the desert. The so-called clear sign was that there were no prompts on the driving screen and no target point marked. There is just a path to fly.

After looking at the screen, Drew passed the spacecraft and then looked into the distance. Apart from the deserted sand, there was nothing unusual.

Turning his head slightly, he said: "Isn't it good to be alive? Isn't there...is there anything more important than living?"

Merrill's eyebrows tightened when he heard this, and he slowly raised his head to look at Drew, and couldn't help but whisper: "Alive..."

Drew smiled slightly and said: "So, all the reasons for wanting you to die are just reasons and excuses from others. Your existence involves their interests, so... some people will let you die. , and some people want you to live."

Merrill looked confused when he heard this, and even showed a bit of confusion in his eyes, making him even more puzzled than before.

But at this moment, a burst of fire suddenly shot out from the wind and sand in the distance. The fire was a huge fireball, and it rushed towards the front of the spacecraft. Drew and Merrill were already looking through the transparent windows of the spacecraft. Saw this.

It was just that it was too late by the time the two of them discovered it. Moreover, the spacecraft was like a train, uncontrolled and flying in a straight line.

‘Boom! ’

The fierce flames exploded together with the spacecraft, like a bomb exploding.

The spacecraft was torn apart in an instant, and the exploded wreckage fell from the sky along with the corpse. In just a moment, the area was blazing with flames, thick smoke rose suddenly, and the frame of the spacecraft that was not exploded by the flames fell to the ground like a pile of scrap metal.

The spaceship that was still flying just now suddenly turned into ruins. The sound of burning flames could be heard in the wind, and there were two corpses scattered beside the ruins.

A figure gradually emerged from the wind and sand in the distance. This person was slightly larger, with his head and face covered by a mask, and his back was hunched up, as if he was carrying a turtle shell.

The body was also wrapped in a black cloak. The eyes under the mask looked at the ruins, and then walked quickly over, first coming to one of the corpses, taking a closer look, and his eyes widened a little. Then he immediately ran to another body.

The corpse was lying on its stomach. The man kicked the corpse towards its face. After taking a closer look, his eyes immediately showed a look of surprise, and he looked around at the same time.

"Stop looking for it, it's up there."

Drew's voice came out immediately.

The man was startled and looked up suddenly. He was startled when he saw the figures of Drew and Merrill in the sky. Just when he was about to do something, he saw a few vines suddenly sprouting out of the deserted sand under his feet.

The vines quickly wrapped around his legs and soon reached his upper body, wrapping around his arms and body.

Drew grabbed Merrill and slowly fell back to the ground.

At this time, Drew glanced at Merrill beside him and said, "Did you see that? Some people want you to live, and some people want you to die."

Merrill looked at the angry face of the person opposite him, but when he was about to say something, his eyes immediately noticed the vines wrapped around his body, and then he turned to look at Drew beside him and said, "What are you?" people?!"

Drew snorted lightly and ignored the other party, but said: "We are only talking about your problem now. As for who I am, I will talk about it later."

As he spoke, Drew came to the side of the man opposite him. After smiling slightly, he said, "That's interesting. I thought the Bafo people would let you die, but I didn't expect that the person who really wanted you to die turned out to be Mante people.”

At this point Drew sighed, shook his head, and looked at Merrill.

Merrill was shocked when he heard this, looked at the person opposite, and walked slowly over, raising his hand and taking off the man's mask.

"Ramel?!"

Merrill said in surprise, obviously recognizing the other person at a glance.

The alien named Ramil looked at Merrill with a helpless expression. He said nothing at this time, but slowly lowered his head.

Merrill's eyes showed a hint of anger and he said, "Who asked you to kill me?"

Ramil looked at Merrill, but then lowered his head, as if he had no intention of saying anything. At this time, Drew on the side said: "It's better... let me tell you."
