Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station

After Chen Ming jumped, he successfully entered the space station under the influence of inertia.

The sudden gravity in the space station area made Chen Ming almost fall, but he still landed safely.

Chen Ming did not dare to waste time and quickly identified his location.

He immediately left the dock and ran towards the small warehouse closest to the dock.

Chen Ming had to act quickly this time. God knows how long it would take for the bugs that were attracted to disperse again and scatter in the space station.

Chen Ming ran all the way and soon arrived at the small warehouse.

The metal door of the warehouse has long been destroyed, and the interior is dark.

Chen Ming turned on the flashlight function of the terminal, followed the path under his feet, and walked in carefully.

I can't guarantee that there won't be bugs crouching in this warehouse. Safety is the most important thing.

The warehouse is divided into two areas.

One part stores the equipment and tool components needed to repair the spacecraft, which is Chen Ming's goal.

The other part stores some express packages.

Interstellar Era also has express delivery business.

And because this mining space station is located in an edge star field quite far away from the lush star field with a large number of humans, it is not that easy to go back.

And because there are many mineral asteroids, it is very common for people who work here and people who come here to send some ores as souvenir gifts to relatives and friends.

Therefore, many packages that should be stored in large warehouses according to regulations are often placed in this place very close to the dock, making it convenient for express ship transportation.

In addition, there are also material supplies sent regularly from the outside world, which will be temporarily placed here before being counted and transported to the official warehouse next to the mining area.

So in the end this small warehouse was divided into two areas.

But when Chen Ming walked a certain distance, he discovered that this place should be quite neat, with goods and packages not interfering with each other or affecting each other.

The space station had become a mess during the last chaos thirty years ago, and all kinds of messy packages and cargo were piled up.

Chen Ming could only use his own memory to recall where the components for repairing the spacecraft's mining laser were placed, and try to find them.

After searching in the warehouse for about an hour, Chen Ming finally found a reasonably good-looking box among a pile of debris.

There is a laser-engraved label on the corner of the box with the words "High Intensity Laser Lens" clearly written on it.

Protected by internal cushioning foam, the three high-intensity laser lenses of different sizes inside are still intact even after thirty years.

The things were in hand, but now that they were here, Chen Ming searched around the box where he found the lens.

Not long after, Chen Ming stuffed the low-frequency frequency generator into the small backpack he found in the living cabin.

As the name suggests, this thing is used to transform mining lasers into [cyclic wave oscillation].

As for the laser restraint that Chen Ming now knows is needed for the transformation of the [Gathered Energy Ring], it does not require specially industrialized products as materials.

Basic metal can be used for modification, so Chen Ming did not stay any longer.

More than an hour has passed, and it may be dangerous to stay any longer.

Chen Ming glanced at the contents of his backpack, put it on his back again, and prepared to leave.

When Chen Ming returned to the warehouse exit, he suddenly noticed a half-person-high wooden box in a hidden corner near the exit.

The warehouse was in chaos, but this box was placed here alone and intact. It was hard to believe that there was nothing wrong with it.

So Chen Ming stopped and approached.

The appearance of the box was intact, and it had been specially placed here, but its label was missing, and it was unclear what was stored inside.

After thinking about it, Chen Ming took out the tools he brought with him and started working directly on the box.

Anyway, thirty years have passed, and no one will come to pick up the packages or goods.

Chen Ming pried open the top lid of the box three times and threw the lid aside.

Shine the light of the flashlight in.

The next moment, Chen Ming's eyes couldn't help but widen.

"this!"

Chen Ming couldn't help but exclaimed.

Inside the box is an insect egg wrapped in various cushioning and thermal materials.

Yes, it was the insect eggs that Chen Ming had seen in the central hall of the space station before.

There is no way a bug could lay its eggs in a box and then pack the box and put it in this corner.

Someone in the space station must have discovered the bugs while collecting minerals, obtained the egg samples, and placed them here, but in the end they did not have time to send them out.

Looking at it this way, Chen Ming suddenly felt that the possible reasons for the accident on the space station and the truth behind it were even more bizarre.

This person has known about the existence of bugs for a long time, so he obtained the eggs and wanted to send them somewhere?

Or maybe he simply stumbled upon bugs and discovered that they could survive in a vacuum.

So he thought it was some kind of rare creature. The greed in his heart made him choose to hide it, and planned to return to the human world with the eggs to sell?

If it's the latter, that's okay, but if it's the former, it means that there must be a more terrifying conspiracy behind the destruction of the space station.

Chen Ming stopped thinking about it. Since he had decided to stay away from anything related to the company and the space station, there was no need to explore the reasons. Living well was the most important thing.

After Chen Ming made up his mind, the insect eggs in front of him also began to move under the influence of light and vibration.

Chen Ming did not hesitate, raised his gun and shot it to pieces.

Suddenly, Chen Ming felt a chill from head to toe, as if some danger was coming.

Chen Ming didn't waste any more time and quickly left the warehouse with his backpack.

Just ten seconds after Chen Ming stepped out of the warehouse, Chen Ming suddenly felt the floor of the space station shaking violently.

Looking in the direction of the vibration, behind the damaged building wall, a large number of insects were approaching Chen Ming like crazy.

Chen Ming subconsciously clenched the gun in his hand, but he immediately realized that this was not a problem that a pistol could solve. He quickly threw away his unnecessary thoughts and ran back and forth.

These bugs suddenly appeared to chase me. Could it be that these bugs have a hive mind? A community sharing a consciousness?

He killed the insect egg, so other insects followed him?

Chen Ming didn't know, but he quickened his pace again after feeling the vibration becoming more and more intense.

I always feel like this scene looks a bit familiar.

This thought flashed through Chen Ming's mind for a moment, but he immediately shook it off.

Because he has returned to the dock.

There is nothing here except a few tattered spaceships that were there last time, and the Iron Ore is also missing.

However, Chen Ming did not hesitate for a moment and continued running towards a gap at the edge of the dock.

When he was approaching the edge of the dock and there was only a void in front of him, Chen Ming's footsteps still did not slow down.

At the moment when there was no way ahead, Chen Ming chose to jump into the boundless space.

The crazy bugs behind them didn't care about any external situation at all, and followed Chen Ming to jump out of the gravity range of the space station.

At this time, in order to prevent being discovered by the Zerg, the Iron Ore, which had been hidden for a long time, suddenly flew out from the other corner of the space station.

He stopped in front of Chen Ming and caught Chen Ming.

Its engine then sprayed out a red tail flame and disappeared around the space station.

And those bugs that followed Chen Ming and jumped out of the space station would probably have no choice but to drift in space until they died.
