Swallowed Star: Drawing Talents

“XXXXXX……”

A string of universal language echoed within the command center.

On the control console screen in the command center, a woman with green hair suddenly appeared, staring intently at Yang Wu and Luo Feng, who had barged in.

“Yang Wu, ignore it, quickly insert the signal device into the left side of the console, in that green slot,” Babata said.

Yang Wu took out the signal device and, following Babata's instructions, inserted it into the green slot.

“Beep—beep—beep—”

An ear-piercing alarm immediately sounded throughout the command center, and a large number of characters quickly appeared on the control console screen.

“Damn it, there really is a self-destruct program!”

With Yang Wu's previous reminder, Babata went all out from the start to invade, but the spaceship's intelligent system quickly activated the self-destruct program.

This made Babata almost burst into a torrent of curses.

Without the password, even as an intelligent life form, it couldn't crack the intelligent system in a mere 30 seconds, and could only helplessly destroy the intelligent system.

Under the overwhelming influx of data, the ear-piercing alarm echoed, lights flickered incessantly, and electric sparks flew on the console.

Bang!

A sound like a light bulb exploding was heard, and the entire control console screen turned pitch black.

“Alas, the consequence of a barbaric destruction is the damage to the entire spaceship's intelligent system, and the burning out of many transmission systems.”

In the virtual space on his wrist, Babata said helplessly, clearly feeling somewhat disheartened by this unfavorable start.

It had spoken so confidently before, but what it got in return was a result that couldn't be considered a win.

“Fortunately, with your reminder, Yang Wu, I protected some important systems in advance, but even so, it will take more than half a year to repair.”

Babata originally wanted to crack and control the spaceship's intelligent system using a gentle method, but the conditions didn't allow it; to prevent the spaceship from exploding, it could only destroy it forcefully.

“It doesn't matter, it's good enough that we can keep the spaceship; we can totally afford to wait a few months.”

Yang Wu comforted Babata slightly; compared to the one or two years it took in the original story, being able to repair it in a few months was already very good.

After resolving the spaceship explosion crisis, Yang Wu and the others began to take stock of their gains.

The biggest gain this time was this Black Dragon spaceship.

Due to being parked for too long, for hundreds of thousands of years, even with those three robots maintaining it, most of the weapons had also lost their function.

“A great harvest, this time……”

Inside the command center, Yang Wu looked at the three Silverstream Guards, which were excellent bodyguard robots.

Their lethality wasn't very strong, but once they were entangled, even a Universe level expert would have to spend some time to get rid of them.

“The energy of these three Silverstream Guards has long been exhausted; I wonder if my stored energy crystals are compatible.”

“Yang Wu, I'll take the Silverstream Guards first and repair them to see if they can be used,” Babata said, and the three Silverstream Guards disappeared from the spot.

“When you go to the universe, if you bring the Silverstream Guards, others will know at a glance that you are important figures, and they won't dare to provoke you casually.”

Afterward, looking at the relics left behind by the deceased officer in front of him, Yang Wu's mind moved, and he directly collected the rings, weapons, and other relics.

After all, being able to buy a Black Dragon Mountain X81 model spaceship and afford Silverstream Guards meant they were important figures even in the Milky Way.

After taking stock of their gains, the two followed the path they came from, easily passed through the laser corridor, and arrived outside the spaceship.

Whoosh!

The black saucer-shaped spaceship instantly disappeared; Babata had stored it away, preparing to repair it.

“By the way, Luo Feng, Yang Wu, I'll collect those warship wrecks when we get out; with these materials, the spaceship can be repaired faster.”

“In addition, you can purchase some spaceship wreckage from other forces; it may also help with repairing the spaceship.”

“Okay, thank you, Babata,” Yang Wu said.

“Hehe, it's a small matter.”

“Just wait for me to take you to adventure in the universe.”

Babata chuckled, then said seriously.

“The vast universe is where the strong should venture; Earth and the Milky Way are too small, too small.”

“If you want to grow quickly, you will have to enter the universe sooner or later.”

“Let's go! There's nothing good to stay here for.”

“Swoosh!”

The two traversed outward along the mothership's passage, quickly left the seabed, and then rushed out of the sea, flying into the intelligent fighter jet that had been hovering over the sea.

The intelligent fighter jet transformed into a stream of light, rapidly flying towards the direction of China.

……

While Yang Wu and the others were searching for the Black Dragon spaceship underwater, humanity was also actively preparing for the counterattack war.

Since the last War God Palace meeting, which decided to launch a full-scale counterattack war against the monsters, the human high command had formulated a detailed operational plan for the war.

Due to the current gap between humans and monsters, which was not only reflected in the top combat power but also in the incalculable number of monsters.

Therefore, this full-scale counterattack war would undoubtedly be an inevitable protracted war.

Thus, the entire plan was divided into three major stages.

First stage: Mark the monsters, pinpoint and eliminate.

Second stage: Regain land sovereignty, defend sea monsters.

Third stage: Monster elimination plan.

After the Great Cataclysm, the sea was completely occupied by monsters, and only one-fifth of the land belonged to humans.

No one knew how many things the mysterious ocean contained, but the creatures within the ocean were incomparable to those on land.

The vast majority of King-level monsters were born within the sea, even the two Beast Emperors were the same.

The entire operational plan, as long as it could complete the second stage of the plan, with humans regaining land sovereignty and forming a confrontation with the sea monsters, would be a great victory.

As for the third stage of monster elimination, even with Yang Wu, Hong, and Thunder God standing on the platform, humanity's confidence was actually insufficient, and they did not have much hope.

The goal of the first stage was mainly to monitor the King-level monsters on land and in the ocean, and to eliminate those King-level monsters on land in one go.

First, sweep the land, eliminate worries, and then entangle with the sea monsters, so as not to be attacked from both sides.

Previously, in order to monitor the movements of those King-level monsters at all times, humans had to know the opponent's location and information in advance, and then record the opponent's life information, so that they could continue to track them.

But this large-scale detection of King-level monsters did not need to be as troublesome as before; the major forces on Earth contributed some precious instruments obtained from ancient civilization relics.

After the War God Palace meeting, this first stage of exploration work was handed over to the five major powers to complete.

February 10, 2059.

On this day, humans finally quietly deployed detection equipment that could detect various life information on a large scale without alarming any King-level monsters.

The first stage of the counterattack plan was completed.
