Extreme Star Domain, Demet Star Zone, Pandora Galaxy, Pai Shang Star
In a sense, Pai Shangxing is actually a world of death.
Although it has a long history, the Ministry of the Interior has no way to examine the past history. They only know that this planet was baptized by war in the years of the Horus Rebellion, but the worlds they encountered were countless, so Pai Shangxing became an insignificant and forgotten world with only a little value.
It was not until three thousand years after the Horus Rebellion that the first colonists set foot in this world.
Most of the surface of Pai Shangxing is dense jungle, and many lizard-like creatures born during this period will be happy to eat anything that can move, and large predators of the same characteristics live in the ocean.
Because of the dangers that exist in the lowlands and oceans, the human settlers on Pai Shang Star all live in mining colonies on the top of the mountain, which locals call these fortresses of underground explorers, where hardworking people carefully mine precious ore from the barren lands on the planet’s mountains.
There are as many as hundreds of such fortresses scattered on the planet, most of which live no more than a thousand people.
The only important city of Pai Shangxing is Attica, the port of Chaodu, located on the shore of the planet's largest ocean, surrounded by the appropriately named Death Swamp on one side of the land.
Attica is a small roaring TC city. Its main residential area is located in the upper dome structure, overlooking the surrounding swamps. The traffic between it and various underground explorer fortresses is carried out through a simple floating spacecraft, called an air barge.
Due to its low value, the guards of Pai Shangxing are naturally not much better. Attica has only three garrison sites, stationed by hundreds of soldiers from the 183rd Regiment of Katachang, as well as a star-word tower, a basic orbital defense grid, a naval supply station, a small legal department fortress, and other dusty offices of subordinate administrative departments, but few of these offices are on duty.
This quota for Pai Shangxing is not surprising. This is the arrangement of the secondary star area. Therefore, maintaining operation in this state is a difficult task. People living here also try to keep a low profile, rather than provoking ghosts and monsters outside the world at will.
But recently, Pai Shangxing seems a little abnormal.
Although no one could tell where the abnormality occurred, the air began to become more dull, the animals in the jungle were restless, and even the sea became rough.
But only those living on the highest level of the dome know that the real change comes from the dark void—
The Governor of Pai Shangxing Attico Delgado ran along the corridor, his heart pounding.
The stress has been squeezing his body for weeks, and he hasn't had a good sleep for a long time and has always had insomnia.
When he paused in a hurry for a rare moment, he would cover his face with his hands and feel himself trembling.
The Governor walked to the sliding door and pressed the password.
The door opened and he entered the coordination room in it, where there were already dozens of people, more than the limits of the design.
They yelled, looking like they were going to fight, and there were people pushing each other on the table.
Atisak pushed them away, looking for his assistant Ur Dahl.
He walked towards them, and bypassed the terrified and angry crowds, and Ur smiled tiredly when he saw him coming.
"You're back, sir."
Atisak nodded, noting the smell of sweat from the other person, but it was not his fault - they were trapped in this unventilated room for a long time.
The star talker Xuelazade Fare also nodded perfunctorily. She was not the type who was good at speaking.
The Governor looked at her with concern.
"What did you find?"
The Starsman shook his head.
"All nodes in the galaxy are closed, just like ours."
Her voice trembled continuously, mainly due to fatigue, but others might mistakenly think of fear.
"This is not right, it shouldn't be."
Atisak will not easily allow problems on this planet. Pai Shangxing's Governor is not a family system, but an electoral system. But he has grown up in this world all his life, and he has devoted his life to ensuring Pai Shangxing's products can survive, transport and trade with the highest efficiency.
He controls the power of life and death on the entire planet, and exercises this power more than once, but it is all for the purpose of maintaining the stability of the star seeking.
The smooth operation of the colony is the whole of his life.
"The Governor is right, and all the Astrology nodes should not be extinguished."
The justice of the Ministry of Justice came over, and his black windbreaker looked greasy under the dim light.
"Then you can try to find it yourself."
Faced with the sarcastic voice, the Star Speech retorted without mercy:
"See if there are any nodes that are still running."
"Everyone is calm, we have to work together now."
Governor Atisak tried to calm himself down.
"So, so what I know so far is that, internal communications, failures, orbital networks, failures, galaxy patrol fleets, missing, subspace nodes in the void may have something running, but it will take several hours to find out."
“Attica’s main scan array is still in operation.”
Gordon Drag, the head of the mechanical creator of Pai Shangxing, dragged his metal four-legged walk over.
He regarded this series of problems as technical issues, and felt a little happy with its profoundness.
"Maybe it's the electromagnetic storm of stars."
"Electromagnetic pulse burst? It's unlikely, this can't explain everything, like the Star Worder."
The Star Word Supervisor Sherazade remembers what she saw in the ancient steel Star Word Tower south of the main defense station. She vomited for a long time and found that there was a worse way to die than being caught in the blade of the automatic threshing machine.
The three apprentices in Xingyu Tower were all dead, and the bodies were evenly applied to the wall, as if they were run over by a Riemanlus.
"The last information we received was only a few oral manuscripts recorded by the automatic typewriter. Most of them were standard star-language dreams, but then everything became wrong and I couldn't understand anything. One of them started to draw, draw some, things... all were terrible."
However, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs seemed increasingly impatient.
"The news spread, Attica has two million residents, once they start panic-"
“No one is panic.”
Atisac said firmly, and turned to look at the defense chief in the Niaodu.
"Where is Colonel Stryker?"
"Recently, cultist riots have occurred in several Explorer Fortresses. He led his team out to suppress it. According to the news sent back, it has ended and is now rushing back. I guess it will arrive soon."
