Evolution Beyond the Stars Volume 1: The Beginning of Eden 01457 Under the Deep Waters Farien Sailer Kupayin is one of the few Qihuang people on Titan. This ethnic group once served as the first colonizers of the solar system on all major planets.
Unfortunately, due to some reason, the Qihuang people, who have dark skin and have a pair of natural eyes that can see what's going on in the dark under water, have continued to decline in their ability to reproduce.
Today, there may not even be a thousand Qihuang people in the entire solar system.
Kupayin is the youngest male in this mysterious tribe, and the last Qihuang tribesman born in the tribe’s records. However, the sparse number of tribesmen does not make them double in value like other commodities. On the contrary, the Qihuang tribesmen are not good at accumulating wealth.
, so most of the time the people of this tribe are in poverty, and some can only rely on fishing in the sea to maintain their most basic survival.
However, Ku Payin, who has lived on Titan for more than 20 years, has not yet fallen into such poverty, but the monstrous flood a few months ago almost destroyed everything for him.
Previous dives yielded nothing, mostly discarded and useless debris.
The wealthy gentleman was slowly passing by on a luxurious dual-purpose yacht. When he saw the tanned Kupayin, a fair-skinned and beautiful girl with charming long burgundy hair smiled at him and said
"Hey, little brother, I heard that they are recruiting people to search for things in the pit ahead. Why don't you go and take a look?"
Kupayin, who was fascinated by this extremely beautiful girl, immediately calmed down after hearing this and drove the boat to follow the big ship. After all, just looking at the girl was not enough, he had to work hard for his own life.
.
After following the slow ship all the way to the waters that were designated as restricted areas, Ku Payin was dumbfounded. After looking at the fully armed mercenaries walking on the water, Ku Payin finally realized that he had been tricked.
As expected, the beautiful girl couldn't stand up straight with laughter when she realized that Ku Payin was really stupid enough to follow her.
Ku Panyin was also laughing, but it was a sneer. He thought to himself, 'Little girl, just wait, sooner or later I will press you on the bed and rub you!'
However, this method of venting his heart was too tight for Ah Q, so Ku Payin could only sigh and turn around to leave.
But he stopped again when he heard a cheer and saw the man who broke the water holding something high in his hand.
The twisted and deformed thing looked like the same junk... Even if it wasn't, it was just a piece of twisted scrap metal at most. However, the man who dived into the water to get the thing held it high as if he had found a treasure, and at the same time the people around him exclaimed.
Cheering as if finding a great treasure.
Without resorting to cutting-edge equipment and relying solely on manpower to search, Ku Paeyin felt that these guys were no different from him, and thought to himself that since they could all find the treasure, wouldn't I be able to give it a try too?
But how could Kupayin know that the reason why these mercenaries from the Military God Seven chose manual salvage was because the waters in this area were filled with unstable electromagnetic interference, which directly caused various underwater salvage devices to become
So for a whole month, the Seven-man Army God Group has made no progress. At least they haven't found the body of their boss Lai Shuming, and they don't know who killed their boss.
But a piece of twisted metal that looked like scrap metal was found, and Yuan Chongxu, the second-in-command of the Military God Seven, whose eyes had finally brightened, had already killed no less than seven of his deceitful subordinates.
The things were moved over, and the young man, who was panting like an ox, slumped aside. The doctor was injecting him medicine to help him regain his strength.
Yuan Chongxu did not move, so naturally someone under his command came forward to check.
After determining what this thing was, the middle-aged man in charge of the inspection exchanged a look with a gloomy face with his friend who was also inspecting the thing. Then he stood up and reported, "Mr. Yuan, this should be Ustana alloy.
It is usually used to cover the high-end kinetic energy weapons of military special operations companies. It can provide several times the defensive effect of a thinking tank. It is a licensed military product that cannot be found on the black market."
After hearing such a report, Yuan Chongxu's eyes became much hotter.
military?
Ha...what a military-grade product.
Although Yuan Chongxu is not as resourceful as Pang Tianran, the third person in the group of seven, and he is not as capable as his eldest brother Lai Shuming in terms of controlling people, he is the most brave and unparalleled person in the group of seven.
But on the day when Lai Shuming and Zou Yuanyang were killed, Yuan Chongxuyuan was performing an escort mission at the boundary of the solar system.
As a result, just after completing the mission and returning to Neptune, he received the bad news from Pang Tianran. His eldest brother Lai Shuming was actually killed on Titan. Also killed were more than a hundred core elite members of the Military God Seven.
Such a loss directly caused the Military God Seven to drop from the fifth mercenary group in the solar system to just outside the tenth position, and it also caused the entire mercenary group to become distraught. If Pang Tianran hadn't straightened up the number two man Yuan Chongxu in time, this would have happened.
The family fortune that has been accumulated for decades will be wiped out in one fell swoop.
After Yuan Chongxu became the boss of the Seven Military Gods, he immediately suspended all the mercenary group's operations in the solar system and recalled all the elites, as if he vowed to crush his enemies into powder. But when this menacing revenge army arrived,
When he was on Titan, Pang Tianran, a military advisor, told him... Due to the sudden unknown disaster on Titan, the area where the war was going on at that time had been taken over by the authorities, and judging from the current situation, it was really difficult to determine who was responsible.
hand.
After hearing such feedback, Yuan Chongxu naturally would not give up. He was willing to wait, and he had to wait!
Pang Tianran is very aware of the relationship between Yuan Chongxu and Lai Shuming. They are not only two key figures in the Military God Seven, but also sworn brothers for decades. Now that the eldest brother has been killed, how can Yuan Chongxu, as the younger brother, not
Escalating business into personal vendetta?
However, the mercenary group's thousands of people still have to live. Once the business completely stops and other mercenary groups intervene, it will be difficult for the Military God Seven to turn around again.
So he and Yuan Chongxu discussed a compromise, that is, to bite the fat of Zou Yuanyang and not let go, and simply take over the job of revenge for Zou Yuanyang.
I have to say that military advisors are smarter.
Zou Yuanyang only has a son and a daughter. His son left the group a few years ago and became the chief executive of a top city on Venus with a clean identity. This was originally an advance plan for Zou Yuanyang to "wash out the black and white".
The preset layout, but now that Zou Yuanyang is dead, his son Zou Feng can only watch helplessly, and Zou Yuanyang never expected that he could not be of any help.
Fortunately, Zou Yuanyang also has a daughter, Zou Wanyun, who is much smarter than her.
This woman had been responsible for taking care of all kinds of trivial and tedious matters for her father when Zou Yuanyang was still alive. Now that Zou Yuanyang is dead, Zou Wanyun naturally takes over and continues to steer the smuggling ship.
However, it seems that Zou Wanyun's takeover has gone smoothly, but after all, Zou Yuanyang is the one who knows best which reefs his ship needs to avoid and which waters he is accustomed to traveling in.
Therefore, there were many problems in the initial takeover work. The government, which had planned to take this opportunity to completely clean up this cancer, also took the opportunity to increase its efforts to suppress the Zou family's smuggling business. Such internal and external dilemmas forced Zou Wanyun to temporarily put down The personal grudge of avenging his father was turned into stabilizing the interests of the family group.
At this time, Pang Tianran's voice that he wanted to take revenge was like "giving help in the snow."
But when he asked for 2 billion Asian stars, Zou Wanyun still underestimated the appetite of these "darts".
After several rounds of negotiations with no results, Zou Wanyun simply released the reward and directly asked other mercenary groups interested in serving the Zou family to bid.
In this way, the price was really brought down. But in the end, through Pang Tianran's mediation, the business fell into the hands of the Military God Seven.
Having money is like having military pay when fighting a war.
Those who initially had objections to Yuan Chongxu all shut up, and each of them even patted their chests and said that they would definitely catch that ignorant bastard and tear his enemy alive.
Naturally, Yuan Chongxu would not really believe these profit-seeking guys. Originally, the mercenary system in the entire solar system was a large network of interests. The reason why the government did not completely block the mercenaries' livelihood was because they felt that the solar system was now very important to the government. It's still a bit too big. Since we can't control it, we might as well legalize and standardize it.
But who doesn’t know what kind of people can become mercenaries? Take Yuan Chongxu himself as an example.
It is true that he is a veteran, but he is not a retired veteran, but a traitor who killed his immediate boss and led the troops to trigger a mutiny! But he is not a traitor under the rule of the Yaxing Republic, but a warlord who has been recaptured by the Changge Army. A traitor appeared under his command. But no matter what, once the mark of a traitor is laid, people will be wary of him wherever he goes. So Yuan Chongxu, who originally planned to take a group of his brothers to defect to the Changge Army, eventually became the head of a mercenary group. .
"You did a good job, go down and get the money." Yuan Chongxu is not as smooth in controlling people as his elder brother, Lai Shuming, but he has clear rewards and punishments and has his own methods.
The young man who found the piece of metal just now finally had some color on his pale face when he heard this. He took off his respirator and smiled at Yuan Chongxu, "Thank you, boss."
Yuan Chongxu waved his hand, then frowned and asked, "It's been three days, and this is all you have gained?"
The deputy is a shrewd and capable woman, her name is Liu Yeqing, nicknamed Zhuyeqing, she is a woman who is devoted to Yuan Chongxu.
"The interference under water is too strong. A lot of the cutting-edge equipment from the government expedition team sank when it went down, and dozens of people died. Otherwise, they wouldn't have let us come in to intervene."
Yuan Chongxu didn't care about the government's attitude or how many people died. He only knew that he only had seven days. This was the deadline set by the commander of the Saturn Guards above his head who commanded more than a dozen starships, not him. The leader of this small mercenary group can resist.
Now that three days have passed without any substantial gains, Yuan Chongxu begins to become impatient.
Liu Yeqing saw Yuan Chongxu's thoughts, and she whispered, "Don't worry, boss, I have arranged for people to find people from the Qihuang tribe who are good at water. I believe there will be results soon."
Yuan Chongxu was silent, he nodded, and that was the only solution for now.
…
On the other side, Ku Payin, who had no idea what this large group of people were looking for, had quietly dived into the water.
Hidden under his bamboo raft is a second-hand diving suit that he bought for thousands of Asian stars.
This full-coverage diving suit can help him dive to a depth of up to 500 meters. Kupa Yin relies on this thing to salvage old gadgets everywhere.
But after several days of hard work, Ku Paeyin found that his actual results were far worse than he had imagined.
Moreover, after the disaster, Titan's entire ecosystem seemed to have changed. While diving, he even saw some very huge shadows swimming past in the distance.
But wealth lies in danger, and Kupa Yin, whose entire fortune hangs on this second-hand diving suit, must take risks.
He bit his respirator, checked the oxygen content and the status of the auxiliary diving system, and then began to try to enter the blocked water area underwater.
The infiltration process went smoothly, and Ku Payin even felt that he did not need to dive below 20 meters to easily enter the blocked waters.
But not long after entering the blocked waters, Kupanyin discovered that there were many people in this area who were trying to sneak into the depths to hunt for treasure, and the equipment they carried was far more advanced than his.
As a member of the Qihuang tribe, Ku Payin can see all this clearly with her amazing underwater vision.
After hiding in the darkness for a while, Kupayin found that no one noticed him, so he continued to dive.
Generally speaking, the depth that humans can dive depends on the weight of the diving pendant carried by the person and the pressure limit of the human body. But with the auxiliary diving device, Kupa Yin's body was completely numb, and the entire descent was
The diving process is like playing on a slide.
But this is underwater after all, and the deeper you go, the more dangerous it becomes.
Once something went wrong with the equipment Kupanyin was wearing, he might be crushed to death by the powerful water pressure in an instant.
Seeing that the diving depth reached 200 meters, Kupayin stopped diving.
He hesitated a little. This place seemed to be much deeper than he imagined, and the light here had completely disappeared. He could only rely on a special sonar device to ensure that he remained on the axis of his dive. As for the field of vision, even the Qihuang tribe
, he is also a blind man in a place with no light at all.
Fortunately, with the rapid advancement of science and technology, humans have already developed special lighting devices that can be used to see what's going on in deep water.
It is a magical prop that cannot be seen with the naked eye after being opened on land. The light it emits has a spectrum outside the human visual range. Although it is invisible to the naked eye, it is extremely penetrating and reflective.
, can effectively generate underwater images. However, this image generation also requires a very expensive equipment to assist.
Kupayin is very poor, he doesn't have that much money to buy that kind of thing, but he is from the Qihuang tribe.
The biggest advantage of the Qihuang people is that their visual range is much wider than that of ordinary people, and they can see a lot of light that ordinary people cannot see.
Like now, the underwater world in Ku Payin's eyes has turned into a world of glass.
All that remains is the outline.
When he found a treasure hunter who had also snuck here passing by not far in front of him, he subconsciously took a step back in the water.
But the other party turned a blind eye to him, like a phantom, and dived deeper in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this scene, Ku Payin understood that he was still some distance away from the excavation site, so he continued to dive deeper.
When we reached 350 meters underwater, Kupayin finally hit the bottom.
At this time, his heart rate had reached 120 beats per minute, and his expression was extremely nervous.
This was his first time diving into such a deep water, and he found that there were many large diving equipment sunk in this area, which must have been left behind by the people above him.
After paying attention to the oxygen reserve, Kupanyin began to hunt for treasure underwater.
Ku Panyin is very experienced in this aspect. He will not dig through pits one by one and then sift through them like a gold digger. Instead, he will swim directly to the bottom of the water like a fish, with his gaze like a radar along the way.
Scan and do not miss any suspicious target.
The advantage of doing this is that it is very efficient and it is easy to find valuable things, but the disadvantage is...
"Ah!" Just when he was swimming happily, a pale dead face suddenly appeared in front of him.
Kupa Yin was so frightened that he almost spit out his respirator.
Fortunately, it was just a corpse and not a water ghost, otherwise Ku Payin might have to explain it here.
Kupayin, who was still frightened, thought to herself, 'Why are there corpses here?'
Just as he was thinking about it, when he looked forward again, Ku Payin couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
'I'll kill you! Is this a battlefield?'
In the darkness ahead, dozens of corpses were densely deposited. They seemed to have been squeezed into a corner by the impact, and now they were entangled with each other and piled on top of each other.
Ku Payin calmed down and quietly cheered himself up, "They're all dead, they're all dead...it's okay...it's okay..."
As he talked, he continued to move forward, but not long after swimming, he found that there seemed to be a person standing in front of him, staring at him.
At that time, Ku Payin felt like he had hit a ghost. Now he regrets it and hates why he took the risk. Now his legs are shaking with fear. Can he still return to the surface alive?
While Ku Payin was trying to embolden himself, two other divers and salvage personnel discovered the body that was still standing until death.
At that time, both parties rushed towards the corpse without hesitation.
Ku Payin stayed close to the ground and was not noticed by the two people. He was secretly thankful and at the same time began to hesitate whether to take the opportunity to escape.
But when he noticed a warhammer as tall as a man standing in front of the dead body, he realized that the opportunity to make a fortune had come! It would be a big loss to escape now!
So Kupayin lay dormant, waiting for the two of them to fight over the warhammer, which would be the time for him to reap the benefits.
Kupa Yin was very good at calculating, but he didn't notice at all that a huge creature was slowly approaching behind him.
The two salvagers swimming towards the war hammer as if they were desperate did not notice the approaching danger, but when one of them touched the war hammer with his hand, the whole world in front of him... instantly went dark...
