Chapter 249 The Beauty and the Boss's Love and Career (1 words)
On the remote and desolate edge of a galaxy, there is a planet called Kronos.
Here, yellow sand fills the sky, and the wind howls. As far as the eye can see, there is only decay and desolation.
The few towns scattered around are dilapidated, their buildings crumbling under the erosion of wind and sand.
What is little known is that deep within this barren land lie vast mineral resources and precious gold.
However, due to outdated technology and inconvenient transportation, these treasures remained buried deep underground, unable to bring prosperity to the planet.
In the afternoon, the sunlight generously poured into this small courtyard.
A man with long, flowing hair leaned lazily against a rickety deck chair in his own backyard.
The recliner seemed to be overburdened, creaking and groaning with every slight movement, as if telling the story of the vicissitudes of time.
Suddenly, the light brain on the man's wrist emitted a sharp beep without warning, shattering the tranquility of the courtyard.
Immediately afterwards, lines of striking red text flashed rapidly on the floating projection screen of the quantum computer:
[Breaking News! Federation and Imperial forces, in coordinated operations, have successfully destroyed a large space pirate hideout!]
At the same time, a rousing and powerful synthesized voice emanated from the quantum computer:
"Fellow interstellar citizens, the following is a special report."
With the help of an enthusiastic individual, the joint military operation between the Federation and the Empire achieved a major victory.
They successfully destroyed the long-standing lair of space pirates.
The man's eyes sharpened, and he sat up straight, his gaze fixed on the personal computer screen.
"The successful execution of this operation was inseparable from the crucial role played by a mysterious, anonymous, and enthusiastic individual."
For months, this person has been providing detailed intelligence to the intelligence services of the Federation and the Empire.
After arduous investigation and repeated verification by intelligence personnel from both sides, the location of the pirates' lair was finally pinpointed—the asteroid belt near Beta Lyrae.
For a long time, this area has been a lawless zone for pirates.
They acted recklessly, frequently attacking passing ships and causing great disaster to interstellar traffic and trade.
Countless interstellar travelers perished here.
"Moreover, this enthusiastic individual also provided highly valuable tactical planning advice."
With its help, the Federation fleet dispatched a new type of Dreadnought-class warship.
This type of warship uses state-of-the-art energy fusion technology.
The quantum pulse cannon it is equipped with can release powerful energy instantly, possessing destructive power capable of destroying the world.
The Imperial Army deployed its prized Shadow Fighter squadron.
These fighter jets utilize nanotechnology for stealth, making them not only extremely fast but also exceptionally agile.
The two armies precisely assembled in space according to plan, forming a tight net that quickly created a comprehensive encirclement of the pirate stronghold.
"..."
Just as the man was engrossed in this breaking news, a blinding ray of light suddenly ripped through the clear sky.
Immediately afterwards, a deafening roar exploded, like the chaotic roar at the beginning of time.
The man looked up in astonishment and saw a massive mech plummeting at an alarming speed.
His entire body was enveloped in raging flames, like a shooting star about to burn out.
In order to protect its companions, the mech's energy system was almost paralyzed, and its power core was on the verge of exploding.
But in order to find a glimmer of hope, it exhausted its last bit of energy and forced its way out of the atmosphere, plunging headlong into the ground.
The mech landed precisely near a nearby mine.
The moment it landed, the earth trembled violently as if struck by a heavy hammer, and the surrounding sand and gravel were thrown into the air by the powerful impact, forming a cloud of dust that blotted out the sun.
Just as Yun Suisi got up, preparing to investigate the direction where the mecha had crashed, a figure rushed in from outside the courtyard gate in a great hurry.
"Boss, boss, something terrible has happened! Someone has trespassed on our territory!"
The person shouted at the top of their lungs, their face full of anxiety and panic, and they almost tripped over the threshold in their hurried steps.
Yun Suisi paused, his brows furrowing instantly into a deep frown, a hint of displeasure flashing across his face.
He slowly turned around, his gaze piercing like a knife as he looked at the newcomer.
"..."
Yun Suisi took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and said irritably:
"Could you please keep your voice down? Your loud voice is making my ears explode."
Besides, I'm not blind yet; of course I saw someone break in.
The man then realized his lapse in composure, quickly raised his hand to cover his mouth, his eyes wide open, revealing a cautious expression.
After a moment, he timidly spoke again:
"Boss, what... what do we do now? That mech looks like it has a powerful background, you can tell from the show just now."
Yun Suisi raised his hand and rubbed his temples, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.
He walked to the side, bent down to pick up his coat from the ground, and neatly put it on, saying as he buttoned it:
"What's the panic? No matter how powerful they are, their mechs are in such a sorry state now, what trouble can they possibly cause?"
Let's go take a look.
With that, he lifted his leg and walked towards the courtyard gate.
The man hurriedly followed behind Yun Suisi, muttering to himself:
"Boss, I've heard that some interstellar criminals are capable of anything when they're being hunted. Should we bring more men with us?"
Yun Suisi continued walking without turning his head and said:
"With your cowardice, why would you bring any men?"
Go check out the situation first. Don't act like you've never seen anything like this before and embarrass me.
The two quickly walked out of the courtyard and headed towards the mine, leaving a trail of dust behind them that lingered for a long time.
The closer you get to the mine, the more the air is filled with a pungent, burnt smell.
The crashed mech lay there like a silent behemoth, with a huge crater in the ground around it.
Before even getting close to the mecha, Yun Suisi could see his subordinates already on guard all around.
Armed, they stared intently at the wreckage.
"Boss! You've finally arrived!"
A burly man, looking anxious, quickly stepped forward.
"how is the situation?"
Yun Suisi's expression was cold and stern as he scanned the crowd.
The burly man scratched his head and replied somewhat nervously:
"Boss, we just arrived not long ago, and this mech landed like a shooting star, making a huge commotion."
We dared not approach easily, for fear of some danger.
As he spoke, several more subordinates gathered around, all respectfully greeting him, "Boss!"
"Boss Yun!"
Yun Suisi nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the crowd and landing on the wrecked mecha.
As they approached, the scene before them was shocking.
The mecha's outer shell peeled off in large areas, breaking into metal pieces of varying sizes scattered all around, as if it had been subjected to a devastating metal storm.
These fragments have jagged edges, some bearing the twisted marks of being scorched by high temperatures, and shimmer with a cold, hard, and chaotic light in the sunlight.
The mecha's right arm was almost completely detached, barely connected to the main body by a few exposed wires that flickered with electricity, and hung limply to the side.
Of the two energy cannons on his shoulders, one was completely destroyed, its barrel twisted into a bizarre shape, the dark muzzle seemingly silently telling the story of the severe damage it had suffered.
Another cannon broke off, with half of it falling to the ground, its complex internal parts scattered all over the place, like a disassembled jigsaw puzzle.
The cockpit windows were completely shattered, turning into a pile of glittering fragments.
The hatch was severely deformed, with one side rolled outwards, as if it had been forcibly torn open by an irresistible force.
Looking through the broken hatch, the instrument panel on the control panel was shattered.
Various indicator lights flashed erratically, emitting a buzzing electrical sound, like the dying wails of a mecha.
