Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 13 Doomsday Beast?

Main control section —

This place is the safest spot on the Black Tower Space Station. Most people are here, including the navigator Himeko and Station Master Está.

She came to help them, but now it seems they don't need to anymore.

"Himeko, you're here too!"

March 7th pulled Hoshino along and ran up to Himeko: "We also found this child!"

Xingcai was born not long ago, so it's not surprising that she's called a child.

Himeko smiled and nodded: "I am Himeko, the navigator of the Starry Sky Train."

March 7th added from the side: "That means the train's movements are entirely at her discretion."

"My name is Xing."

Yun turned to Alan: "If you're alright, go report to Station Master Estádio first."

Alan nodded: "Thank you, goodbye."

His tone was a bit stiff, but that's just his personality—cold on the outside but warm on the inside. It seems he started working at Station Master Estád's house from the beginning, and everyone in the defense department admired him.

But that's all there is to it.

Seeing Alan leave first, Yunzhi suddenly looked around and said, "The Black Tower isn't here, is it?"

Himeko smiled and said, "She's not here right now. As you know, this space station is just a warehouse for her to store artifacts and followers. She doesn't care about it. But I can send her a message saying that we've found the artifact she wanted. That way, she'll come eventually. If you don't want to see her, why don't you go back to the train and rest?"

Everyone on the train crew knew that Yunzhi was unwilling to meet with scientists, fearing that he would be used as material for researching the Star God.

Himeko had told Yunzhi that Black Tower was just curious and would only ask a couple of questions at most, and that there would be no danger, but Yunzhi just wouldn't listen.

—The Black Tower was already researching the Star God, and Yun Zhi didn't want to hear her endless questions.

Moreover, most of Lan's information was within the Immortal Boat Alliance. She only managed to find a little bit through the connections of another scientist, Ruan Mei. When she met Yun Zhi, she had to at least finish asking all the questions she had accumulated.

It will take at least three days.

But it's necessary for her to know what happened today.

"No, there's something I need to tell her..." As the owner of the space station, she needs to know about the Star Core Hunters, and if Yunzhi remembers correctly, Black Tower and Silver Wolf seem to have some conflict.

"Then let's wait a bit. Let's go. Estella is very worried about them."

As Ji Zi spoke, she led them toward the center of the main control module.

In the center was a huge holographic projection, where a small, pink-haired girl stood, maintaining order while keeping an eye on the battle situation around her.

"According to predictions, the Legion is about to launch more than ten waves of continuous attacks. Hold on, everyone!"

Hearing what the little girl said, Yun Zhidu found it a bit unbelievable: ten waves?

Using a group of scattered soldiers to launch more than ten waves of attacks on the Black Tower's space station, I don't know whether to marvel at the sheer scale of the Star Core Hunters' operations.

"Do you need any help?"

Yunzhi walked up behind Estelle: "It won't be difficult to scare those things away."

At least they may not be very bright, but they understand the most basic principles of seeking advantage and avoiding harm.

Estelle turned around: "Ah, you're back. Alan was just here; he told me everything about the containment module... Thank you for your help... Excuse me, is this the first time I've met this person?"

Estella had indeed never met Yunzhi, and Yunzhi didn't feel offended in any way.

"I am Yun Zhi, and also a member of the Star Train. It seems there are a few too few combat personnel on the space station. Don't you seem to care?"

Has no one paid attention to protecting scientists and researchers?

"Yes, we are too unprepared for emergencies and have neglected security. Now that something like this has happened, we are caught off guard and confused..." Estella said dejectedly, her eyes lowered.

Yunzhi raised her eyes and glanced outside.

Did something just fly by outside?

It passed by in a flash, and Yunzhi didn't see it clearly, nor did he pay special attention. Perhaps all the legion's pawns were insignificant to the Black Tower Space Station.

The biggest problem now lies with the management. Aistar needs to arrange for someone to appease the staff, which will take some effort.

March 7th and Star volunteered to help, and Estella agreed. The two girls then hurriedly ran off.

Yun Zhi stayed in the middle, watching the holographic projection of the space station.

The legion's soldiers were still roaming around inside and outside the space station, waiting for an opportunity to launch an attack.

However, the space station had already experienced a surprise attack and its defenses had been strengthened. In addition, it had figured out the attack patterns of the antimatter legion and was no longer in a panic.

Estella's expression, however, was somewhat somber.

This legionary attack has already caused casualties, and as the station chief, she is largely to blame. If she hadn't neglected the deployment of combat personnel and the establishment of security measures, this wouldn't have happened...

Yunzhi couldn't bear to see such a dejected expression. He hadn't been this depressed when he was locked in that living coffin.

"Don't be so sad right now. As long as the space station hasn't been destroyed, you still have time to make amends—hmm?"

Just as he was about to use some not-so-great words to comfort the little girl, he caught a glimpse of a shadow out of the corner of his eye. Yunzhi looked up again and gazed into space through the glass of the space station.

It wasn't a hallucination; there really was something flying by.

It was a large, dragon-like monster with six wings.

This wasn't the first time Yunzhi had seen it; it was a Doomsday Beast from the Legion.

The Black Tower isn't here, so the space station's defenses are relatively weak. But the Star Core Hunters dared to lure the Doomsday Beasts here, presumably because they felt invincible with the Star Train at their backs.

Of course, they wouldn't care if the space station was destroyed, since their goal, it's speculated, was to deliver the star to the Star Train.

The other side has a "slave to fate" who has the upper hand, which is really a headache.

Himeko and Welt need no introduction, and Dan Heng had already dealt with the Doomsday Beast before getting on the train.

And himself.

Yun stretched and said, "When Black Tower arrives later, I'll have a chat with her."

Long, slender fingers brushed across his face, and the iron mask fell.

"There's a doomsday beast outside, I'll go deal with it."

"Why???"

Doomsday Beast?

Estella looked shocked.

Doomsday Beasts, aren't those the Legion's anti-planetary weapons? Used to destroy planets.

Why would it appear on the space station?
