Chapter 326 Egg
Chapter 326 Egg
Gantz's bedroom was also on the second floor. The servants had already cleaned up the room while he was having dinner, and put the things he brought in. However, he didn't know what the items were, so he didn't touch them. He just waited for the owner to open them in person and then put them back as requested.
Finally, when they saw the boxes of dazzling gold and jewelry, even the servants who were used to seeing big scenes couldn't help but breathe heavily. Is this the treasure of the star pirates? So, so dazzling...
After being distracted, the servant's expression quickly returned to calm and he did not act too rudely.
In their hearts, they looked at the new owner with new eyes. In their imagination, the original planet was desolate and the people were poor. Now it seems that they dare not make a conclusion easily.
Looking at Gantz's strange clothes and appearance, he also looked mysterious and extravagant.
"Master Ganz, where do you think is the best place to put these things? Do you need a safe?" the servant asked, pointing to the boxes of treasure on the ground.
"A safe? What's that for?"
"It's a metal cabinet with a lock, specially used to store these valuables to prevent theft and damage."
"Oh, no need, just find a corner where it won't get in the way. I don't know when I might need it, so it's convenient to carry with me." Ganz's tone was very casual.
Little did they know what kind of storm these words stirred up in the minds of the listeners. What do you mean by convenient to use? ! Is this small change? ! Do the people of Gudel use gold and jewelry as currency? ! !
Oh mom, why are you so extravagant and inhumane!
When they were halfway through packing, Sifos came in. Seeing Ganz's clothes, he thought for a moment and said, "Record Master Ganz's height and dimensions, and ask the tailor to make a batch of clothes and send them over. We need clothes for all seasons."
"Yes, sir. Then these..."
Ganz quickly refused: "No need! Godfather. I have clothes with me, no need to make new ones."
Sifos patted his arm comfortingly. "A few sets of clothes, it's okay. When you come here, you have to follow the local customs. If you go out dressed like this, others will be curious. Your clothes are still there for you, wear them when you go back."
"Tell your mother to take you to buy a few ready-made ones tomorrow, and make do with them for now."
"Okay...thank you, father."
It was already late, and after seeing off Sifos and the maid who cleaned the house, Ganz prepared to go to bed.
After taking a shower, he lay on the bed with his eyes open, and memories of this journey automatically emerged in his mind. Traveling through the universe, from one planet to another, meeting so many strange yet kind family members.
He could not even dream of such a fantastic experience before. Because of Godfather Sifos and Wei'er, he knew the concept of "universe" and knew that there was a wider world outside this world.
Thinking of this, Gantz felt his blood boiling. What new and surprising things would he see tomorrow to break his cognition? It was really exciting...
On the other side, Mrs. Sivers pulled Xu Weiwei into her bedroom. She was going to sleep with her daughter today. Her daughter had grown up so fast, and although they were still affectionate when they met again, she was always uneasy and had to make up for it.
Xu Weiwei naturally had no objection, she also missed her mother, but -
"Where does Daddy sleep?"
"Don't worry about him. He has his own plans. It's not certain whether he will come back to stay tonight."
"Oh..." Xu Weiwei seemed to understand but not quite.
Nothing will wait for you forever, except work. No one will pester you day and night, except your boss.
The palace attendants waited from 7:30 to 9:30, and finally pulled Sifos into the car and took him to the palace.
After entering, Sifos pulled a chair and sat across from the desk: "Do you want to see me so badly? You can't even wait one night?"
The waitress who served the tea trembled slightly, and her heart began to scream like a marmot. Unfortunately, she was cleared out the next second, and unfortunately she could not continue to listen.
Your Majesty never allows outsiders to be present when he talks with officials.
Odu II sneered and said resentfully, "I waited for you for more than just one night. I waited for you for a week! No, strictly speaking, it was eight years! Do you know how I spent these eight years?!"
Seaforth: ...That sounds familiar.
"How could you not come back to report to me first and run around for another week! If you said you were doing this for your daughter who has been missing for many years, I can understand, but what about you after you landed today?!"
"I don't even have the energy to deal with government affairs! You seem to be having a good time eating and chatting with your family?! Do you want me to give you another seven days off so you can go traveling and come back?!"
Odu II was talking with great enthusiasm, spouting curses and insults. Siphos found it very cordial.
After scolding for a full five minutes, Odu II felt dry-mouthed and his anger was almost gone, so he started to ask about the real business.
"Report quickly, where have you been and what have you been through in the past eight years?"
"You may not believe it, but we seem to have found the Simons' lair." Sifos dropped a bomb calmly.
Odu II paused visibly, his eyes sharpened, "Where is it?"
"It's hard to explain. Just look at the map of the warship's route. It's scaled down 200,000 times."
Sifos operated the optical computer and exported a huge map of about two meters in the void. The red path on it was as tortuous as a maze.
"The distance is too far, and there is no space jump station. This road took us a long time and we took a lot of detours."
Odu II stared at the small dot marking the starting point of the trail, unable to hide his excitement, he said, "No matter what, it's worth it to find their nest! You guys have made a great contribution on this trip!"
After he finished speaking, he took the initiative to reach out his hand and high-fived Sifos.
Everyone knows what this means. Their country spends so much on military expenditure every year, in addition to secretly fighting with the Federation, it also deals with the Simons who are like flies.
Although the confrontation with the Federation was more severe, at least it was an enemy that was visible and could be seen. But the Simons were like time bombs, and no one knew when they would pop up from any corner.
As the saying goes, there is a thief who can steal for a thousand days, but there is no such thing as a thief who can guard against thieves for a thousand days. The soldiers stationed there took turns to be on guard 24 hours a day, and they even wanted to sleep with one eye open. It was really exhausting to deal with.
Over the years, he dreamed of wiping out the Simons and eliminating their threat once and for all.
Now that they finally saw the dawn of victory, what did the distance matter? Tomorrow he would order the space engineering team to calculate the distance and landing point and build a new space jump station.
Try to teleport his million-strong army to the Simon people's faces!
"Don't be too optimistic yet. I haven't finished yet." Sifos tapped the table with his index finger. "There is a major discovery that may overturn our understanding of the enemy."
"What major discovery?" asked Odu II with a serious expression.
"Aren't you curious about how we were able to get away unscathed after entering someone's house? Just with our 10,000 men."
"Don't keep us in suspense. Tell us now," the emperor urged.
With deep eyes, Sifos recounted the thrilling past: "It was a barren planet, with a surface temperature of over 50 degrees. The surface soil had become somewhat desertified, and there was almost no vegetation. Looking down from the sky, there were many mounds of earth that looked like anthills."
"We didn't know what those mounds were at first. In order to save fuel and replenish supplies, the fleet landed on that land."
"While searching for food, the soldiers encountered a group of Simons, each of whom was carrying tree roots and other unidentified objects. When they met, they attacked our soldiers like crazy."
"Fortunately, the soldiers were wearing light mechanical armor when they went down, so they had the upper hand in the fight. But as time went on, vibrations began to come from under the soil."
"I had a bad feeling and immediately called back all the soldiers. Sure enough, a dozen seconds later, more Simons emerged from underground, from all directions, like an ant colony."
There was a cold gleam in Sifos's eyes.
"With the military support of the starship, the army was dispersed and the soldiers were able to escape."
"After the starship was launched, it carried out a large-scale bombing on the ground. This bombing allowed me to discover something incredible. Take a look."
Sifos grabbed a picture and threw it into the air. The picture showed a deep pit, about two or three meters deep, and what was exposed was not black moist soil, but a large area of white honeycomb structure.
In each hive lived a curled up black creature that looked like a juvenile Simon, wrapped in a transparent gelatin. Some places were blasted open by shells, and wet liquid flowed out, which, combined with the minced meat, made people nauseous no matter how they looked at it.
Sifos pointed to the enlarged structure on the picture and said, "Obviously, mammals are viviparous and cannot have such structures. So, these 'capsules' should be eggs."
"We've been thinking all along about Simons wrong. They're not mammals, they're insects."
Odu II stared at the scene with a serious expression.
