Section 688

The reason is simple.

Even if they were extremely careful,

they still couldn't 100% avoid being injured by spatial rifts.

If the damage was severe, they would have to use Evolution Points for repairs.

Fortunately,

the Brilliant Fleet had an abundance of Evolution Points.

They truly had a lot.

Therefore, it didn't affect anything.

The chatty Qin Fuyue gradually became quiet.

Those who were originally quiet became even more reticent.

Perhaps it was their complete, unconditional trust in Xu Zi'an that kept their emotions from getting out of control.

Additionally, over the past three months,

ever since the purple qi coming from the east was discovered,

perhaps due to their luck running out,

they hadn't seen a single thing around them anymore.

Not even a speck of asteroid dust.

This absolute vacuum environment was truly empty of everything.

No light.

No radiation.

No visible matter whatsoever.

Only countless unseen dark matter and Biological Energy.

Although there was also dark matter here,

the dark matter between the Positive Universe and the Anti-Universe was clearly unable to connect or communicate.

It was like a thick barrier, dividing two completely different worlds.

Perhaps the only thing worth celebrating

was that the barrier didn't seem as far-off as Xu Zi'an had imagined.

At least the barrier, which was originally estimated to take ten or even decades to reach, now seemed reachable in three to five years based on observations over the past three months.

It's unclear if it's because the Anti-Universe is also moving like the Positive Universe, and the simultaneous movement of both Universes caused the distance between them to shorten.

Regardless,

the journey from the original ten or decades to the current three to five years…

Xu Zi'an could accept it.

He checked the time.

Xu Zi'an said in the communicator, "Let's take a break."

"Since we came in, we haven't seemed to have hotpot, have we? Let's have hotpot together today…"

This time,

Xu Zi'an still hadn't finished his sentence!

Bai Xiaoyuan's joyful voice suddenly rang out in the communicator.

"Wait!"

"I found something!"

"It seems… it seems… Hiss!!! Is this… is this a starship?!"

"Heavens!!!"

"A starship!!! I see a starship!!!"

Bai Xiaoyuan was filled with shock.

Xu Zi'an's expression froze.

Last time he mentioned eating hotpot, they discovered the purple qi coming from the east.

This time he mentioned eating hotpot, they discovered a starship?!

So,

was it fate that he couldn't have hotpot with the Ladies, or did having hotpot bring good luck?

But they hadn't even started cooking yet!!!

And upon suddenly hearing the words 'starship',

everyone was startled.

They quickly urged Bai Xiaoyuan to share the image, and their expressions immediately became tense.

The previous gloomy atmosphere was swept away.

Xu Zi'an also became serious, quickly looking at the view captured by the shared reconnaissance drone.

In the captured image,

under the powerful beam of the reconnaissance drone,

a massive, completely green object gradually appeared before everyone's eyes.

It was green

only because of the starship's paint job.

It wasn't anything else.

And with just one glance,

Xu Zi'an immediately recognized that this starship belonged to the Insectoid Race!

Because whether it was from the paint, or the parts of the design currently visible, as well as the parts of the components currently seen, all confirmed this to Xu Zi'an.

At the same time, after seeing the state of this starship, Xu Zi'an couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This was because the starship was riddled with holes.

After countless spatial rift bombardments, it was already beyond recognition.

It was just a pile of scrap metal, no longer even qualifying as a starship.

So, it wasn't alive.

This immediately put everyone at ease.

In the Anti-Universe, if they were unlucky enough to encounter a super-powerful enemy…

they would truly be in a hopeless situation.

After Xu Zi'an breathed a sigh of relief, he was overjoyed and quickly instructed, "Quick!"

"Send the coordinates immediately, we're going there now!"

"Also, look closely, what Rank of starship is this!"

Bai Xiaoyuan immediately complied.

Soon,

with the reconnaissance drone's scouting,

the appearance of this废弃 starship was fully revealed to everyone.

This was actually a Zongxing-class Battleship!

Even though it was riddled with holes, its basic outline still clearly showed its original immense size.

It definitely exceeded sixty thousand meters in length!

Then this was a Zongxing-class Battleship.

This discovery

made everyone, especially Xu Zi'an, even more excited!

Discovering a starship here definitely meant more than just the possibility of obtaining food and other supplies from it—

Although the possibility of food existing was infinitesimally close to zero.

After all, if food truly existed, then this esteemed Star Destroyer ship captain wouldn't have died.

Of course, it's also possible that there was still food, but the starship had endured too many spatial rift bombardments and had run out of Evolution Points.
