Chapter 35 Reaching Jupiter
Thus, Lonis asked her other companions to take turns bullying her without restraint.
Although this was just a symbolic release, Lonis felt a slight sense of transgression from being beaten by everyone.
It was as if she had truly become a plush toy that enjoyed being imprisoned by beautiful girls.
She had no dignity left; all she wanted was for everyone to bully her, to whip her.
(No, that’s wrong! I can’t awaken that kind of attribute, it’s a road of no return!)
…
However, even though she said that, the thought of being able to help everyone recover their sanity filled Lonis with a sense of accomplishment.
After all, this was her contribution, wasn’t it? Anyone else couldn’t have been effective at this time.
…
…
However, just as Lonis gathered her courage and tried to continue letting everyone bully her… Elus came with a paintbrush and a tattered dress, not knowing what she was doing.
…
“Elus! What are you doing!”
“What am I doing? I’m making you, Lonis, of course?”
“Eh?!”
“Hehe, the whip marks on Lonis will heal quickly, and it’s not satisfying to look at, so let’s draw a few with a paintbrush.”
“How can you do that!”
“Hmm, on your thigh, you can also write “5 cents per whip, 1 punch free”? Perfect.”
“Help!!!”
…
Sometimes, Lonis suspected Elus had a NTR fetish!
Why else would anyone write such things on their partner… but she had to admit, with these words added, the whipping effect was even better.
Just one whip was equivalent to two previous whips.
And after bullying Lonis, Elus’s calm period was also extended.
…
“Hmph, Little idiot is covered in writing. This way, everyone will have no guilt in beating up the idiot fox.”
“Wuwu, Elus is bullying me… Hmph, Elus called me a pervert? She’s the real pervert, always writing these messy things on other people.”
“Oh? Lonis dares to talk back? Then later, I’ll use permanent paint and write on those spots. Humph hum~~~”
“Sorry, I was wrong!!!!”
But no matter what…
Thanks to Lonis’s release, they arrived near Jupiter without any incidents.
The beige planet stood in the pitch-black universe. From afar, the massive Jupiter looked like a wooden billiard ball.
Not only was it dotted with various textures, but it also had a giant “eye” resembling a tree bark.
This was, of course, not a real eye, but a massive storm on Jupiter’s surface. In human observations in the 17th century, the diameter of this giant storm on Jupiter reached 40,000 kilometers, enough to fit the Earth.
And now, although this storm had calmed down somewhat, ordinary life could still not set foot on Jupiter.
It possessed unimaginable pressure and extreme climates… but fortunately, the girls’ Time Shuttle did not need to land on Jupiter.
Because the Third Fleet’s base, being pioneers, was located on Jupiter’s moon, Europa.
Europa was also one of the most likely planets in the solar system to harbor extraterrestrial life.
As Europa’s surface is covered by a vast ice layer, there might be liquid water between the mantle and the ice layer… since life originates from oceans, scientists infer that there might be some primitive cellular organisms on Europa.
(The above is科普, the following is speculation.)
…
…
Therefore, more than a decade ago, when the Third Fleet landed on Jupiter, they were also on a scientific research mission.
But none of the scientists expected…
The questions from Europa were not only not answered, but they became more numerous!
Because under Europa’s ice layer, there was indeed a small amount of liquid water… but there were also many civilization ruins that seemed to be from outer space!
These ruins were arranged in a honeycomb pattern, their structures not belonging to any material known to humanity.
Moreover, according to observations, there were various incomprehensible patterns in the ruins, and even force fields protected them!
Although people could not enter due to the influence of the force field, such a discovery was already enough to be inspiring.
However, just when everyone thought that continuous measurement would surely yield results… the Supreme Civilization arrived.
Therefore, out of necessity, people had to temporarily stop the research on the ruins and concentrate all their power on the war… and the Earth Protection Front converted those research stations into fortresses, which then served as the base for the Second Fleet.
And the girls’ trip this time was to search for survivors in the base.
However…
“No one can survive?”
Lonis took a deep breath.
They had sent signals to the Second Fleet several times, but there was no response.
In the vast depths of the universe, the Second Fleet’s flagship, Cygnus, floated in space. Although it was enormous, about a kilometer long like an aircraft carrier, it was desolate and without any light.
And the base on Europa was also dead silent, with no signs of any active personnel.
…
Gazing at all of this, Elus said:
“It’s not necessarily true that no one survived? No one knows what the Supreme Civilization did here. And… where is Luo Bei’s ship, the Red Cheese? That also means that perhaps the situation can still be turned around.”
“Mm…”
“How about this… Bai Ye, Jessica, accompany me and Little Idiot, and we’ll go land on Cygnus first to confirm if there are any survivors inside.”
“Understood!”
…
…
Although everyone could somewhat resist the influence of the anger fluctuations for now, Elus did not dare to let everyone venture out together.
Because no one knew what threats were on the Second Fleet… and if an accident occurred, it would be too funny for them to have to “beat up Lonis” to relieve stress before executing any actions.
Therefore, the Time Shuttle simply docked on the deck, and the four individuals who were in relatively good condition traveled together.
…
“Captain Elus, please be careful with everything. I can sense many strange existences inside this ship.”
“Mm, Senior Isumi, you and Miss Lian Lan will be in charge of command inside the ship. Don’t worry about us, adopt a conservative strategy. If anything unexpected happens, you can evacuate first.”
“Received.”
“Alright, then I wish us all a triumphant victory?”
…
