ISMW Chapter 92

Yu Chen has been living as a 2S-level alpha to ensure that the timing of his contact with 3S mechas is controllable.

 

The military has always lacked high-level alpha mecha pilots. If he were a 3S-level alpha, even if he pretended his resonance with 3S mechas was low, the military would try all means to help him improve his resonance through training. But alphas must connect through sensors to pilot mechas, and this process itself can be used to collect biological information. For domestically produced mechas, the pilot’s biological information won’t be leaked, but for foreign-produced mechas… it’s uncertain.

 

All 3S mechas on the market today were designed by Manyuin Hurst. As long as Yu Chen connects with a 3S mecha, there is a possibility of identity information leakage.

 

The current situation is also obvious: Manyuin Hurst probably learned of Yu Chen’s existence through the biological sample information transmitted back when Yu Chen first piloted Yun Xunlan’s Jian Xing Chen.

 

He probably waited until today to contact Yun Xunguang to confirm Yu Chen’s identity.

 

Yu Chen’s primary sexual characteristic is male, and his appearance has similarities with Huo Su and Ran Xuechen. Without direct comparison, it’s not easy to associate them as blood relatives. Now that it’s confirmed, Manyuin Hurst wants to meet Yu Chen.

 

Yun Xunguang sat down again: “Yu Chen, no matter how much you want to kill Manyuin Hurst, I hope you can hold back first.”

 

Yu Chen promised: “Okay, I won’t fight him.”

 

“Can you really hold back?” Yun Xunguang’s gaze swept over the calm face of the blue-eyed alpha. “You may not believe it, but I want to kill him more than you do, just like my father. But none of us can act now.”

 

“I hate him, hate him so much I want him dead, but I’ve never thought of killing him with my own hands.”

 

“His mistakes will be judged by the military court and punished by law. If these can’t punish him, then it should be my turn.” Yu Chen said. “But now, it’s not my turn.”

 

If Yu Chen and Pei Xingting simply wanted to kill Manyuin Hurst, they wouldn’t need to go through so much trouble. But just killing Manyuin Hurst wouldn’t solve anything. This is not what Yu Chen and Pei Xingting want.

 

After hearing Yu Chen, Yun Xunguang looked at him deeply for a moment, neither believing nor disbelieving, and said: “Okay, I need to find out what’s going on with those insectoids near the third border line. You must meet him, and only you—Yun Xunlan won’t go with you.”

 

She explained this in advance to Yun Xunlan and Yu Chen.

 

Yun Xunguang won’t allow Yun Xunlan to directly contact such a dangerous person as Manyuin Hurst.

 

No one can guess what Manyuin Hurst means, but one thing is certain—he doesn’t want to fully expose Yu Chen’s true identity.

 

Although it can’t be hidden from Yun Xunguang, it can be temporarily hidden from the outside world. After all, a duke of the Corona Empire visiting a small guard major of the Galactic Empire for no reason would arouse curiosity about Yu Chen. But if he visits under the pretext of meeting Yun Xunlan and casually meets Yu Chen, it won’t raise suspicion.

 

“I will send someone disguised as Yun Xunlan to go with you. After meeting, you need to ask him some questions. I will prepare a script and send it to you before departure.” Yun Xunguang said these words to Yu Chen, and finally asked Yun Xunlan: “Can you accept this arrangement?”

 

Yun Xunlan asked her back: “Shouldn’t these questions be asked to Yu Chen? You’re sending him to do the job.”

 

“Ask him?” Yun Xunguang laughed and glanced at Yu Chen with her golden eyes. “You’re still a soldier of our country, right?”

 

Yu Chen straightened his back and said firmly: “I always have been.”

 

—Soldiers only have obedience to missions and orders, no question of acceptance.

 

Seeing this, Yun Xunguang was much relieved, and her anger dissipated considerably. She thought Yu Chen’s mouth was indeed skillful, and all his answers were so satisfying. No wonder Yun Xunlan was deceived by him. But thinking of this, Yun Xunguang was also frustrated with Yun Xunlan. Despite tutoring with Yu Chen for so long, he still hadn’t learned to obey orders. He always did the opposite of what he was told.

 

After hanging up the video call, Yun Xunguang replied to Manyuin Hurst, setting the meeting time and place at the Arlo Supply Base near Yaoguang Fifth Space Station three days later.

 

Due to this incident, Yun Xunlan changed his itinerary, not going to other rocky planets to investigate Severir insectoid traces, but staying at the space station.

 

Because Yun Xunguang was worried that Yun Xunlan and Yu Chen were too far apart, in case Yun Xunlan had an accident and Yu Chen couldn’t assist him with secondary differentiation in time. Also, news came from Yun Qihe that night: they found non-adult king insects on a rocky barren star and eliminated them.

 

It was proven that the situation on the experimental insect planet was not an isolated case, making the meeting with Manyuin Hurst even more important.

 

On the day of the meeting, Yu Chen and Ni Chun left the space station together to meet with the person Yun Xunguang had arranged on Arlo Star.

 

Yun Xunlan was also busy that day, inspecting Jian Xing Chen in the mecha storage bay and looking at the removed cocoon.

 

The system thought he was slacking off: “You don’t know how to repair mechas. No matter how much you look, it’s a waste of time. You might as well find more negative comments to prepare.”

 

Yun Xunlan touched the inner shell of the cocoon: “I’m thinking about whether the cocoon’s material can be improved.”

 

He mainly focused on materials and wasn’t good at repairing mechas. But Yun Xunlan felt that if the Corona Empire’s repair ship didn’t arrive soon, he could repair Jian Xing Chen himself. After all, it’s just a matter of the hatch. He didn’t know what they were dawdling about on the way.

 

“No need to improve. This one is already good enough.” The system said. “Besides, with me here, can I let you die? Rest assured and wait for half a year to break out of the galaxy.”

 

Yun Xunlan pursed his lips, about to say something, when Lu You suddenly walked over and said softly: “Third Prince, the Corona Empire’s repair ship has arrived.”

 

“Good, then I’ll go back to the ward to avoid it.” Yun Xunlan turned and walked toward the ward. After all, he should be “meeting” Manyuin Hurst on Arlo Star now and shouldn’t show up here. If people on the Corona Empire’s repair ship saw him, it would be hard to explain.

 

However, when Yun Xunlan passed by the porthole and glanced toward the jump gate, he saw starships bearing Corona Empire markings emerging from the gate one after another. He frowned and asked Lu You: “The Corona Empire sent three repair ships?”

 

“Yes.” Lu You nodded. “All the repair ships the Corona Empire sent have arrived.”

 

Although the system had just been saying that Yun Xunlan couldn’t repair mechas, after hearing Lu You’s words, it was also speechless and made the same complaint as Yun Xunlan: “Is it really necessary? It’s just repairing a hatch at most. Three ships—they could almost play mahjong. I think they’re even more idle than you.”

 

“They’re not idle at all.”

 

After saying this to the system, Yun Xunlan ordered Lu You: “Evacuate everyone from the space station immediately.”

 

At the same time, the starship carrying Manyuin Hurst also passed through Arlo Star’s jump gate and docked at the supply base port.

 

Yu Chen and Ni Chun stood behind Colonel Chen Xu, a 3S-level alpha whose height and build were extremely similar to Yun Xunlan’s, watching the silver-haired man appear on the landing platform.

 

The man’s dreamlike purple eyes never once looked at Colonel Chen Xu, who was disguised as Yun Xunlan. He walked straight to Yu Chen, staring at him intently, gazing directly at that ice-sea blue, with nostalgia rising in his eyes as he sighed: “Yuchen, your eyes are exactly like your mother’s. After all these years, they haven’t changed at all.”

 

Yu Chen curved his lips, his eyes gloomy and cold, sneering: “Are you even worthy of mentioning her?”

 

“Your temper hasn’t changed either.” Manyuin Hurst smiled and shook his head, like an elder helplessly tolerating a child: “You won’t let me mention Xuechen. When you ask about the past later, won’t you let me mention her either? Then I suppose I can only talk to you about Huo Su.”

 

Ginger is indeed spicier when old.

 

With just two or three sentences, Manyuin Hurst had stabbed at the two people Yu Chen cared about most.

 

Chen Xu and Ni Chun listened from the side, cold sweat streaming down their backs, afraid that Yu Chen couldn’t control his emotions and would punch Manyuin Hurst in the face.

 

Fortunately, Yu Chen had learned some moves from somewhere. When he couldn’t win this topic, he quickly changed the subject, using etiquette to pressure him. After sarcastically calling him “Duke Hurst,” he said: “You haven’t greeted the Third Prince yet.”

 

“If the Third Prince were here, I would certainly bow and greet him. The question is, is he here?” Manyuin Hurst continued smiling, not even glancing at Colonel Chen Xu, only speaking to Yu Chen: “What a pity. I really wanted to meet him because I wanted to discuss with him…”

 

Manyuin Hurst twirled a strand of his silver hair with one finger and got straight to the point: “What different sensations occur when different poison sources activate.”

 

Upon hearing this, Yu Chen’s pupils contracted for a moment, his blue eyes becoming even sharper and colder.

 

“Don’t tell me you don’t know.” Manyuin Hurst’s lip corners curved up even more: “Someone who can open the mecha’s second piloting authority to you and make you willing to touch a 3S mecha—I think you should have already been honest about each other’s secrets.”

 

Since Manyuin Hurst wasn’t pretending, Yu Chen didn’t play games with him either: “Since you know everything, you can still smile? Have you been a beast for so long that you’ve lost all humanity?”

 

“Well, Yuchen, you have changed somewhat—your temper has grown.” The purple-eyed man raised an eyebrow: “Actually, all these years, I’ve been wanting to find you. I’m very happy you’re still alive. What do you want to know? I’ll tell you everything.”

 

After saying this, he finally deigned to turn his gaze to Chen Xu and Ni Chun: “Where is the conference room? Please lead us there.”

 

Seeing that he couldn’t fool Manyuin Hurst, Chen Xu simply removed the mask from his face, extended his palm upward, and pointed the way: “This way.”

 

—He didn’t even use honorifics.

 

Manyuin Hurst came alone, with none of his subordinates leaving the starship with him. He followed Chen Xu and Ni Chun for a few steps, then suddenly stopped just before entering: “Oh, although I couldn’t meet the Third Prince, I still want to remind you—”

 

“When I contacted the Crown Princess, I said I wanted to meet the Third Prince and Yuchen.”

 

Yu Chen, who was walking ahead of Manyuin Hurst, suddenly stopped, and Yun Xunguang’s serious voice immediately reached Yu Chen’s ear through the bone microphone: “Go with him. Don’t worry about Lanlan.”

 

Yu Chen’s fingers hanging at his side clenched and then relaxed. Finally, without saying a word, he pushed open the conference room door, walked to the round table in the center and sat down, his face expressionless.

 

Manyuin Hurst sat across from him, with Ni Chun and Chen Xu standing nearby. It was clear that the protagonists of today’s conversation were Yu Chen and Manyuin Hurst, and the others didn’t need to get involved. Manyuin Hurst also had no intention of communicating with them.

 

He had come personally from the frontline battlefield, seemingly only for Yu Chen.

 

The two sat facing each other, and again it was Manyuin Hurst who spoke first: “Your eyes are like Xuechen’s, but your personality is more like Huo Su’s. When I told her about Xuechen being held hostage by the mutinous soldiers, she was as restless as you are now, yet she never left the main warship.”

 

Eighteen years had passed. Yu Chen had grown from a child who lit flames into an adult who could control the fire in his heart. But even with psychological preparation, when he saw Manyuin Hurst speak these words with a smiling expression and nostalgic tone, Yu Chen still inevitably reddened his eyes, hatred and pain flowing together: “You finally admit she never left the main warship.”

 

“Did I ever say she left the main warship?” Manyuin Hurst gradually restrained his smile, lowering his lashes to glance at the crystal-clear glass beside his hand: “I’ve always told the truth, but people’s misunderstanding of her is too deep. No matter how I explain, they refuse to believe.”

 

“The truth? You telling people you didn’t leave the main warship that day is also the truth?” Yu Chen laughed coldly: “If you hadn’t stolen my mother’s mecha and disguised it as her leaving, would she have been misunderstood by the world for so many years?”

 

“It is the truth.”

 

Manyuin Hurst lifted his eyelids: “On the small patrol ship that left the main warship, there were only mechas, no living people.”

 

He crossed his arms and smiled again: “Do you think I was on it?”

 

“I fought alongside Huo Su until the very last moment. She was a hero who gave everything she could to defend the first border line—including her life.” Manyuin Hurst repeated the words he had said countless times when facing cameras and reporters, his tone as firm as always.

 

However, this time, he added something to Yu Chen that he had never said before: “I also gave everything I could, including my life.”

 

“You also gave your life?”

 

Yu Chen felt it was the greatest irony that Manyuin Hurst could sit in front of him completely unharmed and say such words.

 

However, Manyuin Hurst continued smiling: “Yuchen, your ability to come to the Galactic Empire, live here, and study at Anlos Military Academy is very fortunate. Yun Qihe isn’t a good emperor, but his older siblings are.”

 

“The year I was born, the emperor of the Galactic Empire was Yun Qisun.”

 

Yun Qihe ranked third in the royal family. Yun Qisun was his older brother and the crown prince who successfully ascended the throne after their father’s death.

 

Unlike Yun Qihe’s sinister and cold-blooded personality, Yun Qisun was benevolent, decisive in killing, and a wise ruler. He governed the Galactic Empire extremely well. During his reign, national power flourished, and no citizen spoke ill of him.

 

When Manyuin Hurst and Huo Su were eating nutritional paste made from cockroach maggot corpses that had gone half-rotten due to poor storage at the orphanage, they couldn’t help but discuss: if they were orphans of the Galactic Empire, no matter how pitiful they were, they could probably eat non-spoiled nutritional paste, right?

 

Unfortunately, they were orphans of the Nebula Federation.

 

However, such a good emperor died on the border battlefield several years later, falling to the fangs of the Severir insectoids.

 

When Manyuin Hurst and Huo Su were wading through puddles in the alley on their way back to the orphanage, they heard this news on the street. Their first reaction was: perhaps the orphans of the Galactic Empire would also have to eat half-spoiled nutritional paste like them.

 

However, the result was no different—Yun Qiyan, who succeeded Yun Qisun, was also a just, wise, gentle, and brave empress. The Galactic Empire did not decline rapidly due to Yun Qisun’s death; it even performed better than under Yun Qisun.

 

The citizens sincerely loved, admired, and revered her, singing praises that even Manyuin Hurst and Huo Su would hum.

 

But she also died, sharing the same fate as her brother Yun Qisun.

 

They both died young, leaving no blood descendants. The royal family was left with only Yun Qihe, who had just turned twelve, was still in elementary school, and was depressed and world-weary.

 

Everyone knew he couldn’t be a good emperor. He couldn’t compare to even a fraction of Yun Qisun and Yun Qiyan, but there was no one left in the royal family. All of Yun Qihe’s relatives had sacrificed themselves on the front lines, and he himself would be the one to sacrifice in the future.

 

So no matter how badly this emperor performed, the citizens of the Galactic Empire, for the sake of his brother and sister, only allowed their own people to scold him, forbidding others from doing so.

 

Even so, after he ascended the throne, the waves of scolding could not be stopped from reaching the Nebula Federation.

 

Manyuin Hurst heard people scolding him for many years. After resigning from the Federal Mecha Research Institute, he did not immediately join the Nebula Federation military. At that time, he was very confused and did not know where he could go. To answer the questions that had been hidden in his heart since childhood, he went to the Galactic Empire’s orphanage.

 

He wondered: What would such a terrible emperor as Yun Qihe let the orphans here eat?

 

—The most ordinary nutritional liquid.

 

It was not tasty at all, but it could provide all the energy and nutrition humans needed daily. Within the normal safe shelf life, it did not spoil, and no one would starve to death because they couldn’t get it.

 

Manyuin Hurst was very curious: Was there no rotten smell here?

 

The orphanage director told him: “Yes, there is, plenty of it. This kind of thing happens everywhere. But His Majesty is naturally cruel, killing without blinking. The more he kills, the less there is. After all, corruption might be punished by life imprisonment, but in his hands, it would be dismemberment. No one survives.”

 

So Manyuin Hurst also went to the Corona Empire’s orphanage.

 

Here, he finally found orphans eating half-spoiled nutritional paste—all betas or omegas. Alphas were eating quite well… This place was also rotten, but no matter what, the Nebula Federation was always the most corrupt.

 

“We were born in the worst place.” After returning to the Nebula Federation, Manyuin Hurst asked Huo Su, “What should we do?”

 

Huo Su patted his shoulder and comforted him: “It’s okay. We still have a chance to make it better. Come and work hard with me.”

 

It was this invitation that made Manyuin Hurst choose to follow Huo Su, join the Nebula Federation military, and become a soldier guarding the border battlefield, resisting the insectoids.

 

“Yuchen, you and Huo Su were both excellent students from the military academy. After graduation, you were at least second lieutenants. You never served as low-level privates, so you don’t know what kind of things the real bastards in the military do,” Manyuin Hurst spoke at a moderate pace, recalling the past calmly. “Huo Su’s rank was not high at the time. Although she helped me a lot, it was far from enough.”

 

Yu Chen indeed had never been a private, but he could roughly imagine the kind of torment Manyuin Hurst would have faced as a private.

 

Alphas are naturally cold-blooded and combative. He and Fu Yanxi were considered decent people, but during their time at Anlos Military Academy, they often fought bloodily over personal grudges.

 

As Manyuin Hurst said, to some extent, Yu Chen was indeed lucky—Fu Yanxi’s father was a superior in the Galactic Empire, born into privilege. They fought each other daily, but Fu Yanxi never used his family background to suppress him. Did Manyuin Hurst have such luck? Obviously not.

 

“So is it because my mother didn’t help you enough?” Yu Chen asked him the reason. “You hate her, and you hate my mother too.”

 

Manyuin Hurst shook his head: “No, I don’t hate them. They are my best friends.”

 

Yun Xunguang’s prepared questions for Yu Chen were completely useless. After Manyuin Hurst sat down, he told everything they wanted to know. He said: “We will die because tragedy is destined to come.”

 

War is always the cruelest tragedy.

 

Life is precious, but on the battlefield, the most worthless thing is a soldier’s life.

 

Manyuin Hurst considered himself quite lucky because he didn’t die on the battlefield. He endured long-term bullying and humiliation, endured until Huo Su was promoted to general, until he was promoted to colonel, until Ran Xuechen was famous without his burden, until the children of his two close friends were born.

 

On the day Ran Xuechen gave birth, he waited with Huo Su outside the ward.

 

When he heard Yu Chen’s crying, Manyuin Hurst felt as if he saw a ray of dawn breaking through the darkness—he had finally endured until the future of everyone seemed to be moving toward the light.

 

This child was a sign of their beautiful and happy future.

 

But after the holiday ended and he returned to the border battlefield, this illusion gradually faded.

 

The corruption of the Nebula Federation military was beyond imagination. Manyuin Hurst and Huo Su fought the most ferocious and cruel insectoids in the galaxy with the worst military equipment. They used injuries, blood, and countless soldiers’ lives to defend the first border line, but only defended it—they couldn’t completely annihilate and drive away the Severir insectoids.

 

Before Manyuin Hurst joined the military, one starry night six months after his partner Cen Meng died, Huo Su pulled Manyuin Hurst to sit on a small hill and look at the starry sky, laughing heartily: “Manyuin, let me tell you, Cen Meng died so hilariously, hahahaha…”

 

“The accident investigation report said he died because the mecha was old and the fire control system couldn’t start. So when the king insect came, this thing became his iron coffin. Isn’t that funny?”

 

Manyuin Hurst didn’t laugh. Huo Su laughed with tears all over her face. She said: “If you had been awake then, you would have understood mecha repairs. Before missions, they always asked for help to check if the mechas had any problems.”

 

“I’m sorry.” Manyuin Hurst apologized to her.

 

During that time, Manyuin Hurst was seriously injured. When he woke up, Cen Meng’s funeral had already been held.

 

Huo Su also said: “Don’t apologize. It’s not your fault.”

 

“With just this broken report, I urged and urged. They couldn’t suppress it for half a year before they were willing to give me an explanation…” Huo Su murmured, “When will the war end?”

 

Manyuin Hurst told her: “It won’t end.”

 

Some people think there are so many people in the galaxy. What’s the big deal if some die? The first border line fell, but there are still the second and third border lines. Moreover, there are too many stakeholders involved in the Nebula Federation’s military industry. Once war is stimulated and developed, it’s hard to stop.

 

Furthermore, will the war end after driving the Severir insectoids out of the galaxy? Not necessarily. It’s more likely to turn from united against the outside to civil war. So maintaining the status quo and paying the fixed price of some frontline soldiers’ lives seems to be the most cost-effective choice.

 

But Huo Su still firmly believed: “The war will end.”

 

“Xuechen said her blueprints were almost finished.” She lowered her voice. “The power gap between us and the Severir insectoids can be bridged by 3S mechas. Once 3S mechas are produced, we can end the war.”

 

Manyuin Hurst was pessimistic about this, frowning and asking: “Can their team protect the blueprints?”

 

“No, so they’ve been telling the government that the progress is only halfway done.” Huo Su said. “She decided that once the blueprints are finished, she will open source them directly. Not making the design public will only make it a tool for the Federation to profit from, not to repel the insectoids.”

 

Manyuin Hurst wished: “I hope Xuechen succeeds.”

 

After a pause, he added: “I also hope I can see the day you said, when the war ends.”

 

“Even if we can’t see it.” Huo Su nodded. “Yuchen will definitely see it.”

 

Manyuin Hurst smiled: “Yes.”

 

But this day was still far away.

 

Especially when Manyuin Hurst’s entire squad was ambushed by king insects in a frontline battle, with more than half the team members poisoned by insect venom, he was even more certain: he would not live to see this day.

 

Insect venom treatment was expensive and technically troublesome. After being poisoned, they shouldn’t wait for rescue but should burn their remaining lives and die together with the king insects, fulfilling their final value.

 

Manyuin Hurst calmly accepted his fate.

 

A teammate named “Wei Huan,” who was also poisoned by insect venom, said: “I want to go home… I want to see my parents one last time. They… have no other sons.”

 

“Then go home. What are you thinking? No one needs to sacrifice.” The captain said. “We’re not surrounded by insectoids with no hope of rescue. We’re all going home. I’ve already contacted the rescue fleet.”

 

Who knew that after learning their entire twelve-person team had ten members poisoned by insect venom, and there were still three king insects lurking on the planet, the rescue fleet evaluated the rescue risks and benefits and refused the rescue request. The scent of “honey cocoons” could easily attract more king insects, and they couldn’t ensure that during the rescue process, super-variant Leviathans wouldn’t open jump travel and bring more king insects to take away the “honey cocoons”… The reasons were too long, but really just two words were enough: “no rescue.”

 

Everyone fell silent after hearing this.

 

The captain said: “The military is completely rotten.”

 

“I’m an orphan with no parents to see, no wife or children. I can kill one king insect so you can go home.” Manyuin Hurst removed his light brain and handed it to Wei Huan. “Call General Huo Su’s communication. She should also be on a mission and can’t be reached now. Hold on here and keep calling. Once she receives the communication, she’ll definitely come to take you away.”

 

Another teammate who was also poisoned by insect venom stepped forward: “Manyuin, I’ll go with you.”

 

“Count me in too.” The captain also left his communication light brain for the remaining teammates, gritting his teeth: “We’ll solve all three king insects for them. Let’s see what excuse they have not to rescue people.”

 

Manyuin Hurst, the captain, and their teammate split into three groups to attract different king insects, finally detonating their mecha core sources to trade lives with the king insects.

 

He watched as his teammates and captain successively turned into brilliant flashes of light on the horizon. However, the captain’s explosion went off target and didn’t kill the king insect, but fortunately another teammate who caught up delivered the final fatal blow.

 

Manyuin Hurst also pressed the detonation button, wanting to merge himself into the light.

 

But the light didn’t respond to him—the mecha’s main control system kept reminding him that the fire control system connection components were damaged and broken, connection failed, telling him to immediately cease combat and contact maintenance personnel for mecha repair.

 

“Hahahaha…”

 

After being stunned, Manyuin Hurst began to laugh. He thought of the joke Huo Su had told him about how Cen Meng died: “This way of dying is really quite funny.”

 

He was also going to die in an iron coffin.

 

He hoped that when Huo Su held his funeral, she would just laugh and not cry for him.

 

Manyuin Hurst closed his eyes, waiting for death to come. He wasn’t worried about his teammates. He believed someone would replace him to kill this king insect, and he believed that after Huo Su received Wei Huan’s call, she would definitely come to take Wei Huan home.

 

However, Manyuin Hurst did not die.

 

When he opened his eyes, he found himself still on that desolate planet.

 

His teammates had saved him.

 

All the king insects were dead, and rescue still hadn’t come.

 

Of the twelve-person elite squad, only seven remained.

 

Wei Huan returned the light brain to him, and Manyuin Hurst knelt there, continuously calling Huo Su’s communication—this was their last hope.

 

They kept waiting until Wei Huan’s first venom attack, when silver tears flowed from his eye sockets and he vomited silver blood from his mouth, dying in painful screams. The Nebula Federation’s rescue fleet still hadn’t come.

 

But Huo Su’s communication was finally connected.

 

Huo Su asked for their planet coordinates in the communication, saying she would come immediately.

 

But the surviving teammates, including the two who weren’t poisoned by insect venom, all shook their heads at Manyuin Hurst.

 

Manyuin Hurst raised his face, looking at the super-variant Leviathan biological ship that had jumped down from the sky, blocking all starlight and bringing heavy darkness. He curved his lips and bid farewell to his close friend: “…Huo Su, don’t come. Goodbye.”
