Chapter 361 Return

"They're chasing us!!"

Cang Hong didn't dare to stop at all and kept flying forward.

Although his beast form has wings, his flying ability is not very outstanding, so he needs several people on his back to help attack from behind and slow down their speed.

Shi Lichuan held a long spear in his hand and kept shooting at the rear.

Lying beside him were the wounded Yun Xie and Mo Chen.

When they found Yun Xie that day, he was almost unable to hold on, and most of the orc warriors beside him were just corpses.

Only Mo Chen is still alive.

So they quickly rescued the two from the beast tide, and both he and Cang Hong were injured.

Then the four of them started to run for their lives.

The strange beasts behind him were chasing him closely.

They didn't dare to stop and board the spaceship because they were afraid that the strange beasts would swarm over and destroy the spaceship.

"Cang Hong, go take a look at the collapsed city ahead!"

If there are survivors, they can rescue them, gather more people to clear the way, and board the spacecraft.

Otherwise, if they drag it out longer and Cang Hong’s riot value rises to 80%, they will be finished.

Cang Hong said nothing, just kept flying.

He felt his body was deadly heavy.

***

May 8th.

When citizens of the Federation and the Empire woke up and saw the news, they felt like the sky had fallen.

[After discussions among many countries, the joint committee decided to destroy the currently occupied planet at 12:00 noon on May 8.

We are deeply saddened by this decision, but for the sake of the greater good, we have no choice but to make it.

This day will also be recorded in the history of the stars.

Jiang Qin could no longer bear to watch the silent tribute that followed.

She rushed downstairs, found Yuan Ling, and asked with anticipation and pleading, "Is there a spaceship that can reach the frontline planet within four hours?"

According to the current speed of interstellar spacecraft, it would take them at least more than ten hours to reach the frontline planet, and it would have to be a privately modified planet.

Therefore, it is simply a pipe dream to want a spacecraft to reach the frontline star in four hours or even three hours.

Even though Yuan Ling felt very sorry for Jiang Qin who was about to cry, he could only shake his head.

"I can only get the ship to arrive in about eight hours."

"I'm sorry for putting you in a difficult position." Jiang Qin's voice was choked with sobs.

As she lowered her eyes, tears fell to the ground.

Due to her personality, she even cried silently.

This scene made Yuan Ling feel heartbroken.

At this moment, he regretted it.

If he had known this day would come, he would have worked harder and focused more on developing faster spacecraft.

Yuan Ling didn't know how to comfort them, so he could only whisper, "I'll help you contact them. Maybe they've already left the frontline planet."

"Thank you for your help."

Facing Jiang Qin, whose facial features were slightly red from crying, Yuan Ling had never been so annoyed by his clumsiness.

I can only rely on what I am good at to help her.

Soon, he contacted Shi Lichuan's computer, but no one answered.

But it doesn't matter, he can directly control the computer on the other side to answer the call and open the video communication.

In the picture, Shi Lichuan is shooting with two guns.

There were many strange beasts around him, and of course many orcs.

Some transformed into beast forms and fought in front, while others regained their human forms and fought beside him with weapons in hand.

Judging from the situation, they are now in the process of breaking out, so it is no wonder that Shi Lichuan did not notice the communication news.

I didn't even notice that the call was forced through.

Jiang Qin hurriedly and nervously reminded, "Shi Lichuan, the federal military will destroy the planet at 12 o'clock sharp. You must leave this planet before then!!"

"Qinqin?"

Shi Lichuan, holding the gun, paused for a moment and then continued firing.

"Yes, it's me. Don't be distracted. I just want to tell you when the planet will be destroyed."

"You will return safely, right?"

Before Shi Lichuan could say anything, Cang Hong appeared in front of the computer camera with a bloody face.

"Qinqin, don't worry, we will be able to return home safely."

"Don't worry, I promise I'll bring them home."

Jiang Qin said with a dry throat, "Since you have promised, you can't go back on your word. I will wait for you to come back."

After saying that, he hung up the phone first to avoid distracting them.

It must be said that knowing that they were already breaking out did ease her mood a little.

But I still can't help but feel worried.

After all, they can still escape danger at this moment...

Although I comforted myself in my heart not to underestimate them, as they were all excellent males, I could not calm down without accurate information.

Whenever this happened, she couldn't help but find something to do.

Thinking of the moment when the front-line star defense line was breached and the many people who had not returned yet, she had an idea.

***

An hour later, a new song was quietly uploaded to Jiang Qin's homepage on Starnet.

The Return

Although everyone was in a heavy mood, they still clicked on the song.

A low, even somewhat heavy tone rang in people's ears.

"Like a flickering candlelight in the depths of the night

The warmth of my gaze melting the snow and wind fell on the way home

…

Where the snow falls peacefully

Young blood is boiling

…

People have the same wishes

Wait until all things grow and return to their hometown..."

Before I knew it, the song in my ears seemed to be playing over and over again.

The somber melody and mesmerizing lyrics all tug at the hearts of the audience.

Come back!

When they came to their senses, many people had warm tears rolling down their faces.

[This song brought back a lot of memories for me, my partner was a Union soldier.

He has been stationed on many planets, with unmelting glaciers, sand dunes of eternal darkness, waters in constant storms, and jungles full of dangers.

But this time, he may never be able to go home.]

[When everything grows back, can they really go home?]

If there really is an underworld and a judge in this world, can they give these poor souls a good ending?

[The time for destroying the planet is getting closer and closer. We can do nothing but feel regret.]

[I can only pray that the survivors who have received the news will hurry up and leave.]

[Congratulations to Qinbao for returning home safely...]

But there were still too many people who couldn't go home, so everyone was in a heavy mood and couldn't laugh even when playing on the computer.

If the song hadn't been released by Jiang Qin, they probably wouldn't have bothered to click on it.

But the song was released by Jiang Qin, so out of habit, they would always click on it first.

Unexpectedly, I couldn't stop listening to it.

My mind is full of that sentence: People's wishes are the same, wait until all things grow and return home...

But nothing on the frontline planet will grow anymore, and the people on the frontline planet won't be able to return home...
