Xiaohanxing (2)

A bullet swept into the independent cabin, almost glancing at the sides of Shi Jianxia and Gongye Jiwang's legs before sinking into the ground.

The scorching air current swept past, leaving behind a charred bullet mark. It was a bullet fired with insect crystal as its energy source. If an ordinary person was hit by it, the wound would bleed profusely.

Shi Jianxia whispered, "There's a man on each side of the passage. You on the right, I'll be on the left. Attack at the same time!"

Gongye Jiwang nodded, and after a brief pause, the two of them rushed out of the door at the same time.

The failure of the gravity system was probably a tampering done by terrorists in order to capture the interstellar spacecraft more quickly, but the shoes of the spare space suit and the ground of the interstellar spacecraft were specially made, and as long as the two were in contact, the gravity effect could still be generated.

This is one of the reasons why the two men wore space suits in the first place. Although they had both received weightlessness training, their bodies had adapted to the gravity environment, and their combat effectiveness in weightlessness would be somewhat inferior.

In addition, they also need to be prepared for the possibility of the interstellar spacecraft being destroyed and depressurized, and dying from lack of oxygen due to insufficient equipment.

The transparent energy shield unfolded, and the Zhu Yan sword appeared in Shi Jianxia's palm. In the blink of an eye, he rushed towards the terrorist who was wearing a space suit and holding a heavy machine gun, ready to pull the trigger at any time.

Two figures flashed out, and the terrorist subconsciously raised his gun, but his speed was too slow for Shi Jianxia. He didn't even have time to pull the trigger, and Zhu Yan's sword pierced his arm, leaving a big bloody hole.

The intense pain caused him to reflexively let go, and the heavy machine gun fell down and landed in Shi Jianxia's outstretched hand.

Before the terrorist could scream, Shi Jianxia blocked his mouth with his bloody palm, and he could only let out a few faint whimpers.

Shi Jianxia raised his leg and kicked him in the knee.

The kick was so powerful that thin beads of cold sweat immediately appeared on the terrorist's forehead. When he fell to his knees, he saw his companion who was ambushing on the other side of the corridor being easily captured by Gongye Jiwang.

Both of them are people with special abilities, but their levels are not high, and their mimicry is nothing special. Faced with the outstanding military cadets carefully trained by the five major military academies of the Federation, they have no power to resist at all.

Shi Jianxia put the heavy machine gun back into the space bracelet, raised his sword and pressed it against the terrorist's neck, asking coldly, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

The hatch of the independent module was locked, indicating that the main control system of the interstellar spacecraft had been controlled by terrorists and the situation was critical.

The terrorist moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out. Shi Jianxia's heart was filled with alarm and he pinched his jaw, but he was still a step too late.

The heat hit, and the terrorist turned into a bloody mist amidst the dull explosion. Shi Jianxia reflexively raised his hand to block it. The bloody mist mixed with minced meat hit the energy shield, making crackling sounds.

Self-destructed!

Ahead, Gongye Jiwang encountered the same situation as her.

The energy shield was removed and the two walked quickly together.

Gongye Jiwang said, "The interstellar spacecraft is probably under complete control. We should proceed according to the previous plan and be careful."

Shi Jianxia nodded.

The two went in opposite directions.

-

The explosion just now made quite a noise. Shi Jianxia just walked out of the corridor when he met two terrorists who came for patrol. They were wearing space suits like the two men just now, and their faces were hidden under the isolation helmets, so their specific appearance could not be seen clearly.

Shi Jianxia held the Zhu Yan sword in his hand, listened carefully to the sound of their approaching footsteps, and when the distance was enough, he rushed out from the back of the corridor without hesitation and was in front of the two men in a flash!

She did not try to interrogate the terrorists as she had done before, but instead slashed their throats, took away the heavy machine gun, and walked forward decisively.

This interstellar spaceship is not very big. After the corridor is the ordinary cabin. Shi Jianxia did not go directly over, but hid in the corner and released Meng Ji.

Meng Ji has reached level four, and his current hiding ability is far superior to what it was before. Even in a place with brighter light, as long as you don't see it directly, you can't detect its existence.

Two terrorists with heavy machine guns were guarding the door of the cabin. It was quiet inside. The passengers must have been threatened and dared not make a sound.

Meng Ji almost blended into the environment. He approached quietly and roughly saw the situation in the cabin from a distance of more than ten meters.

All the empty seats were cleared, and all the passengers were sitting in their seats with their seatbelts fastened, their hands on their heads, and lined up in two rows with their backs to each other. Four terrorists were patrolling on both sides with guns, and several other terrorists could be seen scattered throughout the cabin.

There are no less than ten people. If they take direct action, the risk is too great. If they cannot catch all the terrorists in one fell swoop, there is a possibility of casualties.

Suddenly, Shi Jianxia's gaze stopped.

One of the terrorists wore a badge on his left arm with a blue flame pattern printed on it. The flame pattern was lifelike, as if it was flowing in the wind.

This flame...

It's the imitation of that imposter!

What was she trying to do? Why hijack a starship out of nowhere?

Before Shi Jianxia could think more, the interstellar spacecraft suddenly turned and accelerated, and a dull explosion sounded through the vibration of the wall.

She also slammed herself against the wall because of this sudden change.

The speed of the interstellar spacecraft continued to increase, exceeding the speed limit stipulated for normal navigation. It seemed as if it was about to crash into something and kill everyone in the cabin.

Shi Jianxia was shocked by his own thoughts. He was about to contact Gongye Jiwang through the nine-tailed fox to ask about the situation over there, when he suddenly heard terrified cries coming from the cabin.

She stood up by holding onto the wall, and saw a terrorist suddenly burst into a blue flame all over his body.

The flames climbed upwards and burned it to ashes in the blink of an eye, leaving not even a bone. Ordinary people could not bear such a shock and cried and screamed.

Why did it suddenly combust?

While he was thinking, another terrorist was engulfed in flames.

The third one! The fourth one! The fifth one!

They seemed to be performing a strange sacrifice.

The screams of fear in the cabin became louder and louder. Almost every passenger believed that these strange flames would burn them in the next second, and despair surged like a tide.

The remaining terrorists watched their companions being engulfed by flames with expressionless faces, and even leaned forward slightly, waiting for the arrival of the eerie flames.

They are pious and numb.

Bang!

Something slammed heavily into the surface of the starship, and a flaming terrorist in the cabin fell to the ground on impact, rolling forward a few times.

The passengers who were hit were like flammable straw and were engulfed in flames in an instant!

Just as Shi Jianxia was about to step forward, the spacecraft shook violently again and began to fall rapidly as if pulled by some force. She also fell to the ground suddenly in the shaking. Fortunately, her center of gravity was stable enough and she grabbed the handrail on the wall in time and did not fall.

At the same time, a mechanical electronic sound came from the radio.

"Warning! The spacecraft's right chord thruster is damaged! Unable to maintain normal navigation!"

"Warning! The spacecraft is being pulled by the gravity of an unknown planet!"

"Warning! The spacecraft did not receive the tower signal! Unable to make an emergency landing!"

"Warning! The spacecraft is low on fuel! It will crash in three minutes!"

"The countdown to the crash begins—"

The series of warnings made one's scalp tingle, and the continuous countdown was like a butcher knife hanging over the passengers' heads, clearly telling everyone that it would plunder their lives when the number returned to zero!

Shi Jianxia broke out in a cold sweat, his brain racing about what to do.

Jump ship?

She has mimicry, so the possibility of her escaping is very high.

But if that happens, the other passengers on the starship will have no way out.

Mimicry to the rescue?

Yinglong? Zhulong?

No, the power of mimicry comes from the person with the ability. Although both have inherent advantages, the mass of the interstellar spacecraft is too large. In addition, it fell from space into the interior of a planet, and the acceleration of gravity is immeasurable. Even if she summoned all the mimicry, it would be impossible to lift the falling interstellar spacecraft!

Got it!

Flying mimics such as Yinglong can be used to carry passengers away.

Cold sweat rolled down his forehead as "Classic of Mountains and Seas" left the fountain of spiritual power.

The black and gold cover opened, the pages rustled, and bursts of dragon roars came from far away. Just as Xia was about to summon all the flying dragon mimics, an explosion suddenly sounded!

At the moment the flames erupted, the mechanical voice that was still broadcasting the countdown let out a strange laugh and suddenly dropped from 151 to 0!

Shi Jianxia's pupils dilated and he turned around and rushed into the cabin without hesitation.

The dark blue flame disappeared at some point, and the entire cabin was filled with fear. She wanted to do something, but all she could hear was the sound of crying.

His vision was out of focus, and after a brief blank in his brain, he was filled with intense pain. Shi Jianxia took a deep breath, but still couldn't control the invasion of severe pain. He knelt forward uncontrollably and happened to touch a soft and delicate hand.

She subconsciously held onto that hand, as if it were a life-saving straw, and hurriedly tore off the safety belt tied to the other person.

A scorching air wave gushed out from behind him. Shi Jianxia hugged the crying little girl tightly and was swept away by the air wave formed by the explosion!

In a trance, Shi Jianxia heard a strange chuckle. The familiar voice was close to her ear and said slowly: "Number Seven, you will sleep here forever?"

The dark blue flame was like a wisp of smoke, crushed in the rolling air waves.

Shi Jianxia fell straight down, and in the biting cold wind, he saw snow flying all over the sky.

-

"Dad, where are you going?" The little girl grabbed the corner of her father's clothes and looked up nervously.

The young major general turned around, wiped a tear from the little girl's eye with his fingertips, and whispered softly, "Dad is going to find Xia Xia's mother. He will be back soon."

The little girl hugged the major general's neck and sobbed, "I don't want my mother! I only want my father! Daddy, please don't leave!"

She had never seen her mother and had hoped very much that she would appear and hug her one day, but she never showed up, and gradually she stopped hoping.

The major general chuckled and patted the little girl's shoulder. "Little crybaby, mommy loves you so much, how can you not want her? She will be sad."

He kissed the little girl's cheek and whispered, "Xia Xia, remember what Daddy said. Never leave here until Daddy comes back, until you come of age."

After giving the final instructions, he almost forcefully pried open the little girl's arms, not even daring to look at her for another second, and walked out quickly.

-

"No! Don't go!" Shi Jianxia suddenly opened his eyes. As far as he could see, there was no father walking away, no anxious chaos, only snow falling outside the dilapidated roof.

She was gasping for breath, her heart beating violently in her chest, and the accelerated blood flow caused her to secrete hot and wet sweat.

It was a dream.

As his consciousness gradually returned, Shi Jianxia felt a furry ball curling into his arms. He looked down and saw that it was a nine-tailed fox.

The little guy snuggled in her arms, with his nine fluffy tails spread out, covering her like a quilt, his big amber eyes full of worry.

"Are you okay?" Gongye Jiwang's cold voice came.

Shi Jianxia looked over blankly and saw him sitting with his legs propped up on a pile of dead branches covered with his coat. His left arm seemed to be injured and bandaged, and a three-year-old girl was curled up in his arms.

The little girl was wrapped in his clothes, sleeping in his arms with her hands in her pockets, her slightly red cheeks reflecting the dancing firelight in front of her.

Shi Jianxia raised her hand to press her forehead. Her slightly cold hands were soaked with sweat, and she felt a little bad. She wiped them with her right sleeve, turned over and sat up, only then she realized that she was also covered with Gongye Jiwang's coat.

It was a mid-length uniform of the Zerg Investigation Department, covering her ankles. As it slid down, a faint cool fragrance wafted out, like pine and bamboo, like frost and snow, sweet and cool.

Shi Jianxia pursed her lips and shook her head, "I'm fine."

She uttered three short words, her lips moving for a long time before she whispered, "How's the interstellar spaceship?"

She should have known the answer, but she still couldn't help but ask.

"It was blown up." Gongye Jiwang answered calmly.

There was no emotion in his voice, as if he had experienced the ups and downs of life. "Only the three of us survived."

Shi Jianxia's pupils trembled slightly, and after a long moment, he slowly exhaled, "Is that so."

Gongye Jiwang nodded and recounted his experience. "When I arrived at the control cabin, everyone inside was dead. The autopilot system was damaged, and the control console was completely destroyed. The spacecraft had deviated from its original course and collided with a large meteorite. The thrusters were damaged, and the lack of power caused it to deviate again and enter a dangerous star field."

"This was a premeditated terrorist act."

No hostages, no demands, just a desire to bring the entire spacecraft down.

Shi Jianxia could almost guess the situation from the last warning broadcast of the interstellar spacecraft. She hugged the nine-tailed fox and gently rested her chin on its soft fur.

"It's coming for me."

Gongye Jiwang turned to look at her.

"It was someone from Higanbana who did it. Her intention was to kill me, but I don't know why she did it."

Her voice was a little low, mixed with complicated emotions, but Gongye Jiwang could clearly feel her sadness.

He gently lifted the little girl in his arms and sat next to Shi Jianxia. He lifted the coat she had thrown aside with one hand and covered her shoulders with it. "Her actions and intentions have nothing to do with you."

Shi Jianxia turned her head and looked at his cold profile. She suddenly felt that he was very interesting and good at comforting people.

She laughed softly: "Do you know where this is?"

The topic jumped too quickly and Gongye Jiwang was a little slow to react.

He shook his head. "I don't know."

"It should be a death star." Shi Jianxia replied.

It's deserted and there's no way out.

"What do you mean?" Gongye Jiwang asked.

"She knew an explosion wouldn't kill me, but it would probably put me on the Death Star, unable to leave or contact anyone else, where I'd be as good as dead."

Just now, she tried to use the jade card to convey information to the outside world, but found that the jade card prompted her that she was not in the service area.

If Shi Jianxia couldn't help laughing, she would have thought this tip was quite funny.

Gongye Jiwang was neither surprised nor frightened. He raised his eyebrows and said jokingly, "Doesn't that mean we'll have to depend on each other from now on?"

He didn't ask Shi Jianxia how she knew that it was the people from Higanbana who carried out the terrorist attack, nor did he ask that 'she' why she targeted her. He just had a very normal conversation with her.

It seems that they don't care about the answers to these questions, or they feel that red spider lily is no longer important to them now.

Shi Jianxia's bad mood eased a lot after hearing Gongye Jiwang's joking words.

She lowered her gaze to the face of the peacefully sleeping little girl, "Is she okay?"

Although she opened the energy shield in time when the explosion occurred, the impact of the aftermath still made her faint, and it was unknown whether the little girl was injured.

Gongye Jiwang shook his head. "You protected her very well. When I found you, she was hugging you and sobbing softly."

Fortunately, Shi Jianxia left the nine-tailed fox to him, otherwise the two would definitely have been separated.

Getting lost in such a deserted place is not a good thing.

Shi Jianxia hugged the nine-tailed fox with her head resting on her knees, looking at the little girl who was sleeping peacefully. Gongye Jiwang stopped talking and only occasionally added a few dry branches to the fire in front of him.

In the dark night sky, snow was flying, the wind was howling, and the world was cold.

Shi Jianxia lay down for a while, the heat in her body subsided, and she felt coolness on her fingertips. She glanced at Gongye Jiwang, who was only wearing a thin shirt, and released the phoenix from the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".

The temperature of the Nirvana Fire is very high. As long as the insect crystal is used as fuel, there is no need for the Phoenix to control it all the time.

The golden-red flames replaced the fire lit by Gongye Jiwang, and the surroundings suddenly became warmer. The two colorful birds, the Phoenix, did not like this cold environment, so they squatted down where Gongye Jiwang had just sat and lay down with their necks intertwined.

Shi Jianxia released Meng Ji again and asked him to keep watch nearby.

They were in a dilapidated house with a collapsed wall in the front and leaking wind on both sides. The roof was also broken, but it could barely keep out the snow. This kind of house had never been seen since Shi Jianxia traveled through time. It was more like an ordinary house that only existed in villages and towns before he traveled through time.

朏朏 also rolled out with a grunt. She wanted to rush to Shi Jianxia and act coquettishly with her, but after realizing that something was not right, she obediently jumped onto her shoulder and lay down.

It also glanced at Gongye Jiwang secretly, its big round eyes rolling around, as if wondering if he had made Shi Jianxia angry.

The nine-tailed fox poked its little head out from Shi Jianxia's arms, one of its tails lifted up and then quickly drooped down. Seeing this, Xixi also lifted up its big tail and nodded, and they started communicating without any obstacles.

Without Shi Jianxia's restraint, other kids who were eager to go out and have some fun also published "Classic of Mountains and Seas" one after another.

Some, seeing the ground covered with silver, were not afraid of the cold at all. They called their friends and rolled around in the snow. Soon they rolled themselves into snowballs, leaving only their two black eyes exposed, and swayed on the snow like penguins.

Some of them didn't like to join in the fun, and just lay in a row around the two of them, their little heads tilting from side to side, and no one knew what they were thinking.

The cubs came running over and rolled over, dispelling the loneliness and coldness in the dark night.

Gongye Jiwang chuckled and said, "It's quite lively. It seems that it's not bad to rely on each other."
