Chapter 1

[Alarm—Alarm—]

[Detected that the starship's right hull was under heavy attack, with 70% damage.]

[Engine damage reaches 76%, insufficient power source, please make an emergency landing!]

The woman with black hair and black eyes took off the mask that had been covering her face for years, revealing her heroic face. She stretched out her long legs and walked quickly to the operating table.

She is tall, about 1.75 meters, with a well-proportioned and strong figure. Even though she is wrapped in a marshal's uniform, one can feel the vigorous power hidden under the clothes.

The alarm sounded accompanied by a flickering red light, and the text on the virtual screen flashed rapidly, reflected in Yun Piancheng's eyes.

She had a cold face, sharp eyes, furrowed eyebrows, tense facial muscles, and her hands moved quickly.

[Warning: This operation will cause the pressure to exceed the threshold, causing the starship to self-destruct.]

[Warning: The remaining power source is insufficient, and the starship cannot reach its destination. ]

[Warning: The hull is 78% damaged, the protective layer cannot be opened, and the jump cannot be carried out.]

A feeling of irritation rose in his heart. Yun Piancheng clenched his fists tightly, his joints making a crisp sound, and then slowly loosened them.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions that made her want to give up her plan, make the fake play real, and die. She turned off all the warnings, used the iris detection authority, pushed the starship's power to the highest level, and set the destination at the nearest planet under the management of the alliance capital.

The huge push on her back made Yun Piancheng take a step back, but her physical fitness from years of combat allowed her to quickly stabilize her body.

She twisted her body, tightened her core, exerted force on her legs, left the operating room, and ran quickly towards the safety cabin.

[Alarm—Alarm—]

[The starship will self-destruct in ten seconds. The escape route has been opened. Please evacuate as soon as possible!]

[10, 9, 8...]

Yun Piancheng quickly got into the safety cabin.

【5, 4, 3……】

The door of the safety cabin vibrated, slowly closed, and then suddenly ejected like a star missile.

【2, 1……】

Sound cannot be transmitted in the vacuum of space. The miniature starship, the size of a three-story building, exploded silently, flames bursting out in all directions, and the wreckage of the starship shot in all directions like shotgun bullets.

Like a tragic silent drama.

The safety cabin where Yun Piancheng was located was pushed in the opposite direction as planned by the impact of the explosion, and the starship debris hit the outer shell of the safety cabin hard.

The safety cabin protection program was activated, the special coating on the outside was insulated, and the cabin was quickly cooled down. The cabin was filled with airbags to reduce the impact of the impact on Yun Piancheng.

Yun Piancheng endured the collision, closed his eyes tiredly, suppressed the nausea of ​​being forced to survive with responsibilities and missions, and counted down in his heart.

According to the speed and calculation results, she should soon be captured by the gravity of a nearby unidentified planet.

Yun Piancheng is the marshal of the alliance. Yesterday, he settled the last galaxy hostile to the alliance and presided over the signing of an interstellar peace treaty.

Today she was summoned to return secretly alone, but her whereabouts were leaked by an "insider". The remnants of the Anti-Alliance ambushed her starship and all of them were destroyed. However, the starship she was on was severely damaged, so she had to resort to such extreme measures to survive.

And this is her mission.

suspended animation.

Yun Piancheng still remembers the cheerful face of the Fat Alliance leader before the expedition.

The fat manager said, "Piancheng, it's not easy for you as a girl. You've been fighting for the Alliance with your parents since you were young, and now you've inherited the mantle and are still working hard. It's time to relax. After completing the first phase, take this opportunity to take a vacation. We will take care of the second phase."

"For peace." said the fat manager.

Yun Piancheng was wearing a mask, and his voice came from behind the mask, with a cold tone: "For peace."

*

After gradually adapting to the feeling of weightlessness, Yun Piancheng carefully sensed the direction of the safety cabin's fall.

58 seconds, 59 seconds.

Something was wrong, Yun Piancheng suddenly opened his eyes.

According to her calculations before departure, the safety capsule should have been pulled by the gravity of the unknown planet when the reading reached the 56th second.

Was it the impact of the starship debris that caused the safety capsule to deviate from its planned route?

The resources on the safety capsule are extremely limited. If she cannot successfully land on a planet with life, she will starve to death in the empty universe and completely say goodbye to this world full of disorder and chaos.

Not bad.

It would be her honor to die fighting for the Alliance, Yun Piancheng thought, but she couldn't die.

If she really died in the universe, the plan to uncover the traitor among the top leaders of the alliance would fail completely. After these termites were lured out, they would be completely out of control and would redivide the galaxy for their own selfish reasons, starting wars and chaos. The casualties among the people would increase.

But Yun Piancheng hated this feeling of being out of control, and she closed her eyes in annoyance.

Two seconds later, she suddenly opened her eyes.

The safety capsule was pulled by gravity and its falling direction changed. She was thrown towards the airbag on the left due to inertia.

The stone in his heart fell to the ground, but a secret sense of loss rose in Yun Piancheng's heart.

I can't die.

Waiting for landing is a slightly long process. From entering the atmosphere to landing on the ground, it takes about half an hour. The specific duration may vary slightly due to the gravitational constant of the planet.

Yun Piancheng felt a little tired. The fat manager was right. She needed to rest.

Thanks to her genes, she has been very sensitive to emotions since she was a child and is prone to negative emotions.

But she is the leader of the alliance army, a woman who has overcome all difficulties to ascend to the position of marshal. She cannot spread negative emotions to the army, as doing so will allow people with ulterior motives to spread public opinion, and secondly, it will be detrimental to the stability of the army's morale.

The killing and fighting day after day, the high-intensity physical strain and the constantly suppressed emotions that had nowhere to be released were almost crushing her.

She hated war and this world that was corrupted and chaotic by interests, but she could never let go of those innocent people.

She could finally free her mind in a space without anyone else, otherwise she would drive herself to death.

Yun Piancheng didn’t know how long she had been in a daze. The boring waiting and the relaxation of her body made her drowsy.

The safety cabin began to shake violently without any warning. Yun Piancheng immediately came to his senses, adjusted his posture, and prepared to land.

The small safety cabin streaked across the sky like a meteor, its target locked onto a forest.

The recoil device is activated, ejecting a large amount of gas to cushion the deceleration.

As the safety capsule was about to land, the shock-absorbing protective layer popped out, wrapping the safety capsule like a giant capsule.

boom--

The escape hatch crushed a group of trees, creating a deep crater in the forest.

Yun Piancheng clenched his teeth and tried to swallow back the blood that was surging in his throat.

The deformed hatch opened and fresh air poured in. Yun Piancheng fell to the ground and finally couldn't hold it in anymore and spit out a mouthful of blood mixed with internal organs and tissue fragments.

She turned over and lay flat on her back, adjusting her breathing and sensing the changes happening in her body.

She appeared to have broken two ribs this time.

The tip of the rib pierced into his internal organs, and waves of severe pain stimulated Yun Piancheng's cerebral cortex.

There were first aid equipment in the safety cabin, but she didn't have the strength to get up and get it.

It was such a long wait for death, Yun Piancheng said to himself, it would have been better if he had been blown to death in the starship from the beginning.

She forced her eyelids open to prevent herself from falling asleep.

I really want to die.

She can't die.

So tired.

Looking at the clear blue sky, Yun Piancheng only felt his brain groggy and his vitality slowly fading away.

When his physical strength recovered to the critical point, Yun Piancheng exerted force with his arms, stood up shakily, and staggered towards the safety cabin.

At this time, all the airbags have been retracted, and the facilities inside the cabin are clearly visible.

Yun Piancheng held onto the cabin door and stumbled in, unaware that all his actions were seen by an unknown creature the size of a palm.

The creature was a white ball, like a plush toy, with big round black eyes blinking.

The white ball shook twice, as if sensing some kind of breath, and then its eyes lit up, and it jumped towards the safety cabin.

Perhaps because he felt that his jumping speed was too slow, he simply rolled over. As a result, his eyes were spinning and he couldn't tell east from west. He could only bump around following his breath.

Fortunately, he can clean himself, so dust can't get on him at all, otherwise, he will turn into a gray ball!

The white ball rolled to the side of the safety cabin, flattened itself with a puff, and successfully braked on its face.

He controlled his body, bounced back into a round shape, jumped back a step, adjusted the distance and perspective, and stared at the tall biped in the cabin.

Mmm——smells good!

It's this food.

The white ball sensed it gently and secretly took two gulps of air.

The white ball jumped into the safety cabin and climbed up along the wall where Yun Piancheng was sitting with his eyes closed, and stopped on Yun Piancheng's head.

Let’s eat!

Yun Piancheng woke up almost the moment Bai Tuanzi approached her, but Bai Tuanzi moved too fast. She had just been injected with a quick-healing injection and a nutrient injection, and her injuries had not yet recovered. She had no way of catching it, and she couldn't even see what kind of creature it was.

The white ball landed on top of her head, which was an extremely unsettling position. Yun Piancheng instinctively slapped the white ball away with his backhand.

The soft white ball stuck to the inner wall of the safety cabin, fell to the ground with a plop, twisted its body, and faced Yun Piancheng.

His big round eyes were narrowed, and he looked very unhappy.

"...What is this?" Yun Piancheng drooped his eyelids and saw Bai Tuanzi's true face clearly, but he was rarely confused.

This is a creature that has never appeared in the atlas of interstellar creatures. It looks like a small sleeping doll that street kids would like.

I don't know if it's harmful.

"Chirp!" The white ball made a small sound.

What do you mean by "things"? Bai Tuanzi was angry.

But after making the sound, even Baituanzi himself was stunned.

When did he...begin to scream? Did he have a mouth?

Wait? When did he acquire the ability to think?

It seemed like he was attracted by the food and accidentally swallowed the air.

Following the evolutionary instinct of living things, Baituanzi could probably guess that the negative emotions of the person in front of him were too pure, which accelerated his growth.

Yes, he is actually a little monster that specializes in eating negative emotions. He is the only one of his kind in the world, but because the place where he lives is too remote, he has always remained in his infancy.

After figuring this out, Baituanzi's flat black eyes became round again.

Then he would reluctantly forgive the food’s rudeness!

The white ball rushed towards Yun Piancheng at lightning speed. Yun Piancheng subconsciously raised his hand to block it, but was bitten by the white ball.

Such a soft touch.

The soft fur of the white ball rubbed against Yun Piancheng's hand, making her heart skip a beat.

It seems...it doesn't hurt.

This white ball has no attack power, Yun Piancheng concluded, labeled the white ball as "harmless", raised his other hand and held the white ball.

pinch.

"Chiu!" The ball flattened and bounced back.

Pinch again.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp!" Tuanzi got angry and bit Yun Piancheng hard with his newly grown fangs until he bled. Then he made two "Pooh" sounds and moved away in disgust.

For some reason, Yun Piancheng's mood would improve a lot whenever he came into contact with this little thing.

The long-lost sense of relief was like an awning that suddenly collapsed during a rainstorm, catching her off guard and drenching her.

Yun Piancheng had suffered many injuries, and a bite was actually nothing.

The corners of her mouth rarely rose, and she lowered her voice: "You have a bad temper."

"Although I don't know if I will die inexplicably, I will try my best to take good care of you."

"Follow me, your name is Ji Huai."

A vindictive little scoundrel.
