The girl slowly opened her eyes.

The first thing I saw was the unfamiliar ceiling.

I am...

The girl stared blankly at the dim ceiling in front of her, her mind still not quite clear. But soon, everything she had experienced before began to flash through her mind like a revolving lantern, fighting, explosions, failures, ruptures and... the moment when the girl's consciousness finally froze.

She still remembered that her mecha was destroyed and she was thrown into space. Then tentacles flew over and pierced her body...

“——!”

Thinking of this, the girl suddenly regained consciousness. She subconsciously sat up and pulled away the quilt covering herself. Only then did she realize that what she was wearing was not her original driving suit, but an ordinary-looking pajamas. She carefully lifted up her pajamas, only to see that her lower abdomen was smooth and flat, without any sign of injury, not even a scar could be seen.

Is this a dream?

The girl reached out and pulled her face.

It's not a dream.

So where is this???

It was only at this time that the girl put her mind at ease and began to look around. This was a very spacious guest room, not only with a warm and comfortable bed, but also with plush carpets. The edge of the ceiling was lit with a warm light, which, combined with the furniture placed in the room, gave people a warm and comfortable feeling.

Is this... Sidonia? No, it doesn't look like...

The girl's first thought was that she was rescued by her companions, but she quickly rejected her idea. Everything here was too new, and such a spacious area to accommodate so many furniture was quite rare in Sidonia. After all, in order to improve efficiency, the living space of most people on her warship was very narrow, and due to the lack of resources, everything would be recycled. Furniture would not be replaced for decades, let alone so clean and beautiful...

Is this the legendary paradise?

"laugh--"

As the girl was looking around in confusion, she saw the door of a room not far away open, and then a girl with long dark blue hair and strange clothes came in with a plate. Seeing the girl sitting in the bed, she smiled slightly.

"Are you awake? How are you feeling? Are you okay? Can you understand what I'm saying?"

"Ah... yes, I'm fine, please..."

"My name is Raiden Mei, you can just call me Mei."

As she spoke, Mei Raiden placed the plate in her hand on the table next to the girl.

The girl also stood up hurriedly.

"Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Xing Baixian. May I ask... who I am..."

Looking at Mei Raiden at this moment, Hoshiro's mind was in a mess. She had many questions to ask, but she didn't know how to ask them. Mei Raiden smiled at her, as if she noticed Hoshiro's expression.

"Don't be so nervous. I know you have a lot of questions to ask, but you just woke up, so you should rest for a while and eat something - there's a bathroom and a change of clothes over there. I'll be waiting for you outside, so take your time."

"Ah... OK, thank you..."

Hearing what Mei Lei Dian said, Xing Bai Xian's originally excited mood calmed down, and he respectfully thanked Mei Lei Dian. The latter smiled and waved, and then left the room. It was not until the door closed again that Xing Bai Xian breathed a sigh of relief, then sat down again, picked up the plate and began to eat the food in small bites.

During the eating process, Xing Baixian's brain regained its thinking consciousness.

First of all, she should not have died, but was rescued by someone - Xing Baixian found this very unbelievable. She remembered very clearly that at that time, she had been pierced through the body by tentacles and should have been completely dead. How did these people save her?

Also, who are they???

But these questions should be answered soon.

Restraining her somewhat agitated mood, Xing Baixian finished the food brought by the other party, then went to the bathroom to take a shower and change her clothes. When she walked out of the room, she saw Raiden Mei waiting for her outside the door.

"Hold, sorry to have kept you waiting."

"Nothing, let's go."

Under the guidance of Mei Raiden, Bai Xian Xing followed her into the depths of the passage.

Along the way, Xing Baixian was looking around curiously. Judging from the passage in front of her, she felt that she should be on a spaceship similar to Sidonia. However, both the style and construction method here were completely different from Sidonia.

However, when Xing Baixian walked out of the passage under the guidance of Raiden Mei, everything in front of her made her scream.

"This is……!!"

Standing blankly in the hall, Xing Baixian looked up in surprise. This was a circular hall that looked like a small park, with many green plants and clear fountains. But what shocked Xing Baixian the most was the top of her head. She looked up and saw the azure blue sky and the sun. The warm sunlight sprinkled down, making Xing Baixian feel extremely warm and comfortable.

"This is... the sky... the sun... Miss Raiden, are we on a planet now?"

While shouting, Xing Baixian excitedly turned his head to look at Raiden Mei. The latter was stunned for a moment and shook her head quickly.

"Ah, no, this is just a simulated virtual scene."

"Huh? A virtual scene?"

"Well, because traveling in space is too boring, Mr. Yuki designed this area... for everyone to relax..."

When we first went to space, we were definitely excited and thrilled. But after a long time, looking at the sea of ​​stars and the dark universe outside, we can't help but feel a fear of the deep sea. What's more, there is no distinction between day and night in space, and after a long time, people's biological clocks will inevitably be disrupted.

Therefore, Fang Zheng also specially arranged such an environment for everyone. There are many large warships in Tiandao Palace. As long as it does not involve important areas, the ship girl herself does not mind modifying some cabins.

For ship girls, the cabin design is actually equivalent to the clothes they wear. Do you want to wear silk or cotton and linen? Is it hollow or conservative? It is actually a matter of personal preference.

Therefore, Fang Zheng built a greenhouse park with an earth-like environment for the girls. However, they still wanted to have some cute animals, so Fang Zheng patiently threw two hydralisks and springtails in to fill their mouths.

Do you want to go swimming at the beach next?

There's no end to it, right?

Even though it was a virtual scene, it was enough to amaze Xing Baixian.

However, when she came to the bridge under the leadership of Raiden Mei, Hoshiro Kan was completely stunned.

I've never seen such a handsome man!

Looking at the stunned Xing Baixian in front of him, Fang Zheng smiled leisurely. He knew without guessing what the other person was thinking - okay, just a joke.

"Hello, welcome to the Azure Fleet, Miss Xingbaixian, I am Yuuki Masaru, the commander of the Azure Fleet."

"Ah, hello, nice to meet you..."

Xing Baixian, who had come to his senses, also hurriedly saluted.

"I am Xing Baixian, the pilot of Sidonia's seeding ship..."

"Don't be so nervous, Miss Xingbai."

Fang Zheng waved his hand and smiled at Xing Baixian.

"We're just chatting for a moment... If you don't mind, could you please tell us how things are going here?"

Although he was a little confused about Fang Zheng's request, Xing Baixian still told Fang Zheng what he knew. From Xing Baixian, everyone also knew the situation of this world.

The humans in this world originally lived on Earth. But one day, a giant monster called Kijuzi attacked the Earth. Faced with the attack of this powerful monster, humans had no power to fight back. In desperation, they built several warships to escape from the Earth and leave the solar system to find a new home.

But Qi Juzi obviously had no intention of letting them go, so they chased each other for hundreds and thousands of years.

Even before, when humans faced the Qijuzi, they had no effective means to fight against them. It was not until four hundred years ago that the seeding ship Sidonia accidentally discovered a mysterious ancient relic, and found this weapon called "Ying" in it. It can pierce the core of the Qijuzi, decompose it into foam, and thus eliminate the enemy.

It was after this that humans found the means to deal with the Kijuzi, so they began to drive mechas called "Guardians" to fight against the Kijuzi and protect the Sidonia seeding ship.

As for the mission of this seeding ship, it is to find a new planet where humans can survive and escape the threat of the Kijuzu.

Because they have been living in a spaceship with limited resources, the humans on Sidonia have undergone many changes. For example, photosynthesis is a method of gene manipulation invented by a Sidonia scientist. This can avoid the consumption of resources and allow humans to survive under the conditions of minimum resource consumption.

In fact, the humans in this world still don't know what the Qijuzi are and why they attack humans...

In fact, Sidonia had not encountered the Qijuzi for more than a hundred years, but just recently, the Qijuzi appeared again and attacked them, so Xing Baixian had to go to the battlefield and fight with the Qijuzi.

In exchange, Fang Zheng also told Xing Baixian the truth about this world. When Xing Baixian learned that the world they lived in had only one fruit from the Imaginary Number Tree, and that the reason those strange creatures called "Honkai Beasts" eliminated humans was to destroy this world in order to ensure the interests of the Imaginary Number Tree itself, she was completely stunned.

To be honest, Xing Baixian didn't quite understand the information provided by Fang Zheng, but she still tried her best to record it. At least now she knew that those strange creatures were a terrible threat to humans - although in fact they always had been.

"Well, please get ready. We should take you back."

The two sides exchanged intelligence, and after finding that they could not get any useful information from Xing Baixian, Fang Zheng quickly changed the subject. Xing Baixian was just an ordinary driver after all, and she would not know much about the situation inside Sidonia, and she only knew some knowledge from textbooks.

In terms of games, it is the background introduction.

But that's enough.

In fact, after listening to Xing Baixian's introduction, Fang Zheng lost interest in Sidonia. If the other party was fighting against Qi Juzi, he would try to unite and help. But now the other party is just fleeing, and Fang Zheng's goal is to fight directly to the center of Honkai. The two sides have different goals, so naturally there is no possibility of any cooperation.

After comforting Xing Baixian and saying that he would send her back to Sidonia as soon as possible, Fang Zheng gave orders to Rodney.

The next moment, the blue fleet started instantly and disappeared into the vast sea of ​​stars.

And when they appeared again, they were already next to Sidonia's seeding ship.

For Founder, this is not a big deal.

But for Sidonia, this was terrifying.

"What the hell is going on?! Why didn't we notice the presence of these warships?!"

The masked female captain couldn't even hide her inner panic and shouted. When she received the notice, she couldn't even believe her ears. It was not until she came to the window and looked at the golden fleet not far away that she suddenly became nervous.

"We don't know, they appeared suddenly... The radar didn't detect anything..."

"What do we do now, Captain?"

The girl who served as the adjutant raised her head and looked at the masked woman.

"Are we going to attack?"

"Wait a minute..."

Looking at the warships in front of her, the masked female captain was also hesitant.

"Send a message to the other party and ask about their identity and purpose."

Ultimately, she made a very normal decision.

However, at this moment, suddenly, something strange happened.

Through the screen, everyone saw a dazzling beam of light suddenly shot out from a warship in the distance and shot towards them. Then, the entire Sidonia began to tremble. They could even see an orange-yellow light, like some kind of scanning ray, passing through their walls and bodies.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know, they seem to be scanning the entire Sidonia... They have entered Sidonia's main database!!"

"What?!!"

Hearing this, the female captain could no longer sit still. The main database stores thousands of years of records and intelligence about Sidonia! What do these guys want to do? !

"Block the database immediately!"

"No, the system has been completely taken over and we can't control it!"

"What?!!!"

While Sidonia was in chaos, Fang Zheng sat leisurely in a chair, looking at the scanned and copied data of Sidonia in front of him.

"I say, is this really okay?"

Tesla looked at Fang Zheng speechlessly.

"Directly invading the other party's network, controlling the other party's operating system, and copying the other party's database is an illegal act."

"What kind of law is this?"

Fang Zheng yawned.

"This is the universe, Ms. Tesla. Here, firepower is justice and range is truth. We need to find a way to make them understand the gap in status and strength between us. Nothing could be more convenient than this."

"But, I saw you were very friendly to Miss Xing Baixian before???"

Kiana blinked in confusion.

"When it comes to individuals, we can get along in a friendly manner, but if the other party is an organization or a force, it's another matter."

Fang Zheng shook his head.

"From what Miss Xing Baixian said, we can see that this ship lacks resources and is extremely insecure. If we approach them through diplomacy, they might do something to us. For a group that has traveled a long distance in space and has few resources, it would be a dream to expect them to abide by the moral principles of the norm... Well, it's really interesting."

Looking at the information in front of him, Fang Zheng's lips curled up slightly.

"Okay, now that we have collected the information, it's time to return Miss Xing Baixian. It just so happens that we have given her a lot of information, so let's consider it as an exchange."
