so...
Strictly speaking...
This was the second time Xingmei had seen Nanuk.
...
"We...we were just stared at by the Star God?"
March 7th broke the silence, glanced around at everyone, and finally focused his gaze on Dan Heng, asking a question with some caution.
"That should be... the case."
Dan Heng nodded in response, his calm eyes looking at Zhou Xiao, with some guesses in his mind.
Could it be that Zhou Xiao cut off the star core...that attracted the God of Destruction?
Danheng felt that some of the explanations didn't quite make sense.
After all, Nanuk scattered the star cores throughout the universe at will, so having one more or one less wouldn't be a big deal to the star god.
Although he didn't understand why Nanook had his eye on them, he knew... it wasn't the right time to linger.
After all, the star core next to it is like a bomb that could explode at any moment.
“March... Xing, Zhou Xiao, take them and evacuate first. Mr. Walter will come to check the status of the star core…” Dan Heng said.
"ah?"
"oh."
March 7th nodded to Star Girl, and then led Bronya and the others toward the upper district of Beloborg.
Bronya seemed preoccupied throughout the journey.
"Are you still thinking about how to tell the people?" Seele asked Bronya.
“Yes…” Bronya nodded, paused, and continued:
"The enormous noise from that creation engine must have attracted quite a crowd... plus the large number of Silvermane Iron Guards Mother sent out to hunt you down earlier..."
"I don't know how to get them to accept everything..."
indeed.
How can we get the public to accept this truth?
Their beloved and deeply respected High Guardian, Cocolia, made a deal with the mastermind behind the Beloberg cold wave in order to protect Beloberg... Driven by madness and obsession, she intends to destroy this world and then rebuild a new one from its ruins...
In the end, were they killed by a combined attack from extraterrestrial visitors?
No.
This is too cruel.
If the people of Belloborg were to learn that the Great Guardian, whom they have always believed to be the right leader, were actually planning to destroy Belloborg... it would undoubtedly shatter their hopes...
"How about... we make up a lie?" Xingmei suggested upon hearing this.
"A lie?" Bronya pursed her lips upon hearing this.
"Using one lie to cover up another will only lead to an even bigger lie..."
"Do you have any other ideas?" Seele asked.
"Hmm..." Bronya remained silent, a thoughtful look appearing in her beautiful eyes.
"The Great Guardian Cocolia... after learning the truth about the Star Core, fought a fierce battle with it, ultimately sacrificing herself to protect Beloberg..."
"As for the previous capture of the extraterrestrial visitors, that was just a show staged for the Star Core..."
Bronya was spouting nonsense with a straight face, trying her best to make the story complete, but it was still full of loopholes and logical inconsistencies.
After listening, Zhou Xiao paused for two seconds and then said:
"You know how to tell a story."
Bronya: T^T
"For now... this is the only way."
She sighed, then addressed the crowd, "I hope everyone can keep this a secret for Belloberg's sake..."
...
After a brief interlude, the two groups from the upper and lower sections split up and notified their respective areas of the victory and the re-establishment of communication between the upper and lower levels.
Zhou Xiao and his group waited quietly for Walter to arrive in Belberg.
"Uncle Yang!"
Upon seeing Walter arrive, March 7th waved excitedly.
“Hmm…” Walter pushed up his glasses and nodded, indicating that Danheng would lead him to the location of the star core.
Along the way, Jarvis, who was following behind Zhou Xiao, and Kun Kunzi, who was scouting in the distance, attracted Walter's attention.
"This...you did this?"
Upon hearing Walter's question, Zhou Xiao nodded calmly: "Just messing around..."
"Uncle Yang, you have no idea how amazing Zhou Xiao is. He fixed one robot in no time, and then modified it into a new one in just a few seconds..."
On March 7th, she couldn't help but tell Walter about Zhou Xiao's work as a "cyber doctor" in the mechanical settlement. Although she hadn't done these things herself, Zhou Xiao had, so she was very happy to tell him.
Listening to March 7's vivid and animated description, Walter couldn't help but take another look at Zhou Xiao.
In the future, I can do some "manly romance" with Zhou Xiao on the train.
...
On March 7th, amidst all the chatter, Walter arrived at Everwinter Ridge and saw the star core with a knife hilt stuck in it from afar.
"You...don't move from here, I'll be right back."
Walter gave Danheng and the others some instructions like an old father, then bent down slightly, took out a pair of gloves to put on, and walked towards the location of the star core.
Um...
When he arrived at the location of the star core and saw the hilt of the knife stuck in the star core and the rusty, broken blade that went straight into the star core, he was slightly taken aback.
"Danheng... are you sure it was this longsword that cut open the star core?" he asked Danheng, who was not far away, through the communication.
“Yes…” Dan Heng replied, “Zhou Xiao used that knife to pierce the star core and create a notch…”
this...
Walter turned around and glanced at Zhou Xiao again upon hearing the sound.
This damn knife can even cut a gash in a star core. If it were a better knife, it would be unbelievable.
Of course.
The strength of the wielder is the most important factor, but... being able to cut a gash in a star core with this broken knife is no less than the feeling of Lin Daiyu uprooting a willow tree.
That's ridiculously absurd.
Walter snapped out of his thoughts and immediately began to check the state of the star core.
Um.
Don't say it.
It's quite stable.
Although the outer hard layer was damaged, the hilt of the knife blocked most of the gap, barely preventing the energy of the star core from exploding.
"This weapon probably won't last much longer... We still need to find a similar structural framework to seal it and ensure the stability of the star's core..."
This broken sword cannot withstand the energy washout from the star core and will eventually crumble into dust.
Walter calmly analyzed the situation and decided to leave the core's current structure unchanged for the time being. It's like running code; even if writing code was a nightmare before, as long as it runs, nothing should be modified...
Seeing Walter return, March 7th hurriedly went up to him and asked:
"Uncle Yang, how is the situation?"
“For now… it’s not a big problem.” Walter took off his special gloves and then said, “I’m going back to the train to prepare for sealing the star core.”
...
P.S.: I'm begging for everything, please begging for everything, sob sob sob.
