Upon seeing the messages relayed by others, Song Qi's expression turned visibly grim.
The mission had been completed perfectly, but then this unexpected incident occurred at the last minute. Only two small teams were captured, which must have been because they ran into Sirius and his group.
Putting aside the "bump" incident, the most important thing now is to bring them back.
Song Qi's mind raced as he looked at the map.
Sirius contacted them and asked to make a deal.
"Shall we go?"
“How can we not go?” Song Qi glanced at the person who asked the question, tapped the table, and issued a series of tasks.
She not only wanted to bring the people back, but also wanted to keep the people of Tianlang here.
Song Qi personally led his men there.
Qiao Yu and the others had already been pulled out of the mechs and were being held by the mechs. Although they didn't appear to be physically injured, they were in very poor spirits.
“General Song…” the leader called out, then paused, “Oh, sorry, I forgot you’re already a marshal. A marshal under thirty years old, you must be the only one in the alliance.”
"What kind of deal do you want?" Song Qi interrupted him, not intending to exchange any more pleasantries.
"I'm not greedy, just one hundred tons of rare solidified gold ore."
Song Qi narrowed his eyes; those were important raw materials for making top-tier mechs.
"Are you still asleep?" Song Qi frowned slightly. There was absolutely no way they would be given such a thing.
As she spoke, she sent a message to Ye Sui and glanced at Qiao Yu.
[A1: Try out what the system taught you before.]
[A3: Received.]
"So, Marshal Song is planning to abandon them? How pitiful, in his early twenties, life has just begun, and he's about to die."
"Do you think those people in the alliance would let you off the hook if they knew you'd stood by and watched someone die?"
Song Qi laughed: "There are plenty of people in the entire alliance who want me dead. I have a clear conscience, that's enough. You actually dare to mention a hundred tons of rare metals?"
"So, you really don't care about these people's lives?"
[A1: Hurry up.]
【A3: [Sharing Information]】
Song Qi looked at the red dots on the screen and relayed the message to everyone.
"Of course I want them, theirs and yours, I want them all." After saying that, Song Qi fired a shot into the arm of the man holding Qiao Yu, then darted past Qiao Yu. Qiao Yu was startled and shuddered. He was hit twice more in the forehead and also shuddered.
A rope was thrown out of the mecha, grabbed Qiao Yu's waist, and pulled her back.
The others also used their own methods to capture the person.
Ye Sui's current state is very special, and Song Qi doesn't know how to describe it.
When System NZ sent Ye Sui back, it opened a back door and taught Ye Sui how to use its special form to travel through the machine. In other words, if Ye Sui was not satisfied with his current body, he could switch to another body.
It could be humanoid or something else. Ye Sui used his fastest speed to interfere with the mecha holding the person. He didn't need to interfere much; as long as he slowed down the mecha for a moment, they could rescue the person.
Ye Sui is now a walking piece of cutting-edge technology.
This method is very risky. Just like when Song Qi fired at that arm, if it had been even slightly off-target, the bullet would have hit Qiao Yu.
Song Qi dragged Qiao Yu into the mecha. The interior of the mecha wasn't spacious, but it wasn't too difficult to fit one person inside.
Qiao Yu remained silent, staring at the densely packed keyboard in front of Song Qi.
Song Qi primarily uses mecha sensors, with manual control as a supplement. He only resorts to manual control when his body is unable to perform the specified movements.
"You need to stabilize yourself."
"Hmm." Qiao Yu looked around curiously. He had been a little scared just now, but after getting to Song Qi's side and entering the mecha, he only had one thought in his mind: "I really want to take this mecha apart."
However, the next second, Qiao Yu also started moving without thinking.
The world spun around them, even more thrilling than a giant swing ride at an amusement park. The anti-vertigo training at school was nothing compared to this. They intensified their anti-vertigo training here, and some even complained. But now it seems... it really worked.
"Do you want to throw up?" Song Qi asked.
"I'm okay, just a little dizzy. Don't worry about me, I won't throw up."
"It's alright, it'll be over soon," Song Qi comforted him gently. The next second, Qiao Yu heard Song Qi's voice suddenly change, becoming somewhat cold and hard, "Let's finish this quickly."
"yes."
Qiao Yu: ...
The students, their stomachs churning inside their various combat mechs: ...
Although it was supposed to be a quick battle, it still lasted for five hours. Song Qi simply used Ye Sui's ability to capture all the lewd beastmen hiding in the surrounding area. This time, she mobilized one-third of the base's people. It would be a waste of resources not to take more people with her.
Back at the base, all the students vomited as soon as they came out of their mechs. Of course, quite a few students couldn't help but vomit while they were still in the mechs. This caused a group of men to take off their clothes after getting out of their mechs and then take their beloved mechs to take a shower.
Qiao Yu endured it from beginning to end, only vomiting when she reached the toilet. Even after vomiting, she didn't forget to tell Song Qi not to go in and to stand far away.
Song Qi felt somewhat helpless.
"I don't mind what you look like. I've seen all kinds of people before."
"Get out!" Although Qiao Yu didn't have much strength, he could still roar.
Song Qi smiled and said, "I'll go get you some medicine and bring it to you later."
"No need, I'm fine." Qiao Yu pushed open the door, his face pale, and looked at Song Qi. "You should go back now."
Song Qi looked at Qiao Yu and reached out to hug her.
After the students who were taken away returned, they told the other students about their harrowing experience. In the last few days, everyone trained even harder. Of course, some people started to have second thoughts, but there weren't many of them.
The Sirius organization that was captured this time has more than two thousand members. I don't know what they want to do. There are so many of them here. In the past, I've only encountered a little over a hundred of them at most.
However, after asking around for a long time, they couldn't get any information. In the end, they could only dismantle the entire mecha to find some clues.
The internal strife at Sirius resulted in the emergence of over two thousand people who wanted to settle down and no longer wanted to travel all over the universe. As a result, they were captured by Song Qi.
After learning what had happened, Song Qi almost laughed.
The two-month training has ended, and although Song Qi came with the students, he cannot go back with them.
The day before he left, Song Qi made an exception and gave the students a day off to relax, mainly so that he could get a little closer to Qiao Yu.
To avoid being seen, Song Qi took Qiao Yu directly to his room.
"What if someone comes looking for me?"
"It's okay, I didn't ask you to stay overnight." Song Qi held Qiao Yu in her arms, standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window. The projection of the universe on the window was very beautiful, and you could also see the buildings in the distance through the window.
The two of them just stood there, neither of them speaking, but they didn't feel bored.
Song Qi felt that as long as Qiao Yu was by her side, life would be fulfilling.
"I estimate I'll go back the month after next, which will coincide with your summer vacation."
Qiao Yu glanced at Song Qi: "It's okay, we'll graduate soon."
"It's still early." Song Qi sighed softly, suddenly missing the system's fast-forward feature.
Qiao Yu kissed Song Qi's cheek: "After I graduate, can I borrow the mecha to study? Don't worry, I won't dismantle it."
"Looks like you really want to demolish it?"
Qiao Yu glanced at him and coughed twice: "Isn't this normal? People who research mecha all want to dismantle top-tier mechas like yours."
"Actually, it's okay if you take it apart, you can put it back together anyway."
"No, what if we break it?" Qiao Yu glanced at Song Qi again. "Aren't these mechs like your own children?"
Song Qi squeezed Qiao Yu's shoulder: "The mecha is important, and you are important too. I lent it to you and let you disassemble it because I trust you. You won't ruin it for me."
Qiao Yu glanced at Song Qi and snuggled into her arms.
Song Qi had prepared the food in advance, and the two of them enjoyed a cozy candlelight dinner.
The next day, all the students were leaving. Song Qi didn't see them off. She got easily agitated when she saw Qiao Yu, and when she got agitated, she wanted to grab him and take him back.
For the next month, the surrounding space pirates suffered inhumane attacks, and Song Qi was on the trending topics for a whole month. Later, without Song Qi saying anything, everyone ran away.
“I always thought you’d be more careful after you got a partner, but who knew you’d be even more reckless.” Ye Sui stood to the side, looking at Song Qi, who had just had his wound treated.
Although Song Qi's face was pale, his glasses were frighteningly bright.
“You don’t understand.” Song Qi gave Ye Sui a look. “Before, no one was waiting for me, so I could take my time. Now there are people over there.”
Ye Sui twitched the corner of his mouth.
"Sigh, you would never understand this feeling. I should have asked the system to arrange a partner for you back then."
"No need, thank you." Ye Sui glared at Song Qi. "Have you spoken to Qiao Yu on the phone recently?"
“I called her, but I didn’t dare to video call her. She’s timid, and I was afraid of scaring her.” Song Qi’s expression softened when she mentioned Qiao Yu.
"You've really gotten hooked."
"When we get married, you'll be our best man."
"Oh." Ye Sui nodded. "How many more do you want?"
"Of course we need a groomsmen group, let's choose an auspicious number. As for the chief bridesmaid, let's have Lin Jia, but we still need to ask Qiao Yu's opinion."
"A real ring would definitely be more unique, but I haven't had any inspiration lately, and I don't feel comfortable asking a designer."
Ye Sui narrowed his eyes as Song Qi's words drifted further and further away.
"Where do you think would be a good place to hold the wedding? I originally wanted to hold it on Bright Moon Island on Sicily Star, but isn't that too cliché? Someone already had a wedding there." Song Qi frowned slightly. "It's not very meaningful unless it's unique."
"Excuse me."
"Hmm?" Song Qi looked at Ye Sui.
"Qiao Yu agreed to your marriage, but have her parents agreed to it?" Ye Sui looked at Song Qi. "I inquired about it for you before. Although Professor Qiao seems easy to talk to, he is actually extremely stubborn. If he doesn't agree to something, he would rather die than agree."
"They probably won't object..." Song Qi's voice lacked confidence.
