A middle-aged woman crawled over, picked up one of the two high school girls, hugged her upper body, and sobbed, "Wenwen, Mommy won't force you to go to cram school anymore... Go back and live a good life with your grandparents, and your grandparents. Mommy won't be with you anymore..."
As she spoke, she raised a knife that she had taken from the dead pirates on the ground and was about to stab it into her chest!
Xia Chu saw that Shao Siming's black and silver mecha was as fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, it arrived next to the middle-aged woman and snatched the knife from her hand.
But after the middle-aged woman attempted suicide, the older survivors all followed suit, rubbing the ground, trying to find a knife.
Just now they just grabbed the chair legs and hit the pirates, and didn't even think of looking for a knife.
Xia Chujian couldn't bear to watch and said sternly, "Stop! If you dare to commit suicide again, I will grant your wish and hand you over to the space pirates!"
Her words shocked all the survivors.
It is really easy to die, but if you hand it over to the pirates, you will be tortured to the point of being worse than death before you die!
Those pirates had already scared them to death.
So after Xia Chujian said this, they didn't dare to move.
Xia Chujian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and still spoke in a very gentle electronic synthesized simulated voice: "What are you doing? I finally saved you, and you want to die in front of me? Do you think you are worthy of the risk to my life?!"
"It's not your fault that those pirates abused you! You can't just obey their wishes and die for them!"
Xia Chujian thought that these victims wanted to commit suicide because they were abused by the space pirates.
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged woman beside her, whose knife she had taken away, said miserably: "Second Lieutenant, we are really grateful for saving us. I didn't want to die because of those beasts."
"I hope you can take my daughter back, but I really can't survive. Please let me die quickly!"
Xia Chujian took a look at her injuries and thought that this woman didn't want to live because her injuries were too serious.
He secretly asked Qilu in the helmet: "Qilu, do you have medical functions?"
Qilu said in a baby voice: "No, but Qilu can check their physical condition. From what I can see, their injuries are not incurable and can be cured in the medical cabin."
Xia Chujian was overjoyed and quickly said to the middle-aged woman in an electronic synthesized voice, "Don't worry, your injuries are not serious and can be cured in the medical cabin."
The middle-aged woman looked up at the tall female mecha warrior and said nothing more.
Another woman who looked to be in her thirties, but covered in blood, remained calm and elegant. She slowly stood up by holding the table leg.
She was wearing only a torn shirt, but she didn't hide or shrink back.
She looked up at the three-meter-tall female mecha warrior and said with a smile, "I think I can speak for us older adults."
Xia Chujian half-knelt on one leg to appear less tall.
But when she knelt on one leg, she was still about two meters and fifty centimeters tall.
Seeing the mecha warrior's thoughtfulness, the woman's throat seemed to be choked by something. After a while, she said, "Madam Lieutenant, you have seen our situation. Our injuries are not fatal. If we have an advanced medical cabin, we can cure them."
"...But, do you know how long it would take to treat injuries of our severity, even with the best medical cabin?"
Xia Chujian: “…”
She didn't know, but she could ask Qi Lu.
Qi Lu's childish voice whispered to her, "...According to Qi Lu's assessment, even with the best medical cabin, it will take two years for their injuries to heal."
Xia Chujian's heart moved, and she immediately understood what the woman was going to say.
Sure enough, the woman said, "We all come from Guiyuan Star. Do you know Guiyuan Star? It's the most remote planet in the empire. Our salaries are not high, and our family conditions are only average."
Xia Chujian thought, of course, if you are not at least a middle-class family, you can't afford a ticket on the interstellar spacecraft...
The woman lowered her head and continued, "I'm a gynecologist at a private hospital in Guiyuan Star. I know the extent of my injury and how to treat it in order to heal."
She raised her head, looked at Xia Chujian, and said word by word: "This requires the best medical cabin and two years of treatment to recover."
"But do you know how much the best medical cabin costs for two years of treatment?"
As she spoke, she glanced into the hall.
In this dark red hall, apart from the dead pirates lying all over the place and the victims who had already died, there were only these survivors who were still breathing.
The women who were still alive, especially the older ones, all nodded.
They all understood what the woman said.
The woman closed her eyes and continued, "...at least two hundred thousand Beichen coins will be needed."
"Madam Lieutenant, do you know what 200,000 Beichen coins mean to us families in Mulan City on Guiyuan Star?"
Of course Xia Chujian knew, she knew it better than anyone else, which made her feel even more uncomfortable.
Why?
It’s not their fault!
Xia Chujian tightly gripped the gun in his hand and said calmly in an electronic simulated voice, "You were kidnapped on an interstellar spaceship. If I remember correctly, the interstellar spaceship tickets you bought were insured, especially accident insurance."
"Won't insurance pay for such a major accident?"
The woman nodded and said gently, "Yes, of course. But only in the event of death will they compensate our family with 100,000 Beichen coins for each ticket. If we return alive, they will only compensate the price of one ticket, which is 2,000 Beichen coins."
