Xia Chujian hurriedly put away the virtual display screen, went to the bathroom inside to wash his face, and then came out to the captain's room.
She sat behind the large desk in the captain's room, looking at several virtual display screens hanging in front of her.
Huo Yushen was actually connected to the communication equipment on the star cruiser, and not to her smart bracelet.
No wonder Qilu could take the initiative to not call her.
If it was a smart bracelet, she would definitely wake up as soon as it vibrated, so it wouldn't matter if Qi Lu didn't call her.
Xia Chujian anxiously contacted the number that Huo Yushen had called her through the communication equipment of the Star Cruiser.
Huo Yushen didn't let her wait long.
Three seconds later, Huo Yushen accepted her video call request and appeared on her virtual display screen.
His background is virtual and it is impossible to tell where he is.
But his profile picture was in high definition, he was wearing a Special Security Bureau uniform, and his expression was as cold as ever.
However, Xia Chujian managed to detect something unusual in Huo Yushen's normally stern expression.
She blurted out: "Huo Shuai, are you worried? Is there something that even you can't solve?"
This is not like the omnipotent Huo Yushen in her mind...
Huo Yushen raised his eyes and glanced at her. His tone was not as cold as his expression, and was even a little gentle.
He said, "Something's happened. I'll be out for a while, so I won't be able to contact you for now. If you have any questions, please contact Colonel Kang Shanxing."
Xia Chujian quickly sat up straight and said, "Huo Shuai, go do what you need! Is there anything I can help you with? I still owe you three favors!"
It's really uncomfortable to owe a debt of favor, Xia Chujian wants to repay it as soon as possible.
Huo Yushen curled the corners of his lips. He was already used to Xia Chujian's speaking style and said lightly, "It's okay. Is everything okay over there? It looks like you've returned with a full load. Did you find the fighter planes and airships that lost contact at the base so quickly?"
Xia Chujian then got back to the point and said, "Huo Shuai, you really asked the right question! How could I be okay?! I was so worried that I couldn't wake up and slept for eleven hours! Otherwise, I would have accepted your video call invitation half an hour ago!"
The corners of Huo Yushen's lips twitched uncontrollably.
Others are so worried that they can't sleep, but she can't wake up because of worry...
He is really unique in his way of dealing with people.
Huo Yushen complained inwardly, his expression unchanged as he said bluntly, "What happened?"
Xia Chujian calmed down and said, "Are you sure you want to use the cruiser's channel to talk?"
She was secretly asking Huo Yushen whether their conversation would be monitored by a third party.
Huo Yushen understood what she meant and said, "Sure, there's no problem here."
The star cruisers in the Imperial Star Fleet are all needed for warfare, and the communication equipment inside them has various levels of confidentiality.
What Huo Yushen is activating now is the communication channel with the highest security level on this star cruiser, which is physically isolated. Under certain circumstances, it is safer than quantum entanglement encryption.
Xia Chujian felt relieved and quickly talked about what happened this time.
She got straight to the point: "Huo Shuai, you don't know that the ones besieging our flight base's fighter jets and airships this time are actually the Bodhi Leaf space pirate organization!"
"A total of eighteen Star Cruiser-class starships have surrounded the fighter planes and airships at the flight base!"
"It looks horrible!"
Huo Yushen remained calm and asked quickly, "How did you find out?"
"I'm going to investigate!" Xia Chujian blurted out.
Huo Yushen's face darkened. "You went to investigate? You mean, you left the Star Cruiser alone, went on a spacewalk, and went to Bodhi Leaf to investigate?"
Xia Chujian's eyes flashed, and she thought, why are you so sharp?
Just by listening to her words, I could guess her movements...
This guy's brain is comparable to Qilu's!
But she has no choice but to admit it!
This is what she had said to those Space Marines. It was impossible to hide it, so she chose to tell the truth.
But I didn't expect Huo Yushen to seem quite angry.
She tried to get away with it: "That's not the point. The point is that I found..."
Huo Yushen interrupted her: "Xia Chujian, this is not the point. What is the point? - Do you know what you are doing?"
"The magnetic field in the asteroid belt is extremely unstable. Even if you're wearing... a mecha, it could be affected by the magnetic field and cause the mecha to lose contact."
"If you continue to do this, no one will send you on a solo mission again."
Xia Chujian curled his lips and said, "I am the captain, my actions are my decision, how can you call it a death wish?"
Huo Yushen said calmly, "Are you really a qualified captain? As a captain, you can't leave your starship alone."
"Even if we are under attack and the entire ship is evacuating, the captain must be the last to leave. Never abandon your own people and run away alone!"
Xia Chujian: “…”
"...I'm not running away. I'm going to scout the enemy. And Huo Shuai also knows that my mecha is more suitable for reconnaissance, so I went." Xia Chujian was no longer so arrogant and said sullenly.
She lowered her head and continued, "Besides, this starship was assigned to me temporarily, and I don't have my own team. What else can I do if I don't do this?"
Seeing that she had taken it in, Huo Yushen didn't continue to lecture her. He nodded slightly and said, "You do have a point, but remember from now on, you are the captain. Never abandon your fleet or leave your starship at any time."
