Xia Chujian: “…”
It’s too late, too late…
She glanced at the female soldier and said, "Those female Marines are ten miles from here. Do you... have any means of transportation?"
The female soldier nodded and said, "I have a small combat aircraft over there. Tell me the location and I'll come find you."
Xia Chujian had the coordinates and location, which Qilu told her.
But she didn't know how to tell the woman in front of her the location of the deep pit, so she said, "Then I'll fly ahead and you can just follow me."
The speed of the small combat aircraft is actually not as fast as the speed of her mecha at full acceleration.
But if you use the speed of a regular mecha, it's still possible.
The woman nodded: "I'll follow right away."
Her speed is indeed not slow.
Not long after Xia Chujian returned to the deep pit, a black combat aircraft flew over silently.
The aircraft stopped in mid-air.
The hatch opened and the woman jumped out directly from the hatch.
As a B-level genetic evolver, this height is a piece of cake for her.
She came to Xia Chujian and looked at the deep pit she was facing.
"Sister Zhang! Xiaohui!" The woman let out a wail and jumped down.
Xia Chujian jumped down as well.
At the bottom of the deep pit, the female Marines still looked the same as before.
It seemed that death stopped the further deterioration of their genetic chains.
Their appearance is preserved at the moment of death.
The woman couldn't stop crying.
Xia Chujian sighed and said, "They were very brave and did not surrender. They committed suicide by using the mutant jellyfish's toxin after they ran out of ammunition and food."
The woman's whole body was trembling.
She covered her face and knelt in front of the dead female Marines in the pit, too sad to speak.
Xia Chujian continued, "I plan to take them home."
The woman wiped away her tears, stood up and said, "Let me do it. I'll take them home."
As she spoke, she took out a small flame stick and shook it.
A cluster of bluish-white flames appeared at the top of the flame stick.
Xia Chujian held her arm in surprise and asked, "What are you doing?"
The woman was also surprised and said, "Of course they are cremated. Otherwise, how can we bring them home?"
Xia Chujian said, "No need. I have body bags over there. I'll have someone send over 2,000 of them."
The woman understood: "You have an interstellar airship?"
At least we need an interstellar airship to bring all these bodies back.
Xia Chujian said: "I am here to carry out a special military mission, of course we have an airship."
The woman hurriedly said, "Can you take me back with you? I stayed behind without permission to look for my companions. I only have a small combat aircraft."
This type of aircraft cannot take her across the vast space and fly to the vicinity of the wormhole.
Xia Chujian said, "No problem. But what's your name? What's your position in the First Starfleet?"
The woman said gratefully, "My name is Qiu Zijun, and I'm a second lieutenant pilot in the First Interstellar Fleet. I fly the Ghost-class space fighter."
Xia Chujian nodded and said, "Then you are not bad. As a genetic evolver, you are willing to stay for those ordinary space marines."
Qiu Zijun smiled bitterly and said, "It's a pity that the arm can't twist the thigh, so let's not talk about it."
Xia Chujian looked at her and said, "...Do you know that they are abandoned children?"
Qiu Zijun's face looked a little unhappy, and he whispered, "I don't know what happened, but no matter what they meant, I opposed it, so I stayed to look for them."
Xia Chujian was curious: "You really searched for four weeks? Where were you before?"
Qiu Zijun continued to smile bitterly: "I have always been in the Southern Hemisphere. Our mission has also been in the Southern Hemisphere. I don't know how they were brought to the Northern Hemisphere."
Xia Chujian thought, it’s a pity that all these male and female Marines are dead, otherwise we would have known more news.
As for the Shang people, there were more than 100,000 of them, but she only killed more than 1,700 of them.
There are still many dead people who can be questioned by her.
She is not in a hurry.
Xia Chujian lowered his head and silently sent a message to Mao Yonggui, who was guarding the interstellar airship.
Have her prepare two thousand body bags and drive the interstellar airship here.
Mao Yonggui was shocked when he received the news. He hurriedly asked people to prepare two thousand compressed body bags, while inputting new coordinate information into the mechanical intelligence of the starship airship.
The airship automatically took off, started the power, and soon stopped near the deep pit where Xia Chujian was.
Mao Yonggui personally brought down hundreds of space marines wearing mechas.
They saluted Xia Chujian together.
Xia Chujian said, "Have you brought the body bags? Put these people into the body bags one by one and put them in the cold storage room of the airship."
This is also the standard configuration of interstellar airships.
It has a huge cold storage room in the bottom cabin that is specifically used for this purpose.
Mao Yonggui and the Space Marines were shocked when they first saw this scene.
But Xia Chujian didn't say anything, and they didn't ask either. They just silently followed orders and worked.
Soon, the bodies of the female Marines in the deep pit were put into body bags and sent to the cold storage room of the interstellar airship.
Then Xia Chujian took them to the tribe's location twenty miles away.
Xia Chujian said, "There are more than a thousand male Marines here. Send them to the cold storage room as well."
"We'll stop here and use this as a temporary base."
After she gave the order, she took Mao Yonggui and Qiu Zijun with her to search the tribe for the identity plates of the fallen soldiers.
But when they finally found them, the identity plates had all melted into a ball in a thatched hut that had been burned to ashes.
