When her grandfather mentioned mixed-race people, the two exchanged a knowing glance. Looking at her grandfather's aged face and his deep, unfathomable eyes that seemed to hold the boundless starry sky, Jian Yunhe could only utter, "I don't know either..."
But she knew in her heart that being mixed-race was a big deal, something her grandfather didn't want to talk about.
"Yes, such profound matters, how could we possibly know? We don't understand other people's affairs." (Reading)
A relieved smile appeared on her grandfather's face. Jian Yunhe returned a somewhat awkward, bitter smile. This was the tacit understanding between her and her grandfather, something she had learned by growing up by his side after her parents passed away.
"I don't know anything about this either. Besides being able to do accounting, I don't have any other skills."
My grandfather often said this to others with a smile.
“Lianlian, many people were present when your father passed away, but they all said they couldn’t understand why he died. We, his grandfather and granddaughter, understand even less.”
For some reason, Jian Yunhe's thoughts drifted back to a long time ago, to when her grandfather had just come home and picked her up after waking up from a nightmare. He said those words to her while she was half-asleep and crying.
That day, she hid in the cabinet in her father's laboratory, and what happened afterward... "Lianlian, you don't know what exactly happened, right?"
"I don't know..."
While lost in thought, Jian Yunsheng's unconscious sigh was just as she was called to the command position, and her companion assisting the commander-in-chief looked puzzled.
"What don't you know?"
"Oh, it's nothing."
Jian Yunsheng snapped out of her daze and looked at her companions. She then saw that several senior colleagues or comrades who were also in command had stood up from their positions. So she also got up, nodded to the classmate next to her who was looking at her curiously, and quickly followed.
Sometimes, it seems that pretending to be stupid won't help, just like now.
...
Qilan Star Ground Command Center.
"Have all the aliens retreated to the deepest defensive fortifications?"
"They've all retreated, and the planetary inhabitants in the Southern Hemisphere have been quickly evacuated." Sun Yunzhong helped his senior summarize all the information, and finally asked cautiously, "Should we...should we shut down all the air defense systems?"
When Sun Yunzhong asked this question, his breathing became lighter.
Looking at the insectoid swarm outside that almost blotted out the sky, he couldn't even imagine what would happen if they were suddenly released.
However, all current actions seem to indicate that air defenses are about to be withdrawn.
"Air defense capabilities can only last for two interplanetary hours at most. Given the current damage in the Southern Hemisphere, the Southern Hemisphere has lost more energy and cannot be repaired. Shrinking the air defense will at least allow us to hold out until support is available."
Speaking of support, Sun Yunzhong turned to look at the support signals on the panel. The support for the Third Army Corps was already on its way, and the Fifth Army Corps seemed to be stuck.
The border between the Fourth and Sixth Corps.
"What are you doing?!"
Wang Wenfei rushed to the Canglan Starfield with the support troops, but she didn't expect that the first thing to stop them was not the Zerg, but "their own people".
"Please provide your name, legion affiliation, mission details, and mission order. Once verified, star system access will be granted."
Hearing the arrival of several air defense drones from the Fourth Army Corps, the people supporting the Sixth Army Corps wished they could just blow them up with a single shot.
Hearing the cold, electronic voice coming from the drone, Wang Wenfei saw their commander-in-chief's face darken.
However, he then smiled and said, "We are the Fifth Legion. We purchased a batch of energy crystals from the S-875 mining planet in the Canglan Star Region. Due to the current war situation, we have to send troops to escort these energy crystals back to the Legion."
As he spoke, he sent them an electronic copy of their purchase contract.
Fortunately, they were prepared.
Soon enough, an electronic voice granted them permission to leave the star system.
However, when the Fourth Army Corps learned that the Fifth Army Corps had left for this reason, they felt both frustrated and happy.
The good news is that the Canglan Starfield is saved.
What's frustrating is that they can't go and save people; in fact, their role is like that of a despicable clown in a play.
"Damn it, if we hadn't gone easy on you, I wouldn't have let you through for a million reasons!" In the Fourth Army Corps Commander's office, a middle-aged man glanced at the clearance certificate on his personal terminal and couldn't help but sigh and mutter, "I'm not doing this out of favoritism..."
...
Holy crap!
The scene where Lu Xiaoyao, piloting a mecha, dragged a bunch of wrecked mecha cockpits back, and the defenses in the sky behind them instantly disappeared was truly breathtaking!
Are they crazy?!
[Withdrawing air defenses? Is this an attempt to destroy Qilan Star?]
[Qilan Star isn't that fragile; its foundation seems to be made of a special element that the Zerg generally dislike.]
[Don't you like attacking Qilan Star? Like, a fight to the death?]
Oops, we've gone off-topic, haven't we?
Look! Look over there in front of the baby!
The viewers in the live stream had sharp eyes and noticed that a light screen had appeared in the direction where Lu Xiaoyao's mech flew back at some point. It looked like a miniature version of an air defense system!
They're really just tightening their defenses.
The reduced size makes the defense stronger, but it also suggests a shortage of energy, right?
Some sensible netizens have already realized that things are becoming increasingly out of control.
