When Ye Xingfan saw the photo, he jumped up from his chair in shock.
This...this is clearly Yunku. How could she be with Qi Xiuyuan? How could she be a companion robot?
He was quite certain that Yunku couldn't be a robot. Putting aside the fact that robots aren't that realistic, the most important thing is that robots can't lie to humans.
If she really was a robot, how could she lie to him and say she was a pharmacist, and how could she have truly healed him, both physically and mentally?
Could she really be a woman? Actually, upon closer examination, Yun Ku's statement did have quite a few flaws. Thinking of this, Ye Xingfan's suppressed feelings of infatuation rekindled and became irresistible.
Lu Manman knew she couldn't hide it for long, but she didn't expect her identity to be exposed so quickly. She simply read her message and stopped replying. She was in a state of confusion and just wanted some peace and quiet.
Suddenly, Lu Manman leaned forward violently and then bounced back heavily into her seat, throwing many people off their seats.
The starship lurched violently, followed by an urgent alarm.
The passengers on the starship hurriedly returned to their seats in terror.
"What happened? What just occurred?"
"Oh no, my head! What's going on? Flight attendant, please come out and explain!"
"This alarm is making me panic. This is my first time on a starship. I hope nothing bad happens."
"..."
Immediately, complaints filled the starship, and a terrifying atmosphere permeated everyone.
If an accident occurs on a starship and the enemy encounters space pirates or insectoids, the survival rate is almost zero.
Soon, the starship crew's voice, though trying to sound calm, rang out. "Passengers, our starship has just been attacked by the Zerg. As a precaution, please follow the instructions of our staff and proceed to the safe house in an orderly manner. Please do not panic. We have already reported the incident to the military, and they will be here to rescue us soon. Just follow our instructions and wait patiently..."
Upon hearing the name "Zerg," everyone panicked instantly. For ordinary civilian starships, encountering Zerg was like a meat bun meeting a dog—certain death was inevitable.
For a moment, everyone was plunged into despair. Some cursed, while others quietly followed the crew into the safe house on the starship, where at least they could hold out for a while longer.
Of course, there were also some people with mechs who wanted to escape in their mechs, but they were all stopped by the security personnel on the starship. If they escaped now, they would probably be devoured without a trace.
Looking at the sturdy, windowless house and the anxious crowd, Lu Manman couldn't help but feel worried. She wasn't afraid of encountering the insectoids on the planet, but this was space. If the starship was destroyed and she was exposed in space, could she still survive?
Lu Manman was on the verge of tears. Was she having a run of bad luck? Nothing seemed to be going right. She had only been in this interstellar space for a few days, but she had already faced several life-threatening situations, which were even more terrifying than the apocalypse.
Boom! Boom!
The starship was hit several more times, and its flight became unstable.
Every two meters around the starship was a 360-degree rotating cannon, making the starship resemble a ball of light, firing at the Zerg from all directions.
They relentlessly reaped the lives of the Zerg, but their killing speed couldn't keep up with the Zerg's replacement speed, and the Zerg still swarmed over in dense numbers.
Lu Manman and the others hid in the closed safe house, completely unaware of what was happening outside, and their panic grew.
"Can we safely wait for the army to come to our aid? These are the Zerg, and judging from the flight attendants' expressions, there are probably quite a few of them. We're in a very dangerous situation."
"I saw it before I closed the window with the alloy plate. There were so many Zerg, a huge, densely packed swarm."
"I saw it too, there were so many, it was terrifying."
hiss!
Everyone gasped, knowing they were likely doomed. A wave of sadness washed over them, and many who were not in good spirits began to wail and cry.
"Why are we so unlucky? Why did it have to happen to us? I'm still young, I don't want to die."
"I just bought a house I liked with a mortgage, and it's just been renovated. I went there to pick up my child to come and see it. How did I run into the Zerg? My child is so young. I've only just started to make a name for myself. Soon my son and I will be reunited. How could this happen? He's so young. He can't live without me."
"I don't want to die either. I don't want to be eaten by those nasty insects."
Sadness is contagious, like a virus, and more and more people are starting to cry.
Lu Manman felt a pang of sadness as she listened, and thinking of herself, she couldn't help but feel a surge of sorrow. But it only lasted for a moment, because she knew that crying was useless at this time. Instead of shedding tears here, she should think about how to save herself.
Inside the starship's command center, all the starship's crew members were gathered, and everyone looked at the captain.
"Captain, what should we do? There are too many Zerg."
The captain's brows furrowed deeply. Although he was uncertain, he appeared calm on the surface. "Let's search some more. There must be a way. Our only option now is to hold out until the army arrives."
While reassuring everyone, the captain kept a close eye on the screen, trying to find a breakthrough.
Suddenly, the captain's eyes lit up. "Found it!"
The captain immediately ordered everyone to concentrate all firepower in one direction, where the Zerg encirclement was weaker.
Soon, a gap was created in the slightly weak spot, and the captain sped towards the gap at full power.
Everyone's hearts were in their throats. As long as they could get through, everything would be alright. The people in the cockpit finally saw a glimmer of hope for survival.
Suddenly, a woman appeared directly in front of them with a smile on her face. Everyone's pupils trembled and their hearts sank to the bottom.
The woman simply raised her right hand slightly, and the starship, unable to brake in time, was instantly imprinted with a deep handprint by her palm, causing it to flip uncontrollably.
Everyone was thrown about in the cockpit, but the captain was the first to regain his balance and shouted, "Quick, report to the army! The Zerg Queen has appeared!"
"Captain, we've already reported it. What do we do now?"
The captain stared at the chaotic and shattered control room in silence. If it were just ordinary Zerg, they might still have a sliver of hope of escape, but now the Zerg Queen had appeared...
No, we absolutely cannot sit idly by and wait to die. The captain forced himself to calm down.
"We are now on the brink of death. If we want to survive, we must hold out until the army arrives. Otherwise, we will all die. Now, listen to my order: all mech warriors, step forward and go out to protect the starship. We must not let the starship be destroyed. Only mech warriors and the starship can make the Zerg wary."
"Vice-Captain, go to the safe house and mobilize as many mech warriors as possible among the passengers to help guard the satellite ship. You will be richly rewarded after the mission is accomplished."
"The maintenance team leader must lead the maintenance team to repair the damaged mechs as soon as possible."
"Medical team leader, be on standby at all times and do everything possible to protect the health of the mech warriors."
"Logistics team leader, distribute a mental energy stabilizer and a mental energy repair agent to each mech warrior who is going out."
"..."
The captain methodically arranged things, and seeing this, everyone felt reassured and their hopes were rekindled.
