An anxious voice came through the small earpiece in Si Yu's ear: "Boss, we couldn't hold off Shan Xun, and he left."
He glanced at the man in front of him. He already knew that these useless idiots had gotten so close to him so quickly, and it seemed that this person had arrived here quite fast.
Si Yu, holding Jiang Zheyu, kept backing away.
"Put down your gun." Si Yu's dark green eyes fixed on Shan Xun.
He said he gently pressed the gun in his hand against Jiang Zheyu's head.
Jiang Zheyu felt the cold gun on his head and felt a chill run down his spine. Could it be that Si Yu's love had turned into hatred?
She dared not make a move at all.
Was she betting that he loved her and couldn't bear to hurt her, or that his gun was unloaded?
Jiang Zheyu dared not gamble at all, she dared not risk her life on whether Si Yu liked her or would be willing to kill her.
After all, this person is extremely vengeful. What if he drags her down with him after a fight to the death?
Si Yu's nonchalant tone made Shan Xun put down his gun, but Shan Xun did not move for a moment.
He then repeated softly, with a hint of contemptuous indifference: "Put down your gun."
This time, Shan Xun finally put down his gun and casually tossed it away.
A pair of deep purple eyes fixed on the other person with a sinister look, like predators eyeing their prey.
Si Yu's eyes narrowed slightly and dangerously: "Step back, don't come any closer!"
Dan Xun slowly retreated, but in the next second, he instantly pulled out a gun and fired. The bullet whistled through the air and directly pierced the mechanical wires of the android arm holding the gun in Si Yu's hand. The gun in Si Yu's hand also fell to the ground.
Before Jiang Zheyu could react, a swift shadow flashed by, and she was violently thrown aside, slamming to the ground amidst a flurry of gunfire and loud crashes.
Everything happened so suddenly that there was no time to react.
Jiang Zheyu fell to the ground, turning around in shock. He saw that Shan Xun's fist had pierced through Si Yu's chest, and the messy mechanical lines inside the android's body were crackling with electricity, which also shocked Shan Xun's arm, leaving a burnt smell.
Before his android body was destroyed, Si Yu glared at Shan Xun with a sinister look: "Good, very good indeed."
Then, in a gloomy and morbid voice, he said, "I will come again. You must take good care of the female. I will definitely come back to take her away next time."
Dan Xun threw the android body aside.
So Si Yu's android body closed its eyes amidst the tangled wires, successfully extinguishing the power and severing all contact.
At that very moment, all the starships that had been attacking the base also sped away.
They came quickly and left quickly, as if they had come without a trace and gone without a trace, like a very brief test.
Jiang Zheyu finally breathed a slight sigh of relief after seeing Si Yu's android body close its eyes.
She was actually a little surprised that she hadn't been captured by the space pirates and that Shan Xun had actually rescued her.
Shan Xun, tall and strong, slowly walked over and squatted down in front of her. His sharp, high-bridged eyebrows furrowed slightly: "Are you injured?"
Jiang Zheyu smelled a faint scent of blood, paused for a moment, and shook his head: "I'm not injured, but you, are you injured?"
Jiang Zheyu couldn't really see clearly whether Shan Xun was injured or bleeding from his all-black combat uniform.
"It's nothing, I'll just get bandaged up at the base hospital later." Shan Xun's expression was calm, after all, he had only been hit by a few bullets.
Jiang Zheyu actually wanted to ask, wasn't Shan Xun afraid that Si Yu would break her head if she just rushed over like that?
She herself wasn't confident that Si Yu would pull the trigger.
If Shan Xun's movements were even a fraction slower than Si Yu's, then it wouldn't be Si Yu who got shot, but her head.
However, seeing that Shan Xun had also been hit, she didn't say anything more.
She couldn't very well accuse someone of gambling with her life.
"Is there something you're trying to say?" Shan Xun asked directly.
Jiang Zheyu did not expect that the other party had seen through his thoughts.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. Let's go to the base hospital first." Jiang Zheyu said, standing up and grabbing Shan Xun's arm, trying to help him up. "Where were you shot?"
"Arm," was all Shan Xun said.
Jiang Zheyu quickly released Shan Xun's arm: "Huh? Is it this arm?"
“No, it’s another one.” Shan Xun also stood up.
Jiang Zheyu's gaze then fell on his other arm, and he saw that the black combat uniform had been stained dark. The blood was not obvious on the combat uniform, but the bright red blood flowing from the narrow cuffs, spreading to the five palms, then to the fingers, and finally falling onto the porcelain white ground, became extremely obvious.
The two of them walked side by side to the base's hospital.
"What exactly were you trying to say?" Shan Xun kept thinking about this one thing because he couldn't get a reply.
Jiang Zheyu paused. Since they had already been rescued, there was no need to bring up those things again. However, she did not expect that Shan Xun would keep bringing up this matter.
Finally, she slowly spoke up: "It's nothing, I just thought you would have Si Yu grab me and leave, since I was being threatened by Si Yu."
"I told you, even if I die, I will never let you be captured by space pirates," Shan Xun said coldly. "This is my mission."
"What if you just fired a shot, enraging Si Yu, and then, in a fit of rage, he actually shot me in the head?" Jiang Zheyu didn't even know what she was angry about. "Don't you care about my life or death at all?"
"Don't you trust me?" Shan Xun's brows furrowed deeply. "Or do you think I'll let you get hurt? I'm confident in everything I do; if I can save you, I definitely can."
Jiang Zheyu couldn't help but get angry again. "It's not that I don't trust you, but I feel that you don't care about my life or death at all. Have you ever thought that if you were even a little slower than Si Yu, Si Yu's gun would have hit me on the head?"
"I care about you!" Shan Xun grabbed Jiang Zheyu's wrist, his deep purple gaze fixed on Jiang Zheyu's eyes. "So my first shot hit the link of his mechanical arm, causing him to drop the gun. And what you're saying now is all questioning whether my shot could have been a mistake?"
Jiang Zheyu is really furious with Shan Xun!
"Let's not talk about this anymore!" Jiang Zheyu said angrily. "You should go to the hospital to get your injured arm bandaged first!"
