Chapter 390 The Third Team Falls
That day, after class, Mu Qingxin walked towards the dormitory. She didn't use the Qingfeng Step. She had already practiced the Huiyin Jue to the final level. Since she had no class in the second period, she wanted to walk back to the dormitory slowly. Suddenly, Mu Qingxin was keenly aware of the gazes around her. She looked up and saw that the students around her were looking at her with pity and worry in their eyes...
Pity and worry? Why were they looking at her like that? Did she need pity and worry? Mu Qingxin looked around in confusion. The students quickly looked away when they caught her gaze.
Along the way, Mu Qingxin noticed that everyone looked at her with pity. Mu Qingxin suddenly felt uneasy and uncomfortable. What happened?
"Classmate, please wait a moment!" Mu Qingxin called out to a student in front of her.
Unexpectedly, the student quickly said, "I'm going to be late for class, I have to go to class!" and then ran away quickly.
"..." Mu Qingxin's doubts grew stronger. She stood there, her mental power scattered, covering the entire academy. Then she heard all kinds of sounds coming into her ears.
Among the many voices, she keenly heard her own name. A trace of her mental power immediately moved over and she saw a group of students gathered in a classroom, talking about something.
"When did this happen? Why haven't I heard about it?"
"It seems to have happened this morning..."
"No, it happened last night. I just found out this morning, but it's over!"
"Oh my god, how could this happen? The Zerg are so despicable that they actually started attacking us so openly!"
"Alas, what a pity for all the people in the third team. Not a single one survived..."
"What about Commander Mu?"
"It seems he was also sacrificed..."
"Ah? Does Mu Qingxin know?"
"I don't know..."
"How pitiful! If Mu Qingxin knew, she would definitely be very sad..."
...Mu Qingxin stood there stiffly, listening to what the group of students said. After the bell rang, they stopped talking and sat down immediately.
The discussion stopped, and only groups of students were walking on the roads of the academy. Mu Qingxin stood alone, stiffly in place, her eyes dull. Everything seemed to be at a standstill. The following sentences kept repeating in her mind: "Commander Mu has died...", "How pitiful!", "Does Mu Qingxin know?", "No one from the Third Squadron survived..."
"Today... is it... April Fool's Day? Haha, are you all conspiring to trick me..." Mu Qingxin smiled softly, but a voice in her heart forced her not to ask, not to look, not to say... It's all fake, fake! Dad is going to the capital planet tomorrow. I was just video chatting with him yesterday afternoon. Everything was fine. How could it be... No way!!!
Above the planet M101, the ships of the Nether Fleet were parked in a devastated starry sky.
Qin Jiyou stood in the battleship, surveying everything outside with a sullen expression. Floating around him were the wreckage of ships, various warship parts, mechas still on fire, shell casings scattered everywhere, and even some corpses...
"Count the number of people, report the bodies after counting them, and clean up the battlefield. Has Commander Mu been found?" Qin Jiyou had returned to the ship at this time and asked Ling Xuan beside him.
Ling Xuan also had a gloomy face, full of sadness, and said in a deep voice, "Nothing was found, even the body... was not found. I heard from the monitoring troops on the planet M101 that it seemed that someone died together with the Zerg at the last moment. I wonder if it was Commander Mu..." Ling Xuan did not continue the following words, but Qin Jiyou knew the meaning.
Suddenly, Qin Jiyou saw another warship outside searching through the wreckage, "Who is that?"
Ling Xuan looked outside and said, "It should be Yu Xiu and Qi Xi..."
Thinking of the relationship between them and Mu Fengnian, Qin Jiyou said nothing more. Qin Jiyou had been enduring the miserable situation of the third team. What distressed him the most was that he didn't know what would happen after the girl knew about this... Qin Jiyou didn't dare to think about it, but he was afraid that the girl would not be able to bear it after knowing about this from others. He walked to the corner alone, thought about it, turned on the light brain to contact Mu Qingxin.
“Ding ding…”
Mu Qingxin was walking aimlessly in the academy at this moment, not knowing where she was. When she heard the voice of the computer, she stopped in a daze. She looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings and saw no one. She lowered her head and looked at the computer again. It was a message from Qin Jiyou. Mu Qingxin hesitated whether to answer it. She was a little scared at this moment. She was afraid that Qin Jiyou’s sudden call was to tell her something bad, and she didn’t want to listen...
The light brain kept ringing over and over again, and Qin Jiyu's heart beat faster and faster with the sound of the light brain. He was very worried, fearing that Mu Qingxin had already known about it and would do something.
Mu Qingxin had not received any communication from Qin Jiyou. She looked at the light brain and wanted to click but kept hesitating, not daring to click it. Finally, she clicked it and went to the Star Network to search for what happened this morning. However, before she searched, she had already seen today's headlines. The Star Network was full of reports about the complete annihilation of the third team.
Mu Qingxin stared blankly at the messages. One of them read, "Commander Mu Fengnian of the Third Squadron perished alongside the Zerg at the age of..." Tears fell without warning. Then she saw the messages of condolence from Dongfang Ling, Shui Huanlan, and others. Mu Qingxin lowered her head and read through them one by one...
"Heart"
Suddenly, Qin Jiyou's image appeared in front of Mu Qingxin. Mu Qingxin blinked away the tears in her eyes and looked at the image blankly, not knowing whether it was real or fake.
"Xinxin..." Qin Jiyou's heart tightened when he saw Mu Qingxin crying, and a look of reluctance and distress flashed in his eyes. "Be good, don't cry, I'm here, don't worry, I will definitely find Commander Mu!"
After hearing this, Mu Qingxin suddenly realized that Qin Jiyou was really talking to her. Listening to Qin Jiyou's words, Mu Qingxin's tears flowed again. After holding it in for a long time, it seemed as if she finally found an outlet and broke down and vented it all at once.
"You..., tell me, that's fake! My father will be arriving at the capital star tomorrow. He told me yesterday that he brought me a gift. The rumors on the star network are all fake, right?" Mu Qingxin looked at Qin Jiyou longingly, hoping to hear the answer she expected from him.
Qin Jiyou looked at Mu Qingxin distressedly and said softly, "Xinxin..., you have to be strong."
