The insects were staring at him.
Longing, eager, filled with adoration and attachment.
They are searching for him, calling out to him.
When they heard the call, they flocked to it without hesitation, even at the cost of their lives.
Because he is their king.
...
"Did you... hear that...?"
Lin Xi's body swayed slightly.
He found a fleeting opportunity and forced a sliver of clarity out of that drowning-like chaos to take control of himself.
He gasped for breath and managed to squeeze out a few weak, incoherent questions.
However, Bryce didn't notice Lin Xi's overly soft voice, even though his brother was actually right in front of him—
Almost at the same time Lin Xi spoke, the warning light above the medical room door began to flash. Bryce turned his head sharply, his eyes wide with shock as he looked at the warning light, and the medical room door slid open to both sides.
In fact, the moment the warning light came on, Bryce envisioned what the outside world should look like: at that moment, all the passageways leading to the medical room would open simultaneously, creating an unobstructed emergency rescue passage inside the spaceship.
The warning light indicates that a crew member has been subjected to a hostile attack and urgently needs medical treatment.
Remember, it's not injury, it's attack.
However, since the Great Age of Exploration ended, the space pirates and the murderous, crazed Celestials have disappeared, and the warning lights on this old spaceship may not have been lit for a hundred years.
"Wounded soldiers—seriously wounded soldiers—"
It seemed that the very next second the warning light came on, two junior medical technicians, leading a medical robot like sprinters pushing two metal stretchers, rushed directly into the medical room along the emergency passage.
On those two stretchers lay two bloodied people.
The bright orange exploration team uniforms, still partially covered in blood, identified the two men, but under these circumstances, Lin Xi found it difficult to determine whether they were acquaintances of his.
Their heads were covered by makeshift forced respirators, tilted to the shoulders, completely still. If it weren't for the green light indicating the life support system was still flashing on the metal stretchers, Lin Xi would hardly have been able to tell that the two lifeless shells were actually two living people. As for their wounds, they could only be described as gruesome. The helmets and gloves of both exploration team members were torn, and the uneven edges of the tears showed that their exploration suits had been ripped open by brute force.
Whatever happened before, it must have been a terrible attack, and both victims were seriously injured.
Large amounts of medical foam were used to fill the gaps between the tears in the exploration suit, but it was obvious to anyone that the foam was not very effective. The foam, which should have been light blue, was now stained dark purple by the constantly seeping blood, and more blood was trickling out from beneath the foam.
Blood dripped onto the floor and was then crushed by the metal wheels, leaving a winding, continuous crimson trail—as if the Apollo itself were some kind of living organism, and something was carving bloody cuts into its pale abdomen.
"Hang in there, buddy! Almost there! You'll pull through once you're in the treatment pod..."
Following closely behind the metal stretcher were several other exploration team members, one of whom was shouting repeatedly at the team member on the stretcher who was clearly unconscious—though his own condition was not much better than the two lying on the stretcher.
Strictly speaking, all the exploration team members that Lin Xi could see looked terrible.
Their signature bright orange exploration suits were almost entirely soaked in blood, along with large, mottled patches of slime, some of which was stained with the severed limbs of alien insects. And each of them looked terrified, like a group of children scared out of their wits in a haunted house.
"what happened?!"
Bryce's fingers trembled slightly, then he clenched his fist.
Only Lin Xi noticed this small movement, and the next second, Bryce was enveloped by an aura of calmness that was almost cruel.
He immediately took the wounded, and began examining the two seriously injured, asking questions with astonishing calm.
"Report to the medical officer: the exploration team was attacked by insects without warning as they entered the spacecraft!"
The junior medical technician's voice still trembled slightly, but he quickly delivered his report.
Bryce tore open the medical foam that was no longer effective, then shredded the two men's clothes.
He had prepared himself mentally, but he still held his breath because of the horrific wound.
Both men's bodies were "opened up," and beneath the red muscles were clearly visible internal organs, which had been haphazardly cut into a jumbled mess of pieces. If it weren't for the medical foam, they would almost have spilled out of the two wounded men's abdominal cavities.
"Those damn bugs charged straight into the airlock! They swarmed in, such huge bugs, but the repellent didn't work. We have no idea what happened. Those bugs looked like they wanted to eat people—"
A young team member, who looked terrified, followed behind the medical technician, shouting in a panic.
"They ate Steve and Joe, I saw it, oh heavens..."
Another person, as if haunted by a nightmare, stared at his colleague on the stretcher, muttering to himself. His face was covered in fine scratches, and blood flowed down his cheekbones to his chin. He had a shattered helmet tucked under his arm.
"Medical officer, our stock of artificial blood is exhausted!" another medical technician shouted in panic.
"Beep beep—beep beep—" This was the life monitoring device on the stretcher sounding an alarm. The small green light had turned red and was flashing incessantly like a heartbeat.
"Keep going, Joe, brother. I know you can do it, I know—"
This is another exploration team member.
The entire medical room was filled with shouts and cries; it was as noisy as a Christmas sale on Earth. The only difference was that there was no death or human weeping in the background of a Christmas sale.
"Shut up! Be quiet—"
Bryce turned around and roared at everyone.
Everyone paused for a moment because of this.
At that very moment, the life monitoring system connected to the two seriously injured people emitted a long "beep beep," officially announcing that the two had entered the realm of death.
Bryce's pupils suddenly contracted, but his cold expression remained unchanged on the surface.
He turned directly to the bewildered, inexperienced medical technician and ordered, "Turn on the treatment equipment! Emergency!"
The young man seemed to wake up from a dream. He hurriedly lifted the outer cover of the treatment device, and with the help of the robot, he put the two injured people, or rather, the corpses, into the treatment device and pressed the emergency treatment button.
The robotic arm pressed against the two men's chests and began releasing an electric current, causing the two bloodied corpses to bounce. Bryce rushed over, immediately set the healing level to maximum, and then began adjusting the other settings.
After about a dozen electric shocks and a large dose of medication, the chests of the two wounded soldiers finally began to rise and fall again. The green fluorescence, indicating the return of vital signs, lit up below the treatment device. At the same time, nanobots, like mist, were sprayed onto the wounded soldiers and formed a thin film on their horrific wounds, quickly suturing the bleeding areas.
Things seemed to be getting better, but that was only for a brief moment.
Because in the very next second, the bodies of the two injured men began to twitch uncontrollably inside the treatment device.
That was definitely not a normal twitch, and of course, there wouldn't be any "normal twitch" in this situation anyway—Lin Xi stared blankly at everything in front of her and thought to herself.
"Bang—bang—"
He stared wide-eyed at the medical room, which had instantly descended into chaos again… and at the two severely injured patients inside the treatment machines, their limbs flailing wildly in an arched, erratic motion. Their hands and feet pounded violently against the transparent casing of the machines, their once ashen faces now a purplish-red, their heart rate monitors a blood-red hue; the straight line that had reached its maximum value had become meaningless, no longer even worth checking.
"Hiss..."
Bryce and the others began providing emergency treatment to the two wounded men who had suddenly started convulsing for unknown reasons. But all of this seemed as elusive as a fog to Lin Xi.
Something is transforming, taking shape, and about to hatch inside that healing device.
It was something exceptionally evil and bloodthirsty—you could sense that just from the emotions it constantly conveyed.
Their frenzied thoughts, like their vitality, grew stronger and more powerful.
At first, Lin Xi thought it was just his hallucination, palpitations, or perhaps panic disorder, but he soon realized that things were not like that.
"insect--"
Lin Xi's lips trembled slightly as he mumbled a call to his brother.
He wished he could express that feeling more clearly, but at that moment his thoughts were too chaotic.
That almost violent emotion assaulted his fragile soul.
"king……"
Lin Xi was covered in cold sweat, and her heart was beating faster and faster.
Sharp pain pierced deep within his skull.
That thing is about to come out.
Those are insects.
"Insects" beyond human comprehension are about to emerge from the bodies of those two unfortunate souls.
The voice deep within Lin Xi's heart coldly narrated this.
Then a scene clearly appeared in Lin Xi's mind.
They would slide directly out of those two useless skins, their chitinous carapaces black and hard, their appendages exceptionally sharp.
The treatment device was smashed, and the objects jumped out.
The sharp spikes covering their carapace would sever the head of the young medical technician next to the treatment device, and blood would spurt out. People began to scream, but before they could draw their weapons, the giant, spider-like insects would leap up, their two forelegs slicing through the bodies of the humans with ease, like scythes.
Blood.
More blood will stain the entire medical room a warm, sweet-smelling crimson.
The man's shattered body parts were scattered on the ground and then impaled by thin, sharp spikes.
It was a gift for the king, warm and fresh, flesh and blood that was still trembling.
Their king is still weak, young, and easily hurt, and He needs them.
And now, there are only a few dozen seconds left.
They are about to come into this world.
The most important king who protects them.
...
Lin Xi suddenly pinched himself, the stinging pain bringing him back to reality from that illusory state.
But the smell of insects was getting stronger and stronger, and he wondered why the other people in the medical room couldn't smell it at all—it was the smell of death.
Lin Xi wanted to warn them, but he couldn't move. His brain seemed to have separated from his body, and the muscles in his throat were as hard as rocks.
People, including Bryce, remained oblivious to the fact that the two insects were contained within the enclosure.
Oh my god, Bryce.
Lin Xi's gaze was fixed on his brother, and then a strong emotion suddenly broke through the stagnation.
“Bryce, there’s something inside them—worms inside them—”
Lin Xi rushed toward the treatment device and yelled at Bryce.
Immediately afterwards, he shoved aside the young medical technician standing next to the treatment device, reached for the control panel, switched the device to the highest level of sterilization, and pressed start.
"What are you doing--"
Seeing the treatment device locked, the medical technician, who had fallen to the ground, finally reacted and shouted at Lin Xi in shock.
During the Age of Exploration, humanity had not yet developed the mature immune system we have today. Although not common, highly lethal type A lunar infectious diseases still occurred from time to time, and treatment devices had to be equipped with very strict disinfection procedures.
The "disinfection" mentioned here is not the ordinary high-temperature disinfection that ancient humans could understand—
A burst of white mist shot out from the nozzle inside the treatment device, perfectly enveloping the body of the injured person who was still "dancing." Then, a pale blue light flashed out, silently sweeping from the tail of the treatment device to the top.
Although it may seem unremarkable, if that blue light were amplified several thousand times, it would be equivalent to a conventional ion pulse cannon used on a military destroyer—this thin blue line would be enough to burn away all viruses in its path—as well as the human body.
Sure enough, no more extra sounds came from the treatment device.
"...You will kill him!"
It wasn't until this point that the medical technician finally managed to utter the rest of his sentence.
In the blink of an eye, the other exploration team members realized what was happening the instant Lin Xi made his move. They rushed towards him, slammed him to the ground, and dislocated his joints.
"What the hell did you do?!"
A wounded exploration team member screamed in disbelief.
"You're killing someone!"
Some people tried to stop the procedure, but unlike Lin Xi, they didn't have an older brother who was a medical officer, and they were far less familiar with the equipment in the medical room than Lin Xi was.
At least in the treatment device next to Lin Xi, there were no signs of life.
The team members, who were already in a state of shock, showed no mercy to Lin Xi. Half of Lin Xi's face was swollen and her joints were dislocated.
But Lin Xi didn't take it seriously. The intense pain even brought him a sense of joy—pain meant clarity. He had at least dealt with one of the bugs, while the other was still jumping around in the treatment device next to Bryce.
The moment Lin Xi was knocked to the ground by the exploration team, the insect's vitality surged so powerfully that it seemed as if you could hear its heartbeat.
It's about to come out—maybe in the next second.
“Bryce—look at that guy—it’s a bug—you have to kill it before it crawls out!”
Lin Xi turned her head and shouted at Bryce.
The exploration team members were still on top of him, and someone seemed to have punched him to shut him up. From his current angle, Bryce's ashen face looked somewhat comical.
Then Lin Xi saw Bryce turn his head and look at the "person" in the treatment device.
The man's skin had turned a horrifying dark red, and his eyes, which had been tightly closed, were now wide open, with his eyeballs rolled back. Large amounts of blood were gushing from his mouth, nostrils, and ears.
Nanorobots have reached their maximum power, but the wounds they mend are always washed open by fresh blood the next second.
In this situation, the upper body of the exploration team members had almost lifted off the bed.
His body arched unnaturally, his chest bulging out—
This scene is terrifying.
But Bryce had witnessed far more extreme scenes during his time as a medical officer; some crew members, experiencing space hallucinations, would even bite off their own tongues and fingers. In comparison, the injured man next to him could be described as suffering from severe epilepsy or something else entirely.
But Bryce carried out almost without hesitation what Lin Xi had done to another person moments before.
Lock down the medical pod.
Activate the highest level of disinfection mode.
The blue light came on.
"Medical officer?"
The medical technician stared at Bryce incredulously, his jaw slightly agape, making him look exceptionally foolish and ridiculous.
"I'm going to kill you—"
The exploration team leader, who was already in a state of extreme excitement, rushed towards Bryce. Bryce took a step back, raised his fist, and swung it at the man, knocking him to the ground.
"It's an insect!"
At a critical moment when the situation was completely out of control, Bryce yelled at everyone else.
"There's something moving under that guy's skin, it's a fucking bug!"
Bryce said.
Then he shoved aside the group of idiots around him, pulled Lin Xi up from the ground, and shielded her behind him.
Now, he has to face not only his subordinates who are shocked and speechless, but also all the remaining exploration team members standing in the medical room.
"What did you say?"
A young man who looked a bit silly asked blankly.
"You mean Joe and the others have been infested with parasites? That doesn't make sense at all. He was just bitten; it's impossible for parasites to lay eggs and hatch in such a short time—"
The young man's words suddenly stopped.
His eyes widened in horror as he stared at what was behind Bryce.
Inside the treatment device, the pressure particles that were meant to protect the outer casing from being cut by the beam have dissipated, and people can clearly see the inside of the sterilized treatment device through the transparent outer shell.
The two unfortunate men who were attacked were already dead. Their bodies were instantly burned into gray powder by the high temperature. In the middle of the powder, two insects were clinging tightly to the middle of the corpses. They still retained the posture of their last moments before death—their forelimbs were extended upwards and their tails were pressed into the human's abdominal cavity.
They weren't particularly large in size, but their appearance was terrifying enough.
Both the spikes on their shells and their blade-like forelegs prove that they are ferocious by nature.
"What's this……"
Almost everyone saw the ashes left behind by the two insects.
Similarly, everyone was stunned.
Someone murmured and took a step forward, but a small tremor from the Sun God caused the ashes in the healing device to collapse suddenly. The ashes of the insects and the humans mingled together, becoming indistinguishable.
The lights first became unusually bright, then suddenly dimmed; the flickering light was caused by a violent change in the spaceship's energy.
Immediately afterwards, red light, used for emergency situations, filled the entire medical room.
The stern voice of the first officer, Elisa, echoed throughout every corner of the Helios via the ship's public address system.
"This is Alyssa Ross, First Officer of the Helios. This is an urgent notification—the Helios is under attack. Our existing defenses are about to overload. To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, we will immediately activate the 'Covenant' uce-994 protective shield at level VI after this message. During this process, the ship's daily energy will be affected. All crew members, please prepare accordingly. Ten-second countdown—"
"10——"
"9——"
"8——"
...
Just before this message was sent out, on the other side of the Sun God, deep inside the captain's cabin, Monroe El, the head of the energy analysis team, wiped the cold sweat that kept pouring down his forehead and looked at the woman who now controlled the Bureau.
"Vice-Captain Ross, are you sure you want to do this?"
He said in a dry voice.
"'Covenant' will burn up forty percent of our remaining fuel. At this rate, even if the engine is repaired, we won't be able to reach our destination. Those things are just bugs; we'll find a way to deal with them."
The Covenant CUE-994 Protective Shield – generally, people just call this thing "Covenant".
In the era of great exploration, almost every spaceship was inevitably equipped with this ultimate protective weapon.
This technology from the Anya people is usually only used in space combat. Once activated, anything within a 500-meter radius of the spaceship that is deemed to cause damage, whether biological or inorganic, will be instantly vaporized to another microscopic level (that's right, humanity has tried for many years but cannot explain the mechanism behind it, just like with other Anya technologies) – its only drawback is that its efficiency and usefulness are directly proportional to its fuel consumption.
No sooner had Monroe finished speaking than another voice rang out, its tone dripping with sharp sarcasm.
"Those bugs are about to break through the plasma layer. If this continues, we will either have to scrap an ion generator, which would make it impossible for us to fly, or the bugs will come into contact with the spaceship, damage the pipelines, and eat a few crew members along the way—and the consequence will still be that our spaceship will probably be completely stranded on this damn bug planet."
On the other side of Elisa, Chris Zhu, a man who was usually exceptionally calm, turned around and glared at Monroe. He was the head of the spacecraft engineering team, and he was probably the one who knew the situation of the Helios better than anyone else.
In fact, it was his suggestion to activate the "Covenant" shield.
There were still some bloodstains on his clothes, left by the exploration team.
Chris Zhu was among the crew who had been attacked by insects outside the cabin not long ago. He had just finished an external maintenance operation and happened to meet up with the exploration team who had rushed back from the outside in the airlock.
However, he was much luckier than his colleagues. When the insects forced their way through the gaps and tore apart the human bodies, he had the chance to take a step forward and enter the spaceship—he was protected by the hull, but that did not prevent him from seeing the bloody scene through the window.
"Once you've seen those things... you'll know they're definitely not just 'insects'."
Chris murmured, facing the control panel. As he recalled the scene from before, his face turned deathly pale, and an uncontrollable fear flashed across his eyes.
"However, our fuel really can't withstand this kind of waste. If we turn the plasma protection up to the maximum and then shut down the ion generator within three seconds, it might be able to handle it—"
Monroe El's attempts to persuade Elisa were in vain.
He couldn't understand why, at such a critical moment, the real captain, Taran, would lock himself inside his cabin and refuse to come out, and that guy even completely handed over command of the ship to Elisa.
Oh, it's not that there's anything wrong with Elisa, it's just... she is, after all, a woman.
Women are easily frightened, especially when the attacker is a terrifying, large insect.
In Monroe's view, Elisa was in a state of mental instability, to the point that she would overreact and demand this unprecedentedly wasteful and excessive defense when provoked.
Please, under normal circumstances, if any shuttle ship could deliver supplies and fuel, he wouldn't say a word about this decision. But now they've been stuck on an asteroid whose coordinates they haven't even found yet for dozens of days.
God knows how these people will survive if the fuel goes wrong.
As for Chris Zhu, that sissy, he was clearly terrified by the bugs to make such an absurd suggestion.
Using the "covenant" to deal with insects?
Monroe suspected that when he returned to Earth, his colleagues would probably laugh him to death because of this experience...
“El,” Elisa suddenly turned her head, her hand already on the start button, “I’ve made my decision.”
Elisa said.
"Can--"
Monroe opened his mouth, instinctively wanting to say something more, but when he met Elisa's gaze, the words stuck in his throat.
There was something in Elisa's eyes.
Monroe couldn't say what it was, but just by meeting that look in her eyes, he knew that even if Taran himself were standing there, Elisa wouldn't change her mind.
Elisa didn't say anything to Monroe. She calmly pressed the activation button for the Covenant Shield and then began broadcasting to the ship.
On the console's launch screen, the Covenant's charging progress bar steadily increases as the countdown begins.
At the same time, due to the high power output, all the lines except for a few fixed ones, such as the captain's console, became unstable. Then, the bridge went dark, and a slight vibration came from the soles of everyone's feet, which was the shield generator activating.
"Three seconds left, Captain."
Chris reported, his hands gripping the control handles.
Elisa stared intently at the screen—not the countdown or the interface of the Covenant Shield, but the footage transmitted from their few remaining monitors. Because the insects were so dense, the screen had been completely black for the past ten minutes or so, with only very brief gaps where you could clearly see the complex and terrifying undersides of the insects constantly moving.
At that moment, only she knew how terrified she was.
If in the past her intuition would warn her about certain things, now her danger warning system had exploded in her soul due to overload.
Nothing could have made her feel worse than those insects; something strangely ominous was gathering inside the spaceship.
Elisa believed that even without Chris's suggestion, she would have activated the Covenant without hesitation, because...
"2——"
"1——"
With the activation of the protective shield.
All the usual lights on the entire spaceship suddenly went out.
The bridge was completely dark, with only the lights flashing on the control panel.
A bright silver light flashed from the detection screen.
Then, the insect that had been covering the front of the probe disappeared.
The alien landscape reappeared on the screen.
Unlike before, there is now a hazy, iridescent, transparent film, like a soap bubble, separating the planet's nature from the hull of the Sun God spaceship.
Within the shield's range, there was no sign of life.
The lights were turned back on about twenty seconds later, but the light was dimmer than before because the secondary energy was activated.
Although many people opposed the activation of the shields, the crew cheered after the insects that had almost enveloped the entire spaceship disappeared.
In this brief moment of relaxation, Elisa swayed slightly, let out a long breath, and then reached out to open her personal terminal.
Are you alright? —Message sent by: Elisa
The recipient is Bryce.
Elisa knew there had been serious casualties in the airlock, and that Bryce was probably going through a tough fight, which worried her greatly.
She never expected to receive a reply from Bryce so quickly.
Worse than bad, I think I'll come to you immediately to report the situation. Two of our wounded have turned into insects, and Lin Xi has fainted. —Message sent by: Bryce
...
Lin Xi fainted the instant that the protective shield evaporated all the billions of insects.
Even after he regained consciousness, he found it difficult to describe the feeling he had when those insects died...
His connection with something was abruptly severed.
Those were clearly extremely fragile and tiny mental links, but their number was so vast that when those mental links were so brutally severed, Lin Xi even felt as if a part of his body was being ripped out alive and then disappeared into the bright silver light of the Holy Covenant Shield.
The indescribable, immense pain instantly shattered his sanity.
Then he lost consciousness.
What's puzzling is that even in his coma, he always felt that a part of his body was conscious, and that "he" was feeling pain and rage because of the deaths of his kin.
At times, Lin Xi even felt as if he had become an insect himself. Driven by rage, he swung his sharp forelimbs and sliced open the bodies of the warm bipedal creatures.
The blood spurting out when the prey dies gives "him" a sense of satisfaction.
These can all be used to incubate the young, newly born king.
He thought happily.
etc……
This isn't right... He's not an insect... He's clearly... a human...
Lin Xi suddenly realized what was going on.
Then, he opened his eyes.
He woke up.
There was complete silence around him.
Lin Xi got up with a splitting headache and looked around blankly.
Bryce wasn't by his side as usual. Lin Xi was now in a simple room, with an old medical device that looked almost a thousand years old attached to his body.
Beside him lay several other injured people who were also receiving rudimentary treatment.
"Hey, buddy, you're finally awake."
A young man tilted his head and spoke weakly to Lin Xi.
Lin Xi stared at his exploration team uniform, which was full of tears and stained with blood, for a long time before she remembered his identity.
"mark?"
He tentatively called out the young man's name.
"what happened?"
Lin Xi rubbed her face, then shuddered from the pain.
He felt like something was wrong with him, and his mind was a complete blank.
"No way? You don't remember?" Mark stared at Lin Xi in astonishment, his eyes wide. "The spaceship was attacked by those terrifying bugs, and then our people were parasitized by them. They came out shouting that it was a bug and then killed it..."
Mark hesitated for a moment before continuing somewhat reluctantly, "Well, things were a bit chaotic at the time, and we didn't know it was really a bug, so we beat you up. If your arm and face hurt now, sorry, it was our people who did it."
"Why should we apologize? That guy killed Joe and Steve right in front of us—"
Mark's friends seemed to have completely different ideas from him, even though they had experienced the same things.
Judging from the man's flushed face, if he weren't still receiving treatment from the medical device, he probably would have jumped up and punched Lin Xi a few more times.
"Don't do this, Mike, we clearly saw it..."
Mark was still trying to reassure his companion.
Lin Xi turned her head to look at the person who was shouting, but her gaze was somewhat blank.
Insects...attack...shield...
As the exploration team explained (and others cursed), Lin Xi's memories suddenly returned.
He quickly figured out his current situation.
The wounded from the insect attack must have made the medical room overflowing. Lin Xi could imagine how busy Bryce was, so he was placed in the temporary medical area with the other lightly wounded.
However, Bryce probably didn't expect that there were actually people in the exploration team who still didn't understand the current situation.
Without hesitation, Lin Xi ripped the old medical device off his body, then staggered to his feet, supporting himself on the bed, and swayed as he walked toward the door.
"Lin Xi? Where are you going? Dr. Bryce said he'll be here soon to give you further treatment..."
Mark's voice rang out from far behind him.
"When I'm not feeling well, I shouldn't be with idiots. It will only make my headache worse. If Bryce comes, I'll tell him I'm in my room."
Lin Xi said absentmindedly, then left without looking back.
He was much more alert than when he first woke up, but his mind was still a mess.
At this moment, Lin Xi just wanted to go back to a quiet place to think things through.
However, she struggled to return to her room despite feeling unwell.
