Wu Wei's avatar raised his hand, triggering a frenzy of beasts that surged forth.
A vast, dark mass filled the field of vision.
With a "whoosh," Zheng Ya activated the spaceship's protective shield, which was met with Zheng Wang's complaint: "Dad, activating the spaceship for a time-space escape is the most important thing!"
There are too many flying monsters over there, run! No, let me handle this…
"Shut up, you brat! You're so scared over something. What will you be good for in the future?" Xu Qi slapped away her hand that was reaching out to control the spaceship.
Before Zheng Wang could react to being beaten, Fu Qingyao reached out and pulled her aside to admonish her: "Girl, if you're upset and scared, Grandma understands."
But you must remember one thing: whether you are facing a crisis with your family or your teammates, the primary task is not to panic.
Sharing life and death, advancing and retreating together, is the top priority.
Because it's precisely at times like these that we need to remain calm. After all, we don't know what kind of strategy our opponent has prepared for us, so at this point, we can only improvise and react to each move as it comes!
"Waaah, Grandma, we could have used time travel to escape!" Zheng Wang said unwillingly, not believing he had done anything wrong.
The swarm attack launched by the mechanical beasts with a "rumble" sound exploded on the spaceship's protective shield, sending sparks flying everywhere.
The entire interstellar spaceship trembled, swaying like a cradle.
Zheng Wang was so frightened that he shrank into Fu Qingyao's arms and trembled. Fu Qingyao comforted him, "Girl, your idea is not wrong!"
Your dad can pilot a spaceship and travel through time and space; he could easily take our whole family away.
But have you ever thought about what kind of person your father has become?
"What's the big deal? It's just desertion in the face of battle."
What era are we living in? We no longer have that "fight to the death" mentality. We're all about selfless dedication and protecting the lives and property of the nation and its people, even at the cost of our lives.
Besides, this place is the dead end, and no lives or property have been damaged. We can escape and find a chance to fight back. We can get up from where we fell down. What's wrong with that? Zheng Wang thought the older generation was just stubborn and inflexible.
Fu Qingyao shook her head and chuckled: "That's just wishful thinking on your part, a naive idea."
You must remember that you must have principles and a bottom line.
A bottom line is the person and things that a person protects, and they may dedicate their entire life to protecting that bottom line without any regrets!
The well-being of our family is your father's bottom line.
Furthermore, principles and regulations aimed at pursuing ideals and careers may involve more legal disputes and conflicts arising from differing stances.
Only by persevering and carrying out the plan can its value be realized.
In other words, realizing one's own value in life is essential; otherwise, one is just a lowly person who lives a life of idleness and waiting to die.
Do you want to be that kind of person?
"But, but Dad clearly put our family in a desperate situation, a place of death!" Zheng Wang suddenly realized how wrong he was.
Even after experiencing a battle with semi-technological insects, he didn't defeat himself; he was only defeated by a group of insects.
Fu Qingyao laughed: "Silly girl, you underestimate your dad!"
He won't do things he's not sure about, and besides, if what he wants to do goes beyond the well-being of our family, he'll take the risk and try it.
Because only in this way can our family escape danger and live a better life, so there are some things that must be done, things that cannot be avoided..."
"Heh heh, Zheng Ya, why are you acting like a coward, hiding in the spaceship without making a move or uttering a sound, just waiting to die?" Wu Wei's stand-in was floating in space 100,000 meters away, making a video call via the network.
Zheng Ya presented her with a hypothetical scenario: "You learned it from me, but your real self would probably hide away until death and never dare to show his face to anyone, right?"
"You're so sharp-tongued, I really don't know why you don't run away?" Wu Wei's double didn't argue with him, and no one knew where the real Wu Wei was.
Performing tasks is the clone's responsibility.
Zheng Ya said disdainfully, "If you want me to escape so badly, you're probably laying a net across this starry sky, waiting for me to crawl in and never come out, right?"
You're overthinking it.
"These 30,000 mechanical beasts in front of you are enough to deal with you. They can wear you down. Why waste energy and resources by setting up nets to catch fish for you?" Wu Wei's stand-in retorted uncertainly.
The moves you don't use are your trump cards.
Zheng Ya successfully extracted information: "You established a base here before you went to Earth, planting a pawn in the process..."
"You're smart, but you're also stupid."
"You guessed all this too late. You're doomed now that you've come to my starry sky." Wu Wei's double watched the mechanical beasts gather fire to attack the spaceship, and felt inexplicably excited as the sparks from the explosions rose.
Zheng Ya suddenly quickened his pace, asking, "What was your purpose in murdering me?"
"I didn't kill you, what does it have to do with me if the mechanical beast did?"
"I just feel sorry for you. Why did you block the path of the family's power? You ruined your future at such a young age. What a pity!" Wu Wei's double subconsciously revealed some information.
I felt that since the Zheng family was going to die anyway, letting them die knowing why would be a way for me to repay their kindness in raising me.
Zheng Ya said thoughtfully, "Are you exploiting loopholes, disregarding human life, and paving the way for your so-called powerful families?"
"Guess, guess away! Beauty comes from regret. Your family deserves it. You're welcome." Wu Wei's double shouted ecstatically, as if celebrating an impending victory.
Zheng Ya chuckled, "Aren't you afraid you're laughing too soon?"
"Heh heh, no way, no way, you don't think I'll believe your nonsense just because you said that, giving you a chance to fight back and turn the tide, do you?" Wu Wei's double arrogantly mocked, waving his hand repeatedly to give orders, causing the mechanical beasts to launch their fiercest attack.
The cluster of explosions ignited the space.
"That's impressive," Zheng Ya said calmly. "A machine is just a machine, even worse than an animal. It drinks oil more than it eats. Thumbs down."
"Damn it, don't think that I'll take pity on you and let you go just because you humiliated me like this. Blame yourself for not running away beforehand."
Instead of fleeing, you chose to uphold your so-called dignity. Coupled with your desire to uncover my secrets, your entire family was doomed. Do you regret it?
"Then die in regret, a terrible death, hehehe!" Wu Wei's double was furious, feeling ashamed and humiliated. He was looked down upon by the real person and by outsiders, and he went crazy with rage.
The tragedy of being a tool or a stand-in cannot be greater than this.
Zheng Ya seized on her weakness: "You're wrong again. I have to say, you're a half-human, half-machine creation, your IQ is really lacking, isn't it?"
"Damn it, attack, attack, attack with all your might, blow him to bits..." Wu Wei's double frantically ordered the mechanical beast horde to attack.
A new wave of attacks erupted, shattering the space around them.
The shockwaves inside the interstellar spaceship were like a lone boat adrift in the stormy sea, swaying violently back and forth and side to side.
Zheng Wang cried out in alarm, "Ah, I don't want to die! The spaceship is about to be breached by monsters..."
"Girl, calm down. Why are you just like that half-human, half-ghost thing outside? You make rash decisions whenever something happens. Are you really sure the spaceship is going to be breached by them?" Fu Qingyao was completely relieved at this point.
Zheng Wang said in surprise, "Isn't this obvious?"
The spaceship is about to capsize from the explosion, how much longer can the shield withstand it? We're all going to die, boohoo!
"Cry, cry, it's not a sin. You'll learn from this experience, you'll cherish the most precious moments, you'll stop being foolish, you won't misunderstand your family, you won't kneel down in the face of difficulties, and you'll make the right choices in life. This is the tax you have to pay on your path to growth." Fu Qingyao generously started teaching with a catchy rhyme?
Zheng Xing finally calmed his fear: "Grandma, what did you see?"
"Haha, didn't you see your dad remained calm and composed throughout, still trying to get information out of people?" Fu Qingyao reminded the siblings to pay attention to details.
