Chapter 168 Interstellar Orphan (27)
Drop—Bang—
The rusty door closed.
Although Duan is the helmsman of the underground city, his living environment is extremely simple.
A small hall for office and meeting, plus a bathroom and bedroom, this compact suite fully reflects the resource constraints of the dungeon.
"Qiuqiu, I haven't heard from you in over a decade. I never thought you'd come back. When the patrol reported detecting a warship landing, everyone thought it was an alien invader and was in a cold sweat."
Duen brought some dry food and drinking water for his sister and placed them on the table.
"Seeing you're healthy, I'm relieved. Have you been with the Space Peacekeeping Force for the past decade or so? Are you doing well?"
When the little girl Qiuqiu heard her brother's greetings and recalled her experiences at the space peacekeeping force base over the years, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Du En was in a panic for a while: "Ah, Qiuqiu, what's wrong with you?! If you have something to say, take your time and don't be anxious!"
"Brother! Even though life hasn't been great... wuwuwu...but being able to come back here makes me feel like it's all worth it, wuwu..."
Qiuqiu choked and was about to lean her head on Duen's shoulder.
She wanted her brother's comfort.
If he could touch her head or pat her shoulder, she would feel much better.
But Dunn's eyes flickered and he subconsciously avoided it.
He turned around, took a few tissues and handed them to her to wipe her tears, in order to avoid Qiuqiu's approach.
The acting is a bit poor.
This is what Tokiho cares about.
It’s not that Du En, as a brother, doesn’t care about Qiu Qiu enough - he said everything he needed to say, and his attitude and tone were also very good.
But from the moment they met, Shisui felt that Duen had a distinct sense of alienation.
He showed less emotional fluctuation and did not have the usual excitement of a sibling reunion.
In a nutshell, it's too formal.
While crying, Qiuqiu told her story incoherently about the inhumane experience she had in the base and the horrific experience of how she desperately escaped from there.
She was very emotional, so her words were illogical and she didn't get to the point.
Duan was completely confused by what he heard, but he finally figured out one fact - it turned out that the space peacekeeping force actually regarded war refugees as usable experimental resources!
He expressed strong anger.
"If they hadn't forcibly detonated the reactor back then, we wouldn't have to hide here today. I was originally glad that I made the right choice and allowed you to live like a normal person... I didn't expect it..."
Shisui wanted to find an opportunity to find out how this group of people managed to escape the explosion.
Unfortunately, Qiuqiu was constantly venting her long-pent-up emotions. Shisui tried to find a way in to interrupt her several times, but was blocked by her sobbing.
Forget it, if a girl wants to cry, let her cry as much as she wants.
Who can resist a girl's tears?
In the end, Du En comforted his sister: "Okay, go and have a good rest first. We'll talk about the future later."
…
Dunn arranged a separate single room for his sister.
It is still a rough refugee style design.
There is definitely no high-end stuff like sleeping cabins, only a hard bed that emits a bad smell.
But fortunately, the heating equipment in the safe zone worked fine, and Qiuqiu fell asleep immediately.
"call--"
Tokiho forcibly regained control of her body.
The brother and sister who had been separated for more than ten years have been reunited. Qiuqiu's original obsession has been realized, and Shisui could have retired.
But Dunn's slightly strange attitude, the mystery of Dr. Allen's identity, and the final fate of the 875 experimental subjects in the base... so many mysteries made her decide to stay and observe for a while.
Tokiho jumped up from the bed and tiptoed out of the room.
The dungeon is not like the base of the space peacekeeping force, and does not have so many surveillance and security facilities.
As Shisui saw, the residents got along with each other equally and harmoniously.
It didn't take much effort for her to find a place that looked like a meeting room.
Shisui hid outside the door and eavesdropped, only to see a dozen people inside having a heated discussion.
Duan was surrounded in the center.
Several people pressed him, "City Lord, I still think this is too dangerous. Someone wearing space peacekeeping gear just walked in. We just want to know, is that girl really your sister?"
Du En was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "Strictly speaking... not really."
