"Senior," she called out sweetly.
Her gaze was like that of a newborn animal, innocent and pure, as if all her love had been directed toward Kerry.
Her heart was filled with joy and happiness.
Since Alice doesn't like Kerry, does that mean she can have this boy?
He was so outstanding, shining brightly in the academy, always the focus of everyone's attention, while she could only hide behind Alice, silently watching him.
The black-haired boy was still caught up in his emotions and didn't hear the small voice.
"What's wrong with her?" Lori frowned when she saw the black-haired girl standing timidly next to the boy. She asked Shen Wangshu, "Isn't she with you?" Knowing the relationship between her companion and the boy, wasn't it too much for her to show such an adoring expression?
"Never mind." Shen Wangshu didn't care about that anymore. She pulled Luo Li to the window and looked out. In the colorful sea of stars, there were countless beautiful scenes, but most of them were shrouded in darkness.
She strained her gaze into the darkness of the starry sea, but could see nothing. Frowning, she shook her head and said, "There's nothing to see."
"A concentration camp for cute ghosts." Although the warships were enormous, they were incredibly easy to hide in the dark. The only suitable tool for detecting these interstellar warships was their scanning system, but she couldn't very well have someone suddenly activate the scanning system and say that enemies had appeared.
“There are quite a few meteorites on this road. Should we turn on the scanning system to detect them?” Shen Wangshu suddenly asked.
"The flight paths are all set by the computer; they'll avoid those meteorites." As a mecha student, Lori couldn't see anything poetic or picturesque outside.
She still prefers fighting.
Shen Wangshu's lips curled up slightly for a moment.
“Something’s not right.” She was pointing to a small asteroid belt outside with Lori when she saw the academy’s instructor walking quickly towards them. The tall, middle-aged instructor had a serious expression on his face, a hideous scar on his face twitching slightly. He said gravely, “The signal isn’t going through. There’s a problem.”
He still reeked of gunpowder, and Shen Wangshu knew at a glance that he was a soldier who had just come from the battlefield. Clearly, he had a keen intuition about this anomaly and had already ordered the navigator beside him to activate the optical scan.
He pushed aside Shen Wangshu and Luo Li, his eyes fixed intently on the view outside the window.
Outside the window, it was dark and silent, with only the starlight shining, but his face slowly contorted.
He took a step back and closed his eyes.
"What's wrong, teacher?" Luo Li noticed his strange expression and quickly came over to ask.
“We’ve got people watching us,” the tall, middle-aged man, who could scare children to tears, said in a deep voice.
He took a deep breath and looked at the students who had curiously gathered around him. Looking at their innocent and bewildered faces, he suddenly found himself speechless.
These children are the hope of the Federation, children who may become the backbone of the fighting force in the future. If they really perish here, he cannot forgive himself. What's more, deep down he still has a sliver of hope that he is just being overly sensitive, and that his suspicions are not coming true. Therefore, he got up and walked to the control panel at the front, looking at the huge screen above his head.
Waves of light flickered on the screen, and then several bright spots appeared on the screen.
They were lying in ambush ahead, not far from the warships, clearly intending to catch them off guard.
"Thank goodness," the middle-aged man said in a low voice.
Fortunately, the Field family's little girl suddenly sent a signal to let him know that something was wrong, otherwise, if they had waited any longer and had been surrounded, they might have been wiped out.
But even now, there's no way to escape, it's no different from total annihilation.
Although warships are fast, they cannot outrun a well-organized fleet.
The middle-aged man felt a bitter taste in his mouth as he scanned the students around him one by one.
These children were not only the academy's most outstanding students, but most of them had already been reserved by the military and would be trained there after graduation. Several even came from prestigious families: Field, Roland, Karls… each one a shining example of their lineage, with incredibly bright futures ahead. If they were to die here, it would not only be a tremendous loss to the Federation, but their families would certainly not let it go unpunished.
So at this moment, his voice was a little dry.
The Evolution of Imperial Civilization.
"Are these points of light indicating that there are more warships ahead?" Shen Wangshu's voice suddenly softened.
She was originally the most gentle and innocent girl, but she was extremely perceptive. The middle-aged man was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.
He knew he couldn't hide this, so he loudly called all the students to come to him, struggled to speak, and coldly pointed to the light spot on it, saying, "We have been ambushed by the enemy. We can't send out signals. The number of enemy ships far exceeds ours. The space jump system is locked and we can't travel through it."
Before he could finish speaking, he heard the students' quiet screams and commotion. Seeing their faces turn to fear and shock, he steeled himself and continued, "Our only advantage is that our warships are far superior to their fleet, but they outnumber us too much, and we cannot escape unscathed."
His expression was serious, clearly indicating that this was not a drill but something real.
The threat of death loomed over everyone.
Because this is a sea of stars, where can you escape to? Once exposed to the starry sky, you will immediately be suffocated by the vacuum.
But if we don't escape the warship, are we supposed to perish with it?
