Chapter 117 Chapter 117

Sally and Jason boarded the shuttle and returned to the space station.

Rong Heng and his party did not follow immediately. They waited for Ruan Shiqing to send a message confirming that they had returned to the space station before they drove their fighter jets to join the main force and returned to the space station in the name of rest.

Inside the space station, Ruan Shiqing welcomed back Sally and the seriously injured Jason. Jason didn't need to fake his injury, as Sally had hit him hard with Ao Zu when she was furious, so the injury was already there.

Sally helped Jason, who had lost too much blood, down from the shuttle. His face was pale and gray, and he looked devastated and lost.

Ruan Shiqing continued to pretend to be a snake, sighed in a pretentious manner, and was considerate enough not to ask any further questions. He helped Jason back to the room. After settling him down, he naturally wanted to ask what happened. Sally described the situation after she got to the ground with a depressed look on her face, saying that she did not find any survivors and encountered a lone Zerg.

"I thought I could help by staying." Sally did enough preparation and finally revealed her true purpose.

Ruan Shiqing immediately realized that she had achieved her goal and was about to find an excuse to leave, so she continued her words: "You have helped us a lot by staying here. The main force is about to arrive, and Jason is injured. You can leave with the rescue boat first."

Sally was waiting for him to say this, and after pretending to refuse for a while, she finally gave in because Jason was seriously injured and needed treatment.

That night, Rong Heng led his troops back to the space station and suspended the bombing of the ground hive.

Jason was injured and was recuperating in his room, and Sally was responsible for taking care of him. Rong Heng went to see him, and after a false sympathy, he returned to his room and discussed with Ruan Shiqing how to play the long game and catch the big fish.

Now, of course, we can catch them, but we have no idea what their next plan will be.

The two insects went to great lengths to retrieve the eggs, but Rong Heng did not think they did so just to protect their offspring. The social structure of the insect tribe was pyramid-shaped, with strict and clear hierarchies, so the ten eggs must be very important.

"The Empire's rescue troops will arrive tomorrow, and it will be time for us to leave," said Ruan Shiqing.

They had originally only intended to take over temporarily before the Imperial Army arrived. After all, Driftwood was a planet belonging to the Empire, and all subsequent matters would need to be handled by the Imperial Government. In addition, several of them were on wanted orders, which was simply not appropriate for them to show up in front of the Imperial Army.

"Then let's leave after the handover tomorrow." Rong Heng said, "The underground situation has been explored clearly. There is indeed a large shelter built underground in the remote northwest of Driftwood Star, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people."

As long as there are survivors, Driftwood is not considered destroyed.

This ending is easier to accept than the complete destruction of the planet Driftwood.

After the discussion, everyone went to rest.

The Empire's rescue team arrived at noon the next day. This time, Rong Heng, Hector, Meleer and others did not show up, and only Ruan Shiqing and the cubs came forward to contact the army.

Ruan Shiqing was originally worried that the imperial army would be difficult to deal with, but who knew that in addition to the rescue troops, Galan also came back.

The rescue army's leader got to know Garland, and many things became easier. After Ruan Shiqing explained the current situation of Driftwood and the underground shelter in detail, he prepared to retire.

This commander was very good at assessing the situation. Even though he was puzzled by the extra troops on Floating Wood, he did not ask any further questions. After both parties completed the handover, Ruan Shiqing took the cubs on board his own spaceship.

Garland walked beside him and started to make small talk: "Shall we go directly back to B3024?"

He had just returned from escorting a passenger spaceship and was not aware of the situation at the space station.

Ruan Shiqing wanted to explain the situation to him, but when he looked up, he saw Hector standing at the door with his arms folded, staring at Garland. He shut up and didn't do anything annoying. He smiled and said, "Hector also knows the follow-up plan. You can ask him."

After saying this, he waved to the kids and told them to hurry up and follow so as not to get in trouble.

The little dragon left reluctantly, looking back eagerly. He felt that the scene of the two fathers reuniting after a long separation looked a little strange. He remembered that when he was still in the egg, these two people always fought over the slightest disagreement. So he was very worried and felt that it was time for him to contribute to the harmony of the family.

Unfortunately, Ruan Shiqing did not give him this opportunity and took the man away.

"Let's go for a walk in the rest area?" Garland felt a little nervous when Hector stared at him.

He and Hector had known each other since they were young, and both of them had bad tempers. They would quarrel and even fight over a disagreement. But it was rare for them to remain silent like they were now.

Especially when you meet again after experiencing separation and death.

Guilt, nausea, and joy all surged up at the same time, making Garland feel complicated. He didn't know how to face him, and when he spoke again, his voice lost its confidence.

Hector took a step forward, his eyes were not concealed, and there was even a hint of gnashing teeth: "Not hiding anymore?"

After learning about Garland, he rushed over from Balem without stopping, but came back empty-handed. Ruan Shiqing said that Garland escorted the passenger ship away, but he knew Garland very well. How could he be so enthusiastic? He was clearly avoiding him!

I couldn't sleep well during those days on Floating Wood. If I couldn't leave, I would have chased after him and brought him back myself to revive my relationship with him!

Garland looked at him for a moment. The familiar expression made him regain the feeling of being together in the past. He was less uneasy and his lost confidence naturally returned.

He looked at Hector steadily and laughed: "Forget it, there's nothing to say. Where is your room? I want to take a shower first."

Originally he wanted to have a good talk with Hector, but after meeting him, he felt that there was nothing to talk about. He and Hector had known each other since they were young and knew each other too well.

If you have the leisure to talk nonsense, you might as well have a go.

There is nothing that can't be solved by one shot, and if that doesn't work, then use two shots.

Hector's gnashing expression paused, he cleared his throat, took his hand and strode forward, looking a little impatient, but he said coldly: "You have been hiding from me for so long, I will not let you go."

Garland licked his lips and said, "I'll be happy to accompany you."

The little dragon sneaked over to observe the situation and his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He thought, it's over, there won't be another fight!

Garland followed Hector back to the room.

The little dragon followed stealthily behind, ready to find someone to stop the fight if it started.

He stood at the door of Hector's room, wagging his tail nervously, with his ears perked up, listening to what was going on inside.

The room was very quiet at first, but after a while, there were ping-pong noises and occasional sounds of things falling to the ground. Later on, the noises became louder and there were occasional muffled sobs.

The little dragon's eyes widened and he was extremely shocked!

Hector not only fought with Garland's father, but also made Garland's father cry!

That’s too much!!!

In the cubs' stereotype, Hector is a rough-skinned and thick-fleshed black dragon, but Garland's father is very gentle, and he definitely cannot beat the rude Hector!

The angry cub left without thinking and started knocking on the door loudly.

While knocking on the door, he shouted: "Hector, you are not allowed to bully Father Garland!!"

The two men who had fought for several rounds in the room looked at each other. Hector's face turned livid, and he felt that this kid was becoming less and less lovable: "Ignore him!"

Garland was not as shameless as him and kicked him: "Go and have a look."

Hector had to leave, put on his clothes in a hurry, and opened the door with a livid face.

The little dragon cub who was banging on the door missed and rolled to his feet. This appearance was too unimpressive. The little dragon cub immediately got up, patted the ground with his tail, and after loudly accusing and questioning Hector, he went into the house to find his father Garland.

But there was no way Hector would let him in. The room was a mess and it was not something a kid should see.

So he picked up the kid by the scruff of his neck with one hand and sent him to Rong Heng: "Keep an eye on your son!"

Rong Heng, who was about to get angry, couldn't help but feel secretly happy when he heard his name. But his eyes swept across his inadvertently exposed chest and snorted coldly.

He was a little sour and started to say something sarcastic: "Although the dragon race is generally known to be unrefined, you should still pay attention to the situation and not teach the cub badly."

Hector was so excited that he wanted to go back and continue his work. He didn't have time to chat with him. Seeing him eating a lemon, he remembered the gossip he heard from Mellaire. He glanced at him and said, "Then His Royal Highness should stay away from him. Don't learn bad things."

This is a blatant sarcasm towards Rong Heng, saying that he is just like a cub!

How dare you mock him for being a virgin!

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's face was dark, very unhappy!

The little dragon boy was so confused that he rolled over in Rong Heng's arms and said anxiously, "They must have gone back to fight again!"

The Crown Prince had a blank expression on his face, thinking to himself that he wanted to fight too.

But it can't.

The prince was in a very bad mood because no one was fighting. After waiting patiently for ten minutes, he let the anxious little dragon go. This time, the little dragon really learned his lesson and knew that it was not enough to persuade the fight alone, so he called Ruan Shiqing and other little dragons to persuade them together.

When Hector opened the door again, his face was not only blue, but also black.

But the kid can't be beaten or scolded, and he has to be coaxed.

Instead, Ruan Shiqing saw the messy house behind him and vaguely understood something, so he quickly coaxed the kids away.

But no matter how passionate they were, they lost interest after being interrupted twice in succession.

Garland walked out of the room in neat clothes. The two talked about something, and Hector's face looked as red as the bottom of a pot.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the other side looked at it from a distance and snorted coldly.

You dare to mock him, leaving you with no chance to fight.
