Qin Zhao sneered: "In our empire, there are many idioms that I think are particularly suitable for describing your current situation: a dog fallen into a pit, a boat capsized in a ditch, a lone goose separated from its flock, oh, and there is another one, a phoenix that has lost its feathers is no better than a chicken."
I don't know if the translator can translate idioms, but judging from the alien's expression, it probably can't.
But the last sentence was so explicit that even after translation, the alien understood it and immediately roared, "You're asking for death!"
Seeing that he was about to make a move, Chi Xia stepped forward again, blocking Qin Zhao and Shao Xuelian behind her.
She looked at the alien and said, "I advise you not to push your luck. We acknowledge your strength, and we know that we are not as strong as you now, which is why we have this exchange today. To be honest, we had already made the worst-case scenario plan before we came here."
"If you do not want a lose-lose situation to occur, I hope you will keep your promise and complete this exchange."
The leading alien sneered upon hearing this: "Are you threatening me?"
“This is not a threat.” Chi Xia looked at him coldly. “It’s stating the facts. If I can’t get these hostages to leave, I’d rather die with them! You’ve come all the way to Blue Star, you don’t want to leave empty-handed, do you?”
Upon hearing this, the alien's face darkened with anger. Just as he was about to speak, another alien approached him and said something.
After hearing his words, the alien leader's expression softened, and he looked at Chi Xia with an ambiguous look, saying, "Alright, we'll do the exchange as you said. I'll let them go."
Looking at his expression, Chi Xia had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but for now she could only take it one step at a time.
She quickly said to the hostages, "Those who are willing to come with us, please board the ship immediately. Our ship will depart soon. This is a one-time opportunity, so please seize it."
Upon hearing this, and seeing that Qiu Xuelian had safely gone to Chi Xia's side, some of the hostages mustered their courage and took a few steps toward Chi Xia.
Seeing that the aliens didn't react, the group immediately ran towards Chi Xia.
At first there were only a few people, but then there were dozens or even hundreds, and all the hostages were moved!
They ran towards Chi Xia with all their might, covering a distance of several hundred meters.
The aliens, their previous annoyance gone, watched with amusement as the hostages ran toward the ship.
The hostages were so agitated that they rushed onto the ship in a frenzy, fearing they would be left behind if they were too slow. As a result, they were unable to board the ship, and many were pushed into the sea.
Upon seeing this scene, the aliens all revealed contemptuous smiles.
Qin Zhao had no choice but to work with the crew to maintain order, leaving Chi Xia alone to confront the aliens.
Standing next to Chi Xia, Shao Xuelian remained motionless. She looked at Chi Xia and whispered, "Is Han Junche really the current president of the empire?"
Chi Xia turned to look at her and nodded: "Yes, Auntie, Ah... Han Junche and Uncle Han are waiting for you to come back."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Xuelian's face showed a hint of excitement. She looked up at Chi Xia and said, "Then... what about you? I think I heard you say something about an exchange? Are you exchanging us?"
Seeing the worry in her eyes, Chi Xia smiled slightly and comforted her, "It's okay, Auntie. Just get on the boat, I'll be fine."
Shao Xuelian understood.
This young woman in front of them saved them all with her own life.
As for her saying she was fine, she was just trying to comfort them.
