It hurts, it hurts like hell.
My whole body felt like it was falling apart.
My mental energy is completely depleted, and my brain feels like it's about to explode.
Xia Shizhao weakly opened his eyes, slowly sat up and looked around.
It's not Qinlu's family.
Where is this place?
Click—
Ye Qiuling pushed open the door and entered, carrying a bowl of porridge.
He was startled to see Xia Shizhao was awake, and walked towards her.
Xia Shizhao's heart suddenly clenched, and he remembered that his limbs were weak and he couldn't help Yu Qinlu escape, which led to her death as she shielded him from an attack.
He was consumed by rage and lost his temper for a moment.
She slapped away the bowl of lean meat porridge that was being offered to her mouth and screamed uncontrollably, "Why wasn't it you who died! Why wasn't it you!"
…………
The air was deathly silent.
Ye Qiuling's face turned deathly pale, and the words stuck in her throat like a knife cutting into it, leaving her unable to utter a sound.
He could only stand there, stunned, staring at her.
Seeing Ye Qiuling at a loss, Xia Shizhao covered his head and broke down in tears.
It's not anyone else's fault, it's all her own. She was too weak. Why would she blame someone who has no memory? She didn't even know she had any aftereffects, and besides, she saved everyone on this planet...
The root cause is simply that they are too weak and want to shirk responsibility.
Despair enveloped her. Thinking of the grandmothers, aunts, uncles, and grandfathers in the village who had been massacred, Xia Shizhao felt a heartache so intense she could hardly breathe.
She started sobbing.
Her limbs started to feel cold again. She tried hard to calm herself down so that her illness wouldn't worsen, but she could only suppress her grief.
But it failed.
Her fingernails dug into her palms, leaving bright red marks, and Ye Qiuling lifted her chin to pour medicine into her.
The feeling of coldness and stiffness in the body gradually decreased.
Xia Shizhao's mood had improved considerably. He sat on the bed with his lips pursed and his head down. Red blood seeped through the bandage around his waist, and Ye Qiuling picked up some medicine powder and re-bandaged it.
Ye Qiuling also applied medicine to her palms.
The two remained silent during this time.
In the end, Ye Qiuling didn't say anything, picked up the broken pieces from the ground, and walked out the door.
Xia Shizhao leaned against the wall, his eyes vacant.
They're all dead.
Yunyuan, Linzhi, He Jing.
The three children were bitten to pieces.
They couldn't possibly piece together a complete corpse.
She jumped out of bed and opened the door.
The guards at the door were stunned. They watched her stumble and run out, but none of them thought of chasing after her.
They realized what was happening and started shouting:
"Miss Xia, don't run around! The battlefield is still being cleaned up outside!"
Xia Shizhao stole a car and drove it towards the village without a second thought.
The road was devastated.
Ye Qiuling's subordinates immediately reported to her.
Ye Qiuling rubbed her forehead helplessly and waved her hand, "Go and protect her. You don't need to worry about anything else."
After driving for almost two hours, Xia Shizhao finally arrived at the village and pursed his lips as he watched the interstellar army dealing with the village.
With his head slightly lowered, looking at the filthy blood of the insectoid race scattered on the ground, the hatred in his heart grew even stronger.
She wants to kill all the Zerg.
Avenge them.
"It's pitiful that this village was completely wiped out by the Zerg."
"I heard that a military academy student also failed here. It's a pity, he was so young."
"How can it not be a pity? Many soldiers died this time..."
"Damn Zerg!"
"Next time, we'll fight them to the death!"
After a moment of silence, they started chatting again, albeit casually.
"But why are all the Zerg here cut into pieces? There's foul-smelling juice everywhere."
"I don't know, it seems like a general has arrived here."
"It's hard to collect the list of victims in this village; it feels like they've all died."
Xia Shizhao said in a hoarse voice, "I know, I'm from this village too."
The people chatting were startled. When they saw Xia Shizhao's pale face, they quickly brought out a few chairs from the room for her to sit and rest.
Their eyes were filled with pity.
Xia Shizhao felt increasingly distressed.
But he didn't say anything, he just silently wrote down the list and handed it to the person in charge here.
The person in charge took the list, looked at the densely packed words, glanced at Xia Shizhao, and hesitated to speak.
There's no one else who can comfort you about this; you have to deal with it all on your own.
"Where is the body of that military academy student you mentioned?"
"He was taken away by General Ye and his remains were cleaned up along with those of the other martyrs."
Xia Shizhao nodded, stood up and sat in the car, hesitated for a moment, and then drove back.
This time, after Ye Qiuling resolved the invasion, she was able to come back and rescue her, which strengthened Xia Shizhao's resolve to become stronger.
She really didn't want to encounter this helpless situation again.
She drove east and west, shaking off the tail behind her, stopped the car, breathed a sigh of relief, and turned back to the village.
I got off the bus and ran towards the back of the mountain.
As she passed a small path, she saw something golden on the ground.
It's about the size of a fist.
It feels soft to the touch.
Something was moving inside, and she took a step back in shock.
Insect eggs; looking up, the hillside behind us is covered in them.
Are queen beetles being produced here?
Looking around warily, Xia Shizhao swallowed hard, picked up his gun, and shot down all the insect eggs.
All the insect eggs were collected together and burned.
Dizziness.
Xia Shizhao walked directly to his house. The Zerg hadn't damaged it, probably because they realized no one was there.
The house was unlocked by fingerprint.
I thought it would be dusty when I came back in six months, but it was spotless.
There was a note on my desk.
"Sister Shizhao, Jingjing and I have cleaned your room! Get some rest~"
Xia Shizhao felt a lump in his throat and was about to cry again.
Xiaoyuan's handwriting.
He covered his mouth, squatted on the ground, and shrugged his shoulders.
If she hadn't messaged Qinlu, would Xiaoyuan and the others have had a chance of survival?
…………
Squatting on the ground, tears streaming down his face, Xia Shizhao carefully put away the note, stood up, and opened the refrigerator.
The place was packed full of things.
The long-neglected quantum computer buzzed in the pocket.
Xia Shizhao was a little tired and didn't know how to talk to them.
He collapsed onto the sofa, and the computer activated holographic mode.
On the floating screen in front of her, her family and friends were all looking at her with concern.
Xia Shizhao forced a smile, but couldn't manage it, so he lay expressionless on the sofa without saying a word.
Others may feel sorry for you, but there's nothing they can do.
The entire planet Jupiter Union is currently under lockdown, with only medicine and food allowed to be delivered.
Outsiders are not allowed to go.
They could only worry from afar.
"I'm fine. I'll reply to your messages after I've rested. Sorry."
Very calmly, without a sob in his voice, Xia Shizhao turned off the holographic screen after speaking.
Ge Shiyi and Gu Ke on the other side of the holographic screen already knew about Yu Qinlu's death in battle, and the atmosphere was gloomy.
Especially Chi Xin and Liu Ruxuan, when they chose the mecha department, they actually knew that they would die on the battlefield one day, but they did not expect it to happen so suddenly.
Seeing her so upset made them feel bad too.
Grandma Shu had no choice but to call General Ye, hoping she could take care of Xia Shizhao.
They had no contact before, but on the first day Xia Shizhao disappeared, Ye Qiuling took the initiative to come to his door.
Upon receiving the message, Ye Qiuling's eyes darkened, but she still replied to them, saying that she would be careful.
He grabbed his coat and went out the door.
"Hey, hey, hey! You need to rest."
"The treatment chamber has almost cured him."
"I'm talking about your brain! Wait for that new SS-class omega to calm your restless mind!"
"They can't appease them."
Ye Qiuling's expression was aloof, and she decisively declined Fu Ziran's invitation.
After quickly giving instructions on the follow-up work, he hurriedly left.
