Chapter 38 A Close Call



"Sis, when you go to Star Alliance, remember to take lots of pictures and send them to us! We want to see if the Star Alliance Military Base is really as spectacular as it's made out to be!"

"Of course, no problem! I'll video chat with you guys when I get there later."

"Have a safe journey!"

Okay, bye-bye.

Xia Shizhao appeared behind Yu Luqin, holding Youyou's hand, watching them bid a reluctant farewell.

After giving her grandmother and sister a hug, Yu Luqin immediately ran towards Xia Shizhao with a bright smile on her face: "Zhao, let's go."

The younger sister shouted through a megaphone, "Sister Zhao Zhao! Remember to video call me! Remember to miss me!"

Seemingly not satisfied, it took off running towards her again, at the same time appearing around it two other children, panting heavily, shouting, "Don't forget us! Think of us too!"

"Slow down, don't fall."

Xia Shizhao chuckled and shook her head, then squatted down to hug the children who were running towards her and wiped their sweat.

"I've made the flower cakes for you. They're with Grandma Yu. Remember to ask her for some, or Xiaoyun will sneak a few more later!"

"I won't!"

"You can! You stole one of mine last time!"

"Me too!"

Holding the three little ones in her arms, Xia Shizhao kissed each of them. Looking at the three little ones with their faces flushed and mouths shut in embarrassment, she smiled with satisfaction: "Hahahaha, alright, alright, stop making noise. When you want to eat, just tell your sister, and I'll make it for you at the military academy and send it back to you."

"Yay! Sister Zhaozhao, we love you!"

"Then my sister is gone."

Okay~ Remember to call us!

"no problem."

The little boy squatted on the ground and waved to Youyou, "Goodbye, Youyou!"

She twirled around a bit, then slowly walked behind the two of them.

"Will Youyou sit in the pet pod?"

"Yes, otherwise we can't bring it over."

"Isn't it the same to keep it at my house?"

"Haha, no, it's my family, I feel more at ease having it with me."

"Then how will you raise your child at school?"

"The teacher who contacted me said they would help me resolve this."

"Huh? A teacher contacted you? What do they want?"

I won't tell you~

Xia Shizhao smiled mysteriously.

"Hmph, I'll find out sooner or later."

"We'll talk about that later."

"You've gone too far."

The black airship resembled a black panther soaring through the clouds.

Looking out the window, Xia Shizhao gazed at the vast Milky Way, his eyes filled with amazement and wonder.

What a breathtaking view!

She actually saw the Milky Way.

Human beings are so great.

Ding-dong.

The message was transmitted from the optical computer.

Xia Shizhao replied to the message about the shop closing on Mulian Star, then looked at the long-dormant shop, paused slightly, clicked on it, and selected a few replies.

Six years have passed, and she never expected that someone would still be waiting for her at the shop she used to frequent.

I can go back and make some extra money.

Xia Shizhao squinted his eyes happily.

The people of Mulian Star don't have a high demand for potions, and they all have fixed sales channels. Xia Shizhao's shop didn't make much money, and she discovered that her account hadn't been canceled. She didn't dare use her old cards for fear of being discovered, so she was using the inheritance left by her parents.

Youyou agreed to stay, but the controller wouldn't allow it. Xia Shizhao made many concessions before the controller finally relented, so the money he promised her was gone.

My current goal is to work hard to earn money to buy materials for Youyou, and then make a body for her so she can try eating whatever she wants.

Moreover, once she got to Star Alliance, her card was usable. She searched and found that all the information about Xia Shizhao from the Xia family had disappeared, and there was no information about the Xia family at all. In other words, Xia Shizhao from the Xia family had been erased. Although she didn't know why the account wasn't cancelled, there were no spending records in six years. She guessed that there were too many people and they didn't even notice her card, which was a good thing for her.

Xia Shizhao clasped his hands together, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"I'm going to the restroom."

Yu Luqin, who was a little seasick, greeted her and got up to run to the toilet.

Xia Shizhao asked worriedly before nodding, "Okay, go ahead. Message me if you feel unwell."

"OK."

Not long after Yu Luqin went to the restroom, the airship suddenly lurched, and Xia Shizhao managed to steady himself by grabbing the handrail next to him.

It wasn't shaking like this just now, why does it suddenly feel like someone else is piloting the spaceship?

A piercing static sound came from the radio, and Xia Shizhao covered his ears uncomfortably.

"The airship has been taken into custody. If you know what's good for you, hand over all the valuables."

His voice was rough, hoarse, and extremely unpleasant to listen to.

Xia Shizhao silently offered his comments.

Suddenly, a commotion broke out on the airship, with chaotic footsteps and screams erupting instantly.

A group of people wearing masks and with black bear heads printed on their waistbands, carrying guns, rushed in from outside.

The infamous Black Bear Space Pirate.

They committed murder, arson, looting, and all sorts of atrocities.

"··············"

Xia Shizhao looked coldly at the gun in front of him. Six years had passed, and he never expected that the first time he saw a gun was on an airship. However, it was much inferior to the weapons he had seen back then.

Not yet clear on the specifics of the situation, Xia Shizhao could only remain inactive.

He obediently squatted down with his head in his hands, just like most other passengers.

Everyone was brought together.

She took off all her valuable accessories and threw them to these interstellar pirates.

Xia Shizhao doesn't like wearing accessories; the only valuable thing he owns is his personal computer.

Seeing the robbers staring at her personal terminal, Xia Shizhao had no choice but to take it off and throw it to them.

They crushed it under their feet.

That damned mother spent 500,000 yuan on a personal computer.

Xia Shizhao squatted down with a cold face, cursing inwardly.

With a gun pointed at her head, would she still dare to call the police? Only a lunatic would do that.

Sizzle—

"Listen up, five million each. If you can't raise the full amount, we'll sell you off separately."

They're asking for an exorbitant amount.

"You've gone too far! Who could possibly have come up with this money?"

"That's right!"

"I have it, I have it, five million for you! Let me go!"

The robbers, guns in hand, exchanged glances and laughed maniacally. One of them pointed his gun at the fat man who had said five million, "You want ten million!"

"···this···········"

The man hesitated for a moment, then stammered, "I don't have that much."

"Then let's go and collect the money."

The robber kicked him hard in the stomach, then grabbed the man who had just said "this is too much" and gave him a good beating.

The screams around me gradually weakened.

A faint smell of blood lingered in the air, and the others were so frightened that they dared not breathe, cowering on the ground and trembling.

Xia Shizhao glanced in the direction of the toilet.

A robber just went in. Judging by his size, Yu Luqin should be able to handle him.

Sure enough, a familiar figure emerged shortly afterward; she had changed into bandit clothes.

The two exchanged a brief glance, and seeing Xia Shizhao shake his head slightly, they tacitly looked away again.

Yu Luqin walked directly towards the control room.

All I could hear were screams.

The thug who bullied people everywhere suddenly looked towards the corner and his eyes lit up.

"The one in the corner!"

Xia Shizhao clicked his tongue in annoyance, then stood up and looked timidly at the group of bandits.

"Is...is something the matter?"

"come over."

Xia Shizhao trembled all over and walked over hesitantly.

He glanced at the men behind him, his brows furrowing slightly. It wasn't a good place to make a move, but if he didn't, these bandits might do something to him.

A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"Cough cough."

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Xia Shizhao's lips curled up slightly, and she relaxed completely. In an instant, she snatched the gun from the robber who had called her and killed him.

With a burst of mental energy, the surveillance camera made a crisp cracking sound as the lens shattered. Xia Shizhao subdued several alpha bandits running towards her, pinning them to the ground, unable to struggle.

"Zhaozhao!"

After dealing with the people in the control room, Yu Luqin felt a pang of anxiety when she saw the monitor. She rushed out, but the residual pressure of the mental energy made her legs go weak, and she knelt on the ground.

After tying up the robbers, Xia Shizhao withdrew his spiritual power and helped Yu Luqin up, asking, "Are you alright?"

Her legs trembled, and she was still reeling from the terrifying suppression she had just experienced. "You? Aren't you a beta? You're an alpha?"

"Huh?" Xia Shizhao was taken aback. "What alpha? Isn't mental suppression something everyone can do?"

"Yes, all alphas can suppress it, but it only applies to alphas and omegas. Look, even the beta over there is dizzy. Only alphas with aggressive mental power can do that. Moreover, only some alphas of SS level and above can do aggressive mental power. There are only 10,000 alphas of SS level and above with aggressive mental power in the entire interstellar space. It can't be omegas, right? It's rumored that omegas of SS level and above only have healing abilities and no aggressive ones."

Xia Shizhao, who had just received the explanation, was stunned. "Huh? You'll keep this a secret for me."

Yu Luqin nodded, "I was so conflicted inside just now. I couldn't possibly fight so many people by myself, and the operator was injured. Luckily, I had your medicine with me."

"You hurt your hand?"

Xia Shizhao looked unwell, staring at the blood that had covered his hand.

"There was a bandit inside with higher mental strength than me, but his physical skills were quite poor. I subdued him, hehe."

Yu Luqin finished speaking triumphantly and then cried out "Ouch!" with tears streaming down her face, "My baby Zhaozhao! It hurts! It hurts!"

"It happened so suddenly, I didn't bring any medicine, let me disinfect it for you first."

Xia Shizhao found the iodine and splashed it on her hand, then picked up a gauze and roughly treated it for her.

"The bandits inside had better stop; you're already surrounded by the army!"

"··············"

Xia Shizhao and Yu Luqin exchanged a glance. "Don't expose me, I'm going to faint first."

After saying that, Xia Shizhao found a clean place, closed his eyes, lay down, and slowed his breathing, just like he had really fainted.

Yu Luqin, clutching her wound, stared wide-eyed in disbelief: ? ? ? ?

The military airships that received the safety notification docked with their civilian airships and took the robbers away. The leading officer handed Yu Luqin a bottle of healing medicine, saying, "Yu Luqin, a freshman at Star Alliance Military University, you are quite skilled. We will notify your school to give you an award. You performed very well and deserve praise. We look forward to fighting alongside you in the future."

"Understood, thank you, Commander Bai! I will do my best!"

Yu Luqin raised her hand and happily saluted.

Commander Bai?

Xia Shizhao, who was huddled in the corner, slowly opened his eyes.

Oh dear, it's the bodyguard. I've already run into an acquaintance so quickly.

I wonder how Anan and Wanqin are doing.

Given their personalities, they probably won't be so obedient as to get married and have children.

What if? Thinking of having two miniature versions of her friends, Xia Shizhao couldn't help but smile slightly. That would be quite cute. It's a pity they probably don't remember her, otherwise she would go and chat with them.

Forget it, a zombie coming back to life would scare them. Just take a look from afar.
