My face was being wiped with a soft, damp towel, and after a while, the warm sensation disappeared.
The shoes made a clattering sound as they stepped on the ground.
Not long after she left.
Xia Shizhao, who had been unconscious on the bed for a long time, twitched his eyelashes and his eyelids trembled slightly.
My stomach is making rumbling noises.
I'm so hungry.
She opened her eyes dazedly, staring at the white ceiling. Her unfocused gaze gradually cleared, and she remembered what had happened.
He managed to sit up straight on the bed.
Xia Shizhao wanted to get out of bed to use the restroom, but any movement caused him pain, and he frowned in discomfort.
Mu Tong, who had been out for a while, noticed her and ran quickly towards Xia Shizhao from the doorway, looking panicked.
"Don't move! Don't move! Zhao Zhao, what are you trying to do? Mommy's here to support you! Your bones haven't healed yet, don't move!"
"Mom, where is Ye Qiuling?"
Struggling to support himself on the edge of the bed, Xia Shizhao saw her and instinctively asked a question.
Mu Tong paused slightly, then helped Xia Shizhao, who was unsteady on her feet by the bed, lingered for a moment, looked at her stubborn daughter, sighed almost imperceptibly, and said, "General Ye destroyed all the trackable energy turrets in the end... and sacrificed himself."
After listening to her mother's words, Xia Shizhao felt dizzy and her throat felt dry for some reason.
He lowered his head and mumbled an "Mmm".
How could the female lead die...? How could she...?
No, impossible.
Xia Shizhao slumped onto the bed, his face full of confusion.
Ye Qiuling clearly took the leader's position after surviving the insect swarm... how could she die...? The main storyline has completely deviated from the intended plot...
After searching through news articles and related terms for a long time, all I found were reports mourning Ye Qiuling.
There's no ash left, how is that possible?
Sitting on the hospital bed, Xia Shizhao pulled the blanket over his head, stubbornly believing that Ye Qiuling was not dead.
Mu Tong sat down next to Xia Shizhao with a bowl of porridge in his hand: "You've been in a coma for two months and haven't eaten anything. Eat something light to soothe your stomach."
Xia Shizhao peeked out from under the covers, and the bed automatically straightened. Leaning against the bed frame, Xia Shizhao listlessly drank his porridge. "Ruxuan and the others are alright."
"Ruxuan and the others are in much better condition than you. They were discharged after only a week in the hospital and I reckon they'll come to see you later."
"Have any of those men in black been caught?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Tong's eyes darkened slightly. "It seems they've caught one, but..."
Xia Shizhao waited for a long time but still didn't get an answer. He looked up at his mother in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"
Mu Tong hesitated for a moment, then laughed and said, "But I don't know the specifics either. It's a military secret. I only found out by chance when Xiao Lian let it slip."
Xia Shizhao lowered his head slightly, sensing that something was being kept from him.
After drinking a bowl of porridge, Mu Tong pulled the blanket up for her, looked at Xia Shizhao with a hesitant gaze, but said nothing. She stood up, poured a glass of water, and placed it on her bedside table. "You've only been awake for a short time. Please, I'm begging you, don't think about those things for now, okay?"
The voice was somewhat muffled.
She sat down beside him and put her hands around Xia Shizhao's right hand, her eyes full of worry. "There was a reason why I argued with you before. I didn't want you to go to the mecha department. I didn't want anyone else to leave. Your aunt... sacrificed herself on the battlefield."
So Xiao Jun was sent to the Pharmacy Department.
This was her doing. From a young age, she deliberately guided Jun Yuyuan to pursue medicine and business because Yuyuan had said she wanted to be a soldier when she was little.
She doesn't regret shattering someone else's dream.
Because he was the only child who was related to his sister by blood.
Thinking of the past, Mu Tong lowered her head with a complicated look in her eyes. She knew she was being selfish, but all she wanted was for her family to stay by her side, nothing more. Tears welled up in her eyes.
Xia Shizhao lowered his eyes slightly, a gentle smile on his lips, placed his hand on the back of his mother's hand, and softly comforted her, "Okay, I'll think about it when I recover. Thank you for worrying you for so long, Mom."
The buildings on every planet in the interstellar world suffered severe damage, and some lost planets were abandoned and destroyed, resulting in a significant improvement in social order.
This insect swarm caused severe damage, with all planets suffering heavy losses. Because the Star Alliance had made some preparations in advance, the losses were not particularly severe, but it will not be able to restore its former prosperity for a while.
Xia Shizhao used his personal computer to get a general idea of what was going on and sighed softly.
Thankfully, they held on.
only……
Xia Shizhao's eyes narrowed slightly.
The leader died when the insect swarm arrived.
It's suspicious that someone so full of life would suddenly die, but all the records show it was a natural death.
Click.
The door was pushed open, and Xia Shizhao subconsciously turned off the floating screen, lay down, closed his eyes, and pretended to be asleep.
“It’s me, not your aunt. You can fool her, but you can’t fool me.”
Liu Ruxuan sat casually beside her, looking her up and down, and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she had really recovered.
"You survived such a dangerous situation; you're incredibly lucky."
"snort."
Xia Shizhao gave a slightly mocking snort. She might not have great fortune, but she certainly had a lucky life.
Her gaze shifted slightly, a hint of confusion in her eyes: "Why are your dark circles so bad?"
Liu Ruxuan was taken aback, then scratched her face with her index finger. "Haha, really? Maybe I've been too busy."
"The leader is dead, and Ye Qiuling is not here either. Who is making the decisions now?"
Xia Shizhao looked at her indifferently.
Liu Ruxuan sighed, "There's no one here. The leader's position is vacant. Blood Rose has the most supporters, but the two vice generals don't seem to have any intention of taking that position. General Ye's position has also remained vacant."
Several veteran generals are now vying for power, but because they didn't contribute much to this insect swarm, they lack support from society and their superiors. Many of those who made contributions this time are eager to take over. If it weren't for the two capable deputy generals beside General Ye, Blood Rose would have changed hands.
These past few months have seen all sorts of strange and unsavory characters emerge, it's been chaotic. Some people have even come to me, but I'm not an ungrateful person; I stand firmly on the side of Blood Rose.
Liu Ruxuan spread her hands.
Xia Shizhao's lips curled up slightly, "It's not just these, is it? These shouldn't be enough to keep you up at night and give you dark circles under your eyes. What are you hiding from me?"
Liu Ruxuan was completely numb.
He slung his shoulder over his shoulder, a frustrated expression on his face.
I should have listened to Chi Xin and not come; she immediately noticed that I was hiding something from her.
Zhao Zhao is so good at observing people's micro-expressions and emotions that she can't hide anything from them.
Frustrated, he scratched the back of his head, quickly stood up, and ran outside: "Hey, hey, I suddenly remembered I have something urgent to do, I have to go now. We'll meet again when you're feeling better after you're discharged from the hospital, bye-bye baby."
Watching her departing figure, Xia Shizhao's brows furrowed slightly.
What's going on?
Why do you stammer and become speechless when asked?
Gu Lian didn't say much to her and ran away halfway through the conversation.
