Chapter 61
In the evening, warm afterglow shines through the window.
Xiaoying had just finished dinner and was leaning against the bay window, listening to the regular beeping of medical equipment, and gradually fell into a doze.
Suddenly, the sound disappeared, and the dim world in my mind became quiet.
It took her a while to wake up. She looked up and saw a figure sitting upright on the bed diagonally opposite her, with his eyes staring blankly, like a piece of wood.
"Xiang Jia, you're awake!" Xiaoying jumped up and ran forward.
But Xiang Jia suddenly pushed him: "Who are you?"
Xiaoying remembered that Xiang Jia had been in a coma since she met him. She smiled and said, "My name is Xiaoying. I rescued you from Gong Daimin's illegal laboratory together. Miss Xi asked me to look after you..."
While speaking, Xiang Jia had already quickly unplugged the medical hose from his body. He paused after hearing this: "Miss Xi... Xi Yue? Pollution..."
"So you remember? It was just a coincidence that the pollution outbreak happened... Don't move. I'll call a doctor to check it out."
However, when Xiaoying returned with the doctor, the bed was empty, and the brand new laptop that Xiyue had bought for the bedside table was nowhere to be found.
Under the medical station building, at the intersection, night fell and neon lights came on, illuminating a person in hospital gown.
She looked up and around, feeling dizzy and disoriented. Passersby gave her strange looks, but no one came up to ask if she needed help, until a scooter rushed over and honked her awake.
Xiang Jia narrowly avoided Fei Mo, bent over and gasped for breath. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a huge light screen not far away, on which different types of mechas were being demonstrated.
"...Miss, my mecha box is well maintained and does not need to be updated yet."
"Better equipment will protect me better, won't it?"
A familiar yet unfamiliar conversation came to mind.
"Xiyue..." Xiang Jia murmured the name, moved his legs somewhat uncomfortably, and walked towards the mecha shop.
Five minutes later, an ordinary mecha flew straight out of the glass door and rushed into the sky.
-
The cabin was very quiet.
Xiaozi followed Xiyue around all day, and although his doubts grew, he didn't ask any unnecessary questions. However, Xiyue suddenly said she wanted to go to the Central Star Region to find the Admiral...
"Miss Xi, trash citizens are not allowed to enter the Central Star Region."
Xiyue didn't care and stared at the computer with a frown.
Why hasn’t Yuanxu sent the location yet?
-
Yuan Xu also had a headache.
He originally thought that Xi Yue came to see him because there was a change in the plan regarding the supervisory order, but he never expected that the message that followed was sent by Xi Po, but in Han Yi's tone.
"Mom is going to find you."
What does it mean?
I can't say things nicely and have to act like a mouthless riddler, which is really annoying to watch.
Including himself, of course.
After wandering outside the secretariat for a while, Yuan Xu simply returned to the hotel. When he passed through the lobby, he stopped and turned to the lounge.
-
Xiyao was preparing dinner at home, with Fentou and Yaya standing beside her, drooling.
After she had enough money and the barrier project was under construction, she asked Shan Zhuang to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables from the No. 28 Star Area Food Wholesale Market every day. The compressed foods that were difficult to swallow were naturally eliminated.
The house was small, so the cooking place was still outside the door. Two dishes, one soup and a pot of rice were all cooked, but Xipo and Hanyi had not returned yet.
Fernhead had a sly look in his eyes and was just about to steal a piece of green pepper for Yaya. However, when his hand was halfway there, he suddenly had a sense of danger and instinctively pulled out the pistol from Xiyao's pocket.
How to unlock the safety, load the gun, inject mental strength, aim, and shoot were all taught to him privately by Xipo. He did it in one go, and fired a shot just by turning his head.
Bang!
The bullet stopped in front of the person and could not move forward an inch.
At the same time, thick gray fog suddenly exploded.
It was the first time for the two children to witness a pollution outbreak. Yaya was stunned, and even Fentou was stunned. However, Xiyao reacted quickly, hugging one of them with each arm and running away.
But her strength was limited. Even if she tried her best, she only ran a short distance before she was tripped by the bumpy dirt road. A violent surge of thick fog suddenly enveloped the three of them.
Fortunately, a mecha fell from the sky, and Qi Jin reorganized it into a hook, entangled her and the two children, and lifted them to the ground.
As the tide surged, some gray fog spread up from the ground. Fortunately, the amount was small and the ferns mutated relatively slowly.
"Run over there, as far as you can!"
"Xiang Jia?" Xi Yao recognized the mecha warrior's voice.
The other party did not answer her, but waved his hand again and used the hook to send them far away.
Almost at the same time, above the ravine, at a height level with the ground, the light suddenly distorted.
Another gray hole exploded.
Under the secondary pollution, the plant mutation suddenly accelerated, and before it was fully formed, it attacked Xiang Jia in a violent mode.
Xiang Jia jumped up and dodged upwards, but a figure flew out from the ravine at an unparalleled speed and pressed down on her head.
The force of the mountain pressing down on him forced Xiang Jia to fall to the ground, and he was immediately wrapped by the mutated vines.
She raised her head and looked through the mist at the figure who was obviously not wearing a mecha, and was momentarily distracted.
God of Pollution...
No, that's not Xiyue.
The other person slowed down and sank slowly, allowing Xiang Jia to see her face clearly.
His hair was gray, his skin was covered with wrinkles, and his skin was covered with red spots due to long-term dryness.
Xiang Jia did not sit still and wait for death. He used his mental power to activate the high-temperature function. The surface temperature of the mecha rose sharply, and the pollutants screamed and let go of the vines.
However, before she could break free, Chen Yilan pressed down on her with pure space, making her unable to move.
Chen Yilan smiled without saying a word. For her, dealing with an A-class mecha warrior who only had a B-class mecha was easy.
But she was suddenly knocked away.
Shi Hanyi paused slightly above Xiang Jia and chased in the direction Chen Yilan had disappeared. Xipo followed closely behind, using a magnetic knife to cut through the vines that were wrapped around Xiang Jia.
"You are... Xipo?"
Xipo was taken aback by Xiang Jia's unprovoked question. Before she could answer, a sudden sound of air breaking was heard. Han Yi was pushed back by Chen Yilan, missing the two of them and crashing into the ravine's rock wall.
The two pure spaces merged together, and the confrontation between the gods of pollution turned into a pure melee.
Chen Yilan grabbed Shi Hanyi's neck with one hand and held a pair of scissors in the other, pointing them at Hanyi's eyes. Hanyi was only seven years old after all, and his strength was not good enough. He could only use both hands to barely grab Chen Yilan's wrist and block the sharp blade of the scissors.
Behind Chen Yilan, the hail of bullets fired by the two mechas fell on the invisible barrier of pure space, but to no avail.
Xiang Jia and Xi Po looked at each other and tacitly gave up the attack.
They had all personally experienced Xiyue's pure space and knew that continuing to attack was futile. So, they rushed forward in unison, landing at the bottom of the ravine and using their mechas' maximum thrust to crash upwards.
Xipo had an extra trick up his sleeve. In the instant before the collision, he used the spiral cannon to bombard the stone wall that the pure space was resting against.
Flames exploded, earth and rocks flew everywhere, and the pure space lost its support point and became loose. The two mechas seized the fleeting opportunity and crashed the pure space into the sky.
Chen Yilan's hand holding the scissors also deviated from the direction, leaving a bloody mark on Han Yi's face. Han Yi took the opportunity to crash into her arms and finally separated from her.
The two gods of pollution flew to both sides, one above and one below.
Han Yi placed the two mechas into the pure space, and the pollutants that surged from all around him lost their target. Three pairs of eyes looked up, watching Chen Yilan fly down in front of them fearlessly.
"I know you said we can't start the pollution within the 33rd Legion's territory."
Chen Yilan's smile was as kind as ever, and her eyes fell on Xiang Jia, "But, she has awakened. This is a special order. As a Split, you should understand it better than me."
Even though he eavesdropped on their conversation, Xipo still couldn't understand what Chen Yilan was saying.
Awakening?
Doesn’t it refer to a person awakening his spiritual power?
Xiang Jia originally had B-level mental power, and after Han Yi's exploration, it was upgraded to A-level. How could there be any awakening?
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a sharp pain deep in my brain.
Xipo lowered her head and gritted her teeth, and as expected, she met Han Yi's dark eyes.
Han Yi is improving his mental strength.
"Kill the gods." He heard Han Yi say.
-
As soon as the starship passed through the barrier, it was stopped by two patrol ships belonging to the Central Security Headquarters.
At first, only two security soldiers opened their mechas and came to check the passes. Seeing that Xiyue was unable to produce them, two more security soldiers opened their mechas and moved closer, surrounding the hatches on both sides.
Xi Yue stared coldly at the computer screen. Yuan Xu seemed to have died suddenly, without any movement.
She closed her eyes and asked Xiaozi to open the window.
The security guard's unfriendly electronic voice immediately reached his ears: "Show your identification information!"
Xizi did as he was told. He and Yuan Xu had been to the Central Star Region together. Not only did he meet the citizenship requirements, but he also had all the necessary passes.
But the security guard stared at Xiyue: "Yours!"
Xi Yue lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. Ignoring the security guard's urging, she tapped on the light computer for a long time before turning on the flying camera and projecting her identity information and a paragraph of words onto the light screen.
"Trash citizens are not allowed to enter the central star zone!" The other party didn't even have the patience to read the following content, "Deport!"
Xi Yue curled her lips: "Can't read? Then I'll read it to you."
"The Central Star District has issued a supervisory order to the 33rd Legion, demanding the expulsion of 200,000 trash citizens within its jurisdiction. The central government doesn't care about the lives of these trash citizens. Admiral Yuan Xu and the 33rd Legion are in charge! My name is Xi Yue, the daughter of Xi Hai, the former commander of the 33rd Legion. Admiral Yuan and I came to the Central Star District to argue for our rights, but we were expelled by the Central Legion! If we don't resist, not only will the central government keep these trash citizens out, but the 33rd Star District and the eight other star districts under it will eventually expel all of them..."
The 33rd Legion's policy of treating its less-than-optimal citizens with kindness, despite opposition from the central government, was well known to everyone in the interstellar universe. The security guards were also momentarily stunned, but more than that, they were bewildered.
They didn't know about the supervision order issued by the secretary, and they just felt that Xiyue's words were incomprehensible.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Tell your deputy director Wan Bing. He understands."
Xi Yue said calmly, "I'll only give you one chance. If you don't let me go within ten minutes, I'll post this on Starnet. When the public outrage mounts and a commotion breaks out, I believe all of you present here will be held accountable."
The two security guards looked at each other and retreated a distance at the same time.
"Is she really Commander Xi's daughter?"
"Just check and you'll know...it's true. Look, Xihai has three children, the other two are registered dead, and she's the only one alive."
"What about us?"
"It doesn't matter if I spend a little time. I'll get her message and send it to the captain. Have him ask the deputy director for instructions."
About two minutes later, Bo Yucheng, who was about to leave the office, received a voice call from Wan Bing.
After roughly listening to the situation and reading the text received by the optical brain, he flew into a rage: "Yuan Xu is so bold! Doesn't he want to give up his position as the commander of the legion?!"
I thought Yuan Xu was just trying to stay here and wouldn't dare to tell anyone about it. But I didn't expect him to use this trick!
Through Xiyue, borrowing Xihai's influence, which hadn't yet dissipated, to incite everyone within the 33rd Legion's jurisdiction to rebel against the central government?!
Bo Yucheng was shocked. Could this be the threat Yuan Xu made before leaving?
"Whether he wants the head coach position isn't important. What matters right now is whether you want the position of head of the secretariat," Wan Bing said in the communication. "If this matter escalates in this way, the first resistance to the supervision order will not be the citizens, but the 33rd Legion. I don't have the ability to deal with the legion."
"Old Bo, I advise you to calm Xiyue down first."
Bo Yucheng pounded his fist on the table: "No, the best way is to kill Xi Yue once and for all!"
Before he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of light and shadow in his peripheral vision.
He raised his head and saw Qiao Mingjin standing at the door with a look of shock.
At this moment, Wan Bing's voice came over: "It's not impossible, but you can't kill someone under my nose. Send someone to take her away first..."
Before he could finish, Bo Yucheng hung up.
Under Bo Yucheng's gaze, Qiao Mingjin's expression gradually returned to normal: "Admiral, the starship is ready. You..."
It seems that the admiral has no intention of going home.
But then I heard Bo Yucheng say: "Go pick up Xiyue. Report to me immediately where she went, who she met, and what she did!"
Although Xiyue was most likely here for Yuanxu, it was always better to be cautious.
Qiao Mingjin didn't ask any more questions and replied, "Yes."
Bo Yucheng watched him leave.
He watched Qiao Mingjin grow up, so he naturally knew Qiao Mingjin's strength. Logically speaking, it would be most appropriate to ask Qiao Mingjin to kill Xi Yue.
However, Bo Yucheng also knew Qiao Mingjin's character very well. Not to mention letting Qiao Mingjin take action, since Qiao Mingjin knew that he had the intention to kill, the plan to kill Xiyue would be ruined.
What a waste of money!
Bo Yucheng hammered the table again, feeling very disappointed with his friend.
Xiyue never took back the light screen.
The content on the screen turned into a countdown, which started at ten minutes and now only had thirty seconds left.
Every jump in the numbers made the security guards tremble with fear, although they didn't know what to worry about.
Unable to bear watching any longer, a security guard anxiously gazed towards the headquarters building. It wasn't far away, so ten minutes was more than enough time. The reconnaissance system showed people coming and going on the various parking decks in the building, but no one was flying towards them.
Instead, the companion on the other side suddenly shouted: "Here they come!"
Under the gray night sky, a light blue shadow was approaching rapidly. It looked like a mecha.
But...where did the other party come from?
The security guard didn't bother to pursue this question and hurried to look at Xiyue's light screen, where the seconds had just returned to zero.
Fortunately I made it in time.
Everyone, even the younger brother, breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't know about the supervisory order, but he also understood that, regardless of whether it was true or false, once this statement was exposed online, it would inevitably cause great trouble for the 33rd Legion. If the legion was in trouble, it meant that Yuanxu would be in trouble.
In order to enter the central star zone and see Yuan Xu, Miss Xi's actions were too reckless.
One could even say it's a little crazy.
The man suddenly stopped beside the starship, showed his identity to the security guard, and said, "Allowed to enter."
After saying that, he turned around, made the mecha mask transparent, and looked at Xi Yue: "Miss Xi, long time no see."
Xi Yue was slightly surprised, then smiled. Her first words were, "I've always kept my word, so I'm sorry, even a second late is still too late. The message has already been sent. Captain Qiao, are you changing your mind and sending me back?"
Everyone was shocked.
One of the security guards couldn't help but blurt out: "Are you sick?!"
