Chapter 16 Live Broadcast of the House Collapse? No, it's Live Broadcast of the Bed Collapse.
Once the call connected, Ning Shuyin could see the caller's information.
It is Zhou Zhiheng—the only son of the Zhou family, the most prestigious of the three major financial groups in the Interstellar Alliance.
Zhou Zhiheng connected via holographic communication and was clearly "immersed" in the scene before him.
The girl looked disheveled, her clothes were in disarray, she was soaked in sweat, and her lips were bitten.
As for the incredibly handsome man beneath her, Zhou Zhiheng certainly recognized him.
Lorraine.
The renowned chief biologist of the Alliance Academy of Sciences.
The room they were in at the moment was clearly a virtual reality.
The lighting was dim, the treatment bed was messy, and used restraint devices hung at the head of the bed.
From Zhou Zhiheng's perspective, he could just see the group of statues in the corner of the room.
The entangled statues have adopted a wilder pose.
"Loran, can you explain to me what exactly is going on?" Zhou Zhiheng asked through gritted teeth.
[The target person, Zhou Zhiheng, has experienced a decrease in favorability.]
[Current favorability: -50 (Dangerous)]
The negative favorability rating was entirely within Ning Shuyin's expectations.
If someone's favorability rating is still positive after seeing this scene, then something really strange is going to happen.
Loran had just clearly heard Zhou Zhiheng say the words "date" and "girlfriend".
He is currently in a state of complete involuntary control.
I was both angry and aggrieved.
"It's all her fault! She gave me some weird drug, and now my body feels strange..."
These remarks, brimming with the veiled malice of a manipulative woman, sent a jolt through the young man on the other end of the video.
Ning Shuyin felt that she had found a way to die.
In just one day, she had offended three of the four most notorious male scoundrels in the interstellar world.
"Don't move," she managed to say to Loran.
She had to get rid of that misleading pose immediately.
Ning Shuyin reached out and touched the front of her dress, trying to separate her unruly button from Loran's shirt pocket.
The close proximity meant she could only rely on her senses to find her way.
The subtle friction caused the fabric to rustle softly.
Her fingertips trembled slightly with panic as she reached for the button, repeatedly brushing against his chest.
"You...you mustn't touch there." Loran's voice suddenly tightened.
Even through a layer of fabric, the tactile sensation was too clear.
Every time he was touched, his breathing quickened by half a second.
Zhou Zhiheng was originally leaning lazily against the sofa.
At this moment, he frowned and leaned forward, as if trying to see clearly what was going on in this absurd scene before him.
The esteemed scientist Loran actually allowed a woman to...pull and twist against his chest...and he, panting and shouting...
Zhou Zhiheng, used to a life of leisure, has seen it all.
At that moment, a fierce rage suddenly ignited within him.
He was naturally unaware that this was a side effect of the "green tea aerosol".
Holographic calls offer an extremely high degree of realism.
The two were entangled in a dispute, and the presence of a close-up spectator made the scene even more absurd and ridiculous.
After much effort, Ning Shuyin finally managed to separate the tangled threads from the button.
The pale pink flower-shaped button was left in Loran's pocket, which allowed her to escape.
Ning Shuyin breathed a sigh of relief and straightened her dress.
It's finally over...
She braced herself against the edge of the bed, intending to get off and end this "socially fatal live stream" once and for all.
However, her luck, now completely wiped out, wasn't going to let her off the hook.
With a "creak".
A piercing metallic wail.
That was also the last groan of this treatment bed.
Immediately afterwards, with a crisp "crack!", the core support rod connecting the bed frame and the base broke.
To Zhou Zhiheng's astonishment, the high-tech treatment bed, along with the two people on it, collapsed with a crash!
"Clang!"
Metal parts and various circuit boards were scattered everywhere, and the command cabin was a mess.
Ning Shuyin's personal computer also slipped from her wrist and fell to the ground.
The call was interrupted.
[The target person, Zhou Zhiheng, has experienced a decrease in favorability.]
Current favorability rating: -80 (Extreme hatred).
"System, are you kidding me?!" she wailed inwardly.
[Host, I warned you before that the consequences of clearing your fortune are unknown. Since you insist on this choice, there's nothing I can do...]
The system's tone was one of helplessness.
In the chaos, Ning Shuyin was thrown around and felt dizzy. She struggled to get up from the pile of scrap metal.
Almost simultaneously, the other arm moved—it was Loran.
His actions clearly contradicted his intentions. He instinctively protected her back first and carefully removed the debris from her body.
However, when his gaze fell upon himself and the mess before him, a twisted expression of extreme pain appeared on his face.
His anger at the destruction of the command cabin environment was fiercely battling the effects of the drugs in his brain.
But Loran still used his sleeve to quickly wipe away a stain on Ning Shuyin's cheek.
After he finished this action, the self-loathing in his eyes had turned into tears of grievance.
Just then, Zhou Zhiheng reconnected after the connection was lost.
In the holographic image, Zhou Zhiheng saw the two of them falling together in an even more entangled manner.
Loran even affectionately wiped Ning Shuyin's face.
His white shirt was wrinkled, his hair was messy, and the tears in the corners of his eyes hadn't faded from anger, making him look exactly like someone who had just been "bullied" badly.
In reality, Loran was so angry he was about to faint.
He glared at Ning Shuyin, then glared at Zhou Zhiheng, who was watching the show from the sidelines.
He mustered all his strength to lash out in an angry accusation, but due to the distorted effects of the drug, it sounded more like a whining and tantrum:
"You ordinary person, with such a lowly appearance, actually dares to have three relationships at the same time. Humph!"
As Ning Shuyin listened to his angry outburst, she silently thought to herself:
more than.
"Ha." Zhou Zhiheng laughed in exasperation, a cold glint flashing in his purple eyes. "Luo Lan, it seems I—"
His words came to an abrupt end.
The scene on the other end of the holographic call suddenly changed.
The place where Zhou Zhiheng was standing was clearly a VIP lounge of a space station.
Suddenly, a blinding white light shone through the floor-to-ceiling window behind him.
The cold smile on Zhou Zhiheng's face vanished instantly, replaced by genuine shock.
He turned around abruptly.
Immediately afterwards, the communication screen shook violently.
A deafening roar followed.
"boom--!"
The holographic call made Loran and Ning Shuyin feel as if they were actually there.
Zhou Zhiheng was instantly thrown to the ground by the violent shockwave.
The video feed was filled with flying particles and then stopped after a burst of electrical noise.
What finally came into Ning Shuyin's view was the collapsing metal structure, which devoured everything like a giant beast.
Her first thought was—could it be that she had passed on her bad luck to Zhou Zhiheng?
Inside the command center of the research ship, there was a deathly silence.
Before Ning Shuyin could react, an urgent broadcast sounded.
"Emergency public address system received, will play automatically. An explosion of unknown origin has occurred in the commercial area of Alice Space Station. The station's structure has been damaged by 9%, and casualties are expected."
"A requisition notice for the highest level of medical resources is hereby issued to all adjacent tracks!"
The broadcast sounded like a bucket of cold water, instantly waking the two of them up.
Ning Shuyin stood up from the mess, and Luo Lan stood up at the same time.
The struggle and pain on his face caused by the effects of the drug quickly faded, replaced by professional calm.
Without first dealing with his own disheveled state, he immediately brought up the central control panel and issued commands, speaking quickly and clearly.
"Pana, calculate the fastest route to Alice Space Station, warp drive warm-up! Initiate internal self-cleaning procedure, clean the command module area."
The service robot landed on the bulkhead and began cleaning up the wreckage of the treatment bed.
The notification sounded, "Engine warm-up complete."
However, just as he gave the order to depart, he abruptly stopped.
Loran turned her head and looked at Ning Shuyin.
The eyes that had just been filled with calm and rationality now showed worry and obedience again.
He spoke softly amidst the shrill sound of the public address system.
“Miss Ning, Alice Space Station has issued a notice to requisition medical resources, but... if you don’t want to go, we’ll turn around and leave immediately. I’ll do as you say.”
He was actually asking for her opinion.
Ning Shuyin realized that the effects of this "green tea aerosol" had come into play again at a crucial moment.
"Of course I'll go, saving lives is the priority!" Ning Shuyin answered without hesitation.
Having obtained her "permission," Loran immediately issued instructions to the ship's systems, his tone decisive.
"Route confirmed, warp drive activated, takeoff!"
"Buzz—"
The hospital ship emitted a soft rumble.
The cabin gravity system activated, and Ning Shuyin's body sank.
The Panacea, like an arrow released from a bow, plunged into the dark universe.
The stars outside the window stretched into countless dazzling rays of light.
[The Panacia requests an emergency stop, authorization code: Sigma-7.]
Loran's aircraft carrier hadn't sailed very far to begin with.
In just a few tens of minutes, we arrived at the space station docking port.
The ship's intelligent systems are communicating with the traffic control center via public channels to complete the connection.
Ning Shuyin looked out through the porthole.
The main structure of the Alice Space Station remains intact, and the huge circular commercial area is brightly lit.
At the top of the dazzling crown, a clear explosion wound was visible. Emergency repair vessels were flying back and forth.
As her gaze focused on the broken metal sections, a sharp, needle-like headache struck without warning, causing her to instinctively furrow her brow.
"Let's disembark," Loran's voice rang out.
Ning Shuyin felt as if she had been granted a general amnesty.
During the flight, Loran commanded the flight with a calm and professional tone.
But every ten seconds, he would involuntarily glance at Ning Shuyin to check if her seatbelt was fastened and to ask if she needed water.
This kind of "guardianship" with resentful eyes sent chills down Ning Shuyin's spine, and she could only pray that warp speed could go even faster.
After disembarking, we quickly arrived at the entrance hall of the space station.
Ning Shuyin glanced at the time on the personal terminal.
The remaining effective time of the "green tea aerosol" is ticking away.
When the time comes, this seemingly docile "guardian" beside her will turn back into the demon who tied her to the experimental table.
"Dr. Lorraine!"
The staff waiting at the entrance waved to Loran from afar.
Now!
People were coming and going at the entrance.
Looking at the chaotic sea of people, Ning Shuyin's heart began to race.
She asked Lorraine for help, one of her purposes being to save lives.
Besides, this is also a "getaway" opportunity that comes knocking on your door.
Normally, without a VIP card for the space station, she would find it impossible to move an inch here.
Now, a large number of external supporters have landed, and the space station is allowing them to leave directly.
This was the perfect opportunity for her to escape.
Seeing that Loran had entered the medical center before her, Ning Shuyin immediately turned around and, like a fish swimming in the opposite direction, darted into a side road leading to another commercial district.
Meanwhile, at Alice Space Station, the Archives.
This is the most heavily guarded place on the entire space station.
The shockwave from the explosion only caused the lights in the room to flicker a few times.
The laser grid and the ultrasensitive detectors continue to faithfully perform their duties.
Due to an accident on the space station, the museum is temporarily closed.
The interior was completely empty at the moment.
Suddenly, the space in front of the central exhibition booth rippled like the surface of water after a pebble has been thrown in.
A figure suddenly appeared out of thin air.
