Xia Chujian asked, "The sea area of the entire Senze Star is so large, where do they usually operate?"
Seven Lù said, "Master, Seven Lù's database does not have such detailed information."
Xia Chujian was a little impetuous: "What's wrong with your database, Seven Lù?"
"Why isn't such crucial information available?"
Seven Lù didn't speak, and after a while, said with a grievance, "Seven Lù doesn't know..."
Xia Chujian took a deep breath, stood up from the treetop, and said, "I'd better go find some Shang People and ask about the situation first."
That coordinate location was too far away, and Xia Chujian had to verify it from multiple sources before taking action.
Seven Lù's childish voice asked with incomprehension, "Master, wasn't that tribe wiped out just now?"
Xia Chujian said, "That was only a little over a thousand Shang People. Doesn't this planet have more than a hundred thousand Shang People?"
"Wouldn't searching for Shang People be easier than searching for Longevity Flying Fish?"
Seven Lù said, "No, because the Shang People are smaller. It's better to search directly for Longevity Flying Fish."
Xia Chujian: "Seven Lù, can you try to think from my perspective?"
Seven Lù said, "Cannot, Master, because Master is Master, and Seven Lù is not Master."
The one person and one Mechanical Intelligence kept repeating themselves like a broken record, until it was dark before they went back.
But as she soared from the treetop, she suddenly felt a burning sensation on her back, as if she was being watched.
Xia Chujian turned her head sharply.
The treetop was boundless, the night sky was deep blue, the sky was low, and the stars twinkled.
In the vast wilderness, there wasn't even the sound of a bird or insect.
Although she wasn't cold, she still shivered.
She suddenly had the illusion that she was the only person on the entire planet.
This feeling was really terrible.
Xia Chujian activated the Shao Siming Mecha again, and sprinted forward like an arrow.
She drove the Shao Siming Mecha with all her might, and returned to the tribe's location in just two minutes.
Which was also where her Interstellar Airship was now parked.
A fifteen-meter-tall advanced Mecha was walking back and forth in the open space in front of the Airship, occasionally looking up into the distance, as if anxiously waiting for something.
It wasn't until Xia Chujian suddenly appeared in front of her that she took a step back, and then said through her helmet communicator, "Captain, is that you?!"
It was Mao Yonggui's voice.
Xia Chujian said, "It's me, I'm back. Why didn't you go inside? Why are you alone outside?"
At this moment, two more Mecha flew over.
Both were six-meter-tall Mecha.
"Captain!"
"Captain!"
These were Sun Jiahao and Li Dali.
During the day, Xia Chujian, along with them and Chu Qingjuan, had explored the roads in the four directions of southeast, northwest.
Xia Chujian nodded: "Where's Second Lieutenant Chu?"
Mao Yonggui said, "Second Lieutenant Chu has a bit of muscle spasm, she'll be fine after resting for a while."
Xia Chujian shrank her neck a little guiltily, and said, "That's good. Now that everyone's back, let's go inside first. We'll have dinner and then hold a meeting."
Sun Jiahao and Li Dali had also been worried all afternoon, and were relieved to see Xia Chujian return.
Mao Yonggui didn't know Xia Chujian as well as Sun Jiahao and Li Dali did, so she was even more worried than them.
She quickly said, "Captain, hurry back, everyone is anxious. A day has passed, and we don't have any clues."
Xia Chujian was about to fly towards the hold door of the Interstellar Airship when she suddenly heard someone say behind her, "...Are you a man or a woman?"
It was Qiu Zijun's voice.
Xia Chujian had been using an electronically simulated synthesized male voice to talk to her.
Later, she went out for a while and switched the voice back.
There was no need for her to use a fake voice when talking to her own people.
She didn't expect Qiu Zijun to hear it.
Xia Chujian didn't want to keep pretending.
She turned around, looked at Qiu Zijun standing on the ground, and said, "I'm a woman. I used an electronically simulated voice to talk to the Shang People before, but I forgot to switch it back."
Qiu Zijun said "oh", as if she was even more interested, and said with a smile, "Your voice sounds quite young. I didn't expect you to be the captain of this Interstellar Airship."
Xia Chujian said, "It's not an Interstellar Airship, it's a Starry Sky Cruiser, and I'm the captain. This time, we are all young people as captains."
Qiu Zijun heard the implication in Xia Chujian's words and said in surprise, "You? You have more than one Starry Sky Cruiser this time?! Which fleet are you from?!"
Xia Chujian said, "We are trainees from the Kanli Star Flying Base, and we have members from all fleets."
Only then did Qiu Zijun understand, and said with envy, "So you are trainees from the Flight Training Base that only elite pilots can go to..."
Xia Chujian smiled, "I'm going back to the Airship. Second Lieutenant Qiu, would you like to come up with us?"
Qiu Zijun blushed and said, "...I have two companions, can I bring them up with me?"
Xia Chujian raised her eyebrows, "Are they also our comrades?"
Qiu Zijun was even more embarrassed, her voice so low that Xia Chujian could barely hear her.
She whispered, "One is my bodyguard, hired by my family. The other is a young man I rescued here..."
Xia Chujian's face under the helmet suddenly darkened, but her tone was still quite relaxed, and she said with a smile, "Second Lieutenant Qiu's family must be extraordinary to be able to bring a personal bodyguard on a military mission."
Qiu Zijun smiled awkwardly and said, "I am the only daughter in my family. My parents originally didn't allow me to participate in that military operation unless I brought the bodyguard hired by my family."
Xia Chujian's heart stirred, wondering if Qiu Zijun's family knew some inside information, otherwise, why would they stop their daughter, who had already joined the army and become a Second Lieutenant, from participating in that Special Military Operation? Her attitude became more amiable, "Okay, no problem. However, the young man you rescued here, is he a Shang Person?"
Qiu Zijun said in confusion, "I don't know, but he doesn't have dorsal fins, and he looks exactly like us."
"But he was seriously injured. There is no Medical Cabin in my Combat Aircraft, only a little medicine. I gave him both internal and external applications, but the effect is not very good."
Xia Chujian said calmly, "Can I take a look? You know our discipline. Second Lieutenant Qiu is a comrade, so there is absolutely no problem in going to our Airship. But for other people, I need to take a look."
"I am the Captain, and I am responsible for the safety of all the officers and soldiers on the ship."
Qiu Zijun hurriedly said, "No problem, Captain, this way please."
Xia Chujian followed Qiu Zijun to her Small Combat Aircraft.
Qiu Zijun's Flying Vehicle was indeed not big.
Because it was a Military Flying Vehicle, there were only two rows of seats inside, and a small room with two single bunk beds.
It didn't have the feeling of a Flying Apartment like a Civilian Flying Vehicle.
Xia Chujian stood there, the three-meter-tall Mecha was one meter taller than the two-meter-tall Combat Aircraft.
Qiu Zijun opened the hatch and asked Xia Chujian, "Captain, would you like to come in?"
Xia Chujian said, "I won't go in. Let your personal bodyguard and the young man you rescued come out."
Qiu Zijun looked at Xia Chujian's tall Mecha and understood why she didn't go in.
She nodded, "Then please wait a moment."
After Qiu Zijun went in, she closed the hatch of the Military Combat Aircraft.
Xia Chujian waited outside for ten minutes.
During this period, she also tried to turn on the advanced hearing function of the Shao Siming Mecha, which was actually "eavesdropping".
As a result, she found that the Combat Aircraft was indeed military-grade, and the soundproofing coating was very effective.
Her Shao Siming Mecha couldn't "hear" what was being said inside.
Ten minutes later, the hatch of the Combat Aircraft opened, and Qiu Zijun jumped out first.
Then came a tall man, also wearing a Combat Suit, but without an armband on his arm, indicating that he was not part of the Military.
He lowered his head, carrying a gun case that Xia Chujian immediately recognized.
Her pupils shrank suddenly, then returned to normal.
Fortunately, she was still completely covered by the Mecha, so no one outside could see the expression on her face.
The man raised his head and looked calmly in Xia Chujian's direction.
All he saw was an Ordinary Mecha three meters tall.
Gleaming with black iron, it was the most common conventional Mecha of the Beichen Empire.
The man's expression was calm to the point of indifference, his gaze swept over Xia Chujian's Mecha, then he looked at Qiu Zijun.
Xia Chujian could tell that the man's gaze had changed significantly, as if he couldn't take his eyes off Qiu Zijun.
Xia Chujian didn't know what to feel.
Because she knew this man, not only knew him, but was very familiar with him.
He was Ye Shijie, the captain of the Dark Night Hunter Association Team in Mulan City, Guiyuan Star, Beichen Empire, and also her captain.
She had been in his team for three years, so familiar that she couldn't be more familiar.
Xia Chujian looked at Ye Shijie with a complicated expression, and didn't dare to speak for a moment.
She didn't know if her voice would sound different through the Shao Siming Mecha's external microphone.
But with Ye Shijie's insight and his ability as a Rank B Peak Mental Strength expert, he would definitely recognize her.
Xia Chujian didn't speak for a moment.
Ye Shijie looked at Qiu Zijun and said, "The child's injuries are too severe, should I carry him down?"
Qiu Zijun looked at Xia Chujian.
Xia Chujian nodded slowly.
Ye Shijie took off the gun case on his back and placed it on the ground, then returned to the Combat Aircraft.
As a result, before he had been inside for long, a gray figure suddenly darted out of the hatch, and then escaped into the distance as if weightless.
Without saying a word, Xia Chujian immediately gave chase.
Ye Shijie's voice was actually slower than Xia Chujian's actions.
Only then did he shout, "This child ran away! His injuries have long healed! He's been lying to us!"
Qiu Zijun's face turned snow-white, then flushed red, and she clenched her fists, too angry to speak.
She stamped her foot: "How could you let him run?! His injuries were so severe, how could he recover so quickly! How can he survive if he escapes?"
Ye Shijie pursed his lips and asked, "Which direction did he run? - Where's that Mecha Warrior?"
Qiu Zijun pointed to the east: "He ran that way, and that female Captain chased after him."
Ye Shijie stopped talking, and the abilities of a high-level Gene Evolver erupted, chasing after the direction Qiu Zijun pointed like lightning.
This is the first update, the second update will be at 1 p.m.
Is it Monday? Reminder for everyone's Recommendation Ticket!
