Xia Chujian quickly deduced that Ye Shijie's mission was probably not just to protect Qiu Zijun's safety, but also to ensure she completed her mission.
But she still looked nonchalant, and said with a smile, "What mission? Do you need my help? —I have a lot of people working for me now."
Ye Shijie looked at her deeply and said, "Chujian, don't forget the rules of the Dark Night Hunter. We don't tell outsiders the content of our employer's mission."
"I won't ask you what you're doing here, and you don't ask me."
Xia Chujian laughed and said, "Ye Dui is right."
"Then I won't ask. By the way, Ye Dui, I can't take this boy into my Interstellar Airship, I hope you understand."
"You and Second Lieutenant Qiu can rest in my Airship, but not him."
Ye Shijie glanced at the boy who had fainted, and said helplessly, "I have already checked with my Mental Strength, he is human, not a Shang Person, you don't need to be so alarmed."
Xia Chujian said, "If he is an ordinary human, then he can't get on my Airship even more."
Ye Shijie was puzzled: "...Why? He's just an eleven or twelve-year-old child, how can he be more powerful than you high-energy Mechas?"
Xia Chujian said, "Is he a Gene Evolver?"
Ye Shijie said, "I don't know."
Xia Chujian continued, "If he is a Gene Evolver, then why is he alone on this planet with severe nuclear radiation? And in the Alligator Dragon's nest, have you thought about it?"
"If he is not a Gene Evolver, but can survive on this planet without protection, then it is even more suspicious."
Ye Shijie frowned and thought for a while, and said, "I understand your concerns."
"But this boy is injured and has early symptoms of Genetic Disease. Isn't this a normal human's reaction on this planet?"
Xia Chujian said, "I am not a doctor, I cannot make this diagnosis."
"For the sake of my subordinates, I cannot take him into my Airship."
"Of course, you can continue to let him stay in your Combat Aircraft."
"That's your territory, I have no right to interfere."
"And my Starry Sky Cruiser, that's my territory."
Ye Shijie shook his head helplessly and said, "Chujian, you are too suspicious."
"But I can understand, I will discuss it with Second Lieutenant Qiu."
Xia Chujian pointed to the boy who was still unconscious on the ground, and said, "Ye Dui, you also need to be careful. If he is not right, don't hesitate, kill him directly."
The corner of Ye Shijie's mouth twitched, and he said, "Chujian, you are not a Gene Evolver. You need to strike first, but I am different from you."
As he spoke, he released his Mental Strength pressure.
Xia Chujian immediately felt a sting on her wrist wearing the Smart Bracelet.
She hurriedly pretended to cover her head, and said in a painful voice, "Ye Dui, why are you attacking me with your Mental Strength!"
Ye Shijie smiled and said, "Don't you know? My Mental Strength has officially broken through Rank B peak, and is now in the early stage of Rank A."
Mental Strength reaching Rank A is also an important threshold for Gene Evolvers.
This proves that he has finally entered the high-level field of Gene Evolvers from ordinary Gene Evolvers.
His position in the Beichen Empire will also change greatly.
A Dark Night Hunter Team on Guiyuan Star can no longer trap a Rank A Gene Evolver like Ye Shijie.
Xia Chujian sighed in her heart, and snorted lightly on the surface, "Then you can't take it lightly either. I've said what I need to say, you and Second Lieutenant Qiu can discuss it, I'll go first."
As Xia Chujian spoke, she started the Mecha, soared into the air, and quickly headed towards the Interstellar Airship.
Ye Shijie looked complicated, watching Xia Chujian disappear into the sky in the blink of an eye, marveling at the extraordinary speed of her Mecha, while carrying the unconscious boy on his back, he returned to the Small Combat Aircraft.
Qiu Zijun was sitting inside alone, eating a tube of Advanced Nutrient Solution to calm her nerves.
Seeing Ye Shijie carrying the boy in, she asked in surprise, "What's wrong? Why did you bring him back? He is so seriously injured, he was just about to go to the Medical Cabin for treatment."
"That female Captain is very easy to talk to, she wouldn't refuse."
Ye Shijie said, "You're wrong, that Captain refused to let this boy on her Interstellar Airship, but she still allows you and me to go up."
Qiu Zijun frowned, a hint of puzzlement on her delicate and pretty face.
"Why? She's clearly a very upright and enthusiastic person, why wouldn't she save this boy?"
Ye Shijie said with a wry smile, "Second Lieutenant Qiu, in fact, our actions were indeed quite presumptuous."
Qiu Zijun was even more puzzled, her large, clear eyes widening as she said, "What's presumptuous about it? Are we wrong to save someone?"
Ye Shijie said, "Of course it's not wrong to save someone, but it depends on the situation."
"In this situation, we have to admit that the timing and location of this boy's appearance are indeed a bit too sudden."
Qiu Zijun fell silent.
She frowned as she finished a tube of Advanced Nutrient Solution, casually tossing the empty tube into a small recycling device, and said, "Then what do we do? Just leave him here?"
"You can do something like that, but I can't."
"Besides, you know I have another mission."
"If I can't take this boy back, my mission will fail."
Ye Shijie rubbed his temples, frowning as he said, "Are you sure this boy is the person you're looking for?"
Qiu Zijun smiled without saying a word.
Of course she knew, but there was no need to be so clear with this bodyguard.
Ye Shijie looked at her smile, his heart softening, and said softly, "I can stay here with him, Second Lieutenant Qiu can go to the Airship over there and rest."
Qiu Zijun sighed and said, "How can I abandon you? And if I just leave this child here like this, he'll surely die. Wouldn't I have wasted my efforts?"
"He needs to be treated in the Medical Cabin over there."
Ye Shijie understood Xia Chujian.
If she decided on something, there had to be a good reason to convince her to change her mind, otherwise she wouldn't care about anyone's feelings.
Ye Shijie said tactfully, "Then Second Lieutenant Qiu had better explain the situation to that Captain, otherwise she won't change her mind."
Qiu Zijun frowned: "Is it that difficult? How about this, I'll confess my family background to her, and promise that my Qiu family will owe her a favor in the future, wouldn't that work?"
Ye Shijie said, "I'm not sure about that, Second Lieutenant Qiu can try."
In fact, he knew it definitely wouldn't work.
It wasn't like Xia Chujian hadn't seen Nobles before.
She could talk and laugh with the heirs of the Empire's top wealthy families, so why would she give the Qiu family any face? But Qiu Zijun thought it was feasible, and smiled, "I understand, I'll stay here with you for one night for now."
"Tomorrow I'll go and persuade that female Captain to agree to treat this child's injuries, and at the same time take us away from here and back to the Beichen Empire."
Ye Shijie: "..."
He knew Xia Chujian would not agree to take this boy back with them.
But after spending a month together, he knew that Qiu Zijun was also a very stubborn person.
It was no use trying to persuade her, she could only learn the hard way.
Xia Chujian would teach her a lesson.
And they could wait another two months, someone from Qiu Zijun's side would come to pick her up.
It was just that they probably hadn't expected Qiu Zijun to complete her mission so smoothly, so they had estimated a lot more time for them.
Ye Shijie stopped trying to persuade her, and said, "Then should we go and borrow some medicine and supplies from that female Captain?"
Qiu Zijun said, "That's a good idea, let's fly the Combat Aircraft near their Airship."
Ye Shijie agreed and started the Small Combat Aircraft.
...
After Xia Chujian left that place, she flew towards the Interstellar Airship for a while, and after completely getting out of the radar scanning range of the Combat Aircraft over there, she made a turn and flew in another direction.
Because Seven Lù told her that the coordinate location Ye Shijie gave her was actually not too far from here.
Seven Lù said, "Master, that coordinate location is in the sea area 1,500 miles to the west."
Xia Chujian thought about it and said, "That's the direction Team Sun went to explore today. But he only explored a thousand li and didn't go any further."
Seven Lù said, "Team Sun is more cautious. Further ahead is a dense forest, and it's not easy for him to go in alone."
Xia Chujian was the only one who dared to enter the dense forest alone.
She said, "Let's go take a look."
Even if she didn't take action, it was good to explore the path first.
Xia Chujian activated the Shao Siming Mecha and accelerated.
She traveled through the night, her speed as fast as lightning.
She arrived at the distance of fifteen hundred li in three minutes.
Standing on the edge of the land, looking at the dense marine forest in front of her, Xia Chujian began radar scanning.
With the assistance of Seven Lù, she quickly saw the image of the dense forest.
The scene there was completely different from other dense forests.
The coral trees inside, as well as the towering ferns, emitted a faint green light in the dark night.
Suddenly, a long tail appeared on the visual image converted by the radar scan.
Then the thing suddenly turned around, looked in the direction of the radar scan, and bared its teeth.
Seven Lù's excited childish voice sounded, "Alligator Dragon! It really is an Alligator Dragon!"
Xia Chujian glanced at it, "... Isn't this just an alligator? It's just much longer than an alligator, its limbs are also much longer, its head isn't that long, but its neck is quite long."
Seven Lù said, "That's why it's called an Alligator Dragon, it's the ancestor of alligators."
Xia Chujian muttered, "... I can actually see a living ancient fossil..."
As she spoke, she walked towards the depths of the dense forest.
She had already activated the stealth mode of the Shao Siming Mecha, and was flying in mid-air without touching the ground at all.
Therefore, after waiting vigilantly for a while, the Alligator Dragon rustled forward again.
Its two hind legs were much longer than its two front legs, so when it ran, it looked like it was walking upright.
Xia Chujian secretly followed behind it, watching it twist and turn, walking on flat ground in the dense forest, and finally came to a cave about two meters wide.
Xia Chujian clicked her tongue.
She never expected that there would be a cave hidden here.
Seven Lù's voice sounded in her fully enclosed helmet, "Master, be careful!"
There will be a second big chapter at 1 p.m., including an extra update for 2400 Moon Tickets in July.
