Ling Lan is dead!
When she floated in the air and looked down at what was happening below, she knew that she was already dead.
She was able to see through the solid wall, observing her parents crying outside the intensive care unit, as well as her younger brother's solemn expression. And when no one was paying attention, she could even see him exhaling softly, as if releasing some kind of stress.
Ling Lan wasn't angry about this. She was well aware that she had been holding this family back for a full twenty-four years, almost bringing this not-so-large and wealthy family to its knees. Had it not been for the peculiar nature of her illness, which warranted research, and the free treatment drugs provided by the state, she might have been unable to receive medical care and bid farewell to this world as early as a dozen years ago.
However, even if she delays any longer, she will still not escape death. But she never expected that humans actually have souls.
She gazed at the vast, dark expanse of the night sky, her mind wandering freely, wondering if there were cow-headed horse-faced creatures in this world, or if, like in the anime "Death Note", a person claiming to be the Death God would suddenly appear and lead her into the realm of the Death God?
She suddenly burst into laughter, self-mocking herself for being idle in the hospital bed and randomly reading books and anime. "Death God" is something from Japan, how could it possibly appear in China? Maybe the probability of a cow-headed and horse-faced figure is higher. Or maybe there will be a little ghost dressed in ancient clothes?
"Idiot! Humans don't have souls. This is your spirit body. If you don't come back, you will truly disintegrate into this world and become one of the energies." A childish voice burst out in Ling Lan's ear, and the tone was definitely exasperated.
Before Ling Lan could even ask a question, she felt as if she was being pulled back by a tremendous force. Then her consciousness began to blur. Finally, when she fell into a coma, she seemed to hear that childish voice cheering: "We made it! I thought my host was doomed."
At the same time, the national first-class military hospital where Ling Lan was treated suddenly plunged into darkness. Subsequently, the entire capital and several surrounding provincial and city areas also fell into darkness.
In a capital city and several provincial capitals that have never experienced such a large-scale power outage before, a collective power failure occurred for the first time. This sudden disruption of the quiet night sky caused a commotion.
Fortunately, the power outage was not long - only three minutes. The entire city quickly returned to normal. However, the national power company was in a state of shock. Because during these three minutes, the electricity they supplied to these cities mysteriously vanished. It seemed as if the power company had not input any electricity at all during these three minutes. But in fact, all the data indicated that in just three minutes, they had supplied an amount of electricity far exceeding trillions of terawatts, much more than before.
This matter was quickly taken over by the National Security Bureau. After months of investigation, the final explanation given to the public was that the computer system of the power company, which monitored the power input, was hacked, the information was tampered with, and the output was interrupted. Therefore, the power outage occurred in the capital and other surrounding provincial capitals. Thus, the ongoing controversy over the power outage issue came to an end.
And eventually, it was sealed away in the country's top-secret national security files. In the report, it was clearly stated: Unexplained phenomena occurred, the electricity vanished without a trace, as if it were a masterpiece created by a deity!
Star Chart Era 4731:
Atan Star's Starport. All the soldiers heading to the front are lining up in front of the ordinary starships and entering the warships. In front of the command ship of the highest-ranking officer, among the countless people saying goodbye, there is a couple who are holding hands and facing each other, giving each other instructions.
"Limiao, you must come back alive," said Lan Luofeng, opening her big, watery eyes and pleading.
Ling Xiao nodded. He hadn't expected to be sent to the battlefield just two months after their marriage. However, the enemy country was pressing forward aggressively, and the situation in the motherland was unfavorable. He couldn't afford to show any sign of cowardice at this time.
"Everything at home depends on you now." Ling Xiao, who was about to set out on his journey, felt sorry for his newlywed wife. All those troublesome and unpleasant things in the family would have to be borne by this weak woman when he was away. Could she withstand the greed of those people? His heart wasn't at ease.
Lan Lu Feng gazed with tear-filled eyes and firmly stated: "Don't worry, Ling Xiao. I will take good care of our family." She placed Ling Xiao's hand on her abdomen and shyly said: "In just over eight months, you will become a father."
"We have a child? That's wonderful." Ling Xiao, stunned by this good news, excitedly picked up his wife and spun her around, his mouth filled with joyful laughter.
Lan Luofeng nervously hugged Ling Xiao, but she didn't stop him from expressing his joy. After a long time, Ling Xiao finally put her down and hugged her tightly, saying: "Luofeng, thank you!"
"Why should I thank you? I'm your wife, and he... is also the child I've been expecting." Lan Luofeng's face flushed with tenderness. She pressed her hand to her abdomen, unable to suppress her joy. "I'd like to ask you, what should the child be named in the future?"
Ling Xiao heard this and began to seriously consider it. Looking at his wife who also had a delighted expression, he suddenly had an idea: "I've decided. For both boys and girls, our child will be named Ling Lan! He is your and my child, and he deserves our surnames." Lan Luofeng's family also had only one daughter. Perhaps this name would make his young wife happy.
Sure enough, Lan Luofeng was very happy. She nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, follow your advice." Tears in her eyes could no longer be held back and began to stream down, leaving Ling Xiao at a loss. He could only help wipe her tears with a tense expression on his face.
At this moment, the farewell platform announced the final boarding reminder. Lan Luo Feng quickly composed herself and wiped away her tears, smiling and saying: "Ling Xiao, you must keep your promises. I and Ling Lan will wait for you to come back."
Ling Xiao Zhong nodded solemnly: "What I promise to do, I will definitely do."
So Lingxiao left with the hope for the child, and in the misty tears of Lanluofeng, boarded the command ship. Soon, the command ship shut down and started up. Under the instructions of the airfield, it broke away from the navigation frame of the port, slowly ascended into the air, gradually flying away from the Anta Star, leading countless warships, towards the depths of the universe.
At this moment, the people who were concentrating on watching the warships leave the port did not notice that, because with countless warships starting to depart, the immense energy actually caused this starry sky to vibrate silently, and even in some areas, there was a phenomenon of energy space folding. Something that was almost invisible to the naked eye suddenly appeared out of nowhere and flew towards the Anta Star at the speed of light.
Blue Luo Feng, still in her state of grief, suddenly felt a cool sensation followed by a warm one in her abdomen. She couldn't help but exclaim in surprise and instinctively covered her stomach. This made the old butler Ling Qin, who had been acting as a mural all along, become even more nervous.
"Miss, are you all right?"
Lan Lu Feng narrowed his eyes and carefully felt the sensations in his body. Finding nothing amiss, he then relaxed and replied, "Uncle Qin, it's fine. Probably it's just because I was too excited earlier."
Ling Qin finally let out a sigh of relief: "Young Lady, since the young master has left Anta, I think we should go back home first. This place is too noisy and might be bad for your health."
Lan Luofeng is not a stubborn person. She thought Ling Qin's considerations were very thoughtful, so she nodded and said, "Let's follow Uncle Qin's advice."
The two quickly took the suspended vehicle and left the airport, returning home.
