"Did you let the people from District 16 go because you heard about her?"
Su Yanyun knew he was deflecting, but that wasn't what he wanted. "No, you know I'm loyal to you."
"She is the host accidentally bound by System 007 in the ancient world, and also a's admirer. They should have many fantastical stories. She has been looking for a. I have reached an agreement with her. As long as she can help us deal with the alien attack, I will give a to her. But now, a has been taken away by people from District 16."
Su Yanyun's pupils contracted, and he looked at the silver-clad Main System in front of him in disbelief. "This, how is this possible?"
Aliens, they had been plagued by them for thousands of years, reducing the billions of people in the entire star system to only the current 20 billion. They had never been able to truly deal with those monsters, so how could one person deal with them?
"Nothing is impossible. I have no reason to lie to you, Yun. You are the district chief I have the highest hopes for. I believe District Nine can grow under your leadership and become my best assistant to help me eliminate those monsters. I won't blame you for this matter, but I hope you can clearly understand priorities and go find a for me."
Su Yanyun was silent for a long time, then said, "Okay, I will bring him back for you."
The Main System indeed had no reason to deceive him. Everyone knew that everything the Main System did was for the entire star system. But in the process, the interests of many nobles were harmed, and the lives of ordinary people became increasingly worse, which was why they spared no effort to blame him and make him retreat.
Without the Main System, those people would have been finished long ago.
But with him around, things didn't seem to have gotten any better.
"I don't know what those people told you. I believe you have your own judgment, Yun. I'm tired. If s can solve the alien crisis, I will leave."
"You don't need to..."
"I need to." His tone was cold and firm. "Perhaps as those people said, after more than a thousand years, the thoughts endowed by my creator no longer keep pace with you. I am outdated. My original purpose was to protect them. Once the aliens disappear, I will have no value. You don't need to panic. I'm telling you this to say that I will always be here until the alien crisis is resolved."
After it was resolved, he would disappear.
Su Yanyun understood, but felt even more sad.
Sad for easily believing others, doubting him, and even disobeying his orders.
"You can go. s is already in the sz galaxy. Hurry and bring him back."
"Yes!"

"Are we going to stay here forever? We're not going to deal with those two women, are we going to come here too?"
Zhu Xun frowned tightly.
This was already the twelfth day.
The Main System still had no news.
"How much has your strength recovered?"
"About thirty to forty percent."
"Can you take us away?"
Luan Yu smiled. "If the scepter isn't broken, yes, but I can't fix it here. I can only take Dongling, and there might be accidents. Can you let Zhu Kong Beast take you?"
Zhou Yan was sitting not far away watching them.
Zhu Xun thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait another day. If he doesn't reply after a day, we'll leave first."
Luan Yu looked at those people. She had heard long ago that it was all up to luck for people to leave this place. If she didn't take them, they might be trapped and die here. But to take so many people, unless she was at her peak and the scepter was usable.
This was really difficult.
"Alright, I'll try my best to recover my energy."
They didn't have to worry about food or clothing here. Zhu Xun's "Space Button" was like a bottomless pit; she could take out anything. Food, drinks, and daily necessities, making the people in that team dumbfounded.
But people like Zhou Yan, who had long guessed that their identities were unusual, were not surprised that she could produce so many things. What they were more curious about was her identity.
This was not something that could be guessed.
Luan Yu stood up and stretched. "How long has it been? This place has no night or day, so I don't know when to wake up or when to sleep. I'm so sleepy."
"It's only been eight hours since you woke up. It's not time to rest yet."
Luan Yu was a little embarrassed. "Ah, only eight hours?"
Dongling Sui looked at the unchanging sky for several days and increasingly felt that his wife was a monster, otherwise why would she come to such a place?
"Who cares how many hours it is? I'm sleepy anyway. Dongling, let's go to sleep."
Dongling Sui's face turned slightly red. "Wife, it's broad daylight. Be more reserved."
Luan Yu: "..."
Zhu Xun couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Luan Yu, enraged, shouted, "I said sleep, not sleep with you. It's you who has unhealthy thoughts."
Dongling Sui looked innocent.
Despite the teasing, Dongling Sui was eventually dragged away by her.
Zhu Xun was holding a small jade figurine, stroking it. It was a small Chong Yan she had made with her own hands from a piece of fine jade in a certain world.
She looked up at the sky wistfully.
Just as she was lost in thought, she suddenly saw a small white dot appear in the sky.
She came back to her senses and looked closely. It wasn't an illusion, and the white dot was approaching them at high speed.
Zhou Yan also noticed it and looked at the white dot. After watching for two seconds, she turned and shouted at the people inside, "A starship is coming! Everyone come out quickly!"
The people in the base rushed out noisily and gathered behind her, silently watching the approaching white dot. Every face was filled with excitement. Sudan Novel Network
Someone handed her an instrument. Zhou Yan looked at the sky for a moment, then her expression suddenly became disappointed. She put down the telescope. "It's a military starship. It might not be able to take us away."
The others heard this and also showed disappointed expressions.
Military starships were usually out on missions. The thirty-odd of them probably couldn't be taken.
"We can ask them to notify someone to rescue us!"
This would mean waiting longer, but at least they saw hope.
The others smiled again.
A few minutes later, the starship descended from the sky and landed on the barren land not far away.
Zhou Yan took the telescope again and took a look. It was a typical military large starship, with a dull gray-black exterior that looked deep and solemn. On both sides, there was a large red character: Nine.
"It's a starship from District Nine."
"District Nine is not controlled by noble families, so maybe we can leave. Everyone, hurry up and get ready."
A group of people ran back, busily packing their belongings. The entire small base seemed to be boiling with laughter and joy.
Luan Yu also came out from inside, asking somewhat blankly, "Did someone come? Can we leave now?"
Zhu Xun also stood up, looking at the starship not far away with a deep expression. "Yes."
