Chapter 142

Da Yao never thought she would die here, but seeing that the medicine couldn't congeal her wound, she gave a miserable, pitiful smile.

She didn't die from the Xingyan insect venom, but encountered an insect venom that disrupted blood clotting?

"The emergency supplies are useless..."

The hemostatic equipment that hadn't been needed for Mandison seemed to have no effect on her wound now, so was a guaranteed death the end for this character?

Da Yao looked at the corpse of the hidden Zerg she had killed not far away and thought darkly. Wouldn't this guy get beaten by the people around him after logging off?

Thinking of this funny scene, Da Yao couldn't help but chuckle, then frowned and sucked in a breath of cold air. It had pulled at the wound!

Da Yao panicked, slowly leaning against the wall of the corridor, sliding down to sit. She looked down again at the insect core in her blood-stained palm.

Da Yao raised the energy-filled insect core, her gaze a little blurred in the light, but the next second, she suddenly stood up as if in a final burst of energy, dragging her dripping blood towards the cabin, muttering, "Energy crystal substitute... I've found it..."

[What is Zai Zai doing?]

[Holy crap! Manually cutting the insect core of a high-level Zerg?]

[I'll go, the insect core is the combination of a large amount of spirit and energy of the Zerg. Usually, to use it, it must be operated by a professional with a very high mental level using a special machine for cutting energy stones in a closed space. Because carelessness can cause an explosion.]

[Hiss! I remember Zai Zai's mental level is above S-level, right? I don't know exactly how many S's, but maybe she really has the ability?]

[I've heard that people with very high mental power can actually materialize their mental power, right?]

[What's the use of that? She has no experience.]

[She doesn't, but her game character, Saviel, does!]

Just as the barrage was filled with comments about Da Yao now holding the insect core in her hand, condensing her own mental power to frantically reshape the insect core in the center of her palm, in the lens, the character's own golden hair was visibly turning white, gradually losing its luster, becoming dry and frizzy.

And when Ming Mei resolved the matters behind her and arrived at Da Yao's location, the other party was already sitting in a chair, her whole body seemingly devoid of all life.

Just as Ming Mei appeared, the body in the chair suddenly moved slightly. Ming Mei took two steps forward and tightly grasped the other's hand.

She had already seen everything that had happened through the live broadcast.

Da Yao had exhausted the mental power in her body to re-polish the insect core. When she grasped her hand, Ming Mei felt the warmth in her hand.

Looking down, a smooth insect core was in her hand. The next second, Da Yao also put her space button into Ming Mei's hand.

"The starship... is everything resolved?" Da Yao asked Ming Mei weakly.

"Yes, all the Zerg have been captured."

Hearing Ming Mei's answer, Da Yao smiled weakly and murmured, "So, I'm really lucky to have met you~"

Ming Mei heard this and returned a not-so-beautiful smile, saying, "No, I'm very lucky to have met you." Otherwise, she would have been driven crazy by Lu Xiaoyao.

Even though she knew this was just a game, and everyone would meet again in reality after logging off, Ming Mei still couldn't help but feel sad this time.

"Going to Changping Port... will expose that we have seen through the hidden Zerg's plan..." Da Yao stared at Ming Mei seriously, and said, "Take it back, take the Canglang mech back to join the battle."

Da Yao smiled, feeling a sticky, warm liquid uncontrollably wanting to come out of her mouth, and said, "I, ah, don't want to become a sinner in this war... Even if, in the end, only General Mei is left... If there's a chance, I really want to meet my idol."

Da Yao finished her half-joking words and slowly closed her eyes. Ming Mei watched the panel of the player Lu Xiaoyao in the game backend turn gray.

Ming Mei looked up in a daze at Lu Xiaoyao's darkened live broadcast room, originally wanting to see the life of the character she played, but—

There was nothing.

Ming Mei: ???

[What does this mean? My Zai Zai bravely logged off, and then... nothing?]

[No way, is it so biased? When the other player logged off, there was a character's life story, but this... why doesn't this Saviel have one?]

[What a坑爹!]

Then, a belated sentence floated in from the blacked-out live broadcast room—a sentence from an official administrator:

[According to official confirmation, mech repairman Saviel Moslier is still alive, so there will be no introduction to his life.]

Everyone: !!!!

Ming Mei: ???

[So... is it because my daughter is too lousy and played the character to death?]

[Ah, it seems like that's the case =.=]

[Our daughter isn't too lousy, right? At least... at least she tricked us into shedding some tears?]

[Is the person in front trying to say that we are also quite stupid?]

[Don't think like that...]

Ming Mei looked at the words in the barrage with complex emotions. The sadness that had just arisen disappeared instantly.

She didn't know whether to laugh or cry!

Just then, Ming Mei's communicator received a message from Muchen.

[Look outside—Muchen.]

Ming Mei turned her head and looked through the porthole of the cabin. In the boundless, pitch-black, deep universe, a dazzling white light burst out and was approaching them. When she could see clearly, Ming Mei saw a silver-white mech landing next to their starship.

Soon, Muchen appeared in the starship. The moment he saw Ming Mei, the expression on Muchen's face instantly melted away like ice and snow. He walked up to Ming Mei in a few steps and looked her up and down before simply asking, "Is everything alright?"

"Yes." Ming Mei nodded, not saying much, and directly handed the mech and the insect core that had been made into an energy core, which Da Yao had just given her, to Muchen, saying, "Take it back. Find a suitable owner for it during the great battle later."

Putting away the space button and the insect core, Muchen's eyes flickered slightly. He looked at Ming Mei and asked again, "What about you? Do you want to come with me?"

Hearing the other party's question, Ming Mei's heart stirred. She turned to meet his serious eyes and asked, "If I want to, would you really take me back?"

She remembered how she had been sent to the starship today.

"If you want to." After saying that, Muchen even reached out his hand to Ming Mei, "If you want to go back, I'll take you back."

It was just that if his answer had come sooner, Ming Mei would have nodded and reached out her hand, going back with him to be a first-hand witness.

But now, she couldn't.

"No."

Ming Mei curved her lips and shook her head, looking down at Da Yao's body and silently said, "I still have things to do."

Suddenly, Ming Mei heard Muchen's laughter, and then he said, "There's a deserted star closest to this route, and there's a belt of meteorites on the outer layer of this deserted star, which is very good for cover. However, the surrounding magnetic field is very chaotic, and there's a risk of losing contact if you're not careful."

"Thank you." Understanding that Muchen already knew what she was thinking, Ming Mei looked up and smiled at him, and asked, "Is this what I... is this what Vice-General Mei means?"

"Yes, I guess."

[Why don't I understand? What's going on?]

[Aren't they returning? Isn't this supposed to be a hero saving a beauty?]

[This... listening to these words, it seems that the businesswoman is going to take the starship off course!]

[Ah! Why? What exactly is going on? Did I miss a section of these two people's conversation?]

[You idiot! This starship must not be able to return! There are so many hidden Zergs eyeing it, this starship was originally part of the Zerg's plan, once it returns, wouldn't it be blatantly telling these Zergs that they've been exposed?]

[So what?]

[So, this starship can only show up after the events at the Sigma military fortress are over!]

[Then... did this starship appear later?]

[...It doesn't seem like I've heard of it.]

After Muchen finished speaking, he stood there without moving, just looking at Ming Mei. Ming Mei looked up, and the two looked at each other for a few minutes without saying anything.

After a long time, Ming Mei saw that the other party didn't seem to be leaving, and raised her hand to pat his arm to remind him to pay attention, this was a game, but saw the other party suddenly ask her again, "After things are over, do you want to go to Changping Starport together to look at houses?"

Ming Mei: "Ah... okay~"

Muchen seemed to be really hung up on that house, still remembering it.

[Help! Is this a knife?!]

[A huge knife! I can't take it anymore! In the Battle of Sigma, in the end, only General Mei Qiu was left, and this starship, sob sob sob... I haven't heard any related news either! Doesn't this mean...]

[People can't be chopping boards and keep taking knives! Think on the bright side... doesn't a double death count as an alternative happy ending?]

[The person in front, are you poisonous?!]
