Chapter 246 What a Coincidence...

"Oh, what a coincidence..."

Lu Xiaoyao, Mingmei, and Mu Chen were dumbfounded when they arrived at the rendezvous point. Looking at Hu Yue, Li Yuan, Sun Yunzhong, and Dong Lei, the words she spoke were what everyone present was thinking.

Everyone: What a coincidence, everyone's here. :)

It was as if any little thing they did was discovered.

"Who knew? Why is everyone crowding here during this short holiday?"

Dong Lei gave a dry laugh. Lu Xiaoyao's gaze swept over Hu Yue and the other three, and she had a faint guess in her heart.

Hu Yue and Li Yuan were out on a date, just like Mingmei and Mu Chen.

It was normal for Dong Lei to come back since her hometown was on Qilan Star. After all, Dong Lei had said before that she missed home and wanted to go back as soon as the holiday started, so she could eat her mother's hot meals.

The only abnormal one was Sun Yunzhong. Judging from the way he walked over just now, he seemed to have come with Dong Lei?

"Isn't Qilan Star the best planet in the Canglan Star System?" Hu Yue looked at Li Yuan, whose hair had grown quite a bit. She hated the Zerg to the core!

During this period, Li Yuan was either in the mecha design room or helping with mecha repairs. He didn't go out all day. He was even more isolated than he was at school!

Finally, Hu Yue waited for a holiday to take him out, but the Zerg came again!

Although her brother and the Li family had assured her that Li Yuan would not be on the front lines when he came here, Hu Yue wanted to curse through the communicator at this recruitment order!

Who had recruited Li Yuan too?!

Before they could exchange a few greetings, the person in charge of the Sixth Army stationed on Qilan Star arrived.

It was an old acquaintance, Waldo.

Waldo didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing so soon after being transferred here. Even with reinforcements, they had to hold on until they arrived.

The key was that the star citizens on the entire planet hadn't evacuated. Once the defense system was destroyed, all they could do was go up and fight to keep all the Zerg out of the air.

"Good heavens, what are you two doing here?!"

Waldo was dumbfounded when he saw Li Yuan and Hu Yue.

Hu Yue felt uncomfortable being looked at with such a devastated expression by Waldo. It was as if she had come here without knowing the gravity of the situation!

She simply wanted to take Li Yuan on a date, get his hair cut, and buy some clothes!

"Is there anything we can do—" Li Yuan's face changed again and again. This time, the sense of crisis was too strong.

So strong that he felt his jaw trembling when he spoke.

"We can also go!" Finally, Li Yuan forced himself to say it, suppressing the fear in his heart. Waldo wanted to tell him to forget it!

If even Li Yuan had to go into battle, then they would all be buried with Qilan Star!

"Follow me to the Qilan Star garrison area. This isn't an exercise."

Waldo looked at the group of soldiers who were staying here on vacation and sighed in his heart.

Many were young people who liked to have fun, but now they were suddenly facing such a big scene.

He remembered when he first joined the army and followed them to suppress bandits. He almost couldn't handle it, but now the younger generation had to face all this so early.

...

Guangyu Star System, Haiyuan Star Ruins,

Inside the sightseeing starship.

"Wow! Daddy, so cool!"

Leaning against the starship window, a child under the age of five looked at the galaxy outside the window, the light in his eyes reflecting the starlight.

The joy in the child's eyes contrasted sharply with the sadness in the eyes of the father beside him.

In just half a year, the child had forgotten the earth-shattering escape.

And he had forgotten that this place had now turned into fragments scattered in the universe.

In the reflection of the window, the two aliens who shouldn't have appeared were unusually quiet this time.

This sightseeing starship was something Tianma had accidentally seen while browsing the news.

He had noticed it for some reason, and then shared the news with Chi Yu for some reason.

Even though they had only experienced it in the game, the two of them had a strong desire to check it out in reality.

They had secretly prepared for more than half a month before finally coming out. At this moment, the two of them, who should have been worried about being out of place, were surprised to find that everyone else seemed to be not very normal either.

People who had been displaced mustered up the courage to return to the ruins of the planet they once lived on. When they saw that nothing was left outside, one person's uncontrollable cry was like a fuse that broke the levee of everyone's tears.

Even the two of them, who had only lost relatives and friends in the game, couldn't help but feel their eyes redden.

"Daddy, why are those starships flying so fast?"

Children don't understand the suffering of adults. While everyone was sad and sorrowful, the child saw a row of combat starships passing by the sightseeing starship from afar.

"That's...!"

Tianma, who was a soldier in the game, immediately recognized that these starships belonged to the army. And when these starships approached and flew away from their starship, an alarm sounded on the radio.

"Attention all passengers, due to an emergency, this trip will end and return immediately. Please return to your seats immediately. Wormhole jump will begin in ten minutes."

Combining what happened just now, everyone's expressions gradually turned ugly.

Passerby A: "Is there another fight somewhere?"

Passerby B: "Probably. Didn't you see those starships coming out?"

Tianma and Chi Yu sat obediently in their seats. Tianma used his special optical brain to search for relevant sensitive information.

Just as he was happy that he knew what was going on, the next second he saw a broadcast from Qilan Star. When he saw the "familiar" faces in the camera, he immediately cursed.

"Damn it! My boss is trapped!"

Immediately afterward, Tianma stood up in Chi Yu's surprised gaze, muttering to himself, "No, I have to save my boss."
