Chapter 25

The disappearance of Mei Qiu's mecha projection seemed to be a signal, but it was clear that Mingmei discovered this signal a little too late.

Before Mingmei could even react, she suddenly heard Mei Shi and Ming Yi shout in her ear.

"Get out of the way!"

Mingmei: !!

When Mingmei heard the sound, she acted almost without thinking. Her body instinctively controlled the mecha to make the moves she was supposed to make.

At the same time as she dodged, a huge explosion suddenly sounded behind Mingmei.

Immediately afterward, a powerful energy fluctuation directly blasted her moving mecha even further away. She didn't even have time to check on her parents' situation.

In the trembling mecha's camera, Mingmei only saw a purple and a dark gray mecha emerge from the gap blown open in the Zerg encirclement.

One was her second brother's mecha, which Mingmei still recognized, but the other mecha...

"Meimei, retreat immediately."

Her eldest brother's voice came from the mecha's communication channel. Only then did Mingmei realize the origin of the other mecha.

Her eldest brother had never shown his full strength in front of outsiders; Mingmei had never even seen his mecha.

But this time, her eldest brother had actually appeared on the battlefield, and in such a powerful form.

Her eldest brother's mecha had just blasted a gap in the Zerg surrounding them. Mingmei looked at the cannon muzzle on Ming Qi's mecha's left arm, where the light had not completely faded, and she knew the path her eldest brother was taking.

Just like Mu Chen's mecha.

They were both taking the route of weapon attacks, and it was clear that the firepower hidden in her eldest brother's mecha was even more terrifying than Mu Chen's.

This was not just blasting Zergs; if her eldest brother wanted to, he could probably blow up Hua Lan Star with a turn of his head.

"You!"

Feng Yan was so surprised by the sudden change that her mouth hung open. In an instant, the killing intent in her eyes could not be concealed as she looked towards Mingmei.

"Your opponent is me."

Two powerful mental fluctuations exploded not far from Mingmei's mecha. Mingmei watched her second brother unleash his powerful mental power to collide with Feng Yan's, and then charged towards Feng Yan with his mecha. The scene was so fast that Mingmei couldn't even capture it.

In Yan Hui's live broadcast room, the sudden change in the Hua Lan Star battlefield was interrupted due to the sudden end of the video.

[What the heck just happened? What exploded?]

[Oh my god, what happened? Ahhh, why leave us hanging at this time?]

[Did they start fighting? What happened next? Someone tell me!]

[Live broadcast room, please, can you switch back to Hua Lan Star? Don't force me to kneel down and beg you!]

"You people are so impatient?"

Yan Hui and the others knew about the existence of the live broadcast. Watching the chaotic scrolling comments, he knew that Mei Qiu had already taken action when the video was interrupted.

"Forget it, I'll show you some fireworks."

The last scene that could be seen in the live broadcast room was a series of explosions occurring in a strangely colored space.

Feng Yan immediately sensed the moment the last Zerg laboratory was blown up.

A fierce light suddenly burst out in her amethyst-like pupils—"Do you really think my Zerg are easy to bully!?"

Mei Qiu and Ming Qi confronted Feng Yan one after another. Mingmei and Mei Shi did not retreat immediately. When Feng Yan became enraged, the Zergs in the air all entered a state of狂暴 (kuángbào) rage.

Some of the Zergs surrounded Mingmei's family again, while another part, especially on the periphery, attacked Hua Lan Star, causing it to be torn apart!

Mingmei's mind went blank for a moment when she saw the white light from the explosion of Hua Lan Star.

Even though everyone had evacuated successfully, it was still their home that they had painstakingly rebuilt for generations. Even though she knew this was the best-case scenario, it still made her heart ache and her brain throb.

"Ugh..."

For some reason, even though they had successfully evacuated from Hua Lan Star, a group of Hua Lan Star citizens seemed to sense something in the dark. For a moment, everyone turned back to look at the starry sky, tears streaming down their faces...

"Let's go..."

The old woman of the Mu family sighed and raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes. In an instant, her eyes were full of determination, and she continued to direct the Mu family and those protected by the Mu family to evacuate in an orderly manner.

"The future still depends on everyone. Please don't slack off!"

"Yes!"

Rui An and Duo Lun, who were helping Hua Lan Star evacuate, couldn't help but sigh at the admirable spirit of these Hua Lan Star citizens who still maintained a firm mindset in the face of disaster.

"They're so unlucky. They lost Gu Lan Star, and now Hua Lan Star has only been stable for a few hundred years? And now it's gone again."

Except for the words their senior said when giving instructions, Wang Wenfei wished Zhao Zhixian would swallow a gag pill under normal circumstances.

Even though he was just muttering quietly, the Hua Lan Star soldiers who heard him glared at him fiercely.

What kind of person was this?

Even if he was here to help, he shouldn't be making sarcastic remarks, right?

"Senior." Wang Wenfei reached out and pinched Zhao Zhixian, telling him to shut up and get to work.

The pain snapped Zhao Zhixian back to his senses. He looked at the unfriendly gazes of others, including Wang Wenfei.

Zhao Zhixian: 0.0

"Um, let's get to work, quickly, continue to transfer... Where are you all going to settle down now that Hua Lan Star is gone?"

He just wanted to change the subject...

But this was like rubbing salt into someone's wound again, and it earned him another round of angry glares.

"Who said Hua Lan Star is gone?!"

A young boy, who looked like he was still a student based on his clothes, stared at them fiercely with red eyes and said, "Hua Lan Star hasn't disappeared. Where we are is Hua Lan Star!"

As he spoke, tears couldn't help but well up in his eyes. The boy thought he was being fierce, but in their eyes, he looked like a homeless little wolf pup, trying to howl and scare away everything that threatened him.

"Our teacher said that as long as we exist, Hua Lan Star will always exist!"

"That's right!"

As if infected by the boy, a group of children of similar age stood up behind him and repeated their words: "Our existence is proof that Hua Lan Star exists!"

Zhao Zhixian was embarrassed by the group of teenagers' confrontation. He scratched his nose sheepishly, apologized in a low voice, and turned to look at his companions. Seeing that everyone had a strange, speechless look on their faces, he was even more embarrassed.

"Hahahaha, yes, where there's life, there's hope. You are all the hope of Hua Lan Star. That's great, awesome!" He even gave them a thumbs up.

After being awkward for a long time, Zhao Zhixian simply went all in.

Sure enough, his performance earned him another disdainful look from the group of teenagers.

Zhao Zhixian: ...

"The next space transfer must be expedited. It's a fight over there, and Hua Yan Star is not considered safe from Hua Lan Star."

An Rui finally couldn't stand it anymore and helped to ease the situation.

What she said was not false. The distance between here and Hua Lan Star was not absolutely safe, especially if a fight broke out. Who knew how far it would spread?

However, to start a fight when they did, did they really have no concerns?
