Chapter 215
Drobuk closed his eyes.
His body slid down weakly, Rong Yuan hugged him tightly and pressed his head towards himself, as if trying to catch the dying soul.
"Booker...Booker...Booker..."
There were low and hoarse calls, but no one could hear them.
Pea stared at it in a daze, feeling deeply saddened.
I want to cry.
But it has no tears.
Suddenly, Rong Yuan felt something light in his hand, and found that it was Drobk's body that was rapidly dissipating like flying ash, as if time was taking back this person who should have died ninety years ago. Rong Yuan hurriedly reached out to grab it, but saw the fine ash floating between his fingers.
In the end, he caught nothing.
At this moment, a bright light suddenly flashed before his eyes. Rong Yuan looked down and saw that it was a gem that appeared after Drobuk's body disappeared. Its smooth cross-section reflected the brilliant light in the distance.
The light is bright and dazzling.
It floated quietly in front of Rong Yuan, like the quiet and gentle eyes of that person in the past.
Rong Yuan stretched out his hand and the gem fell into his palm.
Between my fingers, I can still feel the warmth of the embrace.
A tear fell on the gem, and tiny water droplets reflected the light and splashed all around.
Alpha stood upright in front of the window with a long snow-white towel draped over his arm.
There are fires everywhere on Suikasao now, and more than 80% of the important functional parts have come to a standstill. The only energy, except for the necessary lighting and daily necessities, is basically used to supply the battles inside and outside the spacecraft. Naturally, the meaningless holographic projection has stopped long ago.
But Alpha stood in front of the window, his eyes focused, and there seemed to be a faint light flowing, as if he really saw something.
In fact, he can indeed "see".
After Rong Yuan destroyed the so-called "intelligent brain Ochi" of Liukasao, the entire spacecraft was actually controlled by Alpha, which was the real intelligent brain of Liukasao at this time.
He saw that Rong Yuan and Drobuk had intentionally or unintentionally destroyed more than half of the pirates' warships and countless pirates during the battle, which finally turned the tide in the resistance battle led by Yin Mu, including the Fighting Department, the Supervisory Department, Lao Xia and others, as well as some adventure groups that came to help spontaneously.
He saw that the riots inside and outside the protection zone had finally subsided. It was not because any one force had finally gained the upper hand, but because the tragic deaths made people feel a deeper fear beyond their fear of the pirates, so they gradually regained their calm and rationality. However, the atmosphere was still like standing on a powder keg that was about to be ignited , ready to explode at any moment.
He also saw people starting to stand up in every place, some were the original managers of Liukasao, some were adventurers who happened to be here for vacation, some were students who were still studying, some were members of the fighting department who did not go to the battlefield, and some were even members of black violence gangs. They used persuasion, appeasement, coercion, or cruel means to drive the chaotic crowds back home like lost lambs, clear the streets, organize people to send the wounded for treatment, etc. Some people may not do so well, and their thoughts are not comprehensive, but even if they simply maintain order, they are equivalent to saving countless lives.
Some people took up arms to protect their wives and children, while others laid down their weapons to maintain order. Some people impulsively wanted to fight with space pirates, some people fought with gangsters who took advantage of the fire to rob, some people abandoned their loved ones and escaped alone, and some people worked tirelessly to save others. Some people died, some people wept, and some people emerged and surpassed their peers!
He watched all kinds of people quietly without saying a word.
People mean nothing to him. The only person he cares about is one person.
Behind him, Shadao and Banjin were still discussing the situation outside in a low voice. Shadao wanted to go out to help several times, but was stopped by Banjin every time.
To Ban Jin, Alpha was just a complete stranger. If Shardao left, the lives of the three of them, old (Muter), weak (Ban Jin himself), and sick (Xi Yanxin), would not be in their hands, so they were naturally worried.
Of course, he was more worried about Shardaao. The situation outside was so chaotic, and Shardaao had no guns or cannons, and even no better protective clothing. What if he ran out and got killed?
Banjin has neither the ability nor the heart to be a hero. He is satisfied as long as everyone he cares about is safe and sound.
Of course, he couldn't say this to Shark Dao. He just begged and pleaded with Shark Dao for the safety of the three of them, and refused to let him go.
The two were worried that if pirates really broke in, such a small safe house might no longer be safe.
Only Alpha knew that although the Singer Pirates were aggressive and brutal enough to make a child cry at night, they were destined to be just a passing cloud. When the battle over there was over, no matter who won, this pirate group would be wiped out from the world.
At this time, the door behind them opened quietly, and Muter helped the pale and weak Xi Yanxin out of the bathroom. Shadao and Banjin hurriedly surrounded her, wanting to help her carefully but not daring to. They just escorted Xi Yanxin from the left and right to lie on the bed.
Earlier, Alpha said that he needed the girl's help with something. They watched the girl follow Alpha's instructions and lie in a medical cabin in the bedroom, wearing a strange-looking helmet and electrodes on her body. Muter stayed by her side, and the other three stayed in the room outside.
At first, Xi Yanxin had been lying quietly, and everyone thought she was just undergoing treatment or some kind of test, and they were all very relaxed. Who knew that a few minutes later, Xi Yanxin suddenly screamed, and then began to vomit and convulse violently, with an inhuman scream coming out of her throat, and her hands subconsciously waving and scratching in front of her. If Alpha hadn't controlled her hands in time, she would have scratched her throat!
The other three were completely frightened and stunned. Before they could react, the girl's body suddenly bounced back as if she was electrocuted and fell heavily into the medical cabin.
She was unconscious for more than half a minute. After waking up, she started vomiting and convulsing again. Cold sweat broke out all over her body and she was completely unable to speak. However, the degree of her symptoms was much less than before, as if it was some kind of sequelae.
Alpha didn't explain anything, he just helped her drink two bottles of medicine and gave her an injection. After seeing that her condition had improved a little, he asked Muter to help her go to the bathroom to wash up and change into clean and comfortable clothes.
Banjin and the other two were obviously very dissatisfied and even angry with Alpha, angry that his so-called "help" had brought so much pain to the girl, and even the gratitude for being saved by Alpha before had faded a lot. But the two were obviously adults who had been repeatedly polished by society and would not easily express their emotions. Especially since Alpha and Xi Yanxin had known each other before, the two had already made an agreement, and Xi Yanxin herself did not have any unwilling emotions, so there was no need for outsiders like them to question anything on their own initiative.
Although rest is the most important thing for Xi Yanxin at the moment, she has to admit that this simple tidying up is what she wants most. After cleaning up, she was obviously much more relaxed in front of the few people. The girl lay on the bed and immediately looked at Alpha and asked, "How is he...? Did I help?"
"Of course, you have helped a lot." Alpha leaned over and said gently, "Now please have a good rest. I think the master will be back soon."
"Is he okay?" Xi Yanxin asked anxiously.
"It won't be completely fine, but I will definitely return safely."
"That's good." Xi Yanxin breathed a sigh of relief, but then said in annoyance, "I'm sorry... I, I should have held on a little longer! I think I caught him! But... oh, I'm so bad!"
"That's not true." Alpha said softly, "You are very brave and strong. The master must think so too."
"Master?" Ban Jin winked at Shard'ao and said silently, thinking: What kind of ancient title ? What era is it now? Are there still people who are willing to be lowly and become servants?
It was as if Muter had eyes on the back of her head, and she knew everything Banjin was thinking and doing. She turned around and glared at Banjin fiercely. Banjin subconsciously shrank his neck and lowered his head obediently.
Alpha knew all about the lawsuit behind him, but he didn't care whether Banjin and others feared, respected, or despised him. If Xi Yanxin hadn't helped Rong Yuan, he wouldn't have been able to treat him gently.
Suddenly, Alpha "saw" two space pirate mechas that were about to break through the defense line outside the spaceship suddenly exploded into a ball of sparks. Several people around who were fighting with them were stunned and looked at each other blankly, not knowing who had done it.
Afterwards, one after another, the mechas, battleships, and spaceships belonging to the star pirates were named one by one and turned into fireworks!
Like blooming flowers, or like candles that are lit one by one, they form a winding star road in the dark sky.
Just by looking at this method, Alpha knew that Rong Yuan was the final winner.
He breathed a sigh of relief in a very human way, and then smiled sincerely.
At this moment, Xi Yanxin's bracelet suddenly made a rapid beeping sound, which was unique to emergency communications. As soon as she answered the call, she heard her mother's hoarse and desperate cry from the other side: "Xinxin, your father...your father..."
