Chapter 544: Separation
On the control panel, the star map shines.
The old collector looked solemn as he slowly moved his finger across the star map, drawing out a relatively safe route.
"This route should be relatively safe."
The starry sky is vast and boundless.
Unless they are extremely unlucky, they should not encounter the forces of destruction again.
Trying to find a single warship in the vast starry sky is like trying to find a grain of sand in the ocean.
Of course, they cannot take it lightly.
The forces of destruction will not rest.
For the rest of their journey, they must avoid areas with developed civilizations. Even if they want to rest, they can only choose uninhabited or deserted planets.
After all, any civilization in this star field may be controlled by the forces of destruction.
"Alas, I never thought that among our Su brothers, there would be a guy with a dark heart."
Cowboy Xia shook his head and sighed, not understanding the choice of the man who destroyed Xia.
He is a hopeful and positive person.
He prefers salvation and rebirth rather than destruction.
What if after destroying everything, the real world does not appear and only nothingness remains?
Wouldn't you regret it to death?
"There must be a better way to judge the truth and falsehood of this world. Perhaps the way lies in this world-seeking machine."
Cowboy Xia sat in the cab, glanced at Silent Xia in the corner, and asked, "Brother Silent, what do you think?"
"Um."
Silent Xia didn't say much, still expressionless, and just uttered "hmm" lightly as his answer.
He is as cold and indifferent as the one who destroyed Xia.
But there are many differences between the two.
The indifference of Silent Summer is mixed with a hint of closure, as if one wants to lock oneself in a lonely world and does not want to have any contact with the outside world.
And the indifference that destroyed summer was accompanied by a hint of madness that would do anything at all costs.
What is certain is that both of them have many stories hidden in their hearts.
Their experiences in their respective worlds have shaped their current personalities.
"Let's go, keep on going, I hope we don't run into that guy again!"
Cowboy Xia made a simple inspection of the spacecraft and found no major problems, so he started the engine and headed towards the star field of the Seventh Empire along the route planned by the old collector.
Only when they reach the Imperial Star Territory and enter the protection range of the Imperial Deep Air Legion can they be truly safe.
The rest of the journey went smoothly.
For the first three months, the group did not encounter any trouble.
I have to say that old collectors are indeed very experienced, and having an old piece in the home is like having a treasure.
During these three months, everyone had nothing to do and continued to study the world-seeking machine.
"What kind of energy is this broken machine powered by?"
Cowboy Xia circled around the boundary-seeking machine again and again, but still couldn't figure out what it was doing.
The appearance of this machine is so shabby, as if it was forcibly welded together from a pile of industrial waste.
If you only look at its appearance, it is hard to imagine that it is the boundary-seeking machine that countless deep space forces are looking for.
"The legend about it has been around for at least hundreds of millions of years, right?" Cowboy Xia counted on his fingers, thinking, "What kind of energy source can sustain a machine for hundreds of millions of years? Even dark matter can't do it. Can it absorb energy on its own?"
As he said this, he stretched out his hand and wanted to touch the machine.
But when he thought of those strange and bizarre legends, his hand stopped in mid-air and he was reluctant to put it down.
After all, the reason why he came to this world might be because Su Xia once touched this machine.
"After I touch it, will it send me back to my original world?"
Cowboy Xia wasn't sure.
Being sent back to the original world would naturally be the best, but we have to be prepared for the worst.
What if you are sent to some weird world?
Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the world of Silent Xia and Destruction Xia... Just looking at the personalities of these two people, you can tell that their world must not be very good.
After thinking it over, Cowboy Xia gave up.
He sat back at the console, propped up his chin, bored.
"Oh, I miss my wife."
Cowboy Xia sighed and said miserably.
After a while, he was really bored and turned to chat with Su Xia.
"Brother, if you have the chance in the future, you must come to my world. I will introduce those brothers to you one by one."
"Yeah, okay."
Su Xia nodded and responded casually.
Cowboy Xia added: "Those guys will definitely be surprised to see another me. When the time comes, I will tell them that you are my long-lost brother."
"Yeah, okay." Su Xia looked calm and dealt with it casually.
Cowboy Xia didn't seem to notice Su Xia's response and became more and more excited as he spoke.
He talked incessantly, imagining the future.
His chatterbox nature is back and he can't stop talking.
“We can still collaborate.
“Let’s fight against the Empire together, rob the Empire’s mines, destroy the Empire’s laboratories, and free the enslaved workers.
"We can also come up with a separate title, called 'Dragon Brothers and Tiger Brothers', haha..."
The next two months were spent by everyone listening to this chatterbox's voice.
Su Xia and Silent Xia were both annoyed by the talk.
Even the old collector was annoyed to the point of wanting to hit someone. The poor old man couldn't even sleep well as he could still hear this guy nagging in the middle of the night.
Because the spaceship belongs to Cowboy Xia, he has the highest authority and can enter and exit any cabin and chat with a few people at any time.
Fortunately, there are only two or three months left in the journey.
Just get through it.
However, nothing seems to be going smoothly in this world.
Just a few days later, when the spacecraft sailed into a beautiful sea of stars, they once again encountered the destructive forces.
But this time, the other party was well prepared.
Before Cowboy Xia could activate the warp function, the opponent's attack arrived.
“Boom!”
A beam of high-energy particle ray passed by the left wing of the spacecraft at an extremely terrifying speed.
In an instant, the spacecraft was half destroyed!
The ship shook violently, indicator lights in the cockpit flashed, warning sounds were shrill, and two of the four engines were completely destroyed, making it no longer possible to perform a jump.
At the same time, deep in the distant sea of stars, beautiful spots of light representing planets began to twinkle.
The light spot slowly approached and became brighter and brighter.
Upon closer inspection, those light spots were not planets at all, but glowing warships!
They actually disguised themselves as a sea of stars!
The destruction fleet emerged, covering the sky and the earth, tens of thousands of them, blocking every possible direction of escape.
In the spaceship, Cowboy Xia's face suddenly changed, and he shouted: "This spaceship is unusable. Let's get on the escape ship and act separately. The escape ship can travel a short distance once!"
"good!"
In times of crisis, no one hesitated.
The four people boarded different escape ships respectively.
The next moment, the spacecraft disintegrated with a bang, turning into countless fragments drifting in the starry sky.
Four streams of light flashed by and successfully passed out.
The escape begins !
The escape ship can only travel short distances.
Whether or not you can escape the blockade of the Destruction Fleet depends entirely on luck.
Just one day later, the escape ship carrying the old collector was captured by the enemy.
And Cowboy Xia didn't get far.
In fact, he was very lucky and directly passed through the blockade of the Destruction Fleet.
But he did not choose to leave. Instead, he drove the escape ship back to attract the attention of the Destruction Fleet and buy time for Su Xia.
"Hopefully they can escape..."
Cowboy Xia's eyes were firm, and he was determined to use himself as bait.
The result of doing this will naturally not be very good.
A few days later, on a small civilized planet, his escape ship burned across the sky like a dying meteor.
“Boom boom—”
The escape ship landed heavily on the ground with a hard landing at an extremely high speed, leaving a trace of thousands of meters on the ground.
Finally, the shabby ship stopped in a golden wheat field.
The surface of the ship was pitch black, the hull was distorted, and black smoke was constantly emitting.
“Crack!”
The hatch was opened.
Cowboy Xia looked pale, covering his wound, and staggered out of the escape cabin.
His condition is very bad.
With every step he took, his body trembled, leaving a bloody footprint on the ground.
In his abdomen, there was a huge piece of debris that originally belonged to the ship's display screen. It later broke during the crash and pierced his torso.
“Cough… cough cough…”
Cowboy Xia coughed violently several times and his face turned even paler.
His body was shaking, his steps were getting heavier, and he walked more than ten meters in the wheat field with difficulty.
The loss of blood made his body gradually colder and his consciousness became increasingly blurred.
"call……"
A gust of wind suddenly blew, countless ears of wheat swayed, and the wind carried the fragrance of wheat.
Cowboy Xia was in a trance for a moment, stopped, and let the breeze brush across his pale cheeks.
He fell down.
The thick wheat ears spread behind him, very soft.
The weakness coming from his limbs made him realize that he could no longer stand up.
He just lay in the golden wheat field, feeling the passing of life, his pupils gradually dilating.
Before his consciousness completely dissipated, he suddenly remembered his home in his original world.
Although the house was shabby, it was very warm, just like this wheat field.
There are people waiting for him at home.
He stretched out his bloodstained hand with difficulty and reached towards the endless sky, as if trying to grab something.
Suddenly, a girl's voice seemed to float in the wind.
"Su Xia, have you found the wheat field in your heart ?"
