109 “(Quick Travel) Meat Eating Journey” Chapter 108
byChapter 108 Science Fiction‧Prostitution Imperial Major General (2)
There were corpses all over the ground.
She lay limply in the dirty mud, and the man who had just died at her feet was staring at her stiffly in the dazzling firelight with wide eyes.Another gust of wind hit, and the bombers were hovering in mid-air, and the bombs they kept dropping shook the entire slum.
She could no longer hear the sounds clearly. The screams of adults and the cries of children seemed to have become a distant background. Only the muffled thunderous roar kept ringing, occasionally mixed with one or two sharp stabs – she knew that was the sound made when a kinetic sniper rifle fired a bullet.The men in brown military uniforms were advancing silently and orderly towards this area, just like farmers cutting rice and wheat, harvesting the lives of innocent civilians one after another.
I’m going to die… the girl thought aimlessly. Her fourteenth birthday that just passed last month seemed to be around the corner, but the peace of the past was gone forever.What did I do wrong?…What did we do wrong?
Growing up in a slum, the poor life that was once despised by everyone has become a luxury at this moment. Born as an ant, even death is so contemptible.She hoped that someone would come to save her, but she knew that no one would come.
Finally, she heard the sound of heavy footsteps, and the shiny black gun appeared in her field of vision, with the muzzle raised and pointed directly at her eyebrows.
Farewell…she didn’t even know who to say goodbye to, so be it…so be it…
The bullet created a dazzling spark in the air – she closed her eyes.Suddenly, another clear buzzing sound exploded, and the silver light was like a swift meteor. It divided the girl’s field of vision, split the bullet into two, and accurately embedded itself in the throat of the bullet’s owner.
The man’s tall and slender figure moved from far to near. He casually kicked away the sniper rifle that fell on the ground, leaned down, and pulled out the thing stuck in the soldier’s throat.The girl’s eyes widened in horror. She was surprised to find that it was just a piece of iron!What kind of strength and precision can be used to kill a heavily armed soldier with an iron piece? And if this person wants to kill her, it is as easy as squeezing an ant to death.
But the man seemed to read her thoughts, “Don’t be afraid.” She heard a calm voice, “I’m here to save you.”
The man bent down slightly, and his face hidden in the dim light became clearer and clearer – she was about to see it!She was about to see it!He has a pair –
Golden brown eyes.
“Ah!——”
Ye Xuan suddenly woke up from her sleep, panting rapidly, and large drops of cold sweat rolled down her forehead.
She was dreaming again. Since arriving on the Xihe, she had been dreaming about the memories of her fourteenth year mixed with blood and fire almost every night.It was like when she had just been rescued from the rebels’ gunfire, she had been dreaming all night long. The dream was full of blood, corpses, gunshots… and that person.
The person who saved her was the person she had longed for and been looking for for seven years.
Ye Xuan couldn’t help but smile bitterly. Who would have thought that she would have been secretly in love with a Pure Blood for so many years.From the moment she saw Ke Xiu, she knew that her love would only end in vain.
“Good morning, Lieutenant Ye, the regular meeting will start in half an hour.” The AI’s voice sounded at the right time, bringing Ye Xuan back to reality from her confused memories.
Getting up, dressing, washing… half a month passed, and Ye Xuan became familiar with life on board the Xihe.After two space jumps, the battleship is already five million light years away from the solar system. It will take about three days of voyage for the Xihe to reach the Emerald Galaxy.
The Cosmic Era has entered its 600th year. Today’s humans have already extended their footprints to all directions in the vast universe. The Emerald Galaxy is just one of the many galaxies explored by humans.It is very far away from the solar system, and no advanced intelligent life has been discovered so far. Apart from explorers, only scientific researchers are willing to travel through wormholes to visit it.Such innate conditions also created a problem for the Empire Nebula.
Ye Xuan came to the conference room, opened the door, and saw Ke Xiu sitting at the top of the long table, wearing a straight black military uniform, and his golden brown eyes were calm, indifferent and indifferent.On his left and right hands, there were people lined up from the deputy captain to the gunnery commander.Seeing Ye Xuan enter the door, they either raised their heads, squinted their eyes, or pulled a little smile at the corners of their mouths.But without exception, they all had the same cold and arrogant aura as Ke Xiu.
“Everyone is here, let’s get started.” The man tapped his slender index finger on the table, and a holographic battle map popped up directly above the conference table. In the star field belonging to the Emerald Galaxy, a large red light spot was flashing continuously.
That is the radar logo representing the Farrel Planetary Alliance (FPA). Since the declaration of independence twelve years ago, the FPA has been in exile in the star system outside the empire’s territory. Through wars and conspiracies, it has caused a lot of trouble to the empire.Fortunately, the continuous siege and suppression greatly weakened the FPA’s vitality. The fleet that fled to the Emerald Galaxy was already the last large-scale combat force of the FPA.
Since the Emerald Galaxy is far away, the deployment of the integrated fleet will consume a lot of manpower and material resources. After some back-and-forth between the Military Ministry and the House of Representatives, in the end the Military Ministry could only send the Xihe to carry out the task of destroying the FPA fleet.
For Xihehao, this is not a difficult matter.Not to mention that this battleship has rich combat experience, and with its stellar combat capabilities alone, the railgun equipped on the ship can destroy one-third of the fleet’s combat power with one hit.Therefore, everyone on the boat, including Ye Xuan, acted very relaxed.After the routine combat meeting, the officers left the conference room in groups. Ye Xuan was the last one to stand up and silently followed Ke Xiu.
After half a month of getting along, Ye Xuan had already figured out the major general’s character – at least the character he showed in front of others.Ke Xiu doesn’t like small talk, jokes, quarrels, or anything that he thinks is vulgar, boring, meaningless, and aesthetically pleasing.He always speaks and behaves gracefully, like a clock that runs accurately, or a cold and indifferent sculpture – he is a typical pure-blood aristocrat, outstanding, powerful, mysterious, low-key, and also very boring.
Unfortunately, this is the type Ye Xuan hates the most.
Thinking that the original person would have been secretly in love with such a person for seven years, Ye Xuan had to sigh. Memory is indeed the most intoxicating anesthetic.In fact, the original person did not love Ke Xiu, but the man who rescued her from a pool of blood when she was most desperate.
That was the most powerful hero in Ye Xuan’s heart, supporting her in struggling out of poverty and injuries, climbing all the way up, and finally reaching where she is today.In those pale years, Ye Xuan had imagined countless times what that man would be like.He might be gentle, or he might be full of the coldness of a soldier, but in any case, he would never be like Ke Xiu.
The two returned to Ke Xiu’s captain’s cabin. Ye Xuan turned on the communicator and began to report military affairs to Ke Xiu as usual.Although he was five million light years away, Ke Xiu still had many official duties to deal with as the commander of the Fifth Military Region.These complicated affairs test people’s logic and ability to analyze information. Listening to Ye Xuan’s methodical voice, the cold expression on Ke Xiu’s face did not change at all, but Ye Xuan knew that he was very satisfied with his work ability.
——Even so, he still looked down on Ye Xuan.
It’s not that he looks down on Ye Xuan as a person, but that as an adjuster of a pure-blood noble, he looks down on a natural person who is a commoner.This is something engraved in Ke Xiu’s bones. Even if he is gentle and kind by nature, this contempt will not disappear.Will humans put themselves and animals on an equal footing? No, this is the relationship between the adjuster and the natural person.
So although Ye Xuan still loves the hero in her heart, she can only kill this feeling.Ke Xiu would not fall in love with her, and she could not accept her feelings for a pureblood.
