Chapter 141: Return To Capital Star
After learning of the black hole’s existence, he had already begun preparations, and he had handed all matters over to Lake.
After seeing off Shi An’an and the others, he decisively turned toward the black hole and jumped in without hesitation.
When he emerged again, he arrived on a desolate, uninhabited planet. He piloted his mecha to search the entire planet and discovered it was the Empire’s Edge Star that had once fallen.
Looking at the barren, worthless planet, he decisively returned to the black hole, placed explosives around the cave entrance, and pressed the button at the moment he jumped into the black hole.
“Boom!”
Xiu only heard the explosion behind him, but he didn’t know if the black hole had been destroyed…
In the following time, Xiu constantly shuttled through various black holes, marking their positions.
……
Meanwhile, Shi An’an and the others had been on the starship for half a month and were about to arrive in Federation territory.
“Major Shi.” Nov found Shi Anfeng and greeted him respectfully. “May I ask where you plan to land?”
Shi Anfeng and Lin Xi exchanged a glance and said firmly, “Capital Star.”
After hearing this, surprise flashed in Nov’s eyes. He knew the current situation of the two in the Federation—they had been announced as sacrificed by their legion.
At the same time, they were accused of dereliction of duty, causing all soldiers in the First Legion to perish…
In this situation, they still dared to openly return to Capital Star?
“Uh…, gentlemen… why not reconsider? For example, choose H11 Star?” Nov suggested subtly.
Shi Anfeng understood Nov’s meaning, but he shook his head. “Capital Star for sure.”
Seeing the two’s resolute expressions, Nov said no more. He was only responsible for escorting them.
“Then, what about Miss An’an? Do you need me to escort her back to H11 Star?”
Hearing this question, Shi Anfeng and the other fell silent.
Then he shook his head. “No need, thank you. Someone will send her back to H11 Star then.”
In the end, they were still wary of Empire People.
“Alright.” Nov nodded understandingly and said no more.
After Nov left, Shi An’an walked over and looked at the two. “Eldest Brother, I’ll go to Capital Star with you.”
“No, you go back to H11 Star.” Shi Anfeng refused directly.
“Eldest Brother, you should know I can protect myself and even protect you!”
“I know, but An’an, this time we’re going back with many things to do. It involves too much, so we’ve discussed it—we may need to transfer a group of people to go back to H11 Star with you.”
“Yes, An’an, you’ll need to protect them along the way.” Lin Xi added from the side.
Hearing this, Shi An’an asked, “Who are they?”
“My family, and some of our people’s families…” Lin Xi said.
“This incident with the First Legion is also a trigger. It’s time for the Federation to purge some disloyal people, so to give us no worries, not only will some people be transferred from Capital Star, but from other planets too…”
Shi An’an listened to her eldest brother and Brother Lin’s analysis and nodded in agreement.
“Right, and Older Sister and Lele, they…”
“They’ll leave with you this time.” Shi Anfeng said.
Hearing that she could finally see the two, Shi An’an was very happy.
The rest of the journey went very smoothly, and they were about to arrive at Capital Star.
At this time, Capital Star University finally welcomed the holiday. Shi Anxin met up with Shi Lele and they were now in Uncle’s office.
Shi Mu Guang’s face was grave as he looked at the two. “Tonight, you leave Capital Star for H11 Star.”
Shi Anxin’s face was cold. “Okay.”
Shi Lele looked nervous. “Father, what about you?”
“I’ll go back to the research institute. The school is on holiday, so I can finally return to the research institute.” Shi Mu Guang said, pretending to be relaxed.
Shi Lele frowned. “Dad, come with us. I won’t feel at ease leaving you here.”
“What’s there to worry about? I’m fine. Haven’t you been nagging every day about wanting to find An’an? Now it’s finally holiday, you can go find An’an. Why aren’t you happy?”
“That’s different! Eldest Brother and the others aren’t here, Second Brother and Mother haven’t returned either. You’re here alone…”
“Go on, go on, I’m fine. Hurry back and pack your things!” Shi Mu Guang waved his hand, urging the two to leave.
“Right, H11 Star has everything. Don’t bring unnecessary things.” Shi Mu Guang reminded.
“Father…” Shi Lele looked at her father worriedly.
Shi Anxin pulled Shi Lele and left the office.
“Let’s go, we’ll head back first.”
Shi Lele pouted, dejectedly following her cousin out.
Recently, the situation on Capital Star had been tense, and even they felt it while at school.
Especially after the First Legion garrisoned at Edge Star was attacked by star beasts and almost completely wiped out, Capital Star began experiencing various riots.
Other planets had them too, but Capital Star’s situation seemed more severe.
“Xin Xin!” Lin Jinmo saw Shi Anxin and ran over.
“Xin Xin, tonight…”
“We’ll talk when we get back.”
Shi Anxin interrupted Lin Jinmo, quickly scanned the surroundings with her gaze, then hurriedly led the two to Shi Lele’s dormitory.
After the three returned to the dormitory, they activated the protective shield before speaking.
“Tonight, I have to leave Capital Star.” Lin Jinmo said softly.
Shi Lele rolled her eyes. “The protective shield is on, why are you whispering? Afraid I’ll hear?”
“…” Lin Jinmo looked at Shi Lele speechlessly. “Didn’t you say we need to be careful?”
“Xin Xin, leave with me!” Lin Jinmo looked at Shi Anxin expectantly.
Shi Anxin shook her head.
Lin Jinmo’s face fell immediately, then he became worried. “Your family isn’t on Capital Star now. I won’t feel at ease leaving you here alone. Come with me—it’s not safe here!”
Shi Lele beside them was unhappy. “Hey, hey, Lin Jinmo, what do you mean by that? Am I not Xin Xin Sis’s family?!”
“I didn’t mean that, I meant…”
“That’s exactly what you meant! You just…”
Shi Anxin frowned. “Enough, you two stop arguing. Lele, hurry and pack.”
“Jinmo, tonight we’re also leaving Capital Star for H11 Star, so we’ll probably leave together. Now go pack your things. We’ll meet here in half an hour and leave together then.”
Shi Anxin said calmly. Hearing that Xin Xin was also leaving Capital Star and might leave with him, Lin Jinmo immediately beamed with joy.
“Bring self-defense weapons, just in case.” Shi Anxin reminded.
“Got it!” Lin Jinmo and Shi Lele said in unison.
Then, they immediately went back separately to pack, preparing for tonight’s departure.
