CH 15

When the positioning of the ship that Ge Xiu was driving suddenly disappeared from the galaxy chart, Lulai was having a routine tactical meeting.

His gaze swept across his smart brain inadvertently, but his eyes were drawn to the burning bright red alarm. It almost immediately grabbed all of Lulai’s attention, making him lose consciousness for a few seconds.

Richard has just finished his regular report at the moment and was standing by the table waiting for Lulai’s instructions.

Lulai returned to his senses and nodded calmly as usual, indicating that he did a good job – his few second long loss of attention was fleeting and almost no one noticed it except for Hall, who was standing behind him.

At the end of the meeting, the officers dispersed one after another.

Hall stared at Lulai’s straight back, but a faintly uneasy expression appeared in his eyes.

Lulai Sivir – his name alone can frighten enemies on the battlefield, no one in the Alliance dared to challenge his authority, almost all influential families in the Alliance Parlament were trying to win him over and he was the most popular general in 100 years. However, he rebelled when his prestige was at its highest and instantly turned from the God of War praised by everyone to a fugitive pursued by the entire alliance.

No one knew why.

Even Hall dare not to make assumptions randomly.

He’s been by his side ever since Lulai was given the title of God of War and he was also the most loyal follower who followed him first after Lulai defected from the Alliance. Even so, he never dared to say that he knew well the unpredictable man in front of him.

In Hall’s impression, Lulai always seemed to be in a state of lack of joy, anger and mood swings, as if everything was under his control and he was never disturbed by any variables, no matter how severe the situation on the battlefield. As long as Lulai was here, he felt that any situation could be rescued and his existence itself was reassuring.

It was the first time Hall saw Lulai lose composure in a long time.

This gave him an unimaginable hunch.

Lulai did not look back, but calmly asked, “How many manoeuvrable warships are still on the main ship?”

Hall: “Excluding the warships and reconnaissance ships responsible for defending the main ship and scouting the enemy, there are four medium-sized and thirteen lightweight ships left.”

”Good.”

Lulai turned his head, his silver-blue eyes were like the icy sky on a snow-capped mountain and the expression in her eyes was as unfathomable as the deep sea. Hall’s heart contracted, he was holding his breath waiting for the other’s command:

”Take all the mobile fleets and search with all your strength along this positioning route.”

Hall looked down at the positioning route displayed on his brain, and couldn’t help but being startled slightly – isn’t that, Ge Xiu’s route?

Could it be that something happened?

Although he didn’t have a lot of affection for this damned child, he still highly respected Ge Xiu’s abilities. With Lulai’s order, Hall did not dare to neglect, gave a military salute and then hurriedly left the meeting room through the metal door. Before it closed behind him, a vague question flashed in Hall’s mind involuntarily-

Why is captain so nervous when Ge Xiu had an accident…?

Before he could understand it, the cabin door got closed behind him.

Once again, only Lulai was left in the conference room.

He turned around calmly, looked down at the magnified virtual galaxy map on the desktop, his eyes stuck tightly to the suddenly disrupted route, his eyes dark.

Lulai also asked himself this question in his heart.

Why was he so nervous the moment he saw the news?

Lulai put his hand into his pocket, his fingertips hit a hard sphere wrapped in wrapping paper, he was taken aback for a moment and then took it out.

On the garbage star.

Ge Xiu peeled off the candy wrapping flexibly.

The strong sweet scent from the inferior candies instantly occupied his mouth, nose and senses, almost dispelling the stench that lingered around him a little.

Ge Xiu touched to check number of candies left in his pocket.

There are only five left.

He cautiously licked the round sugar ball in his mouth with the tip of his tongue, then raised his eyes and looked at the environment around him.

The sky was as gray and gloomy as ever and the stacked mountains of garbage seemed to stretch to the end of the world.

Ge Xiu retracted his gaze and sighed lightly.

To find candy in this kind of place was simply a fantasy.

The terrain here has visibly smoothed out and there were traces of life on the ground. The other crew members have been sent out by him. Only him and Xiao Yi were left to walk together in this huge place.

Although Ge Xiu was still looking for the rubbish on the side of the road as he walked forward, his movements became lazy and he could even be regarded as impassive and depressed.

His eyes drifted away, he kicked an empty jar on the ground casually as he walked, his thoughts floating somewhere unknown.

The empty iron can kicked by Ge Xiu clinked on the ground, only to roll into the trash pile aside.

Xiao Yi hesitantly followed behind him. He stared at Ge Xiu’s back, as if he wanted to say something, but he swallowed the words back at the last moment.

Ge Xiu didn’t look back, but he seemed to have eyes in the back of his head:

”What’s the matter?”

Xiao Yi was taken aback by his abrupt question and finally summoned the courage to speak:

”Well, Xiao Qi, let’s…can we go back to the shed you lived in before? It won’t take long, I promise! I’ll be back soon!”

The first place he saw when he woke up?

Ge Xiu’s spirits lifted and his lack of interest just now was wiped out in an instant.

He turned around, nodded happily, and laughed out showing two little tiger teeth:

”Yeah, okay.”

Xiao Yi’s face immediately lit up.

Bamboo has something to say:

The affection and doting of Lulai is so subtle. He doesn’t say anything, but he always carries sweets with him, does anything to help him, indulges Ge Xiu and even lets him go on a dangerous mission because he never meant to tie him down but to let him fly free
