The main battleship was in place at the airport, and the airport was also closed to the rest of the public.
Everyone noticed that something big was about to happen, but firstly, the Federation was fighting all year round, and secondly, the news of Gu Xingzhi getting attacked and missing was kept secret, so there was no major commotion for the time being.
“Cecil!”
Cecil took a step forward, and saw Ellen standing nearby with his back to him along with his luggage. He turned his head and said, “I’m going too, to see if Gu Xingzhi is dead.”
Cecil sighed.
After Cecil explained all the official affairs to the five secretary- generals, he and Zhou Mian set off in a low-key manner with a small army and Ellen.
The medical equipment and doctors were already in place in the main battleship. In the next three days, Gu Xingzhi’s brigade will be picked up by the 15th star team, and then rushed back to the capital. Cecil’s main battleship will also depart from the capital to meet them halfway on the road. Trying to keep the journey time as short as possible.
Cecil and Zhou Mian were sitting near the pilot seats, while Cecil flipped through the documents and said with a frown, “It’s not the first day Xing Zhi has been in Desolate Stars Frontier, how could he suddenly be injured so badly?”
Zhou Mian said, “Pirates . They have always been cunning, have advanced weapons, and colluded with the Zerg, so it is not difficult to understand that Major General Gu may have missed due to a moment of inattention.”
“No, I mean…why?”
“Huh?”
Cecil explained: “There’s nothing happening right now. At this very not special time, the Zerg didn’t come to attack, so why did the pirates suddenly target Xing Zhi? To hurt Xing Zhi like this, it would take a lot of manpower and resources, right? Is this necessary?”
Zhou Mian also frowned slightly.
Yeah…why?
Zhou Mian remembered the eyes of the man in red.
He also… can’t guess what that person is thinking.
Cecil lowered his head and continued to read the report. Zhou Mian glanced at Ellen, who was sitting by the window and staring out of the window
“I’m not worried…!” Ellen gritted his teeth, noticing his gaze : “I just want to see him get unlucky!”
Zhou Mian stared at Ellen blankly.
Why are you clearly worried, but you still say you’re not worried?
Seeing that Zhou Mian looked at Ellen and hesitated, his face full of doubts, Cecil patted him and said, “This is fun.”

Zhou Mian gritted his teeth and said, “I don’t do it, don’t listen to Cecil’s nonsense. Don’t you know him yet?”
“Yes.” Ellen said with disgust: “Talking depends on one’s mouth, lines depend on self-indulgence.”
Zhou Mian desperately resisted the urge to nod.
After all, because of this topic and Cecil’s “self-sacrifice”, the atmosphere on board became a little more relaxed.
It’s useless to worry now.
Several people slept in the main battleship all night, and on the second day, Gu Xingzhi’s matter gradually became popular among the people, and Star Network also began to discuss whether something happened to Major General Gu.
“It’s impossible to hide it eventually, but…it’s still too fast.” Cecil frowned slightly.
After a pause, Cecil asked Casper, who was staying in the capital, to pay attention, so that they could take the opportunity to start investigating the traitor.
If the traitor can’t sit still this time, the water will be muddy again…
Cecil sneered.
Zhou Mian looked at Star Network’s panic-stricken look, and asked suspiciously, “The purpose of the dark phoenix is to disrupt the admiral’s plan and throw the capital into chaos?”
Otherwise, why did they reveal that he was picking Hong Luoluo before, and now they expose Gu Xingzhi’s situation ?
“Their purpose is to restrain me, find an opportunity to kill me.” Cecil shrugged: “After all, I have washed the Dark Phoenix in blood. And this traitor from the Dark Phoenix, I will not let go too. People of the Dark Phoenix, kill without mercy.”
Cecil’s tone was calm, but there was a hidden hostility.
Zhou Mian paused and nodded.
Cecil smiled and said, “Actually, there were good people in the Dark Phoenix too at that time. She was a beautiful and gentle girl. At that time, she was twenty years older than me and took good care of the children who were kidnapped by the Dark Phoenix. It’s a pity that she wanted to protect me and the other child, who died, and was killed by the people of the Dark Phoenix.”
“The other child…?” Zhou Mian suddenly realized that Cecil was not kidnapped alone.
Was there anyone else?
“Yes.” But Cecil looked away, not planning to say more.
Zhou Mian has always been sensitive because of his mental power, so he can feel Cecil’s emotional changes at this moment.
When talking about that person, Cecil’s mood was obviously fluctuating.
Zhou Mian suddenly remembered what the others had said, that the Dark Phoenix is Cecil’s inverse scale, but Cecil had talked to him before and said that he is not afraid of the Dark Phoenix, and it is not a shadow in his mind.
Could it be… In fact, the Dark Phoenix is not, but that person is?
Zhou Mian was slightly taken aback.
After nightfall, the main battleship finally met with the aircraft that escorted Gu Xingzhi. The main battleship opened its large hatch, and after the aircraft entered, Gu Xingzhi and the two surviving soldiers were moved into the medical room by a stretcher.
Ellen looked at the stretchers and said, “Didn’t you say five people?”
Zhou Mian and Cecil were silent.
Ellen understood after a while, and the other two couldn’t hold on till the rescue.
A few people stepped forward to diagnose them, and all three of them looked bloody.
The doctor immediately stepped forward and took his place, two doctors and two nurses facing one patient.
Basically, the wound has been bandaged with the most basic hemostasis and infection prevention, and all the first aid has been done.
Ellen stood beside Gu Xingzhi’s hospital bed, his body trembling uncontrollably.
Gu Xingzhi’s entire face was covered with blood, and he could only vaguely see a tough outline. There were large and small injuries all over his body, and a burn on his back, which was probably caused by an explosion.
But the most fatal wound was a big cut from the shoulder to the waist. The knife wound cut a bloody deep groove in the flesh, looking extremely terrifying.
There was a strong smell of blood in the air. Ellen was pampered since birth. The first time he saw such a wound, it was still on Gu Xingzhi’s body, and his body was shaking like a wheat chaff in a storm.
Zhou Mian stepped forward to block Ellen’s sight and said, “Your Highness, let’s wait outside?”
“Isn’t it…” Ellen sniffled and said, “Will it hurt a lot?”
Zhou Mian was taken aback for a moment . .
Ellen’s mentality suddenly collapsed, his eyes were as red as a rabbit, and his usual hippie smile was gone: “Am I wrong? I shouldn’t have treated him like that, will he die?”
“Will he be alright? Will it hurt?” Ellen asked the question again, lips trembling.
In Ellen’s cognition, that man was always tall and indifferent, like an old piece of wood, even poked , would stay unmoved.
How could such a strong person turn into the sorry appearance he is now?
“His Royal Highness, let’s go out and wait.” Zhou Mian took Ellen by his shoulder and said warmly, “There is still a chance for treatment.”
“No.” Ellen pushed Zhou Mian’s hand away and said, “I will sit by the side. I won’t bother you, you don’t mind me.”
Ellen took a deep breath and tried to sit aside with a blank expression.
Zhou Mian sighed and didn’t stop him.
“How’s it going?” Zhou Mian stepped forward to look, and saw that the doctor had finished cleaning and was about to sew Gu Xingzhi’s wound.
“Wait!” Zhou Mian frowned and said, “The Zerg poison hasn’t been solved yet, so why are you sealing the wound? Isn’t this sealing the Zerg poison in the body?”
One of the doctors frowned and said: “This is the best solution now. If the wound is not sealed, the blood flow and infection will be worse.”
Zhou Mian said: “It can’t be sealed, no matter what.”
Zhou Mian opened his backpack. He picked up the box on the side, took out an herbal medicine inside and said: “Soak these plants in water and cover the wound in them, and then pour the powder made from the branches of Hong Luoluo and Dodder fern into the wound to detoxify. “
“ Are you crazy?” the senior doctor said in a low voice, “Let’s not mention whether other plants will worsen the injury if you use them, Hong Luoluo is poisonous! Illegal Drugs! Admiral Zhou has been fighting against Zerg and pirates all year round. Don’t you know how dangerous a drug Hong Luoluo is?!”
Sue: Hey, you know I kinda ….ship Chi Ying and ZM….
Who ship who with who ? Hello?
I really hope general Gu will be ok and have a second chance with Ellen
Thank you for the chapter
And honestly we don’t know sh*t about this pirate leader so can’t say i can follow your feelings here, and the poem could mean something painful for Mian like, the sunset city who had been destroyed
Haha don’t mind my weird shippings, I’m always into haters turned lovers kind of things, I guess that’s why i want to see CY and ZM moments!
Well, I can understand your feeling if it’s like that, I am down bad about Harry x Draco, but i still need more interactions and I think I might get it sooner or later
Oh, you just need to hear the admiral’s wife!
Thank you for your translation 🤍🤍🤍
Thanks for the chapter!!
I think we all kinda ship them on some point 🤣🤣
Thank You for the new chapter ( ꈍᴗꈍ)❤️
Honestly the doctors reaction is friends and families reaction who have zero knowledge about medecine and drugs say when you tell them youre taking meds for stuff like deppression (dopamine), Adhd (amphetamines, methylphenidat), autism (risperidone).
Medecine / drugs are made out of extracting substances from things, mixing them together removing, adding, adjusting to get the right amount of everything so that the ultimate result is able to help with the least amount of side effects 🙂
Very unprofessional of them to say the least.
Welp its a novel not expecting that much lol.
Accidentally commented on the wrong chapter sorry yall
Idk how to delete
Exactly its a novel, its useless to look for reality in here! Also since its a fictional interstellar world maybe medicine is synthesized differently there, you never know!
I’m thinking Chi is the one the one that sent the roses and poem😉
Hope Xingzhi makes a recovery with ZM’s help 🥺
Thanks for the chapter 💞
*ahem * my multi-shipper brain is acting up…. 😳
Sue????? who ship who?! (anyways same)
