Xia Chujian thought for a moment, then sighed and said, "Forget it, I've already done my best. I should go back first."
As she spoke, she increased the speed of the Small Combat Aircraft and flew towards her Interstellar Airship.
...
Silently opening the door to the Airship's bottom Hold, a black Small Combat Aircraft flew into the Interstellar Airship's Hold.
Xia Chujian got out of the Flying Vehicle and, dodging all the way, finally arrived in front of her Captain's Room.
Because she had two small creatures on her shoulders, Xia Chujian didn't continue to use the Shao Siming Mecha's stealth function.
Instead, she simply wore a black cloak belonging to Haidagong Tula.
As a result...
Mao Yonggui, Chu Qingjuan, Sun Jiahao, and Li Dali were standing in front of the Captain's Room, silently watching her.
Chu Qingjuan said without any politeness, "Captain, where did you sneak off to again?!"
"We haven't heard from you all day, we thought you were resting!"
Mao Yonggui's voice carried obvious disapproval: "Captain, your injuries have just healed, you need to rest for a few days."
"Your injuries were to your internal organs, which are very fragile. Even if the Medical Cabin healed you, you still need to take good care of yourself."
Xia Chujian smiled awkwardly and said, "Haha, I can't hide anything from you!"
Then she naturally changed the subject, saying very frankly, "Since you're here, come in. I was just about to look for you."
She placed her palm on the smart lock at the entrance to the Captain's Room.
With a click, the door to the Captain's Room opened, and Xia Chujian went in first.
Mao Yonggui, Chu Qingjuan, Sun Jiahao, and Li Dali followed her in.
After entering the room, Xia Chujian pointed to the small suite and said, "You guys sit down first, I'll go tidy up."
With that, she walked into the small suite alone.
She closed the door to the small suite, casually took off the cloak, and then released the two little ancestors who had been sitting comfortably on her shoulders.
A white Teacup Dog and a snow-white Silver-throated Long-tailed Tit jumped down from her shoulders together, squatting side by side on the bedside table.
Xia Chujian put her index finger to her lips, making a "shush, be quiet" gesture to them.
A Wù seemed to understand, but A Yuan was completely out of it.
The corners of Xia Chujian's mouth twitched.
Along the way, Seven Lù had already used the time in the Flying Vehicle to weave a small bridle for A Yuan, and put it on its little bird beak.
Xia Chujian didn't have to worry about these two little ones causing trouble.
She put the Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha outside into the Other Shore Flower Necklace pendant, wearing only the sea-blue Combat Suit underneath.
Then she went to the Washroom to wash her face.
She had been fighting outside for a whole day.
Although her Shao Siming Mecha had its own temperature-controlled internal circulation device, it was still an airtight device, and she was covered in sweat, and really wanted to take a shower.
But there were still four subordinates waiting outside, and she couldn't just leave them there.
Xia Chujian only used the towel in the Washroom to wipe her face, and quickly walked out.
Before the four people could lecture her, Xia Chujian raised her hand to stop them from speaking, and then dropped a bombshell: "I found the Longevity Flying Fish's nest."
As soon as these words came out, the four people were immediately distracted by her, and didn't bother to accuse her of running around alone, and immediately asked, "Really?! Is it really the Longevity Flying Fish's nest?!"
"How many Longevity Flying Fish are there?!"
At this time, Xia Chujian restrained her smile, weighed it in her heart, and didn't tell the truth, only saying, "It was too far away to see clearly, but there are at least one or two."
She didn't say that there were actually only three Longevity Flying Fish left on this planet.
At least one Team of their four Teams would return empty-handed.
After Xia Chujian finished speaking, she picked up a water glass on the main console and took a sip of water, then took out a tube of Advanced Nutrient Solution from the drawer under the console, opened it and continued to drink it down.
Chu Qingjuan said excitedly, "Then what are we waiting for?! Let's hurry up and catch it, then we can go back!"
"I really can't stand staying in this place for even a day!"
Sun Jiahao and Li Dali were also visibly excited.
Xia Chujian completely understood them.
This planet was really too unfriendly to ordinary people like them who had not undergone gene evolution.
Although Xia Chujian had good equipment, it was still quite tiring to be in a three-meter-tall mecha all the time.
And she also missed home, missed Aunt, Aunt Chen, Yingying, San Zong, Si Xi, Wu Fu, and Liu Shun, and even that Big Black Dog.
Xia Chujian took a sip of water and said with a smile, "That place is relatively far away, in the South Pole."
"So now there are two plans."
"One, rest for one night first, and set off tomorrow morning."
"Two, the Airship flies directly over tonight, and we should arrive tomorrow morning."
The distance of 100,000 miles, the Interstellar Airship's top speed is 10,000 kilometers per hour.
It will take a total of five hours to reach that coordinate position in the South Pole.
Xia Chujian looked at the time, it was already eleven o'clock at night.
Mao Yonggui immediately said, "Let's set off overnight. Five hours is almost dawn."
"We can rest inside the Airship."
Xia Chujian thought it made sense, and said, "Then let's do as Lieutenant Mao says."
"Notify all members to depart in half an hour."
After Xia Chujian issued the order, Sun Jiahao and Li Dali went out first.
Chu Qingjuan and Mao Yonggui did not leave immediately.
Xia Chujian was planning to take a shower, anyway, these two were women, so it wouldn't be too awkward.
But Mao Yonggui stopped her and said softly, "Captain, what about those two people over there?"
Xia Chujian didn't react for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Who?"
Chu Qingjuan said, "It's Second Lieutenant Qiu of the First Interstellar Fleet, and her colleague."
Xia Chujian came back to her senses and quickly glanced at the two of them.
It seemed they didn't know that there was still an injured teenager with Qiu Zijun and Ye Shijie.
That teenager was too strange, and Xia Chujian didn't want to take him in.
But Ye Shijie had been the captain of her Dark Night Hunter Team for three years, and he had taken good care of her.
When she first joined the Dark Night Hunter Association, she was young, her family was poor, and she was not a Gene Evolver, she had no equipment, and no Team wanted her.
Only Ye Shijie, when he went to the Branch Station of the Dark Night Hunter Association in Mulan City, Guiyuan Star, to collect mission rewards, saw her standing alone against the wall, and asked her a question.
She hurriedly seized the opportunity and assured Ye Shijie that she was not afraid of getting dirty or tired, and guaranteed to complete the mission...
At that time, she even made Ye Shijie laugh.
Then he agreed to let her join the Team, and guided her to use the Association's resources to train herself first, so that she could negotiate terms with others.
What's the use of just saying that you are not afraid of getting dirty or tired?
It's not like recruiting cleaners...
So Xia Chujian went to practice Gunmanship first.
This was the preferred skill point for ordinary people in the Dark Night Hunter Association who could not evolve their Genes.
And on her first day at the shooting range of the Dark Night Hunter Association, she became famous overnight, and her life really improved.
Later, even other Teams secretly contacted her, trying to poach her.
Of course, Xia Chujian was not such an ungrateful person.
She felt like a fish in water in Ye Shijie's team. Although she didn't earn much, it was enough to support herself, and that was enough.
Towards the end of last year, she even had some unexpected luck and saved up a small fortune.
Now, both emotionally and rationally, she couldn't completely abandon Ye Shijie.
Besides, Ye Shijie wasn't someone who couldn't understand the situation.
Xia Chujian still wanted to see him and see if she could get more information.
She pondered and said, "I understand. I'll take a shower first, and then go check out their Flying Vehicle."
"If they're willing to wait, they can wait for us to come back after we've completed our mission."
Mao Yonggui and Chu Qingjuan exchanged a look.
Chu Qingjuan said softly, "Captain, that Second Lieutenant Qiu comes from a noble family, and she can also speak up for ordinary Marine Corps. If we can help, can we help her?"
Clearly, Qiu Zijun had earned the respect and goodwill of Mao Yonggui and Chu Qingjuan.
Xia Chujian had no malice towards Qiu Zijun.
Although Qiu Zijun hadn't told her the truth, she hadn't done anything to harm her either.
Besides, they had only met by chance, so why should she expect Qiu Zijun to tell her the truth?
Xia Chujian herself had concealed some things from her comrades.
Therefore, she didn't dislike Qiu Zijun for that reason.
Her only unease was still that strange young man.
Of course, that young man's background might not be as strange as A Wù and A Yuan's.
But A Wù and A Yuan were different. Xia Chujian had already established enough trust with them through their joint operations.
She could trust them, and with Seven Lù's help, she wasn't completely ignorant of their origins.
That young man was different.
Xia Chujian knew nothing about his background.
Seven Lù also knew nothing about him.
Maintaining a certain sense of awe for the unknown was the only way to avoid capsizing in a ditch.
And Qiu Zijun was so certain, which meant she probably knew the young man's background.
So, to take a step back, could she trust that this young man was harmless because of her trust in Ye Shijie and Qiu Zijun? Xia Chujian was still thinking about this question after taking a shower.
In the end, she decided to talk to Ye Shijie and Qiu Zijun again.
To see how sincere Qiu Zijun was.
She put on the Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha over her Combat Suit again, then waved to the two little guys who had already run to her bed and comfortably nestled themselves between the Down Quilt and feather pillows, and said, "A Wù, take good care of A Yuan, don't run around. I'm going out for a while, I'll be back in half an hour."
Xia Chujian pointed to the clock on the wall.
A Wù and A Yuan both had muzzles on their mouths.
A snow-white Teacup Dog and a snow-white little chubby bird nodded like they were pounding garlic.
Xia Chujian focused on A Wù and said, "A Wù, this is a test for you."
"If you run around while I'm gone, I won't take you away from here."
A Wù immediately raised its Teacup Dog-sized head, covered its little dog mouth with a muzzle on with one paw, and raised the other paw upwards, as if "Swearing to the Heavens".
Xia Chujian's heart was about to melt from the cuteness, and she couldn't wait to put it in her pocket and take it with her.
But that was just wishful thinking.
The two Other Shore Flower-style gunstock-shaped small seats that Seven Lù added to her Mecha were in a metal wire hollowed-out pattern.
It looked very nice, but once these two little guys sat in it, the Mecha's stealth function would have problems.
In the South Pole, she later simply wore a cloak and no longer used the Shao Siming Mecha's stealth function.
She had to go invisible this time to see Ye Shijie, so she couldn't bring these two little ones with her.
This is the second update. There will be a new update at midnight.
