Captain, your ship has exploded again.

Chapter 678 The most worries, the most beatings

Before Zhang Xun could react after returning to his own space, Li Zhuoyang had already taken Li Mengxue and Xiong Jiahao back to his own space.

Wang Ge glanced at Li Zhuoyang, who hadn't even said hello, and cursed, "What the hell is this? Looks like I didn't beat him enough before. He just left without saying a word."

Zhang Xun patted Wang Ge on the shoulder and said, "You've become the king of the kids. Your glorious history is almost hanging on the wall. People are anxious and hoping that the Suwu Civilization can find a solution."

In response, Zhao Wanyang adjusted her glasses and said, "As far as I know, the Suwu civilization does not have a very advanced medical level. They are not carbon-based life forms, and the vast majority of their medical effects come from high-dimensional energy."

"Hey, why are we making wild guesses? Zhang Xun, isn't your system a chatterbox? Why don't we just ask her?"

The others agreed with Wang Ge's words, since they could ask directly instead of guessing.

"Yi Jiu, answer me, can the Suwu Civilization cure Li Mengxue?"

Because it was a rest area, Yi Jiu's avatar was forcibly displayed on a blue screen in mid-air.

At this moment, her image resembled that of a shrewd businessman counting money.

However, when she saw everyone looking at her, Yi Jiu coughed awkwardly and said...

"World: Hypervariant..."

"Stop, don't settle the accounts yet. Anyway, you'll get all the G in the end. Tell us, can your system save Li Mengxue?"

Zhang Xun had long seen through Yi Jiu; his money-grubbing nature far surpassed that of a miser.

"Well, let me take a look first."

"..."

Zhang Xun suddenly felt that his system was too low-level. In other novels, the system was omnipotent, but his was like an old lady.

"One good news and one bad news."

Zhang Xun covered his face, somewhat annoyed, and said, "Stop talking nonsense, just say it."

"Good news, she is safe and sound."

"..."

"The bad news is, they can't cure brain damage here either."

Zhang Xun understood what Yi Jiu meant by "brain damage," because Zhao Wanyang had already said that Li Mengxue had lost too much brain tissue, and she could only restore brain cells but not the contents inside.

"What a fucking piece of trash!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Zhang Xun jumped up and kicked the blue screen in mid-air, his divine power penetrating dimensions to directly distort Yi Jiu's face.

"Damn it, Zhang Xun, you dare hit me! Watch out for my sneak attack!"

A blue hand extended a finger and stabbed it straight into Zhang Xun's eye. Since there was a medical room in the space, Yi Jiu knew that as long as Zhang Xun's brain cells were not damaged, it was impossible to kill or cripple him here.

Even if Zhang Xun's body had not fully recovered to its peak, he could not be defeated by a single energy hand.

As divine power enveloped his mouth, Zhang Xun bit down on the inserted finger and grabbed the blue screen with both hands, pulling it forcefully to both sides.

Just as Zhang Xun gained the upper hand, another hand appeared behind him.

"Look again, insert!"

Yi Jiu shouted in a slightly distorted tone, as if it would increase her hit rate.

"Think about it!"

Zhang Xun, whose speech was slurred, was still kicking the other person with his feet. One hand had already released the other person's face and silently grabbed the fingers that were attacking from behind.

"You think Hai can be defeated by your little Yang?"

Yi Jiu stubbornly shouted, "You can't even speak properly, what can you do! Go home and retire!"

"My retirement money is all yours, you bastard, you've swindled me out of it, what a load of crap I'm supposed to live on now."

Just as the two were arguing, a blue light appeared near Zhang Xunren.

That was a third pair of hands. Because it was too close to his vitals, Zhang Xun wanted to kick the extra hand away, but unexpectedly, Yi Jiu bit both of Zhang Xun's feet.

"Haha, who told you I only have two hands? I'm a high-dimensional being, I have plenty of hands and feet!"

A third hand bent its fingers and struck Zhang Xunren hard in the middle. However, Yi Jiu did not hear the expected scream. Instead, he heard the sound of metal striking metal and the sharp pain in his finger.

"Damn it, Zhang Xun, you're actually wearing iron shorts, and you even wrapped them in divine power! Aren't you afraid of chafing your crotch?"

"I only use this as an emergency measure, it's not my usual equipment. Watch your feet!"

While Zhang Xun and Yi Jiu were settling their personal grudges, Natal and the others had already begun arranging for the battleships to be idle.

Since Zhang Xun had been wealthy before, he still had a considerable amount of resources in his space. Combined with the still-operating production line, he could barely muster enough to build a fleet of 200,000 warships.

However, for the 130,000-strong, crippled battleship, the first thing they needed to solve was the huge hole in the Death Star II.

The hole wasn't caused by any attack; on the contrary, the original location of the hole was the Death Star's main cannon, the Starkiller Cannon.

Zhang Xun installed the original cannon on the new moon in the Super Variant Universe, mainly to ensure that if the Walkers came in the future, the Blue Star there could kill them.

Of course, Zhang Xun didn't leave the black-clad man's stellar particle gun there. He only made a battery for the Star Killer Cannon, leaving enough energy for two shots. As for what would happen after it was all used up, Zhang Xun said that he would have to sacrifice the sun there.

After all, the particle gun had begun to show energy fluctuations after being fired multiple times.

Zhao Wanyang led the technical staff to begin installing the spare Starkiller cannons from space back onto the Death Star II. They wanted to ensure that the fleet's combat power could be fully restored after leaving space.

"Stop hitting Zhang Xun, it's time to eat."

Natal looked on helplessly as Zhang Xun waved his limbs at the air.

Since the space belonged to Zhang Xun, they couldn't see the battle between Zhang Xun and Yi Jiu. They could only guess at the general situation from their physical movements, but it was clear that Zhang Xun was at a disadvantage.

"Hey, you scoundrel, wait until I've rested before we fight again."

Yi Jiu curled her lip and said, "By the time you finish eating, you'll probably be returning to your original universe. Still want to fight? Don't make this system laugh its head off."

Since space resources cost G, although there are quite a few factories in Zhang Xun's space, none of them are operating at full capacity. They will only be turned on at full power when a large number of downgraded warships arrive, in order to ensure that the warships' performance can be restored as soon as possible.

This is a last resort, after all, money should be spent wisely. Why spend money to buy basic supplies that can be brought back from the mission universe? Besides, Zhang Xun is already penniless, so G should be even more careful with his money.

"Hmph, once my divine power advances further, I'll definitely beat you into a pig's head."

After saying that, Zhang Xun walked towards the restaurant without looking back, but his walking posture was somewhat distorted.

Even if vital points are protected by an iron groin, the shockwave damage will still be transmitted, since that thing isn't vibranium and can't absorb kinetic energy.

As for Yi Jiu, she wasn't as unharmed as she appeared on the surface. If you could see through the blue screen, you would see that Yi Jiu was bruised and swollen, and even her so-called extra hands were red and swollen.

"Once you take another step forward, I've already come up with 108 ways to put you on a pole and play billiards with the stick."

Just as the two were arguing, Zhang Xun suddenly asked, "How much did you earn this time?"

"Not much, eleven thousand... Damn, you're ripping me off!"

"Nonsense, I need to know how much a major earns for a single mission!"

"Go away, the total is 15,000. It cost 4,000 to save you. After deducting the cost of dealing with the energy anomaly checks from above, since our system can't save people in mission universes, and there are other expenses, this amount of money isn't even enough for me to have an energy spa."

Zhang Xun would only believe part of Yi Jiu's answer. As for the energy SPA, based on the information he had gathered, all that G should have been used by her in special places, which was very likely related to the resistance against the Suwu civilization. However, since she didn't say, Zhang Xun wouldn't ask. At least he knew that the two sides had the same goal.

Soon, most of the team gathered at the restaurant. After enjoying a delicious meal, everyone went to rest, because they didn't know if they would have time to rest after leaving this special point in time and returning to their original universe.

At this moment, Zhang Xun had already switched the time of day to night, but instead of resting immediately, he walked towards the vicinity of the Soul Tree.

Still undecided?

Zhang Xun approached Zhao Wanyang and casually inquired about the glowing insects surrounding the Soul Tree.

"Whether it's the black hole bomb issue or failing to save Li Mengxue, how could I let it go so easily?"

Zhang Xun sighed and patted the other person on the shoulder, saying, "Don't think too much about it. The records in the Tianwen database of the warship wreckage have already proven that Li Mengxue wanted to see the black hole spectacle with the naked eye. Besides, the explosion was not caused by your mistake."

Yes, the disaster that nearly claimed the lives of several team members could basically be considered closed once Shen Yuexin and Li Zhuoyang, the two parties involved, regained consciousness. The reason for collecting the warship wreckage and retrieving the Tianwen records was to persuade Zhao Wanyang.

Moreover, when Primordial Celestial was dismantled later, the internal data showed that the sudden explosion of the black hole was caused by the spark provided by Megatron, which was used to equip Primordial Celestial with weapons and fire them. Although the simulation data was very strange, it was not a problem with the participation of the cosmic correction force.

"Perhaps, if I can dedicate more time to medical technology research, Li Mengxue will..."

Zhang Xun grabbed Zhao Wanyang's shoulder and roared, "Wake up, Zhao Wanyang! Look at you! How many human organs do you still have? If the Borg saw this, they would think you're crazy. Do you want to try mechanical ascension like Marcus?"

"High-dimensional energy life forms, even pre-existing civilizations, can't solve this problem. What makes you think you can?"

As the squadron leader, Zhang Xun was naturally aware of Zhao Wanyang's crazy modification surgery, but since these things could be reversed, Zhang Xun didn't care too much.

But if Zhao Wanyang continues to blame herself this time, he is really afraid that one day he will see a silicon-based life form replace Zhao Wanyang.

This is no joke, because at this moment, 80% of Zhao Wanyang's body has been replaced, a proportion that is very close to Marcus's data (Marcus had a large number of human organs, including the stomach).

Zhao Wanyang chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "So what? All you need is a researcher, and isn't silicon-based better? At least it's more efficient..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xun angrily slapped Zhao Wanyang across the face. This was the first time he had ever hit one of his teammates in a way that wasn't just playful.

"Shut up! My squad is made up of humans, and must be made up of humans. No matter what setbacks we encounter, once we abandon our human identity, we will lose our direction and become true dimensional ghosts, until madness completely destroys us!"

Zhang Xun used force with both hands, as if he wanted to wake Zhao Wanyang up from the pain.

"I understand. If you use that much force, it will reduce the precision of the equipment on my body!"

Zhao Wanyang broke free from Zhang Xun's grasp and rolled her eyes at him in annoyance.

"I'm just worried..."

Just as Zhang Xun was about to say something, Zhao Wanyang blocked the rest of the message with her finger.

Then Zhao Wanyang brought her lips close to Zhang Xun's face, as if she wanted to kiss him, but when there was still some distance, Zhao Wanyang whispered playfully.

"Thank you for your concern, my captain. As a return gift for that mouth, I'll secretly tell you that Natal is not far away."

After saying that, she fled the crime scene like a frightened little girl.

Zhang Xun was left bewildered, staring blankly at Natal as she slowly approached.

"Honey, would you believe me if I said this was another misunderstanding?"

"You big dummy again!"
