How come I was the one being targeted?

"...Sorry, I can't explain it right now. Just assume that I don't understand either."

In March Seven's memory, the black-haired boy always had a nonchalant attitude, but when this topic came up, his face would become very embarrassed. He wanted to distance himself from the man, but he was also deeply anxious because of the relationship that could not be severed. In the end, he also learned from Walter and dealt with it perfunctorily.

"So suspicious...Uncle Yang and Dan Heng are idiots! You must be hiding something from me!!!"

Both of them were being secretive and had no intention of telling her anything, while the captive Silver Wolf gave her a strange look that said, "You're not asking a captive, are you?"

Just as March 7 was about to rant and rave about it, a dazzling light suddenly appeared in front of him, like a flame spreading extremely high temperatures, or like lightning that penetrated the sky and earth.

Powerful, fierce, and hot.

It burned the earth, raised dust, scorched the air, and swallowed everything in an instant like a wave.

At the same time, a huge noise was accompanied by a dazzling light. When the light that was enough to burn the eyesight dissipated, a terrifying scene of flaming guns washing the ground appeared before everyone's eyes.

"This is too exaggerated..." the Silver Wolf, who was forced to be a prisoner, complained softly.

"The girl woke up."

Perhaps because he had seen too many big scenes, Walter recovered from his shock quickly. He also noticed a detail out of the corner of his eye that March Seven and Dan Heng had not noticed - the gray-haired girl on Bai Jun's shoulder opened her eyes.

Hearing this, Sanyueqi and Danheng also noticed the gray-haired girl and watched her every move with curiosity.

She opened her eyes in confusion, staring blankly at Bai Jun. Bai Jun put her on the ground, and she crawled into Bai Jun's arms... into his arms... into his arms...

“In my arms—!?”

San Yueqi's cheeks turned red in an instant. She covered her already red face with her hands and continued to peek at Bai Jun and the gray-haired girl through her fingers.

Their behavior was at most more than friends but less than lovers, but in the eyes of the young and innocent March Seventh, it was too exciting.

Even though she kept exclaiming, "Ah~!", "No, that's impossible!", "Don't they know each other at all?", "Why is it progressing so quickly!", she never looked away.

"March, you've been noisy from the beginning."

Dan Heng, who was standing aside, looked coldly at San Yue Qi who kept making embarrassing noises, and took a few steps to the side as if he wanted to completely cut off ties with her.

The latter's cheeks were still flushed. After all, the gray-haired girl looked cool and handsome. Who would have thought that she could be such a frivolous person? The huge contrast made March Seven's worldview seem to be reshaped.

Bai Jun looked down at the girl in his arms, his eyebrows slightly raised, his expression slightly unhappy, but he didn't say anything. He just grabbed the gray-haired girl's neck and moved her away from him like a little pet.

"Your identity is up for discussion. Before that, don't run around. Just follow behind obediently."

Simply saying this, Bai Jun continued to advance towards the main control cabin, while the gray-haired girl looked around in confusion, like an abandoned little animal.

Seeing this, and being alone, San Yue Qi rushed to the gray-haired girl like the wind and asked worriedly, "Are you okay? How are you feeling? Can you hear me clearly? Do you remember your name?"

"My name... is Xing."

The gray-haired girl held her forehead with one hand, as if trying hard to find the answer to this sentence from her mind. Fortunately, she did not completely forget everything, at least she still remembered her own name.

"Great! It's a blessing in disguise that you remember your own name. How did you end up here? Uh, come to think of it, you're not wearing a space station uniform. Are you really from here?"

The gray-haired girl did not answer San Yueqi's question, but turned her attention to Kafka on Dan Heng's back and the silver wolf.

"Huh? Do you know them?"

March Seven was keenly aware of this, especially when Silver Wolf was stared at by Xing, he obviously turned his face away, as if he was afraid that the other party would recognize him.

The gray-haired girl put one hand behind her head, her amber eyes staring blankly at the back of the silver wolf, then turned to look at Kafka on Danheng's back, and finally shook her head.

"do not know."

After hearing this, Silver Wolf seemed to have been relieved of a burden, and March Seven sighed in frustration: "Alright, alright... Never mind, I won't ask anymore. This kind of thing isn't my forte, so I'll leave it to Sister Jizi... Wait, do you know the person in the front?"

"do not know."

The gray-haired girl's answer was the same as always.

"I can stick to you even though I don't know you!"

March Seven complained loudly, his angry look was as if he saw an ignorant and confused girl slowly falling into the abyss, and she was completely unaware of it.

"Well, but he smelled so good, and it was so warm to hold him. When I came to my senses, I didn't know why I just stuck close to him."

The gray-haired girl answered with confidence.

"That won't do! No matter how handsome he is, a girl shouldn't do this! At least... at least... at least you should get to know each other and confirm your feelings before you do it! And how can a girl like you have the nerve to say such embarrassing words! It's completely against common sense! Never mind, never mind, from now on you have to stay by my side and don't do anything weird again, okay?"

San Yueqi originally thought that the gray-haired girl was just confused after waking up, but now it seems that she must be the legendary naive person. In order to protect this girl from external harm, San Yueqi resolutely chose to temporarily serve as her guardian.

On the other hand, because there was no extra burden on his shoulders to protect, Bai Jun's advancement speed was obviously increased, and the antimatter army along the way seemed to have realized the horror of Bai Jun and fled like birds and beasts.

The empty corridor had long been destroyed beyond recognition by the antimatter army. Cracks were everywhere on the walls and the ground. Flames, lightning, and dark matter left shocking energy fluctuations. Along the way, one could see bloodstains spreading along the aisle, probably left by the defense department members when they retreated.

The corpses of weak soldiers were scattered on both sides. The battlefield was originally filled with roars, swords, guns and cannons, but now it was empty and dead silent. A group of people walking in the corridor could even hear the echo of their footsteps. Logically speaking, all this was abnormal and terrifying, but following behind Bai Jun, he did not feel any tension or fear at all.

After a while——

After passing through the silent circular corridor, the group finally arrived at a large tower-shaped cabin with an extremely vast space.

The antimatter army in the base compartment had been cleared out by the staff under Ester's orders, so after seeing the space station staff occupying this place, March Seven finally breathed a sigh of relief, and soon she saw the red-haired senior coming towards her.

"Sister Himeko~!"

San Yueqi raised her right hand excitedly, but Ji Zi didn't seem to notice her at first, and looked at Bai Jun who was walking in front.

"Mr. Bai Jun, have you checked the core in the containment compartment?"

Bai Jun's eyes had returned to their azure blue by then. He organized his words and succinctly recounted everything to Ji Zi, including the current location of the star core and the captured enemies who had intruded into the space station. Ji Zi nodded, indicating that she had a general understanding of the current situation.

"It seems they are the Star Core Hunters for whom the Interstellar Peace Company offers a high bounty."

Ji Zi had heard about a crazy organization in the Milky Way that specialized in capturing star cores a long time ago, but she only remembered that the bounty offered by the Interstellar Peace Company was very high, and she did not know much about the specific details. Now, after hearing about this from Bai Jun, Ji Zi gradually remembered it.

When Ji Zi was about to look at the star core hunters brought by Walter and Dan Heng, she suddenly found that March Seven was giving her a sullen look, as if saying - why are you ignoring me!

Ji Zi chuckled, then shifted her gaze to March Seven and asked with great concern, "I'm sorry, Little March, Dan Heng, and Walter. You've really worked hard this time."

"Sister Jizi is so biased. I've been greeting you for so long but you ignored me."

"I'm sorry, Xiao Sanyue. I'm really happy to see that you are safe and sound... Speaking of which, Xiao Sanyue, what happened to Walter and Danheng?"

Ji Zi looked at the two absent-minded people with some concern. One of them kept looking at Bai Jun, while the other's gaze always shifted to Ren. This abnormal phenomenon made her feel a little confused.

"Who knows? When I came to my senses, they were like this, and they refused to tell me why."

Sanyueqi puffed up his lips in anger, then pulled Xing, who was in a daze, over and happily introduced her to Jizi: "By the way, Sister Jizi, we found this on the road! Her name is Xing! Isn't she cute?"

"Don't address her like an object. Little Sanyue... Eh? Where's she?"

Ji Zi shook her head with a wry smile. After correcting San Yueqi's words, she was about to say hello to Xing when she suddenly found that the gray-haired girl had disappeared.

"Huh? You were here just now..."

San Yue Qi looked around in confusion, and at the same time, a bad premonition vaguely emerged in his heart.

"Bai Jun! Are you okay? Are you injured? Are you tired? Do you need some water?"

"There's nothing wrong with me."

"Great, I'm glad you're safe. This way, the young lady and I can let go... Hey! Who are you? Stay away from him!"

There was some commotion not far away. Ji Zi and San Yue Qi turned their heads together and saw the gray-haired girl hanging in Bai Jun's arms like a sloth, her little face rubbing against his chest. Her cold expression melted into a comfortable smile, while the white-haired boy with his arms bandaged was angrily trying to pull her off Bai Jun.

"Aaaaaaaah! Xing! What did I just tell you!"

Seeing this scene, the cute pink-haired girl screamed and rushed forward like a gust of wind again. Together with Alan, she grabbed the gray-haired girl who did the despicable thing and tried to pull her off Bai Jun.

"........."

Ji Zi held his forehead and sighed. When he thought of Bai Jun's speculation just now, he always felt that the star core seemed to have run into some extraordinary guy.

"Jizi, what should we do with these... Star Core Hunters?"

Ignoring the commotion over there, Dan Heng walked up to Ji Zi and asked about the business with a hesitant look.

"That should be decided by the station's owner. Anyway, just keep them under control and don't give them any chance to escape."

Walter came from behind and calmly gave his opinion, and Jizi nodded, indicating that she agreed with Walter's point of view.

Then, the three of them focused their attention on the only awake Star Core Hunter.

"Ah, I know, I know. Can't I tie it myself?"

Silver Wolf curled his lips, silently conjured up a rope, and used the "Ether Editing" to tie himself up, looking like a cute little rabbit that was harmless to humans and animals. For some reason, every time he saw her like this, Walter's expression was indescribably weird.

Thanks to the capture of the hacker Silver Wolf, the control of the hacked command center was quickly regained by the staff. At the same time, the power supply system of the base compartment was also repaired. The gradually lit lights gave a good boost to the people caught in the chaos.

Next, we just need to consolidate the position of the base module. I believe that under the command of Ester, the defense department staff will be able to clear the antimatter army from the space station.

Just when everyone thought that the matter could finally come to an end, the hull of the space station began to shake violently again. The power supply system that had been repaired with great difficulty was paralyzed again, and the base compartment fell into darkness again.

Amidst the violent vibrations and roars that came from nowhere, the staff members fell into unreasonable panic, but Ester's order was delayed. Just when everyone was feeling scared and confused, the cell phones in Ji Zi, Walter, Dan Heng and March Seven's pockets suddenly rang.

Walter was the first to connect the phone, and soon Pam's cry for help sounded from the other end:

"Come back quickly, Pa! There's a scary dragon outside the reception platform!"

Space Station Stories: December Bounty

As usual, I'll open a bounty at the beginning of the month to motivate myself:

【3000 recommendation tickets per chapter】

【Monthly ticket 200 per chapter】

For every 1 reward or 100 blades, one more chapter will be added.

There are 20 chapters for the Gold Treasure Chest and 10 chapters for the Silver Treasure Chest. Although I feel it is unnecessary to mention it, I will still add it.

The current data is 2239 monthly tickets, 17208 recommendation tickets, 210316 rewards, and 539 blades. The monthly tickets rewarded yesterday are also within the measurement range. I will count the updated data in the background every morning, until the tenth of this month.

Space Station Stories: Chapter 103: Unleashing the Skyfire (5k)

"Come back quickly, Pa! There's a scary dragon outside the reception platform!"

Perhaps Pam on the other end was too nervous, the communication message made a crackling sound like electricity, and the call ended abruptly.

After hearing the news, March Seventh immediately turned pale with fright, but Walter and Jizi did not show much emotion. They had seen more dangerous situations during the long journey on the train, so they just looked at each other briefly. Walter, who understood the other's intention, rushed to the support section first.

"March, Danheng, come with me."

Hearing the call from the figure that was getting farther and farther away, Dan Heng gripped his spear without hesitation, and San Yueqi followed at a trot holding a longbow.

"Excuse me, Mr. Bai Jun, Mr. Alan, could you please take me to the main control cabin? I have something I want to consult Ms. Heita."

When she said this, she also glanced subtly at the gray-haired girl standing next to Bai Jun.

Although Xing noticed the gaze from Ji Zi, he tilted his head a little confusedly, and then moved closer to Bai Jun. His amber eyes revealed a hint of happiness, just like a cat around a fireplace.

"Ah, of course, Ms. Himeko. I also need to report this to Station Master Ester, and then organize people to go to the platform to support Mr. Walter and the others..."

"There's no need to send special personnel, Mr. Alan. They can handle it. The most important thing the station should focus on right now is ensuring the safety of the personnel. As long as the "Destroy" order isn't issued, the station won't face any major problems."

In fact, Jizi had already guessed what the dragon Pam was talking about was. It was probably the Antimatter Corps' anti-stellar weapon, Doommon. Admittedly, this kind of monster was difficult to deal with, and it would require extra attention to protect the train.

But this is not based on the premise that Walter is present. It is no exaggeration to say that with Walter's strength, as long as the number of Doomsday Beasts does not exceed two, he will be fully confident in dealing with them and at least protect the train from damage.

So knowing this, Ji Zi did not immediately follow to check the situation of the train, but followed Alan to the main control compartment above the elevator.

Her purpose was simple - to discuss the issue of the gray-haired girl with Heita.

There was no need to elaborate on the threat and uncontrollability of the star core. It wasn't just that the explosion would disrupt an entire galaxy. Even a slight leak of the star core's energy would harm the surrounding area. Although the Black Tower's wisdom was enough to restrain and suppress the star core, it was an indisputable fact that it could not eliminate the threat posed by the star core.

The Star Train is also suffering from the damage of the star core. The energy fluctuations emitted by the star core will affect the star orbits between stars, which has destroyed the star orbits that Akivali once used to spread across the galaxy and connect countless civilizations.

It's like encountering a steep cliff while climbing a mountain, or encountering a tsunami whirlpool while sailing... The originally smooth interstellar journey has become full of crises and the future is uncertain.

The nameless guests who inherited the will of "exploration" have the greatest goal to repair the orbits polluted by the unknown cancer and restore the star orbits once established by Akivali, in addition to exploring the unknown.

Therefore, how to deal with the star core has become the most difficult problem for the nameless guests.

Otherwise, even if they repair the interstellar galactic orbit, if they do not deal with the core of the star properly, the same problem will occur again in time, and in the end it will only be a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.

And now, the star core was actually absorbed into the body of an ordinary girl. No matter what, the gray-haired girl has now become the biggest unstable factor in the space station. Ji Zi felt it was necessary to verify the condition of the gray-haired girl.

In fact, Jizi also had a selfish motive, that is, she could feel the gradually stabilizing trend of the star core from the gray-haired girl, which might mean that she had the ability to handle the star core, even if it was extremely weak, but Jizi still saw a faint glimmer of hope in the gray-haired girl.

Whether it was futile or a pipe dream, Ji Zi felt it was very necessary to discuss this matter with Heita.

"Are you looking for Ms. Black Tower? But I can't find her since a while ago... The projection radar tracking is malfunctioning, and the telemetry signal frequency is too high! It must be maintained at an average level! Sorry, I don't have time to take care of you right now. Let Alan take you to a safe place to rest first!"

Ester was feeling overwhelmed by the overwhelming amount of chaotic information. Her beautiful eyebrows were slightly furrowed, beads of sweat covered her pretty face, and even her breathing was a little rapid.
