Back on Earth
Xia Fei had been in the Wild Star Region for more than two months, so he had accumulated a lot of unread mail.
Innumerable emails flooded out like crazy, and the microcomputer kept popping up on the screen. Even the computer's reaction speed had become a lot slower.
Xia Fei clicked close, temporarily blocking the thousands of emails. He was most concerned about Xiao Yu, so he could look at these emails later.
After some thought, Xia Fei decided to report to Heaven Execution Training Camp and find out about Xiao Yu and him being wanted.
Xia Fei was a librarian, so his direct superior was old man Qin Mangs. Not long after the call was sent, Qin Mangs video link was established.
You're back? Qin Mangs asked casually with a cup of tea in his hand, seemingly unconcerned about what Xia Fei had been up to in the past two months.
Yes, Ive just returned from the Wild Star Region, Xia Fei said with a smile.
Qin Mangs nodded. Its good that you're back. When are you going to report to the library? No one has been cleaning it lately, so the place is a mess again.
I need to go home first, then I need to go to the warship graveyard to repair the ship. It'll probably take half a month, Xia Fei said.
Oh, dont forget to bring a few hundred catties of Longjing tea when you go home. Ive become addicted to this tea recently, and Im not used to other teas.
Xia Fei was speechless. A few hundred catties of Longjing tea? That sounded like a few hundred catties of Longjing tea could only be produced in a year.
"No problem. I'll bring some other tea leaves for you to try." Xia Fei smiled. "Do you know about the insectoid warship? Was there a girl called Xiao Yu on it?
Xia Fei broke out in a cold sweat, anxiously waiting for news about Xiao Yu.
Nope. Qin Mangs answer was very simple and direct.
Xia Fei suddenly felt his heart throbbing as if several invisible needles were stabbing into it.
Forget it. Even if there's no Xiao Yu, at least I did a good deed. Xia Fei comforted himself in his heart, though he did not look too good.
From his conversation with Qin Mangs, Xia Fei learned that the insectoid ship was carrying some serious criminals from the Alliance. Due to some unspeakable reason, the Alliance did not usually execute criminals with high cultivation, instead freezing them in an alloy coffin.
It was said that this was because the criminals themselves were extremely rare geniuses. The Alliance believed that keeping their bodies could be used at some point in the future, such as putting explosive shackles on them during times of war and sending them on death missions, or one day extracting the genetic code from their bodies to create human clones.
Long before the space warp engine was invented, humans who wanted to travel long distances in space had to rely on cryonics technology. Humans were stored in a freezer at a temperature close to absolute zero, and when they reached their destination, they would be quickly thawed and released.
The Alliance's mastery of this technology was close to perfection. They could preserve a living person's life for a long time without dying.
Of course, these were just rumors. The higher-ups of the Alliance would never admit to any of this.
Xia Fei was very disappointed. He did not care at all why the insectoids would transport these frozen criminals back to their territory. It had nothing to do with him.
After capturing the insectoid ship, the Alliance's bounty on Xia Fei was naturally withdrawn. This news made Xia Fei feel a little better.
What followed was an endless stream of communication requests. The battalion commander of the training camp, Ye Jingshan, asked Xia Fei about the situation, President Robert asked about the situation, the military did a routine investigation, and Chen Dong, Beihai, Manjun, and Moon Song all video-called Xia Fei.
Everyone had the same question. 'Where did they go? What happened? How did they come back? ' Xia Fei was slowly getting annoyed by the repetitive questions and answers.
After answering everyone's questions, Xia Fei told Andre, who was on Earth, to get ready. He would be returning soon, so Andre was naturally very happy. Xia Fei even told him to prepare Sarah and Allen's food and clothing.
Actually, Sarah and Allen going to Earth was a win-win situation for Xia Fei. They were both experienced spaceship pilots, and Allen was very knowledgeable in high-precision radar systems. Their experience would be very helpful to the company, which was still in its infancy.
Back when Xia Fei was trapped in the asteroid belt in the Wild Star Region, it was Allen who first discovered Xia Fei's distress signal. It was enough to show how proficient he was in high-precision radar systems. Had it not been for Allen and Sarah, Xia Fei might have been trapped in the asteroid belt for the rest of his life.
Of course, he had to deal a heavy blow to his enemies until they were lying on the ground, but he had to repay people like Allen and Sarah who had saved his life. On one hand, it was out of gratitude, and on the other hand, it was because of his trust in them.
Trust was made up of two very simple Chinese characters, but it was filled with many complicated factors. Xia Fei would never easily trust anyone unless they had fought alongside him and helped him when he needed it the most.
Sarah and Allen were not very high-end professionals, but they had experience, and Xia Fei trusted them. Having them help out in his company would not only provide him with valuable experience, but it would also put him at ease, so why not?
Lighting a cigarette, Xia Fei quietly thought about what he needed to do when he returned to Earth. That was when the microcomputer popped up another screen, and Xia Fei chuckled when he looked up.
Aside from Avril, no one would be so unreasonable as to directly talk to him. He had no idea how she did it, but she seemed to be able to directly control Xia Fei's microcomputer, doing whatever she wanted. It had been a long time since they last met, and Xia Fei somewhat missed this eccentric young lady.
In the image, Avril was pouting. Her originally straight, blonde hair was now messy and draped over her shoulders. There were dark circles under her bright eyes, and she seemed to have lost a lot of weight.
She was sitting on a small chair, glaring at Xia Fei resentfully. The corner of her eyes seemed to be glistening with tears.
Are you sick? Xia Fei asked with some heartache, "How did you end up like this after not seeing you for two months?"
Avril shook her head and did not say a word. She just kept staring at Xia Fei, looking like she was about to cry.
Xia Fei smiled. I went to the Wild Star Region for a bit. That place was quite interesting. Ill bring you there when we get the chance.
Avril still did not say a word. Her fair hands kept rubbing the corner of her pajamas. Forcing a smile, Avril said, Don't do this next time. It's just a few insectoid spies. There's no need to chase after them so desperately.
This was more like the complaint of a little girl. Xia Fei felt a warmth in his heart as he nodded. Okay, I got it. Ill be sure to let you know before I do anything next time.
Also, your ship needs to be equipped with a high-power long-distance communication system in case I cant find you when you go to some weird place.
Ugh.
That thing consumes a lot of energy, so its not worth it. Why not use the energy on a weapon system or an electronic attack system? That way, we can maximize the impact on the enemy. Xia Fei furrowed his eyebrows.
Girls changed at a whim. Avril, who was originally fine, suddenly burst into tears. Xia Fei, youre the most annoying. Is combat that important? What if you go to a faraway place the next time?
Annoying! Annoying! Annoying! I dont care. If you dont install a high-power communication system, Ill never talk to you again! Avril said with tears and snot running down her face.
Xia Fei was speechless. He quietly asked Phantom in his mind, Did I say something wrong? A high-power communication system isnt really worth it.
Phantom seemed to be even more confused than Xia Fei. Youre right. Installing a substance analyzer is much more useful than a high-power communication system. Thats just a waste of energy.
Fortunately, Xia Feis mouth was not stupid. He immediately changed the topic when he saw that the situation was not right, telling a few funny jokes. Avrils heart was simple, and she soon smiled through her tears as she asked Xia Feis about his time in the Wild Star Region.
Ten or so minutes later, this innocent lady had completely forgotten about her crying and was quietly listening to Xia Fei tell her stories.
Earth Federation, New York.
The Vampire slowly landed in front of Andre's huge manor.
After not seeing each other for a long time, the few of them had to eat and drink to their heart's content. The happiest ones were Allen and Sarah. They had come from the desolate Wild Star Region, so the delicacies on Earth were like a dream to them.
Night fell. Allen and Sarah had already gone to sleep. Xia Fei, Andre, Wu Long, and Charlie set up a table outside the manor, enjoying the bright moonlight in the sky.
Xia Fei, youre already in the universe for half a year. You should have a good understanding of the society in the universe, right? Andre asked.
Xia Fei laughed bitterly. Truth be told, Ive been going to a lot of places recently, but not only did I not learn more about the universe, I got even more confused.
Why? Wu Long was a straightforward person and asked curiously.
The diameter of the Milky Way is 200,000 lightyears. There is only one habitable planet in the entire Milky Way, and that is our Earth. But did you know? A place like the Milky Way is only a very small part of the Endaro Star Region. The entire Pan-Human Alliance has over three hundred such star regions, and every star region is as big as the Endaro Star Region. In the entire universe, there are many other races besides the Pan-Human Alliance.
