The scattered wreckage caused the people on the spaceplane to feel cold all over.
What on earth happened? Maybe they had guessed it already, but there was always a voice in their hearts roaring loudly to deny that guess.
The familiar patterns, colors, and emblems on the wreckage were familiar. They had piloted this kind of fighter before, but now it was scattered into pieces in this cold, infinite space. It looked exceptionally lonely and tragic against the dark background of space.
Some of these pieces obviously didn't belong to the Sixth Division, but they couldn't be sure who they belonged to. From the amount of wreckage they saw, it was obvious just how intense the battle here had been.
The Sixth Division's main starship was parked there quietly, and the B Squad's starship was beside it. Both the main starship and the B Squad's starship were covered in holes and dents. It was obvious that they had suffered a fierce collision, and it was almost an encirclement attack. The engineering robots were repairing the damage.
While the spaceplane was slowly approaching the starship, Kari had already begun to lose control of his emotions. He kept sending messages to the main starship and the B Squad, but there was no response. Finally, the communication went through.
Shotton's exhausted face appeared on the screen, "We'll talk after you return to the starship."
Shotton cut off the communication once he was done. Kari kept sending call requests to Dias's B Squad's starship, but there was no response. Kari didn't care what the people inside the spaceplane were saying. He just kept pressing the call request button.
Tang Qiuqiu hugged her little backpack and curled up in her chair. She was terrifyingly silent. There were a lot of things she didn't know, but she came from Sector V after all. She knew very well what a battle of this scale meant. Tang Qiuqiu buried her face into her backpack. For the first time ever, she was afraid to know the result.
Silin stared expressionlessly at the scenery outside displayed on the screen. His fingers repeatedly stroked the hair on Huimao's back. Huimao was also very obedient and didn't make a fuss.
The spaceplane flew into the starship. The moment it came to a stop, Kari rushed out, "Where … where is he?! Where's Beaver? Where's Eudy? Where's the vice-captain?! "
Silin walked slowly behind them. From the moment the spaceplane entered the starship, he knew that they could no longer rush out of the starship. The starship's passageway behind them had been sealed layer by layer. This was probably because Shotton was afraid that they would rush out with their fighter or spaceplane on impulse.
Afraid that they would be impulsive? Has the situation become so serious?
Beaver, Eudy, Little Eight, Xiao Shang, Dias … not a single one of them was present.
They entered from the starship of the small team. After they entered, the small team's starship docked with the main team's starship.
Generally speaking, every spacecraft that came in from the outside had to be inspected to prevent any foreign threats from being brought into the starship without their knowledge. The person in charge of the inspection had always been Engi, but not today. Instead, it was Engi's assistant. Although the assistant was wearing a protective mask and his expression couldn't be seen, Silin noticed that his hand holding the cleaning tube was still trembling.
Silence. It was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
Shotton had someone bring them to the main ship and briefly explained the situation.
A day after Silin and the others left, the Sixth Division ran into Poison Fang. This was something Shotton had been trying to avoid all this time, but he never succeeded. No one expected Poison Fang to pass through here. They did not try to hide themselves, and it was as if they wanted to tell everyone where they entered Sector Z, where they passed through, and which direction they went.
Running into Vanguard Division Six was also unexpected for Poison Fang, but it also stimulated their bloodthirst. They would fight the four great Hunter regiments if they could run into them, and they would not give them any face at all.
Originally, the Sixth Squad should not have suffered too much of a loss against Poison Fang even if their new energy weapon had not been developed yet. But the problem was that when Poison Fang came over, a couple of small teams were scouting the planet and isolated from the starship. Therefore, when Poison Fang's fighters attacked, the situation was very disadvantageous.
Poison Fang's people had attacked in a suicidal manner and did not care about anything else. It was easy to imagine what kind of attack the scouts on the planet had encountered.
Less than half of the people returned safely from the planet. Dias and Lu Suo were heavily injured and were still in the ICU. Akaí, Waqin, the two lieutenants, and more than thirty members were captured. As for why they were captured and not something else, Shotton did not say.
There were also some members who returned to the starship who were still heavily injured and in critical condition, such as Beaver, Eudy, and the others.
Although Xiao Shang and Ba Dao were injured, their injuries were not serious. They had been staying on the medical floor of the main ship all this time.
The medical floor of the main ship was filled with hurried paramedics, and the members who were waiting anxiously outside the emergency rooms.
When Celine came up, she saw Ba Dao and Xiao Shang standing outside the door of an ICU. Their expressions were heavy, and they seemed to be in a very depressed mood. Kari said a few words to them before covering his eyes and leaning against the wall.
Feeling his hand being held, Silin turned his head and saw that Tang Qiuqiu was holding her bag with one hand and tightly holding Silin's hand with the other. It was as if she was holding onto the last life-saving rope. Up until now, Tang Qiuqiu had not said a word or cried. She simply stared blankly at the sickroom with wide eyes. She did not see clearly who was lying inside the sickroom, and she was also afraid to find out. Her feet felt like they were nailed to the ground.
Silin crouched down and picked up Tang Qiuqiu. Then, he walked towards the sickroom. The closer he got, the tighter Tang Qiuqiu's grip on Silin's hand became.
Through the transparent barrier, Silin saw the people inside. It was Eudy, Beaver, and a few other members of the same team. They were lying quietly in the ICU. From the equipment and the data displayed on their bodies, Silin knew that they were not out of danger yet. He did not know how long they would stay like this, and he did not know who would be able to survive until the end.
"Where's the vice-captain?" Silin looked at Xiao Shang.
"In … that … ward."
Xiao Shang pointed at a sickroom. His voice was still trembling and suppressed. However, when Silin saw the sickroom Xiao Shang was pointing at, he sighed in relief. That sickroom was the one that was out of danger.
Silin carried Tang Qiuqiu and walked to the sickroom Xiao Shang mentioned. Through the barrier, Silin saw Dias lying on the bed. He was probably asleep. Assia was guarding him. Her eyes were red and she looked haggard.
Silin and Tang Qiuqiu walked into the sickroom. When they entered, they realized that Dias was missing an arm.
Looking at the stable data displayed on the equipment, Silin patted Tang Qiuqiu's head. "Vice-captain is fine. He'll wake up after a nap. You and Vice-captain Assia stay here with Vice-captain. I'll go check on the others, okay? "
Tang Qiuqiu lowered her head and nodded. Assia got up and led Tang Qiuqiu to the other side to sit down. Her movements were gentle, afraid that she would wake Dias up.
After leaving Dias's sickroom, Silin asked around before heading to another sickroom in the intensive care unit.
The people in the intensive care unit in this area were in a worse condition than Eudy and Beaver. At least Eudy and Beaver could still recover. However, the people here had already been sentenced to death. The treatment would only allow them to stay in this world for a while longer.
Non-medical personnel were not allowed to enter the sickroom because they would carry germs. Silin stood there quietly and looked at the people inside.
The person lying on the sickbed, who was almost completely covered by the medical equipment, seemed to have sensed something. He raised his hand to lift the equipment off his head. The medical staff next to him wanted to stop him but was waved away by the hands. It was hard to imagine that he still had the strength to push away the medical staff in such a situation.
"Silin, come here."
