For three days, Lu Yin was unable to contact Coco. His guess was right; the attacks had shifted from the hospital to the hotels and shopping malls. The entire pirate port was filled with a terrifying atmosphere, and the space station was packed to the brim. People were only allowed to leave, but not enter. Countless people wanted to escape the port.
Food and water were crazily snatched, along with all sorts of resources. Even Shamrock Enterprises' branch had been sold out. The Darkmist Weave's bank branch had long since evacuated, which indicated that something big was about to happen.
Three days later, at noon, Lu Yin finally managed to contact Coco.
"What's the matter, Brother Lu?" she asked.
Lu Yin was anxious. "Coco, my friend is heavily injured. Do you know anyone in Darkmist Weave?"
"Darkmist Weave?
Let me ask. "Coco hurriedly checked and asked Zora for help.
Coco quickly looked up. "Yes, Brother Lu. My senior is on a strange planet in Darkmist Weave."
"That's great! Tell me the location!" Lu Yin was delighted.
Coco was conflicted. "I don't know the location. I'll give you my senior's contact details so you can contact him yourself. I've already told him." She then sent Lu Yin a string of numbers. Lu Yin hurriedly cut off the call and dialed the number.
Soon, a voice answered, "Windrift Hall, Zeng Jie."
"I'm Lu Yin. Sorry, Coco must have mentioned me," Lu Yin said politely.
"Yes, I did. You can come find me. I'm at Darkmist Weave's pirate port. You know about it, right?"
Lu Yin was stunned for a moment before he was overjoyed. "I'm at the port as well."
Zeng Jie was clearly stunned as well. "Tell me your location, and we'll meet in the center."
Lu Yin immediately sent his location, and he quickly headed north with Zhuo Daynight in his arms.
Along the way, he stole a spacecraft and increased his speed to the maximum.
Zhuo Daynight's injuries seemed to have worsened, and her face was even paler than before. Her consciousness was hazy once more, and she kept muttering to herself.
Lu Yin did not know why he was so anxious. Her desperate and helpless eyes kept appearing in his mind, along with her weak and pale face. The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became.
The pirate port was huge, but the two of them were not far from each other. They met up in less than an hour.
The spy was a rather delicate looking man who was much older than Lu Yin. He had probably surpassed the limits of the younger generation, and there was a girl beside him. It was said that the Windrift Hall always split into pairs, and this girl was his partner.
............... Zhuo Daynight................. with her...........................................
..........................
The two simultaneously looked at Lu Yin.
................
Feng Jie nodded and didn't ask any more questions. To Windrift Hall, they would heal regardless of race. They only differentiated between good and bad, not race. This was Windrift Hall, which was why they had such a good reputation in the universe.
"Can he be saved?" Lu Yin asked nervously.
Hearing this question, the originally quiet spy raised his head and suddenly smiled proudly. "There is no patient that Windrift Hall can't save."
... Lu Yin was flabbergasted. Zeng Jie, who had seemed so dull, had suddenly become so arrogant.
The girl said, "Don't disturb him. Your little girlfriend isn't the most seriously injured patient he's ever saved."
Lu Yin hurriedly said, "She's not my girlfriend."
"Is that so?" The girl did not believe him and turned away.
Lu Yin was stunned. He seemed to have been too anxious.
He stood up and walked away to look at the dark pirate port. This planet was a battlefield, and countless people would be sacrificed. It was too sad.
"I heard from Coco that you're Astral-10's leader." The girl walked up to Lu Yin and asked curiously, "I'm Kaname, an expelled student of Astral-7."
Lu Yin was surprised, but he saw that Kaname did not seem to be affected by her expulsion. "I was lucky."
Kaname sized him up and smiled, "There's no luck in defeating the monsters of the Astral Combat Academy. Coco told us about the twelve new students, especially you. Thank you. If not for you, she might not have been able to get into the academy."
Lu Yin smiled, "You're welcome. With Coco's innate gift and speed, no one can stop her."
"That's because you don't know her. That girl is very timid. Once she hears that someone from the Blaze Realm is trying to stop her from taking the exam, she definitely won't dare to take it. No matter what, Windrift Hall owes you a favor."
Lu Yin smiled but did not reply. A favor from Windrift Hall was very valuable.
Kaname glanced at Zhuo Daynight, who was being treated, and asked again, "She's really not your girlfriend?"
Lu Yin shook his head, "We met by chance."
"That's good," said Carname.
Lu Yin was confused, "Why?"
Kaname looked at him seriously, "Don't have any feelings for her. If you do, erase them immediately. Otherwise, you won't be able to bear it for the rest of your life."
Lu Yin's eyes flashed, and he glanced at Zhuo Daynight before looking back at Kaname, "Why?"
Kaname shook her head, "This involves the Daynight clan, so it's not convenient for me to say too much. Listen to me, you absolutely cannot have any feelings for her. Otherwise, the consequences will be beyond your imagination." She then turned and walked towards Zeng Jie.
Lu Yin turned back, and the scene of Zhuo Daynight crying suddenly appeared in his mind. He also recalled the words she had muttered to herself: them, her parents, the Cage Technique.
Half a day later, Zeng Jie finally managed to bring Zhuo Daynight's injuries under control.
Zeng Jie stood up and wiped the sweat off his forehead. He seemed exhausted as he said, "Alright, she'll recover completely after a few more months of rest."
Lu Yin was grateful, "Thank you, Brother Zeng."
Zeng Jie smiled, "You're welcome. I still haven't thanked you for Coco."
"I've already said that Windrift Hall owes him a favor," Kaname said.
Lu Yin raised a hand, "You've already helped me save her, so I've already repaid the favor."
Zeng Jie's expression turned serious, "Brother Lu, that's not right. Saving people is Windrift Hall's mission. Even without Coco, I would still have helped you. After all, the more we save, the more destiny we have and the longer we can live."
Lu Yin blinked. These words sounded familiar, as if Coco had said something like this before. These people had really been fooled by their master.
"We should leave," Kaname reminded him.
Zeng Jie looked at Lu Yin, "Brother Lu, this planet is very dangerous right now. It's best if you leave immediately."
Lu Yin nodded.
Zeng Jie and Kaname quickly left, and Lu Yin picked up Zhuo Daynight. She had finally stabilized. He thought about it and flew his spacecraft towards the space station once more. It was time to leave.
More and more explosions swept through the pirate port, and countless people fled in panic. Lu Yin sat in his spacecraft and looked down, his heart filled with complex emotions.
Suddenly, his pupils shrank as he saw a familiar figure in the crowd. Who was that?
He parked his spacecraft on the roof and left Zhuo Daynight behind as he rushed towards the crowd.
Lu Yin quickly caught hold of a man in the crowd. The man was shocked and tried to knee him, but Lu Yin blocked him, "Big Chong, it's me."
The man looked at Lu Yin in shock and cried out, "Why are you here?"
Lu Yin pulled the man out of the crowd and happily asked, "Why are you here too?"
The man named Big Chong was anxious. "Did the family send you?
That's impossible. Why would they send you here? "
"What do you mean?" Lu Yin was uneasy.
"Don't ask me what I mean. Let's go, we have to leave immediately!" Big Chong grabbed Lu Yin and wanted to take him to the space station.
Lu Yin shook Big Chong off, as he had many questions to ask. Suddenly, he felt his scalp go numb as a blinding light descended. Everyone looked up and saw the final scene of their lives. A beam of light descended from the void and bombarded the ground, obliterating everything in its path. This was an attack from a warship.
"Little Seven, run!" Big Chong shouted.
The crowd howled in despair.
The buildings on both sides collapsed.
Lu Yin could no longer hear any of this, as he had been struck by the beam of light. He instinctively activated his Sirius Art, but against an attack that could kill an Explorer, any form of defense was useless.
With a boom, an entire street was reduced to dust, and Big Chong was sent flying by the violent impact. Lu Yin had used Flash at the last moment to avoid a direct hit, but even so, he had still been swept up by the shockwaves and spat out a mouthful of blood. His hair, clothes, and everything else had been incinerated. His body had been scorched, and his blood had been instantly charred. His body had been smashed into a distant wall like a pile of rotten meat, and he had lost consciousness.
Following that, another beam of light descended and bombarded the neighboring street, one after another. This was an attack that could destroy a planet, and anyone would be insignificant in the face of such an attack. Only space-exploring powerhouses could withstand it, but that did not include ordinary Explorers. This was because these beams of light had originally been used to deal with the Cruisers of the Leo clan.
The entire pirate port had been plunged into a sea of death as the beams of light mercilessly bombarded it, killing countless people.
On the abandoned street, Lu Yin's body had been destroyed to the point where not a single piece of flesh remained intact. Logically speaking, such injuries should have meant certain death, but the strange seal on his back that had prevented him from breaking through had appeared once more. It emitted a faint light that brought him back from the brink of death, and his body slowly recovered.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Yin vaguely heard someone speak.
"There's still someone alive here. Take him away."
"There's no need. There's not a single piece of flesh left on his body. He's dead for sure."
"It's none of your business. Take him to Driftcharge Planet. The higher-ups have ordered that as long as he's not dead, take him away."
"Understood."
…
There was a thump as Lu Yin painfully opened his eyes. The glaring light was unbearable, and his vision was blurry. What was going on?
"How can this person survive after being injured like this?"
"He was probably hit head-on. He's lucky that he didn't die."
"You still want to save someone like this?"
"Shh, of course not. It's meat."
"What meat?"
"The slaves on Driftcharge Planet can't even be considered humans. They eat anything."
"You mean?
Ugh … "
…
When Lu Yin regained consciousness for the third time, he saw himself falling from a high altitude. He had been thrown down from a high altitude, and the air he breathed in was rather pungent. His surroundings were dark red, and lightning flashed past him from time to time. He had seen such a scene before, and it usually occurred on a planet that was about to be destroyed. He looked down and his pupils shrank. He could vaguely see countless black dots below him. Were those … people?
