Chapter 170 Don’t cry, my baby

“I thought that the Marshal would try his best to keep Qianqian where she is.” Half of Bo Lan’s face was hidden in the darkness, and his brown eyes flashed with a hint of anger.

“Your Highness and you clearly know that Rhodes deliberately lured Qianqian to Area 7377.”

“What does General Bo think Rhodes wants to do with Qianqian? Kill her? That cunning man has had countless opportunities to do so.”

“And as Qianqian’s most loyal follower, why didn’t you speak up to stop it?” Ian raised his eyelids, glanced at Bo Lan lightly, and whispered to his subordinates beside him to hide the coordinates of the warship and prepare to land in area 7377.

“Because you can’t disobey her.” Ian stared at their destination on the light screen.

“However.” A hint of gloom flashed in Ian’s eyes, “If Qianqian will be harmed in the slightest, His Highness Soltz and I don’t mind razing District 7377 to the ground.”

——Then he maintained a calm and gentle smile and told the girl that everything would be resolved as she wished.

The moment the battleship entered area 7377, the outermost protective film seemed to hit something and suddenly shook and fell downward.

“Marshal! The battleship suffered an anti-gravity impact!” The guard quickly controlled the screen showing a red warning and unfolded the spare wing.

“Anti-tracking and stealth modes are lifted!” The soldier next to him suddenly broke out in sweat, “Marshal, Rhodes’ tracking radar is locking onto us!”

“Activate heavy armor mode.” Ian said slowly, “Prepare missiles.”

His blue eyes narrowed, and it seemed that even if the claws and fangs were pulled out, the tiger would still be a tiger.

This 7377 area, which ranked last in the Federation in terms of weapons display and high-end technology, turned out to be Rhodes’ real hidden lair.

“Heavy armor mode activation failed!” More and more red warnings appeared on the battleship’s screen.

“Unknown lasers are trying to disintegrate the battleship!”

Ian walked quickly to the control room and pressed the button calmly.

“Since he wants to disintegrate us, we should be one step ahead of him and separate the battleship.”

He looked towards Bo Lan with his deep blue eyes.

“From now on, Admiral Bo Lan must remember to stay by Qian Qian’s side every step of the way.”

It seems that Rhodes’ ultimate goal will slowly unfold from this moment.

The sounds of missiles hitting, small fighter jets falling, and explosions covered by machine guns rang out one after another, and finally stopped abruptly the moment they landed on the land of Area 7377.

With a plop, a capsule-type battleship ejection compartment plunged into the mud.

Qianzhi was held in Bo Lan’s arms, listening to the sounds outside, which suddenly became quiet.

The man carefully opened the hatch a crack and aimed a small gun out.

The muscles of Bo Lan under her were as tight as steel, as if he was always ready to use his body to help her block any impending danger.

“What’s wrong, Alan?” The man next to her was stunned for a moment when he looked out through the gap.

His spiritual body, the brown wolf, was huddled next to Qianzhi, its furry ears rubbing against her face, its wet tongue brushing across the corners of her lips, its tail wagging slightly.

That is the canine sentinel’s subconscious signal that it is temporarily safe.

“It looks like there is a garden outside.” Bo Lan paused, looked around, and then let Qianzhi stick his head out to look.

Qianzhi’s sight extended out from the gap.

She saw the clear, cloudless blue sky and lush green grass dotted with countless light red flowers.

They bloom gracefully and sway with the breeze, comfortable and lazy, like a carefree girl.

This area is completely different from the deep and dark sky of the Federation’s main city star. It is like a paradise. Not far away is a huge white house.

In front of the house, there are colorful bouquets of flowers.

In the middle of the swaying bouquets, there seemed to be a girl in a white dress standing, looking at them from afar.

But in the blink of an eye, the girl disappeared again.

“Xia Dolan.” Qianzhi murmured.

“Are you talking about the sentry?” Bo Lan followed Qianzhi’s gaze, but could only see the colorful flowers.

“The location of the ejection cabin is not hidden enough. We need a better cover.” Bo Lan observed his surroundings while being alert to possible enemies nearby.

But he was held by Qianzhi’s hand and walked towards the house.

“Qianqian, it’s not safe there!” He took two or three steps to Qianzhi, but the girl gently poked his taut waist and abdominal muscles.

“Alan.” The girl’s emerald eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything raised up and stared into his eyes, “I think I know what Rhodes’ purpose is.”

“But,” her expression was tinged with a strange kind of pity, “his goal will ultimately fail.”

Melodious piano music came from the house gently and quietly.

The man sitting on the sofa with his back to them was bending over and organizing something with his hands. When he heard the footsteps behind him, he did not turn around, but greeted them softly.

“I’m sorry to have led you here in this way, Guide Qianzhi, Admiral Bo Lan.”

Rhodes stood up from the sofa, his grey eyes, like dust-free glass in the sunlight, taking on a bit of warmth.

“Please allow me to introduce you to my daughter, Xia Rhodes.”

Next to his chair is a huge sarcophagus.

Inside was a girl in white who seemed to be sleeping.

“I was not a sentry, but an ordinary person.” He turned his head to look at the girl in the coffin. His expression was calm, but Qianzhi felt that he was in tears.

“The Federation has a strict hierarchy, with a clear distinction between ordinary people and special people with spiritual bodies. But my daughter was found to have an extremely strong spiritual body when she was only three years old. This is something unbelievable for the Federation.”

“So they took her away from me, and even her last name was erased.”

Rod closed his eyes.

Such a soft, fair and fragile little person, with his newly braided hair, his little face wrinkled up as he cried and struggled in the hands of the hateful sentry.

She cried so sadly that it seemed as if she was pulling his heart out of his chest.

Don’t cry, my baby.

He wanted to say this to her and hug her tight, but he was knocked to the ground by the sentry, blood flowed from his nose and mouth, and despair swallowed him.

His only light, his love, was taken away from him.

“Maybe it was despair, hatred, or something else,” Rod said in a light tone, “After that, I burst out with the power of my spiritual body. Under a chance introduction, I entered the Inspection Office and slowly climbed up step by step to become one of those…”

His eyes were full of sarcasm, “Those big shots in the eyes of a special group of people.”

His Xia had been studied by a scientific research institute, his appearance had been reconstructed, and some of his memories had been erased. He searched for a long time before he found his little Xia.

But before he could hold his baby in his arms again, he could tell her not to be afraid.

His little Xia had died in the war.
