Xi Yu was too weak, and Xiao Qiqi’s distance was too far to hear at all.
“System, can you open it for a moment?”
With a thud, the person next to Xi Yu collapsed in response.
The corners of Xi Yu’s mouth lifted slightly, looking a little embarrassed.
It turned out that the person killed by Shi Xujing was just the leader of this group. He originally fell quietly but then secretly got up, preparing to strike Xi Yu.
Just in time, Shi Xujing, who had just stood up, noticed him and delivered a heavy blow.
Xi Yu sighed slightly. Xi Qi also saw the situation here and ran over with her little short legs.
Hugging Xi Yu, whose body was lying on the ground, her big watery eyes were filled with heartache.
“Sister, can you please not use that move anymore? Please?”
Xi Yu felt a bit troubled. Although there was a brief moment of weakness, it was still a very powerful attack and was quite useful in saving life.
Tears instantly filled the bottom of Xi Qi’s eyes as she looked at Xi Yu, as if threatening to cry if Xi Yu didn’t agree!
Xi Yu looked helplessly at Xi Qi. “I promise I won’t use it recklessly in the future.”
— Is this really something a streamer would do?
— How did the streamer manage to make the live broadcast signal unstable?
— Curious +1
— Ahhhh! I still think, how can Little Qiqi be so cute?
— This is simply the springtime for face-loving folks! I really like Little Qiqi!
— Little Qiqi is just too cute.
…
Shi Xujing’s eyes brightened but he concealed it well. Looking at the two sisters, he spoke up.
“We should leave this place of chaos first. It’s too messy here. If we are discovered by their people, we will be finished.”
Shi Xujing stepped forward to support Xi Yu, and Xi Qi carefully helped Xi Yu, as if she were supporting a fragile porcelain doll.
After following Shi Xujing and making a few turns, they unknowingly entered some place filled mostly with weak children and some elderly people who could not take care of themselves. There were very few young and middle-aged people, basically none.
Each were thin as bones, skin stretched tightly over bone, with exceptionally clear skeletal structure. There was no hope on their faces, only confusion and helplessness.
In their eyes, there was only despair.
Xi Yu’s eyes were filled with pity, but her hand only tightened around Xi Qi’s, without making any other movements.
— What is this, a hell on earth?
— Thankful to be born in this current interstellar era. I’m beginning to feel grateful.
— No regrets in this life, I still want to be an interstellar soul in the next life.
— Can someone come out and tell me if this is a script?
— I’m getting older, and my heart isn’t good. I can never face these things calmly.
— Salute.
— I desperately need someone to tell me this is a script and not real!
— Getting older, my tears just won’t stop anymore.
…
Xi Yu looked at Shi Xujing beside her. “Can I ask about these people? Why didn’t they leave when the planet was evacuated?”
Shi Xujing smiled bitterly and replied, “Some people have a strong attachment to their hometown. They think that since they’re going to die anyway, it’s better to stay in a place they’re familiar with. So they decided to stay behind.”
“And some…”
Shi Xujing fell silent for a long time and then spoke, “Do you know about genetic defects?”
Shi Xujing’s gaze was fixed on Xi Yu, not letting go of any changes in her expression.
Xi Yu’s beautiful eyes remained calm, slightly fluttering. “What’s wrong?”
Shi Xujing showed a bitter smile. “Some children with genetic defects are disposed of at birth, but their parents refuse to do so, so they hide them. However, these children generally cannot access the lightbrain, so when the evacuation happens, they are left behind.”
