Section 696

From that moment on, she would spare no effort, use every means possible.

Even if it meant sacrificing her own life!

She had to find every possible way to send the Brilliant Fleet, especially Xu Zi'an, back to the Human Race!

She could die.

Xu Zi'an could not!

Absolutely not!!!

If Xu Zi'an died here,

the loss and blow to the Human Race would be

too great.

It would be truly, truly too great!

No one among the Ladies knew what Shi Lingzhen was thinking.

A mere fifteen days passed in a flash.

The moment her Evolution was complete,

Shi Lingzhen immediately spoke, “Xiao An.”

“I presume you are in great need of these Materials now, aren’t you?”

“Since you can also extract them, I will take you to get some Materials now.”

Xu Zi'an was startled, but quickly realized what Shi Lingzhen was referring to: “Are you talking about your teammate?”

Shi Lingzhen was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, “Yes, it’s his.”

Then, without another word, she flashed into her starship.

With a thought, she attempted to activate it.

The starship, which had not been activated for a very long time, successfully started up with ease this time.

However, most of its functions were clearly unusable, with only the main cannon and the superluminal engine operational.

But having these was enough.

“Follow me.”

Shi Lingzhen’s voice echoed through the communicator.

The communicator could connect over short distances.

Therefore, communication could be achieved without necessarily needing a dark matter network.

This was unaffected in the Anti-Universe.

The Ladies also remained silent.

Because everyone could feel that Shi Lingzhen’s voice carried a heavy tone.

Afterward,

under Shi Lingzhen’s guidance, everyone flew in a certain direction.

This flight lasted for three full days.

No one knew how Shi Lingzhen managed to remember this place in the unmarked, pitch-black deep space.

Perhaps,

she had been here many, many times before.

What came into view

was also a colossal object.

But what shocked everyone even more was…

Although the starship before them was riddled with holes and severely damaged,

its approximate framework alone was enough to fill everyone with immense shock.

Xu Zi'an also had not expected…

Shi Lingzhen’s teammate was actually…

a super-powerful expert from a Zongxing-class Battleship!

The Town Starship Captain!

That massive object, estimated to be eighteen thousand meters in length, even though it had fallen and become a pile of scrap metal,

still exuded an unimaginably terrifying pressure.

And at this moment,

Shi Lingzhen’s voice also followed, “He… was my teammate, and my husband.”

Xu Zi'an and the others were silent.

Shi Lingzhen smiled, her laughter filled with nostalgia, anger, unwillingness, and deep affection: “Two hundred thousand years ago,”

“we were on a mission together.”

“Deep into the territory of the Insectoid Race.”

“That battle was fought fiercely.”

“Our small team, a total of twenty-seven people,”

“twenty-four died.”

“We annihilated countless enemies!”

“We destroyed an entire half of a galaxy belonging to the Insectoid Race!”

“Finally, many super-powerful experts from the enemy arrived.”

“The battle’s fluctuations caused intense spatial distortions, and my husband, another teammate, and I accidentally fell in.”

“Many enemies also fell in.”

“After another fierce battle, the remaining teammate died in combat.”

“My husband and I, our starship was severely damaged.”

“Fortunately, after one enemy escaped, all the remaining enemies were eliminated.”

“And then… we became lost here.”

“Finally, to allow me to survive, he… chose to end his own life without my knowledge.”

“And he told me not to betray his wishes, to find a way to survive and return to the Human Race.”

“Later, after my frantic search, I finally found that escaping Insectoid Race member.”

“I killed him.”

“But my starship was also completely damaged and could not be repaired.”

“Just as I was quietly waiting for death…”

“You arrived.”

“I thought at the time, if it were the Insectoid Race or the Alien Race who came, I would kill you, or you would kill me, and I could finally be free.”

“But I didn’t expect… it would be our Human Race compatriots.”

“I knew then that I couldn’t be free… I had to continue to cling to life.”

As she finished speaking,

Shi Lingzhen suddenly let out a light laugh.

But the words she spoke, and her tone,

were so low.

Death,

it seemed, was what she truly yearned for.

However,

Xu Zi'an and the Ladies all understood perfectly.

It was unimaginable.

What kind of determination and tragic resolve they carried when they ventured deep behind enemy lines.

Shi Lingzhen took another deep breath and said with a smile, “Alright.”

“After listening to this old woman’s rambling…”

“You now know who the starship that is about to be dismantled belonged to, and his origin.”

“His name is Muzihai.”
