In the year 2087, humanity reached an unprecedented peak in the exploration of technological power. Natural resources began to wither, and even the plants and animals in the tropical rainforests began to face mass extinction.

Humans continued to build luxurious things, occupying the birds' paradise with skyscrapers and destroying countless mole rats' homes with underground castles. But human influence did not end there. The Alliance Army recently completed the construction of a crystal energy base on the moon.

The former leader of the Alliance Army, Edward, once said, "The reproduction and survival of humans solely relying on solar energy is far from enough. Scientists have discovered that the moon is a crystal body radiating powerful energy. If we could utilize it, it would be an endless resource!"

"An endless resource?" His actions provoked public opinion, even the Secretary-General of the Serbachev Alliance Army, Elena, refuted, "Our planet is not a resource-extracting factory!"

The short-lived glory triggered human desire, and an unprecedented war broke out between nations, with countless lives lost in the fighting.

Technology crafted the brilliance of humanity, but also brought endless greed...

"The money and power it brings us often outweigh what we lose. And what I, Elena, have to do is to maintain world peace! To be a pioneer of the new world!"

At that time, Viktorch only said the first half of the sentence. As for the second half, what surprised me was... he showed it through his actions.

All of this had nothing to do with me. My purpose at that time was very simple, to find the lost presence of my sister, Youxiang.

"Unbelievable, truly unbelievable!" Kloss treated every corner of the cabin like a treasure, kissing and caressing, making me feel sick.

"It's just a spaceship. Why are you so infatuated with it?"

"Hey, isn't it surprising that Koisnov let us borrow a spaceship?"

"..."

Suddenly! There was a slight shaking in the cabin, and the roar of the spaceship was deafening. The dark cloud in front grew larger and larger.

"Warning, 300 kilometers ahead, aircraft will no longer be able to identify any flying objects!"

"Of all times, it had to be now!" I punched the hard voice generator heavily, feeling helpless. "No choice, use the flying vehicle to catch up!"

At this moment, the sudden warm reminder from the spaceship was enough to make me anxious. After all, although our current speed was about five times that of a hovercraft, once we entered the cloud layer, no matter how powerful the engine was, it would be counterproductive.

"Are you crazy?!"

Kloss held the direction with one hand and grabbed my collar anxiously, reminding me, "Why are you acting so nervously? Isn't that the same as sending us to death?"

Indeed, with such a severe storm outside, if we don't rescue Youxiang before entering the dark cloud layer, we won't be able to escape.

"Then why are we wasting our effort here and foolishly chasing after it?"

Resolutely, I walked into the landing module, took out the flight backpack, and instructed Kloss to handle the spaceship. Then I opened the hatch, activated the flight mode, and quickly propelled forward.

"Haha, Juxi! Do you think I would leave you behind? Don't even think about it!"

Kloss unexpectedly switched the spaceship to auto-navigation mode and followed suit. I glanced at him, surprised that this computer geek also knew how to use a gun.

"Kloss, get ready with the suction cups. We need to stay on the back wing of the spaceship!"

With two splashes, Kloss and I attached ourselves to the sides of the spaceship. However, Kloss was still a novice, and he was somewhat unfamiliar with the task. Shortly after landing, he was accidentally blown away by a strong gust of wind.

"Kloss--!"

"I'm fine, quickly detach the propulsion system from the rear of the spaceship!"

In the nick of time, Kloss held onto the tail of the spaceship and climbed back up. It made me feel guilty for no reason.

"Do you know? You got my heart to my throat!"

"It's fine," Kloss struggled with his tied-up body, like a dumpling that couldn't be unwrapped, and had to ask for my help. "Don't stand there, kid. Come over and give me a hand!"

"Middle-aged man, you deserve to act young?!"

I carefully crawled over the surface of the shell.

"I count to three, then we press the button together." We stuck the laser cutter to the spaceship's engine. As long as we didn't cut off the floating system on the wings, the spaceship wouldn't crash.

"Countdown, three seconds, Juxi, move back quickly!"

With a loud shout from Krus, two beams of fiery red laser shot out like sharp swords, and the spaceship's engine disappeared in a matter of seconds.

"Prepare the ammunition and activate the space separator!"

(Inside the spaceship)

In a small room, only Yuxiang and Yuanhui sat face to face. Yuxiang sat silently in a chair, ignoring Yuanhui.

"You have the right to remain silent. My mission is not to open your mouth but to deliver you to our superiors!" Yuanhui arrogantly clapped his hands and said, "Take her to the prison and guard her closely. We can't afford any mistakes!"

"Ahhhh!"

The soldiers outside the door screamed, including the two soldiers next to Yuanhui, who were on high alert.

"There's an intruder!" Yuanhui pointed his gun at the door and ordered them, "Go see what's happening!"

"Sorry, our orders are to protect Lieutenant Yuan."

These soldiers ignored his suggestion, causing him great frustration.

Boom! Krus checked the coordinates on his wrist and pressed me to the ground. He put his index finger to his mouth, signaling me to be quiet, and then said, "The intruder is in this room!"

"Get ready to break down the door!"

Drip Drip Drip...

Boom! After a loud noise, the iron door turned to ashes as if it were paper. Yuanhui immediately grabbed Yuxiang by the neck and started retreating.

"Put down your guns!"

Three people aimed their guns at us, and with a hostage, the situation couldn't get worse.

At first, I refused to put down my gun and take the opportunity to shoot Yuanhui. But he had Yuxiang, who was pale and frightened, so I reluctantly surrendered and raised my hands.

"Juxi... don't!"

Yuxiang tried to stop me but struggled again in Yuanhui's strong hands.

"Huh?"

Krus was first stunned by my actions, then widened his eyes and sneered, throwing his gun on the ground. He complained bitterly to me, "Ugh, why did I end up with such an unlucky guy like you?"

"Who asked you to make that choice? Since you did, just take a chance!"

My indifferent expression made Krus a little anxious, but what else could he do when we both threw our guns away? Krus sighed helplessly.

"Go and tie them up. I have hostages, so they won't dare to act rashly!" Yuanhui said, glancing meaningfully at us. "What are you waiting for? Is it too late when they tie us up? Hurry up!"

"Yes!"

Two soldiers in Irena Corporation's logo military uniforms casually approached us, unaware that there was a gun aimed at them from behind.

Bang Bang!!

"You..."

The heads of the two soldiers were instantly blown open. Yuanhui calmly released Yuxiang and came over to punch me in the chest.

"Why did you guys take so long?" Yuanhui spat on the head of one of the soldiers, venting his dissatisfaction to me.

"These two idiots were watching me closely, making it impossible for me to find an opportunity to take over the ship."

In the end, it seemed like I was the one in the wrong. After all, didn't Yuanhui push me off the cliff and almost kill me in the beginning?

"You have the nerve to say that," I shrugged but still complimented him, "But you really did it, making these idiots go in a big circle, otherwise we wouldn't have caught up."

"Hey, who's in control of the cockpit now?"

"..."

The noise in the room immediately stopped. If no one was guiding the route, it couldn't be... Los Angeles!

"We will reach our destination in thirty minutes!"

The spaceship was descending slowly, and below were endless waves. If we fell, we might sink! (There was a big hole behind)

"I'll team up with Kruce, you team up with Youmu!" Yuanhui said and fixed himself on the back of the flying backpack, flying away with Kruce.

"Juxi, let's catch up."

"Alright, remember not to look down, be careful not to get dizzy!"

Despite my repeated instructions, Youmu still obediently clung to my back and got onto the flying backpack, urging me to leave this haunted place.

"Alright, hold on tight!"

I gave her a last reminder and accelerated to the maximum power and flew out, Ahhhhhh...!!!

Youmu firmly held onto my waist and screamed.

"Hey hey hey, my ears are going deaf by you!"

"You're driving too fast, slow down a bit!"

"No, in the storm, if we're not careful, we might end up feeding the sharks."

I intentionally scared her, but I didn't expect her face to show a horrified expression, immediately becoming silent.

"Haha, you're really funny when you're teasing, do all young ladies like you act all foolish and cute like this?"

"What?" When she heard what I said, she was happy, but immediately turned her face and punched my shoulder, pretending to be angry, "How dare a mere servant fool around with this young lady?!"

"Yes, yes, I'm sorry, I won't do it again."

"As long as you understand!"

Of course, I wasn't joking. The rain kept hitting the position of the flying backpack thruster. It could really go out at any time!

Yukari, blushing, hugged my waist tightly again, her sticky clothes making me a little uncomfortable.

"What's wrong?"

Am I still worried or should I ask her, "Are you still scared?"

"La...ter!"

"Huh, what did you say?"

The heavy rain and the waves drowned out Yukari's faint voice. When I asked her again, she didn't answer.

"Let's go home..."

If Yukari wants to go home, we'll go home, we'll follow her!

"Yes! We'll be back in Fukuoka soon..."

"I mean, let's go to my father's hometown in Ilyana!"

"What did you say?!"

This sentence inevitably caused a huge wave in my heart. Going to Ilyana is just seeking death!

"I..."

"Please, " tears filled Yukari's eyes, "My father is very likely to be in danger, but...sob sob sob sob!"

"Okay, I'll accompany you!"

As a daughter, how can I not worry about my father? After that, what happened was that we met Yu Nai and the others at the Lafite Campground, but the only thing I did wrong...I regretted why I agreed to her? If I didn't agree to her, this wouldn't have happened!
