Chapter 454: Love you, Mom, don't worry about me

"What happened?"

"It should be aimed at the Nightmare-type shock bomb."

"The well-informed Qiong said."

"Then does this planet have a chance?"

"You're overthinking it."

"Wuwuwu my comic book...."

"Xiao Jiu was still howling; anyone could see her despair."

"That was her treasured little book she'd kept for a long time!"

"The starry sky outside the planet rippled, a bright light came from afar, drawing nearer."

"It was a decent-looking fleet; they precisely made an emergency stop before the planet's gravity field."

"That navigation method was familiar to Zhang Jie; it's the mainstream way nowadays, namely warp travel."

"The AI Star Alliance's response is still quick; I didn't expect them to arrive at the disaster site in just an hour."

"Qiong naturally thought this was the AI Star Alliance's fleet, but in fact it wasn't specially sent by the human female to resolve things here."

"What you see is the retreat of the 'blank' phenomenon, proving most people have awakened, but many still turn into blanks and keep infecting normal people."

"Those who came are likely just emergency fleets, without any large-scale destructive weapons."

"Qiong's projection gave Zhang Jie a teasing look."

"If you're still thinking about your little broken scrap recycling station, just go back and play some tower defense, waiting for support to arrive."

"Xiao Jiu's eyes lit up instantly."

"You mean! My treasures can still be saved!"

"Xiao Jiu was anxiously eager, but she still looked at Zhang Jie; those things definitely weren't as important as his safety."

"But she felt Zhang Jie had the ability to accomplish these things."

"Maybe he's still plotting to capture some monsters for research."

"Sure enough, Xiao Jiu's understanding of Zhang Jie was sufficient; she saw his thoughtful eyes suddenly brighten."

"Qiong, you say if we go back, with the things I've made, how high is the safety factor?"

"Qiong's projection chuckled, she confidently puffed out her chest, like a soldier saluting."

"Driver sir, with just me I can protect you all safely!"

"OjbK! Let's go take them on!"

"Ma'am, we haven't found any remains of humans or mechanical life."

"Nor have we found any corpses related to the 'blank'; the person you're looking for has likely already fled."

"Hearing this, the human female finally relaxed with a sigh of relief; fortunately, the ship life beside her still had some use."

"Although three ship lives are basically useless for interstellar-level combat, on a planet they're more than enough to deal with those disasters."

"This world is cruel; even the gene tech that claims everyone is a soldier can't give most people genetic enhancement, not just because of cost, but also because of the population size in civilization."

"Find them; you must ensure their safety—disaster invasion is no joke."

"The human female hung up the comms and immediately sent a message to the AI Star Alliance's disaster officer."

"As soon as the other party picked up, the human female launched into a tirade."

"Um, the specific content isn't convenient to show; basically she berated them for why the disasters in their own star domain were about to break out right under their noses, yet they were unaware."

"Regarding this person who might one day become the Star Sea overlord, the other side could only keep apologizing and ask why you pay so much attention to our star domain."

"My son is there picking.... vacation!"

"One sentence almost blew up the other side; thinking what to say, the human female had already hung up."

"As the weakest but most disgusting disaster, Nightmare has the top spreading ability and eeriness."

"Under the Nightmare wave, even paper figures inside electronic items can come out to kill, having the ability to turn anything possible or impossible into blanks."

"But fortunately, these things aren't especially destructive, so they're easy to handle."

"The human female worried until her hair fell out; the next moment she received a transmission from her own fleet."

"Ma'am, the person you're looking for seems to have... come back again."

"Human female:?"

"Huh?!"

"On the other side, at this moment Qiong held a Position Shield in her left hand and a personal electromagnetic cannon in her right, aiming at the fully armed squad and ship life ahead."

"Who are you!"

"Meanwhile the squad members were waiting for the human female's orders."

"Don't start conflict with them; just say we're rescue personnel."

"Said that, the ship life said we don't resemble them."

"Human female:......"

"That's the ship girl from a military background, right? Vigilance is good...."

"Tell them we mean no harm, just searching for survivors."

"Oh right, that human inside said he's interested in our antimatter gun, wondering if he could buy one to play with...."

"Zhang Jie? Well, no wonder he's my son!"

"Sell it to him, price it a bit higher—just consider it filial to his mom."

"Other side:......"

"Ma'am, he said could you also sell him some bullets...."

"Give it!"

I've transferred it to you.

Okay... okay.

Remember to be careful, don't just take it apart... it will collapse...

Okay, thank you.

The squad in front of him nodded, then turned to leave; Zhang Jie watched their backs, already forming a guess in his mind.

Hey! Wait!

On the other side.....

Ma'am, we have completed our mission, and we have given the reminders that needed to be given.

Hmm, very good.

The human female was very satisfied; she hoped Zhang Jie could go farther.

As for those antimatter guns, she believed that with her child's hands-on ability, they could definitely tame that gun.

When the time comes, after I bring my child back, we mother and child will work together! We'll surely create some earth-shaking commotion!

Mm-hmm~

The human female nodded in great satisfaction; she was very pleased with Zhang Jie's current growth, the only regret perhaps being that she cannot meet Zhang Jie now.

Ah, I still miss the days when we picked up trash every day.

Just as the human female was secretly feeling down, the teammate opposite suddenly spoke.

Ma'am, uh... that person finally said something, asking me to bring it to you.

Do you want to hear it?

The human female felt a pang of doubt—had her child brought a message for her? What could it be?

She was very curious.

Go ahead, let's hear it.

Um... he said...

He said... 'Love you, Mom, don't worry about him.'

The human female stared, light halo swirling in her pupils, but before it could fall, she wiped it away.

A slightly nasal voice sounded slowly.

Hmm, thank him for me.
