On the Importance of Finishing Work

Capital Star, Seventh Hospital.

Meryl was seriously injured in that explosion. Even if she woke up now, she was still required to observe in the hospital for a period of time.

According to the doctor, Meryl is recovering well, but Coria is very worried.

She has seen Meryl staring at the ceiling several times in a daze, without moving her eyes for a long time.

After asking the doctor in private, after confirming that Meryl's condition would not be adversely affected.

Leah began to take the initiative to play some popular videos on the star network, and she hoped to mobilize Meryl's reaction to the outside world.

……

Meryl actually knew what Leah was thinking...

She is also very grateful to Leah for taking care of her all these years.

Compared with the cold "mother" in the Griffin family, Leah, who took care of her since she was a child, is actually more like her "mother"...

She was just suddenly very, very tired...

That dream was so beautiful, but in comparison, the reality is too cold... It was so cold that she almost felt suspicious——

Will she still find her little Sylvie?Or, is little Sylvie still...alive?

For ten years, she has firmly believed that her little Sylvie must be somewhere in the world, waiting for her, waiting for her to find it!

— she is so determined.

Or maybe, it's just... not daring to doubt!

Because as long as there is a little bit of doubt, she can't help guessing and imagining.

Just like now, as soon as she closes her eyes, such a scene will appear in front of her eyes:

The little Sylvie curled up in the corner, the spirit in her bright and clear eyes dissipated little by little... She opened her mouth, but she only made a weak mouth shape, and couldn't even make a breathy sound.

But Meryl knew - she was calling "Mommy"!she is calling me! !

Her heart seemed to be torn apart by something, and Meryl couldn't help curling up sideways in pain.

The projected light screen changed direction following her turn, and the child's voice inside was immature but firm, "We can't retreat anymore."

An immature face was reflected in the pupils of the eyes, the clear red eyes were like her little Sylvie, the body wrapped in the military uniform was thin but tall and straight.

If her little Sylvie was in...

This thought flashed through her mind, but Meryl shivered violently as if an electric current was flowing through her body.

She suddenly opened her eyes wide and turned over to sit up. Leah next to her was saying something, but she couldn't hear her at all.

She raised her arm and stretched out her trembling fingers to touch the image on the light screen, but before she touched it, she suddenly stopped.

——Her Xiao, Xi, Er, Wei...

And at this moment, the pearl of water.

Shi Jiujiu looked at the calm water and told himself desperately: Don't cry, don't cry! !

She is a brave little girl!She's the brave kid who played Marshal Griffin! !

but……

"Ugh-"

The tears seemed to have their own consciousness, and they fell in the blink of an eye. Even if they tried their best to suppress it, there was a sob in their throats.

Shang He quickly discovered the reason—in the opened box, there were the second to fifth generation "Broken Star" models, but the front shelf was empty, and he remembered the "broken star" model that fell into the water just now. Shang He knew the shadow.

The child on the opposite side was sobbing and sobbing.

Shang He unexpectedly remembered the young Marshal Griffin he saw in the research institute...

Not only the silver hair, but also the chubby little face is somewhat similar.

However, even the one who was a child wouldn't cry like that, right?

As Shang He thought about it, his heart softened suddenly. He raised his hand and pressed his own space button.The next moment, a mecha model appeared in the palm of his hand.

He rubbed it a little bit reluctantly, and spread his hands forward...

【"Don't cry...this is for you..."

The silver-haired young man had a gentle smile on his face, and he couldn't see the chill when he was manipulating the steel giant just now. 】

"Don't cry... this... I will pay you..."

Shi Jiujiu was stunned, she looked at the "Broken Star" in the palm of the stranger, wondering if she should pick it up or not.

——You can’t just take things from strangers, but… it was this person who knocked her broken star off first…

After taking care of the child, I am very sensitive to the cry of the child.

The movement here, of course, attracted all the parents, and Shi Jiujiu looked at his brother for help.

To be honest, Shi Yue was a little shocked at the moment.

——The mission items will be delivered to your door by yourself.

He always thought that such a good thing would only happen to the Son of Destiny... Unexpectedly...

He couldn't help but look at his sister... Maybe it's a hidden child of destiny?

But the kid who didn't get a response from his brother was a little anxious, and his eyes for help turned into pleading in an instant—obviously, he wanted it very much.

Only then did Shi Yue withdraw his wandering thoughts, and nodded slightly.

With her brother's permission, Shi Jiujiu's face immediately turned into a smile. She pulled up her skirt and saluted the man, "Thank you, sir."

As he said that, he quickly reached out and took the model from the opponent's hand...

……

It's just a small episode, almost no one pays attention to it.

Shang He had an inexplicably relaxed smile on his face, but after driving a certain distance, his expression changed——

On the operating table of the work boat, there is a space button quietly.Before this moment, he hadn't noticed the existence of this thing at all.

—if any other dangerous goods...

A layer of cold sweat oozed from Shang He's forehead, but relying on an inexplicable intuition, he picked up the space button instead of choosing to discard it.

The spiritual power penetrated in without being hindered in the slightest—is it an unowned space button?

After seeing the contents clearly, he was stunned...

Military first aid kit?

It's just... a configuration from decades ago.

On the other side, Joanlis complained in a low voice that this new model couldn't form a set with the other four.

Shi Jiujiu also discovered that this foreign generation "Broken Star" was bigger than the others, and couldn't fit in the model box at all, and it seemed to be some years old, and some corners on the model had been worn and rounded.

In short, the five mecha models put together, it seems that this big guy is out of place.

Shi Jiujiu glanced at the big guy who was clearly well-maintained, pursed his lips, and said in a low voice: "Its former owner must have liked it very much, we must treat it well, and we can't discriminate against it just because it grows up... ..."

Kid Shi Jiujiu, who issued a declaration of "non-discrimination", immediately happily agreed to his brother's exchange request after Shiyue bought another matching generation of "Broken Star" the next day.

——Brother is an adult, so he wants the big one, and Jiujiu wants the young one...it really couldn't be more reasonable.

Shi Jiujiu was holding the broken star model that had been reconstructed into a set, smiling while sleeping.

...It's a pity that Roger's family returned to Si Nilka the next day, and Shi Jiujiu couldn't share the re-collected models with friends.

Three days later, Marshal Shang, who had been missing for several days, returned to public view and announced that this time was not an ordinary space-time turbulence, but an attack... It is suspected that it may be a new kind of Zerg similar to "Void Worm".

For a time, people panic.

The Zerg has always been the enemy of human beings, and the "Void Bug" is even more terrifying. This kind of Zerg has the ability to jump through space, which means that it can appear in the rear of the non-battlefield at any time...

It was Marshal Griffin who led the Seventh Legion to go deep into the territory of the Zerg race and completely destroy the nest of the Void Worm. After that, he devoted all the power of the alliance to hunt it down for more than ten years before exterminating this kind of bug...

——Now... a new Zerg similar to "Void Worm"? !

Although the official discovery only slightly mentioned a possibility, everyone knows how many times the content of the marshal's speech has been checked and checked, and there is absolutely no possibility of casual mention.

The entire alliance, everyone is in danger.

And the residents of the five families in the Northern Territory tried their best to move south.

——After all, everyone knows that the marshal encountered this kind of bug on his way to the Ghana galaxy, which means that they may be the next one threatened by the Zerg. Under such circumstances, who would dare to live here? !

The Griffin family didn't expect Shang He to come up with such a trick, and secretly scolded the pariah for deceiving the masses, but they could only swallow their anger on the surface——

They couldn't make a statement saying that it wasn't the Zerg that attacked Marshal Shang, but the Griffin family? !

In that way, there is no need to wait for the population to decrease, and the Alliance Legion will directly block the entrance of the Northern Territory! !

The Griffin family intends to pinch their noses to admit this fall, but what Shang He wants is not just that simple...

Within a few days, a new statement was issued: [Xinxing Zerg is a kind of man-made Zerg, which was obtained by modifying and improving its genes on the basis of Void Worm.Due to its genetic instability, its survival time is extremely short, and it does not have the ability to reproduce. Please rest assured. 】

the general public...

——How can you rest assured? ! !

Now, not only the residents of the Northern Territory, but the entire alliance is boiling.

The disaster brought by the void worms is deeply imprinted in the hearts of this generation.

——Now, unexpectedly, someone is studying this bug? !Also "improved" its genes? ! !

Is this trying to make humans extinct? ! ! ! !

This anti-human practice aroused the anger of the whole people.

And after the location of that research institute was announced... the Griffin family became the target of public criticism in an instant! ! !

The soldiers who went to arrest the people involved in the case turned out to be their protectors.Had they not been arrested, these people would have been torn to pieces by the angry crowd.

The resolution of this matter was extraordinarily fast, and it only took a month to add up and down.

——For a case of this size, following the complicated and cumbersome steps of the league's official procedures... This is simply a record-breaking time.

The happy ending of the call story of "the bad guy gets punished" made Shi Jiujiu finally heave a sigh of relief, and happily ran out the door, vowing to bring back all the fun that was lost a few days ago!

On the other side, the planet F-286 in the Sinica galaxy.

In the early morning, a beautiful lady slowly entered the star port and went directly to the top floor.

Li Qing is already very familiar with this lady. Since half a month ago, every day the Star Port opens, this lady will come over and go straight to the artificial coffee shop on the highest floor of the Star Port, which is the shop she works in. .

This lady would sit in a fixed seat, order a cup of coffee, and quietly watch the people coming and going below... until the last spaceship of the day entered the port, and she left silently.

She only took a sip of that coffee on the first day, and then she never put it aside or moved it again...

Li Qing guessed that she didn't like the smell.

But that small cup of artificial coffee... is her monthly salary.

... Li Qing felt that her heart was bleeding every time she fell down.

After being envious and jealous at first, Li Qing found that it was really hard for this lady to make people feel bad.

Elegant and gentle...

Like the lady of the great nobleman in the popular virtual movie recently.

— This lady seems to be waiting for someone... or looking for someone...

Li Qing thought, if she could find someone, maybe she could help?

But there seemed to be an inexplicable aura around the lady, and she became nervous when she got close.

As for taking the initiative to start a conversation... After trying a few times, she finally gave up completely.
