Chapter 82
After finally feeding these friends from the interstellar era, the chefs in the canteen all breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, although they ate a lot, they weren’t picky eaters. They ate whatever was made for them.
“Master, these interstellar people look a lot like us.”
The master chef, Jin’s, young apprentice would occasionally peek his head out curiously. He had thought they would look strange, like in the novels and movies. He hadn’t expected them to look so similar.
“Just focus on your cooking. Stop peeking,” Master Jin glared at him.
The young apprentice reluctantly withdrew his gaze and started kneading dough again.
“Master, when are we going to the interstellar era?” After a while, he couldn’t hold it in any longer and couldn’t help but ask.
Right now, people all over the world were busy migrating. As the cooks in the military region, they had stayed behind to receive the interstellar guests. But in return, their families had been given a green-light channel and had already gone ahead.
Master Jin brandished his spatula. “Stop asking. Just follow the arrangements. You think they’re going to leave you behind?”
The young apprentice giggled.
…
Qin Feng and Xuan Mo were full and satisfied. Both of them patted their stomachs and gave a thumbs-up.
“I had only ever smelled the flavor in Host Anran’s livestream. Actually tasting it is truly the greatest joy!”
“Sob, it’s so delicious. I love Earth.”
“What have I been eating for the past few decades!”
“After the war is over, can I stay on Earth forever? I don’t want to go back.”
Xuan Mo picked his teeth with a toothpick and tsked. “Although this place, Earth, is a bit small, it’s a really good place. No wonder that Yaxun star wants to seize it.”
“Now that we’re full, let’s get down to business,” Qin Feng said, glancing at him. They had to go see the leaders of the Hua nation to confirm the upcoming battle plans.
The top leader and the other leaders received them in the Great Hall. The various leaders of the military were also present, especially Ren Yi, who was seated with a portion of the soldiers who had already awakened their psychic power.
The moment Qin Feng, Xuan Mo, and Yun Qiao entered the hall, the top leader and the others felt the difference between them and the soldiers of Earth. Their military aura was not heavy; instead, they had a valiant and sharp spirit, and they were all very young.
After introducing each other and shaking hands, the top leader had them take their seats.
“What’s the battle situation now?” Xuan Mo asked impatiently.
The Beastman race was originally the most warlike race in the interstellar era. He was already rubbing his hands together in anticipation of this legendary plan to save the Earth across ten thousand years.
The top leader pulled up the image sent back by the detector. The advance troops of the Yaxun star were about to arrive at Earth. “According to their speed, they will arrive in about a day,” he said, then pulled up an image of the Yaxun home planet. “And this morning, we discovered that their main force has also begun to set off towards Earth.”
“It seems their situation is not very good either. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be preparing to send out their main force before the advance troops have even arrived,” Qin Feng said.
“Yes. Although we don’t know the specific situation of the Yaxun star, from the current situation, their planet must also be facing great difficulties, which is why they are so eager to come to Earth,” the top leader said, agreeing with him.
Marshal Yue snorted. “Let them come! You think we’re afraid of them?!” Now they had the weapons Little Xia had bought from the system and the help of the interstellar people. If the Yaxun people dared to come, they were just seeking their own death. They still wanted to invade their Earth? It was simply a fantasy.
After roughly finalizing the battle details, Xuan Mo couldn’t sit still and began to look around. Finally, he asked, a little awkwardly, “Why haven’t I seen Host Anran?”
The several leaders laughed. The top leader said, “Little Xia has a mission right now and is busy. She might not be back until tomorrow.”
Xia Anran’s mission of transporting ordinary citizens had already reached the other hemisphere. This feeling of flying all over the world was finally making her a little dizzy. Although there was no jet lag, the transition from day to night and then to dusk in a matter of seconds was quite draining.
“Phew—one last area. It looks like it should all be over before tonight,” she said, stretching her body.
The Qilin was accompanying her, flicking its tail. Ren Yi had gone back to participate in the combat meeting, so it was temporarily acting as her bodyguard.
In the intervals of traveling all over the Earth, she and the Qilin had also gone to several primitive forests. The animals from all over the world were gathering in these areas. While helping to transport these animals, she finally understood what the Qilin had meant when it said their beast race’s mobilization ability was much stronger than humans’. All the animals, big and small, passed through the portal in an orderly manner. On the interstellar side, other Spirit Beasts were there to receive them. And just like that, in the spare moments, the animals were all evacuated.
Humans, in comparison, were much more complicated. Many unexpected accidents had happened in the process, which had left her almost numb to it all.
By evening, the people who had gathered in the evacuation areas on Earth had finally all been transported.
“I wonder what the situation is like for everyone who has gone to the interstellar era,” she murmured, looking at the sky.
[Don’t worry. They’re eating well and drinking well. What’s the difference from a vacation?]
The system suddenly popped up.
“Hey? Why are you out?” she asked, a little surprised. The system had been gone for almost a day.
[Because I have to hurry up and call you back! It’s not safe here anymore! The Yaxun people are about to arrive!]
“!!!”
She quickly returned to the capital through the portal. Sure enough, everyone was bustling about. She went all the way up and knocked on the door of the top leader’s office.
“Enter.”
She pushed open the door and saw three men in uniforms that were different from Earth’s, but she somehow felt they were also military uniforms. And her intuition told her that these were the reinforcements from the interstellar era.
“Host Anran!”
Xuan Mo and the other two’s eyes lit up when they saw her. The moment she heard this address, she was sure they were indeed friends from the interstellar era.
Qin Feng and Yun Qiao were relatively reserved. Xuan Mo was like a big dog wagging its tail, not hiding his affection for her at all. Perhaps the emotions of the Beastman race are just that passionate…
Host Anran is even more beautiful in person than on the screen! I like her so much!
After a great deal of effort to calm Xuan Mo’s enthusiasm, she quickly said to the top leader, “Chief, the system says the Yaxun people are about to land. Do you know?”
The top leader nodded. “We already know. And we’ve already calculated their landing point.”
Only then did she notice that the projection was on. On it was a world map, with a conspicuous red dot marked on it. That was the location of Country A.
“We can’t let their advance troops send a message back,” he said. “The moment they land, they will find that the humans on Earth are all gone. If a message about such a big change is sent back, I’m afraid there will be other accidents.”
“Don’t worry. Leave it to me,” Qin Feng said, standing up. “The moment they land, I will absolutely not give them the chance to send a signal.”
“Then I’ll have to trouble you.”
The top leader thought for a moment and then said, “Later, we can have Little Xia send General Qin over through the portal. Besides that, is there any other help we need to provide?”
Qin Feng was thinking with a serious expression. She also couldn’t help but feel nervous. Could it be something very difficult to handle?
He considered for a long time before saying seriously, “Can we make a menu and bring some more food over?”
Xia Anran: “…”
The top leader also laughed. “Of course, you can. Feel free to ask for anything.”
Qin Feng was satisfied. After performing a United Star System salute, he strode out, preparing to set off for Country A. Xuan Mo and Yun Qiao also took their leave, preparing to assist him.
After seeing the three of them off, she looked at the high-ranking officials of the Hua nation, who had not left, and said with some worry, “Chief, now that the ordinary citizens have been mostly evacuated, and the Yaxun invasion is about to begin, why don’t you all go to the interstellar era first?” No matter how confident they were, this was a very dangerous matter. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have gone to such great lengths to evacuate the citizens.
“We’ve already decided not to leave Earth for the time being,” he said with a smile. The other leaders also nodded in agreement.
“But… the leaders of the other countries have all left,” she said, confused.
“That’s precisely why we can’t leave,” he said with a chuckle. “Little Xia, your mission is also over now. You can go to the interstellar era later.”
She sighed and made her decision. “If you’re not leaving, then I’m not leaving either. If I stay here, I can still help out with the system if there are any emergencies.”
Through their discussions, they had concluded that the system’s technological level was probably even higher than the interstellar era’s. The shop was full of good things. If there really was an accident, their last hope would be the system. So, she couldn’t leave either.
The top leader tried to persuade her for a while, but seeing that her attitude was very firm, he could only take a step back and say that she could stay on Earth, but she had to stay with them the whole time and could not act alone. She readily agreed.
As night fell, she looked out the window. The once brightly lit and bustling capital was now silent, a stretch of darkness everywhere. Only the streetlights on the road were still on. I hope everything will have a good ending, and everyone can come back to Earth again.
At three in the morning, she was suddenly woken up by the system.
[Quick, go to Leader Grandpa’s office! The operation has already begun! You’re the only one sleeping!]
She had been drowsy, but at its words, she was instantly wide awake. She got dressed and ran out. After a few steps, she suddenly realized that there was no point in her going over now; it would just be to watch the show. The only way she would be useful was if she brought the system with her. And the system was proactively urging her to go…
“So you want to help, huh, system? Didn’t you say before that you were too lazy to meddle in our affairs?”
The system, its thoughts exposed, was silent for a moment, and then chose to continue being stubborn.
[What are you talking about? I just want to go watch the show!]
Seeing it was about to bristle, she stopped teasing it. After quickly rushing to the office, she found that the leaders had indeed been up all night, waiting for news.
“Little Xia is here.”
The top leader took off his glasses and rubbed his sore eyes.
“Chief, how is it?” she asked nervously.
“Hehe, don’t worry. General Qin Feng has already taken control of the enemy’s advance troops. The operation was very successful!”
