CH 7

In the huge and silent meteoroid belt, metal wreckage from the starship drifted slowly and numerous broken shrapnel quietly crashed into a meteoroid only to float silently in the other direction.

The entire star field was full of devastation and debris after the battle.

Front end of the Leviathan plunged deeply into the middle of Alliance’s main ship, almost cutting it in half. Two metal parts of Alliance’s main ship were barely connected by a weak metal structure, like a broken body connected by a thread of skin, lifelessly drifting outside the meteoroid zone. Leviathan, which got stuck in it, was not much better. Exterior shell from the front end to the middle section turned black and deformed due to high-intensity friction, exposing metal keel underneath. Those two warships were like two deadlocked giant steel beasts that clung to the other, quietly stagnated in the dark starry universe.

Ge Xiu stood behind the huge porthole and stared intently at the pitch-black warship that was still staying in the distance, dark ink reflected in his pitch-black eyes.

It didn’t seem to have any intention of approaching and simply has stopped silently in the distance. The heavy artillery shells that hit the Alliance warships accurately and brutally before have been retracted into the warship, but the deep and terrifying pressure has not disappeared. Just looking at this monster from a distance could scare people. 

At this time, deck below the ship opened and a light ship passed through the debris floating in the space to swiftly approach them.

The scattered crew members who had been forcibly brought out stopped their busy work and at the same time subconsciously looked at Ge Xiu who was standing by the window.

Unknowingly, his thin and slender figure seemed to have become their backbone, as if as long as he was there, no matter how dangerous it was, there would be no need to worry.

Ge Xiu nodded and said unhurriedly:

”Let them in.”

Although the outer layer of the warship has been damaged, the deck that stayed inside the ship has not suffered much damage. As Ge Xiu ordered, door of the cabin has opened slowly.

The streamlined lightship, which was as dark as its main ship, landed slowly and as the hatch opened a tall young man stepped down the landing ladder.

He wore a concise and simple black uniform with a powerful impulse weapon pinned to his waist, well-equipped with weapons and a straight back. He gave off a strong sense of righteousness.

He found Ge Xiu’s position in the crowd with extreme precision and he scrutinized him, his expression still indifferent:

”Captain of this ship, please come with me.”

Even when he heard the other party’s request, Ge Xiu remained unmoved, he shrugged and smiled carelessly: “Oh, okay.”

Ge Xiu walked obediently in the direction of the ship.

Xiao Yi’s heart raised to his throat instantly and he subconsciously reached out and grabbed corner of his clothes, his expression was obviously panicked and nervous, there was even an imperceptible plea in his eyes.

Ge Xiu turned his face to the side, still with laziness as if nothing mattered to him, he suddenly spoke, and asked an obvious question:

”Do you think our starship can still be driven now?”

Xiao Yi was taken aback. Turning to look at the destroyed and devastated hull of the Leviathan he shook his head hesitantly.
