"Captain… the base, something's happened!" The choking voice could barely get the words out in a continuous flow to Ling Xi's ears, and couldn't deliver a complete sentence, "The station commander... he's... gone..."
In that instant, her whole body's energy fell to freezing point, her pupils constricting involuntarily as she asked coldly, "Gone, what do you mean?" Even Ling Xi had moments when she was unwilling to accept reality.
"Gone... sob (sobbing)... gone... Captain, the commander won't ever be able to make us late-night snacks again... wuwuwu..." It was the first time, the very first time Ling Xi had ever heard Xu Mengying, that supremely arrogant yet immeasurably stubborn young lady, crying like a child.
The station commander who always liked to have late-night snacks ready for them after their evening training, the kind-hearted commander, the one who always proudly smiled at them, they would never see him again! Never again would they see that warm smile on his face.
