A desolate star in the star realm.
Dozens of aircraft are conducting a grid search.
Until they had searched everywhere and confirmed that the target was not found, everyone withdrew and headed to the next destination.
At the same time, on another desolate planet, the same drama was unfolding.
The desolate stars of the Star Realm are as numerous as the hairs on an ox.
One by one, as they searched, they feared that before they could find Wen Meng, they would have already turned into old men.
"How annoying!" The third young master of the Wen family kicked the large stone by the tree fiercely
But the stone was too large; not only could he not move it, but his own toes also suffered.
The next second, he let out a scream of agony.
They had been wandering and drifting outside for almost a month, living a wild life of eating in the wind and sleeping under the stars
But the head of the Wen family didn't let them come back, so how could they dare to return?
The final deadline given by Huo Xiao had long passed
At that time, Huo Xiao was urgently transferred from Emperor Star, so he did not cause trouble for their family.
I heard that he just came back these days
I wonder if they will go to the Wen family to cause trouble.
Anyway, they weren't at the Wen family home, so no trouble could find them.
But if he had a choice, the third young master of the Wen family would rather go back and face death than suffer hardships outside.
Compared to his irritable attitude, the second young master of the Wen family appeared much more composed
Every time he arrived at a new place, he would lie on the back seat of the spaceship and play games
The work was left to the bodyguards until they had completed the entire search.
The two younger brothers specifically chose deserted planets to search, as such places were the easiest to explore.
They have specialized detection instruments; if there are humans on the planet, they will be discovered immediately.
The younger brothers all shirked their duties, so the most arduous tasks naturally fell to the eldest brother of the Wen family.
Some large stars with urban clusters can only be found by him
This not only requires pulling some strings but is also quite troublesome.
But he was the most diligent and responsible in his work. After greeting him, some of the lords of the major stars expressed their appreciation to him
If there were any news of his sister entering the country, he would be notified immediately.
The three sons of the Wen family were outside, searching frantically.
Wen Meng lay comfortably on the sofa in the living room of the forest treehouse, watching TV.
Her life is very routine now. Every day, she cooks for the little ones, tidies up the room a bit, and reads in the glass room on the third floor
Or go swimming in the spring outside, breathe in the fresh air in the forest.
She didn't have to worry about doing housework; the treehouse had a dedicated cleaning robot to take care of it.
Life is quite plain, but with the company of four little disaster beasts, it is far from dull and boring.
That day, after Xiao Bai turned into a human, his state of arousal almost scared Wen Meng to death.
However, fortunately, the time for Xiao Bai to remain in human form had just ended.
He hadn't yet kissed Wen Meng's lips when his body transformed back into a large, snow-white, furry wolf.
The method of consolation, like the thunderbird, finally restored peace.
Now, it is sitting at Wen Meng's feet.
The little ones have grown up again; when they jump onto the sofa, half of it sinks down.
For the sake of the sofa's spine, they are now all sitting on the floor.
Wen Meng changed the TV channel.
Suddenly, a piece of news caught her attention.
"Recently, the Star-Bombing Maniac has resurfaced? The public is in shock—natural disaster or man-made calamity..."
In the footage, a group of men, women, and children held up banners in protest, rejecting the Imperial Star military's plan to bomb the planet.
Blowing up stars, this kind of crazy behavior, most young people have only heard about from the older generation
It can be said that it has not appeared in the public eye for many years, and now the military of the Imperial Star actually wants to bring back the nightmare. Naturally, environmentalists will not compromise.
The debris and waste produced by the exploding star would float in the universe, drifting into their atmosphere and causing severe pollution.
Not only the residents who already lived in the Star Realm, but even Wen Meng was startled at first glance
Blow up the stars?
Are people in this world so crazy..
The book never mentioned this.
The protests initially started from the imperial star and gradually spread to several surrounding major stars
Gathered within the largest environmental organization in the Star Realm—the Green Treasure Nature Alliance—were over ten thousand environmentalists
A seven-day-long protest march was held to force the military to abandon this plan.
The reason for such a grand display is that the current ruler behind Star Realm is notoriously tough.
Relying solely on the power of grassroots organizations is like striking a stone with an egg
But putting up a stubborn resistance is still better than standing by idly
At least they fulfilled their duties as environmentalists.
Originally, the military's plan to bomb the planet was classified, but somehow it got leaked
After the media frenzy, it was impossible to undo.
The military's expression was extremely grim.
The news first introduced the entire event and then provided a deeper insight
After discussing at length the principles of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature, Wen Meng felt a surge of emotion and repeatedly expressed her agreement.
The person who came up with the idea of blowing up a star must have a hole in their head!
She was also very angry.
But as she kept watching, she sensed that something was wrong.
The scenery and landscapes shown on the television, why do they look so much like..
So familiar!!
This rock pillar?!
Wen Meng remembered.
Isn't this the place where a wolf and a snake fought against the thunderbird?
Further ahead, there was also the cave where she had previously taken refuge.
According to the news commentator, these are images of desolate planets recorded in the Imperial Star System, captured by satellite.
The host said emotionally, "This star also has a beautiful name, Green Lizard Star."
"Are we really going to let such a star disappear in the starry realm?"
Wen Meng's mind buzzed.
Are you kidding me?
So after all this commotion, the military was planning to blow up the very planet we were standing on.
The weather hadn't warmed up yet; it was early summer
But Wen Meng felt a chill down her spine, cold sweat trickling down
She immediately opened her laptop and searched for relevant information on the forum.
Finally, more clues were discovered.
Although many words were censored, relying on her years of internet surfing experience,
She learned the truth: the one who wanted to blow up the star was none other than the current highest commander of the Imperial Star military
That is, the original novel's male protagonist, Huo Xiao.
Huo Xiao's character was well-known to her; he was resolute and unwavering. Once he set his mind on something, no one could change it.
Wen Meng couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she tried. What was Huo Xiao thinking, wanting to blow up a star for no reason?
She racked her brains but couldn't figure it out.
Could it be that Wen Xin made him explode?
But according to the current timeline, the two of them shouldn't be together yet, right?
Headache.
If she couldn't figure it out, she decided not to think about it anymore. Wen Meng felt a sense of urgency
She couldn't just sit here and wait for death
Who knows when the missiles will come and turn the Green Lizard Star into dust.
She didn't know how serious the consequences would be if she hadn't seen the news today!
Wen Meng swiftly got up from the sofa and ran back to her room to pack her things.
The young disaster beasts were all puzzled and asked her what was wrong.
Wen Meng said just one word, "Move!"
We can no longer live on this planet.
The kids were all very excited, having long grown tired of staying here.
As she was tidying up, Wen Meng stopped
Confused, I looked up and gazed out the window,
Where should she go after leaving here?
- A luxurious villa in the Imperial Star Officials' District -
"Is everything taken care of?" the man stood in front of the nanmu bookcase.
His face was half in the sunlight, half in the shadow.
With a tall and upright posture, broad back, and long legs, even with clothes on, the outline of his strong muscles could be vaguely seen.
"Rest assured!" the adjutant pounded his chest in assurance, "This star absolutely won't explode!"
He skillfully conveyed the information to the general's environmentally conscious wife,
The wife did not disappoint and caused quite a commotion at the environmental organization.
The organization president, upon learning that the military demons were about to restart the star bombing,
Immediately expressed strong condemnation.
Because he was a victim of the previous generation's star-bombing plan, back when the planet-ending bomb technology was still not mature enough,
The launch distance was not precise, and unfortunately, it hit a small star next to the one they lived on.
If it had deviated a little more, his star might have been in trouble too.
Even if no real disaster had struck, the dust of Xiaoxing's death still shrouded his homeland.
Several months without seeing the light of day.
That kind of pain, I do not wish to experience again.
Having been drenched in the rain, one wishes to hold an umbrella for others.
At least, that's what the president of the Green Treasure Nature Alliance thought.
In the end, it seemed like someone had leaked the information, but in reality, it was a self-directed and self-acted play.
Huo Xiao, after all, was a public figure with a reputation to uphold; he couldn't very well go back on his word
He suggested blowing it up, but then turned around and didn't want to anymore.
Playing house like a child? Two-faced, it's hard not to be suspicious.
He couldn't go back on his word directly; he could only use someone else's voice to resolve the matter.
If Muli turned against him, he had ways to handle it.
The will of the people, no wonder he is blameless.
The most important thing right now is to find Wen Meng.
Huo Xiao put on an overcoat, gathered a dozen trusted subordinates, and set off immediately.
He didn't use a numbered aircraft but chose a private vehicle instead to avoid revealing his movements.
After all, this trip was for his own personal matters.
That day he went to the Wen family, and the head of the Wen family immediately fell to his knees in front of him
With tears streaming down and a runny nose, they finally admitted the fact that Wen Meng was missing.
He said he had already sent his four sons out to search day and night, and as soon as there was any news, he would inform him immediately.
Anger surged within Huo Xiao, making him feel as if he had been mocked, but he forcibly suppressed the turmoil in his heart.
Spared Wen Jiayi's life.
He didn't care whether Wen Meng was truly the biological child of this cowardly old man, but nominally, he was still Wen Meng's father.
Huo Xiao really regretted not bringing Wen Meng to his side earlier.
Originally, I wanted to wait until her eighteenth birthday.
But now..
Huo Xiao's brows were tightly furrowed, and his knuckles turned white from clenching his fists too hard.
When Li Yuan said this, his face was filled with the pleasure of choking himself.
If it weren't for Wen Meng, when would he ever gain the slightest advantage in his struggle with himself?!
Huo Xiao let go of Wen Meng's student ID.
"Why don't you take a guess, right now, she..."
"On which star?"
He then realized that he had almost crushed it.
Huo Xiao, somewhat schizophrenic, gently smoothed it out again.
Since this thing had fallen into his hands, it was simply a fantasy for Li Yuan to think of taking it back.
"It's a pity, I was hoping to keep it as a memento," Li Yuan said, looking dejected.
"Better hurry up," he said, "Green Lizard Star (2353, 3522, 1431)"
Huo Xiao wanted to laugh; it just so happened to be the one he was about to blow up.
If he dares to deceive me—!
"You will find her,"
In my mind, Liyuan's words were still replaying, "Or, an incomplete corpse."
In the sound of the aircraft starting,
Huo Xiao closed his eyes.
All the answers,
He will know soon enough.
