The Evil Dragon Only Wants to Survive (Lily ABO) - Chapter 9

How is this possible?

Mo Beiyi sat in her chair, stunned. Although she wasn’t affected by the darkness, panic still engulfed her.

How did it happen so quickly? They’ve only been here for a week! The attack in the novel was supposed to happen a month later!

“The purpose of this attack was to seize important data on Lone Star and, of course, to weaken the Empire’s future forces as much as possible. But when the red crosshair fell on Gu Xiyi, Jiang Yibai suddenly remembered all the little things they had shared over the past month. This beautiful Omega, despite growing up in the Empire, wasn’t as ideologically rigid as others. She saw a light called ‘hope’ in her. She felt that this light shouldn’t be extinguished in a place like this, so she grabbed Gu Xiyi, her light for the rest of her life.”

“Get out of here!” Jiang Yibai shouted at them and rushed toward the weakly lit door.

“Let’s go find Grandpa.” Gu Xiyi grabbed her hand and followed Jiang Yibai closely.

But the crowd was too large, and when they got outside, Jiang Yibai was gone.

That’s right. This was a Federation attack. As a Federation spy, Jiang Yibai probably went to rendezvous with the Federation army.

Gu Xiyi wasn’t that concerned about Jiang Yibai. After all, they had just met. What was more important now was to get Mo Beiyi to Gu Ning.

But then, the ground shook again. The planetary base, made of special metal, couldn’t withstand the missile bombardment. Several panels were shaken loose, shattering on the ground. A few unlucky people were hit, but no one cared about them now.

A large hole opened in the ceiling above them. Mo Beiyi could see the warships in deep space confronting each other, firing laser cannons back and forth. But there was no sound in space; it was like a silent fireworks show.

This attack was a long-planned one. Federation spies had obtained the anchor point of Lone Star and established a connection from within. As a result, a large number of Federation troops bypassed the front line and jumped to this area, which was supposed to be a safe rear base.

This was not a smart move, as it meant entering the enemy’s heartland, where they could easily be attacked from both sides. But Lone Star was different. It was called Lone Star because the planets near it were destroyed in a war long ago. This place was supposed to be a transit station between the rear and the front line, but a few years ago, the Empire lost several major battles. The star systems on the front line were either lost or destroyed, and this buffer zone was forced to become the front line.

“Boom!” Another loud noise. The missile landed very close by, and even the walls cracked. The restaurant, which was decorated with wood and brick for aesthetic reasons, was on the verge of collapsing.

“Oh my god!” Mo Beiyi screamed.

Why is Jiang Yibai still in the restaurant?

And she’s helping another girl.

Get out! Mo Beiyi didn’t even get to say the words when another explosion was heard, and the dark restaurant collapsed.

Alarms blared everywhere, and the white beacon lights flickered wildly. Many people hadn’t managed to escape the restaurant. The tons of ceiling fell, and countless people disappeared into the metal rubble before they could even scream.

Mo Beiyi, who had lived in a peaceful era, had never seen a scene like this. Her face was deathly pale from shock. She couldn’t believe that Jiang Yibai could be buried in there.

That was the future general of the Federation, the strongest human Alpha in history, the female lead’s most beloved person, and her favorite character. How could she die so quietly in a place like this?

“Jiang Yibai…” Mo Beiyi’s feet were nailed to the ground.

“Beiyi?” Gu Xiyi didn’t know why Mo Beiyi’s face had suddenly turned so pale. She thought she was just scared. In truth, she was pretty scared herself.

Gu Xiyi noticed Mo Beiyi’s hands were trembling, so she turned and hugged her tightly.

“Don’t be afraid. I’ll protect you.”

“Jiang Yibai, Jiang Yibai is still inside…”

“What…” Gu Xiyi looked at her in disbelief.

But… she looked at the rubble, “…Let’s go find Grandpa first. We’ll have him send people to rescue them.” They couldn’t move these metal plates, and who knows if another missile would land here? It was better to leave first.

The inside of the base was in chaos. Many Federation soldiers had broken in. At first, they caught the Empire off guard, but the Empire had elite troops and quickly organized a counter-attack. However, there were also many “interns” like Mo Beiyi and Gu Xiyi in the base, and they were all scared and running around helplessly.

Mo Beiyi watched, wide-eyed, as a Federation soldier in a red and black uniform stabbed a lightsaber into an Imperial soldier’s stomach. Her hearing was excellent. She clearly heard the “squish” of the blade entering flesh and the gushing of bl00d, as well as the Imperial soldier’s desperate scream. Before he died, he also managed to stab his own lightsaber into the Federation soldier’s heart.

She had never even killed a chicken in her life and was scared of killing a cockroach. This brutally graphic scene made her legs feel weak.

“Watch out!” Gu Xiyi’s voice rang out in her ears.

A strong sense of danger shot through her. A bl00d-soaked Federation soldier suddenly rushed around the corner and stabbed at her with a lightsaber.

I can’t dodge it! Mo Beiyi’s feet felt incredibly heavy, and she couldn’t move a single step. Her golden eyes watched the shimmering blade get closer and closer.

In an instant, Gu Xiyi pulled Mo Beiyi hard, just barely avoiding the blade. She then kicked away the soldier who was trying to lunge at them again, stomped on his wrist, and kicked his lightsaber away.

Her movements were clean and precise. Her black hair fluttered with her actions, and her slender body made it all look graceful.

Didn’t the novel say the female lead was delicate, soft-bodied, and easy to push down?

“Xiyi, can you hear me?” Gu Xiyi’s walkie-talkie suddenly buzzed. It was Gu Ning.

“Grandpa, where are you?”

“Don’t worry about me. Are you with Beiyi?”

“Yes, but…” Gu Xiyi wanted to mention Jiang Yibai’s situation, but Gu Ning immediately interrupted her.

“Both of you go to the training room now. Someone will meet you there.” Gu Ning said this very quickly. The sounds of explosions and shouts could be heard faintly over the walkie-talkie. He told them to be careful, and then the walkie-talkie went silent.

The training room was quite close. They were lucky and didn’t run into any Federation soldiers on their way to the entrance.

The training room had an open-air field with many small manned machines parked on it. Many of the flying machines disappeared a few seconds after taking off. These special small machines had no combat capabilities, but they could perform short-distance space jumps and were often used as escape pods.

The person who was meeting them led them to the machine Gu Ning had prepared. Just as the cabin door opened and Gu Xiyi was about to get in, Mo Beiyi suddenly saw a prominent red dot on her back.

Mo Beiyi’s eyes widened, and she opened her mouth to warn Gu Xiyi.

A gunshot rang out.
