Setting Sail

The Wandering City, inexplicably, accelerated and drifted over the Black Gold Fortress, visible to the naked eye. Originally, it was thought that even if the Wandering City arrived over the Black Gold Fortress, it would be outside the atmosphere. Unexpectedly, in an instant, it actually broke through the atmosphere of the Black Gold Fortress.

It was as if a ship folded space for a jump, but according to the results of the previous investigation, the civilization of the Wandering City did not possess such advanced technology.

“The results are out!” Cui Ningfang held a stack of reports, panting as he pushed open the meeting room door. “Your Majesty, there was a spatial fluctuation just now. The Wandering City appeared over the Black Gold Fortress because of a spatial fluctuation.”

“Previously, it was also a spatial fluctuation in space miracle that the Wandering City appeared.” Zhu Di’s hands were neatly placed on the table, and his right index finger slightly lifted, tapping the table. “Your Majesty, it might be prudent to dispatch a small team to check if there is anything else in space.”

Xi Yuan nodded. “Who should we send?”

Originally, this question didn’t require much thought because the most suitable candidate was always Hanchester. He was experienced, commanded well, and almost never failed in any task. However, at the moment, he was lying in the research institute, making the decision of whom to send a difficult one.

“Otherwise, consider the people in the prison?” Dong Du, who had been bowing his head in thought, suddenly suggested, “Interstellar pirates are most familiar with space, and even if they die, it won’t be a significant loss.”

“What if they escape?” The Prime Minister disagreed. “In times like these, how can we trust pirates?”

“So, we need a little control in this situation.” Dong Du blinked his watery eyes, “We can learn from Xia En, install a bomb on each of them. This way, we only need to send one person to control the activation device.”

“Little Highness makes sense.” Novisane, with a lollipop in his mouth, spoke somewhat unclearly, “But, who will control the activation device?”

“Me.” Dong Du smiled at Novisane. “Everyone in the Black Gold Fortress has been here for a long time. You should have heard about my combat skills, right?”

“Nonsense!” Xi Yuan slammed his palm on the table, frowning. “You are the little prince of Clos; how can you go to space with interstellar pirates?”

“But I’ve already been in space with interstellar pirates.” Dong Du frowned lightly, looking puzzled at Xi Yuan. “Don’t you know the lifeboat I took back then…”

He stopped at this point, and Xi Yuan frowned. “Whatever it is, we can discuss it later. The important thing now is how to deal with the Wandering City.”

“Your Majesty, I think what Little Highness said is feasible.” Zhu Di clasped his hands together on the table. “In the current situation, we cannot afford to spare anyone. It’s unclear how many mature insects the Wandering City has bred. We need to factor in every fighting force.”

“General Zhu Di’s suggestion is right.” Brovill also timely spoke up. “Right now, everyone should make efforts for the survival of humanity.”

Xi Yuan was momentarily speechless. However, his younger brother, whom he had grown up with since childhood, whose abilities he knew well, regardless of the rumors, was, in fact, powerless!

“Send someone to accompany Dong Du.” Xi Yuan had to compromise. “While the Black Gold Fortress defends, we must also launch an attack on the Wandering City. Lord Novisane, please trouble yourself to mobilize reinforcements.”

“Rest assured.” Novisane flicked the lollipop between his fingers. “The Imperial forces will depart from the capital star of Yars immediately and directly land on the Wandering City from space.”

After the meeting dispersed, everyone became busy. Dong Du wanted to say goodbye to Hanchester first, but after a few steps, he was stopped by Xi Yuan.

“What’s wrong with you? Do you want to die faster? When did you become skilled in combat? This kind of thing is not for you to fool around with!” Xi Yuan took a deep breath. “Originally, it was because Father and Mother spoiled you too much, making you fearless.”

Dong Du looked earnestly at Xi Yuan. “Although I was weak before, I am really good at fighting now.”

“How can…” Xi Yuan hadn’t finished speaking when Dong Du threw him over his shoulder, and he was already lying on the ground.

“Where did you get such strength?” Xi Yuan asked in amazement. This younger brother of his couldn’t even defeat Xia En initially.

“I’ve been working hard on my training.” Dong Du shrugged. “Anyway, remember, I’m really good at fighting now.”

“By the way.” Xi Yuan, sitting on the ground, asked, “What happened to your lifeboat?”

“Don’t you really know?” Dong Du stared at Xi Yuan with big puzzled eyes. So, was Xia En plotting to kill him behind Xi Yuan’s back?

“I really don’t know.” Xi Yuan frowned. “You never spoke properly before, always cursing without reason. Have you not changed this habit yet?”

“I did change.” Dong Du squatted down, sitting side by side with Xi Yuan. “Look, I haven’t cursed at you, have I?”

Xi Yuan: “…”

He had nothing to say.

Dong Du tapped his smart ring and, seeing that the time was almost up, waved to Xi Yuan, “I’ll go to the prison to check; they’re probably installing that thing on Chu Xuhuan and the others.”

Xi Yuan waved his tired hand, not wanting to talk anymore. He felt that sending Dong Du to the Black Gold Fortress was the right decision. Dong Du had indeed changed many of his bad habits and had become stronger. However, for some reason, Xi Yuan felt that his younger brother had become even more annoying than before.

Dong Du’s estimation was correct. When he arrived at the prison, Chu Xuhuan, Ash Wolf, and Lion were undergoing surgery.

Currently, the people at the research institute were busy monitoring the Wandering City, and there were no extra hands to perform the surgeries. The one doing the operations was an intern without a graduation certificate—a girl with round glasses, a Beta. Every time the girl made a move, Lion would scream in pain, and since Lion was the first to undergo surgery, the procedure couldn’t proceed smoothly.

“Does it hurt so much? Stop yelling!” The girl stomped her foot.

“I’m telling you, little sister, can’t you administer anesthesia?” Lion grimaced, “Without anesthesia, can I not scream?”

“After the surgery, you guys are leaving immediately. How can we administer anesthesia? Besides, it’s just a one-centimeter cut; is it necessary to use anesthesia?” The girl gestured with the surgical knife, “Stop making noise.”

Dong Du couldn’t bear to watch and pulled the iron bolt tightly, shutting the lion’s mouth. Then he looked at the girl. “Go ahead.”

The girl sighed in relief and quickly made a makeshift pocket on the lion’s chest, stuffing the mini-bomb inside.

When Dong Du let go, the lion was drenched in cold sweat. As soon as his mouth was free, he gasped for air.

Next was Chu Xuhuan. Dong Du swung the door bolt, looking at him. “You want to try too?”

Chu Xuhuan glanced at him indifferently and remained silent throughout the entire installation process.

The girl wiped the sweat from her forehead, shifted to install the bomb for Ash wolf. Dong Du approached Chu Xuhuan and whispered, “Xia En is locked in room 303.”

Chu Xuhuan showed no reaction, but Dong Du knew there would be a surprise when they left.

However, this surprise seemed somewhat unexpected.

Leaning against the iron railing with a long package on his back, he expressed genuine anger, “Why did you also capture him?”

He had asked Chu Xuhuan to capture Xia En to prevent Xia En from influencing Xi Yuan when he was not around. After all, Xia En was the protagonist; it wouldn’t be surprising if he turned the situation around. However, bringing Meng Ruan along was just a burden!

Qi Lin, who was assigned to follow Dong Du, dared not say a word, but alarm bells were ringing in his mind.

The little prince and the pirate were too familiar! Why did it seem like the little prince was an accomplice to the pirate’s crimes? The little prince… anyway, the little prince didn’t seem like a good person now.

Chu Xuhuan casually glanced at the tightly bound and gagged Meng Ruan. “He happened to be there when I went to take people, so I brought him along.”

Dong Du was speechless. He went in and dragged Meng Ruan out. Meanwhile, Xia En’s face was dark, but his eyes were shining. He glared at Dong Du with resentment, curling up like a coiled poisonous snake.

The spaceship smoothly entered space, but inside, it was not so calm. Xia En seemed to have gone mad, slamming the iron bars of the temporary prison. “Dong Du, what have you done? Why did Chu Xuhuan betray me too? You, you traitor! You’ve always been against me, why are you obstructing me!”

Dong Du ignored it. He pulled Meng Ruan out and took out two black cards from his pocket, handing them to him. “These are the things you left at my door that day.”

Meng Ruan took them dumbfoundedly, and as he looked, he suddenly burst into tears.

He knew about his relationship with himself, so he bought tickets for two different movies, letting Xia En go alone. He had two more tickets on him, bought for himself.

“Why cry? You’re young, who hasn’t loved a few scumbags!” Dong Du patted Meng Ruan on the shoulder, consoling him with the words a girl from the Survivor Base had told him, “As long as you correct yourself, this won’t be considered suffering.”

Meng Ruan wiped his eyes twice and looked up at Dong Du. “You seem, not as bad as rumored.”

“Me?” Dong Du paused before realizing this guy must have received brainwashing from Xia En. They were both victims, and Dong Du didn’t want to argue. He continued to pat his shoulder. “If you’ve noticed, that’s good.”

“Yeah.” Meng Ruan rubbed his eyes. “Thank you.”

Chu Xuhuan observed the whole process with a mysterious expression. He forgot about retaliating against Xia En for using him, thinking about doing it next time. He then saw Dong Du helping up the exhausted Meng Ruan. “Alright, alright, an alpha crying like a useless person. Let’s go, leave this place to those who can handle it. Qi Lin, come help me support him!”

Qi Lin came over, looking dazed. “Oh.”

Chu Xuhuan, finding this place useful, took a deep breath, then shifted his gaze to Xia En. “You’ve been silent for a while. It’s been a long time. You seem different from before.”
