Chapter 25
The Star Core's Great Explosion

“Food, medicine, medical pods—"

Xia Ye waved away the teleporting voids, smiling as she said,

“The supplies here are enough for 10,000 people to fight a relatively low-intensity battle. If it's not enough, I have a little bit more here, feel free to ask for more anytime!”

“10,000 people…”

Natasha felt as if she were in a dream:

“If you add everyone here, and then count the people who were in the mine disaster, there aren't even 10,000!”

Not to mention, even Bronya, who was in the upper zone with more resources, had never fought such a wealthy battle!

“Wait!”

March 7th circled around the supplies, her beautiful eyes pointing at the nameplate on a medical pod in surprise:

“Isn't this the emblem of Black Tower Space Station?”

“When did you get these?”

“When Aisthe and I were discussing what gift to send you guys—”, Xia Ye smiled, “I didn't want anything, so I asked for these!”

“Did you already know this situation would happen?”

“Who knows, better safe than sorry~”

“So mysterious!”

March 7th wrinkled her nose, “I even asked Aisthe in the group chat, she didn’t tell me!”

“Alright, March, you and A-Xing go and help out!”

“We do need help—”

Natasha, who was inspecting the supplies, walked over and said wryly:

“We don’t know how to use any of this.”

“It's simple, I'll teach you!”

March 7th pulled A-Xing and Natasha along to sort through the supplies:

“Natasha, look at this nutrient solution, just twist the cap and drink it, it can provide enough energy and nutrition for the human body to function for a day!”

“And this healing gel, just spray it on the wound and it can automatically clean and accelerate the healing process.”

“And these medical pods, they are even easier to operate, just put people in and press this button!”

“And this—"

“This is—"

“…”

With the help of March 7th and A-Xing, mainly March 7th.

Natasha quickly became familiar with the use of those supplies, and the work of treating the injured and arranging non-injured people was also proceeding steadily!

“Xia Ye, thank you so much!”

Bronya stood next to Xia Ye, looking at the bustling yet orderly rescue scene in the distance, she was somewhat moved,

“If it weren’t for you, I really don’t know what I would have done!”

“That’s because of your performance—”

Xia Ye smiled and said,

“I told you, if you want to be saved, you have to learn to save yourself first. You gave me the answer I wanted, and of course I wouldn't be stingy with my help!”

“Huh?”

“What’s wrong, Xia Ye?”

“There’s a communication request—”

Xia Ye pulled out a virtual screen with her hand, and both Kiana and Welt appeared on the screen:

“Kiana-jie, Uncle Yang, what’s the matter?”

“Xia Ye, who is this?”

Kiana curiously looked at Bronya standing next to Xia Ye, while Welt had already taken on a strange expression – she shouldn't be called Bronya… right?

“This is Bronya Rand, the new Grand Protector of Belobog, the ‘Everlasting City’~"

“Bronya, this is Kiana and Welt, they are the most reliable seniors of our train crew~"

“Little Xia Ye, you have such a sweet mouth!”

Kiana smiled radiantly, looking at Bronya and said,

“Just call me Kiana!”

“Miss Kiana, Mr. Welt, thank you for your help to Belobog, I will always remember this kindness!”

Bronya's eyes were serious!

“No need to be so formal—” Kiana chuckled, “Thousands of years ago, our Stargazer Train had once stopped here, back then it was still a lush and vibrant planet. I never expected to come back and see this happen, so we have to help out in every way possible!”

“Lush…”

Bronya had learned this word from books, however—

She had only seen what could be called lush vegetation in paintings and images from thousands of years ago.

In reality, green could only be found in vegetable greenhouses, and everything else related to trees were the withered and destroyed trees outside the city, frozen by snow!

“I wish I could see what it looked like back then!”

“As long as we work hard, one day this planet will return to its original state, and then you will be able to see it!”

Kiana comforted her slightly, then said,

“But there is also some bad news, Xia Ye, have you noticed? The Star Core has already erupted!”

“I’ve already locked onto the Star Core’s position, far outside Belobog City, so this eruption will have little impact on Belobog, but—”

Xia Ye glanced at Bronya:

“This Star Core eruption was artificially manipulated, or you could say that the Star Core is controlling someone to do it!”

“Artificial!”

Bronya bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and her beautiful eyes looked at Xia Ye:

“Xia Ye, Mother…”

“Is there no way to save Cocolia-sama?”

“Who told you that?”

“Ah?!”

Bronya was dumbfounded!

Didn’t you say how terrifying the Star Core was, and that there’s no way to recover after being controlled by it?

I was already prepared to sacrifice myself for the greater good, but now you tell me that Mother-sama can still be saved?

Although this is good news, it’s very unsettling!

“Can she really be saved?”

“Of course she can!”

Xia Ye possesses the BUG-level Imaginary Number Roots, separating the Star Core from Cocolia is a piece of cake, but—

“Of course, it depends on whether Cocolia herself wants to be saved, and it needs to be done as soon as possible. If she is completely influenced by the Star Core and steps onto the path of destruction, blowing herself up, then there's really no saving her!”

“Then let’s go back to the surface!”

Bronya was eager to return home, she had already made up her mind to sacrifice herself to save Belobog, but now Xia Ye said that Mother-sama can still be saved, so what are we waiting for— let’s go bring Mother-sama back from the wrong path!

“Uncle Yang—”

Bronya went to find Natasha, Xia Ye looked at Welt with a smile in her eyes:

“How is it, do you think she resembles Bronya?”

“Heh!”

Welt didn’t bother with her!

Kiana covered her mouth and laughed, thinking about the expressions that Welt and Xia Ye had when they first met her, it seems like she looks very much like someone from another world?

“Ahem!”

“Xia Ye, stop playing around, go seal the Star Core quickly, the Star Core eruption isn’t as gentle as the one in A-Xing’s body last time, don’t take it lightly!”

“Understood, Kiana-jie, after I deal with the Star Core, you and Uncle Yang come down and play, this Winter City has a unique charm!”

“Okay, after you guys are done, Welt and I will go down!”

...

The underground cable station.

Xia Ye and her group headed towards the lower zone.

The number of people coming back matched the number of people going down, but—

“Where’s the blue-haired guy who followed us?”

March 7th looked around, that guy named Sambo thought he was hiding well, but Xia Ye had already noticed him.

Except, after he arrived in the lower zone, he disappeared, and he wasn’t seen on the return trip.

“Who cares about him!”

He was just a masked fool who liked to watch the show and had some bottom line, Xia Ye couldn’t be bothered with him~

“Don’t we still have a blue-haired guy here?”

“Do you want to get hit by my sickle?”

Himeko, who had come to the upper zone with Bronya because she was worried, gave Xia Ye a disdainful look.

This guy, although a savior, had a terrible personality, and he always teased her and Bronya, which was very annoying!

“Alright!”

Bronya observed her surroundings, her eyebrows furrowed slightly:

“Why are there no Silvermane Iron Guards guarding this place?”

Whether it was to find her whereabouts or prevent invaders, this place should normally be guarded by Silvermane Iron Guards!

But now there’s no one, what happened?
