Interstellar Beast World: The Ferocious Beast Husband Has a Wild Mind

Chapter 274 The Last Hope
That morning, the leaden-gray clouds hung heavily, like a giant cloth soaked with night dew.

The elite team directly under the Third District in the north, the special operations team of the internment camp, the guards of the Duke of Milan's mansion, and the royal guards all mobilized in a massive force, and flattened a remote harbor unknown to anyone in the Second District.

Hundreds of criminals were apprehended and more than 300 male and female animals that had not been able to be transferred were rescued, but Sang Qing was nowhere to be found.

When they arrived, the place was littered with wreckage, broken walls, and scorched earth mixed with the stench of blood.

The damp, salty wind sweeping in from the sea felt like it was blowing from an iceberg, brushing against everyone's heart.

It was too late.

……

In the hospital, the instruments beeped red, but the person on the bed showed no sign of waking up.

The doctor, who was over fifty years old, was adjusting the equipment. To his left stood Curry, Jun Chenli, and Jun Xinyue; to his right stood Duke Carly's husband, Bill, and Youfei; and behind them were Xiong Da, Bai Xiao, and Yu Jin...

The small ward felt somewhat crowded.

A black figure stood quietly at the back of the crowd.

The expressions on everyone's faces varied, but none of them seemed relaxed.

"His riot value has clearly dropped to zero, so why is his mental state still so unstable?" Jun Xinyue asked, puzzled.

Of all the orcs she had ever seen, only those with high riot values ​​were prone to this state of impending mental riot.

“Excessive use of mental energy…” The doctor looked at the test data, which seemed normal yet somewhat abnormal, and hesitated. “Perhaps there are other factors as well.”

There are many reasons that can trigger mental instability, so the doctor didn't take it to heart. He sighed and said, "Sedatives are not working for him. Whether he can wake up or not depends on himself."

The doctor's words were not difficult to understand; treatments for mental health issues have always been like this.

Curry sighed deeply, walked to the bedside, and said in a calm yet weathered tone, "Wake up. The pirate leader who killed Sang Qing has escaped. Don't you want to avenge her?"

And those people behind it.

Curry didn't know if Shi Ying could hear him, and nobody else did either.

……

In her dream, Shi Ying relives that painful torment again and again.

He hated himself for leaving alone instead of being by her side, hated himself for not finding her sooner, hated himself for being so weak that he couldn't even hold onto Awan.

He refused to believe, refused to accept, that Ah Wan would leave him.

No, his Ah Wan is not dead yet.

She must still be alive and well; he must go find her.

Finally, on the third day, Shi Ying woke up.

The dream was over, and the roaring winds and waves had disappeared. His body seemed to have warmed up a lot, but his heart was terribly cold.

A clear mind tugged at his heart, shattering his self-deception, leaving him speechless with pain.

Only Curry, Cangyun, and Xiongda remained by the bedside.

"Shiying, Sang Qing, she really..." Curry said with some difficulty, clinging to the last glimmer of hope.

In fact, they had already learned the whole story from the captured space pirates, but they still clung to a sliver of unrealistic hope: what if what they said was false, what if Sang Qing had been taken away by the space pirate leader?

What if?
Shi Ying looked at him, her eyes lifeless. "Awan fell into the sea, and I... couldn't catch her." Heaven knows how much strength he used to say this in such a calm tone; every word felt like a knife being stabbed into his heart.

"It's my fault... for not protecting her."

Last hope was shattered, and the ward fell into a deathly silence.

Xiong Da looked grief-stricken, and Curry was in no better shape. His face looked haggard, as if he had aged ten years in an instant. Even Cang Yun, who was standing in the backlight, couldn't help but stiffen, and his knuckles curled slightly.

"Click—" A faint sound rang out, but no one paid any attention to it.

Curry let out a long sigh; he had lost count of how many times he had sighed during this period.

He reached out and patted Shi Ying on the shoulder. "It's not your fault. What's done is done. Get well soon and think about what you need to do next."

No one can blame Shi Ying. This matter is not so simple. There are undercurrents in the upper echelons, which are hard to guard against.

When Shi Ying was brought back, she was already on the verge of death.

His scapula was broken, and he suffered multiple severe injuries all over his body, some so deep that the bone was visible. His back was completely devoid of healthy flesh. If Cang Yun hadn't found him in advance, and if Jun Xinyue hadn't contributed a spot in the treatment ward, he would have had a hard time surviving until now due to excessive blood loss alone.

As Shi Ying pondered the elaborate scheme behind this accident, a chilling aura emanated from her dark golden pupils.

Her gaze fell upon Cang Yun beside her. Suppressing her emotions, she took out the ruby ​​bracelet, removed the small conch shell next to the maple leaf, and handed it to him, giving a wry smile, "Thank you."

The life-saving item that Cangyun left for Awan ultimately saved him.

Cangyun was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at the token for a long time, and finally accepted it silently without saying anything.

……

Outside the door, an exquisitely carved, intricately detailed, openwork spherical jade sculpture fell, making a crisp sound.

The butler who accompanied them gasped as he watched helplessly as the natural warm jade, which had cost eight figures to buy at the auction and could emit lasting heat simply by inserting an artificial flint, shattered into pieces on the ground.

Heart is bleeding.

Mo An had arrived at the ward door with a gift, full of joy, when she heard the devastating news, and her eyes immediately welled up with tears.

Although his mother agreed to send someone to help him, she put him in solitary confinement. Hearing that the people who had been rescued were all in this hospital, he rushed over as soon as he was released from confinement.

It shouldn't be like this...

Without even knocking, he hastily gathered up the large chunk of the body from the ground and rushed out of the hospital.

She found a quiet park and started smashing pieces of jade into the lake, one by one, with a "plop, plop" sound, while crying and cursing.

"Sister, you bastard! How could you die!"

"I hate you! You're irresponsible! You touched my tail and you're not taking responsibility!"

"You're a bad person. You don't like me. You're a bad person. This is the first time in my life I've ever liked someone!"

"You're the worst! You stole my heart and just left like that!"

"What right do you have, waah~"

The butler chased after him, but seeing his spoiled and arrogant young master crying like a fool from afar, he wisely refrained from approaching. He could only sigh regretfully and take out his personal terminal to send a message to the Duke.
