The only SSSS-level fertility constitution in the entire interstellar space

On the edge of the Nolan Starfield, in the command room of the Federation's First Army flagship, the atmosphere was extremely tense.

On the holographic star map, purple dots representing the Zerg are slowly advancing towards the Federation defense line, while red warning signs flash throughout the star field.

Fu Ciyan stood before the star map, dressed in a crisp military uniform, the general's star on his shoulder reflecting a cold glint under the cold lights.

His face was cold and stern, his dark eyes fixed on the moving purple dots, his fingers moving rapidly across the control panel, sending commands through encrypted channels to each warship.

"The Third Fleet will flank the Zerg and cut off their retreat."

"The Seventh Fleet launched a feint attack from the front to draw enemy fire."

"First and Second Fleets, follow me through the center and strike directly at the Queen!"

The communications channel crackled with the unified responses of the fleet commanders: "Yes, sir!"

Just then, his private communicator vibrated.

Fu Ciyan looked down and saw an encrypted message pop up on the screen. The sender's ID made his pupils contract slightly: Lin Xi.

He clicked on the message almost instinctively.

[General Fu, Miss Lu Yao has been found. She was rescued by our people in the Seventh District of the Nolan Starfield and is currently safe. Mr. Zhou Jinlu is also there; he suffered a broken leg and is recovering. Miss Lu Yao and the babies are all safe. Coordinates are as follows… This message has also been sent to Xie Linyu.]

Looking at a string of detailed coordinate data,

Fu Ciyan's fingers trembled slightly as he held the communicator.

He stood before the star map, surrounded by the incessant reports from commanders, the roar of warship engines, and the alarms signaling an urgent battle situation.

But at this moment, all the sounds faded away.

He only saw the following line: 【Miss Lu Yao and her babies are safe and sound.】

In the command room, the adjutant noticed his unusual behavior and quickly walked over: "General?"

Fu Ciyan took a deep breath and put the communicator away.

"How is the battle going?" His voice had regained its composure.

The adjutant reported: "The coordinates of the queen have been locked, but the number of her escort fleet is greater than expected. Forcing a breakthrough may result in losses."

Fu Ciyan's gaze returned to the star map, and he remained silent for three seconds.

"Change tactics. First fleet, break through from the front with me. Second fleet, flank the Zerg swarm from the rear and cut off the Zerg queen's retreat."

The adjutant hesitated for a moment: "General, in that case, your flagship will be exposed to the area of ​​most concentrated firepower..."

"I know." Fu Ciyan interrupted him, his dark eyes showing no hesitation. "How quickly will it take to end this battle?"

The adjutant quickly calculated: "If everything goes smoothly, four hours."

"That's too long." Fu Ciyan shook his head, tracing an arc on the star map with his finger. "By starting from here and utilizing the gaps in the swarm formation, we can shorten it to two and a half hours."

The adjutant gasped, "That shipping route is far too risky. A single misstep could..."

"There will be no mishaps." Fu Ciyan's tone left no room for doubt. "Pass down the order: depart in five minutes."

The adjutant looked at him, opened his mouth, and finally stood at attention and saluted: "Yes, sir!"

After the adjutant left, Fu Ciyan sent Xie Linyu a message: 【Please bring Yaoyao back.】

Xie Linyu replied quickly: 【I will.】

After having dinner, Lu Yao went to see Zhou Jinlu.

After treatment and plenty of rest, Zhou Jinlu's complexion finally improved significantly.

He leaned against the headboard, his leg in a cast lying flat on the blanket, holding an old book that Zhao Qu had somehow found, and was looking down at it.

Hearing the knock on the door, he looked up, and Lu Yao's figure was reflected in his light brown eyes. The corners of his lips naturally curved up.

"Why don't you go and rest?" He put down his book, his voice gentle.

Lu Yao sat down on the chair beside his bed: "Come see you, does your leg still hurt?"

"Much better, don't worry."

Lu Yao's gaze fell on his leg, which was immobilized by a cast. Recalling how he hadn't uttered a sound during the bone setting, her heart couldn't help but clench.

"Don't push yourself next time," she said softly. "Tell me if it hurts, I won't laugh at you."

Zhou Jinlu was slightly taken aback, then a smile spread across his eyes: "Okay."

Just then, Lu Yao heard Zhao Qu's voice from outside the door: "Holy Maiden, Holy Maiden, are you there?"

Upon hearing Zhao Qu's voice, Lu Yao got up, went over, and opened the door.

Outside the door, Zhao Qu said excitedly, "Your Majesty, we have invited a doctor. I heard he used to practice medicine on the capital planet and is very skilled. Let him examine you."

Lu Yao had previously thought that Zhao Qu was just saying he would find a doctor for her, but she never expected it to be true.

She turned to look at Zhou Jinlu, who had clearly heard Zhao Qu's words as well: "Go and take a look."

Lu Yao nodded and followed Zhao Qu through the corridor to the lobby on the first floor.

She stopped in her tracks when she saw the person standing in the center of the hall.

The man was wearing a faded shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his forearms, revealing a section of his sleek wrist.

Her hair was much longer than she remembered, half-covering her eyebrows and eyes, but she recognized that face and those warm, dark eyes behind her glasses at a glance.

"Gu Jingxiao?"

Gu Jingxiao looked up, meeting Lu Yao's surprised gaze. He paused for a moment, then his eyes lit up with delight: "Miss Lu Yao, what are you doing here?"

Compared to when he was on the capital planet, Gu Jingxiao was darker and much thinner.

There was a scratch on his cheek, and I don't know how he got it.

Lu Yao looked at him, then at Zhao Qu, unsure of what to say.

Zhao Qu looked at the two of them with surprise: "Do you know each other? This makes things easier. Since you know each other, please give the Holy Maiden a thorough examination."

Gu Jingxiao suddenly heard Zhao Qu address Lu Yao as "Holy Maiden?"

Lu Yao looked embarrassed: "I'll explain later. What are you doing here?"

Gu Jingxiao glanced at Zhao Qu, who was standing next to Lu Yao rubbing his hands together, and said, "We'll have to ask him about that."

When Gu Jingxiao looked at him like that, Zhao Qu showed a rare hint of guilt.

"Well..." He rubbed his hands together and chuckled twice, "I heard you're a highly skilled doctor, so I sent someone to invite you. Maybe my subordinates were a bit too hasty and their attitude was a bit rough..."

Gu Jingxiao glanced at him indifferently: "Breaking into my clinic in the middle of the night and forcing me into a car without saying a word, is that what you call 'a bit hasty'?"

Zhao Qu's smile froze completely on his face.

Lu Yao took a deep breath and looked at Zhao Qu: "You go ahead and get busy. I'll have a few words with Dr. Gu."

"Okay, okay, okay." Zhao Qu felt like he had been granted a pardon and ran off with his underlings in a flash.

Only Lu Yao and Gu Jingxiao remained in the hall.

Gu Jingxiao looked in the direction where Zhao Qu disappeared, shook his head helplessly, and then turned to Lu Yao, scrutinizing her face carefully.

"You've lost weight," he said, his voice tinged with concern. "Are you feeling alright?"
