......

But the entire planet has been taken over by insectoid beasts, so where can they go?

It's no use going anywhere; after the insect swarm invades, there's nowhere safe.

Insects are everywhere, and going underground is useless. Insects can burrow underground, and their only passage will be blocked, leaving them with no way to escape.

With nowhere else to turn, Gao Xing led Qin Qin into an aircraft factory.

He smashed open the half-collapsed alloy door and rushed into the empty assembly workshop with Qinqin.

The massive factory dome had several large holes torn in it, clearly indicating that it had been invaded by insectoid beasts.

Bloodstains were scattered on the ground, but no body could be found.

Every human who dies becomes food for insects, and nourishment for insect mothers to lay more insects.

The insect-like beasts chasing them kept burrowing in, and Gao Xing, pulling Qin Qin along, ran through the passage, almost in despair.

Where else could he take Qinqin?

Suddenly, Qinqin noticed something by the side of the passage.

"Gao Xing, over there!" Qin Qin shouted hoarsely, her throat almost burning from running.

Gao Xing turned his head to look over.

Next to the cargo channel was a fully intact aircraft, partially covered by a tarpaulin.

That could be a prototype used for demonstration purposes by the factory, a finished product that has already been assembled.

This prototype looks like it's finished, but I don't know if it's been filled with energy or if it can be started.

But in dire straits, it still seems like a sliver of hope.

Gao Xing abruptly shoved Qin Qin toward the open hatch of the spacecraft: "You go try! I'll stop them!"

He turned around and stood guard against the horde of insects, becoming a guardian deity and blocking the aircraft behind him.

His speed had noticeably slowed down, and the crimson-gold light flickered violently, illuminating the scene like a star about to go out.

But his figure remained upright, like a Great Wall that would never retreat, guarding Qin Qin's side.

The swarm of insects pursued relentlessly, with countless insects swarming down from the passage behind and through the gap in the dome!

Gao Xing didn't even turn his head.

He violently stepped forward and smashed the head of a Zergling with a single punch. Then, he broke off the Zergling's large claws and used them as weapons to cleave the two closest Zerglings in two mid-air.

More insects and beasts surged in, blocking all the exits and surrounding him from all sides.

Qin Qin stumbled and fell into the driver's seat.

Tears mixed with blood blurred her vision. She wiped her eyes hard, tore off the protective film on the control panel, and pressed the start button based on her long-forgotten memory of reading Gao Xing's textbook.

Move faster, move faster!!!

Several enormous spiky beetles had already smashed through the obstacles and were rolling towards them.

The stinging beetle's spines can pierce the outer shell of a spacecraft, and once the outer shell is destroyed, it's useless for them to fly into space.

Qin Qin shoved the control lever hard and pressed the start button all the way down: "Move it now—!!!"

Om-!

A muffled engine roar came from the rear of the prototype machine, and several indicator lights on the instrument panel lit up.

Great!Great!

This spacecraft is powered!!!

The prototype machine had not been calibrated and was being ignited for the first time. Several unstable blue flames shot out from the bottom, making a choppy and violent trembling sound.

But it moved.

It slid forward crookedly, crashing through several scattered metal frames, and rose shakily.

"Stars!!" Qin Qin shouted as she opened the door of the spacecraft.

But Gao Xing just watched her from all that surrounding Zerg.

With so many Zerg, he might not be able to leave.

The spaceship may have taken a long time to take off, and he's gone. The spacecraft may be brought down by the Zerg.

Let Qinqin go; he'll cover the rear.

Qinqin knew what he meant, but she gritted her teeth and said in a trembling voice, "I'll count to three. If you don't come up, I'll jump. I mean what I say."

Gao Xing blinked and gave a very faint smile.

Why do we still insist on making him go up? His alpha blood is almost burned out.

The giant horn of the beetle slammed into Gao Xing's back. With his last bit of strength, Gao Xing used the beetle's head as a springboard and leaped forward, grabbing the edge of the aircraft's hatch tightly!

boom!

The ramming horn of the spiky beetle slammed into the spot where Gao Xing had just been standing, cracking the ground and sending debris flying.

Using the dust kicked up by the impact of the spiked armor as cover, the prototype accelerated erratically, crashed through a precarious wall on the side of the factory, and broke out of the encirclement.

Countless insects and beasts looked at the sky and hissed.

Gao Xing and Qin Qinfei looked down from mid-air and saw that the peaceful Satellite 78 had been completely overrun by the insect swarm.

The planet was covered by swarms of insects and beasts, and everywhere was filled with blood and fire; not a single living person could be seen.

They have no home.

The flying Zerg charged forward.

Qinqin dared not look any longer. She wiped away her tears, pulled the lever, and the aircraft rose vertically.

Despite being attacked by countless insects and beasts, the dilapidated prototype miraculously broke through the atmosphere of Satellite 78 and plunged into the cold, desolate space.

The feeling of weightlessness came instantly, and the roar of the engine suddenly weakened, turning into a low hum.

The prototype aircraft sped forward in the vacuum due to inertia, shaking off the scattered Zerg pursuers.

We're safe for now.

Qin Qin slumped in the driver's seat, panting heavily. He was exhausted from surviving the ordeal and could barely hold onto the control stick.

"Star, we survived!" she exclaimed excitedly, but received no response.

Then she suddenly realized that Gao Xing had been silent for a long time.

She turned to look in the direction of the hatch.

Gao Xing lay there, motionless.

The light emanating from him had completely faded, and the horrific wound on his back, which had torn from his neck down to his lower back, began to bleed again, the dark red blood almost soaking the ground beneath him.

"Xingxing!" Qin Qin scrambled over and frantically tried to cover the wound on his back.

However, the wound on his back was too large for her to cover with both hands.

Gao Xing's face was ashen, his breathing was so weak that it was almost imperceptible, and the area around the glands on the back of his neck was a bloody mess, almost completely gone.

Her medicine kit contained only medicine, but no tools for treating external injuries.

Such an injury requires stitches; if the bleeding isn't stopped quickly, Gao Xing will undoubtedly die.

Gao Xing's high-energy alpha blood had already been burned out, how much blood could he still bleed?

The prototype was completely empty, and to make matters worse, the control panel started flashing an alarm: "[Running out of fuel!]"

Running out of fuel!

Running out of fuel!

What should I do?

Qinqin was truly in despair.

She frantically searched the driver's cab, trying to find something useful.

To prevent accidents, spacecraft capable of going into space are usually equipped with emergency life support systems in the cockpit.

I don't know if it's been put in this sample machine.

Fortunately, it was also placed in this sample machine.

She found a metal cabinet door on the bulkhead with a flashing blue indicator light, and the words "Emergency Life Support Ice Chamber" were printed on it.

Upon opening it, it was indeed an ice-sealed chamber.

When a driver encounters an emergency, such as lack of oxygen or water, loss of life support, or serious injury without access to medical care, an ice-sealing chamber can be used to freeze vital signs and buy time for rescue.

However, once inside the ice chamber and the pilot loses consciousness, everything that follows is left to fate; it's a last resort.

In this situation, it can still be considered a way to survive.

Qin Qin used all her strength to lift Gao Xing's upper body, trying to drag him towards the ice-sealed pod.

But Gao Xing's body felt as heavy as if it were filled with lead.

Gao Xing is nearly 1.9 meters tall, with very high bone and muscle density, and weighs around 170 kilograms.

Qinqin was just a frail female Omega, 1.6 meters tall and weighing less than 100 kilograms.

"Ugh...!" Qin Qin gritted her teeth, her slender arms bursting with power beyond their limits.

She dragged Gao Xing's body inch by inch.

Gao Xing's body left shocking bloodstains on the floor.

Every drop of blood was tearing at Qinqin's heart.

"Xingxing! Wake up, move! Please, move!" Qinqin cried as she dragged Gao Xing, large tears falling onto Gao Xing's bloodless face.

Her hands trembled from the effort, yet still appeared utterly powerless.

"Why do I have to be an Omega?!" She broke down in tears.

She had never hated her omega identity as much as she did today—not when she was forcibly taken away, not when she couldn't go to school, and not when she was forced into blind dates.

But now, she truly hates her omega identity.

If she were an alpha... no, even if she weren't an alpha, even if she were a beta, if she were a little stronger, she could easily move Gao Xing into the cryo-chamber, instead of being unable to move him no matter what she did, with hope right in front of her, but she could only watch helplessly as his life slipped through her fingers.

"Gao Xing, just hang in there a little longer, it'll be over soon, just a little longer—!!"

She used her arms, her shoulders, and even her head to push against it.

Using every part of his body that could exert force, he pushed Gao Xing's nearly 1.9-meter-tall, heavy body little by little to the side of the ice-sealed pod.

The hatch opened, and a cold, white mist billowed out.

Using an overturned chair as a lever, Qin Qin pushed and pried until she finally got Gao Xing into the ice capsule.

She herself was almost exhausted, leaning against the cabin door, panting heavily.

Sweat mixed with tears soaked her hair and clothes. Before she could wipe them away, she trembled as she reached out to find the start button inside the cabin. Just as she was about to press it, she realized that Gao Xing's chest was no longer rising and falling.

"No, no, no, no, please, Xingxing, please don't leave me alone!" Qinqin reached out and frantically cupped Gao Xing's face, shouting in despair.

Gao Xing's face was cold and unresponsive.

"Mom and Dad are gone, I only have you left! Gao Xing! And BB is still waiting for us to pick him up! You can't die! Gao Xing!!!"

Perhaps Gao Xing heard her words, because he suddenly took a deep breath and his chest began to rise and fall again.

Before Qinqin could wipe away her tears, she pressed the button to activate the freeze!

laugh--!

The heavy lid of the ice-sealed chamber closed rapidly, and a large amount of extremely cold white freezing gas was ejected from inside!

The fog instantly engulfed Gao Xing's unconscious body.

Qin Qin kept staring at the transparent window on the ice-sealed capsule, watching as white frost rapidly condensed inside the canopy, slowly blurring Gao Xing's ashen, sleeping face.

Until the window was completely covered by frost flowers and could no longer be seen.

The green light for "Ice Preservation" on the instrument panel lit up.

The extremely cold air froze his body, and also froze the wound.

If he doesn't die while frozen, he won't die when he's thawed.

Qin Qin slid down to sit on the floor, her back against the activated ice-sealed pod.

The cabin emanated a bone-chilling cold, but she refused to leave, curling up and burying her face in her knees.

......

With energy running low, the ice-sealed capsules needed to be reserved for use on higher-level planets. To conserve energy, Qin Qin also entered the hibernation capsule to minimize the spacecraft's energy consumption and allow them to last longer.

All energy is prioritized for supplying the high-star's ice capsule and a weak distress signal transmitter.

Then all the spacecraft's engines shut down, and it began drifting in space.
