Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder!-Chapter 513 - 10: I’m a Woman (10)

The starship changed direction and headed along a different route.

Indeed, traveling through the wormhole is fast. The journey that originally required more than a month now, after just three days, had reached the familiar navigation route.

Luo Xiao said that through one more wormhole, they would directly arrive near the Purple Cloud Star.

Shen Jian felt inexplicably nervous. After three years, how was Shuning? He had worked very hard; would Shuning like him? Over the past three years, due to constantly tracking the Thief Gang, to avoid signal interception, he couldn’t use the Star Net and naturally couldn’t have video calls with Li Shuning.

Occasionally when he went to rest at a space station, he often got taken by Luo Xiao to handle matters, so he had only spoken with Li Shuning once in three years.

While Shen Jian was lost in thought, the starship entered the wormhole again.

It went smoothly, but the moment they exited the wormhole, the starship suddenly came under fierce attack.

The whole starship shook.

Shen Jian almost fell but managed to grab the railing beside him.

At this point, alarms continuously sounded on the starship. Many people were already preparing to fight back.

Shen Jian quickly walked toward the command room, and sure enough, Luo Xiao was standing there.

He hadn’t entered yet but heard voices from inside.

"Sir, our starship had no fixed route, so it was always safe. In recent times, we rushed the journey by traveling through several wormholes, and the information got leaked. Besides, our route is clearly heading toward Purple Cloud Star, so they must have set an ambush here. The starship’s left side has already been damaged, please board the mecha and leave, we will hold them off."

Luo Xiao’s voice was somewhat cold: "I never run away alone. If it’s a battle, then let’s fight."

Shen Jian felt somewhat guilty, it was all because of him, that they rushed the journey and got blocked here.

Shen Jian felt uneasy in his heart.

In the end, he didn’t enter the command room.

He went to the position he usually guarded, standing by vigilantly.

In the command room, there were not only images of outside the starship, but also video feeds from inside.

Luo Xiao naturally saw Shen Jian’s arrival.

With her vice admiral’s divine assistance, she felt a subtle joy.

This whole event was entirely within her control.

She was the one who covertly leaked the information.

She wasn’t too worried about truly being surrounded.

Not to mention this location was near Purple Cloud Star, she dared to leak the information because she had effective countermeasures.

But now they needed to hold off initially, otherwise how could they make Shen Jian feel guilty and moved?

This battle was indeed intense.

It was obvious that the other side also wanted a quick battle, knowing if Purple Cloud Star noticed and dispatched reinforcements, they’d be finished.

As long as they could destroy Luo Xiao’s starship, kill Luo Xiao or capture her, they could just dive into the wormhole, and be gone beyond trace. Who’d know who they were?

If they were lucky to capture Luo Xiao alive, they’d even get a chance to extort the Alliance.

They could reach here, all under disguise.

Over the years, Luo Xiao had taken down numerous Thief Gangs, everyone hated her, everyone was at a point of no return, this rare opportunity was not to be missed.

Luo Xiao had already contacted the Tenth Rank experts from Purple Cloud Star, and at this moment, she was fighting back without hesitation.

Since Luo Xiao’s starship was blocking the wormhole exit, if the opposing starship wanted to escape, it couldn’t jump into the wormhole, differing from what they had planned.

Therefore, quite a few people had boarded Luo Xiao’s starship.

Shen Jian was already fighting fiercely on his side.

Luo Xiao naturally also confronted the enemy, while the vice admiral in the command room directed the fight against external foes.

Quite a few had come in, including those with strong combat skills.

Shen Jian faced difficulties combating them.

Luo Xiao’s arrangement was meticulous in terms of timing.

She knew when reinforcements would arrive.

With Luo Xiao steadily approaching Shen Jian, the crowd naturally grew, and Shen Jian’s side was no longer one-on-one.

Shen Jian was barely holding on.

Seeing a laser knife about to pierce his body, Shen Jian’s eyes fluctuated with despair, he wanted to avoid critical areas, but someone else was entangling him, he couldn’t evade.

At this moment, Luo Xiao rushed over entirely, directly embraced Shen Jian, and in the next instant, the laser knife stabbed straight into Luo Xiao’s back.

Luo Xiao revealed a pained expression, then kicked backward, the attacker was kicked flying.

Pressing on Shen Jian’s shoulder, she spun and kicked the person before them equally away.

By now, the opposing side seemed to have received a message, and began retreating rapidly one by one; some who reached the starship’s deck opened the Space Button, entered the mecha, ready to flee.

Shen Jian was a bit dazed, he hadn’t expected Luo Xiao to save him in such a manner.

By now Luo Xiao’s face was somewhat pale, the external battle seemed to intensify, but the overall situation was clearly under control.

Witnessing Luo Xiao’s body staggering, Shen Jian hurriedly stepped forward, supporting Luo Xiao toward the medical cabin.

Inside the medical cabin, there were military doctors.

Seeing the admiral injured, the military doctors immediately went into action, quickly completing the examination, Shen Jian learned that the knife had stabbed into her back, almost pierced through, narrowly missing her heart.

Shen Jian was terrified.

While deeply moved, he also felt guilty.

If it weren’t for his eagerness to return, none of this would have happened.

By now, Luo Xiao had already been transported to the medical cabin.

Luo Xiao’s injuries were serious; recovery would likely take quite a long time.

Shen Jian walked out, a bit dazed.

He walked through the starship, seeing many injured, even some dead.

Shen Jian knew them all, after all, they had spent over three years together, even shared meals and jokes.

But now, those people lay there coldly.

Shen Jian felt deeply sad, the guilt overwhelming, it was all because of him.

He collapsed in a corner, curling up, hugging his knees, in agony.

He didn’t know how long he stayed that way, until someone kept shaking him, he lifted his dazed eyes, then saw Luo Xiao’s anxious face.

Shen Jian felt muddled, in his memory, Luo Xiao had always been calm and proud in front of others, showing emotions only with him.

Plus today’s life-saving grace, Shen Jian’s heart melted.

Previously if there was any distance between them, it now disappeared completely.

"Brother Luo, why did you come out? Your injury?"

"It’s nothing, just need some rest. Xiao Jian, what’s wrong? Why are you sitting here?"

Suddenly, Shen Jian burst into tears, in his young life, he had always been reckless, smooth-sailing, never shouldering such a heavy blow.
