Chapter 1326: Chapter 1326: Run Away Fast (Eight Updates)"Hey!" You yelled a few times, and suddenly the door swung open. Two soldiers rushed in holding guns. Unfortunately for these hapless soldiers, their screen time was far too short, as you knocked them unconscious with just two punches. However, when you began stripping the uniform off one of them, you suddenly realized these two soldiers were women.

    "Damn!" You cursed and immediately bolted out the door.

    As you zipped through the corridor at high speed, the battleship’s alarm roared to life: "Prisoner escape in Zone C. Seal all corridors and capture the enemy alive!"

    You only had one thought—to make it to your shuttle as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, in this gravity-free environment, your speed advantage was significantly diminished. You were unfamiliar with the layout of these passages, and the only way out was to grab someone who could lead the way. As luck would have it, a soldier appeared right in front of you.

    "You..."

    A woman’s voice, but that wouldn’t make you hesitate.

    Without wasting a second, you subdued her, gripping her neck with one hand and barking, "Tell me how to get out of here, or I’ll snap your neck!"

    To your surprise, the woman didn’t plead for her life with a clichéd "Don’t kill me" line. Instead, she stared straight at you, her eyes shimmering as if on the verge of tears.

    After a long pause, she finally said, "I’ve found you at last."

    "What did you just say?"

    You couldn’t help but feel that this woman looked somewhat familiar. She was quite pretty, comparable to the beauties you’d encountered before—but her tendency to cry was a downside.

    "Don’t you remember? You saved me back in Chaoge City."

    "No idea." You quickly replied. Right now, you were fighting for survival—reminiscing about trivial matters was out of the question.

    "I’m Xie Xinying, the one you helped at the altar."

    "Still don’t remember. My memory’s bad." Your grip tightened around Xie Xinying’s delicate neck. "Cut the crap—help me escape! I don’t want to die here."

    "Die? That’s impossible. This is an Alliance battleship," she responded. Sёar?h the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    "Bullshit!" You snarled and glared fiercely at Xie Xinying. With more force applied to your grip, you shouted fiercely, "Cut the nonsense! Just get me out of here now!"

    "You..."

    Xie Xinying felt her heart shatter. Before meeting you, she’d envisioned countless romantic scenarios. But reality turned out to be unbearably cruel.

    And for you, the situation was equally frustrating—you couldn’t bring yourself to kill Xie Xinying, nor did you want to. But you also couldn’t afford to waste time standing around.

    "Screw it!"

    You shot her a venomous glare before swiftly zipping down the corridor.

    "There he is!" A few soldiers suddenly appeared at the end of the passage.

    "Get lost!" You swiftly took them down in a matter of seconds and vanished into another corridor.

    "Why? Why is it like this?"

    Xie Xinying couldn’t understand. She truly couldn’t comprehend why you wouldn’t even recognize her. She’d expected at least a glimmer of familiarity in your eyes—or at the very least, a moment straight out of a television drama or novel. But none of her imagined scenarios came to pass. Like a gust of wind, you brushed past her, leaving a piercing ache in her heart as you vanished.

    "Does he hate me?" Xie Xinying asked herself.

    "Bastard!"

    As Xie Xinying wallowed in doubt, you suddenly turned back. This time, you floated in front of her with unusually polite composure, your face an earnest plea. "Miss, could you kindly tell me where the Mech Soldier standby bay is?"

    "He’s back! He really came back! He didn’t abandon me!" Xie Xinying felt her whole body come alive with excitement.

    Seeing that she wasn’t responding, you helplessly smacked your own face dramatically. "Ah, forget I said anything! Go on, whatever." You bolted off again.

    "Hey! Just go straight right!" Xie Xinying frantically called out as you sped away.

    "Thanks!" You threw her a flashing grin before hurrying toward the direction she’d pointed. In that moment, Xie Xinying found your smile irresistibly charming—utterly mesmerizing.

    This reaction was understandable. Xie Xinying was an ordinary girl, and she had her idealized vision of a prince charming etched vividly in her mind.

    Every time you appeared, you left her profoundly shaken. Though the two of you hadn’t crossed paths often, her heart was already engraved with your image.

    As for you, romantic sentiments like hers were far from your concern. Your sole focus now was reaching the Axe. Although it hadn’t yet been fully assembled, the Axe’s core was a universal fighter mech. Once inside the operational pod, your survival would be assured.

    But when you finally reached the Mech Soldier standby bay, all you found was a Zuku—its left arm completely dismantled. Before you could turn back, a large squad was already rushing toward you.

    The situation was dire. Gritting your teeth, you leaped into Zuku’s cockpit without hesitation and activated it. With a swift turn, Zuku shot toward the launch rail.

    "Damn it! What kind of garbage OS is this? Which idiot designed it?"

    Frustrated, you accessed the modification control keys and frantically began typing on the keyboard. In less than ten seconds, you rewrote the entire OS.

    Firing a shot at the overhead iron supports, you collapsed them to block the pursuit path of the soldiers.

    "Close the hatch—don’t let him escape!"

    Meanwhile, Xie Xinying had rushed to the control room. She pleaded with the middle-aged man seated on the captain’s chair. "Uncle Jiang, don’t hurt him. He’s my friend."

    The man turned to her with a bitter smile. "Hurt him? At this point, I just hope he doesn’t hurt us. That man is a Law Enforcer. If he escapes, the entire Alliance will suffer his ruthless retaliation."

    "Captain, he’s destroyed the side door and escaped!"

    "Knew it. Contact the Qinglong now!"

    "Yes, sir!"

    "How did it come to this?" Xie Xinying mumbled in panic, staring at the screen displaying the one-armed Zuku. Turning back to the captain, she asked, "What do you plan to do to him?"

    "If he doesn’t resist, we’ll follow the Humanitarian Path and won’t destroy him. But if he resists, the first to take him down won’t be me—it’ll be Eastern Cloud Dragon."

    "Eastern Cloud Dragon?"

    "Look, there he is."

    Xie Xinying’s gaze shifted, landing on a massive warship emerging within the universe sector. She clenched her fists tightly, praying over and over: "Run. Run away!"

    "Dammit!"

    As soon as you spotted the Qinglong, you realized you were in deep trouble. The screen before you flickered, revealing Eastern Cloud Dragon himself. Elegant as ever, his current demeanor was icy and hostile as he commanded you, "Surrender your weapon."

    "Ha." You scoffed coldly. "Not happening."

    Without hesitation, you fired several shots at the Qinglong’s missile launchers, twisting Zuku’s body swiftly to attempt an escape.

    "Think you can run?" Eastern Cloud Dragon barked at his deputy, Guo Yu. "Deploy the Zukus now!"

    From Qinglong’s launch rails, over a dozen Zukus shot forth, chasing fiercely after you.
