Chapter 201 - Farewell
Special World.
Imperial Calendar, Year 3031.
A blinding flash of light appeared and it was followed by a loud explosion when the light hit a ch, which is unmanned.
The supposed pilot of the cha that was now reduced to junks after being exploded rolled on the ground to avoid the long and sharp nails from the claws of the large Zergs attacking him.
"Who is it – " he muttered as he panted, catching his breath after he hid behind a large boulder, staying away from the sight of the group of the Zergs. That light that attacked him ca from a particle gun. He couldn't mistake it.
The Zergs, although ferocious, only knows how to attack physically using the parts of their body such as their claw, their tails, their wings, their teeth, etc.. However, that light that ca from a particle gun is definitely manipulated by a human..
Soone attacked him. Added to the fact that the reason why he crashed in this planet of the Zergs is due to an 'accident'. But from that attack, intending to kill him using the explosion of his ch, he couldn't consider his 'accident' as an authentic accident. Soone wants to kill him.
His 'accident' is due to his ch failed from losing control; it detoured and landed on this planet. He imdiately recognized the planet and, due to his landing is too eye-catching from a loud crash, he imdiately went out of his ch to avoid being surrounded by the Zergs. He didn't think he avoided being blown to pieces inside his ch. However, the Zergs were too quick to respond and surrounded him the mont he left his ch. It was as if they were already prepared to 'welco' him…
"Tch." He clicked his tongue as he reloaded his gun using his spiritual power. His spiritual power ranked S, and his physical strength ranked A. Although he had nearly avoided to die from explosion, but it seems he can't avoid being gnawed to death by the Zergs.
He took a deep breath as he opened his light brain and called his uncle – who is now his stepfather, Huo Jinghua. "Youngest uncle." He called.
"Howee!" Huo Jinghua cried when he saw his nephew/stepson. "How are you? We've lost contact from your ch and by the ti we tried locating it, you – you… you're in the Zergs' territory!" he exclaid.
"Howee – " Mary Jackson was crying beside Huo Jinghua. Huo Jinghua imdiately appeased her.
"Yes." Howee wryly smiled. "Soone tampered with my ch, causing to crash in this planet. Then, the mont I landed, my ch exploded. Soone attacked from the dark… I don't know where they are. They are well-hidden, and my spiritual power can't locate them." he gritted his teeth in anger.
"Howee, you…" Huo Jinghua's jaw clenched in anger. "I already sent reinforcents. Hold on – "
Howee cut him off. "You know I can't." he told him before he turned to Mary Jackson whose eyes are bloodshot as she cried. "Mom. Listen to uncle, okay? Although he's younger than you, but you also have to listen to him as he always listened to you." He told her before he sighed. He could feel the Zergs are approaching the place where he is hiding. Then, he smiled. "Uncle. Please be more patient with mom." He told him. "I love you, the two of you." He told them.
"Howee – " they both called.
However, Howee already ended the call. When he raised his head, he saw the Zergs in front of him running in the distance. He helplessly sighed as he made another call. "Dad." He called after Gerard Jackson finally answered.
Gerard Jackson greeted him with curses. "DAMN IT! HOW CAN YOU… - !" he said, his face livid with anger.
Howee knew what he ant. "It isn't ." he said.
"I KNOW! I BLOODY HELL KNOW!" Gerard Jackson yelled. "When I found that bloody bastard, I – " he said and uttered a string of curses once again.
Howee held his temple. He felt his head ached. "Lewis, are you there?" he called.
"Howee." Contrary to Gerard Jackson's violent reaction, Lewis Johnson was calm. But, deadly calm.
Howee can't help but shiver when he saw Lewis' deep eyes. He knew, Lewis is very mad. The calr he is, the angrier he was. He and Gerard Jackson must have found his location by now. "I'm sorry." He said and hang his head.
"What about your unit?" Lewis asked. Howee is the captain of the fourth unit of the empire.
"I also lost contact with them after my ch failed." Howee shook his head. "Lewis." He called.
Lewis's eyes behind the lenses of his black-frad eyeglasses closed as if he was already expecting what Howee's going to say. However, he can't accept it. "Can't you hold on longer?" he asked. in the background, he heard Gerard Jackson thrashing the office and was howling in anger. He didn't dare face Howee who is going to die.
Howee chuckled despite his situation. The Zergs are coming closer. "I can't. You won't make it in ti." He told them.
'You won't make it in ti'. Lewis felt like his heart was punched while Gerard Jackson stopped breaking the walls. "I'm sorry." Lewis Johnson said. His voice is hoarse.
Howee shook his head as he started to shoot the Zergs in front of him. He leapt on top of the boulder before he leapt in the air, barely avoiding the Zerg's claw coming from behind him. "Ugh – " he cried before he activated his other ch to fly in the air and escape. "It's not your fault." He said as multiple guns appeared on the surface of his ch and shot the Zergs that flew behind him, chasing him. "If you find that bastard that sched against , please feed him to the Zergs." He told Lewis.
"HOWEE - !" Gerard Jackson called.
However, Howee already ended the call. Then, he saw an incoming call from Harry Walter. He felt his already aching head ached more as he answered the call.
"Howee." Harry Walter called, his face and voice imposing.
"Uncle-in-law…" Howee timidly called as he moved his gaze away from his light brain even though Harry Walter isn't in from of him.
Before Harry could respond, Jiang Ce's voice was heard. "Harry! What are you scaring Howee for?!" he howled as he pinched Harry Walter's cheeks. Then, he turned to Howee and the ferocious expression on his face was replaced by sorrow as he gazed at Howee. "Don't get mad at your uncle-in-law. He called you since he is worried about you." He explained. "Howee, we will send you reinforcents, so please hold on a little longer. Your uncle-in-law is about to depart to save you, thus he called you beforehand – " he said.
"Uncle." Howee called. "I'm sorry, but I can never go back." He said as his voice choked. His eyes reddened. His defenses he built in order not to show his fear and sadness towards Mary Jackson, Huo Jinghua, Gerard Jackson and Lewis Johnson slowly crumbled. "I – " he said, his voice hoarse and his nose felt sour. His eyes also sting because of the tears he was holding back. "I'm sorry I failed to see you last week. And – " his tears fell. " – goodbye – " he ended the call as he howled inside his ch.
