Chapter 872: Chapter 872: News
It’s now officially the holiday, and there are no other courses. When the 131st Combat Departnt returned from assessnt, all the students from other departnts in the sa grade had already gone ho, and many chose to return to their hotowns.
Wen Xue stayed at the school, which Ji You found a bit surprising, and couldn’t help but ask: "Wen Xue, have you decided to spend the entire sumr holiday at school?"
Wen Xue nodded with a smile, saying: "Yes. Our Material Departnt’s study workload wasn’t heavy this sester, so we were on holiday right after the assessnt. Many classmates left half a month ago, but I’m from the Third Star System, and it takes a week to go back. Plus, the route seems unsafe lately, so my family wants
to stay at school and go back after New Year."
Ji You listened.
Wen Xue continued: "Just as the cafeteria is hiring part-ti workers for the holidays, I had nothing to do, so I applied for a job. I didn’t expect to actually get it."
Ji You listened and felt a bit envious, saying: "Oh, why didn’t I catch this good opportunity?"
Wen Xue covered her mouth and giggled, saying: "I heard Ji You’s roasted rabbit skills are really superb. If Ji You were competing with , I definitely wouldn’t stand a chance." Working part-ti in the cafeteria does require so culinary skills because occasionally, when the chefs are too busy, the part-ti workers need to step up.
Ji You blushed at the ntion of roasted rabbit and said: "Stop teasing ; I don’t have any skills. It’s purely because rabbit at is tasty."
Thinking about rabbits, Ji You rembered the 200 rabbits belonging to Liu Fufeng in the rabbit shed.
Cough, cough...
Maybe try to have him repay the debt with rabbits?
Ji You stroked her chin, then turned to Wen Xue: "Thank you, Wen Xue. I’m going to eat now."
Holding the tray, Ji You finally found an empty seat amidst the crowd. She quickly put down her tray and sat down, but just as she was settling in, the large screen in the cafeteria flickered. The drama originally playing was replaced by an ergency news report:
[Currently, a massive riot of Star Beasts has occurred on Yunding Star, Feiluan Star, Kite Space Station, White Horse Junction Asteroid Belt, and Eagle Space Station... All nearby individuals are urged to evacuate imdiately!
Evacuate imdiately!
Evacuate imdiately!
...]
The news kept repeating and quickly spread across all six star systems of the Alliance, as well as the neighboring Galaxy Empire, Blue Light United States...
The cafeteria fell silent.
Students simultaneously put down their chopsticks and stared at the screen...
Silence.
Silence.
Still silence...
After repeating a few tis, the news host’s furrowed brows relaxed sowhat, and he continued: [With Admiral Bai Ji, the Sixth Corps Commander, leading the fleet, they are speeding towards the direction of the anomaly and are expected to arrive at the destination in 3 hours and 8 minutes. Wishing Admiral Bai Ji and his warriors a triumphant return!]
The news continued, starting to play so videos of the Star Beast abnormalities.
These Star Beasts weren’t just Carrion Vultures but also Peak Eagles, Skylarks... Mostly flying Star Beasts, with a small number of amphibious Star Beasts. The entire Star Beast riot was terrifying; so small planets were shattered in the blink of an eye by this mob of flying Star Beasts. In a mont, the planet was torn apart, transforming into countless fragnts of varying sizes, sweeping across the starry sky in all directions—
This scene truly shocked the students in the cafeteria, and they unconsciously tightened their grip on the chopsticks.
Honestly, all the students present, whether they were first-year newbies, second-years with so accomplishnts, third-years with solid skills, or fourth-years on the brink of graduation—these twenty-year-old kids, whether knowing the terror of Star Beast riots or having watched countless old imagery of Star Beast riots... None of those matched the shock of this real-ti scene.
It’s real.
It just happened.
It might cause massive destruction.
It’s about to trigger a disaster affecting the survival of humanity.
...
No one is left unstirred.
Ji You furrowed her brows, gripping her chopsticks: Kite Space Station, Eagle Space Station...
Senior He Bi, Elder Chen Ke, Captain Babyface Tang Qi, Senior Brother Han Zheng...
Familiar or unfamiliar faces swept through Ji You’s mind. Looking at the fragrant braised pork ribs in front of her, she suddenly felt they weren’t appetizing. The chopsticks wouldn’t go down.
Nearby.
After a long silence, a student suddenly said: "Several hundred students from the 130th Combat Departnt went to Eagle Space Station nearby for assessnt, and they still haven’t returned."
Everyone: "..."
That statent broke the silence, and soon another student frowned, saying: "This year’s fourth-year students from the Combat Departnt have already officially entered service at various Legions, with 70% heading to the Sixth Legion."
The Sixth Legion is in the most dangerous area.
Will these students participate in resisting the Star Beast riot this ti?
Will they... be safe?
...
No student provided an answer.
The atmosphere of being unable to eat gradually spread throughout the student body. Holding chopsticks, looking at their food, all imrsed in silence...
For a while.
Soone picked up chopsticks and hastily ate.
There’s no ti to waste.
Not a minute, not even a second can be lost.
...
Ji You also picked up her chopsticks, forcibly stuffing food into her mouth—one bite, two bites, three bites... Sothing that usually took a few minutes to finish was polished off in less than 3 minutes.
After eating, Ji You got up and tossed her tray into the recycling bin, imdiately contacting Chu Jiaojiao, saying seriously: "Jiaojiao, do you have ti? Let’s have a match, the kind where the punches really hit!"
Chu Jiaojiao had already eaten, just returned to her dormitory, and upon receiving Ji You’s invitation, she readily agreed, saying: "Ji You, be prepared. No matter how good-looking you are, I won’t hold back."
Ji You: "..."
Ji You scoffed: "Do I need you to hold back? That’s a joke, I am the king standing at the World’s Peak!"
Chu Jiaojiao’s voice rose: "Then let’s see if it’s , Chu Jiaojiao, or you, Ji You, standing at the World’s Peak!"
Ji You chuckled softly: "I’m coming."
Leaving the cafeteria, Ji You wasn’t stingy. She spent 5 credit points to find a self-service floating car to head to Chu Jiaojiao’s dormitory.
Unlike self-funded students, those like Chu Jiaojiao and Shen Changqing who were admitted to Lanyue Star Military Academy based on their scores had their dormitory areas in a different location, and the environnt was incredibly beautiful.
When Ji You arrived, the rose flowers in the dormitory area were blooming all over the branches, and the walls of the dormitory buildings were covered with roses of pink, purple, red, white, and yellow...
Gorgeous colors and breathtaking beauty.
Looking at this scene, thinking of the resource-poor Garbage Star No. 101, Ji You sighed: "It’s spring; I wonder if the Iron Pear Wood on the garbage planet has blood yet?"
