Chapter 295 Departure

When the convoy stopped, the players watching from afar were already packed like sardines, their eyes glued to the convoy as it unloaded boxes of supplies in the open space, piling them into small mountains. A group of selected professional players stood waiting nearby in twos and threes.

And the most watched Han Xiao was standing alone to the side, looking up at the sky, seemingly waiting for something.

Many players excitedly turned on their recording functions.

"So, he's leaving today."

Everyone was curious how Han Xiao would leave Aquamarine Star. The players had been looking forward to this for a long time, their faces full of curiosity as they looked up at the sky together.

It was dawn, and the sun was slowly rising from the distant horizon, the world becoming brighter and brighter, the darkness gradually being dispelled.

Just then, in the sky directly above the crowd, a black shadow the size of an ant suddenly appeared. Straining their eyes, they could make out the outline of a spaceship, slowly descending.

"Look, a spaceship!"

At first, the crowd was still marveling and discussing, but as the shadow of the spaceship grew larger and larger in their view, and their vision dimmed, the sound of discussion gradually subsided. The noisy scene suddenly became deathly silent.

Tens of thousands of people opened their mouths wide, all rendered speechless by the scene before them!

When the spaceship was still high in the sky, its outline was only the size of a green bean. It wasn't until it descended to a few hundred meters above their heads that they realized how terrifyingly large it was. A mountain-like shadow stretched across the sky, silently enveloping everyone's heads, blocking out the sun!

"My god... how big is that ship?!"

Looking up from the ground, the field of vision was completely blocked by the spaceship, a vast expanse of darkness with no end in sight. Only the outline of the ship could be seen against the light. The moment the Short Corner Star descended, a line of poetry floated into everyone's minds.

*Black clouds loom, threatening to crush the city.*

The Short Corner Star, the main ship of the tour group, a large travel spaceship with its own self-contained ecosystem, could even be used as a mobile space station, capable of long-distance travel in space. It was surrounded by probe devices and patrol defense cannons, and equipped with a high-energy polymer shield. This single large main ship alone could traverse the entire Aquamarine Star.

The onlookers were so shocked, not to mention the group of selected professional players, who all gasped. In their eyes, Han Xiao was just a figure from Aquamarine Star, yet he could summon such a large spaceship. It was unbelievable.

However, Han Xiao's display of great power also gave this group of teammates a lot of confidence.

The scene was too impactful, full of science-fiction beauty. The mechanical monster and the environment were in perfect harmony, fully qualified to be a desktop wallpaper. Players rushed to take photos and videos.

A box-shaped suspended cabin separated from the Short Corner Star, four jet nozzles below spewing blue flames, slowly landed in front of Han Xiao, kicking up a cloud of dust. This was a special airdrop cabin for receiving ground passengers, full of mechanical style, with precise structure, all metal, pure mechanical technology.

The hatch opened with a whoosh, and the folding gangway extended section by section to Han Xiao.

"Hurry up and get on board, I can't wait to have a drink," Kerlodd said impatiently as he walked up, completely forgetting that his savings were no longer under his control.

Han Xiao called on this group of player teammates to work as coolies, moving all the supply boxes up, and then stepped onto the airdrop cabin. The hatch closed automatically, and the airdrop cabin took off vertically, embedding itself into the Short Corner Star.

Immediately afterward, the Short Corner Star quickly ascended. Such a large spaceship flew silently and without any tail flame, giving everyone a very strong sense of contrast. When docking on a planet, the Short Corner Star would turn off its engine and only turn on its anti-gravity core to save fuel.

"After messing around on Aquamarine Star for so long, I'm finally taking this step." Looking at the crowd gradually turning into ants through the porthole, Han Xiao secretly exhaled.

From here on, the sky is high and the sea is wide, a fish leaping and an eagle soaring.

On the ground, countless players stared blankly as the spaceship disappeared into the sky, and the sunlight shone down again.

…

Inside the Third Sanctuary, Hela stood behind her sister, her hands on Aurora's shoulders, both of them looking up at the descending Short Corner Star.

"Will he come back?" Aurora asked curiously.

Hela was silent for a while, then slowly shook her head. "That's a wider world. Once you go out, why come back?"

"Sister, why don't we go with him?"

Hela rubbed Aurora's light golden hair without saying a word.

"...Sister, you're hurting me."

Only then did Hela realize that she was pressing too hard, and she immediately slowed down.

The bear cub next to her roared at the sky a few times, then lay on the ground, burying its head in its paws, its butt sticking up, whimpering softly, as if it was sad that its owner had left it.

Aurora touched the soft bear fur, her mood low, and whispered, "Can we still see him?"

"We'll meet again sooner or later."

"But you just said he wouldn't come back."

"Mm." Hela didn't explain further. Aurora understood Hela's subtext and her eyes lit up, her mood perking up again.

…

"He's gone."

In the First Sanctuary, Bennett was in a video call with Huang Yu, listening to Huang Yu's report.

"From now on, the Third Sanctuary will be entrusted to you. Don't change Han Xiao's measures. Other than that, you can decide on other matters yourself."

"Okay, thank you for your trust, Mr. Bennett." Huang Yu was excited. After being a coolie for so long, he had finally become a full-time employee.

"Don't thank me, Han Xiao recommended you before he left."

"I understand." Huang Yu nodded heavily, keeping it in mind.

After ending the call, Bennett opened his secret account and clicked on the pressure note jointly sent by the Six Nations a few days ago, a playful look on his face.

Rylan had joined other countries to put pressure on the Dark Net. Bennett himself had suppressed this matter, not wanting Han Xiao to be bothered by these things before he left.

And now that the matter was a foregone conclusion, the way his old friend left was enough to shake the Six Nations' understanding. Even he himself was shocked. Bennett was very curious what Rylan's side was feeling now.

…

There were too many witnesses to this event, causing a huge impact globally. The recording quickly spread on the Internet, and the people of Aquamarine Star witnessed the scene of a mountain-like giant spaceship landing on the planet, which was extremely sensational.

The Short Corner Star was so huge that it didn't avoid anything when it landed, bringing shock to the Six Nations. Satellites discovered the Short Corner Star, and the Six Nations were panicked and about to send air forces to negotiate. However, the Short Corner Star had no intention of negotiating with the planet's regime from beginning to end, and left after just stopping by before the Six Nations could take action.

Aquamarine Star encountered such a large spaceship visit, and the Six Nations were worried and hurriedly inquired about the specific situation.

When they found out the truth, that the Short Corner Star had landed just to pick up Han Xiao, the Six Nations' bewilderment turned into horror!

A mysterious giant spaceship that surpassed the civilization level of Aquamarine Star by countless years was actually here for Black Phantom?

How did he do it?! What secrets is he still hiding?!

Even if they knew that Black Phantom was very powerful, such behavior was too shocking! It had exceeded everyone's imagination!

This time, Rylan was completely dumbfounded and never expected this! The target of their threat had jumped out of the pond and wasn't playing with them anymore. No wonder Han Xiao ignored the threats. Their hostility was completely insignificant!
