Rebirth of the Super Battleship

Chapter 783: 102,534 AD

Zhang Shengya finally opened her eyes completely. After being dead for one hundred thousand years, Zhang Shengya finally possessed life once again. After one hundred thousand years of solitude, Xiao Yu finally once again had a being of the same kind. Whether in terms of bodily structure, social culture, or psychology, a genuine peer.

“Who are you? What are you doing in my room… Dad, who is he?” Zhang Shengya spoke in a slurred voice, as if she had not fully woken up yet.

Zhang Shengya’s voice carried a slightly neutral tone, which was different from Chen Mo. But this did not ruin Zhang Shengya’s overall charm. Instead, because of this slight shift, it brought a different kind of allure to her whole person.

When he heard that voice, Xiao Yu had the urge to cry. One hundred thousand years. Over those one hundred thousand years, countless hardships, countless setbacks, conspiracies, wars. Over that long span of time, how desperately Xiao Yu had wanted to hear a voice from his homeland. Now, Xiao Yu’s wish was finally fulfilled.

Xiao Yu gently bent down. Before Zhang Shengya had fully come to her senses, he hugged Zhang Shengya’s bare upper body and said softly, “I am Xiao Yu. My kin, hello. Welcome back to this world.”

The moment Xiao Yu hugged Zhang Shengya, Zhang Shengya seemed to instantly wake up. Her eyes widened at once. With disbelief, she glanced sideways, looking at the strange man holding her, and then, after realizing she was completely naked, she suddenly let out a sharp scream.

“Ah!” Zhang Shengya screamed in terror. Her body struggled violently. Her arms desperately struck at Xiao Yu, while her long legs kicked fiercely at Xiao Yu’s phantom. Xiao Yu could only give a bitter smile and give up this embrace that he had been separated from for one hundred thousand years. He straightened up again and smiled at Zhang Shengya once more.

Zhang Shengya, however, looked like a little girl being violated by a villain. Her delicate face was filled with terror. She curled up, wrapping one arm around her chest, while her other arm flailed wildly, still shouting, “Go away! Go away, don’t come over, don’t come over! Mom, Dad, come quickly! Who is this person!”

Xiao Yu smiled bitterly to himself. He had expected Zhang Shengya to react intensely, but he had not expected it to be this intense. By rights, after enduring Technology Taihao’s series of torment methods, Zhang Shengya should no longer have had such an intense reaction to this kind of thing. But one must not forget, someone who has just woken up always has a mind that reacts half a beat slow, like how many people’s first thing after waking in the morning is to recall where they are.

“Don’t be nervous. Calm down.” Xiao Yu said with a smile. “You have many memories in your mind. Think slowly, think about what you experienced before you fell asleep…”“Look. Do I look like a bad person?” Xiao Yu said, wearing a kindly smile. “I won’t hurt you. I’m also human.”

In fact, at this moment, Xiao Yu very much wanted to say that famous line, ‘Go ahead and scream. Even if you scream your throat hoarse, no one will come to save you.’ But in order to avoid stimulating Zhang Shengya too much, Xiao Yu dismissed the idea.

This really was tens of thousands of light years away. In the entire universe, the known humans only numbered Xiao Yu and Zhang Shengya. If one counted those who were fully human, then there was only Zhang Shengya. It truly was the case that even if she screamed until the universe broke, no one would come to save her.

Perhaps sensing Xiao Yu’s goodwill, Zhang Shengya slowly quieted down, though deep fear still remained in her eyes as she looked at him. After a moment, Zhang Shengya frowned, as if remembering something. After a while longer, the confusion on Zhang Shengya’s face vanished, replaced by a heartbreaking blankness.

“I… where is this? Who are you?” Zhang Shengya asked softly, trembling.

“I am Xiao Yu.” Xiao Yu said. “This is the Ursa Major II Dwarf Galaxy. With your scientific literacy at this moment, you should know that this place is one hundred thousand light years away from the Milky Way Galaxy. Mm, you are inside the main control room of the largest ship I have built, the Earth Planet-Class warship.”

“Earth? You are… an Earthling?” Zhang Shengya fell silent for a moment and asked this question.

“Yes. I used to be an Earthling, I am an Earthling now, and I will also be an Earthling in the future. Although I have already lost my body, my spirit, my soul, will be Earth’s, and will never change.” Xiao Yu said solemnly.

“Then… what about the others?” Zhang Shengya asked, full of hope. “Also, what time is it now?”

Xiao Yu fell silent for a moment. He did not want to tell Zhang Shengya this cruel fact too early, but he realized he had no way to hide it.

“The time now… mm, 102,534 AD.” Xiao Yu said. “I left Earth in July of 2013 AD. Up to now, more than one hundred thousand years have passed.”

“What about the others? Our Earth Civilization?”

“Gone.” Xiao Yu said lightly. “All gone. Earth has been destroyed. I was the only one to escape out of seven billion humans, and I escaped Earth in a soul state. My physical body on Earth was also destroyed.”

Zhang Shengya suddenly covered her mouth with her free hand, and tears fell in big drops from her eyes.

“You should have left Earth around 1990 AD. Technology Taihao abducted you and, at some point, killed you. By chance, I obtained your body, and with the biological technology of a Level 6 peak civilization, I revived you. That is the whole process.” Xiao Yu said. He stepped forward once again, gently wiping away the tears on Zhang Shengya’s face, and said softly, “Don’t cry, don’t cry. You’re not alone, you still have me. The two of us are the only two known humans left in the universe right now. I will treat you as my younger sister, take good care of you, protect you, and never let you suffer even a little grievance again. In the future, one day, when I’m strong enough, I will restore our Earth Civilization… be good, don’t cry anymore. I’m here, I’m here.”

Xiao Yu gently embraced Zhang Shengya once again. This time Zhang Shengya did not resist. She stretched out her arms, tightly wrapped them around Xiao Yu’s neck, and began to cry loudly.

“I’m so scared, I’m so scared. Everyone was lying to me, those weird people were lying to me, the big monsters were lying to me too, they were all lying to me. I’m so scared. The universe is so dark. I can’t see sunlight, I can’t see hope, sob… Every time I dream, I dream of Mom and Dad, I dream of Earth, sob… They hit me, tortured me, lied to me, sob…”

Xiao Yu controlled his phantom to gently pat Zhang Shengya’s back and comforted her softly, “Be good, be good, don’t cry. Big brother has already taken revenge for you. Technology Taihao is already dead. The white dwarf Alien Beast was also blown to death by a nova explosion I triggered. From now on, in this universe, no one can bully you anymore. Big brother is here. No one can bully you…”

Xiao Yu’s emotions were also extremely stirred. After all, this was the first time he had contacted his kin after being separated for one hundred thousand years. But Xiao Yu still used some deliberate intent. He was intentionally emphasizing the term ‘big brother,’ because Xiao Yu knew that for a period of time in the future, the two would inevitably be in an extremely close relationship. To prevent accidents, to avoid harming Zhang Shengya’s fragile heart, Xiao Yu could only set this boundary from the very beginning.

If he had not known this was Chen Mo’s arrangement, Xiao Yu might truly have fallen in love with his only kin, but now, that had become impossible. In this situation, defining their relationship as brother and sister was beneficial to both of them.

“I’ll take a bit of advantage from you. You were already this age in the 90s, but I in the 90s was still in middle school. But I’ve been awake for one hundred thousand years, and you slept for one hundred thousand years. I’ll be your big brother, and you won’t be wronged.” Xiao Yu thought to himself.

“Be good, be good.” Zhang Shengya kept crying loudly, and Xiao Yu kept holding her and comforting her. The phantom created through projection technology had the same sense of touch as a real person, so Zhang Shengya had no idea that what she was holding was not a real person, but only an illusory shadow.

Xiao Yu understood Zhang Shengya’s situation. A young girl suddenly leaving everything she was familiar with, being abducted to an alien place, facing an unknown future and all kinds of strange instruments every day, living in constant fear, suffering all kinds of torment, living in fear, blankness, and deception. Zhang Shengya had to be exhausted. She had no one she could trust, and all those emotions had nowhere to be spoken. Now, finally meeting her kin again, feelings accumulated over a long time burst their banks all at once. In this situation, tears were the best outlet.

“I also dreamed that one day I could go back to Earth and see my mom and dad and my friends again, sob… Now Earth is gone, one hundred thousand years have passed, sob… I’ll never see them again…”

“Be good, don’t cry. I’ve already prepared a gift for you.” Xiao Yu said with a smile. He gently released his embrace, then, under Zhang Shengya’s puzzled gaze, gently waved his hand. At once, a three-dimensional holographic image appeared before them. Inside was the scene on Mars at this moment.

A stream babbled, birds sang among fragrant flowers, animals strolled leisurely across the grass, insects flew freely. The sun was bright and warm, just like on Earth. The Arrow Beasts lay lazily on the grass or flew in the sky, basking in the sunlight.

“Do you still remember these cute little fellows?” Xiao Yu said with a smile. “How about living together with them from now on?”
