Chapter 349: A tivating the Life Support Pod

Everyone felt doubtful upon hearing Wind Spirit's words. True, the pile of lion-faced corpses was quite odd. Where did they come from?

"Baron, let's open the door for another room. We'll take a look around," I said.

Soon, the room to the right was opened. The scene in the room was as astonishing as the other room, but it also provided us with some answers. There were even more tanks in this room. All the tanks were working, with some of them already opened. It was clear that the lion-faced creatures in the opened tanks had left. The unopened tanks still contained one lion-faced creature each.

We could clearly see that the lion-faced creatures in this room were much more developed than the ones in the other room. From their physical shape, their organs, and the stage of their growth, they seemed to be finished products.

"Canyue, these beasts are too scary. It feels like they're going to wake up at any time," said Wind Spirit softly.

"These are all finished goods, and they can wake up at any time. Don't touch anything here. We don't want to wake them up accidentally," reminded Baron Sisse after he entered the room.

"I reckon that the lion-faced creatures originally in these opened tanks are the same ones that had made up the pile that had died atop the life support pod," said Old Du.

"That's possible. The corpses in the pile are not in any armor and look like they were fresh out of the tanks," agreed Baron Sisse.

"That's odd. If those were from the tanks, how about the armored creature at the door?" I asked.

"I think we should stop guessing. Let's just wake that guy up and ask him," said Zhang Bao'er.

That made a lot of sense. Zhang Bao'er's suggestion was the most straightforward and effective method. Thus, we all returned to the other room with the tanks. After studying the tube system, Baron Sisse contacted Wuzhou who was on Spacetime. Under the guidance of the super engineer Wuzhou, he was able to quickly reconnect the tubes to the tube connected to the pod. Shortly after, an abundant amount of red liquid started coursing into the life support pod.

With the energy source dealt with, we returned to the room housing the pod. The red liquid was rapidly flowing into the pod. After receiving enough energy, the red alarm stopped flickering.

Baron Sisse started observing the data indicated on the screen atop the pod. About five minutes later, the baron informed us that the pod had returned to normal operation. It was filled with energy and ready for the awakening process.

We all felt our adrenaline pumping when we heard that. This felt similar to when we had awakened Plum. Once again, we were going to awaken a slumbering historical figure. The sense of nervousness and excitement from doing something like this was unlike anything we could feel from any other activity.

"Commander, everything is ready. Permission to start the awakening?" asked Baron Sisse.

"Permission granted. Everyone else, ready for combat," I said.

After everyone raised their guns and turned on their shields, Baron Sisse pushed down the button to activate the pod. Some grinding sound rang out as the light on the pod turned green. The liquid inside the pod started flowing rapidly while all the numbers on the screen of the pod started changing. After about five minutes, a burst of steam was released from the pod as the cover slid open.

Our heartbeats intensified as we focused on the figure with its back to us. This awakening seemed to have gone much smoother than we had imagined. In less than one minute, I saw the hands of the individual twitch slightly. As the liquid in the pod continued swirling, the body turned around.

Even with a helmet on, we could see an exceptionally delicate feminine face. In fact, it was as though we were looking at a meticulously carved face that was flawless. And from the face of this individual, we were sure that she was a Blueling.

Zhang Bao'er and I were both Bluelings, but this was our very first time looking at a face so beautiful. Both of us were stunned. While everyone was occupied with staring at the beautiful face, the eyes on the flawless face in question opened. Her hands moved to the edge of the pod and pulled herself upright before she leveled her gaze at us.

For some reason, all of us seemed to have been stunned by the grace radiating from her beautiful face. Just like that, we all stood there without uttering a single word. A minute later, the woman took off her helmet, allowing her long, black hair to cascade down her shoulders. She had been immersed in the pod for over 20 years, and drops of nutritional fluid were dripping from her hair. However, her healthy long hair still perfectly accentuated her beauty.

"Who are you? What year is it?" Suddenly, the woman opened her mouth and broke the silence. Her voice was incredibly pleasant to our ears.

"It's the year 2091. I'm Zhang Bao'er. Pleased to meet you." Zhang Bao'er was the first to step forth and introduce himself.

"Oh? It's 2091 already? Time really flies. My surname is Li, and my name is Yizhi. The two of you look like Bluelings," said the woman. The word Blueling she uttered caused much excitement among the group.

"Yes. We came from Blue. I'm surnamed Li as well. My name is Canyue. Senior, you must be a Blueling too?" I asked, following up on the conversation started by Li Yizhi herself.

"Like you, I came from Blue. I'm happy to meet you," replied Li Yizhi with a gentle voice.

At that time, Baron Sisse displayed the qualities of a gentleman. He stepped forth and helped Li Yizhi, who was still dripping wet, out of the pod.

"Canyue, give her some time to rest. Senior, do you want to drink something?" asked Old Du.

"Thank you, but no. I'll be fine after taking a short time to readjust myself," declined Li Yizhi politely.

The woman sat down on the floor and started moving her limbs, head, and joints. She then shut her eyes and sank into thought. When she opened her eyes again, the look in her eyes seemed to have changed entirely.

"Thank you for awakening me. Who are you? Where am I?" asked Li Yizhi after she recovered.

"We're from the 7th Armored Division of the Interstellar League's B Army. Zhang Bao'er and I are Bluelings. Old Du is a Gliesen. The baron is an Akko. Dondon and Wind Spirit are Storms," I introduced.

"Gliesen? Blue is working with Gliesens now? Is the Interstellar League a new organization?" asked Li Yizhi in astonishment.

"The Interstellar League was formed by Bluelings and the Gliesens of Gliese 581b. We are currently located on an artificial planet called Cloudcast in the Betelgeuse System of the Orion Constellation. This ship is called Lightning," I answered what I knew.

Suddenly, Li Yizhi looked up and asked, "Was Blue defeated in a war?" 

"About that, well, both sides ultimately agreed to peace and formed a coalition government," I answered, trying to preserve a tiny bit of dignity for Blue.

"Oh? That's actually a decent ending. How did you find this place?" asked Li Yizhi. She seemed to have even more questions than us due to her recent awakening.

"It's a long story. May I know your reason to be hibernating here, senior? What's the deal with the creatures on this ship? We need to leave first after confirming this. As for the changes over the past 20 years, we can provide the relevant information to you, senior," I said.

At my words, Li Yizhi sank into silence, looking like she was immersed in her past memories.

"Those beasts had broken free of the growth rooms. It would be disastrous to allow them to land on any planet. Thus, I altered my mission at the last moment into a mission of containment and destruction for these lion-faced beasts," replied Li Yizhi. From her words, it was clear it was a complicated story.

"Senior, how did you arrive here from Blue? Our technology wasn't at a level where we could go this far 20 years ago," said Zhang Bao'er.

"I left Blue to look for a way to defeat the Gliesens. A Gliesen had provided me with the ship," said Li Yizhi.

"A Gliesen had provided a Blueling with a spaceship during the war to look for a way to defeat their own race? What's the name of that Gliesen?" asked Old Du in disbelief.

"Apologies, but I don't know the name of that Gliesen. Upon boarding the ship, I found that the instructions on the ship were the same as the instructions I had been given. Thus, I started carrying out the mission," said Li Yizhi, disappointing Old Du with her answer.

"Senior, do you still remember the number of the military unit you were in or perhaps the address of your unit?" I asked.

"I don't remember that. The earliest memory I remember is my meeting with the Gliesen," said Li Yizhi honestly.

"Canyue, I reckon this beauty is probably suffering from either amnesia or brainwashing, with the culprit behind the brainwashing being the person who had wiped all her past memories. That way, she would be able to better focus on her mission," said Zhang Bao'er.

"I agree. I had thought that there were holes in her memories due to her recent awakening, but she is too straightforward. There must be a reason for her to be a Blueling without remembering her past from Blue," I said.

"Senior, do you remember your mission?" asked Old Du.
