The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers-Chapter 1077: Urgent!

Ji You’s pupils suddenly contracted, and her whole body nearly collapsed. She tightly held onto the Little Golden Dragon’s body, attempting to maintain a thread of calm.

"Calm down."

"I must calm down." Ji You covered her chest, forcing herself to release the grip on the Little Golden Dragon. Then, she gently placed the Little Golden Dragon on the tea table inside the Floating Car, and immediately called Teacher Mu Jianling.

"Teacher..." Ji You took a deep breath...

Mu Jianling coldly said, "Speak."

Ji You pursed her lips and said, "There’s a problem with the Little Golden Dragon." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Before she even finished speaking, Ji You clearly saw a flash of urgency in Mu Jianling’s indifferent eyes, which quickly disappeared. If Ji You hadn’t been closely observing her eyes, she wouldn’t have been able to catch it.

Mu Jianling asked, "Where?"

At this moment, the palm-sized Little Golden Dragon on the tea table was motionless, silent, and devoid of consciousness... Its skin continuously cracked, initially just a small patch locally, but soon developed into widespread cracking over the entire body. Not only that, beneath each inch of cracked skin, gruesome flesh was exposed, looking incredibly horrifying. But this wasn’t the most distressing part for Ji You.

The most distressing is that the temperature of the skin surface of the Little Golden Dragon kept rising, reaching the point where touching it would burn her hand. The flesh inside started to smoke, sizzling as if it were grilling meat on an iron plate.

A strange burnt aroma hit her...

Layer by layer...

The changes on the Little Golden Dragon’s body were rapidly accelerating; at this heat, Ji You feared it would turn into a pile of ashes within seconds.

Ji You tried hard to keep her voice calm, saying, "Teacher, I’m in the hallway between buildings 6 and 7, I’ve adjusted the position, ready to head to you, are you currently at?"

Mu Jianling shouted, "Don’t move!"

Ji You was startled, asking, "Huh?"

Mu Jianling’s expression was extremely cold, like ice, saying, "Don’t move, I’ll be there in 3 seconds."

Ji You: "Eh?"

"3 seconds?"

"Are you sure?"

But!

Before Ji You’s mouth could close, the next second—

Boom——

A loud noise in the sky, like startling thunder, exploded over the heads of all students in buildings 6 and 7. Everyone was simultaneously startled, thinking a battle had broken out, regardless of whether they were from the Combat Department, they all picked up their weapons at once.

However, before they could unite to prepare, they saw a streamlined silver-white mecha descending from the sky, landing in the passage between the two buildings.

Everyone: "Wow!"

"Cool!"

"Is this real mecha operation?"

"Awesome!"

"So, the thunder earlier was caused by the friction between the mecha’s extreme speed and air resistance? No... that’s impossible, how could anyone push speed to such extremes?"

"The fact is that person pushed the mecha’s speed to an extreme!"

"Oh... my God!"

...

Ji You had no interest in listening to the discussions around her, nor did she want to admire such magnificence, because, as soon as Teacher Mu Jianling arrived, before Ji You could even say a word, she suddenly felt the Floating Car she was in being lifted off the ground.

Lifted... lifted up?

Ji You was shocked, then noticed that the small Floating Car she was riding in had already been caught by Teacher Mu’s mecha, and with a leap, it soared into the sky.

As the mecha flew towards Laboratory 10, a mechanical arm suddenly stretched in from the car window. Ji You knew it was Teacher Mu Jianling, so she didn’t dare to stop it and let the mechanical arm capture the Little Golden Dragon and take it away.

Very quickly.

The mechanical arm retracted, and the Little Golden Dragon was crammed into Teacher Mu Jianling’s cockpit.

Ji You watched all of this, unable to release her clenched heart, she hurriedly asked, "Teacher... what’s happening to the Little Golden Dragon? Has it happened often before, or is it a random incident?"

Mu Jianling remained silent, her eyes focused as she operated the mecha.

Very quickly.

The mecha stopped on the open-air balcony of Laboratory 10, Mu Jianling swiftly carried the now charred Little Golden Dragon into the mechanical manufacturing room, completely ignoring her own mecha and Ji You.

Ji You jumped off the mecha and followed her in.

Bam!

Just as Ji You lifted her foot, wanting to step into the laboratory, the door closed promptly.

Ji You furrowed her brows.

There was no doubt that Teacher Mu was treating the Little Golden Dragon, but why was she stopping herself from entering?

Entering would hinder the treatment?

Ji You frowned deeply, her mind in turmoil, unable to make sense of it all, but still, as the door was about to close, Ji You loudly said to those inside the lab, "Teacher Mu, save it!"

"Save it!"

"Save it no matter the cost!"

Inside the room, it was silent.

Ji You gripped her fists tightly, loudly saying, "I’ll spend everything I’ve got as long as it can be saved!"

Silence.

It was extremely quiet, both inside and outside the room, an anxious atmosphere permeated the air. The soundproofing was so good that even when Ji You pressed her ear tightly against the door, trying to hear some movement inside, she heard nothing.

Rustle~

Ji You’s legs and feet were weak, her head tense, her heart pounding. She had been leaning against the door, her body slowly sliding to the ground like a limp shrimp.

Thud~

Ji You landed on the floor.

She furrowed her brows tightly, completely at a loss, not knowing what’s wrong with the Little Golden Dragon, what the problem really was, and herself? What can she do? What can be done?

After thinking for a bit, just waiting around with a consistently worried heart was not Ji You’s way of doing things. So she stood up and actively contacted Dr. Luo: "Dr. Luo, my mecha has an issue, it seems quite serious..."

Ji You explained the situation in detail, then asked, "You see, what’s the situation exactly, is there something I can help with?"

After listening, Dr. Luo uncharacteristically fell silent.

Ji You noticed, and her heart grew increasingly anxious.

Dr. Luo was a gentle-looking, friendly-smiling doctor, like Director Wang, she usually wore a smile on her face daily. Ji You had never seen her expression so serious.

second.

seconds.

seconds.

...

Dr. Luo finally flashed a smile, saying, "Don’t worry, it’s just a minor issue, your Teacher Mu can fix it soon."

Ji You’s face darkened, "You call this a minor issue?"

Dr. Luo’s mouth twitched.

Ji You loudly said, "If it’s delayed by one more second, it’ll burn itself away, is that still a minor issue? Do you have a misunderstanding of what a minor issue is?"

Dr. Luo: "Ahem..."

Ji You’s eyes were stern, her tone very strong, "It’s my mecha! It’s my partner, my comrade!!! I don’t care what you all are thinking, what concerns you have, or what sneaky plans or schemes are going on behind the scenes... I just need you to tell me what the problem is and how to fix it! That’s all!!!"
