"I don't know, I just picked it randomly," Lu Wanqing said in a low voice.
"We'll know if we keep watching," Lu Wanqing added.
Little Mu Lan nodded obediently, "Mm."
Lu Wanqing couldn't help but rub the child's head. He was so cute. It was so good to have such a child.
Mother and son soon became immersed in the story, watching the movie together.
The spaceship soon started, leaving the ground and heading for space. However, unknown to those surrounded by warmth, danger was lurking in the shadows.
The danger appeared half an hour later. The spaceship suddenly malfunctioned, and the alarms blared, with broadcasts echoing loudly.
"Attention passengers, the spaceship has encountered an unexpected malfunction. There is a risk of crashing in ten minutes. Please form a queue and proceed to the exit to board the escape capsules!"
Lu Wanqing was also startled awake. She turned off the movie and looked around.
She saw that all the surrounding passengers had panicked. The spaceship had encountered an accident, and people could die. Fear was written on everyone's faces, and soon everyone moved, rushing anxiously toward the exit.
Lu Wanqing also realized the seriousness of the situation. Without thinking, she tightly grasped Little Mu Lan's hand and followed everyone toward the exit.
It was very dangerous now, but all she could do was follow the crowd. It seemed that there were emergency escape measures for spaceship accidents, so it should be fine.
Lu Wanqing's heart pounded as if it would leap out of her throat. She desperately reassured herself, It's fine, it'll be fine. There's so much advanced technology in the interstellar era. Perhaps they already have perfect contingency plans.
"Mommy!" Little Mu Lan had clearly never experienced such a scene. He was being squeezed by the crowd and couldn't help but call out to his mommy.
Hearing her child's voice, Lu Wanqing's heart skipped a beat. Little Mu Lan was only four years old, small and short. In such a situation, he could easily be crushed by others. If a stampede occurred, he would be the most likely to be harmed.
She looked back in panic, quickly knelt down, and picked up the child.
Little Mu Lan was four years old, and Lu Wanqing found it somewhat difficult to hold him. However, the current situation allowed her no time to think. There were too many people, and everyone was panicking, rushing toward the exit regardless of anything else. She couldn't push through these desperate people alone; all she could do was hold her child tight.
However, Lu Wanqing was, after all, just a frail woman, and it became even more difficult after she picked up the child.
Fortunately, the escape time seemed sufficient. Many people soon left, and the spaceship became emptier.
Lu Wanqing, holding her child, finally managed to squeeze to the cabin door. She finally saw two crew members standing at the door, distributing space capsules to the passengers rushing out. To be precise, they looked like small flying vehicles.
Lu Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief. With this, they should be safe, right?
"Don't be scared, we'll be fine," Lu Wanqing thought, looking down to comfort Little Mu Lan in her arms.
Mu Lan was actually very scared. He hugged his mommy tightly. Only when he heard his mommy's comforting words did he feel a little better. He nodded, "Mm!"
The people in front finally left, and Lu Wanqing carried her child over.
The crew members gave them two space capsules.
"I don't want to be separated from Mommy, I want to be with Mommy!" Little Mu Lan suddenly hugged Lu Wanqing even tighter, very, very tightly. He was very scared of being separated from his mommy.
Lu Wanqing felt her child's fear, and her heart instantly jumped into her throat. She asked almost instinctively, "Can this capsule... fit two people?"
If it could fit two people, she would take Little Mu Lan with her. She couldn't be separated from her child unless absolutely necessary. If something happened, what would happen to the child, who was still so young?
Lu Wanqing's heart was filled with anxiety as she thought this. She held her child tightly. She couldn't abandon Little Mu Lan.
The crew member asked unhappily, "There are no more two-person..."
"There's one more!" Before the crew member could finish speaking, someone called out from behind.
Lu Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief and quickly looked up at the crew member who had called out from the back of the crowd, full of gratitude.
The crew member also looked at Lu Wanqing, nodded at her, and said, "Wait for me for a moment, I'll go get it!"
Lu Wanqing quickly nodded, "Okay, okay, thank you!"
The person left quickly. Lu Wanqing's heart pounded, hoping that the person would come back quickly so that she and Little Mu Lan could leave soon.
"Move aside a bit. You're not leaving so soon, so don't block others." In the moment Lu Wanqing was lost in thought, an impatient passenger behind her cursed.
Lu Wanqing quickly moved aside, holding her child. She was nervous and looked in the direction the crew member had left, praying: Come back quickly, come back quickly, you must come back quickly!
The person returned quickly. He walked to the door, opened the two-person capsule, and then turned to Lu Wanqing and said, "You two go in."
Lu Wanqing quickly took her child up and thanked the man, "Thank you!"
The man nodded at her and then said, "Hurry up and go."
The space capsule quickly closed automatically. It floated in space like a small spaceship. Through the transparent glass of the space capsule, Lu Wanqing could see the huge spaceship in the distance getting farther and farther away.
"Mommy, don't be afraid. As long as we stay inside the space capsule, someone will come to rescue us soon," Little Mu Lan seemed to understand something and comforted Lu Wanqing.
Lu Wanqing was stunned for a moment, then hugged her child and nodded, "Mm, Mommy isn't afraid."
To say she wasn't afraid was a lie. Lu Wanqing was very uneasy now, but the thought that this small spaceship might work gave her some peace of mind.
"Should we notify your father?" Lu Wanqing suddenly remembered and quickly said.
Little Mu Lan was stunned for a moment, then looked blank.
Lu Wanqing opened her optical computer, intending to contact Mu Sijie, but the moment she opened it, she was shocked to find that the optical computer had no signal.
How could the optical computer have no signal?
Lu Wanqing's heart began to feel uneasy again.
"What's wrong? Mommy?" Little Mu Lan noticed Lu Wanqing's worry and asked curiously.
Lu Wanqing looked down at her child, thought for a moment, and shook her head slightly, "It's nothing, it's just that the optical computer has no signal."
Little Mu Lan was also stunned when he heard this, then nodded.
The little fellow seemed to sense his mommy's fear. He hugged his mommy tighter and comforted her, "Daddy will find us soon, don't be scared."
"Mm, Mommy isn't afraid, Lanlan isn't afraid either." Lu Wanqing felt extremely warm as she listened to her child comforting her. At the same time, she regretted bringing her child out. If she hadn't brought the child, perhaps Lanlan wouldn't have had to suffer danger with her.
At this moment, Lu Wanqing deeply regretted it. She should have listened to Wei Xingzhou and not brought the child.
