"Right, can I send the recording of the battle earlier to Wei Xingzhou and Xiao Cui Cui?" Lu Wanqing suddenly asked again.
She explained, "This Phoenix was designed by me specifically for Xiao Cui Cui, but the Phoenix's combat methods are a bit special, I think..."
Lu Wanqing paused, then continued, "I want them to see the video, maybe they'll understand the Phoenix's usage methods better in the future."
"Of course, you can," Mu Sijie said with a smile.
"But it's best to only show the video to them for now and not spread it out," Mu Sijie reminded.
"Aren't you still designing a mech for Yu Shu? Once Yu Shu's mech is also designed, we'll officially hold a press conference to unveil these four small mechs and simultaneously announce to the public that the Mu family has decided to launch these four series of mechs across the entire federation," Mu Sijie explained.
Lu Wanqing immediately understood and nodded, "Okay."
However, it wasn't four mechs, but five, Lu Wanqing thought silently in her heart. Each cub had their own small mech, and the pirate cub couldn't be an exception.
Lu Wanqing thought, but didn't voice her thoughts. After all, the pirate cub's identity was special, and it was best for her not to mention anything related to that child to others for now.
Everything was resolved, and it was getting late. Lu Wanqing lowered her eyes to look at Xiao Zhong Liyi and Xiao Mu Lan beside her, and couldn't help but say, "It's almost noon, isn't it? Why don't we go have lunch together?"
Mu Sijie also checked the time and then nodded, "Alright."
Lu Wanqing opened her optical computer and sent the video of Zhong Li Feiyu fighting three mechs, along with the three small mechs, to Wei Xingzhou. At the same time, she mentioned her plan to give the little Phoenix to Cui Cui and asked when it would be convenient for him, as she wanted to give the Phoenix to Xiao Cui Cui personally.
After sending the message, there was no response from the other side. Lu Wanqing figured Wei Xingzhou must be busy and hadn't seen the message. After a moment's thought, she put down her optical computer and looked up at Mu Sijie, taking the two children to eat.
This was the first time Lu Wanqing had taken Xiao Yi out, and she was very happy.
Her father had left, so Xiao Zhong Liyi felt a bit reserved, but with his mother here, he was quite happy.
Mu Sijie was very considerate; he had already booked the entire restaurant. They just needed to order when they arrived.
Lu Wanqing handed the menus to Xiao Mu Lan and Xiao Zhong Liyi, letting the two children order first.
Xiao Mu Lan was more cheerful. Upon receiving the menu, he began pointing at the dishes and talking to Lu Wanqing, knowing which dishes were good and which were not. It was evident that Xiao Lan Lan must have dined out frequently.
Xiao Yi, on the other hand, was more hesitant. He looked at the menu for a long time without being able to decide what to eat. Lu Wanqing, having looked after the child for a while, had a rough idea of his taste. After asking for his opinion, she guided him to order boiled fish and a spicy dish.
Lu Wanqing enjoyed this meal very much, but after eating their fill, it was time to go home.
Lu Wanqing was a little reluctant to part with Xiao Lan Lan, but it was noon, and both Xiao Mu Lan and Xiao Zhong Liyi should go home, have a good nap, and get some proper rest.
After leaving the restaurant, Lu Wanqing said goodbye to Mu Sijie and Xiao Mu Lan, then took Xiao Zhong Liyi and got into her own hovercar.
The hovercar was in automatic driving mode. After the car started, Lu Wanqing inexplicably felt a sense of relief. She couldn't help but look back through the car window at Mu Sijie and Xiao Mu Lan who were still standing in place, her heart softening.
A moment later, Lu Wanqing turned to look at Xiao Zhong Liyi beside her. The little boy was still clutching the spatial button she had just given him.
Lu Wanqing thought for a moment, then reached out and ruffled the top of the little boy's head.
After a morning of activity, Lu Wanqing was also a bit tired. She comforted the child for a while, then sat in the car and quieted down.
However, Lu Wanqing didn't expect that during this short trip home, which she had traveled back and forth on for over a month without incident, the hovercar would suddenly lose control.
The moment the hovercar lost control and shot forward, Lu Wanqing instinctively turned, hugged Xiao Yi tightly, and shielded him firmly beneath her.
The violent impact made Lu Wanqing lose her balance. She held Xiao Zhong Liyi and protected the child with her body, but her own body was violently thrown against something else.
The hovercar plunged into the traffic, was suddenly hit by a hovercar behind it, their hovercar deformed, and then the entire hovercar flew into the air.
Lu Wanqing's face turned pale, and she held the child tightly.
The moment the hovercar crashed heavily, Lu Wanqing also slammed down. Her head hit something hard, and Lu Wanqing felt a sharp pain, and then... her consciousness blurred.
"Mommy!"
"Mommy!!!"
Lu Wanqing seemed to hear Xiao Zhong Liyi's anxious cries. She instinctively wanted to raise her hand to comfort Xiao Yi in her arms, telling him not to move, that it was dangerous, but it really hurt so much, she felt like she had suddenly lost all strength.
Lu Wanqing's eyes closed, and the last trace of clear consciousness in her brain vanished.
Blood!
A lot of blood flowed out from under Lu Wanqing.
Xiao Zhong Liyi seemed to realize something. He quickly took a blood-generating medicine from his small bag. His hands were trembling, but he managed to put the medicine into his mommy's mouth.
Lu Wanqing seemed not to have completely lost consciousness. Her throat instinctively swallowed, taking the medicine down.
Such a serious accident seemed to have caused panic among the people outside. Soon, someone called the police, and paramedics arrived.
It had to be said that the efficiency in the interstellar era was very high. They were quickly rescued, and the ambulance rushed towards the hospital.
Xiao Zhong Liyi was also being examined by doctors, but after a thorough check, everyone found that Lu Wanqing had protected Xiao Zhong Liyi very well. In such a serious car accident, Lu Wanqing had bled so much and might be gone, but the child only had minor abrasions and was almost unharmed.
The doctor asked Xiao Zhong Liyi to go to the medical pod, but Xiao Zhong Liyi refused. He stayed by the door of Lu Wanqing's medical pod, his face pale, motionless.
Mu Sijie rushed over after receiving the news and saw this scene. He was anxious and hurried to ask the doctor, "Doctor, how is Wanqing?"
The doctor looked at Mu Sijie, his face also filled with worry, his expression very grave, "The patient is severely injured, I'm afraid..."
How could this be?
Impossible!
Mu Sijie shook his head in disbelief. How could Lu Wanqing die?
And the hovercar, hovercars in the interstellar era were already very safe, accidents rarely happened, why did Lu Wanqing's hovercar have an accident?
Mu Sijie thought, and quickly opened his optical computer, ordering someone to investigate!
It must be thoroughly investigated, what exactly happened in this accident!
"Mommy won't be in trouble!"
"I've already given Mommy the blood-generating medicine, she won't be in trouble!"
Just as Mu Sijie was having the accident investigated, Xiao Zhong Liyi beside him finally spoke. He kept muttering, walked over, pulled on Mu Sijie's corner of his clothes, and said anxiously, "Uncle Mu, Mommy won't be in trouble. I've given her medicine, just like the medicine Lan Lan gave Mommy back then, Mommy won't be in trouble!"
