Collapse Iron: My Past Life Revealed, I Was Everyone's White Moonlight

Chapter 46 Dan Heng, I really misjudged you!

The one who spoke was Himeko.

Moreover, Lu Li and the other two discovered that Dan Heng had already returned ahead of them.

Standing next to him was a silver-haired boy who looked somewhat tired and was wearing a defense department uniform.

It must be Alan, whom he went to rescue.

When Himeko saw them, she greeted them with a relieved smile.

Her gaze first swept over Lu Li and San Yueqi, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the two were alright.

Finally, Himeko's gaze fell on Hoshi, and then she seemed to notice something and became thoughtful.

This aura is...

Although I had some guesses in my mind.

But Himeko didn't make a sound, she just looked at the three of them and smiled:

"Although the last scene was so thrilling, it's good that you're back."

Upon seeing Himeko, March 7th immediately rushed over as if he had found his pillar of support and began to complain, "Himeko! If you knew, you should have come to help us sooner!"

"That last pawn was a big one with several smaller ones, like a family on a trip."

"I use arrows, it's too much trouble to fight like that."

Himeko reached out and tidied her messy hair, laughing, "Even if it's over, it's no use. My orbital cannon can wipe out a whole bunch of them in one go."

"However, when Black Tower returns and sees the space station in such a state, he'll definitely come after us."

"Besides..." Himeko raised an eyebrow at Lu Li, "Don't you still have Lu Li? I don't need to worry, do I?"

March 7th thought for a moment and said, "That seems to be true."

Xing, standing next to him, nodded seriously.

Lu Li: "..."

Can you please stop discussing other people in front of them?

Also, Himeko, you're saying all this just because you find it troublesome and don't want to do anything, right?

After playing with the others, Himeko looked at Alan and said, "Alan, I know what you're saying. You're still injured, so go and rest."

"Oh, and remember to go see Está, she's very worried about you."

Alan nodded and looked at everyone: "Thank you all. I'll go report to Station Master Estádio now. Goodbye."

After Alan left, Himeko finally turned to Hoshi, who had been standing quietly to the side.

"Hi, nice to meet you," Himeko said with a smile. "I'm Himeko, the navigator of the Starry Sky Train."

Xing nodded. "Hello, I'm Xing."

"But, the navigator?"

March 7th immediately added from the side: "In other words, the train's movements are entirely at her discretion."

Lu Li nodded in agreement: "Yes, that means he's my boss."

Himeko glanced at Lu Li with a hint of helplessness.

This guy never forgets to emphasize his working-class identity.

But jokes aside.

Himeko turned her gaze back to Lu Li, her expression becoming much more serious.

"Lu Li, I really have to thank you this time."

Himeko's tone was very serious, and there was no hint of joking in it.

"Without you here, I'm afraid Xiao Sanyue and the others might not have been able to come back safely."

Upon hearing this, March 7th and Xing immediately nodded in agreement, like chicks pecking at rice.

"Yeah, yeah, Lu Li is really amazing!"

Although I knew Lu Li was very strong from watching him spar with Dan Heng, he performed even better in actual combat.

Although Xing didn't speak, her eyes were full of approval as she looked at Lu Li.

After all... well.

Along the way, she witnessed firsthand what "basic logistical skills" really mean.

Being praised so solemnly by three people, especially Himeko, made Lu Li feel extremely uncomfortable.

As a salted fish who feels uncomfortable if he's not constantly being criticized, he's actually the least comfortable dealing with this kind of situation.

and so……

"Ahem, since that's the case."

Lu Li coughed twice: "Then after this matter is over, give me a few more days of paid leave."

Himeko was both amused and exasperated by Lu Li's train of thought, and shook her head helplessly: "You..."

Is there anything else in this guy's mind besides retirement, slacking off, and taking a vacation?

However, she did not refuse, which can be considered as tacit agreement.

Himeko then looked at Hoshi again and continued the previous topic: "Danheng has already told me about your matter."

"Anyway, Lu Li goes without saying, but Xiao Sanyue didn't cause you any trouble, did she?"

Upon hearing this, March 7th immediately put her hands on her hips and looked at Xing: "Xing, think carefully before you answer!"

Hoshino glanced at March 7th, who looked "threatening," and then at Himeko, who was all smiles.

After a brief moment of thought, Xing replied seriously, "Then I'll give up answering."

"Pfft—" Lu Li couldn't help but burst out laughing.

March 7th immediately looked over, puffed up with anger.

Lu Li coughed twice and said in a serious tone, "Sorry, I just suddenly remembered something happy."

March 7th: "..."

On March 7th, Xing looked at Xing again, and Xing tilted her head: "?"

March 7th immediately deflated, looking speechless: "It feels like two Dan Hengs suddenly appeared in the team..."

Dan Heng, who had been silent until now, spoke calmly: "You talk your thing, don't drag me into it."

"If you really need to drag someone along... go find Lu Li, he'd definitely be happy to."

After her initial excitement subsided, Lu Li, who was preparing to make herself as inconspicuous as possible and start watching the drama unfold, thought: "???"

No, from which eye did you see that I was willing?

You, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, how come I never noticed before that you could shift the blame for trouble?

If you don't want to be bothered by March 7th, then you're just leaving it to me, right?

I really misjudged you!

Seeing the group chatting and laughing together, Himeko's smile deepened.

"Haha, young people get along so easily. It seems you're already quite familiar with each other."

She clapped her hands, drawing everyone's attention back.

"But let's stop playing around here; business comes first."

"Let's go, Estella is worried about you. Let's hurry over there."

Himeko turned around and led everyone toward the bridge.

Lu Li, who was at the back of the group, stared at the back of Dan Heng's head and gritted his teeth inwardly.

This guy definitely did it on purpose.

He remembered this grudge!

Ok.

I'll have to find a chance to stuff something weird into his database later.

……

The group followed Himeko to the bridge of the space station.

But as they approached the bridge of the space station, they heard Estella's anxious yet composed commands.

"The telemetry signal frequency is too high and must be maintained at the average level!"

"According to predictions, the Legion is about to launch more than ten waves of continuous attacks. Hold on, everyone!"

The researchers, dressed in white lab coats, were working diligently at their respective posts, with various data streams and alarms flashing continuously on the holographic screens.

The atmosphere on the bridge was extremely tense.

Himeko stepped forward: "Estella, we're back."

Estella, who was giving instructions, turned around when she heard the sound.

Seeing that they were all safe and sound, a hint of relaxation finally appeared on his tense face.

"It's good that you're back safe and sound."

"Alan just came by. He told me about the containment module and his injuries. Thanks to your help."

"It's nothing." Himeko cut straight to the point: "How's the situation?"

Estelle's expression turned serious again: "It's barely under control."

"The damage to the security system was minor; the intruders only rewrote a few core data points, so it was relatively easy to repair."

"but……"

Estelle sighed, her gaze sweeping worriedly over the researchers below who looked terrified. "The potential risk lies with the staff."

"They trusted Lady Black Tower completely and never imagined the space station would be breached by the Legion."

"Therefore, compared to physical injuries, mental panic is more terrifying."
