At the spaceport of Planet Le, the dilapidated and ancient Heavenly Fate No.1 Giant Ring Spaceship was quietly parked on the tarmac. The steel plate connecting the cabin to the lift was still not retracted. Liao Zhang stood beside the steel plate and stretched his neck to look into the dark space. He did not know how many times he had looked, but the people he was waiting for still had not arrived.
This was the last round of guests that the Heavenly Fate Spaceship was going to receive. Only when this group of people arrived could the spaceship take off to Cypress Ancient Planet. This notice was not issued by someone else, but by the leader of the Dragon Slaying Warrior Corps, Meng Yan.
On the route from Planet Le to Cypress Ancient Planet, no one could give any orders. Only the leaders of the Dragon Slaying, Surprise Assault, and Green Arrow families had the qualifications. In the outer space of the Federation, the Dragon Slaying Warrior Corps was the largest, and their leader, Meng Yan, was an existence that countless galactic pirates and traders looked up to.
Liao Zhang mixed in with this route and knew that he would rather offend the government than offend Sister Yan, and besides, the government could not control this place.
After looking around for a long time, a brand-new Blazing Shark Spaceship with two flashing lights slowly landed at the spaceport. Liao Zhang suddenly became alert, "They're here!"
The connecting cabin of the spaceship opened, and a group of people walked down slowly. Liao Zhang also knew these four people, they were Meng Yan, Wild Wolf, Four Eyes, and Hairy.
Liao Zhang quickly greeted them, "Oh, long time no see. What rare guests, Boss Meng, Lord Wolf, Brother Eye, Boss Hairy!"
Meng Yan, Four Eyes, and Hairy were the real deal, but Wild Wolf was obviously not. This was actually Ding Meng in disguise. Many years ago, Liao Zhang had also dealt with Ding Meng, so he knew what he could say and what he could not say. He still had this awareness.
Of course, he did not know how powerful the current Ding Meng was, but he still understood one thing, "Lord Wolf" was Boss Meng's guest, and was also a big shot that he could not afford to offend.
After exchanging some pleasantries, Meng Yan instructed indifferently, "Everyone is here. Let's go!"
Meng Yan knew the deeper meaning of Ding Meng's trip. The Qu Guang No.1 Project was operated by the Star Rainbow Group. At least on the surface, it seemed that the Star Rainbow Group had given the Extreme Thief Corps a considerable amount of money and asked them to vacate a large area for experiments, but in fact, this project involved too many people and was too complicated. It was impossible for only the people of the Star Rainbow Group to participate. All the big shots on the surface could directly pass through the obstacles and directly reach Cypress Planet through long-distance transmission, but some people who could not see the light in private could only go through the Heaven's Fate. At least, Ding Meng could not see the light.
The spaceship was still the same spaceship from the past, and it was as dilapidated as before. The interior of the spaceship was rusted beyond recognition, and there was a rancid smell everywhere.
"Boss Pee, you haven't been doing well these past few years," the four-eyed man said sarcastically.
"Ahem, the business is not very good. Brother Eye, please take care of me."
Liao Zhang scratched his head awkwardly. Cypress Planet's vitality was greatly damaged because of Ding Meng's ruckus. There were not many tourists coming here these past few years. Moreover, the four-eyed man was now a member of the Bingyi Group. He was no longer on the same level as Liao Zhang.
"Boss Pee, what about your original value package that attacked loneliness and resisted loneliness?
Is it still in operation? "Mao Zi blinked at the side.
Liao Zhang suddenly became spirited. "Ahaha, yes, yes, yes, a first-class environment and first-class service. I guarantee that you will be satisfied. The customer's temper is our blessing, and the customer's request is our pursuit. Boss Mao, I didn't expect you to have such a good memory. I will arrange it now."
Mao Zi and the four-eyed man looked at each other and smiled. Their faces were full of the expression "all men understand", but the next second, they turned their heads and found that Meng Yan was staring at them with a cold face. The three of them immediately stopped talking.
While they were chatting, Ding Meng's attention fell on the center of the lounge. Because there were very few guests this time, there were not many people in the lounge. Instead, a young couple sitting on the ground attracted his attention.
Both of them were very young. The boy was about thirty years old and dressed very ordinarily. He was wearing a cotton shirt and trousers. The girl was much younger, probably around twenty years old. She was dressed like a student. Her young face had a timid expression. The two of them were holding each other's arms and sitting on the ground.
Ding Meng took the initiative to walk up and said with a smile, "Hello!"
The boy was a little nervous. "Hello, what's the matter?"
"Nothing, just saying hello. Which school are you students from?" Ding Meng asked.
This time, the girl took the initiative to answer. "We are students from Starlight University!"
"Are you going to Cypress Planet for a vacation?" Ding Meng asked again.
The girl shook her head and said, "No, we are going to visit the new project of the Starlight Group."
This time, everyone was a little surprised. It was reasonable to say that an ordinary student should not know about such a big matter.
Fortunately, the boy had already taken the initiative to explain. "We are from the Energy Department. We have a mentor in the department to recommend us to collect materials for future research!"
This reason made sense. Starlight University was almost the backyard of the Starlight Group. Students with a little potential would be focused on training. It was reasonable for these two students to come to Cypress Planet.
Four-eyed and Mao Zi could not help but secretly sigh because this scene was very similar to the situation when Ding Meng first met Du Mo. However, these two students were not Du Mo because they did not have any aura fluctuations on their bodies.
"What's your name?" Ding Meng asked the girl, but his eyes were fixed on the boy's palm.
Meng Yan finally realized that something was wrong. The boy looked young, but his palm was not the palm of a young man. There was a thick layer of calluses on the edge of his palm, and it was yellow with a hint of black.
The girl replied, "My name is Jiang Churan."
Ding Meng nodded. "Okay, good luck!"
After saying that, he led everyone to the VIP area in the depths. It was not until they entered the suite prepared by Liao Zhang for Ding Meng and Meng Yan that Meng Yan hesitated and said, "Mr. Ting?"
Ding Meng waved his hand and motioned for her to be silent. Then, Meng Yan received a divine sense message from Ding Meng. "Don't speak on this ship. There are many powerful people!"
Meng Yan immediately reacted. In front of a real expert, they could sense any movement in any corner of the ship. They could only use divine sense to communicate.
"Are you suspecting those two students?" Meng Yan asked.
Ding Meng said, "I just compared it in the database. That Jiang Churan is indeed a student of Starlight University!"
Meng Yan said, "But I'm afraid that boy is not a real student, right?"
Ding Meng said, "Don't make a fuss. After we get off the ship, arrange for Four-eyes and the others to play with the extreme pirates. I will act alone!"
Meng Yan nodded and no longer asked anything. She took the initiative to leave the room. She understood Ding Meng's temper and habits. She knew that Ding Meng was not willing to say more. However, after thinking about it carefully, she felt a chill down her spine.
There was definitely something wrong with that boy. Even she could see some clues. However, the problem was that she was also a beginner interstellar martial artist. She could not sense any trace of the boy's aura. This could only mean one thing. The boy's strength was above hers. How could there be such a powerful person on this ship?
The journey did not take long, and it was rare for it to be peaceful. The Heaven's Fortune arrived at Cypress Ancient Planet smoothly.
The spaceport was still the same as before. All the buildings and facilities, including the ground, were made of gray metal. As a whole, it gave off a depressing and gloomy feeling. Because it was night all year round, the fifty-story C-shaped building became a dazzling symbol. A large crystal projector was erected at the front of the spaceport. However, it was not filled with all kinds of information. There was only a line of shining words: "Star Rainbow Group's Quguang Base welcomes you!"
Just like that, it openly announced to the outside world that this was the location of the Quguang Project.
Below the holographic screen, hundreds of small optical computers were still lit up. Ding Meng's eyes swept over them. It was actually the road sign of Quguang Launch Pad 1. After looking at it carefully, the information indicated that the Quguang Base was built on the ground. It was more than 3,200 kilometers north of the terminal. Visitors were welcome to visit.
"What does this mean?" Meng Yan was also confused. "Should we go and take a look?
There is a transport ship over there. We can rent one. "
Ding Meng's eyes flashed. "No need. You guys go do your own things. I'll look around!"
"Alright!" Meng Yan could only give up.
In fact, she did not know that Ding Meng had just seen the Quguang Base 3,000 kilometers away. With his current psychic power and divine sense, he could almost cover the entire surface of Cypress Ancient Planet.
In the northern wasteland, there was indeed an enormous hexagonal-shaped hollow building. In the open space inside, there was a transparent crystal sphere that was more than a hundred meters tall. From afar, it looked like a bright pearl. As for the periphery of the building, many tourists and mercenaries stopped to admire it. Many people were amazed by the beautiful and huge technological product of the Star Rainbow Group.
This was definitely not the real Quguang Base. Ding Meng instantly came to this conclusion because he had seen the Qujing Secret Base of the Star Rainbow Group. This was at most an enhanced version of the Qujing Base. It looked grand, but in fact, its functions were only increased by ten times. At most, it could teleport people 30 or 50 light years away. It was completely inconsistent with the legendary ultra-long distance teleportation.
Moreover, the Quguang Base 1 project was of great importance. How could it be openly exposed to the public, even if it was in the extremely remote Cypress Ancient Planet?
The purpose of the Star Rainbow Group was to make people think that they had seen the so-called Quguang Base. In fact, this was not the case. This was an illusion. The real base was not here.
Ding Meng calculated the time. There were only 70 hours left before the Quguang Base would be activated. There were less than three days left. The most important thing now was not to find the location of the base or the energy source of the base, but to find the key people.
The key people were not Jiang Qianchen, but the Transit String, Lin Kejia, and Cartel. Because the Quguang Base technology was developed by the Star Rainbow Group, only the three of them could master the core.
If they were trapped, Ding Meng had already thought of the most likely place of imprisonment. It was the seaside base of the Extreme Pirate Army. It was buried in the deepest part of the ground and surrounded by a primitive large starship. It was undoubtedly a top secret location.
