Deep in the night sky, a bright blue dot with a long tail streaked across the horizon, slowly descending towards the ground.
The Blazing Shark spaceship finally stopped in a hexagonal plaza. Looking around, there were about fifty spaceships of the same type docked in this plaza. Ding Meng and the others looked around curiously after disembarking.
To be honest, this place was very similar to Black Gold Base. It had a vast docking port and a fifteen-story tall fortress. However, there weren't as many people in the plaza as in Black Gold Base, and the building was similar to a space station. This place was obviously the base of the Green Arrow Bounty Hunter Corps.
"It's not a base," Sileman corrected. "This is a sub-base of Planet KV303."
"This planet is called Planet KV303?" The one who asked was naturally Xing Yi. "Why do I feel a little cold?
The temperature is actually negative 16 degrees Celsius. "
Sileman said, "There's very little sunlight here. It's basically night, so the temperature can't rise."
This kind of low temperature didn't affect Origin Ability Users, but ordinary people couldn't stand it. Xing Yi looked around again and said, "No wonder there aren't many people in the plaza. So that's the case. It's really strange. Why did you guys build your base in a place like this?"
Sileman glanced at her indifferently and didn't answer.
Actually, this question was very easy to understand. Planet KV303 was located in the outer region of the Federation, nebula KV3545. It was a very remote location, not under the jurisdiction of the Federation, but within the observation range of the nearby space station. Most of the time, bounty hunters were fighting over food with interstellar pirates. If the conflict was too deep, it was inevitable that the interstellar pirates would retaliate. Since the base was built here, the interstellar pirates would have some fear. After all, the Holy Grail Federation wouldn't allow you to run amok under their eyes.
The Green Arrow Squad was actually quite famous in outer space, mainly because they were selective in the missions they accepted. Generally, they wouldn't accept missions that involved murder or arson. Dirty and ugly missions were also filtered out. Usually, they wouldn't fight with others if they could avoid conflict. They would rather suffer a small loss. They were fundamentally different from a mercenary group like Surprise Attack.
The Green Arrow Unit had a very high status among the people in outer space. This was because the Hunters of the Green Arrow Unit usually did not disturb the people in outer space. Sometimes, they would even lend a helping hand when they saw the galactic refugees. Therefore, the Federation and the Dynasty gave the Green Arrow Unit the green light and allowed them to be stationed in the outer space of the Observation Star System. Firstly, they could stabilize the galactic refugees. Secondly, they could act as a buffer because if there was a riot or an invasion, the outer space of the Observation Star System would be able to warn them in advance.
Everyone walked slowly towards the airport along the runway. The young man led the way at the front. Everyone now knew the young man's name: Yu Liang.
Along the way, there were many passersby who greeted Yu Liang and Silman. Obviously, the two of them were of high status.
There was nothing special about the airport. It was no different from an ordinary office building. There were groups of six to seven bounty hunters coming in and out. There were also spaceships taking off and landing in the plaza. To ordinary people, the bounty hunters who acted independently were actually no different from the staff on the International Space Station. Everyone was working to make a living.
Of course, the bounty hunters' jobs were much riskier. Take this mission for example. A total of nine people were sent out, but in the end, only Silman and Yu Liang returned. Therefore, at this moment, in the deputy commander's office on the eighth floor, Silman and the others sat down without saying a word. The atmosphere in the room was very gloomy.
The deputy commander, Gulaga, was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his sixties or seventies. Probably because he frowned and thought about things for a long time, the wrinkles on his forehead were very deep. However, from his face, he didn't look old.
"Sigh …" Silman let out a long sigh. His expression was full of self-blame. Gulaga actually didn't agree with him going on this mission, but he insisted on going. In the end, it ended up like this.
"Why didn't you agree?" Only Xing Yi could ask such a question.
Gulaga's expression was a little serious. "Miss, do you know about the Haitian Group?"
"This …" Xing Yi's expression was a little awkward. She was a citizen of the Norse Empire. How would she know about the Holy Grail Federation's corporation?
However, just because she didn't know about it didn't mean that Qu Xiaoqing didn't know either. Qu Xiaoqing pondered and said, "I've heard of this company. The Haitian Group is a rather famous conglomerate in the Holy Grail Federation. It's said that they're very rich and have a lot of businesses under them. They seem to be in the top fifty of the Holy Grail Federation's business rankings."
Gulaga nodded and continued. "The development rights to the K Star System of Nebula KV3023 were bought by a company called Extreme Heaven."
Qu Xiaoqing curiously asked, "What's the relationship between Extreme Heaven and Haitian Group?"
"On the surface, they don't seem to be related, but this company's business is very strange," Gulaga explained.
"The K Star System has no development value at all. They bought it for more than ten years and didn't develop any projects. Instead, they contacted refugee camps, concentration camps, transportation companies, and mercenary groups to help the Federation send a lot of low-class people there and take profits from it."
This was very difficult for the citizens of the Norse Empire to understand. The empire had always followed the principle of "humanitarian destruction". It seemed violent and unreasonable, but it was actually for the sake of these low-class people. Why?
Because the Federation's actions of sending refugees were actually to make the workers suffer. Rather than living in darkness, it was better to help them free themselves.
That was why the officer of the patrol fleet, Major Thunderous Battle, was very disdainful of companies that did this kind of business. In fact, the Green Arrow Corps also had the same idea. Sileman had accepted the mission from Extreme Heaven, which was undoubtedly related to this kind of dirty work. It would damage the reputation of the corps, and it must be known that the Green Arrow Corps cherished the reputation of the corps very much.
Ding Meng pondered and asked, "Sir, what you mean is that Extreme Heaven is actually a subsidiary of Haitian Group?"
Gulaga nodded. "On the surface, there's no direct relationship, but it's actually a relationship with the parent company. The actual helmsman of Haitian Group is the Chu Family of the Federation. This Chu Family is quite influential in the Holy Grail Federation. As far as I know, the current controller of Extreme Heaven is surnamed Chu. His name is Chu Yifeng, and he's a descendant of the Chu Family. That's all I know."
Ding Meng sighed inwardly. He finally knew the tip of the iceberg about the "colossus" behind the surprise attack mercenary group. He didn't expect the other party's background to be so big.
In this operation, just Lan Bing 'er alone was enough to make him unable to handle it. The officer on the Falcon Spaceship was even more powerful than Lan Bing' er, and this didn't even involve the Chu Family. There was actually the Haitian Group behind the scenes, and even more so, the Chu Family behind them. The enemies in front of Ding Meng were far beyond the scope of martial arts.
"Then just get rid of it." Xiao Ai suddenly appeared.
As soon as she said that, Little Rascal was dissatisfied. "Do you think that's program code?
You think you can get rid of it just like that?
That's a big corporation, a big family. Ding Meng still doesn't have the ability to fight against them. "
Xiao Ai snorted disdainfully. "So what?
We have the K-virus here, known as the Greatest King. Why would we be afraid of a corporation? "
Little Rascal said, "Do you think corporations are the same as they were a hundred years ago?
Many corporations with strong financial resources have a large number of experts. They might not be able to beat them. Xiao Ai, you've been trapped in the warship for too long. It's time for you to come into contact with the real world more. "
Xiao Ai was silent for a long time before speaking. "Is there any way for ACT5570 to enter the Federation? As long as he can enter this corporation, I'll have a way to assess his data."
Little Rascal replied lazily, "I advise you not to have such hopes. Ding Meng hasn't even gotten the identity of an Empire citizen, so don't even think about the qualifications of a Federation citizen …"
The two were still discussing when Gulaga stood up and walked in front of the silent Sileman. He let out a long sigh. "Xiao Yu, Xiao Gang, and the others' families have been notified?"
Sileman shook his head helplessly. Xiao Yu, Xiao Gang, and the others were the other seven brothers who had sacrificed themselves. They were a group of young people who had just joined the Green Arrow a few years ago. They were also personally trained by him from one mission to another. This was the most difficult thing for him.
Gulaga also seemed to be in a heavy mood. He patted Sileman's shoulder. "Being a bounty hunter has always been risky. Sacrifices are inevitable. How do you plan to tell their families?"
Sileman took out a cigarette and lit it. He exhaled a mouthful of blue smoke. "I don't plan to tell them."
Gulaga was stunned. "According to the regulations of the Corps, the brothers who have sacrificed themselves will receive compensation. If you don't inform their families, how are they going to get the money to settle down?"
Sileman stood up in annoyance. "I'll think of something myself."
Gulaga was stunned. "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to Xiao Yu's house to take a look." Sileman didn't even turn his head.
"I'm going too!" Ding Meng stood up as well.
Logically speaking, there was no need for him to participate in other people's matters. However, back then in the warship warehouse, if he hadn't used the heat to evaporate the poisonous gas in the pool, those hunters wouldn't have died from the poison. Speaking of which, he had indirectly caused the deaths of those seven people. Therefore, it was only right for him to visit their families.
Little Rascal said, "I don't think so. It's all that damned Lan Bing's fault for being too cunning. She set up such a trap and caused those Green Arrow bounty hunters to be poisoned to death."
Xiao Ai said, "I don't agree with you. If there wasn't an energy carrier, Lan Bing wouldn't have planned to steal it. Naturally, there wouldn't be a situation where people died."
Little Rascal was speechless. "Isn't it because the energy carrier carried you? If you didn't exist, there wouldn't be any of this."
Xiao Ai said, "According to your logic, if there wasn't the K virus, there wouldn't be any of this either."
Little Rascal said, "You're talking about something else. If there wasn't Dr. Harsin, then what?"
Xiao Ai was a little angry. "If there wasn't ACT5570, then what do you think?"
Little Rascal said, "What can I do?
I can only hehe … "
