In the depths of the vast space, the 'star ring' carrying the starship had already spat out two rings of brilliant white crystal flames. It was like a cannonball had been fired, whistling as it flew towards the Zoysia system.
After a long time, the stabilizer's power system shut down. The white crystal flames slowly extinguished, and the speed of the starship slowed down again.
At the same time, the entire starship slowly turned. The giant door connecting the side wing opened, and the Blazing Shark ship quickly slid in.
Inside the starship, the rescue port was like a five-story tall steel furnace. Other than the Blazing Shark that flew in, there were also three Swordfish ships docked.
Nightmare couldn't help but sigh. "The surprise attack army does have some capital. No wonder Huang Long wanted to cooperate with you."
His sigh was not without reason. The surprise attack army and Sky Wolf army were not weak as a whole. The surprise attack army had a strong transportation ability, but the individual mercenaries were very weak. Sky Wolf was strong in terms of wealth, but they were not willing to spend money on transportation. Such a large army did not even have a slightly larger starship. Otherwise, they would not have been able to escape here.
The Grand Marshal limped down from the spaceship while dragging his arm. That was not what he was concerned about. Now that he had returned to the army's starship, he was the boss, so he was curious. "Where's Ah Huanhua?
Why is no one coming out to welcome us? "
Ding Meng suddenly stopped behind him and said in a strange tone, "Don't worry, the people coming to welcome you will be here soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, a large group of mercenaries rushed out from the railing on the second floor of the maintenance floor. Each of them was armed with long guns and short cannons. They surrounded them from all directions. Looking at the way the guns were aimed, they felt that they were not coming with good intentions.
The commander was furious. "Are you crazy?
Can't you see that I'm back?
What are you doing?
If you're still holding weapons, put them all away. "
"They are not crazy."
Ding Meng suddenly calmed down. His gaze fell on the maintenance stairs on the first and second floors. "I'm just afraid that it will be your turn to be crazy next."
Following his gaze, A Hua's figure finally appeared on the stairs. However, A Hua did not rush up to greet him as he usually did. Instead, he walked down the stairs at a leisurely pace. His demeanor was like the general's usual walking posture, full of vigor and dignity.
The commander finally felt that something was wrong. He could not help but scold, "Hua, what are you doing?
Pointing a gun at me?
Are you rebelling … "
Ding Meng let out a long sigh. "You don't have to shout. He's not Hua."
"This …" Everyone was shocked.
Sure enough, Hua went down to the first floor. As he walked over, he took off the black goggles on his face and smiled. "Sorry, I almost didn't make it. Fortunately, I picked you up in time."
Dai Yi was surprised and happy. He ran over happily. "Uncle Bai!"
This person was none other than the vice commander of the Green Arrow Army, Bai Yue.
Bai Yue smiled even more happily. "Little Yi, are you okay?
I haven't heard from you for more than half a month. I'm very worried. "
Dai Yi smiled and said, "I've made Uncle Bai worry. I'm fine. Fortunately, I have Ding Meng by my side."
Ding Meng also smiled meaningfully. "Of course you're fine. Now it's our turn."
Seeing his strange smile, Dai Yi could not help but ask, "Ding Meng, what's wrong with you?"
Ding Meng sighed. "Miss Dai, don't you think it's strange?
Why did the vice commander of the Green Arrow Army board the transport ship of the surprise attack army? "
The commander's face was pale. "Bai Yue, the surprise attack army has never interfered with the Green Arrow Army. What do you mean by this?"
Facing their questions, Dai Yi was even more confused. "Ding Meng, Uncle Bai is here to pick us up. Is there a problem?"
Bai Yue was still smiling. "Little Brother Ding, I said before that the Green Arrow Army will reward you greatly after this. This time, it's all thanks to you."
Ding Meng ignored him and asked, "I have a question that I don't understand."
Bai Yue said, "What question?"
Ding Meng said, "That bottle of reagent, what's the time limit that the Dark Net gave the Green Arrow Army to retrieve it?"
Bai Yue was stunned by the question, but he still smiled and said, "Fortunately, we picked you up. If we rushed back to the Federation, I calculated that there was still enough time."
Ding Meng said, "But this doesn't explain why you appeared on this starship."
After saying this, he suddenly appeared beside Dai Yi in a flash. Without giving Dai Yi any time to react, he grabbed her waist and pulled her into his arms.
Bai Yue's expression changed. "Ding Meng, what are you doing?
Don't be rude to Miss Dai. "
"Ding Meng?"
Dai Yi was also shocked by Ding Meng's sudden action, but she did not struggle because she believed from the bottom of her heart that Ding Meng did not have any ill intentions towards her. Moreover, being hugged by Ding Meng, she could feel the Origin Energy in Ding Meng's chest was surprisingly hot. She did not dislike it.
This was a classic example of a woman finding a man pleasing to the eye, so this man could not arouse her resistance no matter what.
Ding Meng turned his head to look at her and said calmly, "Miss Dai, I'll have to trouble you again. If I didn't pull you over, the people around us would have shot us full of holes."
"What's going on?" Dai Yi also felt that something was wrong.
Ding Meng hugged her and slowly retreated to King of Nightmares and the others. Now, including himself, Dai Yi, King of Nightmares, Marshal and Yan Jie who was being supported by Four Eyes and Hairy, a total of seven people were gathered in front of the spaceship. Everyone was exposed to the surrounding mercenaries' guns.
There was almost nowhere to hide in this place. It was not that they could not hide at all, but they really could not easily start a fight now. The situation was far more complicated than they had imagined.
Ding Meng stared at Bai Yue. "Officer Bai, you don't have to lie anymore. Before we left, I asked Captain Sileman in private. The Dark Net only gave the Green Arrow Corps one month to find them. Miss Dai set off from planet KV303, and it has been 20 days since then. Now, you're telling me that there's still enough time to rush back to the Federation. Do you think that's possible?"
Bai Yue's expression darkened. "What are you trying to say?"
Ding Meng sighed. "Originally, I still believed in the Green Arrow Corps, but after I arrived at Feisheng City, I kept feeling that there were too many suspicious points about this matter."
In fact, he did not believe in the Green Arrow Corps at all. He did not believe in almost any mercenary corps.
The one he truly believed in was Sileman. He believed that such a person had given up his bright future and was willing to stay on a planet with a harsh environment and scarce resources to protect a group of refugees. Ding Meng knew that he could not be so noble, but he had always respected such a person. He believed that such a person could not be deceitful and evil. It was hard for him to refuse such a person's request, which was why he had made this trip to Feisheng City.
Bai Yue's eyes narrowed. "What's suspicious?"
Ding Meng said, "It's very simple. There are too many coincidences in this matter."
Bai Yue also stared at him. "What coincidences can there be?"
Ding Meng said, "Logically speaking, Miss Dai should not have gone to Feisheng City to negotiate with the Sky Wolf Corps. At least, the person who should have gone should not have been her, but one of her brothers. Only they can truly represent the Dai family."
Bai Yue frowned. "I don't understand what you mean."
Ding Meng said, "What I mean is very simple. It's not that Miss Dai's status is not high enough. It's just that for a young lady like Miss Dai to come to Feisheng City, first of all, she is still inexperienced. The negotiation may not go smoothly. Secondly, by coming here herself, she has unknowingly sent a bad signal to the Sky Wolf Corps, which is that the Dai family does not attach much importance to this negotiation."
Dai Yi was the eldest daughter of the fifth branch of the Dai family. It was hard to describe her status, but if she was the eldest son of the eldest branch, then the effect would be different. Even Dai Yi herself could understand this.
Bai Yue stared at him with great interest. "And then?"
Ding Meng said, "The goal of some people is very likely to break up the negotiation, or to make it impossible for the negotiation to go smoothly. Because if everything went smoothly, Miss Dai would have already returned to the Green Arrow base with the reagents. The matter would have been resolved logically, and none of these things would have happened."
Bai Yue pondered for a while and asked, "Who are the 'some people' you are talking about?"
Ding Meng said, "I don't know who they are, either, but I have a feeling that everything that happened in Feisheng City seemed to have been arranged in advance. The people behind the scenes must be some people."
It wasn't that he was a conspiracy theorist. After the Blue Ice incident, he had indeed become more vigilant in this regard. Sometimes, no matter whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, nothing was as simple as it seemed on the surface, especially when it came to surviving in outer space. Everything had a reason, and there was bound to be an outcome.
Bai Yue said, "Can I interpret it this way? Do you think that Miss Dai's trip to Feisheng City was arranged by someone behind the scenes?"
Ding Meng put on a weird smile. "I didn't believe it at first, either. But gradually, I started to believe it."
Bai Yue was curious. "Is that so?"
Ding Meng continued. "What method did the culprit use to make the Dai family send Miss Dai instead of someone else to Feisheng City?
I don't know the reason, but I do know one thing for sure. As long as Miss Dai landed in Feisheng City, she wouldn't be able to go back for a while. It's very likely that she would never be able to go back. "
Dai Yi was infuriated when he mentioned that. "Are you talking about Huang Long?"
Ding Meng said casually, "It doesn't matter whether or not Huang Long molested you that night because you were trapped in Feisheng City. The fact that you couldn't go back for the time being was the result that the culprit wanted."
Dai Yi was puzzled. "Why?"
Ding Meng said, "Think about it. If it was the commander of the Heavenly Wolf Legion who negotiated with you, the negotiation might not have collapsed that day."
Dai Yi still couldn't figure it out. "But Huang Long agreed to my request that morning and returned the reagents, didn't he?"
Ding Meng sneered. "But why did he ask the Nightmare to poison you at night?"
Dai Yi blushed a little. "Didn't he want to …"
"You're wrong. It's not like that."
Ding Meng immediately interrupted her. "I told you the other day that if things go too smoothly, it will give people the wrong feeling. The result may not be a good thing."
Dai Yi was silent for a while before she sighed. "That's true."
Ding Meng said, "Any important person in the Heavenly Wolf Legion can negotiate with you, but Huang Long can't be the one to negotiate with you. You should know the reason why."
Dai Yi naturally knew that Huang Long was so daring that he even dared to have designs on her. If Yan Fengwei and Ren Zhan were present at the time, not only would the negotiation result have been different, the incident that night would not have happened.
Dai Yi suddenly understood. "Commander Yan wasn't in Feisheng City at the time, nor was he in the Zhifan Division."
"That's right."
Ding Meng turned his head and stared at her. His expression was very serious. "The commander wasn't at home, and Huang Long was the one to negotiate with you. Is it really such a coincidence?"
