The commander's office was still the same as it was ten years ago. The furnishings and decorations had not changed at all. Other than the necessary table, chairs, and coffee table, there was nothing else. It was extremely simple.
However, with Ding Meng's return, the coffee table was still filled with sweets and pastries. There were even a few bottles of wine. It was obvious that the situation in the Green Arrow base had improved greatly over the years.
After listening to Yu Liang's brief explanation, Ding Meng learned that Yu Liang was now the deputy commander of planet KV303 and was in charge of the operations here. Xiao Wei did not return with Xueyan and the others. He stayed behind for Ah Qiao and formed a new family with her to be in charge of transportation. The four-eyed Russian had been staying here all these years.
"What about Commander Fang?
What about Commander Gu? "Ding Meng was very curious about their whereabouts." And what about the captain? "
Yu Liang knew that he would ask about these people, and his face immediately darkened.
"What's wrong?" Ding Meng immediately had a bad feeling.
Yu Liang sighed and said, "Commander Fang fell four years ago."
Ding Meng was shocked. "What happened?
Are you sure? "
In his memory, Fang Zhenghao was not weak either. He had already become a War Supremacy ten years ago. At least in the mercenary groups in outer space, no one could touch him, right?
Yu Liang sighed even harder. "It's true. It's said that he took on a big mission and unfortunately died in an accident. His body was personally transported back by the captain. It was confirmed that his spirit body had also disappeared. We don't know the exact reason, but there's news that it has something to do with the Starbow Group. It seems to have something to do with that celebrity."
A sexy figure immediately appeared in Ding Meng's mind. "Xu Mengqing?"
Yu Liang nodded. "Yes, it's her!"
Ding Meng was silent for a while. "What about Commander Gu and the captain?"
Yu Liang said, "Commander Gu took over Commander Fang's position. Captain Sileman is still here, still taking on bounty missions. He went out recently and went to the Norse Empire. I can't contact him for a while …"
Speaking of this, he tried to squeeze out a smile. "But once he knows that Brother Ding Meng is back, he will be so happy that he won't be able to sleep."
Ding Meng did not smile. He muttered, "If I remember correctly, the Transit String promised me ten years ago that it would build a material transfer point here. Four-Eyes, weren't you and the Russians stationed here because of this?"
The four-eyed man and the Russian immediately looked at each other. After a long time, the four-eyed man sighed and said timidly, "Brother Ding, this place was indeed prepared to be repaired. The materials were all transported in. In the end, after the news of your death in outer space came back, the Star Rainbow Group did not take any further action …"
When he saw that Ding Meng's expression was not good, the Russian felt guilty. "Ding … Brother Ding, I even asked the person in charge at that time. He said that he did not receive any orders from his superiors. Later, I went to Blue Pole Star City and looked for your old acquaintance, Miss Li Yu. Miss Li helped us ask around. She said that the headquarters did not give any orders, and the Star Rainbow Group withdrew …"
Ding Meng sighed slightly. In fact, he also understood these things. Back then, the Transit String had taken a fancy to his results and talent in the Starlight Examination, so they had offered all kinds of conditions to rope him in. In the end, he flew into a wormhole in outer space and died in theory. The Star Rainbow Group did not need to rope him in, so all kinds of conditions were naturally invalid.
After all, this was normal human society. He had always been active in outer space, where the law of the dark forest was respected. It was normal that he did not come into contact with these things.
Of course, he could understand the Star Rainbow Group's approach, but this kind of thing was not very pleasant.
Yu Liang smiled again and explained, "Brother Ding, in fact, our sub-base has always relied on our own people. Without the Star Rainbow Group, we can still support ourselves. Don't you think it's pretty good now?
At least everyone is not bullied by pirates and can live a normal life. "
Ding Meng glanced at him. "Brother Yu Liang, I've paid attention to it before. Ten years have passed, and only the four-eyed Russian's strength has improved. You guys are still stuck at the warrior level. Many of you are still beginner Origin Energy Users. This refugee camp is still a refugee camp. There has been no improvement at all …"
Yu Liang also felt guilty when he was glanced at by Ding Meng. He could only brace himself and explain, "It's all because of the two of them …"
Ding Meng's gaze fell on the four-eyed man. "You don't have to explain in front of me. The two of them can fight, but they can't manage at all. They can sell a cigarette stall and collapse. How can you expect them to run a mercenary sub-base?"
The four-eyed man smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother Ding, your eyes are still sharp."
Mao Zi sighed. "Brother Ding, in fact, during the years you were away, there were still many of your former friends who helped here. Although there weren't many supplies, it was enough for everyone to live a good life."
"Oh?" Ding Meng was curious. "Who are they?"
The four-eyed man hurriedly said, "There's a couple called Zheng Ming and Sun Shiling. Every year, they'll provide a large batch of fresh ingredients here. They've never stopped. Last month, Big Brother Zheng Ming personally delivered three transport ships."
Ding Meng was a little surprised. He remembered that he had taught Zheng Ming and Sun Shiling during the Starlight exam. He had also reunited Zheng Ming and Sun Shiling. He did not expect Zheng Ming to remember this kindness.
This Zheng Ming was not bad!
Mao Zi said, "Brother Ding, do you still remember Bogus Planet?
That Du Mo and Miss Li Jue have been helping here all these years. They have never stopped. "
He had a good relationship with Du Mo, and Li Yu had also received his favor in the Starlight Group. It was reasonable for them to come here often.
Ah Qiao suddenly counted with her fingers. "In fact, there are many people. Doctor Xue and Senior Ren often donate supplies. Miss Mengyan also passes by here as a guest. There is also a young lady who claims to be Lan Bing who has also come here a few times …"
Ding Meng was a little surprised. What was Lan Bing doing here?
What was that fierce woman planning?
However, when he heard that there were still people helping here, Ding Meng still felt a little warm in his heart. After all, they were his former friends. They had not forgotten him. Even if he had fallen, they knew that this was the place he missed when he was alive.
"There is also a young lady from Blue Pole Star City who comes here three times a year. She claims to be your girlfriend and brings a lot of supplies every time."
Ah Qiao looked very happy. Ding Meng's girlfriend had been missing him for ten years. Every year, she would visit the old place again.
However, when the four-eyed man and Mao Zi heard the words "young lady", they began to wink and grimace.
Ding Meng looked at their expressions and knew that there was something going on. He couldn't help but ask, "Four-Eyed, what are you doing?"
"Cough, cough. Brother Ding, my eyes are misty. I can't see clearly. I'll be fine after blinking twice." The four-eyed man panicked.
It was this vulgar excuse again. Ding Meng's gaze fell on Mao Zi, who immediately clutched his stomach. "My stomach hurts. I want to take medicine. Ah Qiao, can you help me get some medicine from the warehouse?"
Xiao Wei spat, "Bah, you're a War Reverend level Origin Ability user?
Are you bullying me because I'm uncultured? "
Ding Meng turned his gaze to Yu Liang. Yu Liang knew Dai Yi, and his expression was a little ugly. "Brother Ding Meng, this might not be good news for you. You should be mentally prepared."
Ding Meng was puzzled. "Did something happen to Young Lady Dai?"
Yu Liang shook his head. "Not really. As far as I know, Young Lady Dai Yi will be holding an engagement ceremony next month. The other party is the Bai family of Blue Pole Star City."
Ding Meng didn't show any expression. He simply replied, "Oh, that's a good thing."
His reaction surprised everyone, but it was normal. Ding Meng had been on the brink of death all these years. His various experiences had determined that he was relatively indifferent to the matters between men and women. If there were any women who could make an impression on him, the first would be Lan Bing. After all, they had had intimate contact before. The second would be Lu Qing. Lu Qing had been willing to give up everything to escape with him on Planet Extreme Flame, which had indeed moved him a little. Unfortunately, her whereabouts were unknown.
As for Dai Yi, Ding Meng didn't have any deep feelings for her, but he couldn't just ignore her. "The Bai family?
That Bai Bo? "
Yu Liang nodded solemnly. "Yes, that's the Bai family."
When Ding Meng was still on Planet Blue Moon, he had also heard that the Bai family was a top family in Blue Pole Star City. The Sect Master was Bai Bo, who was hundreds of years old. Not only did he have profound strength, but he also had a high reputation. He had many children and grandchildren, and most of them were successful and famous. In Blue Pole Star City, the Bai family's reputation and influence were above that of the Lang family and the Du family. Most importantly, the Bai family was not limited to Planet Blue Moon. It was also backed by the Bai family of Sacred Splendor Capital.
Ding Meng nodded. "It's normal for a man and a woman to get married. It's not bad news."
The four-eyed man couldn't sit still. "Brother Ding, but the situation is not what you think. I heard that this engagement ceremony seems to be forced. Young Lady Dai herself is not willing."
What he really wanted to say was, "Brother Ding, how can you tolerate this? If someone wants to make you a cuckold, you must kill them and cripple them."
Ding Meng looked at him again. "Is there a reason behind this?"
"I'm not very sure about that," the four-eyed man replied.
"But the engagement ceremony is indeed real. We did not receive an invitation, but Young Lady Li did. I even saw the invitation."
Ah Qiao said in a timely manner, "Ding Meng, you should hurry to the Azure Faculty and clarify this matter. Young Lady Dai is your girlfriend, and she has always been very friendly to all of us."
Her words were really effective. No matter what, at least Dai Yi had been kind to planet KV303 for the past ten years. Just based on this point, if Dai Yi was in any trouble, Ding Meng couldn't just sit by and watch.
It seemed that there were a lot of things to deal with this time. Ding Meng suddenly said, "Brother Yu Liang, can we still use the basement where we used to take refuge?"
"Yes, it's our warehouse now!" Yu Liang did not understand what he meant.
Ding Meng said, "Can you expand the basement? I'll have a use for it in the future."
Yu Liang hesitated and said, "It can be done, but it will take a long time if we rely on manpower."
Ding Meng understood what he meant. After all, Planet KV303 was a backward place. If they wanted to build large buildings, they would need to spend money. All along, Ding Meng did not have any concept of money. Now, not only was he penniless, he did not even have a wristwatch.
"I'll think of a way to get the money." Ding Meng made up his mind.
