Li Shu was very confident and never thought that Su Peiyao would reject him in a few days.

When Li Shu heard Su Peiyao say the words "I refuse" without hesitation, Li Shu was completely stunned. "Ms. Su, this is not a joke!"

"I think you know the story of the lips and teeth being cold, right? If the planet Lido is gone, what are the chances that they will let you pirates go? Or do you think that you pirates have the ability to move freely in the midst of a heavily surrounded army?"

Su Peiyao's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this. He remained as impassive as ever. He snorted coldly and said in a deep voice, "Thank you for your advice, Mr. Li, but I will not change my decision."

"Even if Miss Su doesn't care about her own life, she should ask others if they care about theirs. If you keep hiding like this, you will die sooner or later. This is not in line with the choice of you pirates!"

Su Peiyao's expression instantly turned icy. She suddenly reached out and grabbed Li Shu's neck, saying coldly, "Li Shu, the most important thing for us pirates is to do whatever we want. Whatever I want to do is my own problem. It has nothing to do with you. You have no reason to control me!"

"I should tell you today that I, Su Peiyao, will never join your army and fight the Empire, so just give up on this idea!"

Having said that, Su Peiyao's grip on Li Shu's neck became tighter and tighter.

Star beasts are different from ordinary people. They have two forms. In the star beast form, they are very strong and can destroy a building or a planet at will.

The strength in human form is much weaker, but this weakness is only compared with the star beast state. Compared with ordinary people, their strength is much stronger.

Just like Li Shu's neck, they could crush it with just a light pinch!

Li Shu was strangled by Su Peiyao until he couldn't breathe. Just when he was about to use force, Su Peiyao suddenly let him go. Still looking at him with those cold eyes, she said in a deep voice, "Mr. Li, considering our previous deal, this is just a warning to you. If there is a next time, don't blame me for being rude!"

After Su Peiyao finished speaking, she turned into a little lion, turned around and disappeared from Li Shu's sight.

Li Shu wanted to chase her, but because he had just been strangled by the other party, his chest was severely lacking in oxygen. He couldn't help but cough lightly, and it took a while before he returned to normal.

Li Shu looked at the direction Su Peiyao left, couldn't help but sigh, and then turned around and left.

After returning to the office, Li Shu continued to work. Just as night was about to fall, Huo Wei suddenly came over.

Ever since the Zerg came, Li Shu hadn't had much time to spend with Huo Wei. Now, seeing him appear before him, the man's lips curled up into a faint smile, and he came forward with a smile, "Huo Wei, why are you here?"

As Huo Wei walked over, he said, "I smelled you outside my office today, so I came over to ask if there was anything wrong."

Before Li Shu could finish his words, he suddenly saw Huo Wei stride over to his side. His calm expression suddenly turned cold and he asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

"What?" Li Shu didn't react for a moment.

Hearing this, Huo Wei reached out and gently stroked Li Shu's neck, with a cold murderous intent in his eyes, "Tell me, who did this to your neck? I'll go and vent your anger for you!"

Li Shu: "..."

He looked at Huo Wei who was in a rage, and hurriedly lowered his head to comfort him, "Huo Wei, don't worry, it's okay, that person was just a little impulsive, he didn't really want to kill me!"

Although Li Shu had never fought with Su Peiyao, the men and women around Su Peiyao all respected her very much. From this, it can be seen that Su Peiyao was definitely not an ordinary woman, and at least she had the ability to intimidate the Yaoguang Star Pirates.

If such a person really wanted to kill someone, he would never give the other person a chance to escape. Therefore, Li Shu was not wrong when he said that the other party deliberately spared his life.

Of course, there is a second point. Li Shu still wants Su Peiyao's army to come and help fight. If he falls out with the other party at this time, it will be more trouble than gain!

When Huo Wei saw Li Shu was blocking his way, he suddenly became dazed and couldn't help but give him a dark look before saying, "Li Shu!"

Li Shu's body trembled, and he suddenly came back to his senses, "What's wrong?"

Huo Wei narrowed his eyes and his voice became a little dangerous, "You were in a daze just now, what were you thinking about?"

Li Shu laughed awkwardly and said, "Nothing, I just..."

Before he could finish his words, Huo Wei interrupted him without hesitation and said in a deep voice, "Li Shu, I don't like hiding the truth about my affairs, and I hate you lying to me even more!"

Li Shu: "..."

He originally wanted to be vague and get away with it, but after hearing what the other party said, Li Shu swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and asked a completely irrelevant question instead.

"Hovey, before you answer this question, can you tell me what the chances of us winning this battle against the Empire are?"

Seeing that Li Shu was asking seriously, Huo Wei didn't give a perfunctory answer, "Our chance of winning is only 0.1%!"

Li Shu was surprised, "So little?"

Howie nodded. "We have very few available men, and many of them are wounded. But the enemy, besides having healthy star beasts, also has countless combat robots. They are short of manpower and can easily deploy troops. But on our side, every death means a loss of combat power."

"If we continue like this, one day our manpower will be exhausted. At that time, it will be the victory of the Empire."

Li Shu couldn't help but feel a headache. Now they seemed to have entered a dead end. They knew that they were fighting a losing battle, but they couldn't stop. Because once they stopped, their situation would probably be worse than death!

Thinking of this, Li Shu closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "What if we add those people around Su Peiyao?"

When Huo Wei heard this, a glimmer flashed in his eyes, "So, the person who hurt you this time was Su Peiyao?"

Li Shu sighed, "I'm fine. Now we should think about how to keep everyone on the planet alive."

Huo Wei was silent for a moment before he said, "If we add the combat power of Su Peiyao to the current imperial army, we can barely suppress them and buy some chances for the people on the planet to escape!"

Hearing this, Li Shu looked up at Huo Wei again and said in a deep voice, "Huo Wei, let's cooperate with Su Peiyao and the others."
