Chapter 211 The Brave Little Boy
The Goshawk Squad left the central base secretly, even taking the non-staff member Xiaoguai with them.
The first person to express his incomprehension and strong protest was Mr. An.
"What do you want to do when you go on a mission with an eight-year-old child like Xiaoguai? What if they encounter danger? No! I don't agree!" The old man was so anxious that his hair was about to explode. Overnight, the most important person to him was replaced by his great-grandson from his grandson and granddaughter-in-law.
However, just as he finished his words, his beloved great-grandson hit him head-on, knocking him unconscious in an instant, and he couldn't recover for a long time.
"No! Great-grandpa, I want to be with dad and my father. I want to protect dad together with dad! I'm super awesome!" Xiaoguai showed off his not-at-all-developed biceps with a serious look on his face.
Ruan Xi couldn't suppress a smile, but he wanted to sigh. No matter how you calculated it, he was the one who needed protection the most. His fighting power was like a machine, a fatal flaw!
The old man was obviously shocked by his great-grandson's words. It took him a while to find his voice. He said hurriedly, "Your father is protected by your father. There's no need for a weak child like you to take risks..."
Then, the old man watched helplessly as the child, who he thought was supposed to be weak, easily broke off a corner of the alloy table next to him. He even held the broken corner in front of him and said sincerely, "Great-grandfather, I'm very strong!"
Old man: "..." Is this a question of strength? This kind of alloy table, if the battle mecha hits it with a punch, it will only deform, it won't easily break a corner!
The old man's heart was shaking like a magnitude 9 earthquake, and his impression of his great-grandson changed drastically. No one knew how the old man adjusted himself, but after two minutes, he was fine.
"Then you guys be careful and be sure to protect my good great-grandson!" The old man's words and expression were full of threats. He glared at his own grandson so fiercely that He Ziqian wanted to hold his forehead and sigh.
This fall from favor came so suddenly!
"Great-grandfather, I will also protect Dad and Father well! You must also protect yourself at home!" Now, for the old man's safety, he lives in the base, which also allows He Ziqian and Ruan Xi to feel more at ease when they go out on missions.
The Eagle Squad left the base secretly. No one knew where they went, and no one knew the exact time they left, because everyone was busy, and each one was busier than the other. Unless they were the traitors who were keeping a close eye on the movements of the Eagle Squad, basically, no one had the time to care about the movements of the Eagle Squad.
This is exactly the secret network cast by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, trying to fish out a few more traitors hiding in the base.
The members of the Goshawk Team didn't know about these things, nor did they care. The place they were about to go to was a mining planet located at the edge of the Sirius system. According to secret reports, an armed conflict had just occurred there two days ago, but in fact, this armed conflict was premeditated with the purpose of seizing this mining planet.
In the star field where this mining star is located, there are several other important strategic mineral production areas. Once lost, the weapons manufacturing and maintenance of the Silver Empire will be severely damaged.
His Royal Highness the First Prince suspected that this was a premeditated action by the enemy. The smoke of war had already begun within the Yinyu Empire. Obviously, some people did not intend to give them the opportunity to extinguish the smoke of war silently.
"Zi Qian, could it really be... General He? Grandpa would definitely be very sad if he knew about it, right?" Ruan Xi couldn't help feeling sad whenever he thought of General He. If he was sad, how sad would his grandfather, who had been close friends with Grandpa He for most of his life, be?
"If Grandpa He's betrayal is true, then everything he did must be judged."
"I know. I just feel... Grandpa He doesn't seem like the type of person who would do this. Not only has he betrayed his country and humanity, he's also betrayed his family who once gave their lives for this country. I can't quite wrap my head around it..."
Ruan Xi liked Grandpa He very much, and they even became close friends regardless of age. Whenever he found something delicious and sent a portion to his grandfather, he would always remember Grandpa He. He would be happy from the bottom of his heart when he heard him praise him intimately.
But how could such an old man who had dedicated his entire life to serving his country and his people suddenly become so desperate that he wanted to betray his country and all of humanity?
This is really unscientific!
"There's no point in thinking too much now. Forget it. We can only work hard to find the truth. Whether it's right or wrong, there will always be a day to judge."
Ruan Xi did not respond, but just buried herself in He Ziqian's arms, speechless for a long time.
Until Xiaoguai rushed in and broke the silence between the two.
"Dad, Father! I... I feel the breath of our own kind!" Xiaoguai ran very fast and was even a little out of breath. There was no panic on his little face, only surprise.
"The aliens are obviously on the alien planet. With Xiao Hei here, they can't get out... Could it be that Xiao Hei is here?" Xiao Guai muttered to himself. At this point, before Ruan Xi and He Ziqian could respond, he rejected it first.
"No, that black hole is not a controllable portal. It was just opened when we left. How could it open again immediately..." Xiaoguai continued to talk to himself, but Ruan Xi and He Ziqian had already stood up and walked towards the control console.
Once you arrive at the place, immediately gather all the team members.
"Xiaoguai sensed the presence of aliens nearby, and we're already at the edge of the mineral-rich star field. Everyone needs to be extra careful from now on."
He Ziqian did not explain too much, and the team members did not have too many doubts. They followed his orders and immediately got busy.
They did not encounter any obstacles along the way. The excessive calmness made them even more suspicious. It felt as if they were walking into the enemy's trap without realizing it, without even looking back.
However, the mission is here, and no matter how dangerous it is, they have to move forward. However, the way of moving forward can also be flexible and changeable.
Xiaoguai had been following his father obediently, mumbling to himself quietly and conducting his own analysis. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly looked up, pulled Ruan Xi and said, "Dad, it's not an alien, it's an alien parasite, a semi-finished product... No, it should be said that it's a failure, the kind that even you, Dad, can't cure!"
When Ruan Xi heard the words "semi-finished product" and "failed product", he immediately thought of a person - Isaac. The moment he thought of this person, he subconsciously looked at He Ziqian, and happened to meet He Ziqian's equally shocked eyes.
"Isaac!"
Sure enough, the two of them thought of the same thing, and Ruan Xi immediately gave his lover a thumbs up.
"It must be Isaac! After being kidnapped, he was actually hidden on the mining planet?" When they mentioned the "mastermind behind the scenes", they tacitly omitted the information related to Admiral He. Anyway, everyone understood it and they just wanted psychological comfort.
However, when the time comes to face it, they will not back down at all.
"What does Isaac want to do here? Is he a chess piece thrown out by the mastermind? Or a trap? Or maybe it's both?" Ruan Xi analyzed the clues related to Isaac according to his situation, but after analyzing it over and over again, he felt that Isaac would inevitably become a discarded pawn in the end.
Moreover, it is very likely that he is an abandoned pawn who has never been loved by his master.
Just as Ruan Xi was concentrating on thinking, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded in the spaceship, and then Xu Ze came over to report.
"Captain, we've spotted over a hundred pirate ships ahead, and they're all flying the flag of the Dark Pirates."
"It's Isaac indeed. We have wiped out all the Dark Star Pirates. Where did he get this team from?" Ruan Xi's thoughts were still not complicated enough, and he was frowning in confusion.
"The universe is vast, and there is more than just the Shadow pirate group." Just this one sentence immediately opened up Ruan Xi's mind.
"You mean, he recruited other pirate groups to work for him?"
The word "subdue" is used very cleverly. It only describes a result, but cannot explain the entire process. Obviously, no matter what means Isaac used to subdue these pirate groups, they are now a big trouble facing the Goshawk Team.
If they can't solve this problem, not only will they not be able to complete the mission, they might even lose their lives.
"The failure is right there! Dad, do we want to bring him back? He's in danger!" Xiaoguai pointed to the front, raised his little face and looked at Ruan Xi, waiting for his instructions.
Ruan Xi: "..." Is this forcing him to use child labor? I feel a little guilty for some reason!
"Dangerous...does it mean that he himself is in danger, or that the people with him are in danger?" Ruan Xi thought of two possibilities and asked directly.
Because they are straightforward. If you don't speak directly to them, the answer they give may never be the one you want.
“Yes, both!”
Xiaoguai answered his father's questions honestly, with a hint of anxiety on his face. Obviously, he still had some sympathy for this "common man".
Seeing his anxious look, Ruan Xi asked, "Xiaoguai, do you want to bring him back? But as you can see, there are hundreds of pirate ships out there. It won't be easy for us to catch him."
"I can go alone! I can find him!" Xiaoguai continued with his shocking words, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Fuck, is Xiaoguai so tough? Rushing into the enemy camp to capture the commander and all that, that's so cool!"
"But, can this really be cool?" There are so many pirate ships, and each ship and each gun is enough to deal a heavy blow. They all have to hide now, okay? Their Goshawk can't do such a thing as directly confronting them!
In order not to hurt Xiaoguai's self-esteem, everyone just whispered in his ear, but Xiaoguai didn't pay any attention to them. He was just waiting for his father to agree to his request.
"Do you want to bring him back so badly?"
To be honest, Ruan Xi also wanted to capture Isaac back, which was still his original idea.
He felt that he could dig out more information from Isaac.
