Chapter 274 Return to Blue Star
Lianyi recalled a little and remembered the ground-based space pirate team she had killed. They were searching for the downed base mecha at the time, and she shot them cruelly. No one knew how many people died at the hands of that woman, so she showed no mercy.
"In her communication, there is also a distress message and coordinates sent by the man she calls the leader. The leader is likely still alive and should have been captured."
Ian continued.
"I understand! You organize all this information, I'll go see Teacher Ouyang."
Lianyi originally wanted to take a nap, but after listening to Ian's analysis, she decided to go see the teacher and resolve the hidden danger as soon as possible.
Ouyang was discussing the next steps with Ryan and Nice at this time. They decided to escort the students back to Blue Star first. The reinforcements arrived in time and saved the ZJWL planet base, but the defense level had dropped and it was no longer suitable for the students to stay here.
After deciding on the next plan, Ouyang received Lianyi's video call request. He answered the call and asked directly:
"Hongtu, why haven't you rested yet so late? Is there something wrong?"
"Teacher Ouyang, I'm sorry to bother you. I found something and will pass the information to you now."
Lianyi didn't say anything more. She just asked Ian to send the sorted data information over, and then explained the process of obtaining the information. Then she hung up the video call. She had done what she was supposed to do, and the rest was left to her teacher to worry about.
Ouyang did have a headache. He didn't expect that there was more than one traitor in the base. When Major General Nice found out, he would definitely be even more angry.
Originally, when Hongtu brought people to support, the pirates were already backing down and preparing to retreat. And because Sean and his team successfully broke through, the pirates thought that Sean's team had run away with Hill, and that support from the empire would arrive one after another. They knew that they were no match for the imperial army, so they wisely chose to leave.
However, because of the information sent by the traitor, they decided to give it a try, so the base came under violent attack and suffered a devastating blow.
Ouyang sighed, turned around and went to find Major General Nice. Soon after, among the captured pirates, the injured Leo was locked up alone.
After discussing with Ouyang and Ryan, Nice decided to send the pirate leader back to Blue Star for interrogation. It was a very serious situation that this small pirate leader had an accomplice in the army. It showed that there was a loophole in the army. This was no small problem. This attack could explain everything.
In order to prevent the escaped pirates from making a comeback, Ryan brought the supporting mecha team to escort the students of the First Military Academy back to Blue Star the next day.
On the way, they met the second batch of mecha teams sent by AFWL star to support. After the two sides exchanged information, the support team continued to go to ZJWL star, met up with the first batch of mecha teams to support, assisted ZJWL star in building defenses before returning.
At this time, the communication was smooth, and Lianyi had been answering video calls continuously, including calls from family members, school teachers, and Wu Yishan. However, General Wu's focus was a little off, and the focus of his questions was actually around the Star Thief Ghost Skull.
Lianyi sensed something was wrong and found an excuse to hang up the video call. She was now increasingly suspicious of Wu Yishan and felt that he was hiding some big secret.
"Ian, can you monitor Wu Yishan's communications?"
"Master, I'm sorry, this kind of wiretapping is illegal, and Wu Yishan's security level is higher than Uncle Du's. I can't break through his firewall without alerting the alarm system."
"Did you record the video call I had with him just now?"
"I recorded it. Because General Wu did not use his own AI to contact you, but used another number, I made a special note. Does this AI number also need to be added to the list of rejected calls?"
"Not for now, but every time he contacts me, you must keep a record and make a backup."
"Understood, Master! I will pay special attention to this intelligent computer number."
Lianyi looked at the starry sky outside the window, and the expression on her face became much more relaxed. In five days, they would be able to return to Blue Star. This place was already very close to Blue Star, and the pirates would not go deep into here to hijack them unless they didn't want to live, so there was no need to worry about safety issues.
You have to know that in the first five days after returning, Teacher Ouyang and Sergeant Ryan had been in a state of high alert, for fear of encountering another ambush. This time they were carrying students and some seriously injured soldiers, so they could not engage in a head-on confrontation with them. Fortunately, the journey was relatively smooth.
Lianyi left her cabin to visit her injured classmates. Everyone had recovered well. Those with minor injuries were able to brag with everyone. The seriously injured Barbara and David with a broken leg were also able to get out of bed, but their faces were still a little pale due to excessive blood loss.
When Lianyi walked over, everyone was gathered together, discussing her final group attack sword technique, with envy and admiration on their faces.
"What are you talking about?"
Lianyi asked everyone with a smile.
"I'm talking about you!"
Kate folded her arms and leaned against the window, smiling back.
"What's wrong with me?"
"Of course I'm talking about your cool mecha and your awesome attack skills!"
Anne said with a smile.
Lianyi just smiled, then turned around and asked the black girl sitting on the white floating chair:
"Barbara, how do you feel now?"
"Much better, thank you for your concern!"
Barbara replied shyly.
"Have you informed your family that you are safe?"
"They did, but they didn't seem to know that we were in distress."
David said, propping himself up on one leg.
"It's probably because the military hasn't made it public. If the parents don't ask after we go back, we won't tell them for now. For cases like Hill, David, and Barbara, you should think of your own excuses and don't scare the elders."
Kate instructed everyone.
Everyone nodded in understanding.
"This incident happened a little suddenly, but it benefited me a lot. I also found that I am not suitable for fighting, so I will consider changing my major after returning. I think I have some talent in mecha manufacturing."
David said without hesitation.
"I really like the feeling of fighting, the intersection of life and death. The mecha and I seem to have become one!"
Anne also talked about her feelings.
Afterwards, everyone discussed the future development direction. Five days later, the friends who adjusted their mentality successfully arrived at Blue Star. At this time, they had returned to their previous state. After saying goodbye to each other, everyone went home.
This time, Du Zifeng wore a colorful white mid-length windbreaker and a pair of frog-shaped sunglasses, standing out from the crowd. Lianyi spotted him at a glance.
"Uncle! I'm here!"
"Welcome back! You performed very well this time! You really made the Du family proud!"
Du Zifeng took off his sunglasses and greeted Lian Yi with a smile.
"Uncle, please stop praising me. You also deserve half the credit for this. If it weren't for the fourth-generation mecha you assigned to me, I wouldn't have been able to escape so easily."
