Poof~呲!

The airtight pressurized hatch of the starship Starry Sky slowly opened, and the connecting bridge with the space home port was successfully connected.

Immediately!

Countless people who have been looking forward to it for a long time and are like arrows in their hearts, carrying large bags and small bags of luggage on their backs.

Those who return with a full load, with joy and excitement, even the steps are light.

And those who return with little harvest are like mourners, depressed, and listless when they even walk.

Compared with the 'reloading' when they left, many people are returning to Earth now.

For example, some treasure hunting teams simply abandoned armored vehicles, weapons and ammunition, etc., and did not choose to bring them back, plus nearly eighty percent of the people died on the planet Dastan, and of course their equipment and materials were also lost.

Therefore, the return of the starship 'Starry' to Earth this time is a world of difference compared to the tens of thousands of tons of supplies it carried when it left the planet.

In order not to make the storage compartment of a huge interstellar mothership almost empty, in addition to shipping all the gold, silver, precious and heavy metals he collected, Qin Tian even used several industrial cities in Pada and Ernar to process and produce a batch of equipment and equipment, anyway, he couldn't waste his precious transportation capacity.

It is not easy to travel to and from Dastan once, so the return of the 'Starry' interstellar carrier is still full of loads, but this is only for Weile Aerospace Technology.

For most of the adventurers who survived, their mood was as light as their bags, and some even walked to the hatch, not knowing how to go back to face their family and friends, and to face the people who had invested in him, and they were all sobbing silently.

Taking risks is not about getting rich 100% in the first place, and it is possible to die, go missing, and be injured.

Drag with heavy steps, or take light steps......

When the passengers who came out one after another entered the Sky City and saw those who came to pick up the airport with eager expectations, an inexplicable atmosphere spread.

"Thank goodness you're finally back safely!

"Needless to say, of course, we're going to make a lot of money this time!"

"Okay, let's go, I've booked a hotel room in advance, I want to see what treasures you have!"

"Haha!

……

"Why are you the only one who came back? What about the others? Didn't you make an appointment online in the first place?"

"They're dead! I'm the only one back!"

"Oh my God, what the hell happened? Were you attacked by those monsters? Are you all in your backpack?"

Let's go, take me to the room first, and I'll tell you slowly!"

……

"Why? Why is this happening? Why?"

"I don't know, I really don't know! After arriving in Kota Kinabalu, many powerful treasure hunting teams left in flames, and everyone acted separately, and only returned on the day of returning to Earth, so I don't know what the situation of your company's treasure hunting team is!"

"What the hell is going on over there? Our company's treasure hunting team has received all kinds of professional training and is equipped with a lot of advanced equipment, how could it be missing?"

"I'm sorry! I really don't know, anyway, there are many people who have passed this time, some people have bad intentions, they don't take risks to hunt for treasures, but they have become bandits, it can be said that many people who came back today have bloody hands, and their treasures are not clean!"

……

Arrivals area.

The people who came to greet them met the people who returned, and it was really a few minutes to perform all kinds of sad and joyful scenes.

Some people were overjoyed and hugged each other on the spot and shouted victory.

There are also people who are depressed, beating their chests and frustrated.

But more people are looking forward to the people who go on adventures to hunt for treasure, and they can return safely, preferably with a full load.

But......

The large LCD widescreen display next to it began to scroll through the list.

4o days ago, 13,475 people went on the expedition, but now only 3,586 passengers have returned safely after identity verification.

In other words, there are nearly 10,000 people, either who died on the planet Dastan, or disappeared and lost contact, anyway, the name, gender, nationality and other information of the people who came back safely kept scrolling on the screen.

Laurent, the general manager of heRo, is 57 years old.

It stands to reason that at his age, he should not take a spaceship to the city in the sky, although it is safe to travel between heaven and earth, but the strong plus or minus overload is not good for the heart and blood vessels of the elderly.

But......

Laurent: He can't help but come!

More than 20 shareholders of heRo have spent hundreds of billions of euros to form the most luxurious treasure hunt team, whether it is the company's shareholders or employees, or the families of the treasure hunting team, etc., everyone is sure that this time will be full of money.

Laurent was also full of hope for this, so he came to Sky City with his assistant a day early, and waited in the pick-up area an hour early.

In the crowd, Laurent saw an old acquaintance, Steyer, the president of the North American United Space Exploration Corporation, as the managers of two companies that have been competing with each other and not convinced, the two did not despise each other, but smiled at each other rarely.

In fact, they are secretly competing in their hearts, and they are all looking forward to their respective treasure hunting teams being better.

66 of the 3,586 passengers walked out of the bridge, and both Laurent and Steyr became more and more excited.

Laurent leaned on a crutch like a scepter, and even straightened her waist and stretched her neck, looking forward to it.

The assistant next to him immediately persuaded with a pleasant face: "The treasure hunting team must have brought too much treasure, so they were arranged to leave the interstellar mothership last, and the last time the Earth-class spacecraft came back, it was also the last to evacuate with the largest carrying capacity!"

Hearing the assistant's words, Laurent nodded slightly.

However, it backfired.

When all the passengers have walked out, even the treasure hunting teams of some small companies have more or less returned, no matter whether the harvest is big or small, but more or less someone has returned.

But the strange thing is that many treasure hunting teams built by big money and big capital, such as heRo company, have not returned.

What's going on?

Are they still reluctant to leave the starship?

Or maybe you have too much treasure and haven't packed it yet?

Laurent and Steyer looked at each other, and both of them read a trace of anxiety in each other's eyes.

The people who came back just now were chattering and muttering, among the more than 10,000 people who had ventured in the past this time, some of them went to be bandits and robbers, and some treasure hunting teams would never come back.

In the hearts of Laurent and the others, they were already secretly beating the drums, and they had a bad premonition.

That's when ......

Sun Zhe, the deputy captain of the starship Starry Sky, took two crew members to the exit of the covered bridge and stood still, and placed a reminder sign of 'idlers are not allowed to enter' next to the cordon.

This action naturally announces that all the passengers have finished disembarking and there is no one else.

What do you mean? Nobody?

In Laurent's eyes, a trace of panic suddenly flashed, and the whole person passed a trace of a bone-chilling chill from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

"All the space passengers who came to pick up the plane, the 3,586 passengers who returned to the Star have all left the ship, and the relevant passenger information has been displayed on the public screen, and those who are not shown belong to the missing personnel, who did not return to Kota Kinabalu at the appointed time and return to the ship on the starship......"

Sun Zhe spoke loudly with full anger, but before he finished speaking, he was already drowned out by countless excited people with all kinds of doubts and questions.

"What do you mean? What about our company's treasure hunting team? Why hasn't anyone come back?"

"It's incredible, isn't it? How did you come back so little bit after more than 10,000 people went? What about the others? Are they all dead?"

"Could you please explain, why is our heRo company's treasure hunting team the strongest, but no one has returned?"

"What do you mean by being lost, are they too far away from Kota Kinabalu and have missed the return time, or have they been attacked by monsters or bandits, please give a clear explanation?"

"What about Qin Tian, we want to see Qin Tian!"

……

"Everyone!

"Those who can come back have already returned! Those who have not come back have disappeared or suffered an accident, or have deliberately not returned to Earth, we don't know!"

We are not responsible for their safety on the planet Dastan, nor do we have no obligation or responsibility to monitor their whereabouts......"

Sun Zhe raised his voice and shouted with all his strength.

Starcarrier, inside the command bridge.

Qin Tian did not leave in a hurry immediately, but in the captain's seat, he saw the various beings in the pick-up area.

Rejoicing, jubilant, dejected, depressed......

There are all kinds of expressions, but now in the surveillance footage are anxious and angry faces.

Especially for those originally powerful enterprises, the treasure hunt team they formed should have shouldered a major mission and returned with a full load, so as to be worthy of the heavy investment of countless shareholders, but no one came back!

In contrast, there are some individual adventurers who are called 'stragglers', and there are also some treasure hunting teams that are not very strong, and they not only come back alive, but also return with a full load, their backpacks bulging, and I don't know how much gold and silver treasure they have carried.

This kind of imaginary ending really makes the pick-up staff of many large companies unable to figure it out, so they flocked to Sun Zhe and others one after another, asking for an explanation.

But what to say?

What can Qin Tian say to these people?

Just as Sun Zhe has explained more than once, the 'Starry' interstellar carrier is just a carrier, and Weile Aerospace Technology is just a transportation service provider, and the people or teams who go on adventures, what they have experienced, what they have encountered, what they have done, etc., have nothing to do with Qin Tian and Weile Aerospace Technology.

It's like taking a plane to Africa, although you buy a round-trip ticket, but the passenger wants to leave the airport to go on an adventure in the African desert, and you can't come back on time, do you blame the airline for not fulfilling its obligations? What obligations?

Qin Tian pressed the communication button and contacted Sun Zhe directly.

"Okay! Don't tell them so much, they are all extremely emotional, no matter how much you explain, it's useless, send intelligent robots up! No one is allowed to break into the bridge!"

"Okay, I see!"

After Sun Zhe responded, he quickly complied.

Let intelligent robots form a 'human wall', block the passage of the covered bridge, repeatedly reiterate their responsibilities as an interstellar travel transportation company, and refuse to give any explanation for the whereabouts of the missing people, because there is no such obligation, and it is indeed unknowing.

And inside the starship.

A small spaceship, like ants moving, kept tossing and turning the storage area of the space homeport and the storage compartment of the mothership, they diligently transported a large amount of materials and equipment, and the spaced starship had to enter the spaceyard for routine maintenance.

After Qin Tian arranged a lot of work, he went to the captain's office.

Irina, a female goblin, has been in high spirits since the starship was connected to the space homeport.

No, as soon as Qin Tian entered the office, Irina flew up and gave Qin Tian a warm hug.

Qin Tian broke free of Irina with a serious warning on his face.

"Oh, I'll go, can you be a little more reserved?"

Irina smiled wickedly and honestly took half a step back.

"Later, I will take you to leave the ship through a special passage, and take you to the scientific research and experimental area to live temporarily, where there is one of my private laboratories, in the laboratory rest and living cabin, all kinds of facilities are fully equipped, you can live with peace of mind, but I warn you, don't touch those instruments and equipment, if there is any accident, see if I don't throw you into space!"

"And without my consent, don't walk around, especially when you enter the space city business district, once you are recognized by the people of heRo company, you will wait for the end!"

Qin Tian's warning, although fierce, but Irina felt that it was extra concern.

"Mmmm, I promise not to move! But Brother Tian, when are you going to come to see me? I don't want to hide all the time, I don't have any freedom at all!"

Irina peeked at Qin Tian, her eyes full of affection.

Qin Tian sighed: "It will take a while, after all, there are so many people missing and not coming back from this trip to Dastan planet, I feel that there must be a lot of trouble, but you don't have nothing to do, you can study hard in the laboratory, don't wander around all day long!"

"Got it! I promise to recharge my batteries, by the way...... Miss you every day!"

Irina smiled sweetly.

Qin Tian felt that goosebumps were about to fall to the ground when he heard this, "Okay, don't be poor, hurry up and put on your helmet!"

Irina hummed and immediately did so.

In the blink of an eye, there was an additional medical intelligent robot next to Qin Tian.

But in fact, the internal instruments and equipment were dismantled, and there was only a shell for Irina to hide from others.

Originally, Qin Tian couldn't be so cautious, could he still produce moths on his own territory?

But Irina didn't give up, she had been an agent, and she felt that she had to be absolutely foolproof.

Therefore, Qin Tian left the interstellar mothership with a special intelligent robot, took a small spaceship, and arrived at the eighth floor below the space homeport, all the way to the private laboratory unimpeded.

Before parting, Irina wanted to offer a kiss, but Qin Tian deftly dodged it, and gave her a warning look.

"You still say you don't like it? It's clear that it's all golden, and it's still so reserved!"

Irina snorted and began to visit Qin Tian's private laboratory, then entered the living cabin like a two-bedroom furnishing, lying on the soft big bed that originally belonged to Qin Tian, and began to think involuntarily again......
