Jiang Ningtao's movements were still quite fast, and he didn't know if it was because he was in a hurry to save people or someone else's, early the next morning, his deputy came to knock on Xiao Zhiyun's dormitory door, saying that a new fleet would be sent to the red forbidden area to rescue people in the afternoon, reminding Xiao Zhiyun to prepare early.

As soon as the deputy with the rank of major left, Duan Lishu, who heard the movement next door, also opened the door and came out.

Looking at the back of the flying car in the distance, Duan Lishu still had a toothbrush in his mouth, and said to Xiao Zhiyun inarticulately: "It seems that Lao Jiang is in a hurry, he will send a fleet to rescue in the afternoon, and there was probably an all-night meeting last night." ”

He didn't hide what he had been hiding next door to eavesdrop on before, looking at Xiao Zhiyun's calm expression, Duan Lishu took the toothbrush from his mouth and said, "I thought he would let His Highness rest for two more days." ”

Xiao Zhiyun still had a dry towel around his neck, it seemed that he was obviously preparing to wash before the major came to knock on the door, he smiled after listening to Duan Lishu's words, and replied when he turned to enter the door: "Saving people is like fighting fires, where is the time to give me two more days of rest, not to mention that many people are staring at the Third Army this time, the ministers of the Nebula Academy, the court meeting, and the people from the military department, Commander Jiang does not dare to delay." ”

Duan Lishu looked at Xiao Zhiyun and turned back to the back of the house, he stood at the door of his house for a long time before he snorted lightly: "Also, this matter can't be delayed, the more people who pay attention to it, the more people pay attention to, and the more attention it is, and some actions are not easy to do again." ”

At two o'clock in the afternoon on Caesar's Star, several starships in Starport were ready to go.

Xiao Zhiyun was wearing a training uniform of Nebula Academy, and he was also ready to follow the soldiers of the Third Legion on the side to board the ship at any time.

The person in charge of taking people to the Red Forbidden Zone to rescue this time is the brigadier general Pei Ming of the Third Legion, and he is also the third senior person of the Third Legion in addition to the chief and deputy commanders, it is said that once Jiang Ningtao resigns or is transferred, then he is the most likely person to become the commander of the Third Legion.

Pei Ming's age is not very old, he is only about forty years old, and he can become a brigadier general at his age, which is because he has been promoted with real military achievements.

Xiao Zhiyun didn't know much about Pei Ming, because Pei Ming was too low-key, and he hadn't returned to the Imperial Capital Star for many years, even if it was the Imperial Capital Star's military ceremony every five years, he rarely attended.

And because Pei Ming is too low-key, even Xiao Zhiyun doesn't know his true position.

However, this time Jiang Ningtao handed over the task of saving people to him, and Xiao Zhiyun had some thoughts in his heart, either Pei Ming and Jiang Ningtao were all the way, or Jiang Ningtao wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of him, as for what kind of .......

Xiao Zhiyun's eyes flashed, and he turned his head to look at Duan Lishu, who was not far from him.

At this time, Lishu was standing not far away with a thousand soldiers from the Long Family's army, but he himself was pulling Jiang Ningtao to say something.

Xiao Zhiyun saw the embarrassment on Jiang Ningtao's face, and thought that the content of what Duan Lishu said to him at this time was not what Jiang Ningtao wanted to hear.

When Duan Lishu pulled Jiang Ning's horn non-stop, Xiao Zhiyun thought about it and walked over, and as soon as the two of them walked in, they heard what Duan Lishu was saying.

"Lao Jiang, you are talking, okay or not, just a few words, are you so embarrassed?" Duan Lishu dragged Jiang Ningtao and didn't let him go, this scoundrel's behavior didn't have the bearing of a dignified young general at all, but he didn't care at all, and he still shouted vigorously: "In a word, you are so like an old lady, let His Highness follow us, and it's not that he won't be allowed to participate in the assessment." ”

Where did Jiang Ningtao think that he would be entangled by Duan Lishu when he came to send him off, he knew that he would not come like this, but now that he is entangled and can't leave, plus the starship over there is about to start boarding, Duan Lishu is still pestering him, Jiang Ningtao is simply a head or two.

"Is this a matter of words? His Royal Highness is here for the graduation assessment, and the content of his assessment is to follow our people to save people, what is the matter with you letting Your Highness get on your starship? ”

"Why can't it? Our starship is not the same, is it following you to save people? ”

"You're here to help, and you're here to help privately, so you can't talk about the rules and regulations, okay!?" Jiang Ning said angrily: "You still let Your Highness go with your starship, this is even more out of line, do you want others to say that Your Highness cheated in the graduation assessment?!" ”

Jiang Ningtao was so anxious that his face turned green, but Duan Lishu was still pulling him around, and just when the two were arguing, Xiao Zhiyun finally came over to solve the siege.

"General Duan." Xiao Zhiyun also heard the reason why the two were entangled, and understood that Duan Lishu had to ask him to follow the Long Family's starship to protect his safety, but Xiao Zhiyun still said: "The assessment system can't be changed, and you don't have to embarrass Commander Jiang anymore, what are the rules, and I can't be special because of my identity." ”

Xiao Zhiyun's words made Duan Lishu, who was having to pull Jiang Ningtao's nonsense, suddenly lose his words, especially when he saw the undoubted look in Xiao Zhiyun's eyes, Duan Lishu could only give up and said: "That's okay, I'll send His Highness up, it's always okay, right?" ”

Xiao Zhiyun was on the main ship in this fleet, and it was also the command ship, Duan Lishu sent him up, Jiang Ningtao did not stop him, and even breathed a sigh of relief after Duan Lishu and Xiao Zhiyun left.

The main ship is directly ahead, the people of the Third Legion are still integrating, Xiao Zhiyun is just here for assessment, and he is not a member of the Third Legion, so it is nothing to stay here, and no one will say anything if he goes up in advance.

Duan Lishu and Xiao Zhiyun boarded the main ship's teleportation ladder one after the other, and while there was no one at this moment, Duan Lishu stuffed something into Xiao Zhiyun's hand at an obscured angle.

Xiao Zhiyun lowered his eyes and glanced at the small thing stuffed in his hand, and then showed a puzzled look at Duan Lishu.

Duan Lishu lowered his voice and said: "Special communicator, exclusive to the Long Family Army, this thing is only available to our Long Family Army, and the communication signal is also exclusive to the Long Family Army." After saying that, he paused, and then added: "Not to be interfered with by the forbidden area." ”

Xiao Zhiyun's eyes were surprised, but Duan Lishu hooked the corners of his mouth at him, and said proudly: "Don't worry about using it boldly, this thing has been tested by our Long Family Army." ”

Tested?

Xiao Zhiyun quickly understood, and also lowered his voice and said, "After you made this thing, you went to the red forbidden area for testing?" ”

It's not just the fifth galaxy that has red exclusion zones, it's found in every galaxy, and the sixth galaxy has even more exclusion zones.

Duan Lishu gave him a 'didn't expect it' look, and chuckled: "Many years ago, our Long Family Army began to guard against those forbidden areas in the Sixth Galaxy that have not been explored by humans, and we don't know about other galaxies, but in the Sixth Galaxy, those red forbidden areas cannot be said to have not been explored, at least our Long Family Army will regularly go in to investigate and explore." ”

Xiao Zhiyun nodded when he heard this, didn't say anything more, but stuffed the special communicator in his hand into his trouser pocket.

Duan Lishu saw that he put it in his trouser pocket so casually, and couldn't help but remind: "Don't throw it away, this thing is expensive, I'll send you a manual for use later, this thing can not only communicate with each other, but also send a location for help." This time, I and the people I brought brought this thing with us, and at the same time, Dashuai is always paying attention, once there is an accident, not only can we receive the location call for help, but Dashuai can also receive it at the same time. ”

Xiao Zhiyun nodded again to indicate that he knew, and after sending him to the main ship, Duan Lishu went down without staying long, but Xiao Zhiyun did not go back to his rest cabin, but went to the control cabin to wait for the others to come up.

Half an hour later, several starships in the starport rose into the air one after another, in addition to the three starships with the regimental emblem of the Third Legion, there was also a starship with the military emblem of the Long Family.

The four starships flew away from Starport, and then accelerated out of Caesar's artificial atmosphere in unison, heading towards the Red Forbidden Zone of the Fifth System.

There are three red exclusion zones in the Fifth System, the largest of which is the one that the bandits have run into is named ----- Villalvi Field.

The Viralvi field is behind a dense meteorite belt, and in order to reach this field, you must first pass through that meteorite belt.

In fact, the size of the starship is not suitable for crossing the meteorite belt, because the volume is too large and it is easy to be hit by meteorites, and there is only one way for the general starship to cross the meteorite belt, which is to turn on the attack mode throughout the whole process and smash all the large and small meteorites that collide around.

For a starship that sails in the sea of stars all year round, it is not difficult to destroy the dense meteorites in the meteorite belt, but it will slow down the starship's progress in the process of destruction.

After the four starships passed through the meteorite belt safely, Xiao Zhiyun and the others finally arrived at the Viralvi Star Domain.

In the control cabin of the main ship, Pei Ming, as the main person in charge of the rescue operation, has never left here the whole time, outside the huge porthole is a deep and mysterious unknown starry sky, and the communication channels on the main ship have always been linked to several other starships.

As the broadcast of the main ship system fell, Pei Ming's expression was serious, and his eyebrows wrinkled into a profound word 'Sichuan'.

He said to the others in the communication channel in a deep voice: "According to the last message from the missing pursuit ship, they encountered the asteroid belt forty minutes after entering this star field, and then completely lost the news. Now that we're about to reach the asteroid belt they talked about before they lost contact, and that's where their location finally disappeared, so the captains of the ships are cautious, we can't predict what will happen near the asteroid belt. ”

"Roger." The communicators on the console heard the voices of the captains.

Different from the serious voices of the other three captains, Duan Lishu's lazy voice, "Brigadier General Pei, did you say what happened to the group of star thieves who were chased by them before they lost contact?" ”

It was probably the first time that Pei Ming had encountered someone who could use such a lazy voice to raise a question in such an important task, and he was stunned before he replied: "No, there was a murmur in the communication signal at that time, and they didn't leave anything for us and suddenly lost contact." ”

Duan Lishu laughed lazily, and he didn't know if he didn't believe it, so he just thought about replying: "Is it?" ”

Then Duan Lishu didn't wait for Pei Ming to say anything more, and temporarily turned off the communication on his side.

Pei Ming's eyebrows furrowed again, he originally wanted Duan Lishu to open the communication again, but before he could speak, there was a sudden murmur in several other communication channels.

The captain who was sitting in the operation chair suddenly said: "Commodore General, our signal has been interfered with for unknown reasons, and the closer we get to the asteroid belt, the stronger the interference will be. ”

Pei Ming reacted immediately, forcibly slapped away the communication on Duan Lishu's side, and said in a deep voice in the public channel: "All starships stop first." ”

Although the communication signal was interfered with, Pei Ming's words still spread to several other starships, and after an order, the four starships stopped almost at the same time.

Pei Ming looked at the asteroid belt in front of him, and only hesitated for a moment before making a decision: "All the starships stay here, leave some people on the starship, and the others are divided into teams of 100 people, and a group of five people enters the aircraft to cross the asteroid belt." ”

The starship was left here just in case, and the person on board the craft to cross the asteroid belt was to pass through it smoothly.

Pei Ming, as the supreme commander of this operation, even Duan Lishu would not refute his decision, so after he gave the order, the people on each starship began to prepare as a whole team to transfer to the aircraft.

Pei Ming turned to look at Xiao Zhiyun, who was speechless behind him, and asked, "Does Your Highness come with me or do you want to bring someone on the flying machine yourself?" ”

Although Xiao Zhiyun has been staying in the control cabin and not talking much along the way, he has always been silently observing this Brigadier General Pei Ming, at this time Pei Ming suddenly asked him, Xiao Zhiyun seemed to think for a while and then smiled: "Although I came this time to save people with you, but the most fundamental thing is because of the graduation assessment, if I follow Brigadier General Pei all the way, and have been protected by Brigadier General you, I am afraid that I will not be able to do anything, so I will still get on a flying machine alone." ”

Pei Ming nodded when he heard this, and said: "Your Highness can think like this, I think it's very good, so that after the assessment is over, no one will say anything about you, let alone doubt your ability." ”

Xiao Zhiyun raised his eyebrows, and looked at Pei Ming's eyes with inexplicable meaning.

But Pei Ming didn't seem to see his inexplicable eyes, and then asked lightly: "Do you want to personally select the members of the team?" ”

Xiao Zhiyun retracted his gaze, looked out of the porthole, and said with a smile: "No, I believe in the vision of the brigadier general, and the members of the team will be picked by the brigadier general." ”

Pei Ming didn't say anything after hearing this, nodded and strode towards the outside of the control cabin.

Xiao Zhiyun immediately followed.

In a group of five, the soldiers of the Third Legion on the main ship quickly separated, and lined up on the bridge in silence and neatness, ready to enter the outer compartment.

Xiao Zhiyun stood at the back of the line, waiting slowly with the team, but it didn't take long for Pei Ming to come over with four young soldiers.

Xiao Zhiyun looked at the four people behind Pei Ming and understood that this was the team member he picked out for himself.

Pei Ming didn't stop much after handing over the four of them to Xiao Zhiyun, and took the lead in leaving the bridge to board the aircraft, but before leaving, he said to Xiao Zhiyun: "Your Highness's mecha has been transported to the aircraft, and when you go up later, Your Highness will remember to check it first." ”

Xiao Zhiyun's eyes flashed, and then nodded and smiled at Pei Ming: "Thank you Brigadier General for reminding me." ”
