Chapter 434: Chapter 306: Another One Down

Qu Jianlei listened and felt somewhat speechless, so it’s related to me that you can patrol the street?

But thinking it over, that’s actually the logic, ”Is your injury getting better?”

Youyou softly replied, ”It’s mostly recovered, but there’s a lingering problem. Only returning to the Imperial can completely heal it.”

Qu Jianlei was speechless again, after a while he asked, ”Do you want me to help you unlock your Cultivation Level?”

Youyou paused and replied, ”Let’s keep it this way, without the Cultivation Level, there’s no need to deal with the Pioneers.”

Seeing her calm demeanor, Qu Jianlei couldn’t help but ask, ”Are you still able to be ruthless with the Star Thieves now?”

”I’m an Imperial Soldier,” Youyou answered without hesitation.

But after a pause, she added, ”I can’t bring myself to harm Fourth Master, he’s a pitiful person too.”

Qu Jianlei thought about it, feeling like he had nothing more to say, so he asked, ”Are many people predicting the Pioneers’ counterattack?”

”It’s obvious, all the Star Thieves know,” Youyou replied casually, ”It’s just the timing, scale, and intensity that’s uncertain.”

Qu Jianlei remained silent and only spoke after a long pause, ”The counterattack will come quickly, be careful. Anything else?”

Youyou kept her head down and answered quickly, ”If you encounter trouble during the counterattack, find me at Number Thirteen, Triumph Street.”

Qu Jianlei had nothing more to say. I came to warn you, and if possible, wanted to take you away.

But now, it seems like I’m here seeking help.

Feeling awkward, Youyou had already taken out a pen and swiftly signed the document.

After signing, without raising her head, she tossed the plastic bag to Qu Jianlei, ”Take care, leave quickly.”

Qu Jianlei was slightly startled, softly said ”Take care,” and turned to leave.

After he left, Youyou remained with her head down, raising it after more than a minute.

Then she waved her hand over her nose a couple of times, apparently disliking the smell on Qu Jianlei.

Next, she picked up a glass and took a small sip, hiding the lower half of her face behind the glass.

No one could see how her mouth curled up, ”Haha, actually thought to act ugly... you’re considerate.”

After Qu Jianlei left, he worked at the construction site for another two days until the alarm sounded in the core area.

He didn’t know the significance of the alarm, but since it was resonating throughout the zone, it must be something urgent, right?

The foreman at the construction site, upon hearing the alarm, immediately changed his expression, directly allowing Qu Jianlei and the others to leave.

The previous foreman was still resting due to a headache, this one’s attitude was somewhat better, ”Leave quickly, otherwise, you won’t be able to.”

Qu Jianlei looked bewildered, but saw the other four temporary identities huddled together, whispering about something.

He wanted to listen, but they shooed him away with disdain, ”Why are you coming over for nothing? Get lost!”

Just because he’s ugly doesn’t mean he has no rights? Qu Jianlei sulkily turned away and quickly left.

His reaction was really correct, when exiting the core area, all he needed was a temporary pass and that was it.

The four left just under ten minutes slower than him, they were thoroughly checked by the guards, which took at least five minutes.

Qu Jianlei kept wondering what exactly those four had said, so his attention stayed on them.

However, when he left the control area and entered the security area, those four actually stayed in the control area.

Not until two hours later did a short one leave the control area and hurriedly walk away.

Qu Jianlei thought, anyway, I’m going to take down Boltney, taking down one more is no big deal,

so he waited in ambush by the roadside, and decisively knocked the person out when he passed by.

It was rather easy to question him, there are few indigenous people who defected to the Star Thieves with firm resolve.

However, that alarm was indeed not much, just a full alert, an exhaustive inspection of the area.

As for why those four ignored Qu Jianlei? It’s because they knew when such an alarm is issued, the control area will be closed for a long time.

Those four discussed that since we’ve encountered this opportunity, what should we bring out?

Many supplies are sold only in the core or control areas, once closed for a long time, external prices would skyrocket.

Those four aimed to take advantage of the chance to make a big profit, so they completely ignored Qu Jianlei as a potential competitor.

Actually, those four weren’t familiar with each other, Qu Jianlei’s rejection was still for that reason... ugly people have no rights.

Qu Jianlei raised a hand and twisted the person’s neck, yet inwardly wondered... what on earth had happened?

Resolving himself, he captured a few more Star Thieves, finally obtaining accurate news.

Team Four’s captain is suspected of being ambushed, currently missing, life or death unknown.

This captain was an A-level Gold Attribute, right on the front lines against the Pioneers, and now vanished, likely facing grave danger.

This news shocked all the Star Thieves exceptionally, speaking of defense, the Gold Attribute isn’t Earth Attribute and is even stronger in attack power.

Crucially, the Star Thieves’ high-end combat power on the front lines stably suppressed the Pioneers.

Now the Pioneers are making such a big move, it’s obvious they’ve formed a local advantage.

This issue is quite important, the Star Pirates must figure out what exactly is happening.

Qu Jianlei vaguely guessed that this is likely the last feint before the Pioneers’ counterattack.

Is taking down an A-level Gold Attribute difficult? Indeed, it’s not easy, but don’t forget, Spirit Fox is also an A-level Gold Attribute.

The recovery of Spirit Fox should be beyond the Star Pirates’ expectations, and Deputy Leader Fangcao... is roughly recovered as well.

These are two A-levels not within the calculations, plus the A-level confronting the fourth squad leader...

Estimated to be roughly three against one, right? In this situation, it’s already a stroke of luck if the fourth squad leader can keep their life.

Not to mention, Spirit Fox and Fangcao would definitely ambush, being the calculating ones against the uninformed.

Qu Jianlei moved forward while sorting through his thoughts, feeling he guessed correctly.

Then, he casually took down Boltney, walked a bit further, and received a call from Pan Yifu.

Old Pan’s news is quite informed too, ”Took down an A-level Gold Attribute?”

”I just heard about it too,” Qu Jianlei replied solemnly, ”still wondering why the core area sounded the alarm.”

He was speaking the truth, but Pan Yifu habitually had a preconceived notion, ”Was Wen Xin involved?”

Old Pan was also somewhat projecting, thinking that an A-level Gold Attribute is quite challenging to handle, even Spirit Fox wouldn’t be effective.

He didn’t doubt Spirit Fox’s combat power, but both being Gold Attributes, theoretically lacking appropriate restraint methods.

Spirit Fox winning was not an issue, but if the opponent wanted to escape, he basically couldn’t stop them.

But Wen Xin, not only strong, the key is the Earth Attribute, which in some ways restrains the Gold Attribute.

”I really don’t know this,” Qu Jianlei candidly said, ”You two are A-levels, no need to reach him through me, right?”

Pan Yifu was momentarily speechless, finally just snorted coldly, ”You two must be up to something, just hiding from me.”

Qu Jianlei was really speechless, ”The two of you got off the same spaceship, not me.”

”Sigh,” Old Pan sighed helplessly, paused, and then asked, ”The Pioneers’ counterattack is about to begin, right?”

Qu Jianlei felt a bit speechless hearing this, the Pioneers’ imminent counterattack was almost common knowledge.

However, maybe this is an open strategy, he replied solemnly, ”Should be soon, but I don’t have the specifics.”

Pan Yifu spoke in a deep voice, ”Can you inform me when they launch?”

”Inform you...” Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment, then smiled wryly, ”They might not even inform me.”

”They will definitely inform you,” Pan Yifu said emphatically, what a joke, would the Pioneers ignore Black Heaven?

In many aspects, the Electromagnetic Technique has incomparable advantages over other attributes.

Moreover, Spirit Fox has witnessed first-hand how powerful B-level Electromagnetic Techniques are.

Pan Yifu could also roughly guess what the other party was worried about, ”I won’t cause trouble, I’ll only cooperate with them.”

This, he was not convenient to say to the Pioneers, but he wanted Black Heaven to understand, Pan Yifu wasn’t unaware of priorities.

”No problem with that,” Qu Jianlei replied solemnly, ”Actually, the Pioneers hope to get your cooperation too.”

”Sigh,” Pan Yifu sighed upon hearing this, ”It would be better if we could get Wen Xin’s help.”

You’re not done yet, Qu Jianlei couldn’t help but jab at him, ”Pan Sir, then you should have gotten along on the spaceship.”

Pan Yifu was directly choked by this, he couldn’t possibly say they hadn’t met Wen Xin on the spaceship.

But the key is that after breaking through, for a long time, Wen Xin never sought him out actively.

And what’s even more stinging is that Wen Xin could easily have contacted him.

So Wen Xin’s attitude towards him is probably just like his attitude towards the Pioneers.

There’s no malice, considered in the same camp, but for some reason, just unwilling to engage more.

In the end, Pan Yifu didn’t continue the topic, ”Alright, stay in touch.”

Three days later, Spirit Fox and a female A-level arrived at the battlefield hospital.

The female A-level looked a bit fragile, at least thinner, but those who knew her definitely didn’t underestimate her.

As the Deputy Leader of the Celestial Level Team Fangcao, how could her combat power be lacking?

It was her first time meeting Qu Jianlei, but she wasn’t distant at all, warmly greeting him.

”Black Heaven, I’ve long admired your name, this time coming specifically to thank you, for the Limb Regeneration Potion you provided, there will be a lavish reward after recovery.”

”No need for formalities,” Qu Jianlei smiled in reply, then asked curiously, ”Recovered so quickly?”

”Can barely fight,” Fangcao replied conservatively.

Then her expression turned serious, speaking in a deep voice, ”We’re planning to counterattack, can you participate?”

When she said this, a daunting aura was surprisingly released from her slim body.
