“I heard that the Hei Yao was said to have ended its sub-light speed flight, why is it opening space training this time?”

Su Mo asked, feeling bored.

“I’m not sure about that.”

Chen Shan shook his head.

Just then, the broadcast sounded.

“Emergency notice, all officers of school rank, please immediately proceed to the temporary conference room in Sector K to attend an emergency meeting. Everyone must be present, no absences allowed.”

Chen Shan quickly got up. He said to Su Mo, "Su Mo, you and Lin Yue stay here and watch. I’m going to a meeting, sounds like something happened."

"Okay."

Su Mo nodded.

Xiao Wen, who was training the team members, heard the broadcast and ran over immediately, shouting to Chen Shan.

"Let's go!"

.......

Listening to the repeating broadcast, Su Mo felt an inexplicable sense of foreboding.

The personnel who were training in the hangar also looked blank. They watched their officers rush away one by one, feeling very curious.

But soon everything returned to normal, and training continued.

Su Mo walked towards Lin Yue.

"What happened?"

"I don't know, I didn't receive any notification beforehand."

Lin Yue said after thinking for a moment.

"Forget it, let's not overthink it. We'll wait for Xiao Wen and the others to finish the meeting. Let's continue training."

Su Mo said calmly.

"Okay."

Lin Yue nodded.

.......

At eight o'clock in the evening, the training in the hangar had ended. However, all the team members had not dispersed, and were voluntarily waiting in the hangar for Xiao Wen and Chen Shan to return.

"This meeting is taking a really long time."

Su Mo said, looking at the time on his phone.

A worried look also appeared on Lin Yue's face.

Just then, Xiao Wen and the other officers appeared in the distance, walking over with tight expressions and rather ugly faces.

Su Mo and the others immediately went to meet them.

"What happened?"

Xiao Wen took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, come with me to the corner, I have something to announce."

The personnel looked at each other and responded.

"Yes!"

Soon Su Mo and the others arrived at a quieter corner of the hangar. Xiao Wen got straight to the point, saying, "We just received the latest news. The Hei Yao has arrived near the mother star of the former Bateke Kingdom, which was destroyed. After a decision by the higher-ups, they have decided to implement Operation: Kleptomaniac, which is to parachute onto Planet Bateke and steal the remaining resources."

Hearing Xiao Wen's words, Lin Yue couldn't help but gasp.

"Isn't this plan a bit crazy? Although the Hei Yao is quite advanced, Planet Bateke, which was destroyed, is definitely full of dangers. If the Hei Yao dares to land, it's ninety percent doomed."

"You're right, so the Hei Yao is not within the scope of the operation. Only the mobile units and infantry will carry out the stealing operation, and we are one of the selected units."

Chen Shan said with an unusually heavy heart. It wasn't that he had a psychological resistance, but he really hadn't trained enough.

Standing to the side, Su Mo also frowned. He was also very surprised by the stealing plan. This operation was no less than snatching chestnuts from the fire!

"I don't think the decision-makers at the top would normally take such a big risk. Since they have made this decision, they must have reliable internal information."

"Yes, this operation is not blind. There are mainly three action target strongholds, but it's not yet clear which one we will be assigned to."

Xiao Wen explained.

"Then Xiao Wen, how many people do we need to send out? When will we start?"

Lin Yue asked, biting her lip lightly.

"We need to dispatch the small plundering ship Gray Bee, and arrange the personnel ourselves. But the minimum must not be less than three hundred people. As for the operation time, there is still a bit of a buffer, it is scheduled for twelve o'clock tomorrow noon."

Xiao Wen said in a deep voice.

"Officer Xiao Wen, I'm not afraid, I'm willing to fight!"

"I'm willing too!"

.....

The soldiers present raised their hands to sign up one after another, none of them shrinking back. Although their previous battles were really terrible, they were not discouraged by this. Instead, they took it as a shame and secretly resolved to train hard, waiting for the opportunity to fight again.

Xiao Wen looked at the determined faces and said.

"Everyone, line up!"

Swish!

In the next second, the many team members present immediately dispersed and lined up.

Xiao Wen looked at them with his hands behind his back and said, "To be honest with you, this mission is extremely dangerous. I don't know how many people will come back alive. But I promise that as long as I have a breath left, I will not abandon you and leave alone. Now I will give you a chance, those who are afraid, step back! Don't be shy to step back, this is not a drill, I don't want anyone to collapse at the last minute and become a burden to their teammates."

None of the team members present flinched. Although some of them had a trace of unease in their eyes, their bodies still stood firmly in place.

Xiao Wen was also inexplicably gratified to see his soldiers, not a single one shrinking back.

However, he did not intend to take them all, so he continued.

"Very good, I am honored by you, now listen to my order, all only children in the family, step forward."

As a result, no one moved.

Chen Shan walked to a soldier and reached out to pat him on the shoulder.

"Qin Feng, I remember that although you have an older sister, you are the only male in the family, you step forward."

"Reporting, Officer Chen Shan, you are mistaken!"

Qin Feng replied in a loud voice.

Chen Shan kicked him and said angrily, "Mistaken my ass! Get out here."

"I won't!"

Qin Feng just stood there and didn't move.

Chen Shan was also angry and touched. He turned to look at the others. But the others didn't move at all. In short, not a single one was willing to quit.

Su Mo looked at this scene, and his heart was also slightly touched. But it wouldn't work if this continued. They were not willing to quit, so they couldn't all go to battle.

If that happened, the casualties would be even more serious, and the entire formation might be wiped out.

So Su Mo suggested, "Xiao Wen, why don't we draw lots?"

"Okay, draw lots!"

Xiao Wen heard Su Mo's suggestion and agreed without hesitation.

Lin Yue turned and left to prepare after hearing this.

Soon after, Lin Yue brought back a large box with slips of paper inside for everyone to draw.

All the soldiers went up to draw one after another!

The people who drew the winning slips showed a relieved expression, while those who didn't looked a bit complicated.

Before long, three hundred people were selected.

Xiao Wen said, "All those who have been selected, gather in the hangar at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, everyone dismiss!"

"Yes!"

Everyone responded.

.......

Soon only Su Mo, Lin Yue, Xiao Wen and Chen Shan were left on the scene.

Xiao Wen turned to Lin Yue and Su Mo and said, "This operation is too dangerous, you two should not participate."

"I want to participate."

Lin Yue shook her head and replied.

"Lin Yue, aren't you being ridiculous? Your combat skills are not good, and it's so dangerous down there, we have to spare the energy to protect you. And if we all go down, who will stay behind!"

Chen Shan tried to dissuade her.
