Chapter 112

However, the excitement about their views on choosing a spouse was only temporary. Once their starship was completely refitted, filled with food, water, and several replacement energy stones, a different kind of excitement took over.

"Thank you! Thank you so much! Please express our sincerest gratitude to your mine owner. If you ever need anything, you can find us in the Sixth Legion!"

They hadn't even joined the Sixth Legion yet, but they were already identifying themselves as members, promising to repay the kindness and protect them in the future.

"You're welcome. We wish you a smooth journey," the butler robot replied, not revealing their connection to Mingmei.

Everyone couldn't help but feel like they had struck gold.

They had met great benefactors!

After the starship took off, Gudrian checked the ship again and was stunned.

"Goodness! These robots are too kind! This starship has completely transformed from a passenger carrier into a combat starship! And this food… Logically speaking, those robots don't eat human food themselves. Preparing this for us must have been a last-minute purchase. Whether it's the mine owner or these robots, really… I'm so touched! It's wonderful! QAQ"

Seeing Gudrian so moved, Mingmei quietly instructed Guigui to start recording. Her sister-in-law and the lovely robots on the mining planet deserved to see this wave of gratitude.

Following Chuanwei Liang, the "cool guy" who wanted to marry a robot, Gudrian was probably the second to become famous among these robots.

"Taking a group of military academy students to a complex marginal star, even with the Sixth Legion's control, without carrying any weapons on this starship, not even temporary assembly equipment, do you think that's normal?"

Mu Chen poured cold water on everyone who was still immersed in the feeling of meeting great benefactors.

"This is what we said earlier; they planned to conduct some kind of test on us from the start. Besides testing our ability to leave that place ourselves, even, because we have no defensive attack equipment, what do you think will happen to a starship like ours in this marginal star region?"

After Mu Chen finished speaking, Lu Xiaoyao eagerly answered, "Fat sheep! There will be space pirates!"

"That's right. With space pirates, we won't even have a chance to defend ourselves. Even if some of us have mecha, most of us don't. What about those who don't have mecha? Are the students who can use mecha to escape just going to call for reinforcements?"

Mu Chen continued, "Of course, those who can pilot mecha can rely on their skills and courage to directly fight the space pirates and rescue their teammates."

"Are you crazy? You'll only anger the space pirates!"

Even if these students hadn't seen the cruelty and madness of space pirates, they had heard their teachers talk about it: never try to anger space pirates, especially when they have hostages.

They didn't want to die before they even started!

"Yes, if you get caught, all we can do is rush to the Sixth Legion and ask them to save you, or—you save yourselves."

Mingmei looked coldly at everyone, the corners of her mouth slightly raised. "The reason we're in this situation is because we didn't have a chance to resist from the beginning. So—"

Mingmei suddenly turned her gaze to Hu Yue and asked, "What do you think is the probability of space pirates appearing here?"

Hu Yue: "…"

Hu Yue realized that the plan her brother and the others had concocted was probably exactly what Mingmei and the others had said.

This was completely seen through.

"So, now we don't have to be afraid of space pirates, right?"

At this time, only Lu Xiaoyao hadn't realized what Mingmei and the others were implying. "When the space pirates come, we'll give them a good show, blasting each little brother with a cannon, hahaha!"

As Lu Xiaoyao spoke, the others who had already understood Mingmei and Mu Chen's hints looked at Lu Xiaoyao with a complicated expression.

Was this classmate missing a few screws?

"Yes, we'll give them a good show."

Mu Chen smiled, nodding in agreement with Lu Xiaoyao. The others couldn't help but feel sympathy, sympathizing with the veterans who wanted to mess with them.

Even Hu Yue wanted to light a candle for those veterans.

Maybe they wouldn't let those veterans be killed or injured, but judging from Mu Chen's smile and expression, Hu Yue felt that those veterans were likely, probably, definitely going to suffer a big loss this time.

…

So, when Hu Mingli received the news that students had successfully arrived at their Sixth Legion's garrison territory, he almost crushed the nutrient solution in his hand.

It wasn't just one or two, but a whole starship!

Not just a few who had escaped on their own strength and came here to ask for help, but a whole group who had shaken off the veterans and arrived safely with a starship full of people.

Rui An, who was informing Hu Mingli, glanced at the information on her wrist terminal and told Hu Mingli, "General, they're from the Central Military Academy."

"Heh, where are Waldo and the others?"

Hu Mingli sneered, the anger in his eyes clear to Rui An. She couldn't help but sigh and told him about Waldo's request for punishment not long ago.

She told him that they had almost been blown up by the students.

"Blown up by mecha?"

"Not exactly. According to them, their starship was reassembled and modified somewhere, and many weapons were installed on it."

"So, why did they let them find a way to leave that place and even find a place to modify the starship?"

Hu Mingli sneered at their carelessness. He immediately approved their request for punishment and added, "Half salary this year, half the number of outside missions!"

…

Mingmei and the others successfully arrived at the Sixth Legion's territory.

Earlier, they had looked at the space stations and space defense measures built by the Sixth Legion outside the few planets where they were mainly stationed, and the magnificence of it had stunned all the students who had never seen the battle formation of the border guard legions.

Everyone said that the Central Star was very prosperous, and the marginal stars were all poor countryside, but now it seemed the opposite.

It seemed they were the country bumpkins ＿(：3」∠)_

There were also many defenses in outer space of the Central Star, but that was still just one planet, while here, they had never seen a space defense mechanism built with several planets together.

Entering the range of the Sixth Legion, their starship immediately received an inquiry from the Sixth Legion. From identity verification to clearance and entry, and then to another layer of inspection after disembarking the starship according to instructions, after a series of checks, they received their new identity cards and passes.

The whole process took several hours. During these hours, everyone didn't see a single living person. They were guided step by step by cold electronic sounds.

According to Hu Yue, if anyone among them was found to have a wrong identity or was impersonating a Zerg during this process, they would be shot dead by laser on the spot.

The reason why there were no soldiers here was also to avoid accidental injury.

"It's too strict here!"

Someone said that no matter what they were out doing, every time they came back, except for the place where they were given a pass and new identity information was entered, the other processes had to be gone through again.

"Of course, this is the border. Once strange things get mixed in, it's irresponsible to the star residents living here."

Hu Yue explained that the degree of freedom given to them here to go out and do things was quite high, but the things they had to do when they came back were just as important. For themselves, for their teammates, and for the star residents here, it should be so.

Everyone nodded in understanding and finally saw a living person when they reached the last step. A soldier without any military rank, looking at them with some nervousness on his face, stood at the door.

Someone recognized at a glance that the person standing at the door waiting for them was the senior who had come here earlier.

Mingmei looked at the difficulty on the other person's face when he saw such a large group of them, whose smile hadn't completely faded, and the pity that flashed in his eyes. At that moment, everyone present intuitively felt that their test seemed to be not over yet…
