With Hu Mingli's guarantee, Mingmei and Mu Chen's transfer went smoothly.

As the two of them left the group, they happened to be noticed by Hu Yue, who had just arrived. Seeing that their direction was the opposite of everyone else's, she couldn't help but step forward to ask.

"Nothing, just different mission arrangements."

Mu Chen said, then looked at Hu Yue and asked, "Are you and Li Yuan doing well? The upcoming battles should be very difficult."

"We're fine. A Yuan isn't going to the battlefield." Hu Yue waved her hand, seemingly unconcerned, but a trace of worry flashed in her eyes. Mingmei and Mu Chen saw it and exchanged a look.

"He's not going to the battlefield, but you are," Mingmei pointed out. "Even if Li Yuan is below, he'll still worry about you. You need to protect yourself."

Mingmei stared at Hu Yue seriously. She had never imagined that one day, because of the war, half of her contact list would be blacked out.

"I know, I know~ What about you two..."

Seeing Mingmei's serious instructions, Hu Yue couldn't help but laugh, then returned Mingmei's words to her.

"You and Mu Chen also need to be careful when carrying out your mission. I don't want Lu Xiaoyao to be crying to me..."

Although her tone was humorous, the worry in Hu Yue's eyes didn't diminish at all.

"I know, don't worry. Everyone, let's go!"

Mingmei raised her hand and bumped fists with Hu Yue in the air. The two smiled at each other, and Hu Yue nodded vigorously. Then, she stood in place, staring blankly at their departing figures.

She had a nagging feeling that something bad was about to happen…

Canglan Starfield, border mining star.

"Thank you!"

Wang Wenfei and the other survivors of the Fifth Legion bowed deeply to a group of robots.

"You're welcome~ It's our job. Madam also instructed us to treat all customers well, especially since you're here to buy an energy star~"

The robot butler's display screen showed a simulated human face with a kind smile as it explained, "You were originally here to buy energy crystals from us anyway~"

"This…" Wang Wenfei suddenly remembered that when they crossed the starfield guarded by the Fourth Legion, they had given the reason that they were buying energy crystals.

So it really existed?

Wang Wenfei looked at the senior beside her. The senior nodded, tacitly acknowledging that their legitimate reason for coming here was real and could be investigated.

"In any case, we still need to thank you for your help."

These robots had indeed helped the Fifth Legion too much. No matter the reason, they should be thanked.

"Are you still going to rescue others?" The robot butler looked at them, seeing that they were about to leave, and recalled the information it had received, so it tried to persuade them to stay. "Our madam said that it's not advisable for you to participate in the war right now. Those Zerg are extraordinarily strong."

"How can we stop and retreat because of danger or difficulty?" Although the robot's words made sense, as soldiers, if they only wanted to save their own lives, they could abandon this identity and take on an ordinary profession.

"But it's not good to throw your lives away for nothing either?"

The robot butler tried to persuade them with a wronged expression, unable to understand why these people were so stubborn.

From the initial rescue to the subsequent repair of mechs and starships, they had used delaying tactics. Now that they had spoken so plainly, the other party still seemed unmoved.

"Who said we're throwing our lives away for nothing?"

Wang Wenfei wasn't happy to hear that. They had only underestimated the strength of their opponents and everything had happened too quickly.

This time they were prepared, and if they could contact the others outside, the outcome was still uncertain!

"Don't you guys… not have internet access?"

Seeing their confident expressions, the robot butler couldn't help but ask a seemingly simple but very important question.

"Isn't the signal blocked here?" Wang Wenfei said quietly. They wanted to contact the outside world, like to report their safety.

But, from the beginning to the end, they couldn't get online.

Robot butler: …

It had forgotten that it had "cut off their internet cable" _(：3」∠)_

"You know something, don't you?"

The robot butler wouldn't have reminded them about going online for no reason.

Something must have happened here, but unfortunately they hadn't been able to receive any news because there was no network signal.

Hearing the robot butler's question made them even more anxious and eager to go out and see.

However, after being asked by Wang Wenfei, the robot butler's electronic display screen went black.

It didn't know how to answer.

Although the current situation might make them think twice and not leave so impulsively.

But, similarly, how should it explain?

The network signal was just "unstable", but now that they were reminded to check the internet, the network signal was fine.

Everyone would suspect it was its fault, right?

"Well, actually… I believe that if you had internet access, you would regret your impulsiveness when you saw the current situation."

The robot butler said this in a plausible manner.

"So you know because you went online? Huh, why can you go online but we can't?"

Wang Wenfei directly spotted the blind spot. Two consecutive questions almost burned out the robot butler's CPU.

"Ah… this, this, how should I explain this? Well… I'm different from you. The network for us intelligent AIs isn't the same as your channels."

The robot butler realized that lying was really difficult!

Especially for someone who wasn't good at lying!

"Because the channels are different, you can't get online but we can."

"Then can you help us get online too?"

The Fifth Legion members asked eagerly.

"Since you're so insistent, it's not impossible."

The robot butler, who was still struggling to find a reason, suddenly received a reasonable request from everyone.

Then it was natural for everyone to restore the network later.

Realizing this, the robot butler pretended to say, "Wait a moment while I analyze whether your signal source can be unified and synchronized with our intelligent AI's signal source. Well… then you can get online and contact the outside world."

The robot butler hoped that they would think twice about supporting Qilan Star after seeing the information.

It would be best if they were scared and didn't go directly.

Then it would be more cost-effective to go back and pull in reinforcements.

Madam wasn't here, so it had to rely on itself for these things.

Thinking this, the robot butler quickly restored everyone's network.

What it never expected was that Wang Wenfei and the others didn't report their safety to the Fifth Legion immediately. Instead, they expressed to the Sixth Legion that they were still alive and could provide support at any time.

Thus, the robot butler, who was supposed to be waiting for them to set off directly back to the Fifth Legion, unexpectedly heard a fact that it couldn't accept at all.

"What?! Why are you still going to rescue them!"

Carelessly, it even blurted out an accent that it didn't know where it had learned.
