Section 41

“It’s alright, you’re not late either!”

“Yeah, from now on, everyone will be comrades on the same front, no need to be so polite!”

“Why don’t you rest up a bit before we set off?”

They were incredibly easy to talk to.

Their attitude was completely opposite to how they were before Xu Zi'an arrived.

Even their eyes were filled with doubt—

Why was this Captain, who looked like a great master, wearing such tattered space armor?

Could it be the eccentric behavior of a master?

Captain Zhang didn't say much, only stated in a stern, expressionless voice, “Since everyone is here, I’ll begin.”

Everyone quickly stood at attention, and Xu Zi'an also walked over to stand beside the group of externally hired Captains; the somewhat plump Captain next to him even gave Xu Zi'an a kind smile.

Captain Zhang continued, “We are Federal Army from the Red Moon Star Sector, Milky Way Star System, and Feiyu Star System of the Earth Federation.

Our current mission is to eradicate Interstellar Pirates within a 7.5 light-year radius outside the Feiyu Star System.

And we are the Fish Hawk Squad of the Ninth Brigade, Fifth Squadron of the Feiyu Star System Federal Army.

My name is Zhang Chengzhi, and I am the Captain of the Fish Hawk Squad. This is Liu Yun, our Squad’s Vice Captain.”

Liu Yun was the only Captain of a biological reconnaissance ship in the Fish Hawk Squad, an Intermediate biological reconnaissance ship. Her exact Rank was unknown, only that it was Intermediate.

She was also the only female in the Fish Hawk Squad, with a rather ordinary appearance and a rare resolute face shape for a woman.

She was very robust, with short hair, and at first glance, those who didn't know might mistake her for a man.

Captain Zhang then introduced the remaining squad members…

A total of fifteen people.

Because they were all mechanical reconnaissance ships, and the optimal crew for a mechanical reconnaissance ship was one Captain and two crew members.

Five mechanical reconnaissance ships meant fifteen people.

After the introductions were done.

Next was the mission assignment!

“In my squad, there is only one rule: obey orders unconditionally!”

“Since you have accepted this mission, I hope that you will not disobey orders when the time comes.”

“It’s one thing to get yourself killed, but you’ll also get our teammates killed!”

Captain Zhang finished speaking sternly and began the deployment: “Wu Jing, Captain of a seventh-tier biological reconnaissance ship.

Your Rank is the highest; you will follow beside me as the main starship for attack.”

The person named Wu Jing was a tall, thin, aloof middle-aged man. He was also the only one who hadn't greeted Xu Zi'an upon his arrival.

His arrogance was understandable.

After all, while everyone else had Intermediate or even low-Rank reconnaissance ships.

He was the only Advanced reconnaissance ship Captain, the second strongest person in the squad, and indeed had the capital for his arrogance.

After a round of assignments, it was finally Xu Zi'an’s turn.

Captain Zhang looked at Xu Zi'an and said indifferently, “Xu Zi'an, Captain of a first-tier biological reconnaissance ship.

Your strength is the lowest among us. If a fight breaks out…

You’ll perform harassment attacks from the rear, trying to avoid direct confrontation with the enemy.”

As Captain Zhang spoke.

Everyone turned to look at Xu Zi'an in unison.

Their eyes were filled with shock.

Chapter 36: The Reality Where Strength Reigns Supreme

A first-tier biological reconnaissance ship Captain?

Everyone was utterly shocked.

They suddenly realized something.

Xu Zi'an’s starship…

It must have evolved from a spaceship, right?

No wonder he was wearing such tattered space armor.

That explained everything.

No, why would a first-tier biological reconnaissance ship Captain come to join in the fun!

They were at least Intermediate biological reconnaissance ships!

Even the five mechanical reconnaissance ships of the Fish Hawk Squad were Intermediate!

Unbelievable!

The plump Captain next to Xu Zi'an froze, his smiling expression gone.

He looked at Xu Zi'an in utter shock for a long time, finally saying nothing and turning his head away, no longer speaking to Xu Zi'an.

Hmm…

The era of Universe Interstellar Great Voyage, where strength and starships reigned supreme.

It was just that realistic.

Xu Zi'an didn't care.

A first-tier biological reconnaissance ship…

That was because he hadn't updated his information.

Besides, the difference between first and second-tier wasn't that big, and it didn't directly affect mission acceptance.

As for Captain Zhang’s arrangements, Xu Zi'an had no objections.

To be honest, it was a bit risky for him to hunt Interstellar Pirates with his current strength. It was naturally best to be safer now.

When the fight started, he would just find an opportunity to engage, and it wouldn't affect anything.

Arrangements completed.

Captain Zhang waved his hand, “Everyone board your starships!

According to Federal intelligence, the small Interstellar Pirate gang, Black Raven Gang, carried out a raid at… an interstellar coordinate point three days ago.

Our first objective is to utterly sink this Black Raven Interstellar Pirate gang!”

“Yes!”

Everyone responded in unison.

Then they all rushed towards their starships.

Xu Zi'an also boarded his brilliant.

Throughout.

No one spoke another word to him.

As if the initial enthusiasm was just an illusion.

Xu Zi'an wouldn't care about such things; he only wanted Evolution Points! Evolution Points! Evolution Points!

And the parts from enemies after they were destroyed!

Speaking of which, the parts from enemy starships belonged to whoever destroyed them.

Therefore, in Xu Zi'an’s eyes, there was only one thing: kill pirates!

‘Boom—’

One starship after another, their engines started. Led by Zhang Chengzhi’s Osprey biological reconnaissance ship, assisted by Wu Jing’s Wu Jing and Vice Captain Liu Yun’s Changyun.

A total of thirteen mighty starships soared into the sky, their engine tails, like comet tails, leaving thirteen white navigation clouds from the evaporating engine energy.

Zhang Chengzhi also connected with the communications of their six externally hired starships, marking the route and destination on the star map.

Breaking through the thick atmosphere of this unknown planet, they rushed into space.

One starship after another adjusted their direction, locked onto the navigation channel, and entered the Pulse Jump phase one by one.

The distance from here to the target location was a total of 1.78 light-years.

Xu Zi'an would need to perform one full-distance Pulse Jump and one short-distance Pulse Jump, a total of two jumps, to reach it.
