Jiang Ci arrived at a room furnished with several sophisticated pieces of equipment.
Inside, Ling Xinglan was leading several people, copying data from those devices non-stop.
Seeing that they wouldn't finish anytime soon, Jiang Ci frowned slightly but didn't urge them on.
He turned and leaned against the wall, gently closing his eyes and waiting quietly.
He hadn't closed his eyes to rest for a single moment since Bai Mianmian fell into the wormhole.
The information he uncovered based on the clues provided by Zhong Jingfeng was even more shocking and massive than he had anticipated.
So after leaving Star D7, he was either reviewing and integrating intelligence reports from various sources or coordinating manpower and making strategic deployments.
The reason he dared not stop for even a moment was that he was determined to find the method Zhong Jingfeng had mentioned that could control the opening of the wormhole as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, so far, not a single useful message has been sent back.
Time passed slowly, and after an unknown amount of time, Jiang Ci stopped stroking his wedding ring and slowly opened his closed eyes. He heard hurried footsteps coming from the road he had come from.
Not long after, Luo Ziyu appeared at the door.
The moment he stepped into the room, his gaze swept quickly over Ling Xinglan and the others inside, before settling on Jiang Ci, who was leaning against the door not far away.
Luo Ziyu stopped abruptly and reported to him with a serious expression, "Boss, the team members have assembled and are ready to depart at any time."
"Hmm." Jiang Ci's guard, which had been raised by the sound of footsteps, dissipated when he saw that it was him. He responded lightly and glanced at Ling Xinglan and the others who were still busy.
Seeing this, Luo Ziyu also looked at the people inside. Seeing that they were still busy, he did not make a sound to disturb them and waited quietly with Jiang Ci.
After a long while, Ling Xinglan, who was staring seriously at the rapidly flowing data on the screen, suddenly changed his expression and his hands suddenly increased the speed at which he tapped on the terminal screen, so fast that it was almost impossible to see his movements.
"Crackling and sizzling..." Just then, several electric arcs and sparks suddenly appeared on the instrument from which he was copying data.
Ling Xinglan decisively severed the connection between the terminal and the device, and while retreating, he suddenly shouted, "Boss!"
"Whoosh—!" Almost the instant he spoke, a tiny ice needle pierced through the air and approached.
The instant the spark appeared, Jiang Ci, who was leaning against the wall, lifted his eyelids, raised his right hand, and an ice needle suddenly formed in the air. Then, under his command, it shot forward.
"Ding!" The ice needle pierced deeply into the equipment where the electric arc sparks were becoming increasingly intense.
"Crack crack crack... snap..." The ice, centered on the ice needle, instantly swept outwards.
In the blink of an eye, the device that was violently spewing electric arcs and sparks was frozen solid, and even the electric arcs and sparks were instantly frozen, condensing into ice flowers.
Following this device, other devices that were having their data copied also emitted sparks, crackling and popping...
The people who were copying this data immediately disconnected the terminal from the device and shouted as they backed away, "Boss!"
"Boss!"
Jiang Ci's eyes narrowed slightly. Several ice needles instantly condensed around him and then shot forward at his command, "Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
"Ding ding ding..." The ice needles pierced the equipment one after another, and then ice quickly spread across the equipment, "Crack... crack crack crack..."
In no time, the equipment in the room was frozen into large blocks of ice, and the sparks that were flying off stopped.
"Phew~ You scared me half to death." Someone patted their chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Me too, I thought the device was going to explode," another person said with a relieved tone. Jiang Ci ignored the group of people who were breathing a sigh of relief and looked at Ling Xinglan, asking, "How are you?"
Ling Xinglan, who was frowning as she looked at her terminal screen, looked up at Jiang Ci and said dejectedly, "It still doesn't work. The data about opening the wormhole is too fragmented."
Jiang Ci seemed to have anticipated this outcome, and responded with an unchanged expression, "Mm."
He then straightened up and said to the people in the room, "Pack your things. In five minutes, we'll leave here for the next outpost."
"Yes!" The group, who were initially relieved that the equipment hadn't exploded, immediately straightened up and answered.
Five minutes later, Jiang Ci took the lead, followed closely by Ling Xinglan and the others, while Luo Ziyu trailed at the back of the group.
Although the area has been cleared of danger, no one can guarantee that there won't be any accidents.
Ling Xinglan and her group are all highly skilled professionals, and none of them can afford to be lost, so it is still necessary for Luo Ziyu to cover their retreat.
The group swiftly emerged from the underground building and saw a small warship parked in the open space; it was the warship that had come to pick them up.
Meanwhile, the Second Legion's aircraft carrier was hovering outside the atmosphere of D9, like a dark cloud looming overhead.
The small warship carrying Jiang Ci and his group took off, passed through the atmosphere, and finally came to rest at the docking position of the Second Legion's aircraft carrier.
Before long, the Second Legion's carrier battleship, which had been hovering outside the atmosphere of D9, started up and disappeared into the starry sky in the blink of an eye.
Let's get back to the Marais system.
Bai Mianmian used explosive mushrooms to blast a path through the butterfly insect swarm, protecting Xin Xiao and the others as they advanced.
But at that moment, she suddenly realized that the people following behind her were closing the distance between them.
Actually, Bai Mianmian noticed them as they followed.
However, since the two sides were far enough apart, and she wasn't so domineering as to forbid people from leaving in that direction, she ignored them.
But now, those people are clearly trying to take advantage of her blowing up the passage.
That wasn't all; their scrutinizing and calculating gazes fell upon her one after another, which inevitably displeased Bai Mianmian.
"What's your relationship with those people behind you?" Bai Mianmian asked Pan Cheng, who was standing not far from her.
If there were no connection, she wouldn't be so polite to those people.
Although Bai Mianmian was clearing the way, Pan Cheng remained on high alert as the butterfly insectoids continued to charge forward.
Upon hearing her words, he paused for a moment, then turned to look at her.
After confirming that she was asking him, Pan Cheng, though unsure why she asked, honestly replied, "It's nothing. If I had to say, we're competitors."
"Then it's okay if I kill them, right?" Bai Mianmian said this very casually, as if she were saying, "The weather is really nice today."
As she said this, she began to manipulate the mushroom spores floating in the air behind her.
“Uh…” Pan Cheng was speechless for a moment after hearing her words.
Bai Mianmian was about to take action when she saw his hesitant expression, so she stopped what she was doing and asked him, "What's wrong?"
Seeing that Bai Mianmian seemed willing to listen to his opinion, Pan Cheng said somewhat embarrassedly, "Could we... let them die at the hands of the Butterfly Insect Clan?"
