Shadows of the Deep Space

Capítulo 1664: Chapter 534: Return Voyage (Part 3)

These days, he had been hoping for Bai Yuyi to appear, but it hadn’t shown up since that battle.

At this moment, Rhein walked up to Su Ming and said respectfully.

“Boss, the wreckage has been mostly salvaged, the ships are secured, and everything is ready.”

“Mm.”

Su Ming replied indifferently.

Rhein was silent for a moment, but finally spoke.

“We should leave.”

“Mm, let’s go.”

Su Ming sighed slightly and then stood up to say.

“Alright!”

Rhein nodded in agreement.

Su Ming and Rhein turned and walked toward the entrance of the Sunshine.

…

Doomed Light Central Control Room.

Li Menghan, Onite, and others saw Su Ming and Rhein walk in and called out one after another.

“Boss!”

“Mm, get ready to depart.”

Su Ming walked over and sat down on the command chair.

“Yes.”

Onite and the others responded somewhat reluctantly.

Although they had salvaged a vast amount of wreckage, stuffing the Grey Angel and the Sunshine to the brim, even so, there was still a lot of valuable wreckage in the battlefield left unsalvaged. Yet, reluctantly, they had to give up, as they could not fit more.

At this time, Li Menghan immediately issued an order.

“Broadcast to everyone, the Sunshine is about to return, everyone should prepare.”

“Yes!”

The operator immediately responded.

“Begin self-check now!”

Li Menghan continued to issue command after command.

Normally, setting sail shouldn’t be so troublesome, but since Onite had stuffed so much into the Sunshine, the whole ship was severely overloaded.

Therefore, before sailing, Li Menghan had to self-check all the ship’s circuits and equipment to prevent anything going wrong midway.

However, overloading in space wasn’t much of a problem, it’s just during superluminal flight, things might get a bit tricky. Fortunately, the Sunshine’s Superluminal Flight Device was excellent, so the problem wasn’t significant, as long as they didn’t land on a planet when reaching back to the Federation.

Soon, everything was ready.

Li Menghan turned her head to Su Ming and reported.

“General, we can depart now.”

“Depart.”

Su Ming sighed and replied in a deep voice.

“Yes!”

Just as Li Menghan was about to start the propulsion device, the Scanning Device suddenly popped up a gray dot, and a warning was triggered.

“Warning: An organism is approaching the Sunshine!”

Seeing the alert, Su Ming and the others were slightly taken aback.

Li Menghan immediately activated the Optical Device to display the image.

They saw a mecha drifting towards the Sunshine from a distance.

Su Ming looked at the slowly drifting mecha, and his expression slightly changed. This mecha was the fourth-generation High-level Customized Mecha · Fierce Light Messenger.

Rhein and others showed incredulous expressions at the sight of the floating mecha.

“Sir, should I go and tow the mecha over?”

Onite asked softly.

“No need, I’ll do it myself.”

Su Ming took a deep breath and left the Central Control Room.

Momentarily later.

The Sunshine opened an entry hatch, and Su Ming piloted Ilyas to the Fierce Light Messenger.

The entire cockpit of the Fierce Light Messenger had been destroyed, leaving only an exoskeleton suit and military clothing inside.

Su Ming turned his head to look around the starry sky but did not see the figure of Bai Yuyi, remaining silent for a few seconds.

Then he opened the cockpit, took out a redwood box, and pushed it into the starry sky, murmuring to himself.

“Rest assured, I’ll take this mecha and your belongings back.”

After saying this, Su Ming closed the cockpit, piloted Ilyas, and grabbed the Fierce Light Messenger, heading back towards the Sunshine.

…

Inside the Central Control Room of the Sunshine.

Rhein and others looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

At this time, Allu spoke to everyone.

“When Su Ming returns, let’s act as if nothing happened, and no one should ask any unnecessary questions.”

“Alright!”

Rhein and the others agreed one after another.

Before long, Su Ming walked into the Central Control Room and sat on the command chair.

“Master Su Ming, can we depart now?”

Li Menghan asked.

“Depart!”

Su Ming replied solemnly.

The propulsion device of the Sunshine activated, and the entire ship dragged the Grey Angel, driving away quickly from the battlefield ruins, entering a white mist.

At this moment, Li Menghan looked at Su Ming and asked.

“Where should we navigate, sir?”

“Little Grey, guide us!”

Su Ming said to Little Grey.

“Chi-chi~”

Little Grey extended its tiny paw to point in a direction.

Li Menghan and the others adjusted the ship’s course immediately, then proceeded at full speed, and soon the Sunshine completely vanished.

Within the battlefield remnants.

A solitary black box floated alone in the starry sky.

At this moment, Bai Yuyi’s figure slowly appeared, reached out to grab the redwood box and opened it, revealing a strange purple necklace.

…

———————————————-

Half a month later.

The Sunshine had activated stealth mode, towing the Grey Angel, covered by the Mechanical Octopus, to make a detour, navigating from the junction of the Mist Star Sea and wormhole space-time.

They returned to the Federation along the edges of the Danube Star Sea and Bright Star Sea.

Inside the Central Control Room.

Su Ming sat on the command chair, drinking hot coffee, maintaining the highest state of alert at all times.

Rhein and others stood by, cracking sunflower seeds and chatting leisurely.

“Finally, we’re on our way home!”

“I haven’t been back in years.”

“Yes, based on the time calculation, we’re almost there, just in time for the new year.”

…

At this time, Onite came over to Su Ming and others with a document, grinning.

“Sir, the tally of our wreckage spoils is finished.”
