The Seventh Base

Chapter 1127: Chapter 173: The Rendezvous

Chloe Star Province, Akron Star.

This planet has been affected by war, now engulfed in chaos, the government has been attacked, and the entire planet is in a state of disorder.

This is also the current situation of many planets of the republic. The war between the O’Brian Republic and the Kales Empire is escalating, affecting numerous planets, and countless people’s homes have been destroyed, leaving them homeless.

At this moment, in a dilapidated factory, many workers are busy operating and transporting machinery.

“Fanx, be careful, are your legs still okay?” A supervisor shouted at a middle-aged man who was working. The middle-aged man had mechanical limbs.

His limbs weren’t ruined in the war but rather in the post-war turmoil.

In today’s era, although technology is advanced, mechanical limb technology is very mature, even having advanced mechanical limbs that perfectly fit humans, indistinguishable from real ones.

However, not everyone can afford that.

The rapid development of technology is not actually a blessing for all humanity; on the contrary, it has even widened the gap between social classes.

Genetic Evolution Liquid, Advanced Equipment, Cultivation Resources, which of these doesn’t rely on money? As people at the bottom, how can they compete with those ‘Advanced Humans’ who use Genetic Evolution Liquid?

The vast majority of people at the bottom will always remain at the bottom, unable to change their fate.

Fanx is such a person at the bottom. In this factory, he is merely the lowest class worker, responsible for the most basic tasks.

But for him, this is already quite good. In this war-torn era, with crime syndicates everywhere, being able to find a job is already thanks to the foreman taking pity on him.

“No problem, still pretty sturdy,” Fanx patted his mechanical thigh and said, grinning with a hint of a silly smile.

“Good,” the foreman nodded, “That’s good, are your son and daughter okay? Are they getting enough to eat?”

Mentioning his children, Fanx’s smile became compassionate. Although his life could be considered ruined, his children are always a hope.

“Not bad, thanks to the foreman for accepting, next time I’ll invite the foreman for a drink,” Fanx said.

“You better save your salary to raise your kids,” the foreman said. Fanx scratched his head and said, “The factory’s treatment isn’t bad, there’s even some surplus.”

“You always have to save a little for later, with this situation, who knows what tomorrow will be like,” the foreman recalled the previous wartime scenes in his mind, sighing silently.

“The factory is high-grade stuff, has a special armed force, should be pretty stable, right?” Fanx said. As a low-level worker, he only has a general understanding of the factory, knowing it makes advanced equipment, which they can’t touch.

“Maybe,” the foreman nodded thoughtfully. Although he is a foreman, he is merely the head of basic workers and has no contact with the higher-ups.

“Boom…”

While they were talking, a loud noise came, and then both of their bodies were thrown out, hitting the ground hard.

In the air, a fully armed team directly attacked the core area of the factory, sweeping with weapons.

In an instant, it was a bloody mess, chaos everywhere.

Fanx fell to the ground and saw the armed factory squad rushing into the sky to fight those people, but the opponent’s firepower was too strong, soon forming suppression.

Several giant mechas charged out, terrifying power, launching a counterattack.

However, at this time, the opponent’s mecha team also appeared.

Fanx didn’t have time to pay attention to the battle over there, as armed squads were coming here, those fully armed, in black armor figures, wielding weapons and directly sweeping.

Huge fear surged, Fanx lay on the ground pretending to be dead, debris hit his body, his mechanical limbs were not very secure, directly knocked off, sending a wave of severe pain through his body.

He endured the pain, his mind echoing thoughts of his children, motionless, he couldn’t die.

But the next moment, a shadow shrouded his body, Fanx squinted his eyes open and saw a dark figure raising a weapon pointed at him.

Fanx’s wide eyes were filled with endless fear and attachment to life; his children still need him to raise them.

“Pu…” The black armored figure fired directly, shooting through Fanx’s head, his eyes still wide open, his attachment was not to his own life but his responsibility.

In the final moment before death, scenes of his children running under the sunset appeared in his mind, as he walked over, wrapping an arm around one, amidst laughter and joy.

In this damned world, even living like a rat, still unable to survive.

Some time later, the battle ended, and these people started cleaning the battlefield.

“Is everything cleaned up?”

“Not a single one left.”

“Did you find any useful information, the Blue Star Technology Group’s bases on other planets?” A voice questioned from the Mechanical Armor.

“No, they should not be in contact with each other, each planet is isolated.”

“It seems, there is still no useful information,” the leader said, “Retreat.”

As the words fell, the group swiftly retreated, trained and orderly, not like an ordinary crime syndicate.

……

Xu Mo received the news later on.

Now he has been staying at the Mystic God Temple, and neither Ross nor Ye Qingdie dares to leave Chloe Star easily. Compared to the military power of the Chloe Star Province, they are still too weak.

If they step out and get targeted, it is essentially a death sentence.

The last time they hunted in space, it was a pre-planned action, but they encountered that black warship and almost perished in space, which shows how powerful the opposing force is.

Therefore, the message first needs to be sent to Skull Star, and then from Skull Star to the Chiyou, only then can Xu Mo receive the information.

In the Mystic God Temple, Xu Mo withdrew from his cultivation state of spiritual power, a cold gleam flickering in his eyes.

According to the news sent back from Skull Star, the other party has escalated their operations on major planets, launching a frenzied hunt against the Blue Star Technology Group.

Moreover, it is no longer just suppressing Blue Star Technology Group.

It’s slaughter!

Once discovered, it’s collective slaughter, leaving none alive, which causes the news from Skull Star to be rather delayed.

The Tang Family is a top financial tycoon on Chloe Star, but clearly, they don’t have that much power within the Chloe Star Province. The Tang Family can’t manage it.

As for who has such capability to search and slaughter on major planets, there’s no need to think.

Besides the direct involvement of Chloe Star Province’s military forces, who else could possess such immense power?

The military power of the Chloe Star Province likely has bases on most planets, so when the military truly decides to kill, disaster befalls.

Xu Mo never expected the military would resort to slaughter.

Many of the Blue Star Technology’s staff at each planet’s base are civilians, ordinary people of the local planets. The military’s duty should be to protect their safety. Even if targeting Blue Star Technology Group, destroying the Blue Star Technology Group should suffice.

So, what kind of army is this?

With fists clenched tightly, an icy killing intent flickered in Xu Mo’s eyes.

……

In the deep and boundless space, the Chiyou Battleship was navigating through space.

In the warship control room, the carrier connected the communication with Skull Star.

“Captain,” Lincoln’s voice came through.

“Mr. Lincoln, Mr. Xu Mo has a message to convey,” the carrier spoke.

“Go ahead,” Lincoln replied humbly. He was always curious about the mysterious carrier, but he knew his curiosity should not be too strong.

“From now on, Blue Star Technology will move underground, no longer operating under the name of Blue Star Technology. Additionally, all future products will be updated and changed, breaking into smaller parts, with safety taking top priority.”

“Alright,” Lincoln nodded. The situation is different now, and he agreed with Xu Mo’s approach. Now is not the time for the group to build its reputation but to move underground first.

“How’s the training of the Transcendents going?” the carrier asked.

“According to plan, they are all selected from homeless people from Skull Star and various wartorn stars,” Lincoln responded. They started this plan a few years ago to train personnel.

They found homeless youths from Skull Star and major planets. These individuals had already suffered greatly and would hold gratitude towards them.

“Good, purchase high-quality Genetic Evolution Liquid and cultivate them step by step to help them grow,” the carrier continued.

“These people will be our future core power. Is Mr. Xu Mo still not considering training them as Deadpool?” Lincoln asked. He had suggested this to Xu Mo before but was rejected.

“Have we ever given them a choice?” the carrier asked.

“Yes,” Lincoln nodded. They had indeed asked the individuals when selecting them.

“If that’s the case, that’s enough. Just don’t let them know too much. Brainwashing will limit their development. Carefully cultivate them in all aspects, not just cultivation,” the carrier said. “Of course, as we give them new life and they enjoy these resources, they also have to pay a price. If there is betrayal, they should understand the consequences.”

“Understood,” Lincoln felt a deep sense of admiration. He had great respect for Xu Mo. In such situations, people would typically be trained to become Deadpool.

In the universe, it’s quite common.

“As for the Deadpool plan, it can also be executed, but the target candidates should be criminals,” the carrier continued.

“Alright,” Lincoln nodded. That was indeed an approach.

After the call ended, the carrier gazed ahead. To conquer the deep and boundless space, having enough people is the first requirement.

Technology, money, and people are all indispensable.

In the future, to expand the fleet, a large pool of talent will be needed.

In the space above, the Chiyou Battleship continued its voyage, and after an unknown passage of time, on the other side of space, a vast fleet advanced in grandeur, meeting with the Chiyou Battleship.

On the command ship, Commander Benjamin gazed ahead, feeling a surge within his heart.

The Chiyou Battleship and the Blue Star Fleet converged in space.

What follows will be a brand-new space journey.
