Chapter 261: Openly and Obviously

lation lightning bolt.Now the ripples didn't know how to respond. After thinking for a moment, she directly said:"Lu Yao's visit to Ziyungong this time was indeed somewhat disrespectful, but I have my...Anne, after hearing Hongtu's account, had already formed a guess in her mind. After organizing her thoughts, she outlined the pirates' plan.

Ringlets nodded in agreement with Anne's analysis, then said:

"For our safety, the Major let us enter the base center while Mr. Ou Yang stayed behind to protect us. Major Nace arranged for other personnel to board that spaceship and infiltrate the enemy's interior, finding the lair of the space pirates. That counts as a meritorious deed."

"What a let down, I thought we could pull off the infiltration mission ourselves!"

Hill mumbled.

"Please remember your identity, don't do anything out of line. You are only here to practice, other matters are beyond your capabilities."

Mr. Ou Yang appeared in the hall where everyone was gathered at some point, and his words stifled their impractical ideas.

"Mr. Ou-yang, is there truly nowhere we can help"

"Yes! Teacher."

"Teacher, we can do it."

Students eagerly volunteered, chattering amongst themselves.

Only by forcefully cutting off the chatter could Ouyang say, bluntly:

This is real combat. Based on your performance in the simulated environment, you would have been killed within three rounds if you were deployed to the battlefield. Don't let the illusion of your own excellence cloud your judgment and lead you to make irrational decisions.

A basin of cold water was poured down, and everyone fell silent.

"Our class, Hongtu and Kate's mock battle got full marks."

Hill whispered resentfully, but everyone heard.

"Yes, you also said that only the two of them scored full marks. Are you planning to push the two of them to the front and have them pave the way for you Is the fight their business"

Okay, this time Hill didn't speak either. They have no face to do such things.

Ou Yang was very satisfied with the outcome of his forceful suppression. These children were too excellent, having heard too many praises in the past, some setbacks were necessary, at least it could let them see the reality and get rid of some impetuousness.

"Without my permission, you are not allowed to run around. You must stay here, this is an order!"

With a single command from OuYang, everyone responded immediately.

On the other side, reinforcements for Sean's mech troops arrived, returning to base with a heavily damaged patrol unit.

OuYang pressed down on the restless student and hurried to check on Sean's condition.

When he arrived at the infirmary, he saw Shawn being carried into the treatment pod. OuYang's eyes darkened, and he immediately stepped forward and asked:

How is Sean doing How are his teammates doing

Captain Shawn was the most seriously injured. He kept covering our retreat, buying us time to escape. If it weren't for reinforcements arriving in time, I'm afraid...

A battle-scarred mech soldier, his eyes bloodshot, spoke.

"We sent out rescue signals in the middle of the night, why did it take so long to send support"

He then turned his head and asked the other officer.

"Your distress signal was jammed. If it weren't for that test assembly mech, you might not have made it back."

The officer clearly didn't want to talk about the presence of spies at the base here, so he skillfully shifted the focus of the questioning.

"The mecha saved me from a fatal blow, allowing me to hold out until the rescue arrived."

The injured mecha warrior speaks the truth.

"It's precisely because your mecha suffered severe damage that the mecha automatically sent the data back to the central AI. My student found something amiss and immediately went to find your superior, which is how support could be dispatched. Now, I just hope Shawn is alright."

Ouyang explained in a low voice.

After hearing Ouyang's explanation, the mecha soldier was very fortunate that he chose to test drive the new mecha during his patrol. Because of this, the new mecha's data had not been officially linked with the central hub, so the damaged data was transmitted back to the group of students' neural implants. Otherwise, the situation would have been dire.

"Don't worry, because of the organic armor's protection and Sean's own good physique, he should be able to recover in two days. He is currently recovering in the treatment chamber, and you also need to go for a check-up and treatment."

The military doctor was speaking to the wounded mech pilot.

And you all, don't stay here and disturb my treatment. I'll let you know if there's anything.

The military doctor waved his hand, dismissing everyone who was gathered around the medical room.

Ou-yang learned that Shawn was stable and finally felt a little relieved. He went back to tell the children the news.

The crisis at the base has been temporarily resolved. Now, all that's left is for the renegade ship to take the mech troops to the pirate hideout. Once they locate the hideout, the base can launch an attack and this crisis will finally be over.

All the members of Class A were gathered together; no one wanted to be alone at this time. Ripples, meanwhile, was scrolling back and forth on Zhi Nao, looking over all the information Ian had compiled. He always felt like he was missing something.

"Hongtu, you have your eyebrows furrowed so tightly, is there something wrong"

After Anne came and sat down beside Ripple, she asked.

"Everything went too smoothly, from discovering the mole to figuring out the pirate's motives, and then dodging their traps. We managed to escape twice."

So

"This isn't over."

Liàn yǐ said thoughtfully.

Meanwhile, the sirens at the base sounded again:

"Alarm! Alarm! Enemy attack detected, all personnel to battle stations and prepare for combat!"

The broadcast voice repeated twice before stopping, but the alarm continued to blare.

The ripples were almost an unconscious release of one's divine consciousness. As a result, a massive spaceship was found hovering at the outskirts of the ZJWL star base. The prominent skull emblem on its surface confirmed their identity. At this moment, a variety of mechs flew out from the spaceship and launched an attack.

The station's defensive shield rose again, repelling the pirate spacecraft's beam cannon attacks. In response, the station deployed its mechs, and a formal battle commenced.

Ripple's brow was furrowed tightly. This star station wasn't a fortress, yet these pirates were relentlessly pursuing it. Their purpose was obvious.

"I can't get in touch with home!"

Hill exclaimed.

After being reminded, the friends all pulled out their contact lists and began trying to reach Blue Star's family and friends. Moments later, they received the same result.

"Give it up, the network communications here have definitely been tampered with. Otherwise, Captain Sean's distress signal wouldn't have been blocked."

A cold light flashed in Kate's eyes, and she said faintly.

What should we do now

"Just wait, Teacher OuYang will make arrangements."

Kate said.

After a moment's thought, LianYi asked everyone:

"Have you told your family about the news that we're going to ZJWL planet for practical experience"

"We definitely will be doing practical work. After all, we're all minors and can't leave Blue Star without our parents' consent. However, as for the specific location of the practical training, Mr. OuYang said that for our safety, it needs to remain confidential."

Anne's voice grew quieter and quieter.

That is to say, besides Mr. OuYang and the school, no one knows the specific location of our practice.

"No, that's not right! What about the people stationed here!"

Kate's eyes immediately turned dangerous.

"If we can't send out distress signals now, aren't we trapped here"

Hill said it unconsciously.tivation resources, he even disguised himself as a merchant and traveled between various demon tribes.Through trading, he exchanged his human-crafted pills and small magical artifacts for some rare an...
