Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 87: Military Action Chen Ming's Response


The squad leader of the military team who walked into the room directly announced that Tian Jiwen had woken up.

This stirred a wave of panic in Tian Jiwen's heart. His hands, tied behind the chair, instinctively struggled, but the rope was very strong and there was no way to break free.

"He's really awake."

The two who had been guarding him immediately approached.

One of them reached out, grabbed Tian Jiwen's hair, and lifted his head up.

When Tian Jiwen saw their faces, his eyes widened.

"You... were the ones asking about the spaceship at the repair factory."

The one holding Tian Jiwen's hair curled his lips into a smile, released his hair, and said, "You remember us, not bad. I suppose you remember other things just as well?"

"You're looking for that person and kidnapped me. Aren't you afraid the Administration will cause trouble for you?"

The squad leader who had just entered suddenly pulled back a corner of the window curtain, allowing Tian Jiwen to see that the hotel he was in was quite close to the Administration Building.

"Why don't you guess why we're not afraid."

As he spoke, he let the curtain fall back down and said, "Speak honestly, and you'll suffer less."

Tian Jiwen couldn't help but swallow hard.

However, a team member near the door whispered to his teammate next to him, "The captain is indeed the captain; he can come up with such a reason out of any hotel room booking."

"Indeed."

Tian Jiwen naturally couldn't hear the team members mocking the captain.

He only knew that he was like fish on a chopping block, and his life was his own.

So Tian Jiwen didn't struggle and directly said, "I'll tell you where the ship is, but do you have a terminal that can access the Space Station website?"

The squad leader reached out and showed him a terminal already displaying the Space Station website page.

Tian Jiwen continued, "Open the forum and scroll back. You should be able to see a trending thread with a video."

When the video of Chen Ming controlling an Iron Ore No. taking on four ships played before the military team's eyes.

They all fell silent for a moment.

Tian Jiwen, seeing their reaction, suddenly said nervously, "Is this the ship?"

Although the ship in the video looked almost exactly like the missing Iron Ore No., except for its color being slightly different.

But the operational performance made it difficult for the military to dismiss the possibility of coincidence outright.

However, at this point, the squad leader couldn't show this doubt, so he continued, "Alright, where is it now?"

"It was taken out, and I heard it would return today or tomorrow."

"The person piloting the ship is called Mu Shuikong, now an employee at the repair factory."

"Oh, and the ship has been modified again."

"What was modified?"

"Mu Shuikong spent nearly ten million at the repair factory to install a militarized system and modified the appearance a bit as well."

"Modified the appearance?"

"Yes, but I can't say exactly how it was modified."

The squad leader already had a rough idea in his mind, but to be sure, he continued to ask, "Do you have a photo of him?"

"No, the first time I saw him, he was wearing a Protective Suit, and he's never taken it off."

"Do you know the specific day he came to the Space Station?"

"I do. It should have been his first time, and as soon as he entered the repair factory, he came to ask me and my colleague questions, so I remember it."

Tian Jiwen couldn't help but glance at the team member who had previously asked him questions and provided a date.

The squad leader looked at the team member holding a computer in his arms.

Receiving a response from the member: "Pretty close, just slightly off, almost matches up."

"Alright."

The squad leader standing next to Tian Jiwen suddenly punched him unconscious to prevent him from hearing the subsequent discussion.

"Then it's settled, this Mu Shuikong is Chen Ming."

"What Mu Shuikong, I'd rather be called empty jellyfish."

"Get ready. We'll move on him when he comes back."

The team member who had spoken noticeably more than the others asked somewhat surprised, "Really going to catch him?"

The squad leader frowned and said, "I said vacation, did you really think it was a vacation? If it's found out that Chen Ming is here, we might not even be able to save our own necks."

Another team member, although knowing the severity of not completing the mission, added, "But Chen Ming has now joined the repair factory, making things difficult with the Administration employees involved."

"Moreover, we don't know if Sinda over there is aware of Chen Ming's situation. Don't forget, this Space Station is sponsored by Sinda. If they are determined to protect Chen Ming, it will be hard for us to find an opportunity."

"Plus, there are rules at the Pirate Space Station. We can't easily use some methods."

The talkative team member pounded the door frame beside him and said, "Why are there such rules at the Pirate Space Station? Why do we have to follow them?"

"If you ask me, just bring the warships and make them hand him over. Would cut all the crap."

The squad leader couldn't help but slam the wall beside him and said, "Xia Chao! What are you thinking?"

"If the army here dares to block the Space Station's door today, then other checkpoints will dare to do the same tomorrow."

"You think the Space Stations that companies spent money on can be threatened just like that?"

"Use some common sense to know that doing something that provokes public anger is not an option."
