ion and then left the Intelligence Department."Sir, I still have doubts about Wu Lianyi!"Elaine said unwillingly.I know, because you think she has problems, you want to keep her under your close watch...At first, Du Zi Feng didn't pay much attention. After all, this kind of thing had happened before. Lian Yi wasn't using the mech every day. The week before, the other party had asked about the reassembly of mechs every day, saying they wanted to save resources and piece together scrapped mechs for reuse after reassembling them.
So, they usually kept in touch every day, and he was pretty busy himself. Sometimes when he missed a video call, he'd get a text from Lianyi, but this time there wasn't any message for three days straight.
He called Lian Yi on video, but the other party didn't answer. His messages also seemed to have sunk like stones into the sea. This made Du Zifeng frown and prepare to call Ouyang, the teacher leading the team, on video. Just then, Fannie cheerfully spoke up:
"Master, Young Master Lian has sent a message!"
"Open me."
Yes!
After reading the message, Du Zifeng stood up abruptly and immediately ordered:
"Finnie, have the hovercar take me to the institute's entrance. You help me request leave from the institute. I need to go home now."
"Yes, master!"
Fannie's voice was serious.
Five minutes later, Du Zifeng hurriedly got on the hovercar. The hovercar darted out with almost no pause, speeding towards General Du's mansion at the fastest possible speed.
“Master, if Young Master Lian’s message is true, they are now trapped on the ZJWL orbital station. The station has only three thousand troops, one-third of whom are non-combat personnel. The pirates currently outnumber them three to one. They can only defend and cannot organize an effective counterattack.”
According to the message from the young master, he should have entered a breakout group and left the pirate encirclement before sending the message. However, when Fannie called back, Ian didn't reply. Fannie speculated that they were again intercepted by pirates and their signal was blocked.
Fannie considered all possible scenarios in the shortest amount of time and made a rough estimate based on the information she had.
"This is the worst-case scenario. If they keep being tracked and without enough supplies, they'll be caught eventually."
Du Zifeng frowned.
"Master, what should we do now"
"Contact my big brother!"
"Yes, master!"
It took a full three minutes for Du Zixian's video call to connect.
"Big brother, something happened with Lian! Did you receive the message"
"Got it! He also sent you a message"
Du Zixian asked.
"Yes, they are currently surrounded by pirates. The situation is urgent, and they also vaguely mentioned their classmate Hill, who seems to have an unusual identity!"
Du Zi Feng immediately asked.
"Yes, this is probably why they were surrounded."
Du Zixian didn't say much, but Du Zifeng already understood. It was just that now wasn't the time to ask about the other person's identity.
"What's the Imperial side's plan"
“We're contacting other moons near the ZJWL planet to get them to support ZJWL star, but the situation isn't looking good at the moment.”
Du Zixian did not hide the fact that he had a younger brother.
"What does that mean"
The three satellites closest to ZJWL haven't responded, I don't know what's going on over there.
Upon hearing this, Du Zifeng's heart sank. This wasn't simply a lack of optimism; it was truly bad news.
"Have you contacted other star systems"
"I've contacted them. Communication is smooth, and we can reach the ZDWL planet. They are heading to support ZJWL planet, but it will take at least eight days."
This is also Du Zixian's headache.
"Will it still be in time when they arrive to support us"
Du Zi Feng asked directly.
"I hope they can hold on until then."
"When Lian Yi left this time, I equipped him with a fourth-generation mecha. Although it was a test mecha, its performance was the same as an official one. As long as he was quick-witted enough, he would definitely be able to come back alive."
Du Zifeng hinted.
"I wish I could meet with him, but according to the message he sent back, he's acting with a squad that broke through and is seeking reinforcements. They've already left ZJWL planet and are heading towards the nearest planet to seek support."
But the three planets nearby went offline, they didn't just walk into a trap!
But Lianyi's communication has been cut off, we can't send the message over. Now the ZDWL planet has gathered spaceships and set out to support them. Hopefully, they will encounter each other on the way.
"This probability"
Du Zifeng is not optimistic.
"Zi Feng, Wu Yishan's video call has come in. You go back and comfort your father and mother first. I will send you a message if there is any news here."
Immediately, Du Zixian hung up the video call. He still had to deal with Wu Yishan. Currently, only his Du family, the Presidential Office, and the First Military Academy knew about this matter. He didn't know where Wu Yishan got the news from.
As expected, as soon as the video call connected, Wu Yishan frowned and asked,
Where is Lian Yi now Why can't I get in touch with him
"Lian Yi went to a mecha practice activity at school with his classmates. As for the specific location, you can ask his academy. It's not like you haven't been unable to reach Lian Yi for days! Why are you just asking me today Don't tell me it's because Lian Yi has put you on his ignore list!"
Du Zixian's words were very sharp, and he didn't bother to argue with Wu Yishan. He was currently gathering people and needed to break the deadlock as quickly as possible. He didn't have time to argue with Wu Yishan, so after speaking, he hung up the video call cleanly and decisively.
Qi's Wu moved his head back in a daze. This made him even more certain that something had happened to Lian. He remained silent for a moment before immediately calling for his confidant and arranging things one by one. Perhaps this was an opportunity to mend the relationship between father and son.
Du Zifeng returned to the Du family and went straight to see his father, without disturbing his mother.
"Father, Lien has gotten into trouble. Do you know"
"I got the message, and you received it too."
"Well, Big Brother is handling it. Let me come back and take charge. Mother she..."
She doesn't know, don't tell her for now. I'm afraid she won't be able to handle it. Yiyi is already gone. If even her last bloodline were to disappear, your mother would feel even more guilt.
General Du sighed.
"Father, this situation happened suddenly, but we must believe in Lian Yi, he can save himself."
Lian Yi, who had been on the Du family's mind, had already persuaded Shawn and changed the spaceship's direction, heading towards SFWL planet. This time they took a detour, and with ripples of divine consciousness scouting the way, it took them three days to reach the outer edge of the planet.
Sean was very cautious. He sent out unmanned scout mechs to investigate the perimeter.
An hour later, the reconnaissance mech sent back a message:
"Captain, according to the mech's scans, SFWL planet has increased its defenses and activated a shield. If we don't reveal our identity, getting in will be difficult."
"Who are they guarding against Us How did they know we were coming"
Sean's second-in-command questioned him with a puzzled look.
It wasn't us, it must have been the space pirates!
Her brow furrowed in a deep crease. This band of space pirates was truly cunning, and even if they managed to break free, requesting reinforcements wouldn't be a smooth process.more now.""Shut up, jump down, or I'll make you!"The man spoke forcefully.Ripples' eyes darkened, and she immediately jumped down. Then, accompanied by her scream, there was no movement for a long tim...
