I Just Wanted to Be a Galactic Hunter—Why Am I on the Wanted List? Chapter 31: Follow-up

As the captain, the muscular man launched his attack and successfully took down one of the firing positions.

The other mbers of the squad naturally weren't willing to fall behind.

In the sky.

Several ice spikes radiating chilling cold appeared.

Once ford, the ice spikes shot directly toward the prison guards on the outer wall.

Any guard touched by these ice spikes, even if only grazed with a minor wound, instantly turned into a block of ice emitting freezing cold.

Inside the ice blocks were the frozen prison guards.

The expressions of terror were still visible on their faces.

After seeing his teammate's ice spikes eliminate most of the defending guards, the muscular captain looked at the tragic scene on the prison's outer wall and couldn't help but sigh:

"Psychics sure are convenient. I worked myself to death just taking out one firing position, and with one move, he wiped them all out."

After the muscular man's lant, a team mber with a refined appearance flew to his side to comfort him:

"Captain, don't dwell on it. Number Two still can't beat you. That move is only effective against ordinary people."

The muscular man gave him a disdainful glance. "You can't beat anyone, so of course you have no pressure."

Imdiately after, the muscular man began directing the remaining mbers to clean up the battlefield.

"Number Three, check if any guards are playing dead and eliminate them."

"Yes."

"Number Four, maintain vigilance."

"Yes, Captain!"

Soon, the young man called Number Three returned.

"None left. I just finished checking—they're all dead. Number Two's thods are truly ruthless."

The muscular man nodded.

"Let's go! Into the prison to et this mysterious psychic."

The group of six jumped down from the prison's outer wall and swaggered confidently toward the interior.

The bodies left on the outer wall would naturally be handled by others.

This squad's mission was only to capture the prison; everything else was beyond their responsibility.

After the six-person team departed, a dium-sized spacecraft bearing the Federation Energy Departnt's emblem landed outside the prison.

The spacecraft's door slowly lowered.

The Energy Departnt's cleanup team filed out in two columns from the open door.

They first sealed off the entire prison, then began processing the corpses on the walls.

The guards' bodies were expertly packaged, packed, and transported away.

These completely frozen corpses were themselves a form of biological energy.

After the packaged bodies were loaded onto the spacecraft, the cleanup team all returned aboard.

The spacecraft then imdiately took off, leaving the area and heading out of the resource planet.

After the spacecraft departed, another large spacecraft with the Federation Energy Departnt's emblem descended from the sky and landed outside the prison.

The door opened and lowered.

The Energy Departnt's crisis response personnel similarly filed out through the lowered door.

These newly arrived personnel quickly divided into three groups.

The familiar scene repeated itself—one group first sealed off the entire prison.

Another group skillfully set up a simple platform outside the prison.

This platform would later be used to announce the latest investigation results to Federation dia.

The final group, which was the largest, all remained on standby.

After completing the tasks of sealing the prison and setting up the platform, the two groups rged, leaving only a small number of people to surround the prison.

The rest, together with those on standby, all boarded the convenient combat vehicles carried by the large spacecraft and headed toward Clear Mine City.

No one could steal Federation mineral resources and challenge the Energy Departnt's authority.

Unless they were willing to pay with their lives.

These people were going to Clear Mine City to carry out judgnt and cleansing.

Anyone connected to this incident would undergo strict investigation.

Anyone involved would face severe judgnt.

After the Energy Departnt's main force departed, several spacecraft from different news dia simultaneously landed outside this maximum-security prison.

These ubiquitous reporters were like hounds following a scent.

They arrived on this resource planet right after the Energy Departnt personnel.

"Stealing Federation mineral resources."

"Killing Energy Departnt investigators."

"Smuggling chas."

"Abducting Federation citizens."

Each of these incidents was worthy of extensive coverage.

And when all these incidents converged, it ant a major news story was about to break.

These news dia outlets would spare no expense to obtain firsthand information.

The Federation citizens' right to know was sacred and inviolable!

As for the incident about "thugs maliciously killing Energy Departnt investigators," these news dia outlets had also uncovered it through their undisclosed information channels.

After all, with so many people in the Energy Departnt, soone was bound to leak so non-critical information.

For the current Federation Energy Departnt, who actually stole the mineral resources no longer mattered.

What mattered more was maintaining the Energy Departnt's own authority.

They needed to intimidate anyone with designs on the Energy Departnt to preserve its superior status.

Sealing off the Dusk Star Domain, allowing entry but not exit, was only the first step.

Investigating the truth of the matter was rely the second step.

Thoroughly investigating and cleansing every planet within the Dusk Star Domain—this was the third step.

At this mont.

The sa events happening on this resource planet were occurring across all planets in the Dusk Star Domain.

Large numbers of Energy Departnt personnel were landing on various planets.

They began rigorous investigations and cleansing operations.

Many people were under investigation, including the marquis residing in the main city of the Dusk Star Domain.

This uncrowned king of the Dusk Star Domain also received a visit from Energy Departnt investigators.

Although the Energy Departnt investigators ultimately found no evidence, this approach of having no upper limit and no bottom line was indeed the Energy Departnt's consistent style.

It was as if the Energy Departnt hadn't declined, and as if the Federation hadn't declined either.

As the spark that ignited all this, Interstellar Hunter Loren was still wandering randomly through the dark mining tunnels.

After Loren spread his wings and jumped into the deep pit, he free-fell for a while before his feet once again touched solid ground.

In the dim mining tunnel.

The only light ca from a faint glow filtering down from the pit opening above, which was almost nonexistent.

After crouching to examine the marks left on both side walls, Loren confird he had found the right place.

Just as Loren expected, all the traces here indicated that:

Not long ago, this place had still been actively mined.

This ant Loren had found his destination.

After confirming this was indeed the secretly mined spirit stone deposit, Loren imdiately stood up and strode confidently deeper into the mining tunnel.

The dim tunnel was so dark he could barely see his hand in front of his face.

Unfortunately, this couldn't hinder Loren's progress.

As a fourth-stage superhuman, Loren possessed night vision capability.

"Master, should I release the possession state?"

The raven's voice flashed through Loren's mind.

"Maintain the possession state. There might be danger here."
