He complained that the other side bullied his own Military Station, never expecting Qu Jianlei to quietly leave after finding no big targets.
Before long, a dium-sized Military Station two hundred kiloters away suffered almost the sa devastation.
The difference was, after this Military Station was attacked, it only sent out two search teams, and did not use artillery to cover its own people.
However, both search teams were rebel Pioneer Team mbers, and the Star Thieves would calculate carefully—letting other people’s children die first.
Qu Jianlei repeated the attack thod from last ti, practically without thinking, which made even himself a bit puzzled.
Was the attack so smooth that the news of the previous station being attacked didn’t get here?
Indeed, the news hadn’t reached here because the two dium-sized stations belonged to different large stations.
The General Station also hadn’t issued a warning to other stations because the timing was too sensitive, and bad news is best kept under wraps.
The result of keeping it under wraps was that this station encountered an almost replica attack.
The next day, the station commander who learned of the news cursed loudly and directly reported the General Station to the leaders.
He wasn’t the only one cursing; many rebel Pioneer Team mbers were also secretly cursing...
In fact, the operations of the General Station even scared Qu Jianlei; the attack went too smoothly!
So he didn’t dare to ss with a third station... Mainly because he was running low on Inner Breath, not enough to support three strikes.
Coincidentally, it was almost ti to contact Mu Guoguo, so he found a place near a previous collection point close to a Settlent and turned on the radio.
While calling, he held a B-level Crystal for Replenishing Qi, in case of another fiery bombardnt.
This was because he had developed a psychological shadow.
However, this ti there was no reaction from the surroundings, and it took quite a long ti without connecting to Commander Mu.
Was it silent again? Qu Jianlei vaguely sensed the cruelty inside the encirclent.
He was about to turn off the radio when it actually connected, but Commander Mu’s voice was a bit muffled.
"Been fighting for days, fell asleep, what are you busy with now... Got the wounded settled, but no news?"
Fighting for days? Qu Jianlei was puzzled upon hearing this, "Is the situation intense?"
"It’s hard to explain in a few words," Commander Mu sighed and yawned again, "but it’s none of your business; do you have any good news?"
Qu Jianlei was indeed curious about the battle situation inside the circle, but he wasn’t ddleso.
Since the other party didn’t want to talk, he didn’t bother to ask—the main force of the battle was ultimately the Pioneer Team, and he was just responsible for tactical harassnt.
He wasn’t a military academy graduate; as an outsider, he just needed to do what he could. Was there a need to add so much drama to himself?
So he first asked about the artillery, whether they needed it, and if so, he could make arrangents for them.
Commander Mu unhesitatingly expressed that they definitely needed it and would pay for it—though current Silver Notes weren’t worth much.
Qu Jianlei, however, said that at this point, who cares about money, let’s just focus on fighting the Star Thieves together.
He wasn’t really that generous; after all, taking down the Secret Vault consud quite a bit of his Inner Breath, all relying on Crystal Rejuvenation.
But Pan Yifu’s words reminded him, once it turned into a transaction, if the other side needed sothing again in the future, wouldn’t he be able to set a price?
And with Energy Block Silver Notes devaluing so much, what price should he use as a reference?
Better to be generous once, let the other party owe a debt of gratitude, and that’s it.
After expressing his stance, he brought up the Turtle Breathing Technique, saying he was willing to trade for pharmaceuticals.
Hearing that he had gotten pharmaceuticals, Commander Mu was also very excited, especially hearing that he had already secured so for the wounded.
As for the Turtle Breathing Technique, he vowed to make sure it was arranged and assured Qu Jianlei.
Finally, the people of the Settlent reacted and began organizing search teams, so Qu Jianlei turned off the radio and left.
On that day, the Star Thieves withdrew most of their scouting personnel—even the stations were being attacked, who would care?
Subsequently, around the Secret Camp Qu Jianlei was building, not a single scout was seen the entire day.
After resting for a day, he went out again at night, but didn’t bother the Military Stations anymore.
He understood the principle of not overreaching when successful, and the key was he had used too much Inner Breath, needing to replenish it.
Two days later, that night, after relocating those cannons and shells, he received a call from Commander Mu.
But to his surprise, the caller wasn’t Commander Mu.
"Hello, Black Heaven, I am Hongyun from the Engineer Battalion. The frequency and password for this radio were given to by Commander Mu."
"I have now escaped the encirclent, here to find you, can you give a location?"

Chapter 288: Turtle Breathing Technique (Third update)
Hongyun is the head of the Engineer Battalion, an A-level leader, and actually ca in person.
Qu Jianlei was a bit surprised but didn’t think much of it; they agreed to et near a Settlent.
He wasn’t worried about any traps; they only regarded him as B-level. If they had any deceitful ideas, even two A-level wouldn’t be enough.
Hongyun was a Water Attribute Warrior with a rather androgynous appearance and thin lips, giving a sowhat harsh look.
However, Mu Guoguo had already ntioned in advance that this big shot was enthusiastic and very straightforward.
As proof, he indeed embodied that appearances don’t determine the heart; upon eting, he handed over a booklet.
"This is the Turtle Breathing Technique, which I brought from the Imperial; I originally planned to train a few more people, but now it belongs to you."
