Qu Jianlei ultimately couldn’t resist the entanglent of Hongyun and Fangcao.
Hongyun was very in sync with him, Fangcao acted rather willfully, but when faced with Zheng Ziyang’s compulsion, she directly countered fiercely.
So... they’re really not outsiders.
Especially Fangcao also expressed that if he fulfills this favor, when leaving this planet, Black Heaven, you can ask for anything.
That’s right, everyone considers this a favor, although Diamond has switched sides, the problem lies only with Zarif’s sub-team.
Diamond at the Imperial headquarters still has a large number of personnel, including more than one Supre.
Qu Jianlei was very tempted by this promise, and Zheng Ziyang’s inexplicable hostility also made him feel sowhat uneasy.
However, Spirit Fox disdainfully expressed, as Qian Duoduo, I have my own intentions, Fangcao, your promise doesn’t an much.
Even Hongyun couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly, "We really owe Black Heaven quite a bit."
At this point, Qu Jianlei had no choice but to go; was he going to say "favor breeds enmity"?
Having made the decision, he wasted no ti and arrived at the location that night.
The next night, Diamond discreetly brought in four B-levels, three of which didn’t co the previous night.
The newcors were most concerned about the choice of liaisons because Star Thieves internally propagandized that the Pioneer camp basically had no A-levels.
Baldy, Old Ghost, and Pan Yifu were captured; Hongyun, Fangcao, and Spirit Fox had escaped with serious injuries, and White Clothes was already dead.
There was also Jiu Xu, the leader of the Profound-level team Yan Yang under Crimson, who fled severely injured but was caught yesterday.
As for Zheng Ziyang, to settle the soldiers’ hearts, Star Thieves claid he had been severely damaged.
Regardless of whether others believed it, this was their propaganda.
Diamond’s people didn’t fully believe these words, but they had doubts in their hearts.
The key issue was that with the collapse of the Relay Tower, the Star Thieves panicked, with people and supplies beginning to evacuate.
At this crucial mont, their attitude towards Diamond and Fat Fox and other switchers needed no more words.
Responsible for the rear guard were these Pioneers, and the Star Thieves arranged a lot of personnel for surveillance.
In just these couple of days, dozens of Pioneers violating the rules have already been executed by the Watchers.
As a result, the switcher Pioneers were all terrified, but internally they were still not convinced by each other, with no one qualified to take the lead.
Thus, for those planning to switch sides again, support and reinforcent from the Pioneer team camp were very necessary.
However, when they arrived, they realized that the liaison was only led by Black Heaven with twenty-odd B-levels.
A-level Zheng Ziyang was nowhere to be seen.
Diamond’s people didn’t realize that Zheng Ziyang had been repelled by Crimson’s people — maybe he really was heavily injured?
What they cared more about was: without A-level support, how could they possibly escape smoothly?
Qu Jianlei sensed the intention in their words and felt extrely uncomfortable.
However, he didn’t need to step in to scold them; during these days, Black Heaven had accumulated considerable reputation among the Pioneer team mbers.
Mu Guoguo took the lead, several B-levels stepped forward to criticize: if you doubt Black Heaven’s strength, then forget about returning!
The resentnt among many Pioneer team mbers towards Diamond was more than ordinary; many had the urge to punch soone.
Qu Jianlei finally stated, "No one owes you anything. I suggest you consider how to make ands by action!"
A B-level from Diamond spoke up, "Wasn’t it said that during the counterattack against the Star Thieves, we wouldn’t have the chance to atone for our cris?"
Qu Jianlei shook his head expressionlessly, "With such low intelligence?"
Among the Pioneers, there were many physically strong individuals, but also quite a few with keen minds, and so took these words to heart.
Anyway, they had no choice; otherwise, being a Star Thief for life would be the best option, more likely they’d be abandoned here.
So in the night that followed, several muffled explosions resounded in the core area, and the just-repaired power hub was blown up again.
The power hub was actually not easy to destroy, but the Star Thieves rely hastily repaired it without reinforcing defense.
The Star Thieves at all levels understood that they were about to evacuate Zarif, so the power system could be used as-is.
Unexpectedly, it was attacked again, and it was clearly not an outer intrusion by the Pioneer team mbers.
"It’s bad, it’s those switcher Pioneers!" soone already reacted.
However, it was already too late; with the explosion sounds, shouts of killing rang out across the Star Thieves’ control area.
Among the switcher Pioneer team mbers, there were actually spies from the Star Thieves — such a major event could not have no leaks.
In fact, the Star Thieves had already started secretly investigating to find out who were the leaders in this incident.
They dared not publicly propagate, only privately investigating, otherwise, if they incited a mutiny, the trouble would be huge.
In theory, Star Thieves were ruthless in their actions, and their approach to dealing with rebellion was only more grueso than usual.
But at this mont with internal and external troubles, the key issue was that the Supre had spoken: do not slaughter the switcher Pioneers too brutally!
The reason is simple, Imperial reinforcents are expected shortly, killing too many Pioneers would offend Diamond headquarters itself!
The pioneers value money, but who doesn’t care about face if slapped too hard?
There are many lawless people in the Pioneer Team. If they truly clash with the Star Thieves relentlessly, they can chase them to the ends of the universe.
Thus, the Star Thieves can only quietly investigate the instigators of the rebellion to prevent the situation from spiraling out of control.
In fact, the Star Thieves are hoping for a bureaucratic tussle between the Diamond headquarters and the Imperial forces, so they wouldn’t want to go too far.
However, this ti, several initiators from Diamond were cautious, placing explosives with the most reliable people.
Moreover, they didn’t announce the timing of the launch, just reminded everyone that if anything changed, rember to kill the Star Thieves and run!
Most of the pioneers were reluctant to join the Star Thieves, and upon getting such news, started to reach out to their acquaintances for coordination.
Still, more than a dozen people were betrayed by acquaintances and executed, but the Star Thieves did not escalate the matter.
When the power hub was bombed, even a fool understood that this was the signal to launch.
When the power hub was destroyed for the second ti, the consequences were even more severe than the last; many places had exhausted their backup power.
For a ti, the territory of the Star Thieves was filled not only with the sound of killing but also with explosions and flas erupting everywhere.
This was so Pioneer Team mbers starting to detonate ammunition and burn supplies.
By doing so, not only could they claim their efforts as achievents to offset cris, but it also facilitated escape, didn’t it?
Anyway, the pioneers had all sorts of people and were never short of skills for sabotage.
The Diamond team was also well-trained, quickly assembling into several sizable groups amidst the chaos.
Then, under the cover of night, they rushed towards the rendezvous point.
Other renegade pioneers didn’t know the evacuation route, but would still follow the crowd.
Qu Jianlei was not interested in this rescue mission, but he had a severe tendency towards compulsion.
If he wouldn’t do it, then fine, but once he decided to do it, he would ensure it was done well.
With backing from three A-levels, he went around coordinating with various Pioneer Teams, receiving considerable weapons and equipnt support.
Besides that, he also enlisted dozens of Earth Attribute Warriors, mostly B-level, and all C-level warriors were at peak cultivation level.
His requirent was to unleash large-scale quicksand techniques to ensure blocking the pursuing Star Thieves.
As for those flying A-levels, his plan was to concentrate heavy weaponry on them.
Strictly speaking, this rescue plan was not perfect, and could even be said to have quite a few loopholes.
If the Star Thieves also gathered earth attributes, plus so wood attribute warriors, the so-called rescue would be nothing but a joke.
Add two fire attribute A-levels into the mix, and it would be a disaster unless Qu Jianlei could fully intervene.
Yet, he had no other options. His identity and background were a mystery, and the resources he could mobilize were very limited.
Fortunately, over the past few months, Black Heaven had gained quite a reputation, along with ritorious rewards, encouraging cooperation from others.
So, this is a gamble; he bets that the Star Thieves won’t guess his rescue plan.
Qu Jianlei wasn’t inherently a gambler; he simply had no choice now.
He could only console himself: I’m risking my life for others, not gambling my life.
Moreover, they had a mysterious Earth Attribute A-level big shot nad Wen Xin, who, at crucial monts, could blend in as a cover, lending a hand.
Luckily, the worst outco did not occur.
When the expansive quicksand technique appeared, countless Star Thieves imdiately reacted: The beheading demon is here again!
So Star Thieves had strategies against quicksand techniques, but most thought, "Forget it, whoever wants to chase can chase."
The A-level warrior Qu Jianlei was concerned about showed up: the second-in-command of the Earth attribute.
The second-in-command didn’t fly over; despite having a high horizon, he knew that personal combat power was insignificant in such battlefield conditions.
Therefore, he quietly hid among the crowd, intending to counter the quicksand technique and act opportunistically.
Unfortunately, the opposition in the Pioneer Team included soone who practiced spiritual techniques.
Qu Jianlei sensed the abnormal fluctuations of the earth elent and directly announced the location, "... right there, bombard it!"
After being bombarded so many tis, he finally got his chance to bully others.
The second-in-command’s perception ability wasn’t bad either; realizing countless shells were flying in, he was scared half to death.
Without a second thought, he turned around to escape; taking the risk to charge forward? He’s not a fool!
Given his status, he was destined to leave Zarif; what’s the point of flaunting in such chaos?
"So damn unlucky, who on the other side can see through my disguise?"
Running slowly and quickly, he was still attacked — even Qu Jianlei couldn’t evade in such a situation; how could he?
Fortunately, the second-in-command had high defense and health, receiving only minor injuries, and managed to escape.
However, he had previously been injured by Spirit Fox, and hadn’t healed completely. This new injury was adding insult to injury.
(The third Chapter arrived, the first day of October, seeking guaranteed monthly tickets during the double period.)
