Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 145: Chapter 80 Inquiry and the Impending Pursuit_4

But currently, Chen Ming’s second strongest combat capability is always the Warrior Transformation that he can take with him.

After gathering four ships, Chen Ming changed course again, entered the Superspace Channel, and flew straight toward the Star Realm Government’s location.

Not long after Chen Ming left the Space Station.

A very inconspicuous spaceship docked at the station’s dock.

The five members of the military squad, who had previously carried out a Space Station search mission, were now dressed in civilian clothes, all gathered inside the cabin, awaiting the captain’s instructions.

The captain, as usual, knocked on the cabin door to draw everyone’s attention to himself and said, ”You all understand the mission requirements, right? Search for any signs of Chen Ming’s activities on the Space Station.”

A team member raised his hand and asked, ”Where do we start?”

The captain pointed to the maintenance factory nearby and said, ”Over there.”

”Leave two here at the maintenance factory to make inquiries, and the rest come with me to find our contact.”

”Huh? Just make inquiries like that?”

The captain looked disappointed and said, ”I told you to put on a show; just act like you’re working hard, so the higher-ups won’t blame you. You don’t really think you can find anything, do you? Dreaming?”

”You never know.”

The captain waved his hand nonchalantly and said, ”Suit yourselves. As far as I’m concerned, consider it a taxpayer-funded trip. I remember the facilities inside this Space Station are pretty decent.”

”Play around, but remember to do a little work, or the report will be hard to complete.”

The captain casually pointed at two team members and said, ”You two are responsible for the maintenance factory. The people there usually come into contact with the most people, so ask around. If it doesn’t work, spend some money; you can get reimbursed. At least you’ve tried, regardless of the outcome.”

”That’s it, disembark.”

After disembarking, the five members of the military squad dispersed.

The two team members assigned by the captain wandered around the maintenance factory twice, finding the employees on duty today.

One was a newcomer who joined recently, and the other was Tian Jiwen.

With the captain leading by example in slacking off, the two team members couldn’t be bothered to beat around the bush. They directly took the terminal and approached the two.

Pointing to the photos of Chen Ming and the original appearance of Iron Ore No., they asked, ”Have either of you seen this person or this spaceship?”

Chen Ming had never removed his helmet in front of the factory chief, and Iron Ore No. had already been transformed before the newcomer’s arrival.

So the newcomer’s response was naturally, ”I don’t know.”

As for Tian Jiwen, though he had never seen Chen Ming’s face, he had seen the untransformed appearance of Chen Ming’s Iron Ore No.

However, at this moment, he did not intend to reveal this information directly.

Previously, he had been sent to see a psychologist by the factory chief.

Afterward, he realized that his emotional outburst was just venting misdirected anger.

There was no real conflict between him and Chen Ming, so after a slight hesitation, he also chose to say he didn’t know.

The two team members’ gaze lingered on Tian Jiwen for a moment. After receiving the reply, they exchanged glances and left the maintenance factory after giving a mutually understood thank you.

All of this was witnessed by Bald, who happened to have the day off.

Having already left the Pirate Space Station’s Star System far behind, Chen Ming, without connection to the Sentinels and the mule left on the Space Station, naturally had no idea what was happening there.

He was now sitting on a coffin he had placed in the engine room, studying his Whispering Stone, which had suddenly undergone a mysterious change.
