Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 721: Chapter 217 Dangerous Zone_2

”Alright.”

Chen Ming chose to respect the opinion of the experienced person and closed his eyes to rest on the spot.

The other four people present also chose their own ways to rest, but they kept glancing at Chen Ming, observing him.

Especially Song Pu, who looked at Chen Ming as if he had found the key to winning this battle.

In fact, before Cheng Xinghai invited him to participate in this battle, he had already investigated Chen Ming’s situation and understood this person.

Therefore, when Cheng Xinghai assigned him to Chen Ming’s side to participate in this battle, he had no objections.

He even hoped to fight alongside Chen Ming and witness this legendary Psychic, who, together with the hotshot figure of the Fourteenth Legion, Bai, successfully attacked Dusk and achieved a great victory.

Moreover, he also found out that Chen Ming had joined the Fourteenth Legion, learning battlefield command techniques under Bai Quan at the branch.

In the future, it’s possible for them to work together on the frontline battlefield.

That’s why he was the first to step up and communicate with Chen Ming today, displaying an obvious attitude of friendly cooperation.

He also took the time to contact the teammates Cheng Xinghai helped him find and explained the situation to them, introducing Chen Ming’s situation.

Therefore, even though the other two did not have much understanding of Chen Ming, each was top of their class in their schools and had rich combat experience.

There was no impatience or arrogance towards Chen Ming, the newcomer who might drag them down due to his lack of experience in large-scale battles.

At first, it was out of trust in Song Pu and basic courtesy to Chen Ming.

However, when Chen Ming demonstrated his spiritual energy and proved his worth, what remained was pure respect for a competent teammate.

Time passed quickly.

The half-hour countdown approached its end.

At the moment the countdown ended, someone unknowingly uttered the word ”Start.”

The dark and illusory environment around Chen Ming instantly solidified.

Chen Ming blinked and found himself in a rather nice-looking café.

The members of his team were not around him; they had been separated.

Instinctively, Chen Ming turned to look out the window.

The floating vehicles speeding by from above and the vehicles moving along the roads below all indicated to Chen Ming that he was in a peaceful colony.

The drivers and passengers with various expressions in those vehicles, the pedestrians hurrying by the roadside, along with the relaxed tea-drinking customers and a few playful students Chen Ming noticed when turning back inside the café, made him feel as though he was in a real world.

However, the special terminal in his hand reminded him that all of this was virtual, conducted by a programmed simulation.

Yet, all the NPCs seemed to possess extremely high intelligence.

This made Chen Ming seriously suspect whether the Empire had used the captured Dusk in such places.

Just then, the special terminal in Chen Ming’s hand suddenly rang.

”Commander” Song Pu’s voice came through the terminal.

”Each confirm your identities and locations. We need to understand the overall situation.”

”My identity is confirmed as the highest leader of the Rebel Army, currently located at the core area occupied by the Rebels, a military colony named Liuyan Star System on the frontier of the Galor-4 Star Zone.”

”We are on the Rebel Army’s side.”

Song Pu sat behind a desk, picked up a task report on handling spies, glanced at it and placed it within reach, continuing to speak on the terminal.

”You need to quickly confirm your simulated identities and locations. I need to understand your situations as soon as possible.”

Responses of ”Received” quickly came from ”General” Cheng Xinghe, ”Logistics” Dong Miao, and ”Engineer” Hong Guanghong in the terminal.

Chen Ming also casually replied, then set down the terminal to confirm his own status.

When the environment around him changed and he appeared in the café.

Chen Ming noticed that his clothes had already changed into a more casual outfit, not the coat he bought to carry various tools.

Aside from a terminal and some loose coins, he had nothing on him.

His identity seemed to be confirmable only through this terminal.

Chen Ming picked up the terminal that came with him, discovering it required a password to unlock.

Though using spiritual energy to bypass the password would be easy, he thought for a moment and directly entered the name ”Chen Ming.”

And it actually worked.

The personal profile interface on the terminal displayed everything about the identity of Chen Ming.

However, apart from the name being Chen Ming, nothing in this identity resembled Chen Ming’s experiences.

It seemed that in the simulation, he was just an ordinary office worker on a day off.

But Chen Ming knew he was there to participate in the simulation and not on vacation, so there had to be an issue with this identity.

While Chen Ming was searching through the terminal for any clues about the identity, he noticed several messages had already flashed across the special terminal.

It seemed the others had already successively confirmed their identities.

General (Cheng Xinghe): ”I’m in an office at a frontline outpost, holding the position of garrison commander of the Rebel Army. There’s a file on upcoming ground orbital defense facility inspections on my desk. We seem to be in a temporary truce with the Government Army.”

Logistics (Dong Miao): ”I’m with the Commander.”
