Chapter 282: Chapter 282 Accustomed (Added for book friend Tusmountain Tong) (Third Update)

At that moment, Su Ming, squeezed out to the side and leaning against a Gun Knight’s leg, watched the scene calmly.

Next to him, Mia also sighed and said,

"Su Ming, how do you see this situation? Who is right and who is wrong?"

"If you ask me, everyone is wrong, but also no one is wrong,"

Su Ming said indifferently.

"Why do you say that?"

"I say everyone is wrong because they all consider the situation from their own perspective and never think about the other side. As for why I say no one is wrong, that’s because human nature is selfish by definition. Keep in mind, even the heart is off-center to the left; there’s no absolute right or wrong in this world."

"Yo, not bad! You see things quite clearly."

Mia looked at Su Ming, somewhat surprised.

"It’s alright!"

Su Ming replied very calmly.

In fact, he had seen and experienced much of this kind of thing and had grown accustomed to it.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps approached.

Su Ming and Mia turned their heads to look, only to see Colonel Xiao Ye and Vice Principal Fleck rushing over.

When they saw Li Mengqi and Dr. Ting Li being attacked, Colonel Xiao Ye immediately shouted in a stern voice,

"Stop!"

In an instant, the noisy scene quieted down.

Everyone turned their heads to look at Colonel Xiao Ye and Vice Principal Fleck.

"Vice Principal Fleck..."

The students present said with red-rimmed eyes.

Vice Principal Fleck had wanted to reprimand the students, but seeing them in such a state, the words never made it past his lips. He sighed and said to the teachers,

"Ladies and gentlemen, please take the students back. They have had a hard time with this as well."

"Yes,"

teachers like Alfam replied in a grave tone.

At that time, Colonel Xiao Ye looked coldly at all the survivors present and began to speak.

"Everyone, I am not clear on the nature of your disputes with the two doctors. But I must tell you that both doctors are key personnel of the Federation, and we can’t allow any harm to come to them! Regardless of the magnitude of your disputes or grievances, please remain rational. You may file an appeal with the Federation after the fact. There’s one more thing, the Federation Government has already dispatched a special fleet of ships to come and retrieve them."

The survivors present fell into silence after hearing what Xiao Ye had said.

Xiao Ye then walked up to Li Mengqi and Dr. Ting Li and said,

"Please, come with me."

"Alright!"

Li Mengqi and the doctor nodded in agreement.

Xiao Ye then led the two away.

Mia also let out a sigh and turned to Su Ming and the others,

"Let’s go!"

....

Twelve hours later.

In the vast expanse of space, a colossal Mother Ship that stretched over 300 kilometers long, with a blocky bow, a slender and broad hull, covered in thick black metal armor peppered with countless launcher ports, rapidly approached the Red Teeth.

Inside the command room.

Lieutenant An Jie continually reported,

"Commander, we have scanned the Federation’s 5th level Mother Ship, the Shim, and they have sent a docking request!"

"Agree!"

Colonel Xiao Ye responded gravely.

"Adjusting cruising speed."

An Jie and the others began to adjust ship parameters in preparation for docking.

At this time, Li Mengqi and Dr. Ting Li, looking at the Mother Ship coming to retrieve them, also had a mix of emotions.

"Major Gene, you will personally escort the two doctors on board!"

"Understood, please follow us,"

Major Gene said with a deep voice.

"Many thanks."

Li Mengqi and Dr. Ting Li then followed Major Gene away.

In the starry sky, the Shim approached the side of the Red Teeth, both maintaining the same speed and drawing very close.

Subsequently, two metal conduits extended from the side of the Shim, directly attaching to the emergency access points on the Red Teeth.

Then, the emergency airlock doors of both ships opened one after another.

Major Gene personally escorted Dr. Li Mengqi and Dr. Ting Li towards the Shim mother ship.

When they reached the end of the connecting passageway, they saw a stern and resolute man in the uniform of a major general, with a straight nose and graying temples, waiting with a group of subordinates.

This man was none other than General Jessa, who had come to receive them in person.

"Sir, the individuals have been delivered, now transferring them to you."

Major Gene saluted General Jessa.

"Very good, you have all done well on this mission, I will report to the military headquarters and commend you!"

Major General Jessa praised them with satisfaction.

"Thank you, sir!"

Major Gene’s face showed no sign of joy, only responding normally.

Major General Jessa turned his head to look at Li Mengqi and Ting Li, speaking very politely.

"The two doctors must have been alarmed, please come with me!"

"Alright."

Li Mengqi and Ting Li followed Jessa inside.

Once aboard the ship, Major General Jessa quickly lowered his voice to ask.

"The two of you, you haven’t lost that item, have you?"

"No, we carry it with us at all times, we wouldn’t dare lose it even at the risk of death."

Ting Li replied with utmost seriousness.

"That’s good."

Major General Jessa slightly relaxed.

...

Inside the Red Teeth command center.

Colonel Xiao Ye stood quietly at the command platform, watching the docked Shim mother ship, waiting for the personnel transfer to finish.

At that moment, Vice Principal Fleck approached Xiao Ye and sighed.

"This crisis is finally over."

"Vice Principal Fleck, do you think what we did was right or wrong? To sacrifice some for others, it doesn’t seem equivalent in a way," Xiao Ye asked thoughtfully.

Fleck was taken aback for a moment, then replied to Xiao Ye very seriously.

"Don’t have such thoughts, you can’t measure people by their value, life is priceless! When you start to see everything in terms of value, that’s when you lose the most precious thing. Human nature itself is complex, it’s very easy to go to extremes over various matters, and we need beliefs and ideals as anchors for the soul."

"I see," Xiao Ye nodded in response.

At that moment, An Jie came over and respectfully said.

"Commander, the personnel transfer is complete, and the docking has been disconnected."

"Start the Superluminal Flight Device, we have delayed long enough," Xiao Ye stated without any hesitation.

"Understood!"

An Jie replied respectfully.

...

Two days later, early morning in Hangar 1.

Su Ming and Rhein, among others, sat on the ground, waiting for Instructor Mia’s arrival.

Their spirits were not great, looking listless, and some were even sighing.

At that moment, Angel whispered to Su Ming and the others.

"Last night, I couldn’t sleep and went out for a walk, and I saw several girls from other classes crying on the observation deck."

"Sigh, I heard that 43 students died, almost every class had casualties. It’s just that our class was luckier, no, I mean Instructor Mia taught us well," Zhang Yi said, then suddenly corrected himself.

"I agree on that."

Mandy and the others nodded in agreement.

Then Rhein sighed and said to everyone.

"Have you heard?"
