Chapter 360: Chapter 314: Unexpected (Five-in-One)

"Fighting? Who can’t do that? We can fight too!"

"Totally, bring on however many you want!"

...

Zhang Yi and the others were quick to express their readiness, and even Allu and her group volunteered, unwilling to be outdone.

Su Ming glanced at the crowd. None of the students present were slouches in a fight.

However, he couldn’t take everyone, so he still had to choose the best among them. Then Su Ming called out.

"Hamu, Ankaga, Zhang Yi, you three are coming with me."

"Yay!"

Zhang Yi shouted excitedly.

"Ah!"

Mandy and the rest sighed, resigned to stand by.

Just then, as the ship shook violently, Mi Fei’s voice came over the intercom.

"Mr. Su Ming, we have landed at the interstellar airport."

Upon hearing this, Su Ming said to Rhein.

"Rhein, I’m leaving this to you, wait for instructions!"

"Okay!"

Rhein responded promptly.

Su Ming then led Mikos and the others towards the exit.

...

After a while, Su Ming and the group, carrying a bag, arrived at the underground waiting area of the interstellar airport.

A black Jeep cab was parked in front of them.

Su Ming got into the passenger seat, and Ankaga and the others squeezed into the back.

The middle-aged driver, with a face full of stubble and a synthetic cigarette dangling from his mouth, drove the vehicle away and asked in a streetwise manner.

"Where to?"

"Kamorden Base City!"

Su Ming replied succinctly.

-Zap!-

As soon as the cab driver heard Su Ming’s words, he slammed on the brakes and retorted irritably.

"Not going!"

"It’s not about the money."

"It’s not a matter of money, no amount would make me go. No one wants to go to Kamorden Base City anymore, plus communications with that city have been cut off."

The driver said bluntly, waving his hand, making no attempt to mince words.

Upon hearing the driver’s words, Ankaga and the others all looked very grave; this was trouble!

But Su Ming appeared quite calm as he simply told the driver.

"Then get out of the car!"

"Hey, kid! What are you trying to do, hijack the car?"

"I’m buying your car."

"Wow, met a big shot, huh? This car’s really expensive..."

The driver said proudly, his eyes lighting up.

"Cut the crap, how much?"

Su Ming didn’t want to haggle with the guy.

"100K, and I don’t want your local currency, that stuff’s no better than toilet paper—I want Federation Coin."

The driver demanded a hefty sum outright.

"Fine! Take it!"

Su Ming promptly pulled out his wallet and handed the driver ten thousand-dollar Federation notes.

"Damn! What a boss!"

The driver’s eyes nearly popped out as he reached out eagerly for the money.

But just as he was about to grab the cash, Su Ming pulled his hand back.

"What do you mean by this?"

The driver asked with a darkened face.

"Shouldn’t you give us the electronic map to Kamorden Base City?"

"Oh, I thought something serious was up—I’ve got a full set of maps on the car’s navigation system. Plus this car has been modified with a life support system, enough for you to drive it straight to Kamorden Base City, and it even has a few sets of emergency protective suits!"

"Good!"

Su Ming handed over the money after hearing the explanation.

"Thanks, and take care!"

The driver, unable to stop smiling, hastily got out of the car.

Su Ming headed straight for the driver’s seat, while Ankaga got out of the back and moved to the passenger seat.

Then, Su Ming turned on the car’s electronic map and pinpointed Kamorden Base City’s location.

"Welcome to Scumbag Navigation, enjoy your scumbag journey."

"..."

"Hmm, searching for you..."

"..."

Listening to the sly voice, Su Ming and the others remained silent.

"Hmm, found it for you, but it’s really long at 753 kilometers. Hold on for four hours and you’ll make it."

Su Ming’s face clouded as he stepped on the gas, and the car shot out at high speed.

"Ah! Too fast, can’t take it, slow down a bit."

"..."

Zhang Yi and the others also looked grim.

Su Ming turned off the navigation voice and sped onwards.

...

Several hours later.

A taxi drove along a winding road through barren terrain.

There were hardly any vehicles on the entire road, just red rocks all along the way.

"Squad leader, you’ve got some serious driving skills. So stable even at such high speeds."

Zhang Yi chatted, leaning over the back of Su Ming’s seat.

"Not bad, first time driving!"

Su Ming replied nonchalantly.

"Huh? First time? You’re not joking with us, are you?"

Zhang Yi and the rest were dumbfounded and tensely asked.

"Why would I joke with you? I don’t even have a driver’s license."

"Don’t tell me, can you drive? Or should I take over?"

"No need, driving is simple. How can it be difficult?"

To Su Ming, piloting a mecha was far more complex, so driving a vehicle was nothing.

"Alright then."

Seeing Su Ming so confident, Zhang Yi and the others didn’t press further.

Just then, a base city enveloped within the Dorag Sphere appeared on the horizon.

"We’re almost there."

Mikos said nervously.

"Right, once we enter the city, everyone keep a low profile. Don’t get into conflicts unless absolutely necessary."

Su Ming instructed Zhang Yi and the others.

"Got it!"

Zhang Yi and the others put away their jokes and turned solemn.

Su Ming kept driving along the road.

About half an hour later, as they were about to enter the city along the highway, they encountered a roadblock.

Ahead of them, a rectangular box-type checkpoint was set up, and more than a dozen men in first-generation Exoskeleton Armor, wielding firearms, waved for them to stop.
