Chapter 399: Chapter 320 Military Control (Five-in-One)_3

Monica stood with her hands clasped behind her, gazing down at the tips of her shoes as she asked,

"This, this..."

Su Ming didn’t know how to respond to Monica at that moment.

"Haha, I’m just joking with you, I know you won’t stay here."

Monica managed a smile as she spoke.

Su Ming said nothing but revealed a bitter smile. To tell the truth, charging into battle was something he wouldn’t even frown at. But dealing with this situation was beyond him. Even in his past life, when he wasn’t at war, he was on his way to it. Women only affected the speed of his shooting; he never got involved with them.

At that moment, Monica spoke again, seemingly conflicted.

"Can I ask you one more question?"

"Hmm!"

"Are we friends?"

"Of course we are."

Su Ming replied without a moment’s hesitation, very affirmatively.

"Hmm!"

Upon hearing Su Ming’s words, Monica let out a sigh of relief.

Su Ming looked at Monica and said with a smile,

"Monica, why have you become so hesitant? The Monica I remember wasn’t like that, you know?"

Monica was taken aback upon hearing Su Ming’s words.

She was silent for a few seconds, then regained her usual bold demeanor and said irritably to Su Ming,

"Isn’t that because you’re full of lies? I just can’t tell the difference!"

"Haha, that won’t happen anymore."

"You better mean it!"

"Hmm!"

Su Ming assured her.

At this time, Rhein came over, controlling the Gun Knight from a distance, and shouted to Su Ming,

"Squad leader, the cargo is all loaded up; it’s time to leave!"

"Okay, you guys go ahead to the ship; I’ll be right there!"

Su Ming shouted back at Rhein.

"Alright!"

Rhein immediately left, piloting the mecha away.

Su Ming turned to Monica and said,

"I have to go."

"Hmm, take care on your way, and if you get the chance, come back and visit."

Monica said with a faint smile.

"Alright, goodbye!"

After saying farewell to Monica, Su Ming walked toward the ship’s entrance.

Monica stood quietly in place, watching as Su Ming made his way to the ship, her expression tinged with sadness.

After a long while, the Fatty Dun’s anti-gravity device activated, and the massive hull rose slowly into the air.

Monica just quietly watched the ship depart.

...

Fatty Dun’s observation deck.

Su Ming also stood with hands clasped behind his back, gazing at Monica as she bid farewell.

As the Fatty Dun climbed higher, Monica’s figure grew smaller and smaller until it finally disappeared from view.

"Squad leader, not bad, Miss Monica seemed especially reluctant to let you go!"

Zhang Yi teased with a wink and a nudge.

Su Ming shot Zhang Yi an irritated glance and then said,

"Don’t you all have anything better to do?"

"Not at all, we’ve just finished transferring the cargo and are close to dead tired."

"Then you should go rest."

"No rush, just chatting with you for a bit!"

"I can’t be bothered chatting with you guys!"

Su Ming turned and walked away after speaking.

"Squad leader, where are you heading?"

Zhang Yi quickly asked, seeing Su Ming leaving.

"Central Control!"

Su Ming didn’t turn back but simply responded in short.

Zhang Yi and the others watched Su Ming’s departing figure and couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

...

A moment later, Su Ming arrived at the Fatty Dun’s central control room.

"Mr. Su Ming, you’ve arrived."

Captain Hagett greeted him very politely.

"Hmm, Captain Hagett, I want to discuss something with you. Could your transport ship take us back to the Federation? Of course, I will pay an additional fee."

Su Ming said to Captain Hagett.

"No problem, just an extra trip."

Captain Hagett didn’t refuse and readily agreed.

"Then I’m very thankful. So are we now heading back to the Tasji Kingdom, or flying directly to the Federation?"

Su Ming replied happily.

"We need to return to the Tasji Kingdom first for supplies and to handle the clearance procedures before we can head to the Federation!"

"That’s true!"

"However..."

Captain Hagett’s face suddenly showed a look of concern.

"However what? Is there a problem?"

Su Ming looked at Captain Hagett, puzzled.

"It’s like this, Mr. Su Ming, the situation has worsened recently."

Captain Hagett sighed and explained to Su Ming,

"Worsened? What happened?"

Su Ming frowned upon hearing Captain Hagett’s words.

"I don’t know what caused it, but there are a large number of unidentified fleets appearing in various regions of the Danube Star Sea, leading to constant conflicts with the Imperial Army. Everywhere’s quite unsafe now, and it will probably be difficult for you to get back. You’ll need to be especially careful."

Captain Hagett explained with a troubled look.

Hearing this, Su Ming immediately said to Captain Hagett,

"I understand, don’t worry about safety, we will take care of it."

"Alright!"

Captain Hagett nodded in reply.

At this moment, Mi Fei reported,

"Father, we’ve reached outer space. The Superluminal Flight Device is ready."

"Then activate it!"

Captain Hagett said without hesitation,

"Alright!"

Mi Fei nodded in agreement,

.....

Two days later.

The vastness of outer space was suddenly disrupted by a ripple.

Level 4 transport bay, Fatty Dun, terminated its superluminal flight, materializing in the starry sky.

Inside the central control room.

Su Ming watched silently as Captain Hagett and the others operated the ship.

Mi Fei reported methodically,

"Superluminal flight has ended, power parameters are normal."

...

However, just at that moment, the entire scanning device suddenly lit up with dense red dots, followed by the piercing sound of an alarm.

"Warning: Unidentified fleet detected!"

"Warning: Unidentified mecha group detected!"

"Warning: Imperial Army mecha group detected!"

"Warning: Imperial Army fleet detected!"
