(Hope everyone can relax well on International Workers' Day. Although it's only one extra day of holiday, this holiday might also be very tiring. That's how I, Yizui, am. I woke up early in the morning for a family barbecue. Not only was the traffic annoying, but the parking spot was almost a mountain away from the barbecue spot. I only got home just now and quickly typed some words. The word count for this chapter is a bit less, but I, Yizui, really can't hold on any longer. In the two chapters updated tomorrow, I will make up for the missing word count in the first chapter. I apologize to everyone.)

When the four participants regrouped, the battleship's military police were lying scattered around them. These military police were either directly unconscious or were continuously groaning in pain, no longer able to stop the four from advancing.

After the four converged, they exchanged a glance and understood each other's thoughts. Sman, the sleeveless man, picked up four weapons from the ground and distributed them to everyone. Then, the group quickly rushed towards the bridge.

Along the way, Harvey, the blue-haired man, was filled with rage, his eyes burning with fierce anger, wishing he could destroy everything in front of him. However, he managed to maintain his composure and asked the only woman among the four, "Big Sister, what should we do?"

Upon hearing Harvey's words, Eshe's expression also turned extremely grim. "Let's abandon the first mission. We don't have the ability for space combat. If we had boarded that Archangel, we might have been able to accept this mission with those two mecha. Now, we can only give it up. But we must accept the second mission. The data on C-class mecha is definitely not something simple. Perhaps after completing this mission, we can all obtain C-class mecha using this data. Once we capture Harborton, we will immediately head to the shuttlecraft to forcibly disengage from this combat zone. We absolutely cannot let Harborton sustain any damage before the battle. Barnes, you immediately head towards the hangar bay to ensure the shuttlecraft is fine. Hack into the battleship's systems and control everything."

"Understood." Barnes, the silver-haired youth who had been silent, quietly responded. When they passed a fork in the road, he left alone.

Harvey, the blue-haired man, said hatefully, "Harborton, that idiot, actually let them capture us and obstructed our actions. If it weren't for the mission, I really would have wanted to strangle that old guy!"

Sman, the short-sleeved man, shot Harvey a glare and cursed softly, "Idiot, I thought you had matured a bit. Although your actions just now were a bit harsh, at least no lives were lost. Don't forget, the Merit Points you lost from killing those Low-species before."

"You're the idiot, just like Barnes!" Harvey cursed angrily. "If we had taken down those guys earlier, we wouldn't be in such a passive situation."

"Shut up!" Eshe suddenly raised her voice, which was unusual for her. A hint of sinister intent appeared in her charming voice. "Are you questioning my decision?"

Harvey gritted his teeth and said nothing more. Sman glanced at Harvey's expression and disdainfully curled his lips. He then raised his hand and fired a shot forward without even looking. Immediately, a cry of pain came from around a corner, and a soldier fell to the ground clutching his arm, shouting loudly.

After Sman and Eshe finished firing, Harvey didn't even stop as they ran past the fallen Earth Force soldier. He suddenly frowned and said, "I feel like something's not right. Although Harborton wasn't very friendly to us before, he at least didn't interfere with our actions, letting us do whatever we wanted. But why did he have us captured after we returned from that ship?"

"Mmm, I was thinking about this just now too," Eshe nodded, narrowing her eyes. "I think something might have happened on the Archangel. From the questions just now, I realized someone suspected our identities and started investigating us. And those photos also felt very strange. Why show me so many photos and ask if I recognized the people in them? I estimate that many of the people in those photos are closely related to our current identities."

"Does that mean our identities have been exposed?" Harvey's expression changed drastically.

Eshe shook her head. "No, they won't guess our true identities. Why, what exactly happened on that ship?"

No matter how hard the three of them thought, they couldn't come up with a satisfactory answer. They could only be sure that something might have happened on the Archangel that made Harborton suspect their identities. However, they would never have imagined that there was another participant on that ship, and this participant knew everything they didn't.

Eshe hadn't dismissed this possibility either. She had suspected if there were other participants on that ship, but after thinking about it, she felt it was unlikely. After all, the Archangel appearing at Heliopolis, the birthplace of all participants, was something no one could have predicted. Moreover, the eight-hour countdown was like a death knell, urging them to find various ways to leave Heliopolis. When the Archangel appeared, most participants had already boarded the escape pods or left Heliopolis.

Even if they were unlucky and couldn't find a way to leave, it wouldn't be so easy to board the Archangel. Even if they were lucky, Eshe thought from their perspective, it would be absolutely impossible to influence the decision of a fleet admiral. Even if there were participants on the Archangel, once both sides chose a faction, their future interests would be bound together, and there would be no need to target each other. This would be a lose-lose situation for both parties.

But Eshe couldn't have imagined that the participant on the Archangel, Xiao Ran, even though he chose the Earth Force, was not in the same faction as the Earth Force they had chosen. For Xiao Ran, his faction consisted of only himself. All participants could be considered his enemies. Once other participants were near him, he couldn't rely on his familiarity with the plot to gain an advantage. Because if anyone noticed anything amiss, the one in danger would definitely not be the other participants, but only the weak Earthling, Xiao Ran, who couldn't defeat any other participant, would be truly endangered.

Eshe shook her head and suddenly thought of a possibility. "I think, perhaps it's because of what that group of idiots did on Heliopolis that implicated us. We have too many similarities with that group. To better complete the Main Mission two, we displayed many abilities that the Low-species humans simply don't have. Could it be for this reason that people have linked us with that group?"

"Big Sister, you mean we're being mistaken for being with that group of idiots?" Sman frowned and let out a heavy snort. "Those idiots courted death themselves and implicated us. If I meet those guys who escaped, I'll definitely make them pay!"

"I'll kill them!" Harvey's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared ferociously, "I'll skin them alive and make them slowly taste the most unbearable pain in this world!"
