Instigation

"That's not Colonel Chloe!" Upon receiving the report, Cleary ran over, but upon seeing the female Riken Race figure inside the silk cocoon, his initial enthusiasm instantly cooled.

Unlike ordinary soldiers who had only seen photos, Cleary had actually met Chloe. As a close confidant of Major Porter, he had seen Chloe quite a few times.

Therefore, he was able to tell at a glance that the person in front of him was not Chloe.

Although this female Ricken was not Chloe, Cleary recognized her; she was Chloe's Adjutant, and her name was something like Rita or Lixia.

The Adjutant had already woken up, her eyes filled with surprise. Cleary didn't ask her about the situation; based on past experience, it would take at least two days for the rescued Riken Person to regain their ability to speak, so asking now would be pointless.

However, although they didn't find Chloe, it's still half good news, since Chloe's Adjutant is here, which means they're on the right track.

If Chloe is still alive, she should be here too.

Looking at the cocoon, which is only one-third open, there's still a lot of hope.

Cleary ordered everyone to speed things up; a promotion and a raise were just around the corner. The previously slow team saw hope and their box-opening speed suddenly increased.

Meanwhile, Cleary also circulated Chloe's portrait to the team again. Given the situation at the time, an entire Gunboat, fully loaded with dozens of people, was missing, including many young female nurses. If they were to be found and then suddenly attacked like this, the ups and downs might be too much for their hearts to handle.

Good news always comes unexpectedly. Just half an hour later, in the same cabin, not far from where the Adjutant's cocoon was found, a soldier successfully opened the box.

This time it's not fake, it's the real Chloe.

Overjoyed at confirming her identity, Cleary abandoned the search and personally led a Special Operations Team to escort Chloe back to the surface.

Without rest, the team was dispatched by Major General Porter, who had received the message, to take them directly to a Transport Craft orbiting in outer space.

Since Chloe had been missing for several days and her fate was unknown, the original highest-ranking officer of the Chloe Base could not remain vacant for long, especially since it had suffered heavy damage and urgently needed someone to take charge and lead the overall situation.

In this situation, the base had naturally changed its name and ownership, and even Major Porter couldn't stop it from happening. Besides, the successor was also from their faction, so he had even less reason to stop it.

Fortunately, as long as one is alive, there is hope. Major General Porter comforted Chloe, who was still unable to move or speak, hoping that this experience would help this junior grow up faster.

A few days later, Chloe, who had begun to recover, Visit and thanked her superiors and elders, including General Masai and Major General Porter, before returning to her warship without asking any further questions about the base.

When the elders met, they all sighed inwardly, thinking that the child had probably suffered a shock and they wondered if he could pull through. If he figured it out, his future would be smoother; if he didn't, he would be ruined.

Several psychologists were dispatched to Chloe's warship to assist her recovery. The doctors suggested that Chloe should try to vent her frustrations by doing more things, which would help her feel much better.

The Insect Nest that captured Chloe was truly a unique Insect Nest. After losing millions of insects, they retreated for several days, but resumed their hunting that very night after the Riken Race forces withdrew from the Granary...

Somehow, the news reached Chloe was already withdrawn, and she was so angry that she went on a rampage, smashing a lot of things.

"General, a fusion reaction has occurred in area 34! Ah! Once again! The energy levels of the two reactions are similar; based on the yield, it could be our Tactical Nuclear Bomb!"

General Masai was sipping a hot drink. The past few days had been peaceful. With the increasing number of battles between the Riken Race and the Zerg, the Riken Race army had quickly accumulated some combat experience, and those damned Zerg were no longer a threat.

Defenses at each base have been significantly strengthened, with monitoring equipment and Sentry increased more than tenfold. Although as many as twelve Insect Nest have been Granary by the Riken Race, apart from the original Chloe Base, the other bases, while also subjected to retaliatory attacks, have not experienced any major incidents.

The Zerg raiding force was discovered and destroyed before it even reached the edge of the base.

General Masai even felt it was time to terraform planet T853, making it the second naturally Life Star for the Riken Race. But just then, the crew member at the lower end of the stern suddenly reported the situation.

What the hell? Two Nuclear Bomb exploded? Who's causing this mess? Are they trying to ruin my peace and quiet?

Ordinary Riken Race troops are not equipped with Tactical Nuclear Bomb, while Special Operations Team are equipped with two Tactical Nuclear Bomb as standard. Now that the two Nuclear Bomb have detonated almost simultaneously, the answer is self-evident.

"Take a look, which Special Operations Team is nearby?"

All the Riken Race soldiers have Personal Terminal, making it easy to locate them in the absence of magnetic shielding on the ground.

An information sheet was projected onto a screen in front of the general.

The picture above is actually of Kaida.

Kaida, a former patrol Captain and a seasoned veteran, was the first to alert the Zerg when they were ambushed. Kaida was also the first Riken Race to be rescued from the Insect Nest's Granary.

Later, while recuperating at Chloe Base, the base was attacked by the Zerg. He took the initiative to step forward and led many wounded soldiers in a tenacious resistance. Although his actions in sending Chloe away are debatable, his character of risking his life to cover the retreat of his superiors was still recognized by many of the Riken Race.

At that time, after sending Chloe away, Kaida led his team to stubbornly resist the Zerg attack for nearly five minutes, holding out until the rescue team arrived and successfully being rescued.

Subsequently, after Chloe was rescued and returned, he did not suffer any retaliation from Chloe. Instead, he was given an important position and promoted to Captain of TZ131 Squad, directly under Chloe's command.

"What a lucky fellow." General Masai sighed inwardly. After seeing Kaida's resume and combining it with the information he had received from the Chloe warship, he understood what had happened.

Area 34 is located next to the original Chloe Base, the site of the Insect Nest where Chloe was captured. These two Nuclear Bomb were likely dropped by Kaida at Chloe's behest, as revenge.

Sure enough, just as he figured out the cause and effect and was pondering how to handle the matter, Major General Porter called.

The content was almost exactly as he had guessed: the Nuclear Bomb was ordered to be dropped by Chloe, and it was just a young man venting his anger; it wasn't a big deal. Otherwise, the matter could have been left as is, as a way of giving him face.
