Chapter 143
It was as if last night was just a dream for Han Fei.
Han Fei didn't care about any of that. After giving a few instructions, he said goodbye to the girls and walked alone towards the evacuation point.
Not long after, he arrived at the control room alone.
At that moment, there was only one person standing in the central control room.
Kal'tsit.
"Good morning."
Han Fei greeted her naturally.
Kal'tsit turned to Han Fei, her face expressionless, and said, "Good morning. Aren't your teammates with you?"
"They went to the evacuation point to wait for me," Han Fei explained. "I forgot to tell you, I'm leaving soon, let's keep in touch via communicator."
Volume 1: Chapter 176 Return
"So urgent?"
A flicker of emotion crossed Kal'tsit's eyes, but it vanished in an instant.
"Won't you stay a few more days?"
"No, my mission is almost over." Han Fei shrugged. "I'd like to stay a few more days, but unfortunately, I don't have the chance for now."
"Yeah."
Kal'tsit's expression changed noticeably; she frowned but said nothing, instead sighing, "Very well."
She looked up into Han Fei's eyes and said, word by word, "You need to keep a close eye on Theresa. If Theresis finds out, he might not let this go."
I understand what you mean.
Han Fei nodded and said solemnly, "I will protect her."
As he spoke, he dropped his serious expression and waved his hand, saying, "But you don't need to worry so much, he won't find it."
Was Theresis powerful?
That's definitely impressive. If Theresis really sets her sights on you, it'll be a real problem.
But Han Fei was indeed not flustered.
The Special Operations Center, which has been discussed so often, will no longer be mentioned.
Take this mission for example. Han Fei himself doesn't know where he'll end up next, so there's even less reason for Theresis to know!
Terra is quite large; it's a vast land.
Han Fei really couldn't believe he was so unlucky as to run right into Theresis's face with Theresa.
As long as they don't run into each other, given Han Fei's style of operation, Han Fei would have already made a quick getaway with his men by the time Theresis to surround and annihilate them.
Unless Theresis can lay an ambush throughout Terra, making Han Fei an encirclement wherever he goes, there's really no reason for Theresis to catch him.
--If Theresis had that kind of power, he could have surrounded the entire Terra, and Kazdel would have risen to power long ago.
"Confidence is a good thing, but don't be complacent," Kal'tsit cautioned. "I've seen too many cases where overconfidence has led to failure."
"OK."
Han Fei nodded seriously, to prevent Kal'tsit from having any wild thoughts.
Seeing this, Kal'tsit didn't say anything more and asked, "Since you're leaving, why did you come here?"
Han Fei was also straightforward, saying frankly, "I'll pull the plug."
"?"
Kal'tsit visibly paused for a moment.
She considered many reasons, but pulling the plug was clearly not one of them.
Han Fei waved his hand, signaling Kal'tsit to ignore him. "It's alright, don't worry about me, you go about your own business."
But Kal'tsit couldn't ignore it; her gaze remained fixed on Han Fei.
He walked straight to a small corner and pulled the power switch.
Kal'tsit frowned slightly and said, "This is a power switch. Why are you pulling it?"
Han Fei blinked and replied truthfully, "For evacuation."
"..."
Kal'tsit looked at Han Fei expressionlessly, but her eyes conveyed a message—why don't you want to listen to what you're saying?
Are power outages and evacuations the same thing?
If he were a typical Terra native, Kal'tsit would only think he was sick and needed medical intervention.
But Han Fei clearly didn't seem like someone with a mental illness; his speech was clear and his logic was sound.
More importantly, he is human.
Kal'tsit knew very well how technologically advanced the pre-civilization humans were born into.
Therefore, between the two options: he has a mental illness or he is hiding a secret.
Kal'tsit instinctively chose the latter.
Kal'tsit shook her head, clearing her mind of the jumbled thoughts, and said, "Unfortunately, I can't see you off. I'm a bit busy right now, so I can only wish you a safe journey."
"And regarding our cooperation, I will contact you if there are any follow-up missions. Please don't lose that communicator; please keep it safe."
"OK."
Han Fei nodded slightly and said, "Then I'll be going now."
Having said that, Han Fei didn't stop and darted out.
"Take care, one..."
Before Kal'tsit could finish speaking, Han Fei had already vanished.
Seeing this, Kal'tsit shook her head and said softly, "What an impatient fellow."
She turned her head and looked at the list of tasks to be completed, and her mood immediately became heavy again.
For a fleeting moment, she wanted to see exactly how Han Fei would evacuate, but the responsibilities on her shoulders prevented her from leaving.
The Doctor is dizzy, Theresa is "dead," and the main elite forces have just withdrawn from Kazdel.
At that time, the Babel had no one to share its burdens.
Therefore, even though Kal'tsit really wanted to see what Han Fei was up to and give him a ride, the heavy burden of responsibility made her feel like she had taken root in the ground, and she couldn't leave at all.
But now, recalling Han Fei's retreating figure, Kal'tsit suddenly changed her mind.
She couldn't see Han Fei off, but standing on the bridge and glancing at him from afar, it seemed like it wouldn't take too long.
With that thought, Kal'tsit closed the open document and stepped outside.
In reality, Han Fei was running away in such a hurry not because he didn't want to stay there, but simply because he didn't have enough time.
The Babel's foregate only has 4 minutes. The Rhodes Island's hull is large, so although it's not a matter of "mygo," if he misses, he'll have to pull it again.
That would be very troublesome.
Why not just get it done all at once?
So Han Fei ran as fast as he could, and managed to reach the evacuation point with 30 seconds left on the countdown.
At that time, there were a total of 7 people at the evacuation point, including him.
In addition to his three former teammates, he also brought Theresa, Closure, and Ines.
Everyone else remained the same, except that Theresa had put on a dark robe and lowered her hood, which was quite a change in appearance.
The robe was exceptionally loose, making it almost impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman inside.
This was also Theresa's disguise.
Upon seeing Han Fei return, Lemuen immediately rushed over, grabbed Han Fei arm, and pulled him towards the evacuation point, saying, "Boss, you're finally here! Only 30 seconds left!"
"I'm back now, aren't I?"
Han Fei did not resist and was dragged into the evacuation point by Lemuen.
Texas, her gaze fixed on Han Fei, asked, "What happened on the way?"
"I ran into Kal'tsit when I was pulling the plug, and we chatted for a bit," Han Fei said casually.
"She must be very busy right now."
Theresa spoke softly, her words tinged with a faint sadness.
"That's not necessarily true."
Lemuen raised her chin and looked at the massive landship. Her eyesight was excellent, and she could clearly see a green figure on the bridge.
Theresa was initially puzzled, but seeing Lemuen's expression, she looked over as well.
Then she saw that small figure, whose features were almost indistinguishable.
Even from a distance, Theresa recognized the person at a glance, a faint smile playing on her lips, "It's Kal'tsit."
"It's a pity there wasn't time to say goodbye."
In Han Fei's vision, a countdown has already begun.
6!
5!
As the countdown drew closer, Han Fei instinctively grabbed Theresa's arm.
Seeing this, Lemuen and Texas also grabbed Closure and Ines's arms respectively.
The three women whose arms were being grabbed instinctively looked puzzled, but they didn't voice their doubts.
Because the helicopter has arrived.
On the bridge, Kal'tsit's pupils contracted slightly.
She was certain she hadn't seen when the helicopter arrived; it was as if it had appeared out of thin air above Han Fei and his group.
Therefore, Kal'tsit subconsciously kept her eyes fixed on the helicopter.
She watched as the helicopter grew farther and farther away, smaller and smaller, until suddenly it disappeared from her sight.
"Is this all you've got?"
Suddenly, Kal'tsit felt relieved. "That's true. As a human, how could one survive until now without anything special?"
"But you, so you didn't just take Theresa with you, did you?"
Kal'tsit bit her lip. She clearly saw that Closure, an excellent support staff member, had also boarded the helicopter next to Theresa.
For a fleeting moment, she even wondered if this guy's plan from the very beginning was to steal someone from the Babel.
Otherwise, how could he have so clearly defined his target in such a short time?
Not only did they kidnap Theresa, but they also took away an excellent logistics operator!
Thinking about this, Kal'tsit suddenly felt a little tired.
Not only did they lose their leader, Theresa, but they also had a logistics operator abducted.
"This guy is really treating the Babel like a job fair."
Kal'tsit sighed. Everyone was gone, so she didn't have any good solutions.
"Well, I hope he'll treat them well. But this guy, he really is..."
Kal'tsit shook her head, unsure how to describe Han Fei for a moment.
Unbeknownst to her, in the distance, a penguin-shaped Beast Lord had already trembled twice because of Han Fei.
Each tremor was accompanied by a premonition that one's luck was being stolen.
However, Kessil naturally wouldn't remain in this mood forever; she quickly adjusted and transformed her mental exhaustion into motivation.
"Now that you've run off with my people, it won't be so easy to contact them again next time."
Kal'tsit naturally wouldn't do nothing; she had already decided that next time, if there was a tricky task, she would pass it on to Han Fei.
