Why Are We Surrounded?

Two hours later, the Star-borne Ship appeared above Dingchuan Academy and was slowly descending.

A large number of soldiers had already gathered below. Lin Hao couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at the scene below, "Why is the military arranging such a high-level reception? Even the Landu Star Special Guard has been mobilized."

"Perhaps this special training has received more attention from above."

"I haven't even given a detailed report yet, people are already impatient."

The ship shook, and my body swayed slightly before the shaking stopped.

"We've landed. We're... back!"

"Dingchuan, we're back!"

The boys' emotions were finally completely liberated at this moment.

The two weeks of fighting on the alien planet were nothing but bugs, and in the end, even the base was completely captured. These two short weeks felt like half a year.

In the vastness of space, I felt like a rootless duckweed, and only now have I found a sense of belonging.

Mu Fan stood among a group of students, a smile on his face. He was finally able to return to normal academy life.

Moreover, in the distant heavens, a mottled warship flew into Meteorite Belt and then disappeared.

"Please stand in line and disembark in an orderly manner after the hatches are opened."

The transport cabin door slowly closed, and the person at the front stepped out first.

But he was soon taken aback.

Because there are... too many soldiers nearby, right?

A colonel stood quietly in front, his hands behind his back, watching the personnel continuously emerge from the Star-borne Ship, his face expressionless.

As Mu Fan walked out, he immediately noticed the colonel at the front. It wasn't his rank or status, but rather the coldness in his eyes, which showed no joy or congratulations.

Why look at the returning troops with that kind of gaze?

Mu Fan kept a close eye on things and quietly tugged at the White Hair beside him.

"Don't speak yet, the atmosphere is a bit off."

"What's wrong... why do these soldiers all look so lifeless?" White Hair noticed something was amiss after Mu Fan reminded him.

And all those soldiers were armed!

White Hair, who was familiar with firearms, would not mistake these for Pulse Rifle, Binqi k31 Type, which were only issued to personnel actually involved in combat.

These are the firearms that soldiers are actually equipped with!

The White Hair boy, frowning, obediently followed Mu Fan down to the bottom.

As more and more people gathered, they began to line up on their own. At first, the atmosphere was cheerful and lively, but they soon noticed the awkward atmosphere around them.

Mu Fan had already scanned the area and noticed something.

That is...

None of them were faces I had ever seen before.

Whether it's the teaching staff of the Dingchuan Academy or the personnel of Starship No. 2 who arrived earlier.

Where did they all go?

All 98 trainees have assembled, and two have been permanently placed on 131st Asteroid.

Then came the military personnel stationed at the Dingchuan Special Training Base.

This time, Lin Hao was leading the way, followed by a group of officers from the ship.

When Lin Hao appeared, a flicker of emotion finally appeared in the eyes of the colonel standing in front of the armed troops.

Then step forward.

As soon as he moved, the two guards beside him followed him forward in a row.

The commotion quickly caught everyone's attention.

The soldiers around him also gripped their weapons tightly, a movement that Mu Fan keenly noticed once again.

"Welcome back, Major Lin."

Lin Hao looked up at the colonel approaching him, his expression slightly changing, but he still responded with a military salute, "Colonel Li!"

His mind was already filled with suspicion. Colonel Li Shen, the highest Command Department the Landu Star Operations Department, always seemed to be involved in something shady.

As Administrative Star Landu Star has not yet experienced the ravages of war, so some people secretly say that Li Shen's mind is now entirely focused on how to deal with his own people.

This provides a reasonable explanation for the emergence of the Landu Star Special Guard Team.

Li Shen is leading the team... Is he going to attack our side?

"Please allow me Major Lin, to speak privately, and order the personnel of the Star-borne Ship to undergo auditing by the garrison."

This blunt remark immediately caused an uproar among the crowd.

Subject to review!?

What happened to them? They had just escaped death from Planet 131, and on the way they encountered a robbery by space pirates. After a bumpy journey, they were surrounded by a group of heavily armed soldiers as soon as they landed, who said they were being interrogated!

"Why are you surrounding us?" Lin Hao didn't answer directly, but asked in return.

But suddenly, a furious voice burst out beside him. "Major Lin, why are you asking him! What kind of interrogation is this? I just got back from a near-death experience and I'm being interrogated by my own people! I'm going back now, let's see who dares to stop me!"

One hot-tempered soldier immediately lost his temper. He was the gunner of the Light Leopard Squad, and the big boy Pajie, who came from the Zicui Star test site with Mu Fan, was with this veteran.

After saying that, the veteran angrily turned to leave.

Colonel Li Shen noticed the situation around him, but without turning around, he simply raised one finger with his left hand.

Just as the veteran was about to approach the surrounding soldiers, one of the soldiers suddenly swung his rifle butt and smashed it directly into his abdomen.

The veteran instantly bent over like a shrimp and couldn't straighten up. Two strong soldiers appeared and held his shoulders down, making it impossible for him to move no matter how much he struggled.

Li Shen's voice was as calm and collected as his appearance. "I advise everyone not to act rashly. This review is a normal review approved by the military. I personally do not want to see the consequences of disobeying military orders."

Click!

The synchronized gunfire silenced the crew on the Star-borne Ship, preventing them from making any further moves.

Now all the gun barrels were pointed at them. These members of the elite special security team were all top soldiers. The murderous aura that erupted in this instant finally quelled the people's restlessness.

Li Shen looked at Lin Hao with a half-smile. "I believe Colonel Qi wouldn't want you to disobey the military's orders either. I request that Major Lin order a proper review. After all, this is an order from the military."

Taking a deep breath, Lin Hao suppressed his anger and addressed the trainees and accompanying officers and soldiers. "Accept the audit!"

In the military, a higher rank can have absolute power.

Without a legitimate reason, Lin Hao simply could not refuse Li Shen's order.

"Major Lin is indeed pragmatic; I'm sure Colonel Qi will be very pleased to see this." With a subtle, unvarnished sneer, Li Shen waved his hand. "Lead Major Lin."

Lin Hao's eye muscles were twitching. From the very beginning, Li Shen had shown great hostility towards Qi Longxiang, so no matter what the other party said, he knew that this matter was definitely not easy to deal with.

Mu Fan and the others watched as Lin Hao and the other starship officers were escorted away by a group of fully armed guards.

"You are all the future of the military, so rest assured that the military will not do anything to you."

Li Shen gave the order again, and the surrounding guards parted to make way for the trainees to enter one by one.

Standing with his arms crossed on the stern hatch of the transport ship, watching the backs of the crowd obediently leaving along the passage, Li Shen wore a cold smile.

Mu Fan and White Hair, along with about ten others, entered the dark armored vehicle at the signal of a group of soldiers.

With a loud bang, darkness enveloped the space, and most of the various sounds outside instantly vanished.

In this confined environment, a silent sense of oppression descends.

As the engine roared to life, White Hair nudged Mu Fan. "What do we do now?"

Mu Fan closed his eyes to rest, his eyelids not lifting, but his soft voice inexplicably gave his companions in the car a sense of reassurance.

"To be honest, let's wait and see."
