On the airship, Silin, Pride and Hard were arranged to stay in the same sickroom. Sird and Knight were also in the same sickroom. Although Knight wasn't injured, Huo Neil still arranged for him to go back first. Knight had no objections to this, and he felt a bit more at ease guarding the sickroom himself in case another assassination attempt occurred.
Since the matter had come to an end, Silin 'recovered' very quickly. Right now, the five of them were chatting in the room. Three were lying down, two were sitting, and three were lying down. Sird was peeling fruits, and Knight was narrating the news he had just heard.
"I heard that the big black mouse had doubled its chromosomes after mutation, and produced a batch of little black mice asexually. Uh … the form is just like the queen and drones of bees. But I don't know the specifics, so people from other research bases went over to study it together. You know, if the results of this research were to come out, it would at least be published in an academic electronic journal with more than seventy contribution points in the League of Stars. Then they would become famous."
"Don't the people in the research base have any psychological trauma at all?" Sird asked. Even now, whenever he talked about mice, he would recall the scene where he brushed past those black mice and felt an uncontrollable chill.
"That's what those people like. For example, if you were shot in the middle of an operation and managed to survive, would you be afraid of being robbed? Would you pick up a gun and participate in an operation next time? "
"Of course I would participate in an operation! What's there to be afraid of with a gun? Isn't it normal to get shot? "
"They are the same. Isn't it normal for them to research strange things? Sigh, don't interrupt me, I'll continue. "Knight cleared his throat and continued," I heard that those black mice produced a certain enzyme in their mutated bodies that allows them to continuously breathe without oxygen for a period of time. This also explains why they could stay in the deep underground cavern for such a long time. "
Knight was a person who always had an 'I'm impatient' look on his face when facing others, but he had a different attitude and was a lot more talkative towards those he acknowledged.
Seeing Knight's' I'm an expert 'look, Pride glanced sideways and snorted, "What a shame!"
"Oh ho, you have a problem with us, young master? Why don't you take a look at yourself? It's understandable that Silin and Hard were injured, but what about you? Young Master Useless Burden? "When he saw Pride glaring at him indignantly, Knight threw a grape at him. "Don't tell me that you can't tell that the people in your group are special agents."
"It's precisely because I can tell that they are special agents that I don't want to be next to them!"
"That's why you deserved to be scratched by the black mice. Was that something you could handle alone? Do you think you're a Star-level Hunter or a Heavenly Edict Warrior? Use your brain more, or else you'll never catch up to your brother, Ji Feihang! "
"If I can't become a Heavenly Edict Warrior, do you think you can?"
"At least I became one before you did," Knight said disdainfully. If it wasn't for Ji Feihang asking him to take care of him, would he even care about this idiot?
When Sird saw that Pride was about to charge over and fight to the death, Sird immediately went up to mediate.
Silin was amused as he watched from the side. If Sird didn't step forward to mediate, Pride would probably get beaten up by Knight again. Similar incidents had already happened a few times.
However, the Heavenly Edict Warriors and Star-ranked Hunters that Knight mentioned caught Silin's attention.
There were countless Hunters in the League of Stars, and those who stood at the top were awarded the title of 'Star', which was what Knight referred to as Star-ranked Hunters. Currently, in the Hunter world of the League of Stars, there were a total of six people who held the title of 'Star'. The leaders of the four great Hunter regiments were all Star-ranked Hunters, and there were also two elusive loners. These six people were collectively known as the Six Stars of Hunter.
In the army, the Heavenly Edict Warriors held the highest honor among warriors, and were awarded the title of 'Heavenly Edict'. However, they were too mysterious, and many things were classified as top secret by the army. To the public, they only existed in legends. Even the descendants of generals like Knight and Pride were not clear about them. They only knew that there were four of them.
The Four Heavenly Edict Generals and the Six Stars of Hunter were the lifelong goals of warriors and Hunters in this era.
"Only after this mission did we realize the difference between students and the regular army. We still need to work hard," Hard sighed as he lay on his sickbed.
Hearing Hard's words, Knight and Pride looked at Silin at the same time without saying a word.
"Hey, what kind of reward do you think the school will give us after we return?" Sird said expectantly.
"Reward?" Knight rubbed his chin, "It's either credits or money. However, we will record a military merit in our files. It may not be a lot, but it's at least an honor. It will be more useful if we mix into the army in the future."
"That's good enough. Military merit is enough." Hard grinned.
When they arrived at Planet Seven Lights, the warship stopped at the space station and was transported by a spaceplane. They landed at the training division's special port. Silin and Hard were pushed out in wheelchairs. Originally, Pride was supposed to be pushed as well, but he did not sit on it for the sake of his pride.
A lot of people were already gathered at the training division's port, and some of Seven Lights' higher-ups were present as well. After all, this operation was due to the accident at Seven Lights' research base. The students of the training division were all present, and so were Lung and Ci Jincheng. However, Lung was winking at Silin and pointing towards a certain direction with his chin. There was a very familiar long flying car parked there.
After Silin was pushed out of the spaceplane, a person walked down from the flying car. When Knight saw that person, he abandoned Silin and retreated without any sense of loyalty. From the looks of it, he was trying to hide as far away as possible.
When Silin saw the newcomer, the corner of his lips twitched, "Why are you here …"
Mo Heng looked at Silin seriously from head to toe with a stern face. After confirming that he had recovered well, he raised his hand and pinched.
At the training division's port, the students and school higher-ups who came to greet and comfort the wounded, and the people who came down from the spaceplanes added up to several thousand people. Under the gazes of these several thousand people, Silin was pinched and reprimanded by Mo Heng. Mo Heng's strong and vigorous voice could be heard in the huge port.
There were a lot of seniors among the students who came here, and they had only seen Mo Heng's amiable appearance before. When had they ever seen vice headmaster Mo like this? Every single one of them fell silent. Just looking at Silin's face pinched by Mo Heng was enough to make their faces hurt.
However, the school higher-ups were surprised. Those who knew Mo Heng well knew that he would only pinch someone's face if it was someone he cared a lot about. Moreover, Mo Heng might look like he was reprimanding Silin, but he was actually telling everyone else that this kid was under his protection, and they would have to go through this old man first if they wanted to touch him.
Ten trade Sectors, inside a manor on a planet at Sector D that was not far away from the bustling city.
Aiflon was watering leisurely with a watering can, and behind him, Officer Sopho was reporting the situation.
"... Those families have suffered quite a bit from this incident. The military's seizure of supplies, the government's sudden investigation, the termination of business partnerships, and even the famous academics who were invited as guests have changed their minds …"
Aiflon did not react much to the report. After he was done watering, he put down the watering can and wiped his hands with a towel Sopho passed to him. Then, he said, "Triple his bounty this time."
"Yes. Then … the person responsible for contacting Seven Lights …"
"Follow the original plan."
"Alright, I'll get to it right away."
