Chapter 107 Hidden Stake

After knowing where Qiao Shan was going, Qi Yiming felt relieved.

In fact, Qi Yiming's hatred for the assassin organization, the Light of Human Evolution, was not as great as Qiao Shan's, but just because they killed so many companions of the same era as him, Qi Yiming would never let them go.

But now is not the right time. The real foundation has just started, and there is no time to care about those mentally ill people with poor brains.

Qi Yiming does not take the initiative to cause trouble, but it does not mean that others will not cause trouble for him.

After Song Shixiong and Mao Qiming agreed on all the conditions, he immediately began to arrange the assassination of Qi Yiming.

What Mao Qiming had to do was to lead the security fleet to the Ancestor Star again, and after Qi Yiming was successfully assassinated, he would take over Gaia Star while it was in chaos, and thus successfully obtain the technological heritage.

The two people made a very thorough plan, and Song Shixiong's men could be said to be the most capable group of forces in their organization. In the previous assassination operations, his men had never failed.

This time, he sent his strongest assassination team to carry out the mission, which gave Mao Qiming more confidence.

In order not to expose their plan too early, Mao Qiming did not rush to lead the newly replenished security fleet to the ancestral star field.

Instead, he stayed at the headquarters of the Flamingo Arms Group with peace of mind, and acted very calmly, as if the assassination of Qi Yiming had nothing to do with him.

In fact, he was more anxious than anyone else. He contacted Song Shixiong several times a day to ask about the progress of the matter.

Song Shixiong was not a participant in the assassination, so how could he know the details? He could only constantly comfort Mao Qiming and tell him that the operation was going smoothly and asked him not to be anxious.

Just as Song Shixiong said, the entire operation went very smoothly in the early stage.

The leader of the team carrying out the assassination mission was Liu Chao. His team was originally a scientific expedition team, so there was no need to deliberately cover it up.

When their research ship appeared in the Awakener Galaxy with black smoke coming out of its engine, the people who were already on alert immediately spotted the research ship.

The Xuefeng immediately set sail and went to meet it with several frigates left behind.

"Attention, unidentified ship, you have entered the control range of Gaia Star. Please state your identity and purpose, otherwise we will use force!" Qi Yiming shouted to the ship that suddenly appeared in the Awakener Galaxy through wide-area communication.

There was a noisy electric current sound in the wide-area communication channel, and then someone spoke intermittently: "We... are... the Warrior... research ship! I am Captain Liu Chao, we encountered a meteorite impact, thank God! We can actually encounter human civilization here! I thought we were dead..."

"Please slow down... wait for us to board the ship for inspection..." Qi Yiming didn't buy it. Although it was a research ship, the timing of its appearance was too strange. It didn't come early or late, but waited until Mao Qiming was repelled before it appeared. This had to make Qi Yiming suspicious.

Liu Chao just helplessly told Qi Yiming through the wide area communication that their warship engine had a serious malfunction. If they slowed down now, they might not be able to set sail again.

But the Warrior still slowly reduced the speed of navigation according to Qi Yiming's request.

When Qi Yiming was about to board the ship for inspection, he was stopped by Wang Shuhua who came in a hurry, "You can't go..."

After that, Wang Shuhua's ship, the Expedition, rushed to the research ship with smoke coming out of its butt before the Xuefeng.

Qi Yiming had to let the Xuefeng fly around the research ship and be ready to support Wang Shuhua at any time.

However, Liu Chao cooperated very well throughout the whole process and did not reveal any flaws.

After Wang Shuhua boarded the ship for inspection, he did not find anything wrong. The Warrior was indeed a research ship, and Wang Shuhua also personally inspected the place where the meteorite penetrated. There were indeed meteorite residues left in the hull, which could not be faked.

It can only be said that Liu Chao really risked his life to complete this mission. Before entering the Awakener Galaxy, he deliberately let the Warrior fly through the asteroid belt, found a small meteorite and asked his men to drive the transport boat to push it, creating the illusion of being accidentally hit by the meteorite, and deliberately created several casualties.

After careful screening, Qi Yiming asked several frigates that came with the Xuefeng to tow the Warrior back to the high orbit area of ​​Gaia Star, and told Liu Chao that Gaia Star could not repair the engine of the Warrior that was damaged by the meteorite at present, and they might have to think of a new way.

Liu Chao first showed a disappointment, and then said to Qi Yiming: "Several of my crew members were injured and urgently needed treatment..."

Qi Yiming nodded and said: "The injured can take the transport boat to the surface of the planet, and we will provide them with treatment."

"Thank you so much..." Then the communication channel became quiet, and Liu Chao did not make any other requests.

He knew that assassination was something that one must not be too hasty about. In addition, his target Qi Yiming seemed to be very cautious. If he made too many requests, it would be easy to reveal his true colors and it would be disadvantageous to approach Qi Yiming.

Qi Yiming was indeed deceived by Liu Chao's superb acting skills.

Fortunately, Qi Yiming was not interested in this research ship. He just arranged for Liu Bishu to contact them, and he took Wang Shuhua to leave the Awakener Galaxy.

Qi Yiming went to the border galaxy bordering the Ancestral Star Region and the Commercial Alliance in advance to carefully explore it. After all, there is a high possibility of a defensive war there in the future, and the situation in the galaxy must be fully understood.

Under the guidance of Liu Bishu, Liu Chao drove the transport boat and landed on the surface of Gaia with the wounded.

He did not ask who was the leader here, and he followed Liu Bishu all the way. He went wherever Liu Bishu told him to go, and looked at the crew lying on the anti-gravity bed beside him with a worried look.

"Don't worry, Captain Liu. Although Gaia can't repair your research ship, it is still no problem to treat your crew." Liu Bishu seemed to have a very good impression of Liu Chao and kept comforting him all the way.

"These old friends of mine have been with me for many years. If I hadn't been too radical this time, such a serious accident would not have occurred." Liu Chao said with a look of regret, and his expression was very good.

The man lying on the bed was also a movie star-level figure, comforting Liu Chao in an extremely weak voice: "It's not your fault, it's because everyone wants to produce scientific research results too much..."

Liu Bishu also helped: "Deep space scientific research is a very dangerous thing. Captain Liu doesn't have to blame himself for an accident occasionally. We will be at the hospital soon. Let your friends talk less and save some energy."

Liu Chao nodded, but he kept observing the surrounding environment calmly, and from time to time he exchanged glances with his teammates on the bed when Liu Bishu, who was accompanying them, was not paying attention.

In this way, Liu Chao and his Warrior and the crew on the Warrior stayed in the Awakener Galaxy for the time being.
