Only when Chi Yao finished speaking and cut off the control with a smile did the system warning on the Cygnus warship automatically lift.

The command cabin was deathly silent; no one dared to breathe loudly.

What was controlled before was just a warship (fighter/small vessel), but unexpectedly Extreme Shadow could even control the main warship. Truly as abnormal as rumors said.

The Cygnus adjutant gritted his teeth and said to Chen Bingfeng: “The Commander is still in their hands. Please punish them and rescue the Commander!”

Being provoked at his doorstep and cursed while pointed at his nose, Chen Bingfeng was too angry to speak.

“Search for Extreme Shadow’s location and mobilize all firepower!”

The Cygnus adjutant’s spirit lifted: “Yes!”

On Extreme Shadow’s warship, Chi Yao watched the surveillance screen, grabbed a strawberry, bit off the sweetest part, and held it out.

“Xi—”

Just as he spoke, he suddenly snapped back to reality.

Jing Xi wasn’t here.

Tie Xiong was caught off guard and poked in the nose by the strawberry, almost going cross-eyed.

“I don’t want to eat strawberry butt.”

Chi Yao: “…”

He kicked Yin Wei, who was sleeping on the floor, and handed the strawberry over: “Awarded to you.”

Yin Wei leaned over to sniff it, then coldly lay back down to continue sleeping.

Chi Yao: “…”

He took a photo and sent it to Jing Xi.

[Without you here, no one eats strawberry butts for me anymore [Aggrieved]]

Before waiting for a reply, Fang Liang arrived first.

“Hijacking successful.”

Chi Yao chuckled lightly, getting up to walk out.

“Let’s go see.”

Outside the warship, ruins stretched as far as the eye could see.

Chi Yao walked through streets piled with debris and rubble, watching Extreme Shadow’s people driving transport vehicles to unload supplies from the supply ship.

Seeing him coming, people around quickly came over to greet him.

“Boss!”

Chi Yao looked past them at the transport vehicles.

“The beasts in this area should be mostly cleared. Split up and deliver supplies to each centralized evacuation point. If you meet any straggling civilians on the way, pick them up too.”

Others: “Yes!”

Fang Liang watched this: “Are we interfering too much?”

Chi Yao stopped a transport vehicle and told the person inside to get out: “Don’t think so much, we are just space pirates.”

Only after getting in the car did Fang Liang understand the meaning behind these words.

Space pirates always did as they pleased and couldn’t be measured by ordinary people’s standards. It was possible for them to do anything.

Chi Yao tapped on the virtual screen projected on the dashboard. A centralized evacuation point turned from gray to blue.

He rested his hand on the steering wheel, driving at high speed through the messy obstacles.

“Have them fly those two transport ships to the second area.”

Fang Liang in the back seat was closely monitoring the situation on all sides. Hearing this, he immediately conveyed the order.

“Chen Bingfeng has probably discovered he’s been robbed.”

Chi Yao sneered: “So what if he knows? Isn’t robbery supposed to be done face-to-face?”

Fang Liang: “…”

Makes sense.

Arriving at the centralized evacuation point, Chi Yao parked the car at the gate.

This was a very ordinary-looking school. due to its remote location, the scale was also small.

The school gate was closed, with a sensor area beside it.

Chi Yao was too lazy to hack it, letting Xiao Hei do it directly.

Unexpectedly, it opened immediately.

“Black Brother is indeed reliable.” Chi Yao smiled. “Worthy of being me.”

Xiao Hei: [I have military clearance, you don’t.]

Chi Yao: “…”

The greenery everywhere in the school had suffered devastating destruction. The school buildings also showed varying degrees of damage, but hadn’t completely collapsed.

Chi Yao had Fang Liang unload the supplies, while he carried Tie Xiong inside.

Schools generally built emergency evacuation centers underground to prevent sudden beast tide attacks.

It wasn’t hard to find with the signs at the entrance, but entering was a bit difficult.

He stood at the door of a seemingly ordinary utility room and pressed the communication button in the sensor area.

Hearing the noise, the scalps of the nearby residents hiding underground exploded.

Young and strong alphas spontaneously picked up simple weapons to block the exit, bodies tense.

The alpha standing at the very front glanced at them, pressing connect with a vigilant expression.

The small virtual screen flashed, and a supply transport vehicle parked outside appeared in the picture.

“It’s supplies!”

“The military is here! We waited for it!”

“If they didn’t come, we’d starve to death even if we weren’t trampled by beasts!”

In the originally quiet space, growling sounds rose one after another.

Fleeing in a hurry, few people brought dry food with them.

The underground evacuation center had necessary compressed food, but that stuff made you thirstier the more you ate. With so many people, water became the biggest problem.

Just as the crowd began to boil, a child’s face appeared on the screen.

“Wait, why is there a child outside?!”

“Isn’t it the military?”

Amid the noise, they saw that child smack his lips and say in a milky voice: “Anyone who wants to eat, come out for Grandpa (referring to self).”

Crowd: “…”

This way of speaking, why like a hooligan?

A military transport vehicle, plus a child—these two factors were existences that could lower people’s defenses.

Chi Yao waited for a while, and the door finally opened.

The leading alpha stepped out and saw the smiling Chi Yao. With a “Holy shit,” he shrank back and closed the door rapidly.

Chi Yao: “…”

Inside the door, a group of people were confused.

“What are you doing?”

“Are there mutant beasts?!”

“Why come back again? The supply truck left? No ahhhhh”

“Much, much scarier than mutant beasts!”

The alpha tremblingly turned on the monitor on the door. Seeing Chi Yao right in the middle of the screen, he was so scared he almost fell.

“Holy shit!”

“Extreme Shadow’s boss?!”

“How could it be him?!”

“Did, did they really come to massacre?!”

Chi Yao smiled at the camera: “I don’t have that much time to wait for you. The supplies are at the door, move them in yourselves. If you don’t move in half an hour, I don’t guarantee if beasts will come to carry them away.”

Finished speaking, he turned to leave, then thought of something and turned back.

The people inside were scared into another cold sweat by him.

Chi Yao: “The war will end within this week. Don’t panic too much, stay put properly.”

The crowd inside looked at each other, all thinking they were hallucinating from being locked up too long.

That person was Extreme Shadow’s boss, right? Why would he come to deliver supplies to them? And say things only the military would say? Just left like that?

“How many people look this handsome? It must be Chi Yao!”

After getting in the car, Chi Yao drove the empty vehicle toward the supply ship.

In the gap of sending messages, Fang Liang looked at Chi Yao through the rearview mirror and hesitated: “You’ve changed a lot recently.”

Chi Yao met his gaze through the mirror.

“Change?”

Fang Liang nodded: “Before, you definitely wouldn’t have said so much to them.”

Chi Yao smiled: “Just consider it saying it for him. After all, he’s my wife.”

Fang Liang: “…”

Chi Yao looked ahead, voice low: “Being with him for a long time, some of my things as a human seem to be slowly coming back.”

Fang Liang was stunned, then smiled with curved eyes.

“This is a good thing.”

“But he always thinks about sending his husband to jail. Don’t know what’s wrong with him.” Chi Yao rubbed his chin. “He loves me, right?”

Fang Liang kept a wooden face: “Love and hate don’t offset?”

Just as comments about Extreme Shadow overwhelmed the internet, another mysterious unit also received news.

An old man in uniform sat at a desk, three striking red bars embroidered on his cuffs.

The doorbell rang, and the adjutant strode in.

“News from Capital Star. Just as you predicted, Admiral Zhao attempted to use Jing Xi’s matter to pressure Admiral Pei, but it was resolved by Jing Xi. However, because of that string of codes he reported, Admiral Zhao probably thinks we and Admiral Pei have joined forces.”

The old man put down his thermos cup and snorted.

“That old fellow Zhao Hongyi, after so many years still playing these unpresentable tricks.”

The adjutant hesitated: “Also, Xiao Chi is currently being blacked by the whole network. Guess someone is going to be unlucky again.”

The old man leaned back in his chair, rubbing his brow tiredly.

“We don’t need to intervene in Capital Star matters for now. As for Chi Yao’s side—didn’t those brats take a lot of photos?”

The adjutant paused, expression subtle: “Use the same trick back? Too degrading, right?”

The old man looked up and glared at him: “To deal with such low-level tricks, one must use low-level means!”

The adjutant kept a wooden face: “Oh.”

The old man’s face was dark: “Dare to mess with my people. Pretend to inadvertently release Cygnus’s combat data.”

The adjutant: “…”

What is “pretend to inadvertently”?

You really are getting better and better at this.

Cygnus main ship, Chen Bingfeng sat on pins and needles.

Being on Planet 333 for these few days, Cygnus went from active to passive, catching him off guard.

Digging a pit but falling into it himself, losing the initiative, unable to truly surpass Flying Dragon in military exploits.

If remarks like “Chen Bingfeng is inferior to Jing Xi” spread online, what face did he have to stay in the military?!

If he could control Extreme Shadow, then there was still a chance to turn things around.

The thought just flashed past when he heard hurried footsteps.

“Sir, bad news! Our supply ships and transport ships were hijacked by Extreme Shadow!” The Cygnus adjutant panicked.

Chen Bingfeng stood up abruptly, incredulous: “What did you say?!”

The Cygnus adjutant opened the map: “Here and here were all hijacked!”

Chen Bingfeng swung a fist over: “What are you doing?! Can’t even guard this?!”

The Cygnus adjutant fell to the ground, one side of his face swelling immediately.

He quickly crawled up: “We have sent troops over, but c-can’t find their warships.”

“Take back the hijacked warships first!” Chen Bingfeng narrowed his eyes and thought. “Go publish a notice online.”

The Cygnus adjutant’s eyes flashed: “Yes.”

Netizens who were confused eating melons (following gossip) refreshed, and Cygnus posted another notice.

[[Urgent Report] Extreme Shadow hijacked five Cygnus supply ships, three transport ships. Five thousand soldiers’ fate unknown!]

This notice undoubtedly gripped the hearts of countless netizens.

“Looking at Extreme Shadow’s past ‘records’, should just be playing around. Soldiers won’t be in danger.”

“They even massacre ordinary civilians, let alone soldiers! Can you stop speaking for this group of villains?!”

“Hijacked supply ships, don’t know how many refugees will starve. These are life-saving supplies!”

“Extreme Shadow is really becoming more lawless! Must be sanctioned!”

From morning to noon, Cygnus posted five notices in a row. The hijacked warships actually increased, with absolutely no good news.

Slowly, different voices appeared.

“I’m just asking, no other meaning, but is Cygnus standing there to be beaten?”

This comment quickly squeezed into the top comments, replies surging.

“I wanted to say it long ago but was afraid of being flamed. Such a big legion actually beaten by a pirate group so they can’t fight back, shouldn’t they reflect?”

“Cygnus counts as a first-rate legion, still can’t beat Extreme Shadow. Sigh, looking at it this way, Flying Dragon is really good, able to tangle with Extreme Shadow for so many years without losing out.”

“Hurry let Flying Dragon come over! If this goes on, the whole legion will be hijacked!”

Public opinion on the internet completely deviated from Chen Bingfeng’s expectation. Equally unexpected was Extreme Shadow’s strength.

But things didn’t hit rock bottom; they only got worse.

By afternoon, under the topic, a large number of Planet 333 refugees posted photos of receiving supplies. Appearing with the transport vehicles were not Cygnus soldiers, but Extreme Shadow.

[Holy shit! Never dreamed there would be a day receiving supplies sent by Extreme Shadow. The little brother is nice. I wanted to help move supplies with him but was refused. Sad [Group Photo.jpg]]

[Originally almost peed myself seeing news of Extreme Shadow appearing on the battlefield. Result was seeing the people, they threw a truck of supplies down and left. Still haven’t figured out the situation [Photo]]

[Extreme Shadow people said Cygnus rescue was too slow (dawdling), they couldn’t stand it anymore. Don’t know if true or false, but I like this fiery temper hahahaha. By the way, the Extreme Shadow brother’s buzz cut is so cool, I want to cut it too.]

Suddenly such bizarre things appeared; most people didn’t believe it.

Extreme Shadow had so many people, they only recognized one or two. Who knew if those people in the photos were really Extreme Shadow.

Amid fierce debate, some people posted photos of Chi Yao.

[Extreme Shadow boss personally delivered supplies to me! This treatment, shivering, but—he is really so handsome ahhhh! [Photo][Photo]]

The photo was a bit blurry. Chi Yao sat in the driver’s seat, wearing a white shirt as always, looking out. Even his driving posture revealed nonchalance.

Comments—

“Side profile kills!”

“Why are bad alphas always so charming boo hoo hoo—”

“He’s driving a transport vehicle! He’s really delivering supplies! God!”

“I can do it again!!!” (Fangirling expression)

Even Chi Yao appeared. Regardless of whether those previous photos were Extreme Shadow, did it still matter?

On one side Cygnus said Extreme Shadow hijacked warships and harmed soldiers; on the other side, large groups of refugees came out to slap faces.

Netizens didn’t know who to believe for a moment.

“So the truth is actually Extreme Shadow robbed supplies and delivered them themselves. Thinking about it this way seems fine; it is something they would do.”

“Suddenly feel a bit cute, what to do? Speaking of which, is Cygnus rescue very slow?”

“Not taking sides before further evidence comes out, save getting slapped in the face.”

Soon, another wave of Extreme Shadow photos went viral online.

In the photos, Li Yuan, originally blacked as killing without blinking, was running through devastated streets carrying two children on his back. At the edge of the photo was a group of refugees looking this way.

They stood on the heads of fallen mutant rats holding military knives, clothes dyed red with blood, behind them the closed doors of a hospital evacuation point.

They squatted in rubble covered in filth, collars soaked, lips cracked, unable to hide exhaustion.

[Saying too much will get scolded, see for yourselves. [Image][Image]]

[Honestly, not many legions have time to post so many notices during wartime. Taste it carefully yourselves.]

[Space pirates still have blood (courage/humanity). What Cygnus does as a first-rate legion can’t even compare to a pirate group!]

[Don’t want the account anymore. Following is internal military statistical data. Cygnus, look at your number of rescued people and supply distribution situation. Don’t you feel ashamed?! You can’t compare to even a finger of Flying Dragon!]

Scrolling to that data table below, Chen Bingfeng almost fainted from anger.

This kind of raw data couldn’t be leaked. Who exactly was manipulating public opinion behind the scenes?!

Before a total collapse, he contacted Jing Xi.

Jing Xi just returned from patrol when he received Chen Bingfeng’s call.

Picking it up, the other side lashed out: “Come over immediately to deal with Extreme Shadow!”

Jing Xi’s eyes were waveless: “Southern battlefield cleanup isn’t finished yet.”

“That kind of thing isn’t important!” Chen Bingfeng shouted anxiously, completely disregarding image. “Matters have priorities. You can’t even distinguish this?!”

Jing Xi lifted his eyelids to look at him, saying calmly: “Cygnus’s strength is only stronger not weaker than Flying Dragon. With Cygnus there, what need for Flying Dragon? You must have confidence in yourself.”

Hearing his tone, Chen Bingfeng narrowed his eyes, face unusually ugly.

“Is Extreme Shadow’s action directed by you?”

Only Jing Xi could be thought of who would help Extreme Shadow and could get Cygnus’s data.

This whole thing was a trap within a trap!

“Lieutenant General, as a member of the military high command, you should be more cautious in words and deeds, responsible for every word spoken.” Jing Xi’s voice turned cold. “Except for the rescue team assisting in the north, Flying Dragon has been clearing the southern beast herds until yesterday. Not a word of affirmation from you is fine, but opening your mouth to slander—do you have some dissatisfaction with me?”

“Don’t give me that set.” Chen Bingfeng said sternly. “Without you supporting behind the scenes, would Extreme Shadow do this?”

Jing Xi looked cold: “If Extreme Shadow was willing to listen to me, I’d be happy to arrange a better prison for them.”

The conversation broke down. Chen Bingfeng cut the connection, head splitting with pain.

Jing Xi expressed only one meaning—Extreme Shadow made the move; he knew nothing.

He really had no choice but to contact Zhao Hongyi.

But Zhao Hongyi didn’t answer, only replying with a message.

[If you don’t do your job well again, no one can protect you.]

Chen Bingfeng stared at this line for a long time.

Zhao Hongyi pushed him out and withdrew.

He had to clean up the mess himself.

At a dilapidated street intersection, Chi Yao’s group met up with Li Yuan’s group.

“Which bastard took such ugly photos of me?” Li Yuan had a cigarette in his mouth, cursing. “Seriously affecting my dating prospects.”

Chen Sheng: “Good enough you have a front face. Mine are all ass to the camera.”

Li Yuan snorted: “Your ass looks better than your face.”

Chen Sheng: “You fucker—!”

Fang Liang flipped through the photos, asking Chi Yao in a low voice: “Boss, you had them do it?”

Chi Yao glanced at it and sneered: “Dealing with trash like Chen Bingfeng isn’t worth me spending money to buy water armies (paid trolls).”

Fang Liang: “…”

After the southern beast tide was controlled, the northern beast herds decreased with each batch killed. With the large force coming over, Li Yuan and others were much more relaxed.

Hearing this, Li Yuan joked: “Boss, you say it, who is worth your money?”

Chi Yao thought seriously: “None are worth it.”

Fang Liang couldn’t help asking: “Major General Jing?”

Mentioning this, everyone else shifted attention to Chi Yao.

Chi Yao: “He is a little God of Wealth, a spendthrift who spends money without blinking. Simply not my turn to spend money.”

Just speaking, the terminal rang. He swiped it open casually.

Seeing the ID on the virtual screen, the corners of his lips raised unconsciously.

“Xi Xi?”

He avoided everyone and walked a bit further away.

In the screen, Jing Xi closed the rest cabin door: “Chen Bingfeng is mad with anger.”

Chi Yao laughed out loud: “I’ve already shown mercy.”

Watching him laugh, a hint of a smile also welled up in Jing Xi’s eyes: “You did very well this time.”

Chi Yao leaned back against a pillar, sitting on the steps with one leg bent: “No reward?”

Jing Xi: “Give it to you when back.”

The words “when back” instantly reminded Chi Yao of “doing it downwards”. His face suddenly became a bit unnatural.

Haven’t had time to watch the tutorial yet.

Brief call ended. Chi Yao went back, but saw Li Yuan and the others staring with glazed eyes.

“What?”

Everyone withdrew their gazes as if nothing happened, a voice shouting in their hearts simultaneously.

Boss actually really found a partner?
