“Chi Yao, why do you go against us every single time?!”

The gold mask was immobile. No matter how hard he struggled, his face was pressed firmly against the rock by Chi Yao.

“I go against you?” Chi Yao sneered. “Where do you get the nerve?”

The gold mask’s eyes darted around. He said in a low voice, “In that case, how about we make a deal?”

Chi Yao: “A deal?”

The gold mask: “I’ll give you half the ore. We each take a step back. Dragging this on won’t do anyone any good.”

Chi Yao laughed at that. “How about this instead? You give me your men and the ore, and I’ll leave you with a whole corpse. How’s that?”

The gold mask’s entire body stiffened, and he began to struggle frantically.

“Chi Yao! I advise you not to go against Ghost, or you’ll regret it—Ugh!”

Chi Yao’s hand tightened, and the gold mask’s neck bone was snapped.

“Noisy.”

After finishing off the gold mask, he entered the mine’s equipment monitoring room.

The members of Extreme Shadow were scattered and hidden among the various rock piles, having a blast fighting the Ghost Legion.

The Ghost Legion had suffered heavy casualties, but they didn’t seem to be affected. They had split into three groups to deal with Extreme Shadow, still relentlessly trying to wipe out the mercenary group.

Jing Xi aimed at a black mask and shot him through the wrist.

The black mask retreated in pain. The mercenary who was being chased scrambled and hid in a pile of rocks.

The new recruits were fired up by Extreme Shadow’s fighting style.

They tried to imitate Jing Xi by aiming at the masked men’s wrists, but they always missed.

On a constantly changing battlefield, let alone hitting the target with every shot, just being able to aim one shot was something to be happy about.

“Besides basic skills, prediction is a very important technique. Some people are very good at exams but fail in actual combat because they lack dynamic control of the battle situation. Some people are born with this talent, but most people rely on a large amount of accumulated experience—”

Jing Xi taught the new recruits practical shooting techniques through the earpiece.

His voice was well-paced, which could calm people down in this tense battle.

Everyone in the group: “…”

Major General Jing’s voice is so nice! My ears are going to get pregnant, sob sob sob—

With Jing Xi’s guidance, after a short period of adaptation, the new recruits gradually found their own rhythm.

Below the mine, the scattered mercenaries gathered towards the spaceship under the cover of the new recruit group, but the Ghost Legion’s offensive was still fierce.

Jing Xi subconsciously searched for Chi Yao in the crowd, only to find that he had already disappeared.

Suddenly, a blur flashed before his eyes.

Four giant mining crane arms went crazy, smashing towards the Ghost Legion.

Jing Xi: “…”

You’ve really got it in you.

No matter how strong the masked men’s combat power was, they couldn’t stand up to machinery.

Soon, another large group fell.

The remaining ones were too scattered, and the giant crane arms were not of much use.

Chi Yao retracted the giant crane arms and walked out of the control room as if nothing had happened.

Just as he reached the door, he saw a dark muzzle from the corner of his eye. He quickly sidestepped to dodge the incoming bullet.

Before he could make a move, he suddenly heard the roar of a beast from the front.

The black mask who was aiming his gun at Chi Yao was swatted away by the guard dog’s paw.

“Boss!”

Tie Xiong slid down the dog’s leg and ran in front of him, turning his back, “Your gun!”

Chi Yao pulled out the gun from his back and put it into his thigh holster, then picked him up and threw him to the guard dog. “Stay hidden, don’t get your clothes dirty.”

Tie Xiong was unconvinced. Everyone else was working, why did he have to hide?

“I’m a star pirate too!”

Chi Yao: “Be careful Chun Qin makes you stand in the corner.”

Tie Xiong’s face stiffened. He puffed up his cheeks and lay on the dog’s back, feeling wronged.

Chun Qin is too scary when she gets fierce, sob sob sob—

After all the mercenaries had returned to the spaceship, Jing Xi led the new recruit group and Extreme Shadow to surround Ghost, quickly bringing the remaining thirty or so masked men under control.

Jing Xi put down his gun, his eyes thoughtful as he looked at Chi Yao.

The other party had almost zero participation in this battle, standing far away the whole time. Even when dealing with the gold mask, he had used his bare hands.

Fang Liang said he would have a few days each month where he couldn’t see blood. Jing Xi didn’t understand.

A person like Chi Yao, who did things without any scruples and killed purely based on his mood, why would he have such a problem?

This sounded more like a psychological illness.

There were many Ghosts. Li Yuan and Chen Sheng led Extreme Shadow to check them one by one, confiscating all their military equipment.

Those who weren’t dead were all tied up and thrown together to await the boss’s orders.

The round-faced and dark-skinned instructors led the new recruits and Extreme Shadow to clean up the aftermath.

Everyone was busy, only Chi Yao was leaning against the guard dog, a child in his arms, looking very relaxed and comfortable.

“What do you know?”

Jing Xi’s voice came from behind. Chi Yao patted the spot next to him, signaling for him to sit down.

“You’re being so vague. How would I know what you’re asking?”

Jing Xi glanced at the pitifully wronged child in his arms and reluctantly sat down.

“About Ghost.”

Chi Yao sneered, “Didn’t the military set up a special team to secretly investigate for four or five years? If you want to know about Ghost, you should ask the military, not me.”

Jing Xi turned his head to look at him, “How do you know?”

Chi Yao: “Is it that hard to find out?”

Jing Xi’s voice was faint, “This area isn’t my responsibility.”

Chi Yao deliberately asked, “Then which area are you responsible for?”

Jing Xi looked straight at him, “What do you think?”

Seeing Jing Xi’s “I’m too lazy to talk to you, but I have to talk to you to get information” expression, Chi Yao couldn’t help but laugh.

“Since it’s not your responsibility, then don’t worry about it. You just need to watch me. No cheating, okay?”

Jing Xi’s patience ran out. He got up and walked away.

“Hey, do you really want to know?”

Chi Yao called out to him.

Jing Xi turned his head and looked down at him, but didn’t speak.

Chi Yao smiled lazily, “You’ve seen my photo album, right?”

Jing Xi’s eyes flickered, and he subconsciously looked away.

He really can’t lie.

Chi Yao smiled, “How about this? As long as you take another photo according to my requirements, I’ll tell you.”

Jing Xi narrowed his eyes, his voice cold, “What requirements?”

Chi Yao touched his chin and thought, “Let’s start with a sailor uniform, paired with long straight black hair and a slender waist. Absolutely—”

Before he could finish, a military knife flew over and stuck in the ground in front of his toes.

“Licentious.”

Only a cold snort was heard.

When he looked up again, the person was gone.

Tie Xiong picked up the military knife. A small stone was pierced on its tip.

He asked, puzzled, “Boss, what does ‘licentious’ mean?”

Chi Yao spouted nonsense with a straight face, “It means very amazing, that you like it a lot.”

“Oh.” Tie Xiong nodded as if he understood and said seriously, “Boss, you’re so damn licentious.”

Chi Yao: “…”

Seeing Jing Xi go to find the Ghost Legion, Chi Yao got up and walked towards the spaceship.

Inside the spaceship, the mercenary group was huddled together, holding their guns, no one daring to make a sound.

At first, someone didn’t believe it. Relying on the cover of the spaceship, they opened the firing ports and started shooting at the Ghost Legion.

But they didn’t kill a single person. Instead, they themselves were shot through the head by Ghost through the gun ports.

“Leader, it seems to be quiet outside?” a curly-haired Beta asked cautiously.

“Shh—!” The leader made a silencing gesture. “Don’t talk! If we get discovered—”

Before he could finish, a huge impact sound suddenly came from outside the cabin door, and then, the cabin door slowly opened automatically.

“Ah—!”

The mercenary group screamed in a huddle.

The curly-haired Beta looked up and saw that it was just a big dog, not a masked person. He was overjoyed, “Leader, it’s not the Ghost Legion!”

The mercenary leader heard this and quietly peeked out.

When he saw the guard dog looking around, his vision went black, and he almost fell over.

The pet that the leader of Extreme Shadow kept by his side, the fifth-level mutated Border Collie, Guard Dog.

What’s the fucking difference between seeing this and seeing the Ghost Legion?!

After checking the situation, the guard dog made way for Chi Yao to walk in from behind.

“He-he’s coming in!” Someone in the mercenary group reacted intensely, raising his gun, intending to kill Chi Yao.

“Don’t move!” The leader stopped everyone, sweat pouring down his face. “Absolutely don’t move!”

He warily watched the big dog at the door. Seeing its gaze fall on him, he immediately had everyone put down their weapons.

Chi Yao walked to a clean chair and sat down, propping up his chin, his long legs crossed.

“Who’s the leader?”

The beta with a handlebar mustache hurriedly stepped out, “I-I am.”

Chi Yao: “On this spaceship of yours—”

The leader was too nervous. The moment he heard that, he immediately said, “It’s yours! If you like it, just take it.”

Chi Yao raised an eyebrow, “Those fourth-level ores—”

“They’re yours!” The leader had tears in his eyes, unable to hold back a sob. “They’re all yours!”

Chi Yao smiled, “Very good. I like talking to smart people.”

---

By the time they had dealt with the people from the Ghost Legion, the sky had already darkened.

Jing Xi tried to scan their faces with his terminal, but the masks, made of some unknown material, caused great interference with the scan, resulting in no matches.

He grabbed a black mask’s chin nearby, preparing to rip off his mask.

The black mask suddenly began to tremble all over and struggled desperately.

“Let go of me! Don’t touch me!”

“What’s there to see in these ugly and smelly Alphas?”

Jing Xi turned his head to look at Chi Yao, who was walking over.

“If not him, should I look at you?”

Chi Yao nodded, and was about to make a flirtatious comment when he heard Jing Xi say coldly, “Is there any part of you that I haven’t seen?”

Chi Yao: “…”

“Boss, the skewers are ready!” By the bonfire not far away, Li Yuan shouted towards them.

Tie Xiong: “Skewers are delicious!”

By the fire next to them, the new recruit group shouted at Jing Xi, “Sir, let’s eat chicken! Delicious chicken!”

Chi Yao slowly walked over, “The Major General has worked so hard. Why not come to my place for a bite?”

If it were any other time, Jing Xi would have been too lazy to bother with Chi Yao’s invitation.

But the new recruits’ barbecue skills were really terrible, and he had tasted Li Yuan’s cooking before, which was indeed good.

Comparing the two, he quickly followed Chi Yao to the star pirate group.

The new recruit group next door, seeing their officer visiting, their eyes lit up. They hurriedly brought their roasted chicken over to get closer.

The star pirate group is so awesome. It would be good to learn some skills from them!

The star pirate group was completely bewildered by them.

Just two days ago, they were like little firecrackers, crackling around them. Why the sudden change in style today?

A baby-faced new recruit stood in front of Li Yuan and presented the roasted chicken with both hands.

Seeing Li Yuan’s wary expression, he scratched his head and said embarrassedly, “Brother Li, how do you manage to hit the target with every shot? Is there any secret?”

Li Yuan: “…”

Telling the secret to the enemy? Does he look like he has a problem?

Li Yuan gnawed on a chicken leg and snorted, “It’s useless even if you call me grandpa. Go away.”

The baby-faced new recruit: “…”

The new recruits came over full of expectation, but were met with a cold shoulder.

The two groups soon started arguing again, which eventually evolved into a singing battle.

Chi Yao: “…”

Jing Xi: “…”

Chi Yao said with a serious face, “Can you teach them a few nice songs? Major General.”

Jing Xi’s face was wooden, “I’ll consider it.”

---

Halfway through the meal, Chi Yao said casually, “I’ll take the people from Ghost.”

Jing Xi: “No.”

Chi Yao smiled ambiguously, “If you don’t let me take them, are you going to bring them back to the military headquarters?”

Jing Xi’s eyes narrowed.

The image of the destroyed AI surveillance and the support that had yet to arrive flashed before his eyes.

Is there a mole in the military?
