Xia Chujian said goodbye to those Starry Sky Marines and returned to the Captain's office where she had spent more than twenty hours.
Her backpack was still here. Although Kang Shanxing had given her this backpack, it was now hers.
Inside were not only some daily necessities and the Fourth Interstellar Fleet's military uniform, but also her biggest gain from this trip...
That rectangular, flat little box—the Ghost Face Safe!
Seven Lù said that the main material of that thing was Cyan Obsidian Titanium, which had a high density, but fortunately, it wasn't too big, or she really wouldn't be able to carry it.
Coming out of the Captain's office, Xia Chujian saw Gu Zhongjin guarding the door, as if waiting for her.
She said with a smile, "Major Gu, thanks to your help this time, otherwise my mission wouldn't have been so easy to complete."
Gu Zhongjin quickly saluted and said, "Captain, you flatter me! It is because of your brilliance and martial prowess that we achieved immediate success!"
Xia Chujian thought to herself, This person has unlimited potential in the future! He's so good at flattery, he's almost catching up with me...
Xia Chujian said with a smile, "Major Gu, my rank is lower than yours, you don't need to salute me. And I shouldn't be the Captain anymore."
She was only temporarily seconded here.
But Gu Zhongjin seemed to have set his sights on her, and said seriously, "Once you are my Captain, you will always be my Captain. I, Gu Zhongjin, will only recognize you, Captain Xia, in the future."
Then, he raised his wrist, revealing his Quantum Optical Brain watch carrier, and said, "Captain Xia, let's add each other as friends, so we can keep in touch in the future."
He was going to latch onto Xia Chujian as a patron...
Xia Chujian never expected that Gu Zhongjin had such good judgment! He really recognized her potential when she was still insignificant...
He's so good at sucking up, this person's future is indeed limitless!
Xia Chujian was convinced and also planned to build a good relationship with Gu Zhongjin.
She raised her hand, showed her Smart Bracelet, and added Gu Zhongjin as a friend.
Gu Zhongjin was stunned for a moment when he saw that she was using a Smart Bracelet instead of a Quantum Optical Brain, and then immediately said, "Captain, can you leave an address?"
"I have a few new Quantum Optical Brains at home, which were given by friends during the New Year. I don't need them, and it's a pity to leave them there. I can..."
He wanted to give Xia Chujian a Quantum Optical Brain!
Xia Chujian said with a smile, "I have a Quantum Optical Brain, but I left it at home because I was coming to the base for training. After I go home, I will contact Major Gu with the Quantum Optical Brain."
Gu Zhongjin nodded: "Captain, just call me Zhongjin."
Xia Chujian: "..."
That was too much, there was no need for that.
She waved her hand with a smile, turned and left.
...
Back on Huo Yushen's Bat-style Fighter Jet, she found that the base trainees and instructors had woken up from their dormant state.
But after knowing that they were in the Special Security Bureau's Warplane hold, each of them became extremely well-behaved.
Especially those Noble trainees and their supporters, they completely lost the arrogance they had in her Starry Sky Cruiser's Warplane warehouse.
Xia Chujian sat in Kang Shanxing's office, looking at the orderly situation in the bottom hold of the Bat-style Fighter Jet. She originally wanted to say a few sarcastic words, but thinking that she was not that familiar with Kang Shanxing, she changed the subject.
She said bluntly: "Colonel Kang, there are six names here, all of whom are navigators and pilots on that Starry Sky Cruiser."
"They disobeyed orders on the battlefield and even suspected of framing the Captain."
"These people don't deserve to be soldiers. I hope the Special Security Bureau can arrange for them to retire properly."
Kang Shanxing glanced at the names and immediately understood that these people had disobeyed Xia Chujian's command.
Xia Chujian was the Captain, and she led people to participate in the Military's search and rescue, which was wartime behavior.
Daring to disregard the Captain, such soldiers were a great taboo anywhere.
Kang Shanxing immediately said, "No problem, I will have someone handle it."
Then he sent the names to Commander Ye Chenfeng, the commander of the Fourth Interstellar Fleet, and briefly explained the situation of these people.
Ye Chenfeng almost instantly replied to Kang Shanxing's message.
[Ye Chenfeng]: Don't worry! Anyone who dares to disrespect the Captain Xia Chujian I've painstakingly cultivated, I won't tolerate them! [Ye Chenfeng]: Just being discharged is letting them off easy! They still have to be punished, stripped of their military ranks and all benefits before being discharged! Then he sent six copies of the "Discharge Order" he had signed.
These six people originally held at least the rank of Captain.
But now, one by one, they were demoted to ordinary soldiers and directly discharged to return to their hometowns.
Kang Shanxing also forwarded it to Xia Chujian.
Xia Chujian immediately felt a favorable impression of Ye Chenfeng and nodded, saying, "This Commander Ye is a sensible person."
Kang Shanxing said without batting an eye, "Old Ye is a good friend of Marshal Huo. He's only giving you this identity out of respect for Marshal Huo."
Xia Chujian was relieved and didn't continue to pay attention to Ye Chenfeng. She then asked, "Colonel Kang, how do you plan to identify which of those people are spies for the Star Pirates?"
Kang Shanxing said, "Want to see?"
"Of course, I want to!" Xia Chujian's eyes lit up.
Kang Shanxing said, "...Let's go see the unconscious Chief Instructor Pei first..."
Xia Chujian embarrassedly touched her nose.
To be honest, she had already forgotten about Pei Zijing.
Ever since Seven Lù told her that Pei Zijing's life wasn't in danger, she hadn't taken it seriously.
...
Kang Shanxing led her into the medical area of the Bat-style Fighter Jet.
It truly lived up to its name as a Bat-style Fighter Jet.
Xia Chujian discovered that the medical area here was as spacious as an entire floor of a Starry Sky Cruiser!
It should be known that the area of a Starry Sky Cruiser was equivalent to a small town!
Therefore, the medical area here was equivalent to one-fifth of a small town.
Kang Shanxing also introduced to her, "There aren't many physicians accompanying us this time. Only during wartime are the physicians here at full strength."
Actually, to pick up these students and instructors, there was no need for such a high-end warship like the Bat-style Fighter Jet.
But Huo Yushen had specifically instructed him to find an opportunity to properly introduce this warship to Xia Chujian, so he could only obey.
Xia Chujian was dazzled and said, "Then there are Medical Cabins here too?"
Kang Shanxing glanced at her and said, "We have medical equipment that is even more advanced than Medical Cabins."
Xia Chujian was surprised, "There's medical equipment even more high-end than Medical Cabins?!"
Kang Shanxing smiled and said, "Yes, Medical Cabins are actually a simplified version of a Medical Room."
"You'll understand when you see our Medical Room here. Inside, there are not only all kinds of functional equipment from Medical Cabins, but also various Mechanical Intelligence devices."
"Operated by the most skilled physicians, it can almost bring the dead back to life..."
Xia Chujian chuckled and laughed, "I didn't expect Colonel Kang to boast too!"
Kang Shanxing laughed and said, "Saying it can bring the dead back to life might be an exaggeration, but as long as there's a breath left, the equipment and physicians here can save the person!"
Xia Chujian and Kang Shanxing chatted and talked, and soon arrived in front of a large door.
On that door, the three large characters "Emergency Room" were written.
Kang Shanxing said, "Chief Instructor Pei is receiving treatment inside."
Xia Chujian was shocked, "...Is Chief Instructor Pei's life in danger?!"
How could it be so serious that he needed to be rushed to the Emergency Room for emergency treatment?
Kang Shanxing said, "It's not that serious. It's just that the physicians we brought are all Emergency Room physicians, so we brought him here for treatment."
Xia Chujian was now worried, "But Chief Instructor Pei isn't an emergency case. Can Emergency Room physicians treat him?"
Kang Shanxing: "..."
"Xia Chujian, you really don't understand the classification of physicians..."
Xia Chujian said with righteous confidence: "I'm not studying medicine, is it shameful that I don't understand the classification of physicians?"
"Colonel Kang, are you looking down on me? Then let me ask you, Colonel Kang, do you know how many kinds of rice there are in the Beichen Empire?"
Kang Shanxing: "...I'm not a farmer, how would I know?"
Xia Chujian deliberately made a mocking laugh: "Ha—! So, there are things you don't know too, right?! I can look down on you too! We're even..."
Xia Chujian immediately calmed down and felt less uncomfortable.
Kang Shanxing: "..."
"You sure know how to find balance for yourself."
Of course, he didn't care about this kind of verbal sparring, he just thought that Xia Chujian was indeed too young and needed more experience...
The two waited in front of the Emergency Room door for a short while before several physicians came out.
"Colonel Kang, Chief Instructor Pei has woken up. We've checked him over, and there are no major problems."
"He was mainly in a coma due to rapid depletion of Mental Strength, but his consciousness was maintained."
Xia Chujian understood, so this was why Seven Lù scanned Pei Zijing and found that although he hadn't woken up, his breathing was still regular.
So he wasn't really "unconscious" in the true sense of the word.
Of course, he was a high-level Gene Evolver, and Xia Chujian knew that she couldn't apply the physical data of ordinary people to someone like him.
And these physicians were all treating Gene Evolvers, so their opinions were the most authoritative.
Xia Chujian asked, "Do you physicians know why Chief Instructor Pei's Mental Strength was rapidly depleted?"
Those physicians didn't recognize Xia Chujian and didn't directly answer her question, but looked at Kang Shanxing.
Kang Shanxing nodded.
One of the older physicians then said, "The initial assessment is that Chief Instructor Pei encountered a sudden attack on the Mental Strength level at the time."
"He needed to mobilize a large amount of Mental Strength in a short period of time to protect himself, which caused him to quickly fall into a coma."
Xia Chujian was thoughtful.
The physician then said to Kang Shanxing, "Colonel Kang, you can go in now."
"Chief Instructor Pei is replenishing and optimizing nutrient solution in the Medical Cabin. In another three minutes, his body should be almost recovered."
Kang Shanxing said, "Okay, I'll go take a look. There's another batch of patients. Call the doctor on duty over, and my adjutant will take them there."
Xia Chujian knew that medical workers who treated Gene Evolvers were called physicians.
Those who treated ordinary people were called doctors.
What Kang Shanxing was talking about now should be the treatment for Chang Shengnan and the other victims.
She gratefully looked at Kang Shanxing and made a "kowtow" gesture to him with her fingers.
Kang Shanxing didn't understand these young people's things at all.
After those physicians left, Kang Shanxing puzzledly imitated Xia Chujian's gesture with his fingers.
"What does this mean?"
Xia Chujian said, "It means thank you!"
Kang Shanxing: "..."
He felt quite old, even though he had just turned thirty.
...
The two entered the special care ward in the Emergency Room.
At this time, Pei Zijing had already come out of the Medical Cabin.
With the help of a nurse, he was doing rehabilitation exercises.
Although he had only been in a coma for three days and three nights, his body had suffered some damage due to the huge expenditure of Mental Strength.
When he saw Xia Chujian and an unfamiliar, refined, and handsome man walk in, he was taken aback.
He further recognized the military uniform the man was wearing as that of the Special Security Bureau.
Pei Zijing immediately tried to stand up straight and nodded to him.
"Hello, I am Pei Zijing, the Chief Instructor of the Kanli Star Flight Training Base."
He was a Colonel, and he could see that the man in front of him was also a Colonel, so he did not salute.
Kang Shanxing took the initiative to shake his hand and said, "I am Colonel Kang Shanxing from the Special Security Bureau. I am here to meet you on orders."
Pei Zijing's gaze shifted to Xia Chujian, who was standing next to Kang Shanxing. His heart sank, and he couldn't help but ask, "This is a student from our base. Why did you bring her here?"
He then asked Xia Chujian with concern, "Xia Chujian, what was your ranking this time? Did you fly through the Asteroid Belt within the allotted time?"
Xia Chujian was stunned.
So this Chief Instructor didn't know what had happened at all!
Xia Chujian was about to brag about herself when she heard Kang Shanxing already starting to boast.
"Chief Instructor Pei, right? Your student Xia Chujian is truly amazing."
"Not only did she fly through the Asteroid Belt in a record-breaking twelve hours, but after learning that other students and instructors from your base were in danger, she volunteered."
"She led the Fourth Interstellar Fleet's Falcon-class Star Cruiser back to the Asteroid Belt and participated in the military's search and rescue operation."
This is the second update. There will be a new update at five minutes past midnight tonight.
