Xia Chujian knew that Pei Zijing was referring to information from the Military's files.
She couldn't help but sneer, "Yes, some people are treating us like fools and cannon fodder!"
"If I hadn't been lucky, I would have been stuck on Senze Star forever!"
Pei Zijing took a deep breath and said, "As long as you're all right. What about the other trainees?"
Xia Chujian closed her eyes briefly and said, "They're all here. Once we get back to base, I'll invite them out one by one."
Pei Zijing found her words strange and instinctively felt something was off.
Yu Fei had already asked, "Chujian, were there any casualties among our trainees?"
Xia Chujian's smile seemed like a mask as she said, "Guess."
Yu Fei: "..."
Pei Zijing: "..."
The group fell silent.
Once they reached the airspace above the base, Xia Chujian said to the pilots and the Starry Sky Marines in the Starry Sky Cruiser, "We're going back now. It was an honor to fight alongside you all this time."
"I'll use water in place of wine to toast our comrades who stayed on Senze Star!"
Large virtual screens appeared on every level of the Starry Sky Cruiser.
Xia Chujian's figure appeared on the virtual screens, holding a bottle of water, which she then sprinkled on the ground in front of her.
"Don't worry, everyone. We found the identity tags of all the fallen comrades and have entrusted the Special Security Bureau to hand them over to the Military."
"They will not have died in vain."
"They will receive all the compensation and honors they deserve."
"The mastermind behind this will not escape the Special Security Bureau's pursuit either."
"This is what I can do for them right now."
"You are all Gene Evolvers now, and your paths in the Interstellar Fleet will be smoother."
"I hope that no matter where you go, you will never forget where you came from, what kind of people you are, and why you joined the Military!"
"Thank you, everyone! Goodbye!"
Xia Chujian raised her hand in a salute, then, carrying her backpack and wearing the Fourth Interstellar Fleet's Sea Blue Camouflage Combat Suit, she entered a Starship Airship with Mao Yonggui and the other base trainees.
In the refrigerated compartment of this Starship Airship, there was not only a Longevity Flying Fish, but also the bodies of Lin Xiaoxiao, Hui Zhifeng, Chu Qingchen, Ji Nabi, Lü Luyu, and Zhuo Hanchen.
Of course, Lin Xiaoxiao and Hui Zhifeng each had their own separate refrigerated compartments.
The group transferred to this specially selected Interstellar Airship and flew from the Starry Sky Cruiser towards the base.
The bottom hold passage of the Interstellar Airship opened, and Xia Chujian let everyone else go out first.
The Starry Sky Marines remained on the Starry Sky Cruiser outside the atmosphere.
They were not base trainees and did not need to, nor were they allowed to, enter the Flying Base here.
These people did not linger.
Their gratitude to Xia Chujian could not be expressed in words.
Although they didn't remember that it was Xia Chujian who had detoxified them and achieved Gene Evolution, they would always remember that Xia Chujian had risked her life several times to eliminate the most dangerous enemies, allowing them to return to the Beichen Empire alive.
Although they were not from the same Interstellar Fleet, they had now unanimously formed a large group and all planned to submit reports after returning, requesting a transfer to the Fourth Interstellar Fleet.
Xia Chujian was unaware of their decision.
If she knew, she would at most offer some advice but would not interfere with their decisions.
She still had to go to university and would not be joining the Military in the short term.
...
At the Flying Base outside Galuo City on Kanli Star, in addition to the base instructors and staff, people from the Military General Logistics Department were also waiting.
Xia Chujian led the base trainees out of the bottom hold passage of the Airship, onto the School Field, and stood in a row, waiting for the instructor to give instructions.
Pei Zijing looked from left to right, then from right to left, and his heart sank.
Several people were missing.
There were a total of twenty base trainees, and now there were only fourteen, six short.
The six missing were Lin Xiaoxiao, Hui Zhifeng, Chu Qingchen, Zhuo Hanchen, Ji Nabi, and Lü Luyu.
Pei Zijing stood in front of Xia Chujian, his face serious, and asked, "Xia Chujian, why are six people missing? And three Starry Sky Cruisers? Can you tell me now?"
Xia Chujian said calmly, "Reporting, Chief Instructor Pei, my team only consists of Mao Yonggui, Chu Qingjuan, Sang Yadi, and Chen Yansheng."
"All the survivors are here."
"As for Lin Xiaoxiao and Hui Zhifeng, one was killed by Lü Luyu, and the other was killed by Rong Zhongruo."
"Zhuo Hanchen conspired with Chu Qingchen, Ji Nabi, and Lü Luyu to try to ambush us. I caught them, and Zhuo Hanchen was silenced by Lü Luyu."
"Chu Qingchen, Ji Nabi, and Lü Luyu also tried to kill me to silence me and steal my credit, seizing my Longevity Flying Fish, but I defended myself and killed them."
"They have also returned, along with the Longevity Flying Fish, in the cold storage."
As Xia Chujian spoke, she pulled up a virtual display screen and played the situation at the time.
Of course, she didn't release the entire video, nor did she release the part where Zhuo Hanchen released the poison.
She only released the scenes related to the deaths of these people.
As soon as these were shown, the entire base was shocked.
How could this be?!
But those from the Military General Logistics Department didn't buy Xia Chujian's story.
A man with graying temples, at least a Lieutenant Colonel in rank, stepped forward and said loudly, "Xia Chujian! Now that everyone is dead, you can frame them however you want!"
"As for these videos, who knows if they are real or fake?!"
"The images that Mechanical Intelligence can generate are much more realistic than this!"
"Don't try to quibble!"
"We have received information that you are suspected of killing Starry Sky Marines, seizing spoils of war, trading with the enemy, and harming your superiors!"
"Now we are going to take you to the Military for Review!"
The man waved his hand, and several subordinates immediately stepped forward to grab Xia Chujian.
Pei Zijing immediately stepped forward, stood in front of Xia Chujian, glared at those people, and shouted, "Stop!"
"Xia Chujian is a trainee at my base and a First Lieutenant pilot in the Fourth Interstellar Fleet."
"If you want to arrest her, at least produce a joint warrant from the Fourth Interstellar Fleet and the Military!"
"If you don't have one, don't lay a hand on my trainee here!"
The man with graying temples took a deep look at Pei Zijing and said arrogantly, "Chief Instructor Pei, although your rank is higher than mine..."
Pei Zijing interrupted him coldly, "Lieutenant Colonel Chu! My rank is higher than yours, which makes me your superior!"
"Do you dare to disobey orders?!"
In the military system, rank is indeed an insurmountable gap.
Even if this Lieutenant Colonel Chu's noble title was higher than Pei Zijing's, Pei Zijing was a Colonel, and he was only a Lieutenant Colonel, so he didn't dare to confront Pei Zijing head-on.
Pei Zijing adopted the posture of a superior, forcing Lieutenant Colonel Chu to take a step back.
He took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll give Chief Instructor Pei some face. I won't arrest her for now, but she must be placed in Confinement Room and undergo a comprehensive Review until we confirm the authenticity of these videos!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mao Yonggui, Chu Qingjuan, Sang Yadi, Chen Yansheng, Xu Teng, and eight other base trainees stood next to Xia Chujian and said in unison, "We stand with Lieutenant Xia!"
"If you want to put Lieutenant Xia in Level One Confinement Room, please put us in there together!"
Lieutenant Colonel Chu was furious and said, flicking his sleeves, "Are you trying to rebel?!"
Everyone was not afraid at all, just staring straight at him.
Although there were only thirteen of them, their momentum was no less than that of the subordinates brought by this man from the General Logistics Department Execution Brigade.
Lieutenant Colonel Chu, with a stern face, shouted at Xia Chujian, "Hand over all your surveillance videos!"
"The Military needs to rigorously verify the authenticity of the videos!"
Xia Chujian said calmly, "Sure, anyway, I've already given these videos to the Special Security Bureau."
"The Special Security Bureau has already tested the authenticity of the videos."
"Of course, your Military's technology might be even better than the Special Security Bureau's, capable of detecting things that don't even exist, who knows."
After Xia Chujian finished speaking, Chen Yansheng couldn't help but chuckle.
Lieutenant Colonel Chu glared at him angrily, but he also began to feel apprehensive, and couldn't help but say, "The Special Security Bureau? What do you mean?"
"This is our Military's operation! What right does the Special Security Bureau have to interfere?"
Xia Chujian's eyes flickered slightly, thinking, this person doesn't seem to know what happened to that Major Ji...
She quickly realized that Huo Yushen's Bat-style Fighter Jet must have immediately blocked the entire network system upon arrival.
Ji Shunliang probably didn't have time to send out any messages.
Otherwise, where would this Lieutenant Colonel Chu get the guts to still be jumping around in the base?
Pei Zijing then said, "First Lieutenant Xia is right. When we went to pick them up, they were indeed in the Special Security Bureau Chief Inspector's Bat-style Fighter Jet."
As soon as the words "Bat-style Fighter Jet" came out, Lieutenant Colonel Chu's face turned pale, and beads of sweat as big as beans appeared on his forehead. He even forgot to be outwardly fierce but inwardly weak, and his tone suddenly softened.
"Is... is that so? I I I... have to investigate what's going on..."
"Right, what about the Longevity Flying Fish? Did you catch the Longevity Flying Fish?"
Xia Chujian looked at him and said, "We worked so hard, nearly twenty thousand people died to bring back the Longevity Flying Fish, and you say you'll take it? On what basis?"
When Lieutenant Colonel Chu heard that Xia Chujian had really brought back the Longevity Flying Fish, he took a deep look at her and said, "We naturally have the Military's warrant."
He didn't have a warrant to arrest people, but he did have a warrant to take away the Longevity Flying Fish.
Lieutenant Colonel Chu turned to look at Pei Zijing, "Confine these people first, I have something to say to Chief Instructor Pei."
Pei Zijing didn't want to talk to these people, but the other party represented the Military General Logistics Department after all, what if he really had a warrant? Pei Zijing took a deep breath and said, "Put First Lieutenant Xia in confinement. The rest of you, return to your dormitories and stand by, do not move around, and await the results of the investigation."
A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Xia Chujian's lips.
Her videos were all real, she wasn't afraid of investigation.
However, she didn't want to be confined for no reason.
She wasn't a suspect.
But when the base's Inspection Team came over and took her to the Confinement Room, she didn't resist, and followed them.
She walked relatively slowly, seemingly stalling for time.
But the base's Inspection Team didn't care.
Now that they were already at the base, what was the use of stalling for time?
The key was whether you had someone above you who would come to save you.
But for Xia Chujian this time, she didn't need anyone to save her at this point.
Just as the base's Inspection Team sent her to the base's Level One Confinement Room, Seven Lù had successfully bypassed the base's network blockade and sent those few videos to the Star Network.
A fire was burning in Xia Chujian's heart.
For those Marine Corps who died unjustly, and for herself becoming someone else's target.
Since they liked target practice so much, then let them be the target themselves!
Xia Chujian entered the Confinement Room and closed her eyes.
At this time, the videos uploaded by Seven Lù were spreading on the Star Network at a geometric rate.
