"What's going on? They've scattered!" A soldier responsible for reconnaissance was monitoring Ziyu through the surveillance system, only to find that Ziyu and the others had dispersed.
"Did we pick the wrong target?" The soldier questioned himself.
"Scattering is better; it eliminates over a dozen Squads. One Squad can track one person, and each Squad can send one member to survey using the monitoring system," a deep voice echoed from the shadows.
~~~~~~~~
"Sir, there are no movements right now." Zero was still with Ziyu, and he spoke up.
"It seems scattering has some effect; they've lost track of us," Ziyu nodded. "But how do we get out of here?"
"We can disperse directly through the tracks to the spaceship's landing site and then leave," Zero suggested.
Zero had already deleted everyone's information; they just needed to avoid the eyes of those in the know.
"Zero, let's do that. Inform the others not to let the enemy discover us," Ziyu thought this plan was sufficient, unaware that many people would come after them after observing their movements.
"These two, one looks like a teenager and the other is a robot, are following closely." Some Plainclothes Soldiers trailed behind Ziyu, part of the Squad assigned to track him.
Ziyu and Zero walked in one direction, deliberately heading towards crowded areas, gradually approaching the nearest Transport Route.
"Catch them!"
As Ziyu stepped onto the track and was about to activate it, he realized that the track had gone offline and lost power. Behind them appeared more than a dozen Plainclothes Soldiers pointing firearms at Ziyu and Zero.
"Don't move!" The leading Sergeant shouted, aiming his weapon at Ziyu.
Ziyu opened his mouth but did not speak, raising both hands.
Zero also obediently raised his hands.
Ziyu did not want to cause trouble here because when he first arrived on this planet, based on the guards' behavior, it seemed that this planet was not hostile towards him... Since the other party was polite, he couldn't fall short.
The Sergeant approached Ziyu and cuffed his wrists, then turned to Zero and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Do you know who we are?" Ziyu said, a bit impatient.
"You? You're an Interstellar Wanderer, a Criminal. What identity are you talking about?" The Sergeant glanced at Ziyu with disdain.
"Fine, Zero, let's go with them and see who laughs last." Ziyu chuckled, and his Battle Armor immediately enveloped his body, breaking the handcuffs.
"Let's go. I think meeting your superior would be quite good," Ziyu said as he tugged at the Sergeant's collar, practically dragging him forward while Zero followed behind.
"Who is this guy? Doesn't he fear for his life?"
"Maybe he's someone influential."
"Even someone influential shouldn't treat government personnel like this. I bet he's just a high-ranking official who got interrupted by these soldiers while acting undercover and got angry."
Ziyu swaggered down the street, allowing passersby to discuss him.
Ziyu didn't care; after all, the Sergeant being dragged along had a flushed face.
"Am I checking the map, or are you giving me the map?" Ziyu said with a chuckle to the Sergeant.
"Yes, over there," the Sergeant's hoarse voice replied, pointing to a nearby Transport Route.
"By taking this route, we can reach your military headquarters, right?" Ziyu nodded and walked toward the Transport Route.
~~~~~~~~~~
After a moment of disorientation, Ziyu arrived at another location.
Since the Transport Route disassembled the body, after reconstruction, Ziyu was not dragging the Sergeant along. Ziyu couldn't be bothered to pull him and simply walked ahead.
"Stay put; I'm going to talk to your superior," Ziyu said expressionlessly as they walked forward, with the Sergeant following behind and Zero walking alongside.
"This is it..." Ziyu and Zero entered the building in front of them, and then the Sergeant pointed in a direction.
"Once we get into the Military Command Center, let's see if you can still smile. An Interstellar Wanderer actually walked into a trap," the Sergeant thought coldly.
Meanwhile, the Sergeant's previous companions were trailing far behind.
Everyone believed that Ziyu was an Interstellar Wanderer who pretended to have an identity to come here, and they all trusted that the technology at the Military Command Center could definitely uncover Ziyu's identity as an Interstellar Wanderer.
"Commander!" Nearby, everyone was on high alert, so the Sergeant gradually relaxed, thinking that Ziyu wouldn't act recklessly. However, not long after, they encountered an officer.
"What is going on here?" the officer asked sternly. Clearly, only those with a certain rank could enter this place, and the fact that this Sergeant brought two unknown individuals here displeased the officer.
"Report, sir. These two are Interstellar Wanderers engaged in illegal trading on this planet. I brought them here!" the Sergeant replied in a formal manner.
"Oh?" The officer glanced at Ziyu. "Show me your identification badge."
When Ziyu arrived on this planet, the detection information was linked to the identification badge.
"Here." Ziyu casually handed it to the officer, showing no fear.
Even if Ziyu's identity as the New Human Leader didn't hold weight, both Ziyu and Zero were absolutely confident they could leave this place.
Ziyu followed the officer to the inspection point, where the officer scanned Ziyu's identification badge.
"How is it? Any problems...?" Ziyu chuckled.
The officer even broke out in a cold sweat.
"Uh... so it's Lord Ziyu. I apologize for the offense," the officer immediately lowered his tone.
"So it really works," Ziyu thought, feeling relieved.
In fact, Ziyu didn't understand why people on this planet had such a good attitude upon hearing that Ziyu was the New Human Leader.
"Ziyu... you..." the Sergeant, who had been dragged over by Ziyu, looked very nervous.
"I would like to see your planet's leader. I wonder if that's possible; please report it... um... you can handle this guy yourself," Ziyu said, pointing at the Sergeant with a grin.
"That's good, we have received news on our planet to treat the new humans well, and if there are any new human leaders coming, we must treat them even better..." The officer had no airs about him at all. "Moreover, since this is not the core planet of the Celestial Star Universe Nation, I naturally dare not be negligent."
"That's great. I'll wait here, or will you lead the way?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Mr. Ziyu, it is truly an honor to have you visit our planet!"
Ziyu and the officer passed through layer upon layer of protection and scrutiny, finally arriving at the highest level of government, where the Planet Leader was located. The Leader was very pleased to see Ziyu.
"Um... Mr. Hollandberg, right?" Ziyu smiled slightly as he looked at the man in front of him.
"Yes, yes... that's me! Mr. Ziyu, please have a seat," Hollandberg said.
Hollandberg was the Leader of this planet.
"I would like to mention something first, and I hope you can agree," Ziyu said politely.
"What can I assist you with, Mr. Ziyu? As long as I can help, I will certainly do so!" Hollandberg replied straightforwardly.
"My companion has been captured by you; I kindly ask for their release."
