The Yunmeng Galaxy was operating at a rapid pace, like a well-oiled machine, in preparation for the construction of the transit point. Having just repelled a wave of Eastern attacks, the construction of the transit point was now in full swing. There was no need for concealment; the speed of construction was significantly faster than before.
Other expeditionary forces were stationed nearby, guarding the construction site at all times. However, despite such tight protection, one night, part of the transit point was still blown up. Fortunately, there were no casualties.
A military commander expressed his frustration, "Is the East really that powerful? How could they manage to blow up the transit point under such strict protection? I think it's too slow for the Alliance to suppress Eastern actions. This needs to be resolved quickly; otherwise, if they blow it up again today and we have to repair it, our logistics won't be able to keep up."
Xie Jin, a logistics officer, was also present at this meeting. Upon hearing this, Yao Su retorted bluntly, "If this matter were so easy to resolve, we wouldn't have been stuck for so long. Of course, Director Xie is capable; you can handle it better than we can!"
"Yao Su, I was just complaining; why are you coming at me so hard?"
"Because you can stand there and talk without feeling any pain!"
To be honest, before meeting Yao Su, Lin Yao had seen the temperaments of Yao Zhengqi and Yao Beiluo and had thought he was quite an upright person. She never expected that beneath his seemingly righteous exterior lay a sharp tongue.
He showed no mercy when responding to things he disapproved of. After Yao Su finished her retort, Yao Zhengqi slowly spoke up, "I believe that this bombing incident wasn't carried out by someone from the East coming in from outside; it seems more like it was done by a spy embedded within us."
Wang Sanquan nodded in agreement. "I think so too. The East just suffered a significant loss at the hands of Hatu No. 1; they definitely won't launch a direct attack again until they have weapons capable of suppressing Hatu No. 1. Therefore, we can expect more subtle actions like this."
"Then let's hurry up and catch the spy!"
"With so many people around, it's not that easy."
"It has to be done!"
Thus, the expeditionary forces present began an internal investigation. Anyone with questionable backgrounds would be temporarily removed from their teams and sent for thorough checks. Only those who passed these checks would be allowed to return to their units. In addition to this, inspections of the transit point became even more meticulous.
However, even so, the construction of the transit point was fraught with troubles. Even the resilient Academician Zheng found himself somewhat irritated by such helplessness. If this continued, many people's mental states would collapse. "Lin Yao, what do you think we should do about this?"
Although it was a bit strange that Academician Zheng would come to her with this issue, she did not shy away and replied, "Academician, there is an old saying in my hometown: there are always a thousand days for a thief, but never a thousand days to guard against a thief."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Since we can't stop them from causing trouble here, let's give them a taste of their own medicine. Our transit point construction cannot afford any setbacks; surely they have things they need to protect as well?"
The critical project currently underway in Dongyang was the advanced starship; they were preparing to build an advanced starship capable of spatial jumps!
"We can ask Maris to post a mission on the Alliance's dark web to sabotage Dongyang's construction project. If we raise the mission reward a bit, I believe many will be willing to take it on."
"If they are shameless, then we must respond in kind."
With Maris's help, the Yunmeng system quickly initiated its sabotage operations against Dongyang. After experiencing several attempts at destruction, Dongyang had no choice but to compromise and sought a middleman to contact Yunmeng, proposing that if Yunmeng ceased its actions, they would also stop their covert sabotage of the transit point.
Of course, this did not mean that Dongyang would back down completely. They soon rallied their forces and borrowed a satellite-class starship from Lasvegas, charging into the Yunmeng system with great momentum.
When Lin Yao received the news from Maris, she realized an opportunity had come and immediately instructed the Yunmeng Ministry of Foreign Affairs to rush to the Star Alliance to report the situation. She then notified all expeditionary forces to prepare for intercepting the satellite-class starship borrowed by Dongyang.
This satellite-class starship was more complete and advanced than their repaired Hatu No. 1; Hatu No. 1 was simply no match for it. However, Yunmeng had no other options and could only confront it head-on.
As each expeditionary force conducted pre-battle mobilizations, they selected warriors for interception in a manner akin to choosing a suicide squad. Those who were only children or had no descendants were exempt from battle; if there were brothers serving in the military at home, one could be chosen not to participate.
Among the eight members of the squad, aside from Zhang Feng, Wan Xiaoqi, and Bai Zhenzhen, everyone else was excluded from participation. Especially Wang Jincheng, who was the last remaining heir of the Wang family.
As soon as Wang Sanquan received the order, he immediately contacted Wang Jincheng and told him to withdraw from this interception mission.
"Uncle San, my dad and the others can still have more kids, right? If worse comes to worst, let them have another one!"
"You little brat! Do you think having children is that easy? The higher one's power level, the harder it is to conceive. Besides, what if the child isn’t born with lightning abilities? Do you want our Wang family's lightning powers to end with you?"
"Uncle, don't make it sound so dire. Just because you're going to war doesn't mean you'll definitely die!"
"But if you don't go to war, you definitely won't die right now!"
Wang Jincheng was still competing with Wang Sanquan, while Yao Beiluo's amiable brother joined forces to persuade him to withdraw from the battle.
"This fight is enough with me and your brother. Our family has already sacrificed enough. If you go, I believe no one will say anything. Your grandparents are old and can't bear the loss of all three of us at once!"
Faced with Yao Su's plea, Yao Beiluo remained resolute: "Grandpa and the others have already faced the reality of losing me once. If I really die in this battle, then just consider that I never existed."
"What are you saying, child? Losing and regaining only to lose again—what a blow that would be to the family."
"And what about my elder brother? Can the family accept losing him again after having him back?"
"He is the commander of an army; he absolutely cannot move now. Otherwise, I would consider sending your brother instead."
Yao Beiluo fell silent, his expression tense and unyielding.
To Lin Yao's surprise, Bai Zhenzhen's brother Bai Qisheng actually contacted her, requesting that Lin Yao kick Bai Zhenzhen out of the team.
"Are you sure you're trying to save Bai Zhenzhen and not Bai Youyou?"
Bai Qisheng sighed and said, "I acted unfairly before, but there was no other choice at that time."
