Chapter 1597: Caught
The help the lieutenant colonel was referring to were the three prisoners.
All three are bounty hunters, and have a certain degree of fame and influence in the gray area of the alliance.
After escaping this predicament, they cautiously asked, can we do something to redeem ourselves?
Because this half-occupied area is so terrifying, they really don't want to pass through such a place to reach the entrance of the passage.
However, the lieutenant colonel did not indulge them and said that this was impossible!
But at the same time he also hinted that if you have the ability, you should use it now, and he will guarantee that you will not be treated as prisoners of war in the future.
His military rank is not high enough, so his promise may not be effective, but that person is Digital Phantom... well, you know what I mean!
But after hearing this, Qu Jianlei couldn't think of anything he needed help with.
After thinking for a while, he said, "In this half-occupied area, are there any desolate planets that have not been occupied by aliens?"
He still didn't want to go back because the experiment was not over yet.
The three hunters really couldn't answer this question, they just said that they didn't stay in the semi-occupied area for long.
The lieutenant colonel battalion commander was not happy with this. "You guys better take care of yourselves. We have given you the opportunity. If you can't seize it, you can't blame us."
The three of them discussed it and said, "Please wait a moment, let's get together and discuss it."
The lieutenant colonel knew that these three people were not loyal people, so he sent two people to guard them and came to discuss with Qu Jianlei.
He said that he borrowed the starship mainly because he wanted to contact the other two battalions of the regiment.
It is only appropriate to return when they reunite at the end. Otherwise, if their battalion independently withdraws from the battle, that would be wrong.
They are currently facing this situation, and the other battalions may not be much stronger, and they cannot guarantee the ammunition and daily necessities.
Qu Jianlei thought about it and realized that this made sense, so he gave them a battalion-level ship and two company-level ships.
A portion of the relevant ammunition was also allocated to them.
As for daily necessities... forget it. The army really doesn't lack them. We can get by just on nutritional supplements.
After these things were done, the discussion among the three people also yielded results. They made a detailed list, all of which could be of help.
Qu Jianlei took a look and unexpectedly discovered that many of the relationships between these three people were actually on Taiqing Star.
In that case, he didn't hesitate and said directly: I have my eyes on your intelligence network in Taiqing.
The lieutenant colonel battalion commander was not surprised either. At his level, he was not exposed to the secret of the relationship between Digital Phantom and Tai Qingxing.
After obtaining the information, Qu Jianlei drove a company-class ship and disappeared into the distance.
The battalion commander, Lieutenant Colonel, gathered all the prisoners he had received in a cabin.
He also told the soldiers in charge that if they found anything unusual, they should kill the prisoners directly.
The deputy major hesitated and made a suggestion.
"These are all captured by the Digital Phantom. Should we interrogate them and see what they have been through?"
The lieutenant colonel battalion commander actually wanted to do the same thing, but he was really worried, so he answered with a frown.
"They must have known some secrets. That's why the people from Digital Phantom repeatedly emphasized that they are optimistic about these people."
Is it appropriate for us to inquire about the secrets of that team?
The major thought about it and put forward his own opinion: If this is true, we should interrogate him.
In this way, no matter what accidents happen in the future, we have someone who knows the situation and can find ways to report it to the war zone.
There is no way. The Digital Phantom is so mysterious that the military has to rack their brains to find out information.
However, it didn't take long for them to get unexpected information, "Space distortion caused by space fluctuations and time?"
This is big news. "Based on their observations, it should not be a natural phenomenon... What is the Digital Phantom doing?"
"Don't think about it anymore," the lieutenant colonel said with a frown, "Go back quickly!"
Two months later, Qu Jianlei finally perfected the time differential, and the next step was to combine the two together.
But this will take quite some time.
Qu Jianlei first returned to the Future Star, found Qianhe, and asked about the latest movements of Digital Phantom.
Qian He was quite surprised by this. "Aren't you from Digital Phantom? Do you want me to find out?"
Qu Jianlei said that he was doing a rather dangerous experiment and did not want to affect the team, so it was not convenient for him to go back.
Qianhe was a little skeptical about this reason. He even suspected that this person was a fake.
But he didn't dare to refuse, and after inquiring for two days, he came back to report - there has been no movement from Digital Phantom recently.
Then Qu Jianlei asked the other party to provide a larger place with better concealment.
Because he installed the computing unit and ran the experimental data.
This is the final step in building the Black Horse Tower.
Qian He was really a little skeptical in his heart as to whether this person's origin was true, but the problem was... he couldn't afford to offend him!
He could only ask carefully, "Sir, have you heard that Digital Phantom is investigating imposters?"
"The Mining Management Department is being tortured to death by them."
Qu Jianlei replied disapprovingly, "I asked you to do something, so I paid for it, right? You also paid me for my hard work, right?"
When Qianhe heard this, she lost her temper - even if the other person was pretending, he didn't do anything else, right?
However, it is quite difficult to find a relatively hidden place on Future Star.
This is the technological center of the empire. Not only is it heavily guarded, but it also has a variety of surveillance methods.
Fortunately, the Qianhe family’s influence is indeed not small, and it took him five days to find such a manor.
It was a manor located halfway up the mountain, covering an area of more than 50,000 square meters and surrounded by lush forests.
This is the famous wealthy area of Future Star. Although not all of them are top-tier wealthy people, those who can live here are either rich or noble.
Qianhe said that this was a villa of a partner of the family and was bought by him.
Not only is this place relatively hidden, but more importantly, it can tolerate larger energy fluctuations - it is normal for wealthy homes to have higher energy consumption.
This is specially considered for the computing unit, because the area is not too large and energy fluctuations are difficult to conceal.
Qu Jianlei had to admit that this guy chose a pretty good place.
Qian He wanted to give him a free meal, but Qu Jianlei refused without hesitation, "I won't take advantage of you."
On the day he installed the computing unit, Qianhe heard new news.
"A while ago, the Digital Phantom appeared in the Alliance again, and rescued the Empire's soldiers from the encirclement of aliens."
His information was a little delayed, but it was already quite remarkable. It was impossible for ordinary people to find out similar information.
Qu Jianlei nodded calmly, "Okay, I'll ask you to buy some supplies."
Five days later in the evening, Qianhe came to the manor alone and brought the corresponding supplies.
When Qu Jianlei saw him, he ignored him and just sighed behind him, "Why are you doing this?"
Qianhe felt as if all the hairs on his body stood up and he turned around abruptly to look back.
About twenty meters behind him, a figure appeared.
Seeing the palace dress that was popular in the empire, his mouth dropped open in astonishment, "Is it... the goddess?"
Jing Yuexin didn't even look at him, but just looked at Qu Jianlei quietly, "Why?"
"The experiment is very dangerous," Qu Jianlei replied calmly, "If you are not careful, someone could die."
Qianhe was surprised to find that the famous goddess Jing actually looked a little resentful.
"Danger... is that a reason?"
"I don't even dare to stay in the Empire," Qu Jianlei answered stiffly, "You should know that I was in the Alliance a while ago."
Qianhe opened her mouth in astonishment - the person in front of her was the one who rescued people from the encirclement of aliens?
"Yeah," Jing Yuexin nodded. Hearing this, the coldness on her face receded a little, "Space... and time?"
"That's right," Qu Jianlei nodded again, "You know... how dangerous it is."
Jing Yuexin thought for a moment and looked at Qianhe, "This person knows... a little too much."
Qian He was so frightened that she begged for mercy, "Goddess, I dare not tell you your secret even if you kill me."
"It's good that you know the consequences," Jing Yuexin nodded slightly, "Okay, you can leave now."
Qianhe put down the talisman and stepped back towards the gate. "I'll come back later."
"Here's the money!" Qu Jianlei handed over a stack of banknotes in mid-air, "Don't say no."
Qianhe took the banknote, turned around and ran away.
Qu Jianlei looked into the void again and said softly, "Senior Xizhao, your concealment skills are getting better and better."
A ruler appeared, "Alas, there is nothing we can do. You have been missing for so long that we almost went to the Alliance to look for you!"
Ever since Qu Jianlei disappeared, Jing Yuexin and others have been looking for him.
The longer the time, the more intense their search.
When the military went to the Dawn Base and asked Digital Phantom what kind of testing he was doing in the Alliance, Jing Yuexin almost went to the Alliance immediately.
In the end, it was Dorgan who stopped her and said that we couldn’t find the boss in the Empire, so going to the Alliance...is there any point?
Just then, Qianhe got some information about Digital Phantom and was targeted by them.
In fact, there are many people who are asking about the news of Digital Phantom, but his identity is quite special after all, so it is worth paying attention to.
Then they learned that this guy had purchased some rare materials half a year ago.
This really looks like the boss's work. The key is the date of purchase, which was shortly after the boss disappeared.
Qianhe was immediately listed as a key suspect, and then... Qu Jianlei was exposed.
All this sounds easy, but considering the empire's population of nearly 100 billion, one can imagine how much hard work they put in.
The most important thing is that they can’t let the outside world know that their boss is missing!
Xizhao said with some resentment, "If I can't find you again, Xiaojing will tear me apart."
Qu Jianlei coughed dryly, "Well, this is what happened... Let me tell you about my experiments over the past six months."
Jing Yuexin was stunned for a moment before she uttered something inexplicable, "I won't care about your divination anymore."
