The Seventh Base

Chapter 702: Chapter 89: Spaceship Attacked

Xu Mo had beaten Russell up and thrown him out of the Library, thinking, Russell couldn’t possibly go complaining after getting beaten up, right?

Suffering the beating in silence was all Russell could do, but his appearance did serve as a reminder to Xu Mo that he should be more cautious in the future. They were always watching him in the shadows on Camp Star, but on Lucas Star, they did not dare to act rashly and could only move in the dark.

Ross had previously reported to him that the pressure on the mechanical groups in the Mechanical God Arena by the major planets was almost over, and perhaps for this reason, the other party had thought of negotiating.

Negotiating, how to negotiate?

Returning to the Library, Xu Mo found Nan Xiangyi glaring at him.

“Xiao Nan, he probably won’t dare to bother you anymore,” Xu Mo said.

People in the Library cursed Xu Mo as a scumbag in their hearts, saying she was his sister but then playing the hero to save the beauty, suggesting he probably had some ideas about his ‘sister.’

Today, without Zero, it had started again.

Xu Mo sat down, and Nan Xiangyi looked at him, asking softly, “What were you just talking about?”

She seemed to have heard some secret.

Camp Star, Lancelot Star, Byron.

She knew about these planets; both Camp Star and Lancelot Star had decent technological levels, although they were not at the executive council level, they were still among the stronger planets in the Star System Alliance.

Byron Star, however, was much weaker, being a frontier star, but it had an ancient history and was one of the origin planets of the star system civilization. By now, its resources were depleted, having been exploited to exhaustion.

“Secret,” Xu Mo said, realizing that Nan Xiangyi’s curiosity was quite strong.

“Xiao Nan, let’s talk cooperation instead. After establishing a base on Canaan Star, we could give you a bigger share of the profits, or we could even provide the capital,” Xu Mo continued. “As your brother, I can’t let my sister suffer losses.”

“I’m not familiar with you,” Nan Xiangyi stood up with her books and left. This guy was full of tricks; she needed to keep her distance and absolutely not end up like Elizabeth, who had been coaxed into declaring a romance.

She later realized that Elizabeth hadn’t known he was Xu Mo before, and after finding out and learning he had a girlfriend, the realization was heartbreaking.

Scumbag!

Xu Mo never expected that the seemingly easy-to-talk-to gentlewoman, Nan Xiangyi, would be the hardest to coax, which gave him a headache.

Where was he going to find another ten percent share to offer?

Elizabeth, Sal? Obviously impossible.

Ize and Carter, the brothers already didn’t have much left.

Surely he couldn’t ask the Sorey Brothers to sacrifice again?

Yekaterina had shown her stance by providing a small warship and a batch of fighters and other weapons support from Carolan Star. She wasn’t going to let go of her shares; women were all too clever.

As for himself? Xu Mo hadn’t considered it.

Trouble!

He would have to think long-term, perhaps invite student Xiao Nan to eat a few more meals together, to develop their relationship.

As time passed, Elizabeth would occasionally come to the Library, and every time she did, she would sit opposite Xu Mo and ask for help with her reading, even when Zero was there.

This made the students of Lucas University enviously mad.

The worst part was sometimes he could see Zero, Elizabeth, and Nan Xiangyi sitting next to Xu Mo; the three goddess-level beauties of Lucas University gathered, and many people had the urge to murder Xu Mo.

So, Ize and Carter started visiting the Library more often too, knowing that Elizabeth was just trying to anger Zero, but still nervous.

Of course, as the person involved, Xu Mo did not feel happy but extremely distressed.

Every time both Elizabeth and Zero were present, he was the most nervous, fearing Elizabeth might casually invite him to see her in the evening.

Agonizing!

One day, when none of the three goddesses were there, Xu Mo finally had some relief.

“Xu Mo, you have a girlfriend and a sister too?” a passing girl teased.

“They went to class,” Xu Mo replied.

“Who’s prettier, the princess or Zero?” the girl pressed on.

Xu Mo looked up at her and said, “You are the prettiest.”

“……” The girl looked at Xu Mo with an almost smiling expression and ran off in defeat. Roguel!

The teaser had been teased in return.

At that moment, his Communicator vibrated, and Xu Mo picked up.

“Sister Butterfly,” Xu Mo called out.

“Xu Mo, there’s trouble at the Group,” Ye Qingdie said.

Xu Mo’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing Ye Qingdie’s tone, and he asked anxiously, “What happened?”

“Our cargo spacecraft heading to Lucas Star from the base has been attacked,” Ye Qingdie said. The shipment of weapons produced by the base to Lucas Star had met with trouble.

Xu Mo fell silent for a moment; this was their first encounter with an accident.

“How many people were on board, and what’s the situation now?” he asked.

“Over two hundred people, and we’ve lost contact; we’re not clear on the situation,” Ye Qingdie replied. “But it doesn’t look good.”

In an interstellar flight being attacked, especially an attack targeting a spacecraft from the Lucas Aerospace Union, it was very likely that no survivors would be left. Of course, although she knew this, Ye Qingdie didn’t say it out loud.

Besides a batch of cargo, the spacecraft had many crew members on board, from both the base and the Blue Star Energy Technology Group.

“Over two hundred people,” Xu Mo felt a stab of pain in his heart. “Can we find out who did it?”

“I’ll send you a video; we’ve just received the news here too,” Ye Qingdie’s voice was also somber; she had informed Xu Mo at the first opportunity and hadn’t yet had time to deal with other matters.

“Okay,” Xu Mo nodded, and after hanging up the Communicator, Ye Qingdie sent him a video clip recorded by the spacecraft.
