The people in the Forbidden Laboratory have been looking for Sheng Rao, but Sheng Rao seemed to have disappeared on the garbage planet, and they can't find her no matter how hard they try.

"Doctor, we still haven't found No. 099."

"A bunch of trash!"

Deep in the laboratory, a stern-faced doctor in a white coat slammed the table, his voice filled with uncontrollable anger.

He is Dr. Liu, the researcher that Sheng Rao met at the beginning. He is the chief scientist of the Forbidden Laboratory and the leader of the entire project.

No. 099, Sheng Rao, was the experimental subject into whom he had poured a great deal of effort and hope. Her sudden disappearance was undoubtedly a huge blow to his authority and research results.

"Keep searching. Don't leave any corner of the garbage planet untouched! She was injected with a weakening potion, so she won't be able to run far."

Dr. Liu's voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, revealing his inner anxiety and unwillingness.

After receiving the order, the soldiers in the laboratory immediately dispersed again and intensified the search efforts.

However, they underestimated Sheng Rao's ability to survive on the garbage planet, and they didn't know that there was someone like Leo protecting her in secret.

Leo's territory is a relatively safe and hidden refuge for pirates. Basically no one dares to come here. The reason Sheng Rao can hide here is because she thinks the most dangerous place is also the safest place.

The soldiers searched other places on the garbage planet, but did not look for the pirate group's shelter.

Outside the shelter, the soldiers were still searching extensively for Sheng Rao.

Originally, the forbidden laboratory would not have searched for Sheng Rao so extensively, but Sheng Rao was the experimental subject assigned by Li Xingchen. More importantly, Dr. Liu had made a breakthrough in his experiment on Sheng Rao, so he was so anxious to find Sheng Rao that he even sent out soldiers.

After Leo brought Sheng Rao back to the shelter, Leah came to find them.

Leah winked at Leo playfully. She thought Leo was taking Sheng Rao out on a date.

"Brother, Sister Sheng, you are back!"

Leah's voice was clear and pleasant, breaking the silence in the shelter. She came to Leo and Sheng Rao with an innocent smile on her face. However, when she noticed the solemn expressions of the two, especially the nervousness flashing in Sheng Rao's eyes, she immediately restrained her smile and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Leo patted Leah's shoulder gently, trying to make his tone sound more relaxed: "It's nothing serious."

Upon hearing this, Leah looked at the two of them in disbelief.

"Why are you so serious if there's nothing wrong?"

"Liya, Rao Sheng is leaving."

Leo could see that Leah liked Rao Sheng very much, but all good things must come to an end. She would eventually know that Sheng Rao was leaving, so it would be better to tell her directly now.

"What do you mean? Sister Sheng is leaving? Where is she going?"

Leah's eyes dimmed instantly, and she held Sheng Rao's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that if she let go, she would disappear.

"Sister Sheng, are you going to leave us? Is it because I did something wrong that you don't like it here anymore?"

Sheng Rao gently stroked Leah's hair, her eyes full of tenderness and reluctance.

"Liya, you've done a great job, and it's warm here, but everyone has their own path to take, and I'm no exception. I'm going to find my own future, but please believe that no matter where I am, I will remember you and this wonderful time."

Leo added: "Liya, Rao Sheng has her own mission and dream. We can't selfishly keep her. Besides, she now has a legal identity and can safely go wherever she wants to go."

Although Leah was reluctant, she also understood that what Leo said made sense. She tried to force a smile, even though her eyes were red.

"Sister Sheng, you must come back to see us more often, okay? I will miss you."

Sheng Rao hugged Leah tightly and promised, "I will, Leah."

"This is a garbage planet. How are we going to leave, Sister Sheng?"

Leah raised her doubts.

There are no alien spacecraft coming to the garbage planet at all.

"Have you forgotten the meaning of garbage planet? Every month, a garbage-delivering aircraft will come to dump the garbage. It will be two days before the next garbage aircraft comes." Leo explained.

Now, apart from this method, Sheng Rao has no other way to leave the garbage planet.

Two days is really short.

Leah couldn't bear to let Sheng Rao leave, she hugged Sheng Rao and cried and acted coquettishly.

"Sister Sheng, I really don't want you to leave here."

Leo couldn't help feeling sad when he saw the deep affection between his sister and Sheng Rao.

He sighed softly. Not only did Leah miss Sheng Rao, he also missed him. He didn't even have the time to tell Sheng Rao about his feelings.

"Oh no! Lord Leo! There are a lot of soldiers outside!"

A pirate member rushed into the shelter, breaking the warm atmosphere inside, his voice carrying a hint of panic and uneasiness.

Leo's eyes became sharp in an instant. He stood up quickly and protected Leah behind him.

"Are you sure they are soldiers? How did they find this place?" Leo's voice was low and calm, but it was not difficult to hear the tension in it.

"Yes, sir, they are approaching this way. There are quite a lot of them, and it seems they are coming for us." The pirate member answered concisely, his eyes revealing the fear of the unknown.

Leo thought to himself that these soldiers were not coming for the pirate group.

They must be looking for someone, which is why they came to his shelter.

"I'll go check it out. Rao Sheng, please take Leah to the basement."

Leo was afraid that these soldiers had bad intentions and that there would definitely be conflicts, and they might even resort to violence.

Sheng Rao's heart tightened when she heard this, but she quickly calmed down, nodded, took Leah's hand, and said softly: "Liya, let's go to the basement to hide. When Brother Leo handles things, we will be safe."

Although Leah was reluctant, she also realized the urgency of the situation. She didn't say anything more, but just held Sheng Rao's hand tightly. The two of them quickly and quietly walked through the intricate corridors and headed towards the basement deep in the shelter.

It is the last line of defense of the pirate group, equipped with complex mechanisms and hidden passages, enough to resist sudden threats.

In the basement, the dim lights barely illuminated the surroundings. The air was filled with a depressing and tense atmosphere. Sheng Rao comforted Leah to sit down, while she stood aside, silently praying in her heart that Leo would be safe.

Fortunately, the soldier only showed Leo a facial photo of Sheng Rao as a mermaid for identification and asked him if he had seen the woman in the photo.
