The transaction with the soft-shelled turtle went very smoothly.

Chi Yao decided on a meeting place, and all equipment and energy stones were transported without contact.

Coordinated by Jing Xi, the boss of the Beluga Constellation garrison, the Energy Stone was given the green light all the way and sent to the location designated by Zhang Sheng.

"Worthy of being the boss of Jiying, he has a wide network of contacts." Zhang Sheng and Chi Yao clinked glasses, "I wonder if you will accept this business?"

Smuggling energy stones is illegal in the empire, but it can't stand the huge profits, so many people rush in one after another.

Chi Yao swung his glass and didn't drink.

"Mr. Zhang was joking. Although I don't have a household registration, I consider myself a law-abiding and patriotic citizen. How could I do such a thing?"

Zhang Sheng: "..."

Just as Chi Yao left, Zhang Sheng's terminal rang.

The pop-up virtual screen was still pitch black, only the old voice came to his ears through the screen.

"Did you buy back the energy stone?"

Zhang Sheng put down his wine glass, straightened his suit, and walked behind his desk: "The e3 series and e7 series are both rare energy sources. There are three factories waiting for raw materials to be delivered by Mr. Li and Mr. Wu, and we can't afford them."

Rare energy is not only produced in a small amount, but also very difficult to mine. It generally appears in areas where beasts are infested in the fifth-level danger zone.

Most of the time, even if you have money, you have to queue up to give the goods.

This is why rare energies are so heavily traded in gray areas.

An old voice: "Have you investigated Chi Yao?"

Zhang Sheng: "It's just an insatiable star thief, need to bother to investigate?"

The voice on the other side of the screen sounded a little displeased.

"He is not an ordinary star thief."

Zhang Sheng smiled indifferently: "No matter how unusual he is, he will pursue interests. As long as we have no conflict of interest with him, we will not be enemies."

Old voice: "You are too confident."

"You are too cautious." Zhang Sheng leaned on the armrest and looked straight at the virtual screen. "If he really has other purposes, with his character, we can survive until now?"

An old voice: "He arrested so many of you and me, is this called An Sheng?"

Zhang Sheng chuckled: "It's just that the benefits are not enough, leave this matter to me, and I will let him send him back intact."

An old voice: "Spend money to buy people?"

Zhang Sheng: "It's not impossible."

The old voice snorted coldly.

The two couldn't reach an agreement, and broke up unhappy.

After the virtual screen disappeared, Zhang Sheng was silent for a moment and let the assistant come in.

"Make another appointment with those three companies and re-transact."

The assistant said: "These days they have been coming to trouble us every day, saying that they want us to compensate for the losses, so they may not be willing to make a deal now."

Zhang Sheng stood up and looked out the window.

"You tell them, we will compensate them according to the contract, they don't want energy stones, there are so many people queuing up to grab them."

Assistant: "Yes!"

On the main ship of Anbu Spaceship, a group of programmers are monitoring the turtle network.

One suddenly stood up and shouted at Chi Yao.

"Boss, they are ready to trade!"

Chi Yao ate the strawberry in his hand, wiped his hands and walked over.

On the enlarged virtual screen is the transaction information intercepted by the programmer.

"Continue to follow." Chi Yao said to those soldiers who specialize in tracking energy stones, "Pay attention to the movement of energy stones."

Everyone: "Yes!"

By the noon of the next day, the energy stone flowed out in just one day, and had spread to ten planets, involving hundreds of companies and institutions.

Jing Xi sorted out these materials and stayed up all day and night.

When Chi Yao came back from the detention cabin, Jing Xi rested on the sofa with her eyes closed.

He quietly went to the bedroom, took a blanket and covered Jing Xi, and took advantage of the opportunity to sneak a kiss.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Just about to leave quietly, Jing Xi suddenly raised her hand to hold his head and kissed him.

"Go to bed?" Chi Yao traced the end of his eyes with his fingertips, "The dark circles under the eyes are almost hanging from the corners of the mouth."

Jing Xi pulled him to sit down: "Look at this."

From the terminal, he called up a summary data that he had just sorted out, opened it and zoomed in to mid-air.

"These are all old-fashioned manufacturing companies. I checked the military's procurement list over the years, and they all accounted for a lot of shares, and he was the second-level approver at that time."

With that said, Jing Xi retrieved a previous purchase list from the system, and turned to the page of approvers.

"Bo Jin?"

Chi Yao's expression changed, and his heart felt as if he had been hit by a hammer.

The time he went to see this contract was 26 years ago.

Jing Xi: "I checked, this is the second year he has just been promoted to major general."

Chi Yao was thoughtful: "Can you find out all the contracts he signed in those years?"

"I found it." Jing Xi clicked on a folder, "For the companies that appeared in the summary file, all the procurement contracts in those years passed through his hands."

Chi Yao clicked on it, compared the company's files, and looked at them one by one.

Jing Xi looked serious: "There are usually three second-level approvers. Unless this order is requested by him, they are all randomly assigned among general-level officers. It cannot be such a coincidence."

Chi Yao's face darkened.

"He has something to do with the ghost."

Jing Xi noticed his expression and didn't know how to comfort him for a while.

The dead father may be a ghost in the military, no matter who it is, it will not feel comfortable.

Chi Yao said indifferently: "Major General Bo and Bai Yi are closely related. If we continue to investigate this line, we will definitely catch Bai Yi."

Jing Xi: "Even if Bo Jin is not the person of the ghost, he is still a relevant stakeholder, but—I always feel that there is something in it that we have overlooked."

Chi Yao turned his head to look at him: "What?"

Jing Xi shook his head, and said seriously: "I don't think the person who can be praised by my father would be such a scum."

Chi Yao was amused: "You have confidence in your father's vision?"

Jing Xi: "Of course, otherwise, who do you think my vision is from?"

After joking and joking, the tense atmosphere relaxed a little.

Knowing that Jing Xi was trying to comfort herself, Chi Yao rubbed his head.

"No matter what happened to him before, it can't affect me. It's the way you are trying to comfort me, which puts me under a lot of pressure."

Jing Xi said with a wooden face: "...why?"

Chi Yao spread his hands: "You are so serious about comforting me, so I have to show more concern? Otherwise, I have failed your comfort?"

Jing Xi: "..."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Chi Yao beckoned Xiao Hei to open the door.

Li Yuan strode in.

"Boss, they found the hidden guard!"

Chi Yao didn't understand for a while.

"Who is looking for a dog? Why are you looking for it?"

"They said there that the spacecraft and the dog were accidentally discovered during monitoring, and it seemed to be wandering in places where there was no signal—"

Chi Yao's expression changed, he got up and walked out.

"Which planet was detected?"

Li Yuan followed quickly, puzzled: "It's here."

Chi Yao couldn't believe it: "810?"

"Go and ask first." Jing Xi walked beside him, equally anxious in her heart.

What Yinwei was looking for was the base where Chi Yao lived since he was a child, and he wandered there. Could it be that he found this place?

In the main cabin, several officers are discussing the matter.

Seeing Chi Yao and Jing Xi coming in, they saluted immediately.

"Boss, this is where the hidden guard is." A military officer zoomed in on a certain part of the eastern hemisphere on the holographic map, "We didn't find that there was no signal in this area during the first surveillance scan, this time it was because we saw this mark. Noticed."

Chi Yao looked at the map. In a large virgin forest, there was a piece of bald vegetation on a mountain, which happened to be a very big "S".

Chi Yao zoomed in on the picture again, and it was only when he got closer that he could see clearly that this S was from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, and all the trees on the path were cut down.

On the sharp point at the top of the S, there is a big dog having fun.

Chi Yao: "..."

Jing Xi took a look, leaned into his ear and asked in a low voice, "Is it here?"

Chi Yao turned the map over and looked at it for a moment, then shook his head: "I don't remember clearly."

Most of these places are covered by trees, but it's just that they can't see clearly at all.

Brother Bing: "Do you want to save them?"

Chi Yao: "I'll go in person."

There was nothing special to prepare, and after handing over the matters of the ghost group to Li Yuan, Chi Yao ordered a small fighter plane to fly to the eastern hemisphere.

On the fighter plane, Jing Xi sat in the driver's seat and set the course. He turned his head to look at the silent Chi Yao, not knowing what to say for a while.

The base that I have been looking for for so many years is so close, Chi Yao has mixed feelings.

The empire is too big, no matter how small a planet is, it is impossible for one person to travel all over it casually.

"Xixi, hurry up."

Chi Yao urged.

Jing Xi pulled the lever to increase the speed to the highest.

"Remember whether the base was above ground or underground?"

Chi Yao: "All of them."

He recalled what happened at that time and explained in a low voice.

"The living and research and development areas are underground, and there are many sentinels on the ground. If they are not demolished, you should be able to see them as long as you go there."

In just one hour, the huge "S" appeared on the surveillance screen.

The fighter plane landed steadily and passed over the tall trees.

Only here did they see clearly that those trees were not cut down, but broken.

You can tell whose masterpiece it is at a glance.

"Go to Xixi first?"

Jing Xi asked.

Chi Yao nodded.

Dogs are more sensitive to smells, especially if they are looking for the place where the hermit was born.

On the ground, several soldiers were camping in place and waiting, and loud bangs kept coming from their ears.

"Captain Chen, do you want to give the dog a tranquilizer? It has been crazy for two days." Brother One Inch asked in a low voice.

Beta, called Team Chen, looked into the distance.

"Wait a minute, after all, it's the boss's dog, let the boss come—"

Boom!

There was a strong vibration from the ground, and dust swept over like a sandstorm.

A group of people can't dodge in time, so don't make them look ashamed.

Brother Bing couldn't help coughing, and hid in the tent, shrinking, with a bitter face.

"Can we wait until the boss?"

There are leaves all over his head, Team Chen: "...take out the needle."

If there is too much movement, it will be bad if the enemy is attracted.

Brother Bing's eyes lit up, he untied his backpack and rummaged through it.

Before I could find it, a strong wind suddenly came out from the top of my head, blowing all the fallen leaves around again.

A group of people raised their hands to cover their eyes, but they were still too dazed to keep their eyes open.

Amidst the roar, a black warship slowly appeared in front of them.

Team Chen raised his hand to touch the gun on his lower back, but saw Anbu's logo the next moment.

His eyes lit up.

The fighter plane landed, and a moment later the hatch opened, and Chi Yao jumped down from it.

Seeing him, a group of soldiers almost burst into tears.

"Boss, you are finally here!"

Chi Yao's rare heavy heart dissipated after seeing their ghostly appearance.

"Who raped you?"

Team Chen brushed off the leaves from his head and ran over in small steps.

"After arriving at this place, the hidden guard suddenly screamed wildly. It hasn't stopped since we put it down. It has been two days."

Boom!

The ground shook again, and Chi Yao subconsciously pulled Jing Xi into his arms to protect him, and turned his back to the wind.

After a shower of leaves, Dui Chen's freshly dusted head was green again.

"..."

Still fucking infinite loop?

Jing Xi broke away slightly, and almost laughed when he saw Chi Yao's hair.

"You're green."

Chi Yao: "..."

"Ouch--!"

A dog was barking in the distance, Chi Yao took Jing Xi to the direction of the dog.

The hidden guard had just gathered his strength and was about to scratch off the obtrusive tree in front of him with his claws, when he saw Chi Yao approaching from the corner of his eye, his feet slipped and he fell flat on the spot.

"Ooooooooooooo-"

Chi Yao couldn't bear to look at the dirty hair.

"Here?" he asked.

Yinwei hurriedly got up, nodded vigorously, gestured with his front paws, and even exerted force with his tail.

A group of people looked a little confused.

Jing Xi looked at Chi Yao: "What is it talking about?"

"It said it was here." Chi Yao sneered, "The place where it met the little she-wolf."

Jing Xi: "..."

The focus is wrong, but the place is right.

There is no signal here, Jing Xi took a few old-fashioned communicators from the battleship and distributed them to them.

Chi Yao: "Split to look for the sentry point, and contact us at any time if there is any situation."

That being said, it's okay for Gouzi to have fun for so long, and the place has probably been emptied long ago.

There were not many of them, Jing Xi wanted to separate from Chi Yao and act alone, but Chi Yao refused.

"Either follow me, or stay on the fighter plane."

Jing Xi: "My strength is no worse than those few."

Chi Yao said calmly, "What I mean is, you can either protect me or the fighter plane."

Jing Xi: "..."

After walking for half an hour, there is almost no memory point in front of me except for the tree or the tree.

Seeing that Chi Yao occasionally recognized the route, Jing Xi asked, "Can you remember anything?"

Chi Yao shook his head: "Follow your intuition."

When they got to one place, Xiaohong's voice sounded in Jingxi's mind.

[There is radio interference here. 】

Jing Xi's eyes flashed, and he suddenly thought of something.

Chi Yao: "What's wrong?"

"I know that there is a special radio wave emitting device that can affect brain waves and affect people's judgment and perception."

Jing Xi looked around, "Don't you think the trees here are planted regularly?"

"A tree similar to the one before will appear at a certain distance." Chi Yao sneered, "Manual anti-theft?"

Jing Xi: "I've only heard of this method when I was in military school."

Chi Yao's eyes flashed: "That is to say, the people who built this place are likely to be from the military background?"

Jing Xi: "This possibility cannot be ruled out."

After walking for another half an hour, Chi Yao walked faster and faster.

Jing Xi noticed the short-necked tree reappearing in front of him. This is already the No. 12 tree that came along this way.

Even if the comparison is not exactly the same, the impressions formed in the mind of the past things at a glance are very limited. After seeing the same tree for the third time, most people will think that they have taken the same path and choose another path.

"here."

Chi Yao took Jing Xi's hand and walked quickly in one direction.

There was the sound of rushing water, and a small waterfall could be seen through the gaps in the trees.

"arrive."

Chi Yao stepped out of the woods, and there was a small valley in front of him.

Across the pool, there is a very high cliff on the opposite side. At the bottom of the cliff are piled up rocks and a cave full of weeds.

"Where is the place where you gave birth to Yinwei?" Jing Xi asked.

This is exactly the same as Chi Yao's previous description.

Chi Yao was about to nod, but when he realized it, he tapped his forehead with a curved finger.

"It was to take it out of the she-wolf's stomach."

He looked up to the top of the cliff, his face turned cold.

"That place is up there—"
