Chapter 1315.
Tempus, landing site near base D01359.
“Coming.”
Wang Dust’s gaze looked towards the cloudy sky and said two words in a deep voice.
The twenty or so people behind him were all in high spirits.
Other than Xu Chengzhi and a few other contingent members, all of these people were survivors of the B00785 Reserve Base.
As soon as Wang Dust’s words fell, a spaceship broke through the dark clouds and fell towards the ground at a high speed, its exterior rubbing violently against the air as if it was a large meteorite burning with flames.
Such a landing scene was usually only seen in documentaries from hundreds of years ago!
Just at the moment when this airship was about to crash to the ground, its bottom steeply ejected dazzling flames, and the resulting counter-thrust canceled out the inertia of the descent while unfolding the four supports and landing steadily on the ground.
“Go!”
Wang Chen immediately took big strides towards the “ancient” airship, followed by the others.
In the next moment, the hatch of the airship opened automatically, releasing a gangway.
Wang Chen was the first to step on the gangway and enter the interior of the airship.
“Hurry up!”
He stood on the inside of the hatch, urging and picking up the people behind him.
There was no way around it, high-tech equipment would fail quickly due to the presence of Tampax Star’s special energy radiation.
Although the ship that had come to pick him up had undergone special modifications to simplify its structure to the extreme, no one could guarantee how long it would be able to last in the Tampaxian atmosphere.
The people who left with Wang Chen knew the stakes, so they all rushed into the ship as fast as they could.
One of the last contingent to board was carrying Xu Chengzhi on his back.
Wang Dust brought the two within the cabin, then manually pulled up the gangway and closed the hatch.
Snap!
He slapped his palm on a red button on the right bulkhead.
Boom!
The bottom of this landing craft once again erupted in a stream of flame in an effort to break free of the planet’s gravity and shoot straight up into the sky.
The people in the cabin were huddled together, all of them looking extremely tense.
Everyone knew very well that this was the most dangerous moment, once something went wrong with the ship, it would inevitably result in the destruction of the ship and the death of the people.
Fortunately, the worst didn’t happen, the specially designed ship was quite reliable, and after consuming all the fuel, it successfully entered the near-Earth orbit.
Through the transparent portholes, one was able to see the view of the cosmic space outside.
The survivors who were out of danger floated weightlessly and unanimously let out cheers of joy.
Some even shed tears.
After the fall of Tampas Star, they had dreamed day and night of being able to leave this planet occupied by the Underworld Race and return to the safety of the empire’s starfield.
Now that their dreams had come true, the joy in their hearts really could not be described in words.
At this time, Xu Chengzhi, who had been unconscious all this time, moaned lowly and moved his eyelids, seemingly about to awaken.
Without hesitation, Wang Chen slapped down another palm and knocked him unconscious once again.
This kind of love brain, it is better to remain asleep!
Xu Chengzhi’s comrades looked at each other in dismay, but no one stepped forward to fight for him.
After the unpowered ship floated silently in space for a few minutes, an Imperial Xinhai-class frigate slowly approached over and stretched out its long mechanical arm to capture it.
It was smoothly incorporated within the ship’s cabin.
The hatch of the landing ship opened, and Wang Dust was the first to step out.
Outside was a team of heavily armed interstellar warriors, as well as medical rescuers.
Five minutes later, Wang Chen sat in the lounge and contacted Xu Shao Cheng through the Star Ocean Network.
Receiving Wang Dust’s communication, the Imperial Rear Admiral looked rather calm, but the hopefulness that flowed from his eyes could not be concealed.
Wang Dust said bluntly, “I’m honored to meet you.”
Xu Shao Cheng instantly broke his defenses, “Thank you!”
It took a great deal of perseverance for him to control his emotions, “I’ll be waiting for your return at the Sacred Light Star.”
Xu Shao Cheng wanted to personally come and retrieve his son, but he was unable to leave his post lightly as an Imperial Rear Admiral.
At this moment, the powerful ion engines of the Xinhai-class frigate spewed out a bluish glow, reversing its direction towards the stargate and flying at a steeply accelerated speed!
Three days later, Wang Dust returned to the Sacred Light Star.
Taking Xu Chengzhi with him.
Xu Shao Cheng personally came to the air port to greet him, ignoring his downcast beloved son, he stretched out his hands and shook hands with Wang Dust forcefully, “Chief Wang, your saving grace, the Xu family and I will never forget it!”
Wang Dust smiled and said, “Your Excellency is overstating things.”
Xu Shao Cheng shook his head.
He was very clear about how dangerous the current Tampax Planet was, although the Psi-Legion had been driven away, the Psi-Race remaining on the planet was still a huge threat.
And because of the special energy radiation, the empire was unable to carry out a large-scale rescue of the planet.
Wang Chuan’s operation was in fact extremely experimental.
Wang Chuan had personally verified the reliability of the special landing ship, providing invaluable experience for the Imperial Army’s subsequent operations.
Most importantly, Wang Chen had saved Xu Shao Cheng’s only son!
Previously, everyone thought that there was no chance that Xu Chengzhi, who had disappeared on the planet Tampax, could have survived.
This Imperial Major General said in a deep voice, “Don’t worry, there will be no change in the Xu Family’s promise!”
Previously, he had made a promise to Wang Dust that as long as Wang Dust rescued Xu Chengzhi, then the Xu Family would fully support Wang Dust to become a Glorious Aristocrat – an aristocrat among aristocrats.
Wang Dust smiled.
In fact, he didn’t care about the so-called Glorious Noble title at all, and what really made him travel to Tampax to save the people lay in his interest in the planet’s special situation.
And Wang Chen did not make the trip in vain, the harvest this time could be said to be incomparably huge.
In comparison, what could the Xu family’s reward be?
Of course, it was good that Xu Shao Cheng was able to keep his promise, and there was no reason to refuse.
Wang Dust knew that this Imperial Major General must have a lot to say to his own son, so he excused himself and left.
“Chief Wang ……”
When it was time to say goodbye, Xu Shao Cheng suddenly lowered his voice and said, “Please keep Cheng Zhi’s matter a secret, thank you.”
On the way back to the Sacred Light Star, father and son had already communicated through the Star Ocean Network, along with the information they had learned from Wang Dust, so he knew all about Xu Chengzhi’s situation.
His own son, had actually colluded with the rebel forces, and had even been brainwashed.
If this matter were to leak out, it would definitely be a disgrace to the Xu family!
Wang Dust nodded, “No problem.”
He wasn’t going to mind his own business!
In fact, Wang Dust was not the only one who knew about the situation, those who had been rescued together also had quite a bit of knowledge.
As for how Xu Shao Cheng had gotten rid of those people, it wasn’t something Wang Chen needed to be concerned about.
Returning to the Sacred Light Star this time, Wang Chen planned to take a good rest for a while.
To prepare for his return to the Haotian Realm.
