Rebirth Counterattack: I Heard That the Imperial Marshal Has a Crush on Me

On Lu Junzhi’s side, Zhou Xu reported, “Our people followed them all the way to a deserted star, saw their spaceship land, and then entered a cave.”

“Desolate Star?” Lu Junzhi looked at the tracking route map sent back on the screen. According to the display on it, the closest location there—

“It’s El Star,” Zhou Xu frowned slightly.

El Star was the planet where the battle between the Alliance and the Empire had been fiercest. It originally belonged to the Alliance, but later became an abandoned star due to the damage caused by the war.

Many people had either died in the war or left to live on other planets.

The rest were people who had nowhere to go.

Due to the destruction from the war, the natural environment of the planet was now very harsh, and it was said that star beasts were rampant. Even the Alliance had completely abandoned El Star long ago.

The most painful injuries caused by war were always suffered by the people at the bottom.

For a moment, everyone in the starship fell silent.

“Boss, right now we only use the X-1 energy stone on the Deep Blue starship. This kind of ore is easy to mine, but it’s too difficult to purify. It will take some time before other starships can use it,” Zhou Xu said, looking at Lu Junzhi.

Energy stone No. X-1 was the kind of energy stone originally discovered on Chu Muxi’s resource star.

The military department and the parliament had still been arguing over it, but they didn’t know that they had already started using energy stones on starships.

But now only one starship, the Deep Blue, could use it.

In other words, if they wanted to go to war with the opponent, without knowing the number of weapons and equipment the opponent had, the only starship they could call upon was the Deep Blue.

Could other starships be invisible? They had rushed here, but once the war started, they couldn’t hide.

“No need,” Lu Junzhi said calmly.

Zhou Xu nodded. “Then I’ll make arrangements first.”

“Yes,” Lu Junzhi said, his gaze heavy as he looked at the space outside the starship. “Muxi, wait for me to pick you up.”

Chu Muxi followed Casey deeper into the cave. As he walked, he felt the temperature around him growing lower and lower.

By the time he arrived, he couldn’t help but shiver.

Casey took one look and smiled. “You’re not good with your small body. You need to exercise more in the future.”

Chu Muxi clasped his hands together and breathed out. “Is this a mine?”

Casey smiled but didn’t answer.

Chu Muxi looked around and saw only a few dim mining lamps emitting faint light.

After walking for a while, there was suddenly a sound of footsteps in front of him.

A series of laughter spread from far to near, and Chu Muxi saw a giant hugging Casey and slapping him hard twice on the back with his big hands, which were like bear claws. “Casey! My old friend! See you again!”

Casey’s figure, which had looked strong on Black Star, suddenly became petite when he was held in the arms of this giant.

Chu Muxi silently took half a step back, turned his head away, and ignored Casey’s look for help directed at him.

Casey thought: This little brat! Sure enough, he treated him well for nothing! Fortunately, he had deliberately brought only him here!

Chu Muxi thought: ‘If you are good to Ximu and brought Ximu here, what does it have to do with me, Chu Muxi?’

“Vincent, you are suffocating me to death!” Casey struggled a few times, almost unable to breathe.

Vincent laughed twice. “Friend, why are you still acting like a little chicken? This is not good.” After saying that, he noticed Chu Muxi standing not far away, and his eyes suddenly lit up. “Oh! Who is this little cutie? Is this a gift from you?”

Chu Muxi: “???”
