Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 1315 Star Sea (120)

Tampas Star, landing point near Base D01359.

"It’s here."

Wang Chen looked towards the ominous cloudy sky and spoke two words in a deep voice.

The more than twenty people behind him all perked up.

Apart from a few taskforce members like Xu Chengzhi, the rest were all survivors from Backup Base B00785.

As soon as Wang Chen’s words fell, a spaceship broke through the clouds, descending rapidly towards the ground, its exterior fiercely rubbing against the air like a giant burning meteor.

Landings like this could usually only be seen in documentaries from hundreds of years ago!

Just as the spaceship was about to crash, its bottom abruptly spouted dazzling flames, which counteracted the falling inertia, and four struts extended, allowing it to land steadily on the ground.

"Go!"

Wang Chen immediately strode towards the "archaic" looking spaceship, with the others following closely behind.

In the next moment, the spaceship’s hatch automatically opened, letting down a ladder.

Wang Chen was the first to step onto the ladder and enter the spaceship.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

He stood inside the hatch, urging and guiding those behind him.

There was no way around it; due to the unique energy radiation on Tampas Star, high-tech equipment would quickly fail.

Although the spaceship sent to pick them up had been specially modified and its structure simplified to the extreme, no one could guarantee how long it could last in Tampas Star’s atmospheric environment.

The people leaving with Wang Chen understood the stakes, so they rushed into the spaceship at the fastest speed.

The last to board was a taskforce member carrying Xu Chengzhi on his back.

Wang Chen brought them into the cabin, then manually pulled up the ladder and closed the hatch.

Bang!

He slapped a red button on the cabin wall with his palm.

Whoosh!

The bottom of the landing spaceship spewed flames again, struggling to break free from the planet’s gravitational binding and shooting straight up into the firmament.

The people crowded inside the cabin were extremely tense.

Everyone knew very well that this was the most dangerous moment; if something went wrong with the spaceship, it would inevitably result in the destruction of both the ship and the people aboard.

Fortunately, the worst did not happen. The specially designed spaceship was quite reliable and managed to enter a near-earth orbit after exhausting all its fuel.

Through the transparent portholes, they could see the scene of the cosmos outside.

The survivors, now out of danger, floated weightlessly and let out cries of joy.

Some even shed tears.

Ever since Tampas Star fell, they had been dreaming day and night of leaving the planet seized by the Nether Tribe and returning to safety within the Empire’s star domain.

Now that the dream had come true, the joy in their hearts was indescribable.

At this moment, Xu Chengzhi, who had been comatose, let out a low groan, his eyelids fluttering as if he was about to wake up.

Without hesitation, Wang Chen slapped him again, knocking him out once more.

This lovesick fool was better off sleeping for now!

Xu Chengzhi’s comrades looked at each other but no one spoke up in his defense.

After the powerless spaceship floated quietly in space for a few minutes, an Imperial New Sea Class Frigate slowly approached, extending a long mechanical arm to capture it.

The landing spaceship’s hatch opened, and Wang Chen was the first to emerge.

Outside was a team of fully armed interstellar warriors and medical rescue personnel.

Five minutes later, Wang Chen was sitting in a lounge, contacting Xu Shaocheng through the Star Sea network.

Receiving Wang Chen’s communication, the Empire Lieutenant General appeared quite composed, but the hope in his eyes was unmistakable.

Wang Chen straightforwardly said, "Mission accomplished."

Xu Shaocheng suddenly broke down: "Thank you!"

He used immense self-control to maintain his composure: "I’m waiting for you at Holy Light Star."

Xu Shaocheng dearly wished to personally retrieve his son, but as an Imperial Lieutenant General, he couldn’t easily leave his post.

At this moment, the powerful ion engines of the New Sea Class Frigate emitted a soft blue light, turning towards the Star Gate, its speed suddenly increasing!

Three days later, Wang Chen returned to Holy Light Star.

Bringing Xu Chengzhi along.

Xu Shaocheng personally came to the spaceport to welcome them. Ignoring his crestfallen son, he reached out and firmly shook Wang Chen’s hand: "Chief Wang, the Xu Family will never forget your life-saving grace!"

Wang Chen smiled and said, "Your Excellency is too kind."

Xu Shaocheng shook his head.

He was very aware of how dangerous Tampas Star currently was, and although the Nether Legion had been driven off, the remnants of the Nether Tribe still posed a great threat on the planet.

Furthermore, due to the unique energy radiation, the Empire couldn’t conduct large-scale rescues on this planet.

Wang Chen’s operation was, in fact, highly experimental.

Wang Chen personally verified the reliability of the specially designed landing craft, providing invaluable experience for subsequent Imperial Army actions.

Most importantly, Wang Chen had rescued Xu Shaocheng’s only son!

Everyone initially thought that the missing Xu Chengzhi had no chance of survival on Tampas Star.

The Empire Lieutenant General solemnly said, "Rest assured, the Xu Family’s promise will not change!"

He had previously promised Wang Chen that as long as Wang Chen rescued Xu Chengzhi, the Xu Family would fully support him in becoming Glory Nobility—the noblest of the nobility.

Wang Chen smiled a little.

In truth, he didn’t care about the so-called Glory Nobility title; what truly drove him to Tampas Star to rescue people was his interest in the planet’s unique circumstances.

And Wang Chen did not go on this mission in vain; the gains were immensely rewarding.

In comparison, what was the Xu Family’s reward worth?

Of course, it was also good that Xu Shaocheng could keep his promise, and there’s no reason to refuse.

Wang Chen knew that the Empire Lieutenant General and his son would have a lot to talk about, so he took his leave.

"Chief Wang..."

As he departed, Xu Shaocheng suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Regarding Chengzhi’s matter, please keep it confidential, thank you."

On the way back to Holy Light Star, the father and son had already communicated through the Star Sea network, and combined with the information from Wang Chen, he understood Xu Chengzhi’s entire situation.

His son had somehow gotten entangled with rebel forces and even been brainwashed.

If this matter was leaked, it would surely be a disgrace to the Xu Family!

Wang Chen nodded: "No problem."

He was not one to meddle in others’ business!

In truth, Wang Chen wasn’t the only one aware of the situation; many who were rescued along with him had some knowledge as well.

As for how Xu Shaocheng would handle those individuals, that was not Wang Chen’s concern.

This time, returning to Holy Light Star, Wang Chen planned to take a good rest.

To prepare for his return to the Haotian Realm.
