Even after flying far away with Uncle Mu Luo on a medium-sized low-altitude shuttle, Chu Nan was still a little stunned.

For some reason… how did he suddenly become a specially hired first-level security guard of the Seres Security Company?

After being in a daze for a while, Chu Nan could not help but turn to ask Uncle Mu Luo beside him, “Uncle Mu Luo, you’re listening to Dong Fang’s orders because this kid usually fooled you like this, right?”

Even a calm and taciturn person like Uncle Mu Luo could not help but laugh when he saw Chu Nan’s expression.

He shook his head. “Dong Fang didn’t lie to you, right? He asked you to sign this contract for your own good. According to the contract, after the operation is successful, you will obtain a good commission. Moreover, if you suffer any damage or even lose your life in this operation, the company will give you the corresponding compensation. No matter how you look at it, it’s much better than you helping for nothing.”

!!

“However, I originally only planned to help him on account of my friend and spar with the other party’s experts to train myself. Now that I’ve signed this contract, won’t I become that kid’s subordinate?” At this point, Chu Nan frowned and cursed softly, “Damn, I feel unhappy when I think of having to listen to this kid’s orders. I really shouldn’t have been fooled by him.”

Uncle Mu Luo said with a serious expression, “No, Dong Fang is not responsible for first-line combat command. Strictly speaking, your current superior is me. You should listen to my orders.”

Chu Nan looked at Uncle Mu Luo in surprise. When he saw his serious expression, he could not help but have a headache.

With Uncle Mu Luo’s personality, he might really take this seriously. Didn’t that mean that he could not move casually?

Damn, he should not have listened to Dong Fang’s bluff and caused so much trouble.

Perhaps sensing Chu Nan’s thoughts, Uncle Mu Luo smiled, “You don’t have to worry. You’re a specially hired first-level security guard. I won’t give you too many orders and will only remind you when necessary not to affect the overall operation. As long as you cooperate with us, it’s fine.”

Chu Nan shrugged helplessly, “It can’t be helped. Who asked me to be tricked by Dong Fang into this? Alright, Uncle Mu Luo, what should we do now?”

Uncle Mu Luo glanced at the virtual screen in front of him and pondered, “According to the latest information, the enemy is still retreating at a fixed speed to the northwest at 37.91 degrees. According to their trajectory, we deduce that they should have set up an ambush ahead and seem to plan to fight us head-on.”

“There’s an ambush?” Chu Nan was immediately surprised, “Are those guys crazy? Could it be that they really plan to fight our Earth Federation’s fleet and those gangs on this planet? Where does their confidence come from?”

After saving Uncle Mu Luo and seeing Dong Fang again, those enemies chose to retreat because they had already paid the price of losing a war fortress and nearly a hundred armed low-altitude shuttles.

At that time, Dong Fang did not have enough strength and did not choose to pursue them. However, the other party’s retreating fleet did not escape in a hurry. Instead, it could even be said that they were still in an orderly manner and swaggered towards the wasteland as if they were not worried about being chased.

Now, the latest information showed that they actually wanted to set up an ambush. This was really unbelievable.

Not to mention the entire fleet and five combined low-altitude shuttle brigades of the Seres Security Company brought by Dong Fang, even the subordinates of the five local factions, including the Silisus Chamber of Commerce, were very powerful. How could any other faction on Planet Leppler defeat his mother?

Uncle Mu Luo shook his head. “There’s insufficient information and we can’t determine it. However, according to the other party’s actions, they might have a base in the depths of the wasteland. Perhaps there’s a powerful force hidden that we don’t know about.”

“You can’t find anything with the satellite?” Chu Nan pointed upwards.

After being attacked, Dong Fang had indeed ordered the space fleet of the Seres Security Company to launch a reconnaissance satellite. It was currently orbiting in synchronous orbit above this wasteland.

The reason why the trajectory of the other party’s fleets’ retreat was clearly detected was this satellite.

If the other party had a base hidden in the depths of the wasteland, there was no reason for the reconnaissance satellite to not see it.

“This satellite is a portable model. Its power is not enough to detect the underground target,” Uncle Mu Luo explained, “Moreover, if the other party has prepared a special method to block the signal, the satellite can’t detect it either.”

“According to this, the other party is very prepared. No matter how I look at it, he shouldn’t have suddenly come from another planet.” Chu Nan touched his chin and considered for a moment before suddenly asking, “Is it the Angelo Chamber of Commerce?”

Uncle Mu Luo glanced at Chu Nan and shook his head.

“Both are possible.”

“Both are possible?” Chu Nan was stunned, “Then why are you still working with these guys? Hurry up and run.”

“This is also the suggestion our Seres Security Company made to the caravan, but the caravan representative doesn’t agree.” Uncle Mu Luo sighed, “Those merchants won’t give up this possible chance to earn big money.”

“You have to be alive to earn it.” Chu Nan rolled his eyes and suddenly thought of Dong Fang. He immediately felt that Dong Fang might be thinking the same as the merchants in the Earth’s caravan and was unwilling to give up this opportunity.

This kid even planned to take this opportunity to build a good relationship with the Rand Clansmen and use them to do something.

When he thought of the Rand Clan, Chu Nan felt that he could not give up so easily.

“Uncle Mu Luo, I’ll go over there to cultivate for a while. If you need me, call me.”

Chu Nan instructed Uncle Mu Luo and sat in a corner of the low-altitude shuttle before starting to cultivate.

Previously, he had encountered danger several times in the process of saving Dong Fang and Uncle Mu Luo.

Although the serious injuries he had suffered had already been completely healed by him with the Flame of Life and the large amount of life force he had lost had been replenished through the Goddess’ Song, the exhaustion of his Internal Breath still had to be completely recovered by cultivating with all his might.

Now that the battle was imminent, he had to hurry up and adjust himself to his best state.

As soon as he sat down, Chu Nan immediately focused his mind. The Internal Breath in his dantian circulated and filled all the meridians in his body in the blink of an eye. The modified sixth level of the Nine Revolutions Technique was activated. His Internal Breath quickly circulated in all the meridians including every fine meridian and quickly strengthened.

Not far away, Uncle Mu Luo and another first-level security guard, a Void Break expert, turned around at the same time and looked in Chu Nan’s direction with surprise.

Although Chu Nan was only cultivating his Internal Breath cultivation method and adjusting it, the spatial energy in the space around him naturally circulated. This was originally a phenomenon that every Void Break Martial Artist would show when adjusting their Internal Breath, so it was not strange.

However, the circulation of spatial energy in the surrounding space far exceeded their common sense.
