Chapter 250 The Sneaky Pirate Leader

Since boarding the warship, Liang He has discovered that the little black pendant on her wrist has disappeared again.

Liang He figured he was probably hiding somewhere, continuing his hibernation, so she didn't look for him.

Although the weather on Skalan was much warmer than on Tianyao, she figured it was probably because Xiao Hei hadn't adjusted to the time difference yet, so she didn't think much of it.

What are the recent activities of the rebels?

Elius hid in Liang He's room, and even when no one was around, he cautiously slipped into the bathroom.

Only after confirming that the surrounding environment was safe did he begin to contact his subordinates.

[As you instructed, our spies within the rebel ranks have reported that they appear to be conducting new research recently.]

If the rebels can plant spies among other forces, then naturally some people will also infiltrate the rebels.

As the leader of the space pirates, it's quite normal for Elius to plant some of his own people in the rebel army.

[New research?]

As Elius pondered these three words, he began to have a vague guess in his mind.

Do you know the specifics of the research?

Unfortunately, due to insufficient permissions, we are unable to determine the exact amount of information.

The existence of the Black Wizard is shrouded in mystery; very few people have ever seen his true face, and most only have the impression of him in a black robe.

His previous research on ferocious beasts had earned him high praise from the rebel leader, so this new research naturally became even more secretive.

Did they send anyone to Skalan?

Elius was not surprised that his subordinates could not find out about the new research on dark wizards.

He just asked casually; if there were any new clues, that would be great, but if not, it wouldn't matter.

Yes, intelligence indicates that the rebels secretly sent agents to Skalan last month.

Because of Elius's orders, his men paid close attention to the movements of the rebels.

As space pirates, their unique intelligence network and stealth capabilities kept the rebels from noticing their surveillance.

[Understood. The ships you sent to Skalan, remember to stay hidden and be on standby.]

Elius has no intention of returning to Tianyao Star this time.

After all, it's uncertain when Liang He will be on his next business trip, and he can't possibly get away with it every time.

However... he did not intend to leave alone.

【clear! 】

Even though Elius had not shown up for a long time, the space pirates remained subservient to him and dared not have any disloyal thoughts.

They carried out their leader's orders to the end and executed them resolutely.

Because they knew very well that the space pirates were able to maintain their current status entirely because of Elius.

[Chief, I have something to report to you. Nick of the rebels seems interested in cooperating with us.]

Perhaps it was the appearance of Yin Ling and Yin Qi that gave Commander Nick a strong sense of crisis.

He is now trying every means to form alliances in hopes of countering the numerous forces led by the Federation.

Let's not rush this matter; let's wait and see.

Elius wasn't in a hurry to reply to Nick. Now that they needed his help, he naturally had to maintain a certain air of authority to facilitate the negotiations.

However, sending out some signals appropriately is also a good option, understand?

【clear! 】

To put it bluntly, the idea is to keep Nick hanging on, neither agreeing nor refusing. Nick will then gradually make concessions to gain their agreement, demonstrating the rebels' sincerity, which will be more conducive to cooperative negotiations.

Liang He, unaware that a space pirate leader was hiding in her room, finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the antidote in the baby orca was working and slowly detoxifying it.

"Now I can rest assured and give the orca mother a satisfactory explanation."

Although the plan to have orcas help explore the strange sea area was ultimately terminated, Liang He believes that these are two separate matters.

Even if the orca can't help her, she hopes to heal the baby orca so that it can return to its mother's embrace healthy and grow up smoothly.

"Ms. Liang He, the pills you brought are amazing. I wonder if we could buy some from you?"

The veterinarian, who had never encountered this situation before, was now thinking of buying some antidote from Liang He, just in case.

However, Liang He had only asked Lan Zhuo to take the blame in order to cover up the pills she brought, so of course she wouldn't easily expose herself.

"Dr. Lan and Dr. Xu have applied to the Animal Research Institute to develop an antidote pill. Once the trials are passed, it should be available for purchase through official channels, or even specially provided to protected areas."

Liang He wasn't bluffing; it was true, so she wasn't worried at all.

Her words did indeed reassure the veterinarian a lot. Since the higher-ups had already started making arrangements, he naturally didn't need to worry too much.

"Liang He!"

Just as the veterinarian was about to ask Liang He a few more questions, Rick suddenly appeared and interrupted him.

"Deputy District Chief Goring and Aura are looking for you; they're waiting in the lounge!"

After eating Liang He's pork rib noodles, everyone seemed to get along better, and the slight barriers between them disappeared completely.

Liang He, who had originally thought they would not look for her again, was surprised to hear Li Ke's words, but did not refuse.

"Okay, I'll come right away."

When Liang He and Li Ke arrived at the lounge, as soon as they opened the door, she saw a whiteboard covered with writing, detailing their plan to explore the strange sea area.

It seems they really intend to go into the sea themselves to explore the strange waters, and they're doing so with diving equipment.

"Liang He, you're here! Please have a seat!"

Leila warmly greeted Liang He, and only after she was seated did she begin to show everyone the plan she had discussed with Goring and Oko.

"Before we ate, we specifically discussed how to explore the strange sea area while ensuring safety."

No matter how powerful they are, they are still mortals, and of course they want to ensure their safety as much as possible, avoiding death if possible.

Don't tell me that the Federation Army should be willing to sacrifice their lives; Layla certainly wouldn't do that.

Of course, if it were on the battlefield, she would definitely charge forward without hesitation, even if it meant dying, she would drag the enemy down with her!
"Based on the experience last time, I was thinking, could we consider tying a rope around our waists so that if we encounter danger, the naval vessel can pull us back?"

According to the orca mother, she did not feel any thrust at the time.

Therefore, the creatures that pushed the submarine carrying Lyra and the others inside might not dare to approach humans directly.

"Actually, I just suddenly thought of a question."

Rick cautiously raised his hand, afraid of saying the wrong thing and getting criticized by Chairman Lucas again.

"Please say."

To refine the plan, Leila would certainly like everyone to speak freely and express their opinions.

Rick was able to offer ideas, and she was happy to listen.

"Is it possible that the mother orca didn't feel any thrust because she is quite heavy?"

An adult orca weighs between three and six tons, and even if a female orca is only half the size of a male, it should not be underestimated.

So it's not that those creatures didn't want to push it, but that they simply couldn't move it.
