Collapse Iron: As the Balance Envoy, I've joined the chat group

"Himeko... Sister, help me~"

At that moment, March 7's cries for help came from the passageway leading from other sections to the main control section.

Ji Zi and Zhong Heng turned their heads and saw that March 7, Dan Heng, Xing, and Alan from the Defense Department were being surrounded by a group of Void Soldiers and Tramplers from the Antimatter Legion.

"If you can't beat them, you resort to ganging up...aren't you a sore loser?"

Little March, holding the ice bow, took two steps back, but her gaze pierced through the group of antimatter legion soldiers in front of her and looked towards Himeko.

"I'm sorry, I've made you laugh at me, senior."

Seeing that March 7th was still as reckless as ever, Himeko shook her head and smiled helplessly.

He then released a drone from his briefcase, which quickly rescued the group from the encirclement of the illusory soldiers.

Seeing this, Dan Heng quickly said, "Let's go!" He stayed behind the group to prevent the remaining flanks from advancing again.

Fighting and retreating, they finally managed to return to the main control module and reunite with Himeko.

"It always turns out so dangerous, but it's good that you're back~"

After putting the drone back into her suitcase, Himeko calmly stood up and carefully checked everyone over. Only after finding that no one was injured did she breathe a sigh of relief.

"Little March, Danheng, thank you for your hard work."

Little March had just caught her breath when she saw Himeko, the train's navigator who was like a parent to her, and couldn't help but whine, "Ah~ Himeko, you should have come sooner!"

"That last group of antimatter soldiers was like locusts; we were using bows, it was so difficult to fight them!"

Himeko chuckled: "Arriving early is no use~ My orbital cannon can wipe out a whole bunch, but if Lady Black Tower sees the space station in that state, she'll definitely come after us."

Then she looked at Alan: "Are you alright, Alan? Estella was very worried about you."

Alan nodded upon hearing this: "Ah, I'm fine, a bandage will do the trick."

"Thank you. I'll go report to Station Master Estáe now. Goodbye." With that, she turned and left.

Himeko turned her gaze to Hoshi, who had returned with San Yueqi and Dan Heng, and realized: this must be the new companion that Zhong Heng had mentioned earlier.

"Hi, nice to meet you. I'm Himeko, the navigator of the Starry Sky Train."

Fearing that Xing might not understand, Xiao Sanyue explained from the side: "In other words, the train's movements are entirely at her discretion."

"Has Little Three Months caused you any trouble along the way?" Himeko just smiled and didn't offer any further explanation.

"Emmm... Xing, think it over before you answer!" Little March leaned closer to Xing with her hands on her hips and "threatened" her in a soft, sweet tone.

"Uh..." Xing scratched his head, and finally, following the prompts on the panel, chose a more tactful way of putting it: "I've never seen such a lively girl."

Little March, however, seemed to have received praise, her eyes crinkling with a smile: "Hey~ We're young people! We should be energetic and forge ahead!"

"She has a good eye, doesn't she, Danheng!"

Dan Heng crossed his arms and glanced sideways at San Yueqi, recalling his experiences along the way: "I have the right to remain silent."

Even though it wasn't the first time she'd seen something like this, Himeko was still amused by their interaction: "Haha~ Young people just get along so easily. It seems you're already quite familiar with each other."

"Let's go, Estella is worried about you."

"Senior Zhongheng, would you like to travel with us?"

Only after Himeko reminded them did the three little ones seem to notice Zhong Heng leaning against the bulkhead.

March 7's eyes lit up. Back when they first arrived at the Black Tower Space Station, they had heard the seniors on the train, Himeko and Uncle Yang, talk about some of this senior's deeds.

At this moment, they were not afraid of strangers at all, and acted as if they were old friends. They went up to Zhong Heng and surrounded him, chattering about his past pioneering experiences.

Dan Heng also turned his gaze to Zhong Heng.

As the train's guard and think tank administrator, no one knows better than him how serious the loss of records in the Starry Sky Train's think tank is now.

I really wanted to go up and ask, but I felt that we weren't familiar with each other yet, and I didn't have the strong social skills of someone like March 7th, so I hesitated and didn't ask directly.

But they were also listening intently, intending to hear what questions March 7 had gotten out.

Xing tilted her head and looked at Zhong Heng, feeling that the person in front of her was inexplicably familiar, but she didn't know where she had seen him before.

"My little secretary is with Estádio right now, so let's go together." Zhong Heng nodded and replied to Himeko first, then looked at Xiao Sanyue who was surrounding him. He didn't find her annoying at all, but thought she was indeed quite lively and cute.

"Miss March 7th, how about I tell you all about my pioneering deeds after you've finished your work and returned to the train?"

"Just now, your navigator, Ms. Himeko, invited me once. Since I have nothing else to do, I thought it would be nice to get on the train again."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Sanyue's eyes lit up, and Dan Heng behind her also smiled slightly: "Really? That's wonderful."

"The projection radar tracking is normal, but the telemetry signal frequency is too high! It must be maintained at the average level."

"According to predictions, the Legion is about to launch more than ten waves of continuous attacks. Hold on, everyone!"

Amidst their laughter and conversation, the group found Estádio and Fagana, who were still directing the operations of their respective departments.

"Stationmaster Estella, we're back!" Little March said, taking advantage of a break from Estella's busy schedule.

"Divine Child!" Fagana, who was standing next to Estella, nodded to Zhong Heng as he approached and slowly walked behind him.

"Fagana, send a message to the Cosmic Court to prepare for the arrival of all parties. The time is the same as before, set for a week from now."

"Yes, Divine Child!" Fagana nodded upon hearing this, then stepped aside and buried herself in her communicator to send a message back to her colleagues at the Cosmic Court.

"Phew... I'm so glad you're back safe and sound. Alan just came by and told me about the containment module and his injuries... Thanks to your help."

"By the way, I would also like to thank Your Excellency the High Inquisitor. Miss Fagana helped me a lot just now, and I learned a lot from her."

When Estella turned around and saw that the people who came were the train crew and Zhong Heng, she visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

He then thanked everyone again.

Zhong Heng waved his hand: "No need to be so polite. With my friendship with Ms. Black Tower, this is nothing."

"Furthermore, Lady Black Tower herself is currently inside the space station, and her decision not to act immediately suggests she has her own considerations. Perhaps it's also a test for your student, Miss Estella?"

"Personally speaking, Miss Estádio has performed quite well so far!"

"Huh! Does the teacher... really think that way?"

"Your Excellency is too kind. This experience clearly shows that I still have many shortcomings. If it weren't for Miss Fagana's assistance, things wouldn't have been so easy."

After hearing Zhong Heng's words, Aista's eyes widened, and she visibly became somewhat nervous.

However, after hearing Zhongheng's praise, he couldn't help but feel a little pleased, but he didn't show it on his face. He just relaxed a lot.
