Star Hunter.

Chapter 113 My Name is Xilin

Diaz lay in the hospital bed, still connected to many medical instruments, but his spirits had improved considerably. Asia left after Diaz woke up, leaving only Sugar Ball and Kari by his side.

Sugar Ball pouted and remained silent. Diaz had finally woken up, and Yudi and Beaver were out of danger, but Sirin was nowhere to be found. What frustrated her most was that neither Kari nor Diaz would tell her where Sirin was. Sugar Ball was young, but she understood many things.

Diaz sighed, "Qiuqiu, Xilin has just gone on a mission. He'll be back in a few days. Don't worry."

Sugar Ball kept her head down. "You said that when people tell the truth, they look the other person in the eye, but Kari and the others don't dare to look me in the eye when they talk."

Kari turned his head away, not wanting Diaz and Sugarball to see the look in his eyes. Kari regretted it deeply; while they were all grieving and indignant with the wounded, Xilin had silently taken on that heavy burden.

Tang Qiuqiu lowered her head, fidgeting with her fingers, and continued to ask in a low voice, "He's not coming back, is he?"

"Silin is so strong, he's unharmed after being shot by you, he'll definitely come back," Diaz said, trying to make his tone as certain as possible.

Tang Qiuqiu didn't look up, but tears fell drop by drop onto her fingers.

"Qiuqiu, come here," Diaz raised his only remaining arm and wiped away Tang Qiuqiu's tears. "It's okay, you'll be fine after a good night's sleep. Everyone will be back when you wake up."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Qiuqiu knelt down beside Diaz's hospital bed. Diaz had a miniature syringe in his hand, which he had used to inject a sleeping drug into Tang Qiuqiu's neck while wiping away her tears.

"Kari, take her to rest."

"Vice-captain, Xilin, he..."

"It's alright, that guy Xilin is much more capable than you think."

Meanwhile, on the transport plane, Xilin sat in the only chair in the cockpit, his eyes closed, as if he were asleep.

Xilin didn't need to do anything with the transport plane's navigation; everything was pre-programmed. The system contained a hidden coordinate map. Due to time constraints, the technicians hadn't been able to safely obtain the hidden star map coordinates. Therefore, the Sixth Team didn't know where the transport plane was going, and they didn't dare to follow it rashly.

Sector Z is an undeveloped area. Apart from the outermost area, there are no long-range signal relays in Sector Z, and signal connections are inconvenient. However, this may not be a bad thing for "Venom".

Xilin knew that his every move was being recorded by surveillance cameras. He sent these recorded images to the "Fang" team so that they could better understand the person who came. The "Fang" team members were not afraid of death, but they were not idiots either. They knew the importance of knowing yourself and your enemy, as well as the principle of being caught off guard.

When the countdown timer showed only one hour left, Xilin saw a reddish planet through the display window. Most notably, a huge skull was visible from space on the planet, outlined in a mix of deep and light red. It seemed that the "Venom" team had put a lot of effort into this planet.

In addition, the location of this planet should be relatively hidden, and it should not be known to outsiders, or those who know it are already dead.

In truth, this is the real stronghold of "Venom," while the V sector is merely their hunting ground and a place to recruit new members. No wonder they can act with impunity in the V sector; they simply don't care about any planet there. Destroying one planet or a hundred is just a number to them. As long as this planet hidden in the Z sector remains unknown, they are still safe.

At the same time, Xilin knew that "Venom" had no intention of letting the thirty-odd prisoners live, nor of Xilin himself, who was sitting in the transport plane. "Venom" didn't believe in promises, only in the dead. However, Xilin had already guessed that Xiaodun and the others should also know that "Venom" had no intention of letting the prisoners go, but even if there was only a one in a thousand chance, Xiaodun would still transport those energy ores over.

Three aircraft and more than ten fighter jets flew over. Someone among them should be able to control the transport plane, because Xilin noticed that the transport plane's speed had decreased.

After the aircraft docked with the transport plane, several people walked out from the connecting passage. The leader was a burly man who was two meters tall with thick hair tied into a braid. Upon seeing Xilin, the man chuckled and said, "The Vanguard Sixth Squadron actually sent a greenhorn like this. Could it be that everyone in the Sixth Squadron is dead?"

  

Knowing full well that a firefight had recently taken place and that the Sixth Team had suffered heavy casualties, the deliberate statement was merely a test, intended to gauge Xilin's character based on his reaction. Xilin also believed that his information was being watched by someone on the planet.

Xilin stood up and spread his arms to indicate that he was unarmed. Of course, the transport plane was equipped with detection and scanning devices, which these people should have known all along.

A person with the long braid came up behind him, nodded, and indicated that everything that needed to be moved had been moved out and there were no abnormalities on the transport plane.

Xilin handed over the contract, but the woman with the long braid took it, threw it at the ground without even looking at it, and stomped on it twice. Xilin frowned and looked at the woman with the long braid.

The man with the long braid and his men laughed arrogantly. With a flick of his wrist, a gun barrel was pressed against Xilin's head.

"Kid, your mission is complete. If you have anything else to say, hurry up and say it, or you'll regret it later."

Big Braid enjoyed watching famous hunter groups, military figures, or members of large family merchant groups beg for mercy under his gun, and their desperate eyes; all of this excited him.

But to Big Braid's surprise, Xilin still frowned, looked at him, and said calmly, "I thought you would ask why the Vanguard Sixth Squadron sent me here."

"Hmm? Interesting." The man with the long braid chuckled, patted Xilin's head with the gun barrel, then pressed it against Xilin's face. "So tell me, why?"

My name is Xilin.

"I don't care if you're called Xilin or Donglin..." The man with the long braid was just about to give Xilin a good stab with his gun when his communicator suddenly rang.

Looking at the information displayed on the communicator in his hand, the man with the long braid narrowed his eyes, removed the gun barrel from Xilin's face, and turned to the person next to him, saying, "Take this kid away, the King wants to see him."

Xilin was taken to a spacecraft. The energy ore on the original transport plane had been removed. After the spacecraft had flown a certain distance, the man with the long braid pressed a button in his hand.

boom--

That transport plane has become debris floating in space. If there were any signal devices or people hidden on board that weren't discovered by the "Fang" people, they would now be back in space as well.
