***********

......

Having obtained the Alliance Director's terminal authorization code and identity code, the lady went down to the basement alone when the Alliance Director and Ferdinand were both out and no one was around.

The basement was very spacious and open, filled with the unique rocky smell of the island and the salty astringency of the sea.

The door closed, and the basement fell silent.

This is deep within the Blackwater Planet, beneath the rock layers.

Beyond the seemingly endless layers of rock, the waves crash and roar ceaselessly. The thick rock layer and the sound of the waves unexpectedly form a natural, muffled sound curtain that can mask their noise.

No one lives in the reception area regularly, and the basement is empty, with no common clutter or furniture, just a completely empty room that is dark and cold.

The lady stood in the basement, and you could see white mist with her breath.

She rubbed her arms, raised her wrist, rolled up her sleeves, revealing the personal terminal dialing page on her wrist.

The call was made, and a small, pale blue waiting light appeared in the center of the screen and began to rotate.

The signal is connected and projected to the distant Earth.

The Crown Prince's spaceship had a human signal base station on it. While he was stuck outside the planetary barrier of Blackwater Star, the human signal was accidentally received on Blackwater Star as well.

Orion did not block human signals, something he had never expected. He mainly did not expect that there would be anyone on his Blackwater Star who would contact humans.

Who would have thought of that?

This is truly eye-opening. Who would have thought that someone would contact ants while two elephants are fighting?

The pale blue light stabilized and stopped spinning.

The call interface appears on the screen: [Target signal source - Human Federation Military Headquarters - Commander-in-Chief Qi - Connected].

......

Commander-in-Chief Qi received a message from his wife at the Human Federation Military Headquarters.

They were having a meeting in the military headquarters conference room. The high-ranking officers, whose epaulets shone with stars, were either standing or sitting, discussing intensely around the central command post when suddenly General Qi received a notification that he had received an unknown communication.

President Qi answered the call. The bigwigs saw his wife's image projected onto the screen.

The electronic pen that a commander was spinning in his hand fell to the command platform with a "thud," and the people in front of the command platform also stopped what they were doing and looked up in surprise.

The entire hall fell into a deathly silence.

They recognized this omega; after all, she was the wife of the Alliance Director, and they had all met her at work.

She might be in a secret underground room, surrounded by black stone walls with no windows.

The lady remained gentle and beautiful. She spoke softly, "Commander-in-Chief Qi, greetings. I am currently on Blackwater, deep within Orion's lair. Time is of the essence, please listen quietly until I finish speaking."

Mr. Qi said, "Please wait a moment."

Then he projected his wife's image onto the large screen in the middle of the conference room.

The perspective shifts, and the lady sees that Commander-in-Chief Qi is actually in the conference room, where there are so many other commanders.

She greeted the commanders in a generous manner.

The commanders responded awkwardly, unsure how to respond or how to treat the lady.

To put it nicely, she was the wife of the Alliance Director who defected.

If you adopt a bad attitude, she doesn't seem like someone who's going to betray her country.

The lady didn't care about their attitude.

She directly gave the military the Alliance Director's authorization code and identity code, and then calmly explained how she had asked the Alliance Director for the authorization code under the pretext of delivering flowers.

If he can get past the pirates' checks using his identification code, he can pass the checkpoints Orion has set up on the Blackwater Star defense line.

She looked at the solemn and attentive generals on the screen.

She didn't know if the military had a solution, but having this much would always be better, right?

She didn't tell the military leaders about her forbearance or grievances, nor did she try to claim credit or exonerate herself; she simply handed everything over calmly.

They're currently in Orion's lair, and Orion will likely kill them once the military takes action, regardless of its success.

Although she wasn't very politically savvy, she knew which side, the Crown Prince or Orion, would be better for humanity.

The young crown prince, who is stuck outside the barrier of Blackwater Star, probably does need someone to lend a hand.

......

The military leaders, who were initially embarrassed, grew increasingly solemn as they listened quietly to her casual recount what she had done.

She was just an omega who couldn't even kill a chicken.

But this frail omega, in the dark depths of the earth, selflessly used the most extreme means she could to add a crucial piece of fuel to the future of humanity.

Even though lighting this firewood might cost her her life, she accepted it calmly.

The military leaders had nothing else to say.

The conference room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

An elderly commander with gray hair, who was facing the lady, suddenly stood up.

He straightened his slightly hunched back with utmost solemnity, then raised his right hand, fingers together, and gave her a standard military salute.

Then no one spoke. All the soldiers present, regardless of rank, location, or whether the lady on the screen could see them, stood up one after another and gave her a silent salute.

They didn't make any false promises to the lady, and they knew she was in the pirates' lair. If the pirates found her and attacked her, they would most likely be unable to rescue her.

She was willing to become the breakthrough point when she was trapped deep behind enemy lines.

Giving them this authorization code was already a sign of certain death.

I don't know if we can win this battle, but I'm grateful... grateful for everything she has done for humanity.

The lady nodded slightly and said gently to them, "Goodbye."

She awaits the day of victory.

Then she reached out and turned off the communication.

The eerie blue light projected in the military headquarters' main conference room disappeared, and the floating screen went out with a "click."

Lady Blackwater showed no sign of distress. She lifted her skirt, went up the stairs, returned to the upper space, and left the basement.

The high-ranking military officials in the conference room remained motionless, still saluting, staring at the blacked-out screen.

They gritted their teeth, their other hand clenched into a fist.

No one spoke.

This is all because of their incompetence.

It is their dereliction of duty to make the people sacrifice themselves for them.

Commander-in-Chief Qi remained silent for a long time before looking up: "The people have paved the way for us. Her sacrifice was never meant to make us wallow in grief."

"We are federal soldiers. We must cheer up and respond to her sacrifice with success. This is the best way to honor our hero, to ensure that her sacrifice is not in vain, and to do justice to the path she chose to pave for us with her life."
