Starry Sky Railway: No one understands the Amber King better than me.

Near the edge of the ruins, the landing ship slowly descended.

After the group disembarked from the landing ship carrying various equipment, a team of fully armed soldiers was already waiting in front of them.

"You must be from the Interstellar Peace Corporation's rescue team. Welcome! I am the head of the defense force. For your safety, we will be sending a special task force to accompany you throughout the entire process."

This was a middle-aged military officer, not particularly robust. His speech was calm, yet carried an air of unquestionable authority.

Just as one of the company's Marines was about to say something, Vera shook her head slightly to stop him.

The auxiliary device floating behind her quietly activated, and she took the lead in walking towards the ruins.

"Keep up with them."

The male officer's eyes flickered slightly, signaling the group to follow.

His gaze then fell upon the smoke and dust obscuring the sky, his thoughts unreadable.

........

"Before this meeting begins, I would like to clarify one thing."

After sitting down, Smith spoke first, before the host could even speak.

"Regarding the development ownership of the Krim V, the company has completed the transfer from the Market Development Department to the Business Consolidation Department. This matter has been approved at the ministerial level."

In other words, all subsequent agreement development matters shall be led by our department. Does anyone have any objections?

"How dare you boast! Faced with the invasion of interstellar bandits, you failed in your duty to protect them and instead chose to desert. Is this how you practice 'preservation'?"

Bronson sneered at the other party's statement.

"If your special operations group hadn't been causing trouble all over Tver, creating panic and uprisings, how could this remote place like Krim V have been attacked like this? I think you are the source of the chaos!"

Smith immediately retorted.

Before negotiations even began, the two sides of the company were already arguing amongst themselves.

"Alright, let's not make a fool of ourselves in front of these gentlemen."

Yingduo quickly interrupted the argument and then looked at the other side.

Despite the fact that these company people were vying for dominance over the planet right in front of their master, Helian Hai still wore a calm smile.

"There's no need for you all to rush. Why don't you each come up with your cooperation proposals? We can then choose the one that's better."

Helian Hai said with a smile.

........

As the group ventured deeper into the area, the air in front of them gradually became murky.

The acrid smoke and burning smell lingered in the air, making the rescue work extremely difficult even with protective gear.

What is the current progress of your rescue efforts?

Vera asked a guard soldier next to her.

The soldier was initially slightly surprised by the synesthetic beacon technology, but he remained silent when asked about it.

"As you can see, given the current situation, let alone rescue, our first task is to clear a path for people to get in and out."

The middle-aged officer who had just arrived walked over. Through the smoke and dust ahead, one could vaguely see the wreckage of the collapsed building lying across the road, blocking passage.

"We can use the equipment to first detect the best route."

As Vera spoke, she looked at the middle-aged officer beside her.

The latter hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

The equipment box slowly opened, and swarms of small probe aircraft rushed out, flying towards the ruins ahead.

Upon seeing this, a man dressed as an adjutant's expression changed slightly, and he was about to say something when the middle-aged military officer raised his hand and shook his head.

In the sky, local rescue ships occasionally roared past, the swirling air currents briefly dispersing some of the smoke and dust.

At this moment, rescue forces from all over the planet are converging on this place from all directions.

.......

"Since my colleagues in the market development department can't come up with a good plan right now, I'll start from here."

Seeing Bronson and the others remain silent, Smith's lips curled into a slight smile.

His expression immediately shifted to professional negotiation mode, and he gestured for his assistant to present an agreement.

"Regarding the entry of Krim V into the Pan-Galactic Commercial Market and the cooperative development agreement with the company, we have already held several rounds of consultations with your Chairman, Hua Si."

Unfortunately, the negotiations were interrupted in the final stages by those rude fellows. Oh, excuse me for interrupting, Mr. Helian Hai, where is Chairman Hua Si?

"Mr. Hua Si was previously in charge of cooperation negotiations in Space City. Now that Space City has crashed, his whereabouts are unknown."

"Oh, that's really bad news."

A fitting expression of grief appeared on Smith's face.

"On behalf of the company, I would like to express my deepest condolences. He was an outstanding leader."

But he immediately changed the subject.

"But if that's the case, then the results of the previous rounds of negotiations will have to be temporarily scrapped."

However, given the horrific attack you have just suffered, we have prepared a new plan that we believe will better meet your current needs.

"Oh, I'd like to hear more about it?"

"Through this incident, I believe you have come to understand the dangers of the galaxy. Under such circumstances, a civilization that is new to interstellar travel is extremely vulnerable and weak."

But we... as a company dedicated to universal peace, can help you quickly overcome this period of weakness.

As Smith spoke, he projected images and data onto the table in front of him.

"We can provide you with technological and military assistance so that you can quickly acquire the strength to defend yourself."

Regarding talent, the company has a mature training system to help you cultivate a large number of skilled personnel. As for the losses suffered this time, our engineering team can help you rebuild, or even renovate, the entire planet in a very short time.

This is data on the various planets we've explored; you can take a look.

A vast amount of information was presented before them, and everyone on Krim's side silently browsed through it.

Even the tall, ordinary-looking man began to examine it with great interest.

"So, what's the price?"

After a long pause, Helian Hai finally spoke.

"Oh, the price is simple."

A look of excitement flashed in Smith's eyes; in his mind, things were almost done.

"There's not much of a price to pay. All you need to do is join the interstellar market according to the cooperation agreement and use resources and existing currency to exchange for credits as development funds."

Of course, this amount of money is definitely not enough, but don't worry, we can also provide you with a large number of low-interest loans for construction and development.

"So, our entire planet will be working for this company from now on?"

Upon hearing this, a young officer couldn't help but speak up, and the expressions of the others also turned sour.

"How so? Isn't this a win-win situation?"

Smith looked puzzled.

"What are your thoughts on this agreement?"

After a moment of silence, Helian Hai turned his gaze to Bronson and the others.

......

Chapter 92 Showdown

"It's done. This is the best path into the ruins."

After a rapid scan by the flight equipment, a holographic model of the ruins was quickly created.

Vera took out a spare terminal and handed it to the middle-aged officer next to her.

The latter glanced at it quickly, then his eyes lit up.

He stepped aside and quickly issued orders. Soon, more defense soldiers and engineering machinery were mobilized to begin clearing the passage.

"In addition, our equipment has just conducted a simultaneous life detection, and it will mark any signs of life in real time, like this..."

At this moment, a green dot of light is flashing on the model of the ruins, not far from them.

"Someone come here!"

The officer immediately led his men to the target location, with Vera and her group following closely behind.

Soon, the destination was reached.

Unfortunately, what lay before them was the massive ruins of a collapsed building. The small equipment carried by the defense forces was simply insufficient for effective excavation.

"Don't worry."

Seeing the anxious looks on everyone's faces, Vera walked over.

After a few simple operations, the equipment box quickly transformed into a four-legged machine and then moved forward toward the target location.

As a high-energy beam of light shone from it, the solid rock rapidly melted, while the surrounding structure miraculously remained stable. A passage was quickly opened up.

Above the ruins model, the signals of life activity became even stronger.

"Sir, this used to be the Sky Tower. According to the architectural plans, there was an underground shelter designed for refuge."

An engineer quickly checked the information and provided feedback.

"what!"

The officer's face instantly lit up with surprise. He then led his men into the passage ahead, where light shone in, revealing a huge space below.

"To everyone in the company, please give us your full support. We will arrange everything that requires your cooperation!"

“This is exactly what we wanted to do,” Vera nodded.

......

"What are your thoughts on this agreement, everyone in the company's marketing department?"
