Qianyuan: My crew comes from the world of anime.

Such unequal treatment will naturally provoke dissatisfaction among some people.

Beneath this discontent lies an even more terrifying secret...

"Are you crazy?!"

"What if it ruins our plans?!"

A man dressed in tattered clothes threw the hunched-over medicine dealer against the bulkhead of the old residential area.

"But...but!" the drug dealer hurriedly explained, "That guy cheated us out of our money before, otherwise we wouldn't be here anymore!"

"Enough with the nonsense!"

The man in the tattered engineer's clothes slapped the drug dealer across the face.

"Nothing is more important than the mission! Our noble mission is to liberate the people here from the Alliance's brutal rule. We are now one step away from success, and we cannot allow any accidents to happen!"

The drug dealer lost several teeth in the slap, and he covered his swollen face without uttering a sound.

These guys are all like they've been injected with adrenaline, with some kind of drug completely altering their emotions, making them more irritable and prone to crazy behavior than normal people.

Sometimes, drug dealers feel that these people are not even as good as the Alliance.

"Hey, he's not dead, is he?" the ragtag engineer asked as he stepped forward.

"Don't waste the effort I put into saving your life today. Go and notify the others—we'll start our operation at midnight tonight, using the bombs we pre-planted in the new residential area to force the highest-ranking officer of Red Star Station to compromise."

"They have no choice! From now on, this will be our 'Jupiter Separatism' base!"

Chapter 43 Action

Upon arriving at the Red Star Station office, Major Soloviev's usual gloomy expression vanished. He laughed heartily and put his arm around Luo Tianming's shoulder, saying:

"Haha~~ Lieutenant, what brings you here? When I heard you approaching Red Star Station on the control tower, I thought I was hallucinating."

"I've heard about your deeds. I heard Colonel Ivan thinks highly of you? What made you decide to return to Red Star Station..."

Luo Tianming said cautiously:

"Major, you should have heard about this from the Alliance. They're planning to develop the ruins into a research station."

“Yes,” Major Soloviev sighed, “that’s why they suddenly wanted me to train a large number of divers, and they crammed about two hundred of them into my system.”

"Lieutenant Luo, you know how difficult it is to train a diver these days. It's really not a good job... Never mind, let's not talk about this."

Afterwards, he chatted with Luo Tianming as if catching up with old friends, from when he left to the alliance's increased attention to Red Star Station, and recently many new people have come to Red Star Station.

As they chatted, Luo Tianming brought up 'that incident'—the one where he swindled money from the drug dealers, but they didn't cause trouble this time.

"..."

The major took a deep breath, then said earnestly:

“Lieutenant Luo… Our Europa Alliance doesn’t have very high standards for the ‘morality’ of submarine captains. You just need to be loyal to the Alliance.”

Luo Tianming: "..."

The major assumed Luo Tianming was there to "repent," and thus chose to protect him, acting as if nothing had happened.

He hurriedly explained, "Major, no—you're looking in the wrong direction. The key point is that those people saw that I didn't cause any trouble!"

"If you were swindled out of money, and that person appeared in front of you again, what would the major choose to do?"

Major: "...Yeah, I'll beat him to a pulp."

Luo Tianming: "That's right, and besides, I'm the one in the wrong, so he has every right to pick a fight with me!"

"..."

At this point, Soloviev realized what was happening: "What you're saying is indeed strange. If they have the upper hand, why don't they come to me to report it?"

"unless……"

Luo Tianming: "Unless there's a bigger conspiracy involved, where do those drug dealers live?"

"I suggest we take action tonight, raid them, arrest them, and interrogate them."

"Well..." The major looked troubled. "But what excuse can we use?"

Luo Tianming revealed a sinister smile: "That's easy. Just say they plotted a rebellion, and arrest anyone who resists. Anyway, I have evidence that they tried to escape to the separatist site on Jupiter, so I can convict them sooner or later."

"I've told my crew to get ready and move out as soon as possible."

At 10 p.m.—for those living beneath the ice of Europa, the distinction between day and night has long since faded.

Aside from setting a time when lights out is turned off to prevent changes in one's biological clock, few people usually pay attention to the time.

But both groups tonight were watching the time with tension and anxiety.

The residents of the old residential area looked at the plan that was to be carried out in two hours.

Meanwhile, the Alliance soldiers outside had already assembled.

Major Soloviev, seeing the clock strike 22:30, immediately gave the order:

"Move out! Arrest anyone inside who refuses to cooperate with the inspection!"

"...!"

Soldiers carrying riot shields rushed into the old residential area one by one.

However, they were soon surprised:

I thought everyone here would be sleeping in the corners of the floor, but tonight not a single person is asleep.

The Alliance soldiers ran right into the Jupiter separatists who were preparing to riot, almost at the corner of the corridor.

Soldier: "What are you all doing in the middle of the night instead of sleeping! Don't move! All of you, put your hands up!"

At this unexpected moment, someone shouted, "The plan has been exposed! Fight the Alliance!!"

"—!"

In an instant, chaos erupted between those inside and those outside.

In the chaos, several explosive devices were thrown from the old residential area.

boom--!

The explosion had an unimaginable effect in the confined space; had the Alliance soldiers not been equipped with riot shields, the first squad sent out would have been wiped out.

Then, on the rebel side... a burst of intense and rapid gunfire swept towards the Allied soldiers.

Caught off guard, the soldiers, armed only with riot shields and batons, were driven back in disarray.

"..."

Soloviev, who was directing operations from outside, turned pale the moment he heard the explosion.

The subsequent rifle shot made him so regretful he almost ground his teeth to powder.

Major: "They're not even afraid of police batons! These people aren't civilians, they're thugs!!"

He could only pin his hopes on Luo Tianming, who was standing nearby, and said to him:

"Lieutenant, when can your men be deployed?"

Luo Tianming smiled smugly: "Anytime is fine, right, Levi?"

He looked at his companion with the dark red ponytail standing to the side.

"...I've been waiting for this!"

Levi revealed a bloodthirsty smile, then rushed out with a cigarette dangling from her lips.

"Come on! Come on! Insects, your Lady Revy has arrived!"

For a moment, those around her couldn't even see how the two long-sliding Beretta/92 rifles were transferred from their holsters into her hands.

The two guns then roared with astonishing volume. The 9mm bullets fired by the modified long-barreled pistols had both the powerful stopping force of pistol bullets and the speed of rifle bullets.

The only downside is that the recoil after this modification is ridiculously strong.

Luo Tianming was once allowed to handle two of Levi's beloved guns, but firing just one bullet nearly destroyed his wrist.

I really don't know how Revy managed to control this thing with her monstrous wrist strength.

"..."

Bang bang—!

Two shots rang out, and even in the darkness, Levi's aim was impeccable, hitting the two men wielding rifles with precise headshots.

"Hey, don't stop! Pick up your gun and fight back!"

The rebels' firepower was momentarily in a vacuum, but no one dared to pick up a gun.

Everyone knows that picking up a gun right now would get you shot in the head by her; she's like a demon... Her almond-shaped eyes are deadly to anyone she looks at, and the provocative tattoo on her right shoulder highlights her personality.

Wearing jeans cut like hot pants, boldly revealing his legs that could be described as works of art—all of this was the 'private property' of the captain of the Nautilus submarine.

The drug dealer wished he could bury himself in a crack in the ground; he knew that bastard would never give up once he saw him.

The beast that was released now was the one he sent to take his life.

"..."

The Alliance soldiers following behind Revy were astonished to discover that Revy was like a precise killing machine; wherever she went, gunshots rang out and people died, with blood and brains splattering into flowers of death.

"What's wrong! Why did it go silent?! Come on... you bastards, I'll send you all to heaven one by one!"

"..."

Levi's provocative voice echoed down the corridor, but no one dared to answer.

Her dual pistol slides were stained with blood, and within minutes, more than a dozen corpses lay on the ground... She stepped over the pools of blood with an air of dominance, raising her guns to aim at the rebels lying on the ground.

No one dared to look up at her... At this moment, nothing could compare to the intimidating presence of the name Revy.

At the command post, the major gestured to Luo Tianming: "You released this monster. Quickly put shackles on her and stop her from biting people randomly."

Luo Tianming: "..."

Just when everyone thought things were calm, a man dressed in tattered engineer's clothes suddenly stood up and roared:

"Don't move!! I have bombs that I planted on the outer wall of the station a long time ago! Anyone who dares to move will be buried with you!"

Major & Luo Tianming: "...!"

Everyone present was startled, and no one dared to make a move.

Levi, annoyed, aimed the gun at his head.

That guy, however, said fanatically:

"Everyone, lay down your weapons—I demand that this station broadcast this message immediately, informing everyone that this place has now been taken over by 'Jupiter Separatism'."

"If you don't do as I say, I'll detonate the bomb and we'll all die!!"

Major: "You're dreaming...! That's impossible! You're already cornered, give up the fight now!"

The engineer raised his right hand, on which was a simple button device.

He arrogantly declared, "Either become part of Jupiter's separatism, or we all perish at sea. It's impossible for everyone to escape to a submarine. Now—you have ten seconds to make your choice!"

"Ten, nine, eight..."

"..."

As he began the countdown, the entire alliance's forces descended into chaos.

Even Major Soloviev was sweating – the entire Red Star Station was estimated to have nine hundred people, and if the bomb detonated and the seawater flooded in, less than one-tenth of them would survive.

At this crucial moment, Luo Tianming looked at Lucy behind him: "Lucy, can you do it?"

Lucy nodded: "I'll give it a try..."

Her pupils turned red in an instant as her cybernetic body rapidly analyzed the control system in his hand.

"Analyzing... radio frequency signal, matching in progress... analysis complete, hacking successful, signal neutralization process!"

"All done, Captain!"

She excitedly said to Luo Tianming.

At this point—the rebel leader hadn't even counted down to 'four' yet.

Luo Tianming immediately roared, "Arrest that guy! Capture him alive! We want him alive, Levi!"
