Interstellar Super Planter

Chapter 1125 Continuing the Mission
Bai Qian said coldly, "Isn't this fun? This is just the lowest level of punishment. If you disobey orders again, I will personally throw you into the insect nest to feed the insects."

He glanced around at the shocked crowd and said, "Stop staring! Hurry up and finish the mission. This is our first mission. Anyone who tries to slack off will be dealt with. Cherish your lives! So many people want to live but don't even have the chance."

Apart from a few terrified space pirates, the others scattered and quickly formed teams to carry out the rescue mission.

Bai Qian did not stand idly by. She was in charge of clearing away the heavy, collapsed buildings. The space pirates went in to carry people out. Some of the survivors were conscious and would even thank the space pirates with tears in their eyes.

The space pirates, who were used to burning, killing, looting, and committing all sorts of evil deeds, felt strange being thanked for the first time. They all had blank expressions and didn't know what to say.

Su Qing rescued people in another direction, and together with the mercenaries and mecha pilots among the space pirates, they easily searched the entire city. They found almost all the survivors, and the bodies they found were properly collected and taken back to the military to be handed over to their families.

When Bai Qian crushed a space pirate to death and took her people into the sky, Su Qing, who was far away, only glanced at her and was not angry because Bai Qian had killed someone.

Bai Qian did the right thing. If she didn't kill that person, the space pirates would be convinced that they wouldn't be killed even if they caused trouble, making it much harder to suppress them later.

Even though the leaders of the hundreds of thousands of space pirates have all been killed, the group is still a complex mix. If they are not properly intimidated, they could cause a major upheaval. Killing them all would be easy, but it would be a waste. Right now is the time when we need manpower.

Su Qing tacitly approved of Bai Qian's actions, but as the space pirates fell, she glanced up at the military warships in space.

Inside the warship's cockpit, a screen displayed a conflict between space pirates and Leng Ye's mercenaries.

Although the surveillance cameras couldn't capture clear audio, Lin Yuyang could guess that the space pirates' nature was hard to change, and they had started disobeying orders again.

Space pirates are a bunch of scum with a narrow vision. They're fine with killing insectoids, but when it comes to rescuing people, they shirk their responsibilities and only want to plunder resources.

A stunningly beautiful woman suddenly appeared, instantly killing a space pirate, and then led a dozen or so people into the sky, as if to execute them.

Lin Yuyang felt a sense of satisfaction, thinking that the woman was decisive and ruthless. As a soldier, he hated space pirates the most, and it would be good if all the space pirates were dead.

Lin Yuyang didn't know the specific details of everyone in the Cold Night Mercenary Group; he only had information on Ye Zhi Qiu and the mercenaries.
He didn't care about the past of the hundreds of thousands of space pirates, since they wouldn't live much longer anyway.

Lin Yuyang had no specific information about the people on the Violet, mainly because his rank was not high enough.

All he knew was that the owner of the Violet had hired the Cold Night Mercenary Group to wipe out space pirates, destroy numerous pirate hideouts, and rescue many ordinary citizens of the Empire.

The mysterious mercenary did not kill all the space pirates; instead, he gathered these vicious pirates together and took them to the Zerg battlefield.

The military's decision to allow a fleet of space pirates to enter the battlefield must have had a special reason, which Lin Yuyang had no idea about.

A search of publicly available military information revealed that the Cold Night Mercenary Group participated in several battles. Although they were not the main force, they still made contributions, indicating that the person in charge of these space pirates was very strong and could keep hundreds of thousands of space pirates in line with orders and prevent them from causing trouble on the battlefield.

The woman just killed the space pirates and suppressed the ringleader, but that was only because she submitted under the threat of death. If she wants to make hundreds of thousands of space pirates obey, she will need to use other methods.
Otherwise, the threat of death alone wouldn't be enough to deter these villains. Space pirates who are used to robbing and killing don't have much fear of death. The fact that not a single warship has escaped for so long means that the owner of the Violet must have something else that is terrifying, not just strong cultivation.

He didn't believe that the space pirates were something Ye Zhi Qiu of Leng Ye could control. The space pirates had been utterly rude to the mercenaries, only starting to beg for mercy in fear after the woman appeared. Later, the woman led a dozen or so people into the sky, and he genuinely thought they were going to kill the space pirates, but it turned out to be just a threat.
Soldiers who disobey orders will be dealt with according to military law, ranging from solitary confinement to direct execution. If his own soldiers disobey orders at a critical moment in the course of a mission, he will deal with them directly.

But human life is of utmost importance right now, and every living person is a force in the fight against the Zerg. So the woman only gave them a lenient punishment; those space pirates were lucky to have been caught in such a chaotic world.

Lin Yuyang kept his eyes fixed on the screen. Since entering the war zone, he had been on edge. He had also encountered the Zerg, but fortunately, their numbers were small and they were all eliminated.

He was severely lacking in troops and was waiting for these mercenaries to be trained so they could be of great use. Who knows when the Zerg might make a comeback? If the hundreds of thousands of space pirates could obey orders and fight the Zerg, they could save countless lives.

What drew Lin Yuyang's attention more was Bai Qian. Someone who could fly must have a cultivation level that surpassed that of a Saint. On the surface, the highest cultivation level in the Empire was that of a Saint, but those with slightly higher status knew that there were even higher levels above Saints, though they were not publicly acknowledged.

No wonder these space pirates were so obedient; the woman's cultivation was already at the top level of humanity, so dealing with these space pirates was just a matter of waving her hand.

Sure enough, he saw the woman wave her hand and move the collapsed rubble to rescue the people trapped underneath.

Lin Yuyang was only focused on Bai Qian and missed the scene of Su Qing saving people.

He was in charge of this mission. Unlike a general manager who only oversees one region, he managed all the mercenaries on missions across the entire planet, numbering in the hundreds of thousands. The Cold Night Mercenary Group was the largest in terms of numbers.

As time went on, the Zerg on the planet were basically wiped out, with at most a small number escaping. Except for the queen, none of the Zerg were capable of reproduction, so they did not pose a threat to humans for the time being, and it was no longer a waste of manpower to search for them.

Everyone who could be saved has been rescued, and the bodies will be properly disposed of and brought back. What remains are all kinds of energy equipment, which will be dismantled and transported away. Fortunately, this planet is a plantation planet with few cities. The main problem is that all the large-scale equipment from the spaceport needs to be transported away, as that is the most valuable part.

All the ripe vegetables, grains, and fruits in the fields were also harvested.

All the spoils will be split 50/50 between the mercenaries and the military. Mercenaries can sell any excess energy to the military.

The premise is that all large and valuable equipment and weapons belonging to the government must be handed over, and only then will the remaining supplies found by the mercenaries be divided 50/50.

This is what draws the Empire's private armies into the battlefield. Without extremely high profits, who would dare to fight the Zerg? Making money on the battlefield is too easy; as long as you don't die, you can earn enough for a lifetime's expenses by completing a few missions.

Hundreds of thousands of people across the planet are working tirelessly to move all available resources as quickly as possible.

Once a transport ship is fully loaded, it immediately returns to port. This section of the route is temporarily safe. Lin Yuyang keeps a close eye on the information from the front lines and will evacuate immediately if any situation arises.

Every mercenary was racing against time; none of them caused trouble like those space pirates.

With the rescue mission completed, Ye Zhi Qiu announced that everyone could freely search for supplies. Individuals could keep 40%, give 50% to the military, and mercenary groups would have 10% deducted as expenses to maintain the fleet. This arrangement applied to all mercenary groups.

Everyone loved carrying out this order. The space pirates, who couldn't wait any longer, began searching everywhere, robbing and looting. They were professionals.

Mercenaries are no match for space pirates. Fortunately, the city is big enough that Bai Qian can keep the space pirates in check. They didn't abandon the mercenary captain and his companions. When they found supplies, they didn't dare to keep them to themselves and even shared some with Leng Ye's mercenaries.
