Therapy Planet No. 13

Chi Chu felt that he must be crazy to agree to such an endless gamble.

But Liming seems to have a peculiar persuasive ability, which makes her feel that "even if I lose, it is a good choice to work under her."

"..."

Because of this thought that came up at the same time, Chi Chu and Dong Yang took a step back and shook their heads.

This idea is dangerous!

Gotta stop!

I can't think about it anymore!

What if I surrendered to this brat who ate French fries and drank Coke in front of me out of nowhere!

The emotion of resistance was so strong that Dongyang completely forgot her curiosity about the "wedge" in Liming's mouth.

It's the first time I heard that something that can be planted in the spiritual sea doesn't sound like a good thing.

The meeting in Dawn's mouth is coming soon.

The next day, I got up early at dawn and put on the uniform specially customized by the Freedom Alliance.

The dark blue background with silver and white stripes is obviously the unified uniform color of the Star Alliance, but it seems that this color is tailor-made for her when worn on her body.

The background color of navy blue and the fundus of the eyes are as deep as the sea, while the silvery white tone is close to the color of the hair, like stars dotted in the deep sea.

"I suggest you go to the armory to find a suitable set of mechs."

Before leaving with Lucas, Liming told Dongyang this.

"Why?" Dongyang didn't know why.

"If you want, you can ask Jessica to try to contact her friends in Star Worm, and let Hoven get acquainted with the equipment in the maintenance room."

Li Ming didn't answer directly: "Believe me, after a while, everyone will become busy."

The fourth private and unofficial meeting between the federal government and the Freedom Alliance was held in an asteroid belt between the capital star and the outer domain.

The distance is neither close nor far, which is relatively fair for both parties.

In the first three conversations, neither side gave an inch.

Joshua wanted Lucas to temporarily withdraw troops, or even part of the war zone, so that he would have bargaining chips in his hands to negotiate with the neutral parties in the House of Representatives, and try to find a way to cooperate to satisfy both parties.

However, Lucas only agreed to shrink the areas beyond his reach. In this way, the limited troops can be withdrawn to stabilize the base camp, and the threat of the alliance can also be maintained.

He still believes that force is only a means to force policy.

Unless the federal government amends the bill to give the non-human race tangible benefits and directly expand the seats of the non-human race in the House of Representatives, otherwise he will not withdraw troops from the Northeast Star Field.

"I've said it all! To make those guys let go, first you have to give them a taste of the sweetness!"

Joshua stared at Lucas as soon as he entered the door, and didn't even sit down, just saying that.

Rather than saying that this is a "meeting", it is better to say that this is a "club where two people quarrel".

Just the surrounding walls do not know how many quarreling nonsense they have heard.

Lucas didn't know how many times he repeated his answer: "It is my bottom line to withdraw the troops from the central star field."

"Fuck your mother! Just withdraw those soldiers! Your army line in the north has been turned into a pot so quickly, who are you fooling? At least you have to withdraw a gap, otherwise there is no talk!"

"... It's okay to leave a gap for you, but you have to give me a guarantee-the southeast trade road, you open the southeast trade road, implement tax cuts for non-human races, let them go, and if necessary, I can also provide for the garrison Some people."

"You're really good at planning... After the quarrel is over, steal the business road and build a wall on the east side, right? Don't think I don't know your little thoughts."

"..."

The two men fought for a round between sitting down, and this round was the same as the previous three negotiations-nothing worked.

If there is any progress in the first three negotiations, the only progress is that the two sides have more and more differences on some more specific details.

very noisy.

Dawn lazily yawned.

This yawn successfully attracted Joshua's attention.

Although both Joshua and Lucas are rightists advocating peaceful cooperation, they are unfortunately both big and rough.

Joshua was naturally tall and tall, and his appearance once made people think that he was from the military. Few people could associate him with a wealthy businessman.Lucas is naturally weaker in terms of skeleton, but the scar on his face has added a lot of points to him, and it doesn't look like a good stubble.

As for Li Ming, a self-neutral person who is strictly a minor under the laws of any independent planet, it seems too eye-catching to be mixed in with such two burly adult men.

Joshua looked at Li Ming, and the exposed voice was stuck in his throat: "I said... what do you think?"

"Such a negotiation brought a child?"

It seems he doesn't know.

I don't know her identity, nor her past in Sanxingdui.

In other words, Joshua has nothing to do with Babelism.

He is an outsider.

Li Ming lowered his eyes, and the guess in his heart was confirmed again. He raised his head and smiled at Joshua: "I pestered Uncle Tang to come here, Mr. Qiao, don't mind too much."

"Do you think this is a house wine for children?!" Joshua's beard was about to stand up.

Lucas stood up to smooth things over: "Don't react so big... Anyway, she has no effect on us. I can guarantee that her mouth is stricter than yours."

"Humph!"

Joshua suspects that this kid is either Lucas's illegitimate son or a child molested by Lucas at a high price.

After all, Mrs. Searle's beauty is well-known in the universe, and there are many high-ranking officials in the Federation who pay a lot of money just for fun, and some of them stay by their side all the time to show their favor.

There is a thin line between excess of licentiousness and strict etiquette.

Joshua felt that maybe he needed to re-evaluate whether Lucas was worthy of cooperation?

After thinking about it, he felt that the negotiation might not be progressing for a long time, so Lucas wanted to create this special image in front of him to achieve a certain purpose.

Joshua didn't think about it for a while, and he didn't bother to entangle too much on it, so he waved his hand: "Forget it, I don't care what you want. Since you say it's credible...then you'd better Take care of your people."

"Don't worry, no one here can be more..."

Halfway through Lucas's words, he suddenly felt the ground shake violently.

bang.

Huge explosions sounded from all directions.

The heat wave and dust twisted into a gray rope, extremely twisted, crazily squeezing the retina and eardrum from the outside to the inside.The scorching stones hit the ankles and all other exposed skin, making Dawn feel as if she had been peeled off.

Attack!

This was Joshua's first reaction.

Liming grabbed the hem of Lucas's clothes one second before the explosion, and the two of them hid towards the corner of the table. The protective cover that had been prepared earlier bounced off, wrapping the three of them in a transparent sphere. Dodged this round of attack.

Isabella, who was hiding in Liming's pocket, suddenly raised her head and neighed, and countless workers who had been lurking for a long time rushed to the vicinity.

"There was an ambush by about two teams."

Isabella said to Dawn.

"It's divided into inside and outside, and the outside has been solved by the children. I dare not let them get too close to the remaining team, otherwise they will touch the pheromone on your body and go crazy."

Li Ming: "That's enough."

She stood up, and the protective cover broke after helping her resist the attack, dust and clods fell on her back through the transparent film, and now fell to the ground following the movement of standing up.

"Lucas! You told your people—"

"Don't rush to blame now, what if your people leak the secret?"

Lucas cut off his questioning, he pulled out the pistol from his holster, held it tightly in his hands, and used the table as a shield: "Who else knows about this except you?"

Not to be outdone, Joshua took out his sidearm and held it in his hand: "No one!"

"Where is Rhodes?"

Li Ming asked suddenly: "Does Rhodes really not know?"

Her voice was soft, without much power, even so unreal in the vacuum created by such a blast.

Joshua thought he had auditory hallucinations, but the voice in his heart told him that he heard Rhodes' name.

The two giants meet in an attempt to end the war.

But does the other giant in the main battle really not know?

Joshua fell silent.

The dust finally cleared up, and they could vaguely see soldiers with guns filing in.

Wearing the clothes of the Southeast New Army.

"Senator Joe! Are you all right!"

The leading captain still had blood on his body, and it seemed that he had just gone through a fierce battle from his clothes.

"...Are you... from Rhodes?"

Joshua instinctively sensed something was wrong.

He hesitated a little, wondering if he should move forward to the "safe zone".

"Senator Luo monitored the expansion route of the Freedom Alliance this morning, but just after I arrived at your mansion, I found that you had already left in a private starship...It happened to be the expansion route of the Freedom Alliance. Senator Luo was worried about your safety, so Send us to covertly protect you, and we detected that the interstellar pirates have located you and launched an assassination operation as soon as we arrived, and it was too late to assassinate one by one, so we had to take extreme measures as a last resort..."

The answer seemed to be rehearsed countless times, with almost no pause.

The captain said, then changed the topic: "Are you okay!?"

Joshua said that he was almost scared to death by you.

And Rhodes...

Damn, go back and have a follow-up battle with him.

The team members pointed their guns at Lucas and Liming beside him, because both of them turned their backs to the soldiers, so the soldiers didn't see their faces clearly, and the crisp sound of the bullets resounding: "You were captured by pirates. Is it hijacked? Is this your companion or—?"

Joshua stood up and paused, keenly aware of something wrong.

He's had so many encounters with Lucas.

Long before the four meetings, he had multiple contacts with Lucas, and even Lucas would not do such a thing. Killing him, the leader of the dove faction, would not be of any benefit to Lucas' appeal.

And even if Lucas wanted to kill, there was no need to use such a stupid method.

But Lucas took the child with him again today, and his behavior was indeed different from usual.

At first he thought the child was a child mole or something else, but the "Rod" that Mrs. Purcell asked just now fit inexplicably with the current situation.

Joshua would never believe it was a coincidence.

"If you don't want to die, just listen to me—"

The voice of dawn rang in Lucas's head.

"Don't look at me, don't be suspicious, convince them that we are friends."

This voice is as deep as sea water, although it is still a child's tone, but I don't know if it is a spiritual transmission, there is an indescribable hollowness.

Deep, empty, cold.

As if she knew it all.

convincing.

Liming's mental power recovered very slowly, and it was a labor-intensive task to assimilate an adult, not to mention that Joshua's mental threshold was quite high.

If you can't share information, you can only settle for the next best thing.

No matter how confused Joshua was, he knew he was in a dilemma.

Lucas is unlikely to hurt him, but Lucas is his enemy.

The new army is from Rhodes, so it is impossible to harm the people of the Federation, but this weird Mrs. Searle obviously doesn't think so.

... Are the besieged interstellar pirates real?

This doubt crossed Joshua's mind.

"Senator? Are you all right?"

The captain's voice brought Joshua back to reality.

"Ah...it's okay."

He came back to his senses, "These people are my friends, put down your guns."

The soldiers were unmoved.

It still doesn't seem to work.

Li Ming sighed, and said to Isabella: "Let them come in, killing doesn't matter that much."

"Put the gun down." Joshua realized something was wrong, and his voice sank, "Didn't you hear that!"

"Senator, sorry."

The captain moved his gun to Joshua: "The order we received is to escort you to your destination safely, and then let you rest here."

The air froze for a moment.

"Hey, to be honest, give me the business information." Lucas said without looking at him, as if begging for a trivial candy from his companion.

Time is stretched infinitely at this moment.

All bullets are fired.
