Chapter 430: Chapter 325 Preparations (Five-in-One)_3

The three individuals walked to the end of the corridor and arrived at the central control room’s door.

The door was wide open, and the interior was quite dim.

The purple-haired girl stepped into the control room without any hesitation with resolute steps.

The central control room was very spacious, with a hollow circular console in the center, in front of which stood a raised command platform featuring a command chair.

The purple-haired girl, accompanied by two generals, approached the control console.

She touched the dust-covered console, her eyes revealing a hint of complicated emotions.

"Miss, this fortress has been abandoned for so many years, can it still be used?"

Admiral Ferion asked with some concern.

Admiral Jone followed up,

"Indeed, this fortress has been abandoned for over a hundred years!"

"It should still work; this Starshine Fortress is exceptionally outstanding with illustrious battle achievements!"

After speaking, the purple-haired girl reached inside the console and pressed a special mechanical switch.

Click!

The center of the console split open, revealing a special mechanical slot.

At that moment, the purple-haired girl took out a complex, angular mechanical key and inserted it into the slot!

Snap!

She turned the mechanical key.

Swoosh!

The entire surface of the console lit up with numerous patterns, followed by the entire walls of the central control room, all lit up with stripes of light.

Virtual projection screens instantaneously appeared, displaying a prompt.

"Do you wish to activate Starshine Fortress!"

"Activate!"

The girl’s lips slightly moved as she spoke.

The built-in fusion device within Starshine Fortress was instantly activated.

Inside the fortress, countless lights lit up, and various devices started operating. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

The surface sensors of the fortress began flashing.

"Activation successful; looks like it’s still usable."

"What should we do now?"

"Let the maintenance crew enter and begin inspections!"

"Yes!"

...

The next day, Sky Control Base.

Su Ming headed towards Meeting Room Number 1.

Along the way, soldiers he met saluted him.

"Sir!"

Su Ming nodded slightly and continued walking.

Although Su Ming was not in uniform, this corridor led to Meeting Room Number 1, and all those coming here for the meeting were high-level officers.

Soon, Su Ming arrived at the entrance of the meeting room.

The two soldiers guarding the door, clad in Second Generation Exoskeleton Armor, saluted and then pushed open the doors of the meeting room.

Su Ming walked straight in.

Swoosh!

Several pairs of eyes landed on him.

Su Ming scanned the meeting room somewhat surprised.

He saw dozens of officers seated there, among them, the highest ranked being two Lieutenant Colonels.

One of them was Lieutenant Colonel Shu’en, whom Su Ming recognized; he was the one who had participated in the test at the Xi’en Laboratory.

Lieutenant Colonel Shu’en saw Su Ming enter, his brow furrowed slightly but he said nothing.

However, at that moment, Su Ming keenly felt an unusual gaze.

Following the gaze, he saw a man in the uniform of a major, with short cropped hair, a stocky build, and an irritable demeanor, staring at him unpleasantly.

Upon closer thought, Su Ming remembered.

This was none other than Major Hejassi from Xi Guang Laboratory who had accused him of nepotism; unexpectedly, they met here.

Nevertheless, Su Ming ignored it and walked to the front to find an empty seat and sat down.

"Damn, Chen Ying, did you see that? The guy who used connections!"

"I saw."

Major Chen Ying replied with a headache.

"Spit! Amazing, isn’t it? Someone who used backdoor connections reached the rank of a major. What are the superiors thinking?"

Major Hejassi said, visibly annoyed.

"Enough, stop talking about it."

Chen Ying cautioned Hejassi.

"Hmph!"

Hejassi grudgingly suppressed his anger.

At this moment, many officers at the scene were whispering.

"Who was that who just came in? So young?"

"Not sure, but he looks familiar, seems like I’ve seen him somewhere!"

...

Su Ming listened to their murmurs, quietly waiting for the meeting to start.

At that moment, the door of the meeting room opened again.

Su Ming and the others turned to look.

A man in a Colonel’s uniform, handsome and pale-faced with a stern demeanor and extraordinary bearing, walked in.

"It’s Colonel Kaff!"

"Lucky he also joined the Thirteenth Legion!"

...

Many officers quietly murmured.

Colonel Kaff ignored the murmurs and walked to the front row and took his seat directly.

Su Ming looked at his wristwatch; it was 7:30 am, still half an hour until the meeting began, so he patiently waited.

About half an hour later, the doors of the council chamber were once again pushed open.

Swoosh!

The numerous officers present all stood up.

Su Ming also stood and turned to look.

A burly man with a wide waist, a full beard, a broad forehead, and bright eyes, dressed in a Major General’s uniform, stepped in powerfully.

"General Vickers!"

Everyone saluted.

"Sit!"

General Vickers responded in a deep voice and then ascended the podium.

Su Ming and the others sat down and looked at Vic Major General.

Vickers scanned all the officers present and, confirming everyone was present, he began to speak solemnly.

"Welcome to all for joining the Thirteenth Legion. Starting today, we are one legion, and everyone must live in harmony and unite as one!"

"Yes!"

Chen Ying and the others responded seriously.

"The Thirteenth Legion, though newly formed, bears a great responsibility. You must clearly understand the purpose of the Federation in establishing the Thirteenth Legion. We are about to face a fierce battle, and we must quickly streamline the legion, harmonize, and enhance our combat effectiveness!"
