Chapter 196 General Katherine
Chapter 196 General Katherine
That's why it's said that there are very few unattractive people in the entire intergalactic world; it's all thanks to the various outrageous plastic surgery clinics and handsome suits.
Now, Shen Qingqing and Ge Yuan are strolling around the streets in matching outfits.
Similar to a silicone mask, but thinner and more breathable, it's a thin sheet that sticks to the face, making it difficult to identify the two individuals without judging by their smell and body shape.
This is why Ge Yuan proposed developing the Zerg manufacturing industry first.
It's important to know that, looking across the entire intergalactic world, no race can rival the Zerg's cosmetic techniques.
Therefore, the two of them arrived at the Central Federation of Caster Star very easily.
Just as Shen Qingqing was captivated by the grand and magnificent metal floating sphere reminiscent of the high-tech atmosphere of the Federation's interstellar control room, Ge Yuan began his information gathering work.
"The first thing we need to do is get the recent transaction data from the interstellar control room." Ge Yuan suddenly remembered that Shen Qingqing didn't have a personal terminal yet.
I slapped my forehead; how could I have forgotten about that?
So I bought her a terminal on the black market.
"Let's use it for now. Our optical computer connection repair project is huge, and it will keep Andorra busy for a while."
Thus, Shen Qingqing acquired the third communication tool for insect life.
When she put on the simple silver bracelet, she felt that the little thing that Ge Yuan had bought for two hundred star coins seemed a bit heavy.
That's right, it's sinking.
It felt heavy on my wrist, a completely different feel from what Ge Yuan had said about the black market having few valuable items.
This feeling is not only reflected in the weight and texture, but more importantly in the psychological feeling it brings her.
For some reason, she felt that something was off about this terminal.
But after looking at the terminal, Ge Yuan told her that the goods in the entire black market were collected from all over the interstellar space, and there was bound to be a mix of good and bad. Maybe she just happened to be lucky enough to find a bargain.
"Let's go first. The Interstellar Federation General Bureau Stock Exchange doesn't open until this afternoon. Let's find a place to eat first."
Ge Yuan waved his hand, indicating that eating was the priority.
Shen Qingqing also felt a little hungry, so she nodded and followed.
While they were eating, they heard a commotion outside. Before Shen Qingqing could peek out to see what was happening, the shopkeeper quickly pressed a button to take away the small blanket placed outside the shop. Then, right before their eyes, the entire shop was transformed into an inconspicuous silver-gray metal wall.
At this moment, Shen Qingqing was still holding a bowl in her hands.
They only paid for the food, not the bowls.
"Tsk, what kind of luck is this? It's the Federal Headquarters. Qingqing, let's go!"
Without saying a word, Ge Yuan grabbed her and ran.
Like a cat seeing a mouse.
One of the mice was even holding a bowl in its hand.
Federal Bureau personnel arrived with detectors in hand, slowly approaching the alley.
They were all dressed in black military uniforms, solemn and dignified, and without exception, all of them wore half-face masks, with cold light reflecting off their interstellar goggles.
The leader was clearly not on the same level as the other members, both in terms of temperament and attire.
The double-edged sword on his epaulettes indicated that he was a general of the highest rank on Caster, and this sudden deployment must have meant that something extraordinary had happened.
Watching the small red dot on his wrist move continuously, then flash twice and disappear, the general remained silent.
However, his men couldn't stand it.
You should know that this general, who always exudes an aura of unapproachability, is the most unruly and powerful person in the Federal Bureau, second only to that person.
They were temporarily transferred here because they heard that the general's terminal, which he had inadvertently lost, suddenly became responsive.
That terminal contains military secrets of the highest level of security in interstellar space, and it must never be obtained by anyone else!
"Search carefully."
A completely emotionless voice came from beneath the black mask.
The defense team meticulously inspected every corner, ensuring that not even a speck of interstellar dust was missed.
However, Ge Yuan and Shen Qingqing, who had already escaped, were no longer in their area.
"Ge Yuan, how, how did they suddenly arrive so quickly..." Shen Qingqing gasped for breath, she had almost run herself ragged just now.
Seeing that no one was chasing after them, Ge Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. "Phew... I don't know, maybe it was a temporary check to see if there were any stowaways. But speaking of which, why are you still holding that bowl?"
The two of them had been running for so long that Ge Yuan had lost one of her earrings, while Shen Qingqing was still holding that bowl in her hand!
"Is it delicious?"
"You won't know until you try it."
Shen Qingqing handed her the bowl, but the beauty refused.
"No, I don't eat rice, especially rice with this unknown pungent smell."
Shen Qingqing looked in the direction she was pointing and realized that the thing that was emitting an unknown pungent smell was actually the leaves inside.
"So, Ge Yuan, you don't eat catnip!"
Shen Qingqing sighed, "What a pity, it actually tastes pretty good. Ge Yuan, would you like to try it?"
"No."
"Okay, okay, then I'll eat it myself."
After they were temporarily safe, the two of them began to plan which route would be safest to take next, completely unaware that their every move had been exposed to the eyes of others.
General Katherine picked up the white object from the ground and flattened it between her fingers. "It's rice."
There was also a piece of vegetable leaf on the ground.
There's only one place on the entire planet Caster where this inferior rice can be found: the docks and the black market.
The source of fresh vegetables is easier to trace, especially vegetables with such a strong odor.
“Start by tracing the source. All routes related to the import of rice and fresh vegetables must be reported to me at the same time. At the same time, apply to the higher authorities to open a regional monitoring network for facial recognition, and first track the movements of people of different races.”
"Report any situation to me immediately."
"Yes, General."
General Katherine walked alone to a corner, signaling the others not to follow.
That deserted alley was a dead end.
Katherine easily flipped over by propping herself up on her arms. Under the artificial sunlight, there were faint damp stains on the edge of the wall.
The hand, encased in a leather glove, rubbed against the edge. The bloodstains that had seeped from the owner's body had dried and were now lying on the glove, awaiting scrutiny.
"Is she a rare creature, or a noblewoman?"
Katherine considers himself not a gentleman, but believes that one should not be violent towards ladies.
Therefore, the defense force was ordered to temporarily withdraw.
"General, shouldn't we be tracking your terminal? What if the classified information inside is leaked..."
"This is my private matter. My squadron leader, you should spend your time managing the security of Castor Star. Recently, quite a few foreign races have infiltrated the area."
The slightly sarcastic voice lingered in the air, but the owner of the voice, the arrogant and conceited General Katherine, had already vanished from the spot.
The company commander could only order the guards to retreat first, awaiting further instructions from this high-ranking official who held a higher rank than them.
Who told the general to suddenly decide to come back and rest for a while?
