“Another disappearance…11

Outside the Proxima Centauri wormhole, Kote’s face was gloomy, “Who can tell me what’s going on?!”

People below felt as if they were sitting on pins and needles. Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look up or respond.

“What are you all good for?”

“You all act tough normally, but when it comes to crunch time, not a peep!”

Tfff-”

Just then, a sound came from the side.

Kote turned his head sharply to see his deputy officer, who was holding his belly with a red face, “Captain, I… 1 have a stomachache! ”

Kote snorted coldly, “Do you have any solutions?!”

“No…”

“Great!”

Kote laughed sarcastically, “Now, you can go to the planning department!”

“Huh?”

The deputy officer was stunned. The planning department was the most dead-end department, designed specifically for long-distance interstellar travelers.

Although it sounded like a useful department, its actual job was to find ways to make the soldiers laugh.

Seeing him standing still, Kote coldly said, “What, don’t want to go?!”

“I do!”

The deputy officer was startled, quickly remembering who Kote was, and promptly replied, “Thank you, captain!”

With that, he hurriedly left.

He hadn’t forgotten the last person who annoyed Kote was sent away as cannon fodder to the neighboring star system and hasn’t returned yet.

Kote’s actions undoubtedly made everyone more afraid. They didn’t dare to breathe heavily, afraid of attracting attention.

After dealing with the deputy officer, some of Kote’s anger subsided. He looked around.

He noticed one person in the crowd who, unlike everyone else, didn’t lower his head. Instead, he looked at Kote confidently when he saw Kote looking at him.

This piqued Kote’s interest, and he stepped down from the high platform.

The crowd instinctively parted. Everywhere Kote went, he induced fear in those around him.

Only after he pa.s.sed would they breathe a sigh of relief, quietly looking up to see where Kote was heading.

Then, they saw the person who dared to look straight at Kote. They felt a bit of schadenfreude, thinking this person had guts but was about to face big trouble.

Soon, Kote stopped about a meter in front of that person, his eyes like thunder, staring for a long time. Seeing the person unmoved, a look of admiration appeared on his face, and he nodded slightly.

“What’s your name?!”

“Luka!”

“Which department?!”

“Star Map Drawing Department!”

A rather ordinary department, people couldn’t help but be curious about Luka’s background, given his audacity.

But no matter his background, offending Kote during an expedition means death, and it’s a meaningless death at that.

Kote nodded, then asked, “Do you have any thoughts on the disappearance of the scouting team?!”

“Yes!”

Luka nodded. For others, this event was a bad thing, but for him, it was an opportunity.

He had no special background. He climbed his way up through hard work. His prospects at the Star Map Drawing Department had already peaked. The structure was set. The only way up was to gain the favor of a high-ranking leader.

“Kote was intrigued and quickly said, “Tell me!”

Luka nodded and began, “We’ve sent three teams to the target star system, all missing without a trace…”

“What we need to do now is figure out if they are dead, or if they are trapped somewhere special…”

Indeed, some unique environments exist in the universe, having phenomena humans can t yet explain.

Kote stroked his beard, asking, “How can we determine if they’re dead or trapped?!”

Luka smiled slightly and said, “From the gravitational wave detector, we can see that everything in the neighboring star system is normal, with no sign of intelligent life…”

“But the gravitational wave detector’s range is limited after four light-years…”

“I’ve studied closely, this distance can only display celestial bodies of at least

50 kilometers…”

“Smaller, and it can’t be detected…”

“And our three scouting teams, each ship is far smaller than 50 kilometers…”

“So, 1 suggest sending a battleship over 50 kilometers in diameter through the wormhole, while keeping an eye on the gravitational wave detector…”

“Let’s see if this battleship will blow up…”

As soon as he finished, Kote bellowed, “Luka, you’ve got guts!”

Luka was startled, thinking quickly. He knew he couldn’t back down now and retorted, “Great achievements demand little sacrifices. Captain, if you’re not ready to make a small sacrifice, how can we succeed?!”

Kote was stunned for a moment, then broke into laughter.

While laughing, he patted Luka on the shoulder, then turned to the rest of the crew who quickly lowered their heads, saying, ‘ Look, this is what useful people look like…”

Hearing Kote’s laughter and realizing his good mood, everyone quickly raised their heads and began to flatter him.

Kote didn’t mind their bootlicking, and loudly said, “It’s just the Star Beauty, we can let it go for the sake of success!”

There was only one ship over 5a kilometers long, the Star Beauty, specially designed for entertainment.

As soon as he finished, someone hurriedly advised.

“Captain, this is the ship the General gave you…”

“Yeah, Captain, your family is on the Star Beauty.. What will you do if it s gone?!11
