    Chapter 352 Between Staying and Going

    The planet Gesar is in an interstellar orbit that is gradually moving away from the star. The weather is getting colder day by day, especially at dawn, when the first signs of winter are already showing.

    Morning in the slums always comes earlier than in other places. The poor people who are rushing around for a day's livelihood leave their homes early and board the transport buses that never seem to be late to start a busy and tiring day.  The bus stop at the street corner was crowded with people. They greeted each other and made meaningless jokes. The white breath in their mouths stood out in the refreshing morning light.

    Yi Lexiang stood at the window and watched all this silently. This is the life of ordinary people. They never think about what the future will be like, they only care about what will happen today.

    The early morning sun shines into the room through the gaps on the roof, forming golden beams of light. Mi Zhiqing quietly looks at the young figure bathed in the network of light and darkness, seeming to experience an indescribable feeling.  The feeling of loneliness.  He walked slowly to the window and stood side by side with Yi Lexiang.  "What happened?"

    Yi Lexiang did not turn around. He knew that there was someone who stayed up all night like him.  In the corner, several secret society warriors who were responsible for keeping vigil had already fallen asleep leaning against the corner when the first ray of sunlight entered the room. Several mecha war gods in charge leaned against the corner listlessly and yawned.  The noise of the carriages and horses outside did not affect the soldiers who were still sleeping soundly. They were too tired. After several days of fierce battles, coupled with the worry about the missing general, almost no one had a good rest.  Last night was perhaps the most peaceful sleep they had in the past few days.

    He could feel this kind elder¡¯s love and concern for him, but he still remained silent.  The message he received from the fallen gods made him extremely confused, like a giant thorn piercing his heart.  Is the secret society part of this huge conspiracy?  He couldn't help but ask himself.  He was a little ashamed, and felt ashamed for his hesitation to face this elder who had always favored him.

    Mi Zhiqing looked at the silent Yi Lexiang in surprise.  He pondered for a while, then raised his hand and patted Yi Lexiang's shoulder, "You're too tired! Take a good rest." After saying that, Mi Zhiqing turned his attention to the noisy and chaotic market outside the house.

    That day, when the noise once again shrouded the entire slum, Yi Lexiang and his party left the hiding house.  As the bustling crowd quietly escaped into the vast wilderness.  Today is their last chance.  The League of Gods issued an ultimatum to the secret society armed fleet that landed on the planet Gesar. When the last ray of the sun disappeared from the sky above the airport, they must leave Gesar.  Mi Zhiqing dismissed the secret society soldiers who followed Zuo Ma to rescue him, leaving only a few guards.  The more people there are, the greater the chance of exposure.  What's more, these warriors have their roots in Gesar. Some of them are already married and have children. When needed, they responded to the call and came without fear of sacrifice. Now is the time for them to return to a peaceful life.

    All the idle people around the airport were dispersed by the soldiers of the League of Gods, and were replaced by rows and rows of heavily guarded soldiers.  Patrol airships in the sky constantly monitor the ground and report to the headquarters every fifteen minutes.  The road into the airport is also blocked by heavy armor, leaving only one main road. All people entering and leaving the airport can only enter and exit through this road.

    Yi Lexiang and his party were hiding in a mountain col three kilometers away from the airport. Facing such a heavily guarded camp, everyone was helpless and felt like they had nowhere to start.  From heaven to earth, the people of the Shenmeng attacked almost all channels.  Chen Yatian and Xin Qiang stood beside Yi Lexiang with sad faces. The Shenmeng people were even more strict about airport security than they expected.

    "If we put on the costumes of secret society warriors, can we enter the airport? They can't even allow members of the secret society to enter and exit, right?" Xin Qiang raised an idea in an angry voice.  He is always the first person to speak in every tactical analysis meeting like this, but the chance of being adopted is almost zero.  He no longer cares.  It's just a good idea, that's how he always responded to other staff members' jokes.  Besides, strategy is not his specialty. His specialty is fighting and killing.

    Yi Lexiang shook his head and pointed to the checkpoint in the distance, "I just observed that there are no more than twenty people entering and leaving each time. Whether they are people from the Shen League or the secret society, they are treated in the same way. But  We have nearly three thousand people here.¡±

    "If it doesn't work, we can ask the old president to leave first. We will think of other ways." Xin Qiang said again.

    "The question is whether the old president and the others can pass the inspection safely. I always feel that this is a bit risky. If the old president's identity is exposed, I am afraid that he will fall into the hands of the Shenmen League again. In this way, everything we have done before will be in vain.  Abandon?" Chen Yatian shook his head worriedly.  There was one more thing he didn't say.  If the old president is discovered by the God Alliance, Yang Haojun must know that Yi Lexiang and others have also escaped from the underground safely.It is said that escaping from Gesar has become more difficult.

    Yi Lexiang turned around and slid down the hillside, hid in the shade of a towering tree, and opened the holographic map provided by the secret society.  "The people of the Divine Alliance don't know whether we survived the storm. Otherwise, they would not have allowed the secret society's fleet to land on Gesar. Everything may be Yang Haojun's trick. After all, he experienced the same thing personally on the capital planet.  It is inevitable that he will have doubts in his mind due to the storm." Yi Lexiang analyzed, "The reason why he has implemented such strict security measures at the airport is probably based on this reason. He must have the same idea as us, thinking that leaving Gesar,  The Conclave Starship is the best chance. But what if we do the opposite?"

    "Are you doing the opposite?" Everyone looked at Yi Lexiang in confusion.

    "Yes, his energy is now fully focused on the secret society's landing starship. All starships leaving Gesar will be closely monitored. But we do not necessarily have to leave Gesar on the secret society's starship."

    Everyone was even more confused.  Now that the Shenmeng people have conquered all the interstellar shipping lanes, if they don¡¯t take the Secret Society starship, they don¡¯t have any other starship to ride on?

    "There is another one!" Chen Yatian's eyes lit up, "Isn't the starship still hidden in the asteroid belt when we came? As long as"

    "But our starship has no personnel left behind," Xin Qiang interrupted Chen Yatian, "Are we operating it manually? The Shenmen are not fools. If the starship doesn't wait for it to land, it will be shot down by their defensive artillery fire."

    "When the secret starship is launched, won't there be people there?" Chen Yatian glanced at Xin Qiang with hatred, "Let them take over our starship and then land at other airports. Isn't it possible that Yang Haojun can still live forever?  ***Planet Gesar? Do you know how much supplies a planet inhabited by 10 billion people consumes every day? With such huge daily consumption, they cannot last for more than a few days. It is estimated that the current government of Planet Gesar  I have been complaining for a long time."

    Mi Zhiqing nodded, "This method should be feasible. And the longer it takes now, the better it is for us."

    Yi Lexiang and Chen Yatian nodded secretly.  As long as the secret society's starship can safely launch, the news that the old president is in Gesar can be spread. Even if the starship plan fails, the secret society will find other ways to rescue the old president.  They can even wait a little longer. Presumably the pirate group disguised as a new starship that cruises in the starry sky is also rushing to Gesar day and night. When the time comes, the two powers will join forces and will not be afraid of the League of Gods not giving in.

    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s settle it like this.¡± Yi Lexiang made the final decision without hesitation.

    ??¡ª¡ª

    "General," Yang Tianlai whispered, "the secret society's starship has left Gesar."

    "Didn't find anything?"

    ¡°We checked it carefully several times and found nothing.¡±

    ""

    "I ordered the people below to secretly conduct genetic comparisons on the secret society members who have left the starship. There must be no one else sneaking into the starship." Yang Tianlai added.

    "Is that disaster really just a coincidence?" Yang Haojun murmured to himself.

    Yang Tianlai hesitated and spoke again: "I also heard that the temple is studying the secret technique that causes the 'energy storm' these days. They seem to suspect that this secret technique has some shortcomings."

    "You mean they used secret techniques to cause changes in the world?" Yang Haojun said with a hint of contempt, "Just them? Humph! It would be great if things were really that simple."

    Yang Tianlai did not answer.  The general will naturally make his own judgment on some matters. As a qualified staff officer, he should know when to speak and when not to speak even if he is killed.  After a while, he saw that Yang Haojun's mood gradually calmed down, and he spoke again: "The temple requires us to revoke the attack on Gesar. It is said that the Gesar nobles jointly signed a letter, accusing our attack of seriously disturbing the entire society.  The normal order of the planet. Moreover, Gesar¡¯s various material reserves, especially daily necessities, have been used up and are in urgent need of external replenishment. You see"

    Yang Haojun snorted coldly and did not answer. He turned around and walked to the large starship porthole, overlooking the huge planetary body in space.

    Yang Tianlai remained silent and waited quietly.  After a long time, he heard Yang Haojun let out a deep sigh, "Alas! Inform the fleet to stop the full attack on the Gesar planet."

    "Yes!" Yang Tianlai responded, turned around and walked out.  When he walked to the moving gate, he faintly heard Yang Haojun muttering to himself, "What a great opportunity! We should really blow up this planet completely! What a pity!" He couldn't help but speed up his pace a little more, and the explosion  Destroy a planet with 10 billion people?  There was a hint of gloomy chill that could not be suppressed in his heart.
