What the star thieves are most worried about is that unknown forces have quietly intervened in this siege.
The Fire Pioneer Regiment rushed out with a small and capable team, which already put the Star Thieves in a bit of a dilemma.
The sudden appearance of a strange face this time made the star thieves even more wary.
Just as Gordo guessed, the star thieves were ostensibly targeting Agni, but their real purpose was to destroy Black Rain, a heaven-level team.
Black Rain is difficult to deal with, and it is very difficult to completely eliminate it, but in this battle, Black Rain must at least be defeated.
In the final analysis, despite the fact that the Seventh Master's combat power is not very good, his existence is a huge threat and shock to the four major heaven-level groups.
Su Dafeng comes and goes like the wind, and his whereabouts are as mysterious as the wind. When a sneak attack is launched, the A-level warrior may not survive.
With this suppressive factor gone, the four heaven-level pioneering groups can use their vigilance to counterattack the star thieves.
Every heaven-level team has a lot of vigilance, and all four powers are released... Thinking about it makes people's scalp numb.
The situation on the battlefield has always been accumulated through quantitative changes, eventually leading to qualitative changes.
The death of the Seventh Master is very likely to become a turning point. If the situation continues to develop, it is normal for the pioneer group to turn from defense to offense.
In this case, it is necessary to cripple one or two heaven-level groups so that the star thieves can regain the initiative.
So far, the Star Thieves are not afraid of trouble, even if two more A-class ones escaped from the spacecraft captured a while ago.
Okay, those two A-levels also put a lot of pressure on the Star Thieves, but that's all.
The key is what kind of forces are involved in this encirclement and suppression. This is the top priority.
At the same time, on Hope 3, a soft cry came from a duty room at the Interstellar Terminal.
"Jidi 067 cargo ship, hasn't it arrived at the port yet?"
The one who made the chuckle was a woman in her thirties, wearing an airport ground crew uniform, with a frown on her face and a solemn look on her face.
Then she grabbed the intercom and said, "Check the reason why the Gidi 067 cargo ship was delayed in arriving at the port."
Not long after, the answer came from the intercom, "The other party is taking a sublight speed route, and there is a certain possibility of delay."
"I know it's sub-light speed," the flirty woman replied, "May I ask the latest arrival time."
The other person replied, "There is no latest, the theoretical latest is ten days later."
Where is the latest in interstellar navigation? But if nothing happens, according to the planned speed, there is a latest expectation...
Qu Jianlei was not good at interrogating people, but he felt that there was no need to learn. It was enough to be able to judge whether what the other party said was true or false.
As for the interrogation process, just learn Mu Huahua's methods. Who can't cut off their fingers?
The first person he interrogated was the water attribute C-level.
This guy was a bit tough at first, and refused to answer even after having two fingers chopped off.
Qu Jianlei thought about it and felt that he should let the other party understand that you are not the only one I caught.
The water attribute collapsed immediately after seeing the other three people in a coma.
He knew that these three people were restrained, but four people were brought out. This was too much: Are the reinforcements working for a living?
He has confidence in his own tenacity, but others may not. "Sir, what do you want to ask...will you survive if you answer it?"
Qu Jianlei shook his head, "If you don't lie, I can give you a good time!"
Then why should I say it? This person felt very uncomfortable.
However, feeling the heartbreaking pain coming from his fingers, he sighed helplessly, "My lord, please ask."
Next, the interrogation of this person went smoothly.
However, the second C-level player is really tough and even had five fingers chopped off without answering.
Just when Qu Jianlei was about to cut off the fingers of his other hand, he suddenly had an idea and knocked the person unconscious, then woke up the B-level guy.
This time, he directly showed the other three prisoners to the other party and announced the punishment of torture.
"They all realize that struggling in the prisoner's dilemma is meaningless."
The B-class warrior looked at the two C-class soldiers, and then at the fully-fledged Herman.
He didn't know much about the term "Prisoner's Dilemma", but this guy... was indeed soft-boned and could do it without torture.
Then he looked at the guy who had five fingers cut off and said thoughtfully, "He said that too?"
"Otherwise?" Qu Jianlei looked at him indifferently, "Why should I let his other hand go?"
The B-class soldier asked thoughtfully, "In other words, you can survive if you answer honestly?"
If you can't live, is there any difference between losing five fingers and losing ten?
"At least it will give you a good time!" Qu Jianlei replied casually, "You want to experience the feeling of life being worse than death? That's okay!"
The B-class soldier pondered for a moment and then spoke, "Can you hand me over to Muguoguo of Fierce Fire? He owes me a favor, and maybe he will let me go."
Will the Pioneer Group owe the Star Thieves a favor? This is the first time Qu Jianlei has heard this statement.
But...it's not surprising, after all, Star Thief is still a human being, not a fallen person.
But then, he felt an unusual emotion from the other party.
After pondering for a moment, he asked calmly, "Mu Guoguo of Fiery Fire...is that the group leader?"
The B-level soldier raised his brows and spoke in surprise, "Aren't you familiar with Lie Huo?"
At this time, you still want to explore my mouth? Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and removed the other person's chin.
His strikes were like lightning, and the B-class warrior had no time to react.
He tapped the other person's teeth, and sure enough, one tooth was different from the others.
He reached out his hand and pulled out the other person's teeth forcefully.
He looked through it twice, took out the instrument and checked it again, and laughed.
"Let me tell you, you can only move your mouth, and you still want to ask for information. That's true."
"This kind of pressure-induced communication is quite sophisticated, but if you want to deal with me, it's still a bit unsatisfactory."
The sophistication of this device was beyond his expectation, especially since it was only activated by pressing the hair, so he didn't even notice it.
Then Qu Jianlei raised his hand and closed the opponent's chin.
Then he grinned and said, "You didn't activate this thing. Do you want to choose the right time to gather people to besiege me?"
The B-class soldier was surprised for a while, and finally accepted his fate, "What I want to do is see if I can reach your contact point."
Qu Jianlei asked with great interest, "If you bite your teeth, how many A-levels and B-levels can you attract?"
"It's hard to say what's A-level. For B-level, maybe five or six," the man answered honestly. "The key is that there will be more mechas."
Mecha...this is a big problem! Qu Jianlei felt like he was aware of it.
He is really not afraid of the opponent coming up to three or four A-levels. He can escape even if he can't defeat him, and he may even be able to annihilate them separately.
But mechas are different. Just relying on the number of them can make him unbearable.
If he wasn't worried about those high-tech weapons, he might not have needed to escape at the dock.
Then he raised his hand and cut off the little finger of the opponent's right hand, and then the ring finger...
"Sir!" This B-class soldier couldn't stand it anymore. He gasped and said, "I am willing to cooperate and answer."
Qu Jianlei ignored it at all, cut off five fingers on his right hand, and then cut off five more on his left hand, and then spoke slowly.
"If you dare to trick me, you have to be punished a little. Are you sure you want to answer my question?"
"I'm sure," the soldier said, sweat breaking out from the pain, "I know a lot of news."
Although many people boast that they can withstand severe torture, in fact, most people cannot do it at all.
Those who can persevere either have firm beliefs or are full of hostility.
This guy was no exception, he poured out everything he knew.
It took Qu Jianlei most of the night to interrogate these four people. By the time the interrogation was completed, it was almost dawn.
He killed the four of them without hesitation, even the B-class warrior did have something to do with Mu Guoguo.
In fact, this person's contact with Captain Mu was relatively mild, and it was also out of the Star Thieves' comprehensive considerations.
Since we can surrender the Qingyun Group, why can't we surrender the Fiery Group?
However, Qu Jianlei will not consider Mu Guoguo's factors. He is behind enemy lines and must act cheaply. I believe Captain Mu can also understand.
He thought for a while and finally put the tooth into the storage ring. The main battlefield was not with him, so why forcefully draw hatred?
Moreover, a trap had just been detonated at night. If it were to happen again, the other party would definitely be more vigilant.
After burying the bodies of the four people, he walked around to investigate. After two days, he basically understood the surrounding situation.
At night, he came to Sullivan's house again.
Sullivan didn't drink this time. He had been waiting for him to arrive and handed him a bag as soon as he met.
"It's all inside, sir. Did you do what happened to the Herman family?"
Qu Jianlei replied calmly, "I know who did it. What, do you have any ideas?"
Sullivan nodded, "I do have some ideas. I wonder what kind of cultivation that adult is?"
"I can't contact him," Qu Jianlei flatly refused, and then spoke seriously, "Cultivation does not represent true strength, do you understand?"
"Of course I understand this," Sullivan nodded, "But sometimes, cultivation is the indicator."
Qu Jianlei seemed to be talking about what he said, so he asked, "Why are you looking for him in such a hurry?"
Sullivan shook his head and said seriously, "Sorry, it's not convenient to tell you."
It's up to you. Qu Jianlei didn't bother to ask anymore. It was very important for him to ensure that his multiple identities were not exposed.
How important can the information obtained by a carpenter be?
The most important thing is... he is far away from the main battlefield, so why should he take the lead?
He opened the bag and flipped through the information inside, and surprisingly found that this person's information was very accurate.
At least it's much better than the information provided by Herman.
Unfortunately, there is still no news about other pioneering group forces.
Qu Jianlei nodded, "Pretty good, by the way... Do you have any news about Pan Yifu?"
He intentionally did not mention Pan Yifu's identity, just wanting to take this opportunity to take a look at the opponent's bottom.
He's just a carpenter, how well-informed can he be?
