What should I do if all the contractors are in love?

"He, no, she is the controller?" the deputy captain who was closer to the captain murmured.

"Not necessarily. Although there are few alien plants among the executors, they do exist." The captain looked serious.

The vines on the side were still madly growing branches of varying thicknesses.

Before anyone could take action, one of the vines violently removed the protective suit and helmet hanging on the man; the other vine then moved up and tightly wrapped around the hostage's neck in tacit cooperation.

The man's face suddenly turned red, as if he would suffocate in the next second.

The hostage kicked his legs weakly in the air, trying desperately to find a foothold.

Although the other party was in such a miserable state, the captain's expression relaxed after he saw the face of the man held hostage by the vines.

Just not being one of his teammates.

But how did the other party appear here?

The deputy team leader beside him was surprised and asked, "Isn't this Jiang Qi? Why is he here? Didn't I tell them not to get close?"

The captain frowned: "Do you know him?"

The deputy captain concealed the surprise in his eyes and said, "Yes, they are from the development company, Team A that set out not long ago."

They belong to the pioneering corps of the federal army and their work goals are different from those of the development company employees.

The other party is responsible for collecting resources on the planet in order to plan the subsequent development of the planet.

For example, planets with beautiful scenery and unique features are suitable for use as tourist planets, and corresponding scenic spots can be built for people to visit;

Planets with good air quality and low risk factors are suitable for living, and the planet owner can move to the new planet as a city lord;

Planets that make money quickly are those that are rich in resources but have a higher risk factor. The fate of these planets...is often that after their resources are over-exploited, they are reported as garbage planets.

After passing the approval, the garbage planet will officially enter the public eye, and those with better air quality will be used to accommodate fifth-class citizens - that is, criminals.

Areas with poor air quality will basically not be noticed by anyone and may even become the nests of some space pirates.

……

Their pioneering corps is responsible for planetary development, which means clearing out Zerg monsters and ensuring the safety of development company personnel.

Every planet owner needs the assistance of the federal army in the early stages of planet development.

Of course, to put it nicely it is assistance, but in fact it is also a disguised form of supervision.

Because once the Federation encounters any rare resources, it will unconditionally recycle them.

The development company is usually found by the planet owner himself. There are many private enterprises in this field, and they are not official agencies.

The planet owner usually does not personally intervene in the development work. If he hires them, he is naturally afraid that the people in the development company will embezzle his assets.

Therefore, the three parties have been holding each other hostage during the development of the new planet.

Well...it can be considered a stable triangle.

As for why the planet master didn't come...

That’s of course because the owners of those planets are all rich, and rich people value their lives, so why would they take the risk of going to an undeveloped planet?

After all, whether it's encountering pirates during navigation or encountering a black hole during the jump...

Both are life-threatening risks.

……

The captain nodded without paying much attention to what he said: "Since he didn't obey orders, it's his own business if he dies."

When the deputy captain heard his captain's words that he didn't intend to care about the other party's life or death, his expression froze and he stammered, "Well, captain... Jiang Qi is from the Jiang family."

The captain was stunned for a moment. The Jiang family was definitely not an ordinary one that could be mentioned by the deputy captain at this moment.

He frowned and quickly found the answer in his mind: "Heyuan Jiang Family?"

The deputy captain nodded.

The captain frowned even deeper: "Why would someone from the Jiang family work in a development company?"

Forget about working in a development company.

Someone who is sent out to do development work is obviously not an important person.

As he spoke, he thought about it and felt something was wrong. He looked over with sharp eyes: "How do you know he is from the Jiang family?"

The deputy captain coughed lightly: "It was someone from the Jiang family who contacted me before leaving and asked me to take care of him..."

The captain raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "Okay, I'll see to it."

He was not curious about the secrets of those families. Although the nobles seemed glamorous on the surface, there were not many upright gentlemen in private.

But the Heyuan Jiang family...

It's definitely not someone he can afford to offend.

Tsk.

The Jiang family had better pray that the person who catches him is not a desperado.

Otherwise, I can't save him.

……

The two men had been talking for less than two minutes, and Jiang Qi, who was being held hostage, had already walked around the brink of death.

Every time when he was about to suffocate, the vines would loosen their grip a little, and instinctively he would take a deep breath of the stale air, only to be mercilessly strangled by the vines the next second.

This cycle continued until the captain decided to try his best to keep the "suspect" alive while arresting him.

When Jiang Qi was first hung up, he felt regretful that he hadn't followed him rashly.

In the end, he no longer had time to think about those things. He was strangled so hard that tears and snot were streaming down his face. He still had to try hard to breathe when the vines loosened their grip, making "ho ho" gasping sounds, and he looked so pitiful.

Just as the strange liquid on his face was about to drip onto the vines, his neck was finally completely released by the vines.

Before he could catch his breath, he was suddenly hung upside down, with his whole body dangling half a meter off the ground.

The entire branch of the vine shook, as if it was disgusted, and the binding on Jiang Qi changed from being tightly wrapped around him several times to being loose, leaving only his ankles hanging.

Jiang Qi, who was already lacking oxygen in his brain, fainted completely due to the sudden shaking.

Yunjiu looked at the leader's originally nonchalant eyes and became alert.

The corners of her lips curled up slightly and she chuckled.

It seems that this little mouse that has been following her is still useful. At least the other party has begun to care about his life or death.

They are indeed in the same group.

……

"Let him go!" the captain said in a deep voice.

Yunjiu spoke too softly before and was quite far away from these people. Although the people in the federal army would use their mental power during the battle, the miasma forest had extremely strong shielding properties.

Therefore, no one had noticed that the words she uttered were different from theirs.

Although Yunjiu couldn't understand what the leader on the other side said, he could guess something from his expression.

There is no way to communicate, and we are wary of each other...

It's difficult...

With a thought, she took the pistol from the hostage's waist and threw it to the ground.

The others stared at Yunjiu's movements nervously, and several men with guns were ready to take action.

If there had been no order, I'm afraid I would have shot him and strangled this dangerous person in the cradle.

Yunjiu's expression remained unchanged. He pointed at the gun on the ground, and then accurately pointed at the people hiding behind the bushes and in the treetops.

The meaning couldn't be more obvious, it was a threat to them to surrender their guns.

The captain's expression froze.

It was because the other party could accurately point out everyone's hiding place, which made him afraid.

He is an S-level psychic, but he is still restricted in the miasma forest. Although the distance at this time is barely enough to sense the opponent's mental fluctuations, he can also directly "see" the opponent's actions through his mental power.

but……

Many teammates lurking around were far away from this person, but he could see them all...

This means that the opponent's mental power level is at least the same as his, and there is a greater possibility that it is higher than his.

That means mental strength is S+ for sure.

Their team couldn't deal with 'him', but they had the entire combat power of the spacecraft.

Then, every decision you make will affect whether everyone on the spacecraft can return safely.

……

Just as the captain was quickly thinking about how to end the situation without a conflict between the two sides.

Yunjiu decided to take the initiative to show "goodwill".

Amid the surprise and gasps of the crowd, she took off the tattered helmet and threw it to the ground without mercy.

The already tattered helmet made a crackling sound.

The girl has outstanding facial features, a delicate oval face, watery almond-shaped eyes, a small and tall nose, and a tightly pursed cherry mouth. From her appearance alone, she is very well-behaved and cute.

- Although the atmosphere she tried so hard to create was largely ruined by her short hair that looked like it had been chewed by a dog and the unconscious hostage hanging upside down beside her, everyone could still sense that her 'innocent' expression was mixed with some doubt.

It seems to be asking: I have taken off my helmet, so won’t you drop your guns?

People with weak wills can easily change sides.

Although everyone present was a ruthless person, the strength displayed by the other party... or the style of doing things, was definitely not as harmless as it appeared on the surface.

But - she is a real controller!

"Why would the controller be in a place like this?!" someone couldn't help but gasp.

Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of the captain, waiting for his instructions.

……

Yunjiu's mental power had already spread out in all directions, and she could see everyone's behavior, reactions, and emotional changes.

She noticed that the group's mood was getting agitated after she took off her protective helmet.

Those blatant and cautious gazes turned into surprise, and some people became inexplicably more nervous.

And... disgusting darkness.

Yunjiu looked at the person who was staring at her most blatantly, and attacked him with precise mental strength. The person screamed "Ah", and lost consciousness before he could react.

The man was hiding in the tree canopy beside her. After fainting, he suddenly fell down and landed next to Yunjiu.

Others only saw the girl tremble all over, and her expression seemed to be "frightened". She glanced at them one by one warily and "timidly".

Everyone: Hey, hey, hey, do you really think we are fools?

Someone who was close couldn't help but take two steps forward, wanting to check on his companions, but the captain raised his hand to stop him.

The captain pursed his lips. If losing only one person could save the rest, it would be worth it.

Although he also didn't understand why that player became the target of "operation".

He examined the seemingly harmless girl, trying to discern the emotions conveyed by her mental fluctuations.

After a long while, he slowly gave the order: "Put away the guns."

Everyone was still very alert, but no one spoke out to disobey. Obeying orders was ingrained in their bones, and they all put away their guns obediently.

Of course it is impossible to hand over the weapons.

Although he didn't know why the other party didn't speak, the captain did not sense any attacking intention from the girl.

Although the other party's mental strength level is higher than his, as a team leader, his perception of his emotional fluctuations is not bad, at least it is considered high among this group of people.

So, he trusted his own judgment.
