Disguised as a man, she returned to the military academy and was forced to study again.

It has the most unique Butterfly Nebula and a beautiful orange sky. If it weren't for poverty and war, such a beautiful galaxy would probably be a tourist attraction.

The distance between the two spacecraft was quite far, but Han Tingbai did not rush in to avoid misunderstanding. Instead, he opened the communication system and sent a message repeatedly:

"I am Han Tingbai, captain of the Silver Wolf Squadron under the Black Skeleton Battleship. If you receive this, please reply."

"I am Han Tingbai, captain of the Silver Wolf Squadron under the Black Skeleton Battleship. If you receive this, please reply."

"I am Han Tingbai, captain of the Sirius Squadron under the Black Skeleton Battleship. If you receive this, please reply."

There was no response to the communication and no message was sent. The silver spaceship remained quietly in the same place, in silence.

Even Han Tingbai couldn't help but frown at the current situation. He is not an impatient person, but that doesn't mean he has no temper.

The other side repeatedly showed disrespect, was not punctual, temporarily changed the jump point, ignored the military's requests for information, and had no awareness as a soldier.

"What's going on over there?" Xia Wusi finally couldn't help but say, "Is he a general? He can't even give the most basic answer. Why should we come to pick them up? Luckily, there are only three of us in our team, otherwise the whole team would be turned away!"

Yang Fengyao walked up to him and said, "Captain, what should we do now?"

Han Tingbai said expressionlessly, "Drive over there."

The small black spaceship slowly approached, and an unidentified object floated past its transparent window. Xia Wusi saw clearly that it was a severed hand. She turned her head and looked at the other two with a grim expression.

Xia Wusi asked, "Do you see clearly what it is?"

Han Tingbai and Yang Fengyao also crowded in front of the transparent window. The closer they got, the more they felt something was amiss. Broken limbs and debris floated around the silver spaceship, and some bodies had already drifted elsewhere. It looked like the battle had already taken place some time ago.

It was not until they got around to the front and saw the cabin door of the silver spaceship opened that Han Tingbai's face completely gloomed.

As we were about to get closer, the spacecraft's intelligent computer issued a prompt:

"Alert! Alert! Abnormal energy fluctuations are occurring ahead!"

"The spacecraft's intelligent protection mode has been activated."

"Energy shield activated."

"Safe distance assessment has been initiated. Safe distance is: 19.2 kilometers. Automatic positioning..."

Xia Wusi reacted immediately and said, "No way, could it be that their spaceship... activated the self-destruct system?"

The spaceship retreated at high speed. Before they could retreat to a safe distance, the silver-white spaceship in the distance exploded, creating an explosion of light the same color as space. The energy generated by the explosion spread rapidly in the surrounding area, obscuring everything around it and engulfing the wreckage of the spaceship.

But the orange space was illuminated with an incomparable brightness. The energy generated by the ship's self-detonation was enormous, and the energy wave slammed into the Sirius team's ship, causing it to tilt sideways and the energy shield on its surface to ripple. Several people fell to the ground, maintaining their center of gravity to avoid injury.

When the three of them looked up again, everything within the explosion range had disappeared completely in the spacecraft's self-destruction.

Han Tingbai was silent for a moment. No team or private owner would activate a spacecraft's self-destruct function without endangering their own lives. Either there was no one on board, and they had set it up beforehand. Or everyone was dead, and someone wanted to destroy the bodies.

If they had arrived any later, they would have found nothing. But he knew that this matter was no longer within the control of his team, so he reached out and picked up the electronic board.

……

Captain Ning Yong of the Black Skeleton Battleship was out on patrol with his deputy, Xu Jiawen. When he received the video call, he said with a smug look on his face:

"Look, I told you to send the Sirius Team, and you told me it was a waste of talent. How could the other teams have reported back so quickly? They are truly the strongest team, and their mission must have been accomplished by now."

Xu Jiawen looked impatient, and Ning Yong answered the video call without waiting for his reply.

Han Tingbai's voice came out:

"Captain, the personnel we are trying to protect have disappeared."

Ning Yong's face darkened immediately after hearing this. He asked, "What did you say? What do you mean by disappeared?"

Ning Yong has always been a person who likes to joke, but he doesn't think this joke is funny.

The person who came this time was not an ordinary person, but had an extremely noble status.

If something happens to him in this place, not only will the reputation of the Black Skeleton Battleship plummet, but the two major families and military forces behind him will never let it go.

"What's going on?" Xu Jiawen was also shocked and spoke in a stern tone.

The camera cut to space, and the sky returned to its beautiful pale orange color. But there was nothing in front of them, no flying meteorites, not even a small piece of floating gravel, which felt very strange.

"This is the scene after the admiral's spaceship exploded." Han Tingbai's voice added from the side.

Ning Yong said: "Self-destruction, you mean his spaceship self-destructed? How is that possible!"

Xu Jiawen carefully observed the surroundings and said in a serious tone, "Where are you now? This isn't the place where we're supposed to meet you, right?"

"Our original plan was to wait there, but the admiral took a long time to arrive, so I went to the space jump station and retrieved the space jump records, tracking him here. When we first arrived here, his spaceship hadn't yet self-destructed. There were broken limbs and debris everywhere, and it looked like it had been through a hard battle. We circled around to the front of the spaceship and found that the cabin door had been opened. We wanted to get closer to observe it more clearly, but the spaceship had self-destructed."

Upon hearing the news, the two captains felt like they were hit by a blow.

It was supposed to be a simple guard mission, but such an unexpected event occurred. A Class A commander, a decorated noble, had mysteriously disappeared from their ranks, and this happened even after they had requested military protection.

What a shame!

While the Black Sea Battleship wasn't a renowned warship, it was considered top-tier in Galaxy N and had performed numerous feats. Even more troubling was the admiral's identity. If they couldn't find him or provide any leads, this matter would likely be disastrous.
