After enjoying the food, Zhao Wan'er led Su Lan and the others out of the hangar.

Teacher Qin had initially refused.

But upon hearing it was for bathing, Teacher Qin sniffed herself, and after a bout of dry heaving, chose to leave the hangar with Zhao Wan'er.

Watching Zhao Wan'er lead some people out of the hangar, the teachers and students of the Two Academies present were already used to it.

This was the Commander's sister, so being here was like being at home.

"Such a beautiful and spacious Starship," Teacher Qin exclaimed, her eyes lighting up as she looked at the Starship's corridor.

She had seen the interior designs of other T3 Interstellar Warships, which often sacrificed comfort for improved combat performance.

They simply couldn't compare to the Interstellar Warship before her.

"In the crew quarters of the dormitory area, even the worst rooms are four-person, and they even come with their own bathrooms!" Teacher Qin was led by Zhao Wan'er into the dormitory area and saw the layout inside.

She was even more amazed by the 'luxury' of this Starship's design.

One must know how much weaponry and ammunition could be stored if these spaces were used for that purpose!

"This is the Starship's bathhouse. I've put your change of clothes here. You can shower over there, take a bath here, and there are also automatic massage chairs and sunbathing areas," a crew member leading the way introduced to Zhao Wan'er and the others.

"This is even more complete than the T2 Queen Bee!" Zhao Wan'er said in surprise.

Behind her, everyone, including Chu Xuan, was dumbfounded.

Su Lan pinched Xue Xiaoxiao's cheek.

"Ouch... Sister Su Lan, why did you pinch me!" Xue Xiaoxiao said aggrievedly, covering her face.

Su Lan explained, "I just wanted to see if I was seeing things. Is this really an Interstellar Warship? Not a luxury interstellar cruise ship?"

Xue Xiaoxiao stomped her foot in frustration, "Then pinch your own face."

"It hurts."

Xue Xiaoxiao...

"I didn't expect the treatment on Zhao Chen's Starship to be so good, I even want to join the military on his Starship," Chu Xuan said, both amused and exasperated.

Afterward, the group of beauties began to enjoy their favorite moment.

They hadn't bathed for three days, and combined with the smell of Zerg fluid on them, they hadn't cared when their lives were in danger.

But now that they realized it, they felt goosebumps all over, and their whole bodies were uncomfortable! 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

It took them over an hour to completely mask the smell on their bodies.

Zhao Wan'er suggested they could go to the temporary dormitory rooms to rest.

But Teacher Qin and Su Lan refused. Xue Xiaoxiao was a little disappointed, while Chu Xuan was indifferent.

So, everyone returned to the hangar.

When the teachers and students of the Two Academies saw Zhao Wan'er and the others return, refreshed and clean, they were incredibly envious. Seeing their renewed appearance, they knew what they had been doing.

Especially the women from the Two Academies, they were incredibly jealous!

They wanted to bathe too!

The moment she walked into the hangar, Zhao Wan'er frowned slightly.

She hadn't noticed it before, but now she smelled an indescribable odor in the hangar. She finally understood why her brother had said she smelled bad earlier.

Because... this smell was truly foul.

But seeing that Teacher Qin and Su Lan still had to stay in the hangar, she could only endure the smell and wait there.

At this moment, the T3 Blizzard-class Light Interstellar Battlecruiser welcomed the Imperial Army Fleet.

After the T3 Blizzard arrived in the safe zone, Zhao Chen sent out a message that he had rescued the teachers and students of the Two Academies.

The Imperial Army Fleet urgently dispatched a fleet to rendezvous.

It had to be said, when asked to rescue people from the Interstellar Insectoids-controlled areas, they all dragged their feet, coming up with various excuses.

But now, to pick up people, their efficiency was incredibly fast.

After discussing with the opposing Commander, Zhao Chen decided to first head to a Starport in the safe zone of the Water Lily Star System, transfer the teachers and students of the Two Academies from the Starship, and then have another Starship accompany the T3 Blizzard to the Starport in the neighboring Lantian Star System.

Zhao Chen did not refuse this arrangement; he was eager for these guys on his Starship to leave as soon as possible.

Moreover, if he took them through interstellar frontier space, it would mean providing them with hibernation pods.

He wasn't short on hibernation pods.

In addition to individual hibernation pods, there were also collective hibernation pods to accommodate situations with too many personnel.

But the thought of letting these people go into the collective hibernation pods... Zhao Chen was very disgusted. The smell from each of them... his collective hibernation pods would be practically ruined.

Conversely, either he would have to let them clean up and change into new clothes like Zhao Wan'er and the others, which would be too much trouble. So, this arrangement was the most appropriate.

On the way to the Water Lily Star System Starport, the news of the rescue of the teachers and students of the Two Academies quickly spread.

A Commander from North Star Academy rescued the teachers and students of the Two Academies.

With just one blue-and-white unidentified T3 Interstellar Battlecruiser?

At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on this student Commander named Zhao Chen, and on that T3 Interstellar Battlecruiser.

The level of attention even surpassed that of the rescued teachers and students of the Two Academies!

Governor's Mansion of Azure Star Region

"Zhao Chen? T3 Interstellar Battlecruiser?" The Governor of Azure Starfield, upon hearing this intelligence, asked seriously, "Are you sure this person only had this one Starship when he entered earlier?"

"Indeed, only this one Starship. And we also have intelligence from North Star Academy. When he departed, this person indeed only brought this one Interstellar Warship!" his subordinate reported.

The Governor of Azure Starfield narrowed his eyes, "Rescuing people from such a dangerous area with just one T3 Interstellar Warship..."

"Could it just be luck?" the subordinate tentatively asked.

"Luck?" The Governor of Azure Starfield snorted, "Only a fool would think this is luck. I'm certain that many forces in the Starlight Empire are now eyeing this kid named Zhao Chen.

And look at this data... A t2 black rhino-class interstellar heavy assault frigate that can single-handedly take on a T2 Purple Rose-class Medium Interstellar Battlecruiser!

Assembling three old Starships into an assembled Starship with a speed of one hundred stellar knots!

This kid is definitely not ordinary!

It's even highly possible that he, or some organization or research lab behind him, developed this T3 Interstellar Battlecruiser!

Investigate him!

After the teachers and students of the Two Academies disembark, send people to investigate carefully. I want to know every detail of how Zhao Chen rescued them!

Then, once he arrives in the Lantian Star System, find a way to control him! Understand?"

"Yes!" The subordinate nodded and went to carry out the order.

Such things also happened at the leadership levels of many other forces.

Zhao Chen's appeal even surpassed the Zerg disaster that occurred in the Water Lily Star System this time!

On the way to the Water Lily Star System Starport, Zhao Chen, under the pretext of a warp drive malfunction and only able to use conventional engines, sailed for five days.

Only then did he arrive at the Water Lily Star System Starport.

As the hangar door opened, the teachers and students of the Two Academies looked at the reception personnel waiting for them at the Starport outside, as if they were seeing their own family.

The reception personnel saw many teachers and students from the Two Academies crying as they ran out, thinking it was an emotional reaction after surviving a great disaster.

Little did they know, they were heartbroken over their wallets!

In these five days, many of them couldn't resist ordering a few more meals. How could they not be heartbroken!

Bridge

Zhao Chen looked at the teachers and students of the Two Academies leaving his Starship on the screen, his expression unreadable.

He knew that these teachers and students of the Two Academies would soon be secretly contacted by many people for discussions, and the entire rescue process of the T3 Blizzard would be relayed to those important figures.

Including the glorious battle where the T3 Blizzard annihilated one T3 Insectoid Hive Mothership, severely damaged another T3 Insectoid Hive Mothership, and broke through the Zerg swarm!

A storm, centered around him, Zhao Chen, was brewing.

"The pawns have all been placed. Now is the time to see the outcome," Zhao Chen thought to himself.
