Shadows of the Deep Space Chapter 1686 538: Beginning (Part 2)

"General Su Ming, can we take a picture together?"

.....

All of a sudden, countless girls squealed with thrill at Su Ming.

These girls showed no fear towards Su Ming whatsoever; on the contrary, they buzzed with ecstasy like devoted fans encountering their idol.

Timmy, who had been in the middle of her speech, caught the uproar, turned her head, and felt baffled by the massive crowd huddled in one spot.

"What’s going on?"

"It seems General Su Ming is here."

Right then, Deputy Zhao Wen approached Timmy and informed her.

Timmy froze in shock at the news, her expression brimming with astonishment as she whispered to herself.

"Why would General Su Ming be here?"

"I’m not sure."

Deputy Zhao Wen shook her head while replying.

Timmy drew in a deep breath before heading towards Su Ming.

Su Ming noticed Timmy approaching at that instant and promptly flashed a grin, addressing the cluster of girls.

"Please make way, I’m here to find Timmy!"

"Okay."

With reluctance, the girls parted to create a path.

Timmy strode directly up to Su Ming, offered a crisp salute, and declared.

"General Su Ming!"

"Timmy, you’ve been promoted, haven’t you?"

Noticing Timmy’s Vice Admiral uniform, Su Ming smiled warmly as he commented.

"Yes, is there something you need from me?"

Timmy gave a small nod in affirmation.

"Actually, there’s nothing much; I just wanted to invite you back."

A broad grin spread across Su Ming’s face as he spoke.

The Grey Angel might not be completely fixed yet, but Su Ming commanded two starships without sufficient captains on board.

As such, Su Ming boldly aimed to lure Timmy back to his side.

Timmy stood there dumbfounded by Su Ming’s invitation, yet before she could respond.

General Alula strode up, grumbled at Su Ming, and remarked.

"General Su Ming, you’re being a bit too much! Coming over here to poach people, you should know Timmy is our Ninth Legion’s Deputy Corps Commander now."

Though startled to learn of Timmy’s rise to Deputy Corps Commander, Su Ming kept his smile and replied.

"General Alula, the Federation values freedom, even if Timmy is the Deputy Corps Commander, you can’t force her to stay; you have to respect her wishes!"

"Alright, Timmy, do you want to stay or go with General Su Ming?"

Alula turned to Timmy with the question.

After inhaling deeply, Timmy’s eyes glistened faintly while gazing at Su Ming, then she beamed radiantly and announced.

"I want to go with General Su Ming!"

"Welcome home!"

Su Ming offered his hand to Timmy with a joyful smile.

"I hope you will take care of me in the future!"

Timmy grasped Su Ming’s hand eagerly and replied with delight.

The surrounding female soldiers witnessed Timmy departing alongside Su Ming and eagerly offered their services.

"General Su Ming, can I join your unit?"

"Yeah, I want to go with you too!"

...

Chaos erupted swiftly as numerous individuals surged forward to pitch themselves to Su Ming, even including various school-level officers.

Alula grew flustered at the sight and hastily pressed Su Ming.

"General Su Ming, you’ve achieved your goal, please take them away quickly, otherwise it’ll be chaos here."

"Alright, we’re leaving!"

With the disorder spiraling, Su Ming hurriedly departed alongside Timmy.

As Su Ming and Timmy’s figures receded into the distance, Alula let out an involuntary sigh.

Just then, a nearby subordinate queried in bewilderment.

"Lord Alula, are you just going to let Timmy leave like that? How will you explain to City Lord Alicia?"

"Explain what? General Su Ming killed that bastard Bailut and avenged Lord Annabeth; I’m not even done being grateful. Besides, Timmy wasn’t happy here, so why not let her go?"

Alula responded with composure.

"True."

....

Shortly afterward, Su Ming maneuvered the V Generation Mecha·Grey Hunter Envoy, hurtling off into the horizon.

"Sir, where are we going?"

Timmy inquired with curiosity.

"You’ll know soon."

Su Ming answered smilingly.

When the Grey Hunter Envoy soared past a mountain peak, the enormous Star Destroyer·Thunder Extreme came into Timmy’s view, anchored amid the blood-red wasteland with four colossal mechanical clamps securing its underside.

"Thunder Extreme!"

Timmy cried out in astonishment.

"That’s right!"

Su Ming guided the mecha swiftly towards it.

In no time, the Grey Hunter Envoy slipped into the Thunder Extreme’s hangar, where Rhein and his crew stood ready in anticipation.

Clang!

The Grey Hunter’s cockpit hatch swung open, allowing Su Ming to descend first by floating down.

"Boss, you’re here!"

Rhein and the rest saluted with respect.

"Hmm, take a look at who this is."

Su Ming remarked grinningly.

Rhein and his companions gaped in surprise, precisely as Timmy descended from the cockpit herself.

"Timmy!"

Rhein and the others shouted in amazement.

"Hello everyone!"

Timmy greeted them cheerfully.

"Lord Timmy, are you coming back?"

Rhein and the team asked with elation.

"Yes, please take care of me in the future."

Timmy replied smilingly.

"That’s great."

Joy lit up everyone’s faces.

Li Menghan handled command capably enough, yet she fell just short of Timmy’s expertise, and a captain was desperately needed at present.

"No more talking about that now, is everything ready?"

Su Ming questioned.

"Yes, the supplies from the Military Department have arrived."

Rhein informed Su Ming.

"Let’s go."

Su Ming guided Rhein and the others to the mobile platform.

....

Not long after.

Su Ming and his group reached the Thunder Extreme Central Control Room.

"General Su Ming, Lord Timmy."

Li Menghan and the others blinked in surprise before bursting into cheers.

"Everyone, long time no see!"

Timmy beamed at them.

"Let me say briefly, from today onwards, Timmy officially returns, everyone, please give a round of applause!"
