The Swan slowly parked into its dedicated berth. When Lin Xi stepped off the starship, several base officers came to greet her.
Lin Xi looked around and frowned: "Why on the berth? Didn't I already reserve a repair shop?"
A leading base officer said: "I'm very sorry, Colonel Lin. The repair shop has other temporary plans and your reservation has been cancelled."
"Cancel?"
"Yes."
Lin Xi looked at the other person. He was a strange colonel. His thin face had very deep lines and his eyes were sunken into the sockets. The light in his eyes was flickering, making it difficult to guess what he was thinking.
"Who canceled the reservation? Which starship was my seat given to?"
"What I can disclose is that your scheduled repair program is now allocated to three destroyers," the colonel said.
Lin Xi suddenly frowned, "Three destroyers? What can be repaired? Who made this damn decision?"
"This is General Xu, Colonel."
"Xu Zannian?"
"It's General Xu."
Lin Xi frowned even more tightly. Xu Zanian was responsible for the maintenance and supply of all starships in the base, and his position was second only to Lu Queyun. She vaguely felt that something was not right, so she immediately said: "Take me to see General Xu."
"Sorry, the general is in a meeting right now and his schedule is already full today."
Lin Xi's face turned cold and said, "He doesn't want to see me, right? Very good, let's meet him in the lieutenant general's office later!"
Lin Xi strode towards the base. Unexpectedly, the colonel reached out to stop her and said, "Colonel Lin, you cannot leave the port area for the time being."
Lin Xi looked at the colonel coldly and said, "You want to imprison me?"
The colonel said with a smile: "Of course we don't mean this. We just need you to stay at the port temporarily for some special reasons. Colonel Lin, I am also following orders, please don't make it difficult for me."
"what reason?"
"It's inconvenient to inform you."
"How long will I stay?"
"I haven't received a time limit yet, so I need to wait for notification. I will notify you as soon as the order comes."
The colonel looked polite on the surface, but there was a hint of teasing and ridicule in his eyes. His gaze gradually became wild, moving downwards from Lin Xi's face.
Lin Xi took off his helmet and asked, "Who gave this order?"
"General Xu's order."
Lin Xi sneered, "When did General Xu give himself a promotion? From any angle, he has no right to control me. Get out of my way!"
The colonel stood still and said, "Colonel Lin, let me remind you that the consequences of impulsiveness are very serious."
Lin Xi looked at him and said word by word: "Don't you understand what I said? Then I'll say it again, get out!"
The corner of the colonel's eyes twitched a few times and said: "Colonel Lin, if you persist in your obsession, I'm afraid I will have to use some means."
Lin Xi ignored him and strode forward.
The colonel's eyes flashed coldly, and he shouted: "Lin Xi resists arrest! Come on, take her down!"
Four soldiers behind the colonel rushed out, surrounded Lin Xi, and took action at the same time, grabbing Lin Xi's shoulders and hands. They move quickly and strike like lightning. They are all masters of fighting!
The colonel smiled evilly, licked his lower lip with the tip of his tongue, and said, "Lin Xi, do you think I don't know your level of fighting skills? These people are all prepared for you. Now it's too late for you to stay in the port. I will let you try my methods and see whether it is me or..."
Before the colonel could finish his sentence, Lin Xi suddenly arrived in front of him and punched him hard in the abdomen! The colonel felt as if he had been hit by a power hammer. The shock-proof function of the armor had no effect at all, and his stomach and intestines seemed to be completely entangled.
The colonel opened his mouth, wanting to spit out everything he had eaten in the past few days. But he was wearing a helmet at the moment, and everything was vomited in the helmet! Through the food residue and flowing juice, the colonel vaguely saw the four fighting masters all falling to the ground, motionless, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
After the punch, Lin Xi did not pursue him, but gave the colonel a gentle push on the head. The colonel fell on his back, and then his limbs twitched erratically. Lin Xi was a little surprised when she saw the visor covered with vomit on the inside, and said: "With such a small body, what can you do?"
Lin Xi snorted, turned around and said to the crew behind him: "Throw these guys into the trash can."
The adjutant asked cautiously: "Aren't you going to be locked up in the temporary prison on the ship first?"
Lin Xi said calmly: "Then you still have to take care of the food."
The adjutant called to the crew and lifted up several guys who looked like dead dogs. The crew's eyes suddenly fell on the colonel's abdomen, and there was a clear fist mark dented in the armor in that area! Although the armor is thin, it is made of high-quality alloys. If you can punch a punch mark on it, how powerful must this punch be? A ton, or more?
The crew carried the colonel and his men and literally threw them into the trash can next to the berth.
A quarter of an hour later, Lin Xi stood in Lu Queyun's office, looking coldly at the slightly bald middle-aged general opposite.
The lieutenant general also stood, leaning forward slightly, with his hands on the desk, looking at the middle-aged general, and asked: "General Xu, what's going on?"
General Wei Bald did not appear panicked at all, and said: "I have detailed calculations that prove that the total combat power of three destroyers is far greater than that of one light cruiser. You are very clear about the material and energy situation of the base at the moment. How can you use the limited resources effectively?" It is my duty to maximize. So I canceled Colonel Lin Xi's starship maintenance plan and replaced it with three destroyers that were in urgent need of repair."
Lin Xi sneered: "Are you saying that three wolves can kill a tiger?"
"Absolutely." General Xu replied calmly.
Lin Xi was too lazy to talk to him and said directly to Lu Queyun: "I can't tolerate a guy who has never commanded a starship battle to tell me what to do. Lieutenant General, if he still wants to express his opinions on fleet operations , I’m leaving.”
Xu Zannian still said in a leisurely pace: "Colonel Lin, I have to remind you that you have no experience in fleet operations. So far, you have commanded single ships."
Lin Xi said with a hey, "General Xu, do you want to take a starship out to fight for a few times?"
Lu Queyun frowned and said, "That's enough! Lin Xi, please control your current emotions!"
Lin Xi took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, but this is wartime, and the lives and deaths of countless soldiers are at stake. I don't think you need to be polite at this time, especially to some people with bad intentions."
Lu Queyun raised his voice a little and said, "Lin Xi! Watch your words! General Xu has worked with me for ten years and has been working hard."
"People change."
Lin Xi stared at the two people in front of him with burning eyes.
