Shadows of the Deep Space

"Yes, Captain!"

One by one, soldiers clad in grey metallic exoskeleton armor, "Iron Shell," and holding blast guns responded solemnly.

And with that, they dispersed to their respective duties.

The numerous passengers and students on the scene, upon seeing the soldiers disembark, all stopped complaining and stood obediently.

Su Ming watched these soldiers, also secretly admiring within his heart, Starlight City truly deserved its reputation; its rescue team was far superior to that of the Thirteenth District in every aspect.

However, after the soldiers had finished disembarking, a middle-aged man in a well-fitting deep blue suit, with a red tie, neatly combed hair, and gleaming leather shoes, came down.

He was followed by several subordinates dressed in work uniforms.

This middle-aged man raised his hand and pressed the convenient amplification device pinned to his collar, then spoke very apologetically.

"Dear respected passengers, I am the representative of the Federation Orbital Department, Zhang Ye. I’m very sorry to have caused you all such a fright, and I sincerely apologize. For anyone injured in this incident, we will fully cover medical expenses and compensation for lost wages! As for anyone who unfortunately passed away, the Orbital Department will also compensate and handle matters to the best of our ability."

Upon hearing Zhang Ye’s words, the anger that had been smoldering in people’s hearts somewhat subsided. After all, there’s a saying that goes, "Don’t slap a smiling face."
