124: It’s not pretty, but it’s three billion dollars

The United spacecraft is missing!

This made everyone pause for a moment.

Such a large spacecraft, missing?

Song Changming's expression became a bit strange, and he pressed, "Classmate spacecraft, you said the United spacecraft is missing, what's the specific situation?"

"Responding to Aerospace Base, we are also unclear about the specific situation. Just as we were about to land on the lunar surface, that strong stream of light struck the United spacecraft. The burst of white light blocked our vision, and the accompanying strong electromagnetic storm also took all monitoring equipment offline."

"By the time we could see what was outside, the United spacecraft was already gone."

The reply from the Classmate spacecraft left people even more bewildered.

That was a spaceship, and it just vanished?

Inside the Aerospace Base, everyone's expressions also turned strange.

Zhao Zizhen and Ye Guhong also looked at each other.

A perfectly fine spacecraft just mysteriously disappeared like that, which sent a shiver down their spines.

"Classmate spacecraft, how are you now? Was your spacecraft affected, and can it still return?" Song Changming asked again.

"Responding to Aerospace Base, our spacecraft is safe and sound and can complete the moon exploration mission as scheduled and then return."

"Then be careful. There is a high possibility of unknown forces on the moon. If there's anything unusual, please return immediately," Song Changming instructed.

"Received. We are now beginning the lunar surface exploration according to the pre-planned schedule."

The two Astronauts from the Classmate spacecraft saluted and began to gradually leave the spacecraft with their exploration equipment to conduct the moon exploration.

At the same time, the Unpretty and Little Eagle Sauce people were completely in disarray.

Their massive United spacecraft, just gone like that??

"Those two Astronauts from Shangxia must be hiding some important information!"

An Unpretty executive stared at the worldwide live broadcast screen and said coldly,

"Our spacecraft absolutely cannot disappear for no reason!"

The Little Eagle Sauce people also stared intently at the live broadcast screen, then fell silent for a moment, and slowly said, "That's for sure. With the worldwide live broadcast now, their people definitely won't reveal the real inside story."

"Damn it, why didn't that stream of light attack Shangxia's spacecraft!" The Unpretty executive angrily slammed the table.

"Now is not the time for anger. We need to find a way to know exactly what happened at that time!"

The Little Eagle Sauce executive turned to look at the Unpretty people and slowly said,

"Now only Shangxia's two Astronauts know the situation at the time, so I think it's necessary for us to contact Shangxia's officials."

"Hmm? Contact Shangxia?" The Unpretty executive's face changed. "Contacting them now, doesn't that mean we're begging them?"

"Yes, we are begging! But we have no choice but to beg! We must know the specific information about the spacecraft's disappearance!" The Little Eagle Sauce executive stared coldly at the Unpretty people.

The Unpretty executive's eyes darkened.

Beg Shangxia?

This was unacceptable to them!

For over a hundred years, it had always been others begging them. When had they ever had to beg others?

Even more, the one they had to beg was not just anyone, but Shangxia!

This made the Unpretty people even more uncomfortable!

After a long silence, the Unpretty executive reluctantly said, "Even if we go and beg, they might not necessarily tell us the truth."

"Whether they say it or not is one thing, but we must ask," the Little Eagle Sauce person said firmly.

Then, seeing the reluctant expressions of the Unpretty crowd, he added, "If you don't want to beg, do you think we do?"

This made the Unpretty executives collectively fall silent, then they snorted lightly, "Even if they are willing to tell us, they probably won't tell us for free."

"For the United spacecraft, paying some price is worth it, and it's necessary!" The Little Eagle Sauce person emphasized.

Finally, after five minutes of discussion, the Unpretty and Little Eagle Sauce reached an agreement.

To contact Shangxia in the joint name of both countries.

Domestically, the Alien Management Bureau.

Ye Guhong and Zhao Zizhen were currently on a call with Song Changming when they suddenly received a report that the Unpretty and Little Eagle Sauce had made a joint call.

This directly astonished Ye Guhong and the others, and then their faces showed surprise.

"Those two countries actually made a joint call?"

The three looked at each other, all very surprised.

Then, Zhao Zizhen started to laugh, "They can't sit still. The call is probably to ask us for detailed information about their spacecraft's disappearance."

"Heh, so there's a day when they have to beg us. I really want to see what their faces look like now." Song Changming also couldn't help but laugh.

To make the Unpretty and Little Eagle Sauce people jointly come begging, this was a first!

It must be said, this feeling was quite refreshing!

Ye Guhong pondered, "Their call this time must be because they believe our Astronauts have internal encrypted communications with us, and they want to obtain specific information about their spacecraft's disappearance."

At this point, Ye Guhong looked at Zhao Zizhen and Song Changming, "If we say we don't, they definitely won't believe us, but if we say we do, we actually have nothing to provide."

Zhao Zizhen frowned slightly, "Anyway, we really don't have it, so let's just tell the truth. However, I think before telling the truth, we can take the opportunity to extort something from them first!"

Hearing this, Song Changming also chuckled, "Old Zhao is right. It's rare for them to come begging us. If we don't take the opportunity to extort a hefty sum from them, it would be too unfair to ourselves."

"As long as we tell the truth, whether they believe it or not is their own business!"

"..." Ye Guhong gave them both a speechless look, thought for a moment, and nodded, "I'll go deal with them first."

Afterward, Ye Guhong exited the call and switched to a call with the Little Eagle Sauce and Unpretty people.

And this call lasted for ten minutes!

Ten minutes later, Ye Guhong hung up the phone with a hint of satisfaction and rejoined Song Changming's internal call channel.

"Old Ye, how did the talks go?"

Zhao Zizhen and Song Changming immediately asked.

Ye Guhong, however, showed a meaningful smile and slowly uttered three words: "You guess!"

...

On the other side, the Unpretty and Little Eagle Sauce people were already furious.

"Damn Shangxia! They actually demanded 3 billion worth of rare resources from us!"

"And that's not all, in the end, they said there was no internal connection at all! They really don't know how the United spacecraft disappeared!"

"That's 3 billion in resources!"

The Unpretty executive was so angry that he directly picked up a chair and slammed it on the table.

"This is blackmail!"

"This is blatant blackmail!!"

"No!"

"This is fraud!!"

The Little Eagle Sauce people were also half-dead with anger.

After Ye Guhong connected their call, he had been vague about the United spacecraft matter.

Only after they promised enough resources did Ye Guhong finally state that there was no internal connection at all!

What else could this be but fraud?!
