Chapter 2437 Return to Earth (1)

The Dreamer hovered low above lunar orbit, white light flowing slowly down the spacecraft's exterior, illuminating the entire dim space.

The atmosphere in the cabin was subtly tense.

They can fight to the death together, but when it comes to dividing up the spoils, they won't give an inch.

Zhang Yi and his group had just returned from the Radiant Moon Empire. Resources were piled up in a corner of his alternate dimension, a massive mountain of supplies emanating from them, shimmering with a faint, mesmerizing energy.

Saladin, King Arthur, and the others had their eyes burning with excitement. Now that the mission was accomplished, everyone was ready to divide the spoils.

Morgan, with a cigar dangling from his lips, half-closed his eyes and a signature smile playing on his lips.

"Brother Chaos, I think you've really struck gold this time you've come back."

"Just say what you want to say." Zhang Yi leaned against the cabin wall, a faint smile on his face.

Morgan shrugged, his smile widening. "Nothing, just wanted to remind you that we're allies. You've taken the lead, and we've contributed our efforts; shouldn't we share these resources?"

"Of course, you'll definitely take the lion's share, and we have no objections. But considering how wealthy the two great empires of the Moon People are, even if you only give us two or three percent, it would be enough for everyone to have a good meal!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Saladin walked over, his black armor reflecting the light of the cabin lamps, a smile on his face:

“I agree with Morgan’s suggestion. After all, we lost many brothers in that battle in the Dark Sun Forest.”

King Arthur nodded, his expression as steady as a mountain.

"Chaos, Morgan and Saladin are right. The allocation of these resources must be fair."

The air in the cabin was somewhat heavy.

Morgan's smile remained unchanged, but a shrewd glint flashed in his eyes.

Saladin and King Arthur were clearly not there to coerce them, but rather because everyone had fought so hard, risking their lives and losing many men, and they certainly couldn't give up their deserved reward.

Zhang Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, remained silent for a moment, and then suddenly spoke: "Of course I haven't forgotten the benefits that our allies deserve. However—we can't touch these resources now."

"Can't move?" Morgan raised an eyebrow. "Are you planning to leave them all here alone?"

Zhang Yi smiled faintly: "We'll split it up in two days."

"Why?" Saladin frowned.

"Because not everyone has arrived yet."

Zhang Yi turned around, his silhouette stretched long by the cabin lights. "On this journey, besides us, there are some others who should also be arriving."

"Who?" King Arthur asked.

"Fremont and the Bharatas haven't appeared yet! We can't be sure if they've definitely died in the Dark Sun Forest."

"So wait two more days. If they still haven't returned after two days, it means they're dead. Then I will give their share to their country when I get back."

The people inside the cabin were all stunned at the same time, and the air seemed to freeze for a few seconds.

"You mean Morana and Indra?"

Morgan slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, a complex expression on his face. "Those two guys aren't pushovers either. Especially that woman, Morana, she's really ruthless!"

"The last time I saw her in the Strait of Bering, she single-handedly froze three fleets to death. If she comes, this place might turn into an ice field."

Zhang Yi's gaze remained calm as always: "Who knows? Most of the threats from the Dark Sun Forest have already been eliminated by us. If they're not dead, we'll wait for them to return."

"I'll use a signal flare to show them the way. It's only two days, no need to rush, let's wait a bit longer!"

After Zhang Yi said that, Morgan and the others couldn't say anything, since they had all come together.

Even if someone dies in battle without making any contribution, you should still share some resources with them.

This is a fundamental principle.

"Alright then, we'll wait two more days."

Morgan nodded, and the others naturally had no objections either.

But just then, a voice came from the corner of the room.

"Chaos, there's something I'd like to talk to you about."

Zhang Yi looked in the direction of the voice and found that the person who spoke was Gao Changkong.

His eyes held a complex expression.

Zhang Yi raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "Speak."

He knew, of course, about Gao Changkong's attack on Di Shitian. Gao Changkong was taking a gamble, but unfortunately, despite his meticulous planning, he ultimately couldn't overcome the opponent's fate.

Now, he has missed his best opportunity. If it weren't for the sneak attack, it wouldn't have been easy for him to defeat Indra.

Therefore, it's best not to face him.

Gao Changkong looked around and said in a low voice, "I want to go back to Earth first."

Everyone was stunned.

"What?" Saladin raised an eyebrow. "You've only been back a short while, and you're already in such a hurry to leave?"

Gao Changkong gave a wry smile and shook his head, saying, "I have some special reasons. Anyway, Chaos, give me what's due to me first. Then give me a spaceship. That shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?"

"As for how much to give me, you can decide!"

He acted very magnanimously, but that was only because he knew that with Zhang Yi's current strength, how resources were allocated depended entirely on his mood.

Zhang Yi monopolized all the resources and didn't share any with anyone else. Everyone could only sulk in their hearts, and who would dare to break ties with him?

Zhang Yi glanced at him for a moment, then nodded: "Fine. Since you want to leave, I won't force you to stay."

Small spaceships are indeed not a problem for Zhang Yi.

The Dreamer has more than a dozen escape pods, enough to accommodate about ten people to return to Earth.

However, he will deduct the cost of the escape pod from Gao Changkong's share of resources.

"I will arrange a spaceship for you, with ample energy and a modified navigation system that can bypass the main space passage and return directly to Earth's orbit. At the same time, your supplies will be placed directly on the spaceship."

Soon, a small spaceship slowly left the lunar surface and headed towards Earth.

High in the sky, Gao Changkong stood in front of the porthole, looking at the ground with a complicated expression.

Gu Man and Batu stood on either side of him, looking out the porthole at them on the moon.

Gu Man's expression remained calm, but a hint of worry was faintly visible in her eyes.

Batu, carrying a heavy energy gun, waved in Zhang Yi's direction and grinned, "Chaos, we're on our way! See you on Earth!"

The spaceship roared through the universe, turning into a point of light and disappearing into the starry sky.

Zhang Yi then sent the Dreamer to the edge of the Dark Sun Forest.

Beyond the Dark Sun Forest, the wind howled, and gray mist swirled and rolled among the rocks, like the breathing of a sleeping giant.

Zhang Yi and the others stood on the deck outside the spaceship, and silver signal flares were released one after another. The blazing beams of light tore through the sky and shot straight into the heavens.

Soon, a signal to summon survivors was formed high above the Dark Sun Forest.
