Returning home, Wang Dong took a brief rest.
In the afternoon, he packed a simple bag and left at exactly three o'clock.
A magnetic levitation RV was already parked at the door.
"Youth Tide Travel Agency is at your service. Are you Mr. Wang Dong? According to your online reservation, this Z-3 luxury RV will be at your disposal for the next fifteen days."
The driver, wearing a neat uniform, got out of the car, politely verified Wang Dong's identity code, and then handed the keys to the RV to Wang Dong.
Although it was called a luxury RV in name, it was actually just an ordinary RV.
The price was not cheap. The rental for half a month was nearly 80,000 yuan, almost equivalent to Wang Dong's entire net income from one mining trip.
He had to spend this money.
Wu Hao Ze's caravan had already set sail, leaving the mining asteroid belt.
The Jin family's warship followed closely behind.
Behind them were a group of hyenas, including the Empty Shark Trading Company and other local forces.
Wang Dong was very interested in this battle and couldn't miss it.
Not to mention that both the Jin family and Wu Hao Ze were on his target list.
The shipborne module that Wu Hao Ze's caravan had acquired this time was also something Wang Dong was determined to get.
The cosmic expanse is vast and boundless.
To track a certain caravan, you can't be too far away.
Since Wu Hao Ze and the others had already set off, Wang Dong had to follow them immediately.
Today was only July 14th, and Wang Dong's mining date was still a few days away. If he waited until then to set out in pursuit of Wu Hao Ze's caravan, he wouldn't be able to find them.
Moreover, Wang Dong couldn't be sure when and where the Jin family's warship would choose to attack Wu Hao Ze.
This process couldn't be covered up by the two or three days of mining.
Therefore, Wang Dong simply canceled his next mining date and instead went on a road trip under the guise of a vacation.
Getting into the car, Wang Dong started the RV and left the city.
The mining planet was not a tourist planet or anything like that.
However, its population was not large, and the urbanized area was even smaller. The planet's surface was covered in vast expanses of undeveloped land.
Moreover, before it was set foot upon by humans, no indigenous life had been discovered on the mining planet. The subsequent ecological environment was also gradually cultivated.
There were still many places to visit and enjoy.
At the same time, the RV was also equipped with light self-defense weapons and enough supplies for half a month, providing basic security.
Then, through his personal smart terminal, Wang Dong changed his personal status to "Summer vacation has arrived, taking a few days off to relax, leave a message if you need anything."
A few comments popped up immediately.
Chen Lin Feng: "Same here, same here, I'm going to the bar for thirty hours first."
Li Zi Qing: "Envy the freedom of being a freelancer, being able to control your own time~"
Ding Ling: "Don't overwork yourself, your health is important!"
...
Wang Dong glanced at them one by one. There was nothing he had to respond to, so he put them aside.
At nine-thirty in the evening, Wang Dong had already driven far away from the city.
"This distance is just about right."
Wang Dong mumbled.
He parked the car and got out.
He walked out a few dozen meters and looked up at the sky.
Without any light or sound, an armed mech was silently dropped beside Wang Dong.
It was the Pond Number.
With its Mirage System activated, the Pond Number, easily evaded the alert lines above the mining planet, landed on the planet, and came to greet Wang Dong.
In its stealth mode, the originally conspicuous magnetic traction beams were also completely invisible.
With Wang Dong's commands and help, the armed mech, which was originally responsible for security on the Pond Number, put on the hooded outfit that Wang Dong had prepared and sat in the RV.
Then, Wang Dong removed his personal smart terminal and put it on the armed mech.
The decoy was in place.
For an armed mech, basic driving skills were nothing more than a minor ability.
Wang Dong set the instructions for the armed mech.
In Wang Dong's absence, the armed mech would drive to different scenic spots every day according to the preset instructions, and spend the night in the wild, to cover Wang Dong's whereabouts.
At the same time, Wang Dong also set up contingency plans.
If an unlikely event occurred, such as robbers or natural disasters, the armed mech would prioritize escape.
Disappearance was always easier to explain than leaving behind a wrecked armed mech.
Then, through the magnetic traction beam, Wang Dong boarded the Pond Number.
He didn't leave immediately, but instead controlled the Pond Number to continue circling in the air for almost an hour, during which there was no unusual activity, and the sky survey radar did not detect anything.
Then, the Pond Number raised its bow and accelerated out of the gravitational pull of the mining planet, entering the real universe.
This was also the first time in many days that the Pond Number had left the protection of the asteroid belt mine.
The star sea voyage officially began.
The Pond Number, which remained in stealth mode, accelerated away from the mining planet. Before the twenty-four-hour duration of the stealth mode expired, Wang Dong found a suitable location and exited stealth mode in advance.
