The fact that Ji Xinghe was going to engage in a mecha disarmoring battle with the ape didn't startle anyone. Even the members of the Xinghe Squad were temporarily unaware of what he was planning to do.
In the strictest sense, the real spectators were only four people.
Wang Wei, Liu Yingzi, Ji Rongxinyue, and Star Moon.
Wang Wei, the person in charge of the fifth base, was responsible for the prisoners from the Vulture Mountain incident. Without his permission, Ji Xinghe couldn't interact with these prisoners, and neither could anyone else.
Except for the guards.
Liu Yingzi was the translator, she had been transferred to the fifth base due to Ji Xinghe. Issues mandating communication with the apes required her presence, and she was obliged to be present.
An ordinary translator would find it hard to hold the rank of Lieutenant. All the translators of the Federation on the alien planet also bore the duty of interrogation, secrecy, and preventing enemy espionage, among others.
