After resting for a night, they assembled at the entrance of the teaching building the next morning and went to find the mercenary team they had agreed to meet with before.
The mercenaries didn't care much about the reduction in Liu Hang's group's size; it was essentially an additional escort mission they picked up conveniently, and fewer people meant less trouble for them.
With Liu Hang present, they didn't have to take a public spaceship and could directly board Liu Hang's private vessel.
The spaceship wasn't as fast as an aircraft, and given that the Liuluo Star was near the border, it would take two days and nights without any stops in between.
In the spaceship, bunk beds were installed, with Qu Tong's bunk directly opposite Song Ke's.
After the girl from the Pharmaceutical Department left, she and Song Ke became the only two females in the team, so naturally, they were arranged to be together.
