Shi Lang and the team were headed for the targeted solar system. They had come up with a new plan. That was to hijack a patrol ship from the enemy, coerce a few weak soldiers into maintaining the connection, and sneak inside the main house using the teleportation bridge on the enemy ship itself.
They only needed to bring the ship closer to the main planet. The plan had its risks, but it was going to be good. Shi Lang was pondering how to get close to an undetected enemy ship because their vessel was big enough to show on the radar from a reasonable distance.
Thinking about it, he came up with an idea. He prepared a space suit and asked Jenkins to capture some space rocks from the outside. The people were confused, but they did what they were asked. Tex had recovered from the trauma of the defeat, but he still did not say anything while the Terrans were planning.
