Li Ruiqi reported to Spade, "The last transport ship has returned; all teams that could be contacted are back. However, more than forty-three military teams and sixty-three exploration company teams have completely lost contact. The odds of their annihilation are over ninety percent, but we can't rule out the possibility of survivors."
Spade took a deep breath and said, "I officially declare the Thief Plan concluded. I feel deeply sorry for our comrades who couldn't return. Set sail!"
It wasn't that Spade was heartless, but rather the commotion caused by their operation was a bit too large.
He had a strong premonition that if they didn't evacuate now, big trouble could arise, and Black Light itself might even come under threat.
"Understood."
Li Ruiqi replied after a few seconds of silence.
"Putmi, I'll leave the aftermath to you for now. After some time, we'll hold a memorial service in person," Spade said as he stood up.
"Understood."
Putmi responded respectfully.
