Chapter 1362: Chapter 697: The Grand Safety Net
Anduinâs lips curled slightly, he enjoyed Sheffieldâs expression quite a bit since their relationship was decent.
As for those three words, he could understand them as a shock beyond acceptance, choosing not to argue.
"No, what... exactly happened?" Sheffield couldnât help but ask, knowing Anduin well, though he was strong, he wasnât qualified to become an Ultimate Life Form.
Even if Azure Dragon forcibly supported him, wasnât he afraid to be targeted?
"Itâs simple," Anduin smiled, "Saint Emperor Adam became an Ultimate Life Form, but was killed by Lord Azure Dragon with a single shot, who then supported Abel to become the Holy Emperor."
!!!
Sheffield felt struck by lightning, as did Nandes and others, their expressions dazed.
They had been gone only five or six years, yet such major events happened in the interstellar world.
They knew how difficult the Ultimate Gene Seed was, yet the Empireâs speed seemed way too fast.
More terrifying was that Adam, who had already become an Ultimate Life Form, was killed by Azure Dragon?
Sheffield didnât think Anduin was fooling him, especially since Prince Costat was nearby with an expressionless face, not contradicting Anduin.
"Lord Azure Dragon has already become an Ultimate Life Form?" Sheffield struggled to stabilize his emotions, asking what seemed like a useless question.
Pairs of eyes focused on them, faintly filled with deeper anticipation.
"Thereâs one more thing..." Anduin leaned in, speaking softly, "Azure Dragon and Li Ming are actually the same person."
"Wha...t!?" Struggling to stabilize his emotions, Sheffield abruptly looked over, his pupils shrank to needle size while his cheeks twitched uncontrollably.
Azure Dragon and Li Ming are the same person? How... how is that possible!
Sheffieldâs thoughts were completely chaotic, the sudden news utterly threw his mental state out of balance, causing him to stagger backward.
Behind him, Nandes and others were already frozen, virtual projections scattered and then abruptly vanished.
The entire laboratory was silent, faces showing an indescribable sense of satisfaction, Anduin also showed a satisfied smile.
"Ha..." Rafael grinned, when he first learned of this news, his reaction was similar to Shepherdâs.
Seeing Sheffield and othersâ reactions now felt entirely different, with an unusual sense of satisfaction.
Of course, because Sheffield and Nandes and others were on the same level, there was a desire to "tease."
Soon, cheerful laughter echoed inside and outside the laboratory.
......
"Hmm, the activity here is only about 8%..." Li Ming was already in the development room of command headquarters, took out the [Eternal Abyss Mark] to sense it for a moment, and felt slightly relieved.
Just as he was about to enter the development state, he received a communication request from Anatoli.
"Chairman, that group has been checked, they are connected with the Federation, intending to sell to Gabriel, one of the interstellar bandits we havenât dealt with yet..." Anatoli was solemn as he asked:
"I plan to disguise myself as part of the transport team, seize Gabriel during the delivery, as for the Federation..."
Li Mingâs expression was cold: "Eliminate all personnel involved, if Malcolm is dissatisfied, let him come see me."
"If he canât control his subordinates, I can help him."
No matter the time, there are always some lunatics, even though the Three Great Civilizations and High-level United Organization have emphasized the dangers of Blood Fog.
There are still people who want to take advantage of this chaos, steal the Blood Fog as some sort of weapon, this wonât be the first instance discovered, and likely not the last either.
"Understood." Anatoliâs eyes flashed with excitement, it was much easier to act with Li Mingâs authorization.
Having dealt with this small interlude, Li Ming drank a tube of potion before entering the development state.
Regarding Blood Seed research, temporary suppression of Moon Fog, the related disturbances were being handled by others, all he could do now was wait.
Waiting for relevant research results or changes.
......
The blood fog crisis in the Star Alliance had widespread panic throughout the interstellar, the Three Great Civilizations hadnât disclosed casualty numbers, but anonymous internal personnel leaked information almost daily.
"... not just planets, civilizations have devoured over a thousand..."
"... death count? Itâs already a string of numbers, no one cares anymore..."
Even just sparse words can deeply convey despair, potentially the most terrifying viral crisis since the interstellar peace era began.
Under panic, angry sentiments arose, public opinion blamed various High-level Civilizations, questioning what they were doing for such a long time without curbing the virus spread.
Many pessimistically believed that the virus crisis was destined to sweep across the universe.
"This is the universeâs revenge, caused by High-level Civilizationsâ reckless extraction of cosmic resources!" numerous environmental organizations proclaimed.
"Allegedly, the virus leaked from a laboratory within the Star Alliance, causing such a big issue..."
Rumors spread like wildfire, material prices soared, Raiders were highly active.
This was even after hiding the Eternal Abyss crisis; otherwise, the entire interstellar would likely be more frantic.
Fortunately, the Three Great Civilizations handled a batch of people with lightning tactics, coordinated with the High-level Life Form Union to eliminate some troublesome X-Level Life Forms, gradually stabilizing the interstellar situation.
Time ticked away second by second, three months passed in the blink of an eye.
...
On this day, Blood Fog -- 7845 Border Area, the warship was regularly performing extermination tasks, orange-blue fire tongues erupted from hexagonal gun barrels.
