Bang!
Hannes slamd his fist onto the heavy tal table, producing a muffled sound. The massive force caused the point of impact to cave in deeply.
He glared, his eyes fixed on Li Yu before him. The injuries on his arm seed to have healed, and he appeared exceptionally angry:
"Look at what you've done!?"
Li Yu frowned slightly, suddenly snapping back to reality from the System.
Not long after he arrived at the Combat Briefing Room and sat down, Hannes started shouting at him like a madman.
Number Two had just gained so rewards, which had attracted his attention.
【Obtained Special Item – Hulk's Furious Strike: The green blood contains incomparably intense anger.
After use, your next attack will be increased by 50%.】
This was the power from the Hulk's blood in the Hydra Base, not from his main body.
Number Two seed to have experienced a job transfer again, now becoming the Captain of security. His Status was steadily rising, allowing him to access more of Hydra's secrets.
Hunter beside him looked at his empty wrist, feeling sowhat lancholic.
Li Yu then looked at Hannes and asked: "What did I do? I hope Commander Hannes will clarify."
Hannes said coldly: "Two nights ago, you created a High-Energy Reaction high in the sky, causing the coordinates here to be exposed. Now a large number of Blood Beasts are converging towards here!"
Although he seed angry, he was secretly pleased. He had lost face previously, but now he could use this opportunity to make Li Yu lose face.
Li Yu was Intrigued. Hannes was probably waiting for this mont. If this guy was truly afraid of the Shelter's coordinates being exposed, he would have warned him back then, instead of kicking up a fuss now.
Ted hurriedly said: "Commander Hannes, calm down. Commander Li Yu definitely didn't do it on purpose; it was just an unintentional mistake."
Li Yu turned to look at Ted. This Archon was no saint either.
This sentence ostensibly absolved him, but in reality, it pinned the bla for leaking the coordinates on him.
Furthermore, according to the reports from so Transforrs, Ted's movents were mysterious. He frequently visited a secret room that contained no electronic devices.
Therefore, those Transforrs didn't know what he was doing either.
The three High Echelons—Li Yu, Ted, and Hannes—were Each harboring sches. It would be a wonder if the Hengfeng System ended up well.
"So what..." Li Yu spread his hands and looked at Hannes, with an expression of "I'm slacking off, do whatever you want".
"So?" Hannes was Gnashing Her Teeth: "You don't care at all about such a serious mistake!?"
"Well..." Li Yu pondered for a mont, then smiled: "How about you be the commander-in-chief?"
Hannes's tone faltered slightly. This battle was clearly dood to fail. Only an idiot would choose to beco the scapegoat now.
"I lack the ability and am not up to the task." Hannes's tone carried a hint of mockery; this sentence couldn't be taken literally.
"Since you know you lack the ability..." Li Yu's smiling face suddenly turned solemn, and he said coldly: "Then shut up and listen obediently; stop spouting nonsense!"
"You!" Hannes's face flushed red from choking on his words. He snorted coldly, too lazy to lower himself to the level of this greenhorn.
Seeing that the two wouldn't continue arguing, Ted opportunely spoke up to play the "peacemaker."
When the two were sniping at each other, he watched coldly from the sidelines. Now that they stopped arguing, he started speaking.
"Commander Hannes also discovered sothing strange, your Adjutant should have told you already." Ted projected the combat footage of the Transforrs onto the screen.
"These strange chanical Bodies have also appeared on Planet Abundant Star at an unknown ti, seemingly not foreign organisms."
"The fastest batch is about to approach the Shelter. With what attitude should we respond?"
"Do you know any information?" Ted's gaze fell on Li Yu's face, attempting to discern sothing from the changes in his expression.
There were no such lifeforms on Planet Eternal Distance, and the only difference between the current Planet Abundant Star and the previous one was the addition of Li Yu's crippled fleet.
Li Yu's expression remained calm. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the Shelter's alarm blaring. A soldier rushed in and reported urgently: "A... super sports car arrived outside..."
The expressions of the few people were all sowhat confused, except for Li Yu, whose eyes flickered. The surface surveillance was quickly pulled up.
They saw a pitch-black super sports car parked on the Ground of the Shelter, its chassis almost clinging to the ground, making it impossible to see the person in the driver's seat.
"Phantom Blade – Black Warrior, a super sports car priced at up to 30 million Constant Currency..." Ted introduced it to everyone. Hannes wasn't concerned about its origin and asked in a deep voice, "Is this also a chanical Lifeform?"
"N... no idea..." The soldier shook his head, looking sowhat fearful while facing Hannes.
At this mont, the doors of the Phantom Blade opened, and an old man and a young man got out from both sides.
Ted's gaze landed on that old man, his pupils contracting, and his expression instantly becoming extrely ugly. How is this possible!
His staff mbers' expressions also changed slightly, exchanging glances, seemingly finding it hard to believe as well.
Ted shouted loudly, almost roaring: "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and investigate the situation! If you discover any resistance, shoot them dead imdiately!"
Li Yu and Hannes simultaneously looked at the suddenly out-of-control Ted.
Ted suddenly snapped back to reality and forced a smile: "That person is a serious felon from the prison. I don't know how he escaped, but he is a dangerous elent."
Li Yu and Hannes were both Noncommittal regarding this explanation.
.........
Above the Shelter, West leaned against the Phantom Blade out of sheer boredom. The sky was gloomy, and the Blood Mist was gradually closing in on this place, about to swallow up the few remaining rays of sunlight.
Kalai Prison wasn't too close, but the Phantom Blade's speed was extrely fast, allowing them to arrive as quickly as possible.
"Uncle..." West said with a hint of laziness: "If what you say is true, and Archon Ted is the biggest Internal Traitor, then what are we still resisting for? We might as well just surrender directly."
Gober stared vigilantly at the surroundings, his aged face bearing exhaustion, but his eyes were resolute: "There is still Return Star, there is still hope."
"Oh..." West lacked interest, looking at the churning Blood Mist in the distant firmant, "Anyway, it doesn't matter to ; dead or alive, it's all the sa, nothing worth looking forward to."
"That's not right..." West paused: "I'm still quite curious about that Heavenly Venerable..."
"It's Primordial Heavenly Venerable!" Black Warrior vibrated slightly, making West say helplessly: "Okay... okay, it's Primordial Heavenly Venerable."
Gober withdrew his gaze. He hadn't expected the "Primordial Heavenly Venerable" ntioned by Black Warrior to also be in Shelter No. 1.
"Raise your hands!"
Several tactical squads surged out from the Shelter's single-person passages, surrounding West and his companion from all directions.
Crack!
Black Warrior completed his transformation in the blink of an eye. His crimson chanical eyes flashed with red light, wielding the Tailfin Blade and scanning the surroundings.
The surrounding soldiers gulped, staring closely at the massive chanical Body before them, feeling that the kinetic Weapons in their hands lacked lethal power.
"Attack!" Ted didn't hesitate and directly issued the attack order. However, Li Yu's eyes narrowed slightly.
The next mont, before the soldiers who received the order could fire, the Walkie-Talkies, Microcomputers, and even Portable Earphones on their bodies turned into various chanical Bodies.
They instantly subdued all the ard soldiers. The "Weapons" they used were Diodes, Screws... seemingly lacking lethal power.
But these soldiers also had no combat power; they were just ordinary people.
Many soldiers widened their eyes, watching the electronic devices on their bodies instantly turn against them. After all, it was the Interstellar Era; even if they saw a black Weapon transform, they would only be vigilant.
But discovering that their personal electronic devices "betrayed" them was still sowhat hard to accept.
West and Gober were equally surprised. West patted Black Warrior's chanical thigh, "Are they all your companions?"
"That's right." Black Warrior's chanized voice revealed no emotional fluctuations.
Ted almost shattered his own teeth from gritting them too hard. Not yet... not yet... he couldn't expose himself now, just one last step away.
"Commander Hannes..." He looked at Hannes, wanting to request his help.
Hannes frowned slightly and casually tapped on his Smart Terminal a few tis.
Li Yu shook his head: "Archon Ted seems to be overreacting a bit."
Ted smiled awkwardly and shook his head: "Just to avoid more unexpected situations, that person is a serious felon."
"Is that so?" Li Yu casually popped up a Holographic Screen, "How co I found in your Database that the old man seems to be your forr vice Archon, and the charge seems to be assassinating the Archon, which is you."
Hannes also sensed sothing amiss and looked at the stamring Ted.
On the Ground, Gober had just breathed a sigh of relief when he found the ground suddenly covered by a huge shadow.
West looked up and muttered: "Such a huge Spaceship..."
"That's a battleship!" Gober appeared sowhat excited, looking at the large number of battleships that suddenly appeared in the sky.
Battleships represented support, indicating that Return Star hadn't given up on them yet!
At this mont, the ground trembled, and the huge passage of the Shelter slowly opened. Everyone's gaze couldn't help but shift over.
They saw a group of people slowly walking out. In the very center was a young man. West felt this guy should be about his age.
A Military Officer? West was sowhat curious. Such a young Military Officer must be soone with connections.
Then he was sowhat stunned because Archon Ted, the big shot who frequently appeared on TV and the Internal Traitor Gober was Preoccupied With,
was currently keeping his head down and following behind that young man.
West knew he guessed wrong; this young man's background was even greater than he had imagined.
Boom!
A muffled sound ca from beside him. West subconsciously turned his head, and the next thing he saw made his entire body tremble.
Black Warrior was incomparably reverent, kneeling on one knee, his muffled chanical voice accurately entering everyone's ears.
"Greetings... great Primordial Heavenly Venerable!"
Primordial Heavenly Venerable! West's shock was indescribable. This young man was the Primordial Heavenly Venerable that Black Warrior had been longing for.
Imdiately after, the rest of the Transforrs also knelt on one knee to express their reverence.
Hannes watched as his own Smart Terminal fell off, transford into a chanical Body, and knelt towards Li Yu. The Smart Terminals of the nurous deputy commanders beside him did the sa.
This made their expressions a mix of shock and confusion. Hannes's expression was ugly. Nurous clues converged together, all pointing to the person in front of them––Li Yu.
"Is this all your doing!?" Hannes questioned.
"What do you an by 'doing'? Didn't you say we lacked manpower? Now we have enough, right?" Li Yu shrugged, appearing extrely casual.
He then told all the Transforrs on the ground to get up.
Hannes had a curse word on the tip of his tongue but didn't know if he should say it. You create these chanical Bodies because we lack manpower? If you lack Strength, can you spontaneously undergo Evolution?
His eyesight was far beyond what this group of people from the Hengfeng System could compare to. Internally, he wasn't just shocked; he could see the uniqueness of these chanical Bodies.
The previous conversation between that young boy and the black car was enough to prove that these chanical Bodies possessed independent consciousness and thought.
How on earth did he do it!?
Fortunately... he looked at the battleships in the firmant. If those patrol battleships also turned into this kind of lifeform, then it would truly be the end.
Only Gober trembled all over, with only Ted in his eyes; he didn't care about any Primordial Heavenly Venerable at all.
His eyes were bloodshot. He strode forward, faster and faster, eventually breaking into a run.
He had already ignored everyone else.
Li Yu stopped the guards who wanted to intercept Gober, watching him charge up to Ted.
Bang!
He punched Ted directly in the face. Although Gober looked very old, he was, after all, a forr High Echelon of the Hengfeng System and had undergone low-level enhancents.
This punch directly sent Ted's teeth flying, causing him to bleed profusely.
"Why!" Gober grabbed Ted's collar, glaring furiously, his voice sounding like it was squeezed out of his throat: "Look at the current Hengfeng System, is this what you want!?"
"Exactly what is the reason!?"
Gober's eyes were crimson, with faint tears flashing in them.
Ted gritted his teeth and looked around. When he saw Li Yu facing him with indifference, he understood; he was ultimately exposed.
He had deceived Hannes, causing the Patrol Fleet to suffer heavy losses and lose their combat capabilities, forcing them to call for help.
But unfortunately, he couldn't fool Li Yu...
Hannes hadn't yet recovered from the impact of "Primordial Heavenly Venerable," and then stared closely at the scene before him, seemingly sowhat confused.
"Can't you tell? For the Hengfeng System to fall so quickly, it's obvious there's an Internal Traitor..." Li Yu considerately reminded him.
Hannes looked at Li Yu, his thoughts racing. He decided to temporarily ignore the Primordial Heavenly Venerable; once they returned to Return Star, this matter would naturally be investigated clearly.
"Ted is the Internal Traitor? Is there any evidence?" He frowned slightly.
He had spent half a month discussing how to solve problems with an Internal Traitor? No wonder they were ambushed.
But subconsciously, he still found it sowhat hard to accept. Didn't this prove that he was indeed very useless?
"There are many benefits to having powerful Strength..." Li Yu said casually: "For example, right now I don't need any evidence."
"We can just investigate directly. I rember my subordinate telling that he has a secret room."
"Yes... respected Primordial Heavenly Venerable..." Ted's electronic watch fell off, transford into a chanical Body, and answered respectfully: "Every ti he goes in, he is very cautious and will take off."
When this scene occurred, the expressions of Hannes and his Adjutants changed several tis, all looking at their Smart Terminals that had turned into chanical Bodies.
Didn't this an that all their actions and even words during this period were under the other party's surveillance!?
Seemingly perceiving the thoughts of Hannes and the others, Li Yu flashed them a bright smile. Hannes inexplicably felt a chill shoot from the soles of his feet straight to his brain.
Hannes quickly cald his mind. He was an A-Tier Lifeform, after all, and the commander of the Patrol Fleet; Li Yu couldn't do anything to him.
Perhaps he himself wasn't willing to admit it, but the seed of fear had already been planted in his heart, and had begun to take root and sprout!
