"Everyone, even if I don't tell you, you should know what the empire has done."

Faced with Li Shu's words, the rescued star beasts and ordinary people had mixed emotions and did not say a word.

Li Shu knew that some people were still hesitant, after all, the empire had previously created an image too thoroughly.

Of course, there are no flaws on such a perfect face.

Li Shu was furious, ready to tear this perfect face apart. "I think you were imprisoned in the laboratory. Even if the people around you left one after another, no one knew what they were doing. But you still remember the huge pit we saw when we came out! Inside was the corpses of countless bull-headed and horse-faced creatures, whether they were star beasts or ordinary people. Those were the piles of dried bones left behind by your companions!"

As everyone recalled what they had just seen, their expressions became solemn, and their hatred towards the institute grew stronger.

Li Shu saw this and continued, "The research institute is despicable, but even more despicable are the imperial high-ranking officials and the royal family!"

When everyone heard this, they all stared at Li Shu with sharp eyes.

Li Shu snorted coldly, "Do you think that without the permission of the empire and the royal family, the research institute can be of such a scale?"

Upon hearing this, most of the star beasts and humans on the side turned pale and could not believe the truth of the matter. They could not believe that the empire they loved and the royal family they trusted would do such a thing.

Li Shu did not pause, but continued to expose the empire's false side. "Now the empire is constantly capturing star beasts and ordinary people. Life disappears before their eyes one after another, and they don't even blink an eye. Everyone is passionate and has the spirit of selfless dedication to the country, but how can we use our precious lives to do such harm to others and ourselves!"

"If you still want to protect yourselves and your families, gather your relatives and friends and leave the empire with me."

Li Shu had a good idea and didn't want more people to get hurt.

But he didn't know that the point everyone had been hesitating about was not family, but betrayal.

Whether they are star beasts or ordinary people, although they are very disappointed with the royal family, they are unwilling to betray the empire for this.

They were angry and furious, but they never thought of leaving.

Because the empire is their home, no matter how bad this home is, it is also their harbor for survival.

Li Shu saw it, and Huo Wei saw it clearly too. He reached out and pulled Li Shu behind him, his resolute gaze sweeping over everyone present. "I understand your hesitation, and I didn't intend to let you make a choice now. I'm just giving you a chance to choose. I just hope you can remember that the empire is no longer a haven that can protect you. Once the higher-ups discover your existence, they will definitely not let you go."

After all, the research institute is a big secret, and they will never allow people who do not belong to their camp to live in the world after knowing this secret!

Although not all of the people who were captured were smart, they could still understand what Howie meant after hearing what he said.

If they stay in the empire, their lives cannot be guaranteed!

For a time, people were in turmoil, but although they were shaken, few of them made up their minds.

Li Shu understood, because if this was his country, he would not make up his mind so easily.

This was Huo Wei's country, and he understood everyone's thoughts better than anyone else. He raised his foot and stood beside Li Shu, saying in a deep voice, "I know everyone's hearts are in turmoil. We're not forcing you to make an immediate decision, but we hope you can think it over carefully. For now, I hope everyone can put aside past grudges and prepare together for the coming insect tidal wave."

Everyone knew how powerful the insect swarm was, so they had no objection to this arrangement, and even had a better impression of Li Shu and the others.

While most of the star beasts and humans were having a great time, in a corner, a few star beasts that had not transformed into humans were looking at the crowd with envy.

They were the unlucky ones who had already completed half of the experiment. Unlike their predecessors who died without a complete body, there was no way for them to return to normal.

Before they came to the institute, their risk level was not too high, but because they were used as experimental subjects for research, the risk level not only did not decrease, but has even exceeded the critical point, and they will never be able to recover their human form in this lifetime.

This made the beasts feel a little regretful.

Li Shu walked over at this moment, greeted them with a smile, and said kindly, "Hey guys, I see your danger levels are a bit high. Do you need any help?"

Several star beasts looked at Li Shu with some confusion. Li Shu didn't say much and directly used his supernatural power to produce several plants. The strange fragrance instantly attracted these star beasts, and they looked at Li Shu eagerly.

Li Shu handed the grass to them. The plant tasted dry and tasteless. When they opened their eyes and spit it out, Li Shu suddenly said, "Swallow it. It's good for your health!"

Seeing Li Shu's serious attitude and that he had saved them, several star beasts looked at each other and swallowed the plants with difficulty.

In an instant, their risk level dropped to a safe level. They excitedly transformed into human form, happily saying, "Are we recovering now?"

Everyone looked at Li Shu with stars twinkling in his eyes and thanked him together.

Li Shu smiled and said, "You don't have to think too highly of me. I have my own selfish reasons for helping you. I hope you can help fight the insect swarms on the battlefield. Of course, as a trade, I will ensure that your risk rate will never exceed the danger value during the war."

"Really? I want to join the fight!"
