Chapter 244

Before the man can react, the situation quickly reaches a point of no return.

That mutant hurt people quickly, but the others mutated even faster.

Even if a few of them have been rescued, they will still turn into mutants after a while.

"This is exactly like the zombie siege in the old movies. If you get scratched or bitten, you may mutate. And scratches will be slower, and bites will be faster."

Sanyan muttered as he watched the scene through the surveillance camera.

They were watching the situation in the conference room, and everyone's face was solemn. They really didn't expect that this quarantine would actually cause problems.

Susan suddenly felt fortunate. If the mutant had not fallen ill in the quarantine area, their planet would have fallen by now. They might have been even more miserable. At least there were intelligent robots on the scene, but their poor planet did not even have intelligent robots.

At this time, Bob looked at the information sent by the main brain on the optical computer with a serious expression and said.

"The boss just received news that the situation is not good. There are also problems on the other two transit planets. They are also in a similar situation to the zombie siege. They are even more serious than the Holy Star."

The faces of the people present became even darker. No matter how stupid they were, they realized that this was most likely a trap set against them.

Otherwise, why did all of this happen on the transit planet where they established the quarantine zone?

Although it is unclear why these people came to confront them and what means they intended to use to harm them, it now seems that they are probably reaping what they have sown.

Sanyan couldn't help but reveal a relieved expression on his face and spoke out his real thoughts.

"…But this may not be a result of one's own actions. This may also be a result they anticipated in advance."

The man said seriously. Sanyan was a little confused, but Bob reacted quickly. He frowned and said.

"Those three countries can't be so crazy..."

No one knew where Bob was from before, but he was much more sensitive to politics than the Three-Eyeds and the others, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to open a bar on this planet without being troubled by the planet's owner.

He soon realized that the previous fanatical support for the victims of the ancient god ruins must be related to the current situation.

And if you think about who benefits when the victims' reputations are ruined, you can quickly deduce who did it.

But Bob still couldn't believe it. After all, this kind of thing was really crazy.

For the first time, a cold emotion appeared in the man's blue eyes. He looked at the holographic image in front of him and spoke in a flat voice.

"Just keep watching and you'll find out."

When Bob heard the man's words, he looked up and saw the planet manager from the transit planet on the Holy Star coming outside the quarantine area. He gave orders fearlessly while letting the reporters pat him.

Although it looks like a political show, it's probably a good thing that he is willing to come to the outside world.

Bob was thinking about it, but not long after, the mutants inside the quarantine area began to knock on the tall wall that separated them from the outside world.

The manager ignored all this and continued to show his bravery and calmness in the face of danger.

——Until one of the mutants pierced through the wall in front of them and tore a hole in it like tearing a piece of paper.

“Aaaaaaaaa——!”

*

The planet manager Bonnie was horrified and screamed, then immediately got back into the car like a mouse discovered by a cat.

He completely ignored the fact that he was at the back of the crowd and couldn't be hurt even if he wanted to.

He just urged the flying car to fly onto the fixed track as quickly as possible to avoid being caught up by the dirty things behind it.

The calm command just now disappeared, making the soldiers at the front the first to become cannon fodder.

The scene was extremely bloody, with reporters' screams, soldiers' wails, and mutants' roars filling the scene.

At this time, Bernie had already flown to a fixed orbit. He let out a long sigh, wiped his sweat, and cursed himself, thinking that he should not have listened to the nonsense told by his cousin from the Capital Star.

He would only send himself to die, saying that there would be no danger at all and that he was just here to gild himself. Look at the blood and flesh flying everywhere below. What gilding? He should use his own blood to gild his cousin's political achievements!

If he died here, his cousin would definitely find it easier to achieve his desired goal. He could also use the excuse of revenge for his brother and gain some favorability. It would really be killing two birds with one stone.

Bonnie was thinking about driving to the government office to escape, but of course he did not forget to report the incident to the mastermind.

What does it have to do with the subsequent rescue and other things?

The content he handed over did not include anything for him to deal with these mutants, so it would be better to leave it to the main brain to initiate the emergency plan. After all, if he didn't do it, at most he would be scolded. If he did it and the situation was not good, then he would not only be scolded.

"Sigh...it would be nice if the Mutant Processing Agency was still there." Bonnie sighed at the thought.

If it happened a few years ago, this kind of thing would have been left alone and we would have just waited for the mutant handling agency to arrive.

Anyway, when the time comes, the mutant handling agency will knock the person unconscious and then send him to the advanced treatment chamber to consume some nutrient solution and he will be cured. Even if those advanced nutrient solutions are very expensive, they are not the ones who pay for it.

——At that time, the mutant handling agency had extremely abundant funds. After all, the three people were considered national treasures in the three countries. Although they were pushed forward because of the struggle for power, it was precisely because of this that they were given sufficient funds.

Unfortunately, after what happened to Aaron, the mutant handling agency was gradually marginalized, and was replaced by troops that used violence to deal with mutants.

However, I don’t know if it’s because the treatment methods are too violent that the mutants are scared. At least the number of mutants has been gradually decreasing in recent years.

This also led to the fact that the emergency response plans for dealing with mutants on most planets were gradually pushed to the brink.

This also led to the fact that when the incident happened, he was confused at first, and then rushed to the scene after receiving a call from his cousin.

Thinking of this, Bonnie gritted his teeth and called his cousin directly.

"Charlie! That's what you call gilded, I was nearly torn to pieces by those filth!"

Bonnie screamed, but Charlie on the other side didn't care about his scolding, but spoke very seriously.

"Have you escaped now?"

"Of course I am safe now, otherwise how could I be in the mood to come and scold you, the culprit! I am about to return to the government, God knows what my team will think of me..."

Bonnie said sarcastically, but was interrupted by Charlie midway through his words.

"——Ponnie, don't go back to your government yet. Go to the Star Harbor right now. There is a starship waiting for you there. Take as many people as your team can. Time waits for no one. Hurry!"

Bonnie was immediately frightened by Charlie's serious expression and swallowed his original sarcasm. He changed the route of the car and asked.

"What happened? Why did you suddenly let me leave here?"

The holographic image made the wrinkles on Charlie's brow clearly visible.

He said it succinctly.

"Half of the two transit planets that the Federation and the Orcs are in charge of have now become mutants."

Bonnie froze for a moment, and after a long moment he spoke in shock.

"——Then the whole planet will be destroyed!!!"

*

The fact is just as Bonnie said, when half of the planet falls, it is only a matter of time before the entire planet falls.

At this time, the star network had exploded, with requests for help everywhere and the cries of victims from the disaster-stricken planets everywhere.

There was even a host who was scratched by a mutant during a live broadcast and mutated in front of tens of millions of people.

And the platform actually allowed him to broadcast live, resulting in hundreds of millions of people now seeing the mutated appearance of this anchor.

——And I also witnessed with my own eyes that he also hurt a lot of people.

Moreover, the directions of mutation of these mutants are all kinds of strange, and just one look at them makes you feel scared.

What’s even more terrifying is that these mutants can actually speak in the same tone as they did in life.

Many people tricked their homes open under such circumstances and made their families whole again.

Various news directly made the fear of the people in the three countries reach its peak.

Fortunately, at this time the three countries finally showed some strength and quickly dispatched starships to transport the remaining batches of people away. Three days later, only the mutants were left on the original planet.

After seeing the blog posts about the disaster victims crying tears of joy, the public's emotions finally calmed down a little.

At this moment, a voice that was hard to ignore emerged.

——Who should be held responsible for this matter?

In this topic, some people talk about the local planetary managers, some talk about the governments of three countries, and some even talk about the asteroid belt.

Until someone mentioned a force that had been ignored by everyone before.

"...Doesn't the so-called 'ordinary people' planet' that filmed the video need to be held responsible? Why didn't they be more strict and ban those monsters from coming out? Then we wouldn't be affected by the disaster!"

Although a small number of people refuted this statement, if they had banned the victims from coming out, I don’t know to what extent they would have been cyber-bullied by you.

Unfortunately, more people just want to vent their emotions - especially after the three countries issued vague statements.

They immediately rushed to the account and asked those so-called planet masters to give them an explanation.

——Then they were awakened by a blow from the mastermind.

'There is no solid evidence to prove that the account or the person appearing in the account is the culprit, please speak with caution.'

The three masterminds issued a warning at the same time, which poured cold water on the people who originally wanted to vent their emotions. Some people chose to turn around and blame the masterminds for shielding them - and then they were happily banned from the Internet for three days.

Some people's brains returned to normal after being warned by the main brain.

This is not something officials would like to see.

Especially those officials who previously supported the victims of the ancient god ruins.

They were ready to portray themselves as being deceived, but then the mastermind intervened.

"This isn't the first time the Mastermind has acted like this. He's just following procedures."

While some officials were angry, others pointed at the table and said.

"But this so-called compliance with procedures has caused me, the official who issued the statement, to be criticized bitterly."

Marshal Tours sat in his seat, watching these officials arguing over trivial matters, and finally pointed at the table impatiently and said.

"I don't think we're here for such a trivial matter. The most important thing now is how to get rid of the mutants on those three planets. I'd like to make it clear in advance that Ye Ruian is now in Country A. It's time to explore the universe. In order to prevent sneak attacks from the ancient god's energy, he can't come back for the time being."

Marshal Tours immediately protected Ye Ruian. Although Ye Ruian was able to drive a mecha now, he was practicing mecha in order for the Orc Empire to gain a foothold in the ancient ruins, not to clean up the mess for these officials.

——After trying every possible means to harm someone but failing, he got angry and put the blame on the victim.

Marshal Tours wanted to laugh just thinking about it.

In order to clean up the mess caused by their greed, they wanted to turn all the people they had previously treated preferentially into bad people who harmed people, so naturally these people were deceived.

Then an apology is made, and after a year or two the situation won't be so serious.

Unexpectedly, the people on these poor planets were completely ruined by the isolation.

People have handed the quarantine over to the masterminds of various countries, which makes them dare not act rashly.

but……

Tours glanced at the man sitting there and even though he tried to keep a straight face, he could see the fear on his face.

It is also the culprit of this incident.

Federal Dean, Georgia.

Who could have imagined that the virus they handed over to those people was such a horrible virus?

And their spies are so unprofessional.

The Federation and Orc spies were smarter and knew to flush things down the sewers, but these things could infect people just by entering the treatment pipes.

The main brain didn't even have time to stop them, which shows how terrifying these things are.

The one from Holy Star was better off, as he didn't dare fall into the sewer, but he was still affected and turned into a mutant on the last day.

As for why no one helped them take these dangerous goods away.

Marshal Tours sneered.

First of all, these officials didn’t realize how dangerous this kind of thing was. The next day, they were doing something right under the nose of the main brain. Did the main brain crash?

Tours's sneer was heard by the officials present, but none of them dared to speak.

With this person's status, even if he wants to deal with them across the border, it would only take a word.

So they turned their attention to Georgia who was standing nearby - who made such a horrible thing come from his hands?

Georgia was not to be outdone and spoke very nicely when she used him, but why didn't he listen when he told her about the dangerous situation?

"——I don't know which gentleman said that the more dangerous the better. How about we adjust the laboratory surveillance?"

Georgia said angrily: "I remember I told you that the stability of these medicines had not been confirmed, but you used them directly!"

"We also said at the beginning that it was very likely that there would be no survivors on several planets. Didn't you still say that it would be great to provide you with more experimental samples?!"

Just as they were arguing, an urgent message suddenly came in.

This immediately made Tours' face darken.

"——Some mutants have an incubation period and have now appeared on other planets to hurt people!"

The officials who had been arguing just now fell silent.

Some people even doubted whether the news they heard was false, but the news sent back from the scene proved that it was true.

Without saying a word, Tours stood up, rushed to Georgia, picked him up and punched him.

Turles gritted his teeth and hissed, "How come your so-called medicine has an incubation period? Didn't they say that the symptoms would appear quickly?!"

Georgia's nose was broken by a punch, and his gold-rimmed glasses were also broken and hung crookedly on his ears.

Some officials shared Marshal Tours's idea and looked at Georgia with unfriendly eyes, while the rest of the officials had a bad premonition.

The next second, their premonition came true.

"I, I don't know either. Maybe the potion extracted from the ruins has mutated..."

The scene fell into a weird atmosphere again.

The mutated potion caught them off guard.

After two days of investigation, they gathered in the conference room again, looking worriedly at the information in front of them.

Starting with the transit planets, with the poor planets as the center, many planets that have accepted refugees have also experienced this problem.

And this problem is quite serious - three days is enough for some starships to reach the capital star.

What’s even more terrifying is that the three countries are only now discovering a problem.

——Without professional equipment, the main brain cannot distinguish who is a mutant.

This has led to an unknown number of mutants in the latent period fleeing to other galaxies.

In the past, when many planets were accepting people, they also bullied those poor planets that accepted people and required them to be quarantined. Now, after Halloween, we know who the clown is.

——The poverty on this planet has not affected our lives so far.

Even a lot of people came out to help.

But why does one of the people helping look so familiar?

An official of the Holy Star Empire thought about it and asked his intelligent computer to copy all the information.

He had a feeling that this voice must be quite important.

“So what should we do now?”

Tours threw the problem out. The emperor originally had no intention of getting involved in these matters, but the only prince who could be used now actively participated.

So now Tours can only come to clean up the mess, but Tours is just here to act as a mascot, to oppress them and not think of putting the blame on the Orc Empire.

Coincidentally, the other two countries think the same way.

This is when traditional skills come into play.

The officials present all turned their attention to those impoverished planets that should have been in chaos but were now extremely peaceful and had even become the destination for some of the surrounding planets to take refuge.

Although it's a bit outrageous, there is really no better way now.

——It’s decided that it’s you, the scapegoat!

*

"... In view of the serious security threats posed by the planets Hoya, Gama, Rex, and Dawn to the Human Federation, the Orc Empire, and the Holy Star Empire in the past few days, as well as the infringement on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of our three countries, the Human Federation, the Orc Empire, and the Holy Star Empire have fully negotiated and decided to take the following measures:

1. From now on, the Human Federation, the Orc Empire and the Holy Star Empire will launch a special military operation against Hoya, Gama, Rex and Dawn to defend the sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of our three countries..."

Looking at the declaration on the holographic image, everyone in the office was in a state of confusion.

A security threat to the top three countries in the universe? Me?

"Boss, we... just took in some disaster victims and quarantined them, right? And before that, we only seized a few private planets, and we did it with the permission of the Mastermind."

Sanyan said in a daze.

Bob rarely showed a stupid expression, and Susan was drooling.

The other staff members looked even more confused.

There were bursts of noise coming from outside.

Old Mark and several others who were stationed on other planets called them immediately and were now staring blankly with them in the holographic image.

They had no fear, only an endless sense of absurdity.

This is as absurd as if three elephants said to four ants, we are afraid that you will kill us, so we are going to take action against you.

It could easily be named interstellar joke of the year.

But, judging by the official seal stamped below, they seem to be serious.

At this time, the news was over and the comments below were also confused.

"Three countries are conducting military operations against a few poor planets in an asteroid belt? The least impressive thing about these poor planets is a few antique mechas. Is today April Fools' Day?"

This comment perfectly expressed the public's feelings.

——Until the official statement was made that tiny evidence was found to prove that the viruses that caused turmoil in the entire interstellar space were spread from these poor planets.

That’s when the comments below became incensed.

However, the people at the scene had no idea what was happening.

"What? Virus? We have this kind of advanced stuff? We can't even put together a complete biological laboratory on several planets, how can we possibly come up with this thing!"

Three Eyes jumped up and shouted again.

At this time, the man who was sitting at the top and had been watching the news in silence finally spoke up: "It's because they know we don't have it, so they say that."

"Now I finally understand why there is a saying that when they say you have it, you better really have it."

Bob reacted immediately and wondered if they were being blamed for something.

But before he could say anything, he heard the man shout softly.

"Mastermind."

"Yes." The main brain responded immediately, at an astonishing speed.

However, this was considered basic operation in their eyes - after all, they had never seen other officials use the main brain, so they naturally thought that this was a normal response speed.

Little do they know that even if an official wants to call upon the mastermind, he still needs to fill out an application if his rank is not high enough.

However, the man's subsequent actions allowed them to sense that something was wrong even if they hadn't seen anyone else using the main brain.

"Why was this military action targeted at us?"

The man asked, and Susan opened her mouth again, looking at the man in disbelief.

"Boss, even if you use your toes to think about this question, the main brain won't be able to answer it!"

However, the mastermind actually answered.

"Because the poisoning operation planned by the three-nation alliance ended in failure and the situation became irreversible, several planets with little military power became their targets to take responsibility this time."

There was a sudden silence at the scene. Bob and Three Eyes opened their odd-numbered eyes wide and stared at the main brain that emerged from the holographic image and was represented by lines.

They didn't know whether they should express their anger at the three countries or be shocked that the mastermind answered the questions so obediently.

But the man did not stop asking.

"So what was the previous poisoning operation?"

"Georgia, the director of the Human Federation Research Institute, extracted the virus agent from the Ancient God Ruins and distributed it to spies from three countries. The purpose was to mutate the people on the impoverished planets and prove that it was wrong to support the victims of the Ancient God Ruins, so that the three countries could return to the normal path."

The man then asked other questions, but his subordinates, who had received so much information, were no longer able to listen.

All we know is that those three countries have long disliked them.

This time they may not be able to escape.

So when the man finished talking to the mastermind, he saw the sad expressions on the faces of his subordinates present.

Even Bob was beginning to prepare to say goodbye to the world.

"Boss, I'm afraid we're really going to die this time. To be honest, I really want to thank you for these years, otherwise we wouldn't know how normal people should live."

Sanyan said with a forced smile, "We don't really have any regrets, except that we can't deliver the raw materials for Xia Zhong. I haven't even seen what the raw materials for the nutrient supplement look like..."

As Sanyan was about to cry, the others were also wiping their tears.

In the holographic image, Old Mark and the others were also turning their backs and wiping their tears.

No one thought they could defeat the combined forces of three countries.

However, the man looked at Sanyan's expression, sighed deeply, and then said in his usual gentle tone: "Actually, things are not that bad. We still have some cards that can be traded."

The people present were stunned for a moment, and then they thought that the boss might be comforting them.

But the man reached out and began to untie the bandage on his face little by little.

When his face appeared in front of everyone, the scene became quiet again.

Susan had given up on her chin completely, and now she looked like an idiot.

The Three Eyes turned into a stone statue, and Bob had a shocked expression on his face.

Aaron Noah, former admiral of the Holy Star Empire and current wanted criminal in the universe, smiled with his handsome face and spoke.

"I don't think they will refuse a scapegoat who can help them solve this mess - after all, the only condition is to preserve a few agricultural planets."

*

"…Blindly compromising will only make you nothing but a scumbag. You should know what those people are like. Only force can make them listen to you."

After everyone left the conference room, a voice sounded in the conference room under the monitoring of the main brain.

Aaron listened to the breathing sounds at the door and said with a bitter tone: "But I really don't want to cause any more casualties. After all... I'm the only one."

The voice was silent for a while, then said meaningfully: "Are you sure you are the only one? Or..."

"Do they really give you a choice?"
