Chapter 158 Chapter 158 It turned out to be Hu Ding!
In the deep sea, it seemed like something was rolling and surging.
The next second, with a strong energy fluctuation, the rebel reinforcements emerged from the deep sea.
Their warships and submarines were well-equipped, seemingly lurking for a long time. After rapidly shuttling between the warships, they quickly launched a fierce counterattack, unleashing a torrential downpour of various firearms.
The small unmanned ships deployed nearby were the first to be hit and suffered devastating blows in an instant, with none of them spared.
The destroyed energy core also instantly erupted with astonishing energy, not only causing the hull fragments to burst out in all directions, but also causing the surrounding seawater to heat up rapidly and vaporize instantly due to the high temperature.
The originally calm sea surface instantly became like a boiling pot, and strong pressure waves spread rapidly in all directions.
The sea was filled with broken metal debris, flashing energy lights, and surging waves.
Taking advantage of the chaos all around, the warship carrying Silos, which was constantly falling apart, once again increased its maximum speed and rushed madly into the depths of the ocean.
On Ye Ning's side, Hou Lin and his companions, who had been rushing forward, finally arrived with a large number of troops.
The movement on the seabed was transmitted directly to the upper ocean.
The explosions from the seafloor were remarkably muffled, yet each blast sent tremors through the water. The metallic clangs of the clashing weapons and warships were exceptionally sharp and piercing. The waters collided and churned, forming dozens of whirlpools of varying sizes and even creating massive waves tens of meters high.
The strong air flow fluctuations caused the aircraft above the sea to shake and bump, so that they had to rise to a higher altitude.
"Ye Ning!"
"Are you okay?" As soon as a few people came up, before they could even stand firmly, they rushed over and surrounded Ye Ning to look her over.
The command room, which was originally quite spacious, was instantly packed.
Ye Ning hadn't seen them for a while, and when they met now she realized that she actually missed them a little.
Moreover, after this period of training, their appearance seems to be a little different from before.
I couldn't really tell what the difference was, but everyone's aura seemed more fierce. Even the usually lovable Le Song seemed a lot calmer.
But his eyes were still the same, bright and clear as before.
Their eyes met and Ye Ning smiled at him.
Le Song's eyes lit up instantly. He couldn't wait to squeeze next to Ye Ning, his eyes fixed on Ye Ning, not wanting to leave for a moment.
But now was not the time for small talk. Ye Ning allowed them to examine her while she said, "I'm fine, but Xilos was taken away by the rebels."
Hou Lin was in no mood to care about other people. He pulled Ye Ning and looked over her twice. He even lifted her hands up like checking a little monkey to confirm whether her limbs were healthy.
All that's missing is checking her hair.
Gu Yu also took the medical equipment and scanned her from head to toe.
After everyone confirmed that she really didn't even have a broken skin, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Hou Lin said with lingering fear: "We rushed here as soon as we received the news. Fortunately, you are okay."
Although they kept saying she was fine, they were not at the scene and had not seen her in person, so they were always worried.
Ye Ning patted his shoulder comfortingly, "I'm fine, let's find a way to rescue Xilos quickly."
Long Qi said in a deep voice: "It's too far."
The current distance is completely beyond his control.
Only Ye Ning understood what he was saying.
Ye Ning immediately looked at the command screen. The punctuation mark representing the Xilos warship was still moving rapidly towards the deep sea area. Because of the movement on the seabed, they had to fly to a higher position, and the distance between the two sides was constantly widening.
The rebels have a clear purpose and are definitely not fleeing in panic.
This area wasn't home to the marine orcs, and even the marine life in this area wasn't very thriving. Because it was far from land and away from the main ocean currents, the water's fluidity was very poor. With insufficient nutrients, even microorganisms struggled to survive, let alone other organisms.
Everyone followed Ye Ning's gaze and looked at the big screen.
Hou Lin was puzzled. "What do they want to do? Why are they heading towards the deep sea?"
The ocean is the home turf of the marine orcs. Even if the fused orcs are powerful, they cannot be more familiar with the situation than the marine orcs.
Moreover, weapons will eventually run out. By then, will they be able to escape at the bottom of the sea? Even if they managed to escape, the news of Ye Ning being attacked and Xiluos being captured would have spread throughout the Federation.
The Federation is already openly holding the rebels accountable. What’s the point in them doing this?
What on earth is there that is worth them making such advance arrangements and pushing the whole thing forward at all costs?
The underwater battle was intense, with safety warnings of warships being hit constantly appearing on the screen.
A few seconds later, Long Qi suddenly said, "There's a restricted area there."
restricted area?
Ye Ning quickly called up the model of the Sea Dust Star in her mind. The black and green areas on the model were very obvious. She quickly found the location of the warship and discovered that there was indeed a gray-white area dozens of miles away from the warship.
Gu Su quickly retrieved the relevant data. "There is indeed a restricted area in that direction, but the pollution concentration is not too high."
The Xisha District has done a great job cleaning up its restricted area, significantly improving overall environmental quality, which has attracted interest from other districts. Furthermore, since phytoplankton is very easy to grow, districts are now learning to use it to clean up restricted areas.
This restricted area of pollution concentration no longer poses a hazard.
What’s the use of the restricted area? Can those pollutants be used to help them?
As Long Qi put on his new combat uniform, he said, "Stay here and don't let anyone get close."
Hou Lin nodded immediately and said, "Go ahead. We will protect Ye Ning."
Ye Ning had already told them in advance that the reason why Xilos was caught so easily was because he listened to her advice and drained his mental strength.
Since Ye Ning said this, it means that if something really happened to Xilos, she would definitely blame herself very much.
Furthermore, the person who betrayed Xilos clearly had ties to the rebels. If they succeeded in taking power and led the marine orcs to the rebels' side, the situation on Dust Planet would only deepen into chaos. This was something no one wanted to see, so Xilos's importance was self-evident.
In addition to their own army, several nearby districts also immediately sent reinforcements after learning that Ye Ning was in trouble.
If the other party can take Ye Ning away from under their noses under this kind of protection, they will really be a bunch of wastes.
Long Qi did not waste any time and quickly changed into the new equipment brought by Hou Lin and others.
Before leaving, Ye Ning suddenly thought of something and handed something over: "Take this with you."
In the palm of her hand lay a thick vine, which had an extremely strong plant scent.
Those were the vines derived from her supernatural powers. She used to be able to use them to kill zombies, but after coming here, they were no longer useful to her.
Later, one day, she had a sudden idea and wanted to see if she could plant it in a flowerpot. Unexpectedly, it actually succeeded.
Without her vines, it is just like an ordinary plant.
Although it was similar to ordinary plants, it was also very different. Because it was a plant entity condensed by her supernatural power, it naturally possessed extremely rich plant elements and would actively absorb the plant elements around it.
As soon as Long Qi touched the vine, he immediately felt something different.
He looked at Ye Ning deeply, placed the vine on his chest, and went directly to the weapons bay on the aircraft.
He gave up part of the command power, and the people Hou Lin brought from Xisha District and Gaojiang District immediately joined forces with the marine commander to quickly take over the battlefield.
The underwater battle was fierce, but Long Qi had already passed, and Ye Ning felt a little relieved.
She finally had some free time to ask about the current situation.
Hou Lin talked to her briefly.
"Everyone was very angry, especially Xiru, who released a video strongly condemning the rebels."
He also took the opportunity to criticize the mayor of the federal district, saying that it was because of the federal district's inaction that the rebel army grew so strong.
It must be said that Xiru seemed to have found his direction. He could react quickly to anything related to Ye Ning, and then rush to the front line at absolute speed.
It is no wonder that he firmly holds the top spot as the most popular candidate in this chairman election.
"Several surrounding districts have also expressed their intention to send troops to clear out the rebellious areas, and everyone has already begun taking action."
Ye Ning quickly browsed the information on the Internet.
"Has the news of the fight here spread?"
"Yes, there are already reporters and media reporting on the live broadcast. We have cameras all over the outside."
This matter is absolutely a big deal for the Sea Dust Star.
People on the Internet were cursing the rebels while worrying about Ye Ning's condition.
Everyone is very excited now. Before, there was the orc who deliberately caused a terminal illness, and now he deliberately hurt Ye Ning and destroyed the planting area. Everyone is completely enraged by the rebels.
The rebel areas have limited resources and cannot remain isolated and self-sufficient for a long time. Under such circumstances, they are bold enough to take action.
Ye Ning paused while swiping her wristband and projected the content on it, "The rebels have released a new announcement video."
The spokesperson... turned out to be Hu Ding!
Cang Chen couldn't help but get closer to take a closer look. He frowned slightly, "He looks very young."
Ye Ning: "Even the voice hasn't changed much."
They had studied Hu Ding carefully, and all the information about him stopped ten years ago. He had not appeared in public for ten years, and the outside world knew very little about him.
Ye Ning looked at Cang Chen, "Doesn't Hu Yue look much older than him?"
Cang Chen nodded seriously.
If the two stand together, it is not an exaggeration to say that Hu Ding is Lord Hu Yue's father, but Lord Hu Yue is Hu Ding's younger brother.
Ye Ning had only seen Hu Ding's old photos, but he had maintained himself very well. Even though ten years had passed, he didn't show many signs of aging, not even crow's feet at the corners of his eyes.
Hou Lin put one hand on his waist and said, "It seems that the rebels are having a good time. Hu Ding can actually stay this young."
He even felt that Hu Ding looked about the same age as Lord Chongji.
Everyone discussed his appearance for a while before focusing on his content.
"We solemnly declare that this incident was not an official action of the New Federation. The New Federation has always been committed to fighting for a fairer and better future for the general public, and we firmly oppose any form of violence and illegal acts. The perpetrators of the attack arbitrarily used the name of the New Federation to slander and stigmatize it, seriously violating the purpose and principles of the New Federation. We are deeply saddened and outraged by this.
We are willing to immediately dispatch troops to encircle and suppress the rebels and bring them to justice to demonstrate our resolve and responsibility. At the same time, we urge the people of the Federation to remain calm and rational and not be misled by those with ulterior motives. The New Federation will, as always, uphold its convictions and strive for fairness and justice..."
The rebels openly labeled those people traitors and completely cut ties with them.
