When the commander-in-chief's communication request came in, Li Ze and He Xingjue were on their way to the Void Beast's exit.
Seeing the two of them, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, his furrowed brows relaxing slightly. "It's good that you're both still alive."
Li Ze and He Xingjue: "........"
The old commander-in-chief seemed to realize that his words were inappropriate, and immediately changed the subject, "Where are you now?"
"Zhuque Star is on its way to the Void Beast Exit," He Xingjue replied.
The old man's brow relaxed a little. "When the explosion happened, His Majesty and the others were relatively close to the blast site. I would like to trouble the two of you to go and check on their condition first."
"Look at their condition? Do you think I can recognize which gray patch they are?" He Xingjue thought the old man was asking too much of him.
The old man's lips twitched. "They were carrying the research institute's new explosion-proof energy ball with them, so they might be fine."
He Xingjue suddenly realized, "Okay, I'll go find someone right now."
Li Ze remained silent throughout the entire communication. Only after the call ended did he say to He Xingjue, "Go find someone." The implication was that he wouldn't go.
"So eager?" He Xingjue stared directly at Li Ze.
Li Ze frowned, pursed his lips, and did not answer.
"Why aren't you speaking? Is it because you have someone you love in that world? Are you so eager to go back and see them?" He Xingjue pressed, his sharp gaze seemingly piercing through Li Ze and reaching the deepest part of Li Ze's heart.
Li Ze disliked his interrogation-like attitude and said coldly, "You have enemies!"
He Xingjue's expression froze for a moment, then he laughed, "No rush, I will help you get revenge."
Li Ze wanted to tell you that you were no match for him, but when he thought about the other party's terrifying talent, he realized that he might really become a powerful figure in the cultivation world.
Before finding the person, Li Ze and He Xingjue encountered a horde of Void Beasts. Now, neither of them hesitated; they could only focus on killing the Void Beasts, temporarily putting aside their search for the person and the exit for the Void Beasts.
In the thick white smoke, nothing could be seen beyond two meters with the naked eye, but this did not deter Li Ze and He Xingjue.
The screams of Void Beasts and the thuds of heavy objects hitting the ground echoed from within the thick smoke, sending chills down the spines of those surveying the area using their machines.
What happened inside?
On the StarNet, netizens are also discussing it extensively, inquiring about the situation on Vermilion Bird Star.
When the interrupted live stream was restarted, the screen was filled with only gray and white.
"Is the machine broken?"
"No, it's the smoke and dust from the explosion."
"How big of an explosion would it have to be to cause this effect?"
"Most of the Vermilion Bird Star has been destroyed."
......
The camera kept changing, but no matter how it changed, the screen remained gray and white, as if it were frozen, without even a sound.
Until a series of tragic, desperate cries came from the white smoke.
The netizens couldn't help but tremble.
What's going on here?
The camera zoomed in continuously, until finally it was almost pressed against the mecha.
"Don't get too close, or you might get hurt," He Xingjue said to the instrument.
The instrument's sound recording was so good that He Xingjue's voice appeared in the live broadcast accurately and without any distortion.
"I'm a bit confused. How did this person end up on Vermilion Bird Star?"
"We'll go wherever we're needed. This one's here, where's the other one?"
"The other one must be here too, after all, the Void Beast Tide in the south has ended."
The camera zooms in again, and the black mecha appears and disappears on the screen.
"Just as I expected. The southern battlefield only lasted a few hours, and now we've arrived at Suzaku Star. Tsk tsk, these two big shots are really working non-stop, making every second count. They should be awarded the title of model worker and presented with a banner."
"Are these the only two survivors? I feel so sad. So many soldiers were wiped out in a single blow."
"It seems the armory exploded. What era are we living in? How could such a basic mistake happen?"
"Perhaps it was intentional? The Vermilion Bird Star has been unstable for the past two years."
Recalling the events that had transpired on Suzaku Star, they carefully considered their words before speaking, "What if someone walked into the armory and it suddenly exploded—"
"If it were a human, it would have been detected. It takes time for a human bomb to react and explode."
"There are countless ways to detonate an arsenal, but in the end, it all comes down to a lack of vigilance and defense."
"The beast tide has lasted for six days, and everyone is exhausted, both physically and mentally. If we make a move now, the enemy will be very good at choosing their timing."
"........"
The grayish-white smoke wouldn't continue indefinitely; an hour later, the imperial authorities manually cleared the white smoke.
Needless to say, there are all kinds of large-scale air purification machines, and even artificial rain, snow, and rain plus snow!
As the grayish-white smoke dissipated, the danger lurking beneath the smoke and the blind devastation left by the explosion came into view.
"So bombarding the Void Beast's exit with artillery fire really does make it bigger!"
"The Vermilion Bird Star is truly doomed now! No one can live there for the next few years."
"It is said that five legions are on their way to Suzaku Star."
"Hey, look at those round spheres, what are they?"
......
A dozen white spheres plus one black sphere make the black sphere stand out.
The search and rescue soldiers immediately protected the dozen or so white spheres, but aimed their cannons at the black one. The next second, countless mechs suddenly appeared, surrounding the black sphere and protecting it completely.
The two sides were in a standoff, and a quick glance revealed that the black ball side had more people.
Even more terrifying, besides the mechs, there were thousands of inhuman and ghostly creatures behind them, which were exactly the same as those that had appeared on the planet Greedy Wolf.
This is the same group of people.
The live stream has ended here.
Viewers in the live stream had a "Holy crap" expression on their faces. "What's the difference between this and me having already picked up my chopsticks, but then you just took the food away?"
"Eating isn't that important; this is more like being stripped naked and having the person beneath you stolen. It's enough to make you want to kill someone!"
"Friends from Vermilion Bird Star, go spy on them! Record the video first, then upload it. Make the video a paid service and make a fortune."
"Making money is important, but saving our lives is more important, so we ran away."
........
It wasn't just this one spot where the live stream was interrupted; to be precise, the live stream for this entire area was interrupted.
Looking at the people who suddenly appeared, Li Ze and He Xingjue had a feeling that 'they've finally arrived.'
As they slayed the void beasts, they approached the soldiers and saw them rescue His Majesty, the First Prince, the Third Prince, Chen Qian, and a dozen other officers from the white sphere.
At the same time, the person inside the black sphere also appeared.
"You're still alive!" Zhao Mingqi's eyes were bloodshot, and the veins on his forehead and neck were bulging, making him look like he wanted to eat people.
