Chapter 277 Handover
In the sewer, at the moment the orcs disappeared, Lan Yuncheng slowly walked out from a void crack.
He looked around, feeling the energy fluctuations gradually dissipating in the air, a sneer appeared on his face, and he snorted coldly: "It seems that these people don't want to be human anymore."
After saying that, he gently waved his left hand, and a new void crack instantly appeared in front of him. There was a faint light flickering in the crack. He stepped into it, and the crack quietly closed behind him, and the air returned to normal.
Tianquan Star has been unusually quiet recently. Schools have been suspended and all flights to the star port have been cancelled. The entire planet was shrouded in a depressing atmosphere as if a storm was about to come.
Since the terrorist attack yesterday, Tianquan Star has been on high alert. Patrolling soldiers could be seen everywhere on the streets, and the atmosphere was so tense that it was suffocating.
Online, people were enthusiastically discussing what happened the day before yesterday. News and speculations are emerging in various forums, and people are trying to piece together the truth from these fragmented information.
Waibibabu: The latest news is that the ones who launched the attack yesterday were the orcs who have lived on Tianquan Star for nearly a hundred years! This news is absolutely true!
A big box of candy: Is it real or fake? If this is the case, is there any safe place in this federation?
Be careful, it’s a trap: if the forum suddenly disappears, it means the news is true; if it’s still there, it means the matter can no longer be concealed.
Waibibabu: It’s true. I got the news from a friend who works in the government. She usually keeps her mouth shut, and the fact that she said it means that the matter will be made public soon.
I was at the scene: I am a survivor of Star Harbor Plaza, and it is true that orcs appeared on Tianquan Star. More than a hundred people and I have seen it. Those orcs are different from what we see on TV. They are all strange in shape and covered with a silver coating. According to the rescue officers, the coating was highly radioactive and toxic! The officers' skin started to turn red after a short while of contact, and the orcs were also very powerful, as they survived even after their entire bodies were covered with the paint.
Same meaning: Really? The radiation is so high that ordinary humans would definitely die within an hour if they came into close contact with it.
Acting skills are not as good as good looks: Those are orcs, their physique is better than ours. We often see on the news that orcs can fight ten at a time, so their physique should be several times that of us humans.
Expert: Why are you still discussing whether the attackers were orcs? Isn’t the more important question now why the orcs could have lived on Tianquan Star for a hundred years without being discovered?
Conspiracy theory: I think someone up there must have committed treason.
The next second the comment disappeared.
What are you talking about: Did the person on the first floor above say something terrible? It disappeared in just a second, and I didn't even see it clearly.
Nothing can make you happy: Those orcs can survive for a hundred years in human territory. Does it mean that the Federation is already a hole? Can we humans still live safely?
I love eating strawberries: According to current information, explosions occurred in 10 places on Tianquan Star yesterday, and these places are squares with large flow of people. The current death toll has reached 20,000! The number of injured reached 100,000!
Twinkle Twinkle: It’s so scary! Why hasn’t the government responded yet? What is going on?
56146: I don't know what this leader did. He couldn't even know about such a big attack in advance. Does he think that ordinary people like us are not worthy of protection?
Adopt a kitten and raise me: I don’t know what the situation is like on the front line now. We have suffered such a serious attack here, and it was done by orcs. Does that mean that the situation on the front line is not optimistic?
This forum post kept growing, and when many people thought that the message would be deleted, it remained on the webpage and was even marked as "Featured" by the administrator. At once, everyone knew that the news was true.
There really are orcs on Tianquan Star, and they may have lived here for hundreds of years.
January 10, 2029 at 11:46 pm.
The night was deep, and one of the satellite planets of Tianquan was shrouded in darkness, with only occasional starlight embellishing the silence.
In such a remote corner, a gorgeous villa stands quietly, as if isolated from the world. The exterior of the villa is gorgeous and majestic, but its interior hides unknown secrets.
At this moment, a silver orc carrying a huge box slowly appeared in the courtyard of the villa. This orc had a hunched back and his body was covered with festering wounds. With every step he took, rotten flesh and blood would fall from his body, emitting a disgusting stench. His skin was a strange silver color, and the silver was intertwined with the black and red bloodstains, making him look particularly terrifying.
There was not a single cleaning worker in the huge villa. All the humans working here were sent out of the villa by the owner on the pretext of taking a holiday. So no one could see that such a terrifying humanoid creature would appear in this beautiful villa.
This orc was none other than the synthetic orc No. 1007 who captured Lan Ximeng. He spent several hours making continuous space jumps and finally arrived at the place where the task was to be handed in that day.
In order to complete this task, he placed a safe house at every point in the starry sky that could provide people with ten minutes of breathing space. In between each jump, he would rest and take potions that stimulated his supernatural powers.
This potion is used by orcs to enhance their superpowers in a short period of time. It can instantly restore superpowers and increase them to level six. As he is only level four, the side effect is that all his supernatural powers will be useless in the future. But he knew that as long as he completed this mission, he would be able to return to the empire, become a noble, and have a name. Instead of being like it is now, where it can only be driven at will like a nameless tool.
He walked with difficulty to a room where crackling sounds were coming from and knocked on the door with his head with great effort. He was now extremely weak. He could not even see the things in front of him clearly, nor could he hear the sounds in the room. His body had reached its limit, and every step he took was like a race against death.
The moment he knocked on the door, the noise in the room suddenly became quiet.
The door quietly opened from the inside.
Synthetic Orc No. 1007 couldn't see who was sitting inside, but the familiar smell coming from "him" made him know that his mission was finally accomplished.
"Count, I have brought the people!" Synthetic Orc No. 1007 said with his last bit of strength, his voice extremely hoarse. As soon as he finished speaking, he could no longer hold on and fainted on the ground.
A figure in a black robe walked out from the darkness of the room. His face was hidden under the hood, and only a pair of cold eyes could be seen.
He leaned over to check on the synthetic orc No. 1007 who had fainted on the ground, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. "The mission is finally completed, No. 1007." His voice was low and cold, like a whisper from hell, "You did a good job."
He waved his hand lightly, and a faint light emanated from his hand, covering the body of Synthetic Orc No. 1007.
The light gradually dissipated, and the orc's body gradually regained some vitality, but it was still very weak.
"Take him down and give him the best treatment." The mysterious figure said coldly.
"Yes, Count." A figure walked out of the darkness and quickly carried away Synthetic Orc No. 1007. Silence returned to the room again, leaving only the mysterious figure standing at the door, a look of deep thought in his eyes.
