That evening, Dee went to meet Harriman for drinks. Wood really wanted to ask him what was going on at that time, but it was a private matter, so he didn't ask.
The next morning, the two met at the palace gate and went to see the king together.
Wood used all his eloquence, and with the help of Di Xiu, he finally convinced the king that what he had was not a projection, but a real parasitic species.
After accepting this fact, the king looked at Di Xiu with a dangerous gaze: "So you were the one who attacked Minister XX?"
"It was out of necessity."
The king gave a few more words of reprimand, then let it go. This minor mistake was nothing in the face of the imperial crisis, or even the crisis facing humanity.
"General Shen Yun, since you discovered this, then this matter is yours to handle..."
Emperor Xiu rudely interrupted him: "Your Majesty, I have not returned to the capital planet for a long time and am unfamiliar with the place. Marshal is highly respected and it is most suitable for him to reside in the capital planet year-round."
The king choked, looked at Marshal Wood for advice, thought for a moment, and then the matter was settled.
The parasite continued to live in the simple box and was sent to the laboratory. The research institute also established two special groups to study the parasite and improve the ability lock, respectively. During this period, they were not allowed to have any contact with the outside world so as not to alert the parasite.
As for not being able to find the correct location of the parasite, there are always more solutions than problems.
...
Another night passed, and Di Xiu prepared to return to the front line on the Legion starship. General Mo was left behind by his family to go on blind dates, while Mo Er took the opportunity to take the exam for the First Legion. They couldn't leave for a while.
Wood's appearance attracted widespread attention.
Although he has lived a secluded life in recent years, as a marshal of the empire, a level 13 superhuman, and a national treasure, he must have the proper pomp and circumstance.
Wood chatted with Di Xiu for a couple more minutes, then patted him on the shoulder and said, "Play well and build up your experience."
After saying that, he sent another list to his personal computer, implying, "These are all my old buddies. It's not a bad thing to get in touch with them."
Di Xiu opened it and glanced at it, finding that they had fought each other and had some contact with each other.
"good."
He embarked on the path of gaining seniority, and since Wood intended to make him his successor, he began to make arrangements for him, sending messages to his old buddies one by one. The replies were subtly consistent, all consisting of a string of dots, the only difference being the number of dots.
After pressing one question, the other party replied, "Wood, it wouldn't be bad for you to just step down and give way to a more capable person."
This time, the string of dots became Wood.
The person on the other end started talking, full of emotion: "Given your current situation, I don't even know if you can hold out until the next Queen of Insects appears. It's better to retire early and avoid so much pressure. As for that kid Shen Yun, I can't tell his exact strength, but I think he might be around level eleven or twelve. Sigh, I hope he levels up slowly, preferably stuck here and doesn't reach level thirteen. But his physique level is definitely higher than yours, tsk tsk tsk, tearing apart mechs is like child's play for him."
"...He's a bit young and not very good at interpersonal relationships, but he deserves the position of marshal."
Wood refused the military escort and boarded a hovercar to head to the research institute.
The vehicle switched to autonomous driving mode, and he chatted with his old friends.
...
Before Di Xiuren even arrived at the front lines, everyone who had received news of Wood had already gathered together to discuss the matter. When he arrived, he would not be treated as a general, but rather as the successor to a marshal.
He didn't shirk his responsibilities and decisively commanded a group of generals, lieutenant generals, and major generals, making them run around in circles. Marshal Wood, who used to remotely coordinate the overall situation, also simply delegated authority and focused on dealing with the parasites.
The Zerg were forced into retreat, with some of their corpses ending up in the stomachs of frontline soldiers and others being transported away to exchange for military funds and supplies.
Ten years ago, there was a shortage of soldiers on the front lines; now, ten years later, the number of soldiers needs to be limited, and the same is true for the Star Alliance.
The Zerg population is decreasing year by year in a stable trend. The capital city of Xana has also developed a device that can suppress the parasitic species' mental field and has begun to eliminate internal troubles, but this is accompanied by both good news and bad news.
The good news is that this parasitic species is not capable of reproduction, the specific reason for which is unknown, since they have no parasitic species that they have not previously parasitized to study.
The bad news is that the number of people being parasitized has increased, and these parasites are all males, while they don't know where the parasite responsible for reproduction is—there should at least be a female parasite.
Parasitic species have also appeared in the Star River Alliance, specifically targeting various important figures, and their numbers are similar to those here.
Wood told Di Xiu about it without much expectation, but two days later, he received a huge data package.
Take a look...
"Shen Yun, this is illegal!" Wood said with great distress. The next marshal of the empire cannot have a stain on his record.
The other party replied, "Oh."
Wood chuckled at the computer screen, but there was nothing he could do about it.
The other end sent another four words: "Underground smuggling."
Wood took a serious look, entered the keywords into the search, and immediately contacted the king, keeping the source of the information a secret.
Pay attention to the issue of parasitic species 001.
However, the Imperial group wasn't very efficient. Following the underground smuggling route, it took them three years, with the secret help of 001 who couldn't stand by and watch, to finally find the source amidst numerous obstacles.
There's a mad scientist on the Star Alliance's side who studies the genes of animals, plants, and humans, and tries to mix them to cultivate "new varieties." The parasitic species is one of the escaped test subjects. It has high intelligence and the ability to hide, and has never been found.
That madman used various genes to mix with humans, creating creatures such as the Butterfly Woman, the Snake Man, and the Mermaid, which he then sold to wealthy people with special fetishes. The parasitic species then escaped by hiding inside these alien species.
During the smuggling process, it came into contact with all the darkness, and learned greed and desire. Its wisdom turned into cunning. After careful consideration, it handed over the eggs it had painstakingly laid to these alien species.
Those unfortunate souls who were parasitized were wealthy people with unusual fetishes who accidentally bought a different species carrying parasitic eggs and thus became infected.
Upon learning this, 001 suddenly received a message from the main system, and after reading it, his face immediately darkened.
There is a second part to the story of Xavier and Ling Qiushui. The story is roughly about the female protagonist being parasitized by a parasitic mother, which attracts the attention of a mad scientist who has been investigating her. After the concert, she is kidnapped and tortured.
Xavier went through countless hardships to find and save her. Together, they uncovered a shocking conspiracy. Then, through various means, they rescued the parasitized heroine, eliminated the villains, and the male and female protagonists also gained superpowers that reached level fifteen without any side effects.
The female protagonist also became the only person in the entire galaxy with both of her attributes exceeding S-rank.
001 shared this with Di Xiu, then went to the main system to condemn the incomplete worldline it provided.
