The team members' faces showed expressions of exhaustion and despair.
At this moment, the encrypted communication of Tao's expedition team came in: "Leader, we have discovered something! The traitor's spaceship just sent out a very weak directional signal. Although it was interfered by their anti-detection system, we have captured a trace of it. It seems to be... communicating with an unknown target hidden in the distance! The encryption level of the other party is very high. We can't decipher the content, but it feels... it's not a small matter!"
The leader of the force behind the traitor Tan!
Mou Xuan's heart trembled, and this thought flashed through his mind.
There is indeed a deeper existence behind the traitor!
He took a deep breath and looked back at the traitor's spaceship.
The situation has become somewhat clearer.
The appearance of the traitor with intelligence and so-called "help" was more like a carefully planned negotiation, or a test.
The forces behind him may be the real protagonists.
The alliance now needs time and a chance to catch its breath.
"Inspector Yin," Mou Xuan spoke again, "Based on the current information and the intelligence about the traitor, is there any part that we can use in the short term and that is risk-controlled?"
Information examiner Yin pondered for a moment and said, "Chief, if what he said about the 'method to suppress the Soul Devouring Omen' is true and the side effects are within our tolerance range, then its value is immeasurable. As for the intelligence about the forces behind him, it is extremely difficult to verify in the short term, and the risk is also higher. But if we can get the weakness of the 'Soul Devouring Omen' from him, it will be crucial to our current predicament."
Mou Xuan weighed the pros and cons in his mind and finally made a decision.
He activated the external wide-area communication channel, and his voice was clearly transmitted to Yu the traitor's spaceship: "Yu the traitor, I can temporarily consider your proposal. But before that, I need you to show your sincerity first - immediately provide a method to suppress the 'Soul Devouring Doom'! In addition, you and your people must accept our full surveillance. If there is any unusual movement, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Yu the traitor's face deepened. The method is very simple..."
Just when the traitor was about to reveal the key information, Zhou Lao, the representative of the conservative faction of the Zhou Alliance, suddenly stepped forward and shouted: "Chief! Don't do that! This is courting disaster! Once he intervenes, we will be controlled by him! Where is the dignity of the alliance? We would rather die than surrender, and we will never compromise with the traitor!"
"That's right! Leader, please think twice!" Several conservative members responded excitedly.
"Mr. Zhou! Now is not the time to act rashly!" The tolerant people in the Lu Alliance were also anxious. "Are we going to watch everyone die together?"
"Humph, you live in disgrace and associate with traitors. What's there to fear about death?"
For a moment, the debate within the alliance that had just subsided broke out again, and it was even more intense than before!
One side thinks this is a temporary solution, while the other side thinks it is a stopgap measure.
Mou Xuan frowned tightly, and a feeling of irritation that was even more troublesome than when he faced the "Soul-Devouring Omen" surged into his heart.
These energy monsters are dangerous, but at least they have clear goals.
However, the current internal division and suspicion are like invisible shackles, making the actions of the entire team slow and difficult.
With powerful enemies lurking outside and worries of division within, the alliance team that had just escaped seemed to have fallen into another, deeper vortex... and that unknown energy tide was still raging on the battlefield, mercilessly devouring life and hope.
