And control of such a giant structure has been seized at this special moment.
It can't be said that someone took it in order to evacuate the people of Caimo Star Region from this dangerous place? It can't be that they asked Zuo Jing, who had already hidden in the underground of the Yunluo Star Earth Core Furnace Power Tower in the Luxi Star System, to retreat. After all, the star gate is in Caimo-1.
Then there is only one reason left for the Star Gate to be seized.
Someone wants to use the star gate to come to Cai Mo.
After Chen Ming learned the news, he immediately contacted his Afterglow Fleet.
He had a total of 300 spaceships in Caimo, divided into four fleets of 75 ships each, staying outside four galaxies respectively.
Now, since he has confirmed that Zuo Jing’s people are actually in the Lusi galaxy, there is no need for the Yuhui fleet in the other three galaxies to stay there any longer.
At the same time, there was no need for him to continue paying attention to the progress of the civil war in the Fifth Legion.
These are things that the Fifth Legion should resolve on its own.
So Chen Ming gave the order at this time, and the Afterglow Fleets of the other two galaxies that were closer to Luxi among the other three galaxies went directly to Luxi and prepared to provide assistance.
The remaining fleet immediately used the hyperspace channel jump engine to the location of the Caimo-1 star gate.
The news of the Star Gate being captured came from the boss.
But the boss just said the news and did not specify more precise details.
Obviously, the boss also obtained the information through his subordinates or other sources.
If he really needed accurate first-hand intelligence, he could only investigate it himself.
Take advantage of the time when the fleet passes by.
Chen Ming also dealt with An Wuping's affairs at the same time.
When he received the news from his boss, An Wuping happened to be using hyperspace to jump directly from the neighboring galaxy to the Luxi galaxy.
At this moment, An Wuping, who was in the space at the edge of the galaxy, could clearly see the large number of spaceship wreckage nearby.
It was obvious that a great war had just taken place here.
Based on the situation of the surviving spacecraft and the records left by Chen Ming's Afterglow Fleet further away, the situation here has gradually become clear.
At the beginning of the chaos of the previous civil war.
With its absolute numerical advantage, the Fifth Legion immediately cleared out all the spaceships that did not belong to the Fifth Legion camp.
Only Chen Ming’s Afterglow Fleet was too iconic, and it avoided the main battlefield at the first moment, thus escaping the disaster.
Even just now, if any of the Fifth Legion's spacecraft took the initiative to attack his fleet, it would be immediately counterattacked by other Fifth Legion fleets.
After all, Chen Ming came here to cooperate with the Fifth Legion at the request of the president, to help the Fifth Legion deal with some issues that it had not had time to deal with.
A really good person.
Anyone who attacks Chen Ming must have something wrong with his brain, and of course he will be more likely to become a target of others.
Therefore, even if Chen Ming’s Afterglow Fleet did nothing, it still made some contributions.
With most people apparently still maintaining their sanity, those members of the Fifth Legion who were not affected by the Left Path Psychics quickly took control of the situation after the battle.
After all, under normal circumstances, it is very likely that only a part of the people on a spacecraft will be affected.
As for those who are not affected, as long as they are affected, they only need to tie up or kill the affected commander.
At least in the Luci galaxy, the Fifth Legion's fleet achieved the final victory and stabilized Luci.
However, in the chaos just now, there were still some people who took advantage of the fact that the Fifth Legion had no time to care about too much and broke through the Fifth Legion's blockade, entered the galaxy, and went to all the inhabited colonies and space stations in the galaxy.
Such a situation would definitely stimulate Zuo Jing, so the Fifth Legion had to send personnel to various places inside the galaxy.
Since the exact location of the left path cannot be determined yet, let's just launch a comprehensive investigation.
There should be some people landing on Yunluo Star by now.
I don’t know if they will discover the left path hidden under the Earth Core Furnace Power Tower.
If there are people controlled by Zuo Jing among these people, then I'm afraid many of them will go to Yunluo to stop those who might discover Zuo Jing.
Just as Chen Ming was analyzing what had just happened through An Wuping's perspective.
He also noticed that the Fifth Legion had begun to reorganize the galaxy's defenses, preparing to blockade the galaxy again.
With the civil war that just happened, most of the people affected by Zuo Jing were restricted.
Then the subsequent blockade will surely turn this galaxy into a complete chaos.
However, with An Wuping's current identity, it is not easy for him to appear in front of the Fifth Legion openly.
There's nothing we can do about it.
Without much hesitation, Chen Ming crushed the last Black Mist Heart Spirit Bead he got from Qianmian.
With the help of the shadow of the Fifth Army's fleet, Chen Ming successfully entered the interior of the galaxy and began to approach Yunluo Star.
at the same time.
In the core of the Caimo star field, the Caimo-1 star field.
The fleet sent by Chen Ming finally arrived at the edge of the galaxy where the star gate was located.
Even outside the galaxy, Chen Ming could see through the sensor that in the center of the huge star gate device located inside the galaxy, there was a layer of film that looked somewhat unreal and like a mirror, slowly filling the inside of the star gate.
This is the outward manifestation that the Stargate is being activated.
It seems that the people guarding the star gate not only lost it, but also did not have time to cut off the power and seal the star gate.
Under normal circumstances, it takes a long time for the Star Gate to restart after a power outage, but if it is just in standby mode, it can be started at any time.
Around the star gate that was being activated, there was a mixed and somewhat chaotic fleet gathered together.
Not only are there fleets from various forces, but even the fleet of the Fifth Legion, which should have been responsible for driving away these forces, is mixed in.
Judging from the situation, chaos broke out within the Fifth Legion when it was stationed here.
Perhaps they themselves could suppress the chaos just like the Fifth Legion of the Lucy Galaxy.
But obviously when they wanted to do this, other forces that were driven away in the other four galaxies and wanted to take advantage of the situation came to cause trouble.
Ultimately, the Fifth Legion suffered heavy losses and had to evacuate in a hurry, and control of the star gate was completely seized.
Here the Fifth Legion failed.
Sure enough, many of the people from other forces who had gathered near the Fifth Legion were also influenced by Zuo Jing.
Otherwise, they would not have come to such a place to cause trouble after giving up the idea of attacking the four galaxies where the Fifth Legion was gathered.
It is understandable that they would compete with the Fifth Legion for the psykers of Zuo Jing or the psychic beasts released by Zuo Jing.
But using violence to seize a star gate that has nothing to do with Zuo Jing would do those people no good at all.
And after ending the attack on the Fifth Legion, they gathered together and guarded the area near the star gate.
This situation made Chen Ming completely certain of how great the influence of Zuo Jing's brainwashing psychic was.
However, Chen Ming was now watching the situation inside the galaxy from a distance, and no one influenced by Zuo Jing's psychic came out to stop him.
People affected by the Left Path don't seem to mind that there are people at the edge of the galaxy.
Because in addition to Chen Ming's fleet, there are actually quite a few other spaceships on the edge of the galaxy.
It was someone on one of these spaceships who provided the boss with the information here.
And those who were brainwashed by Zuo Jing obviously only cared about the situation of the Star Gate.
They have to wait for the star gate to open completely and welcome the people behind the star gate.
Chen Ming had only seen some information about Star Gate on paper, so at this time there was really no way to prevent such a situation from happening.
Anyway, it's impossible to fight.
Although the fleet here is mixed, there are at least sixty cruisers and more destroyers and escorts.
Fortunately, there are no battleships here, otherwise Chen Ming’s fleet would have to run away as soon as it arrived.
But even if there were only cruisers, he couldn't possibly cause trouble in front of so many cruisers.
Although Chen Ming has the ability to manufacture cruisers, the number of cruisers he has on hand has not changed much. He only maintains twelve ships, which is enough for him.
One reason is that the cost of manufacturing a cruiser is too high, and another reason is that no one like Yu Hui can drive the cruiser that was manufactured.
Even if we take into account those individuals with sufficiently strong consciousness that were born in the mechanical race's hive mind network during this period, Chen Ming himself can control nine cruisers, as well as the Alpha-class afterglows that Chen Ming has on hand.
In a short period of time, Chen Ming could only produce more than 20 cruisers.
They can fight against the fleet on the Star Gate side, but there will definitely be losses.
These sixty-odd cruisers were more than enough to concentrate their fire and destroy his cruiser directly before his repair psychic power could take effect.
And if he really wanted to fight, he would have to jump the cruiser back continuously.
Not to mention whether he has enough mental strength to build more than a dozen cruisers and then jump back a total of more than 20 cruisers from abroad.
He said that the current situation was purely caused by the Fifth Legion's own failure to withstand the pressure, and he would not clean up the mess for the Fifth Legion.
It’s not the boss of Baiquan or Director Wu.
So Chen Ming decided to continue taking a look at Caimo-1.
Let’s look at Zuo Jing’s subsequent movements. Who exactly are they trying to send here by occupying this place?
While Chen Ming's Afterglow Fleet on Caimo-1 was waiting for any movement at the star gate on the left.
An Wuping, who was also controlled by Chen Ming and was far away in the Luxi galaxy, finally approached Yunluo Star.
This is a planet that looks almost pure white in appearance.
The climate of the entire planet is relatively cold.
It snows for most of the orbital period.
Of course, this planet can still be considered a habitable planet.
It is precisely this climate with snow for most of the year that gave this planet the name Yunluo.
However, although it was snowing in most parts of the planet, there was no such situation near the Earth's Core Furnace Power Tower, the most important industrial building on the planet.
The huge amount of heat brought by the Earth's Core Furnace Power Tower has already affected the nearby climate on a macro level.
So when it snows somewhere else.
It will only rain near the Power Tower.
In the drizzle.
With the help of the last bit of spiritual energy given by the Black Mist Heart Spirit Pearl that he had just crushed, An Wuping reached the industrial area near the Earth Core Furnace Power Tower.
He stepped out from the shadows and appeared near a warehouse not far from the power tower.
At this time, Chen Ming could sense some spiritual energy fluctuations from various locations in the industrial zone.
Apparently there were other psychics here as well, but I didn't know if they were friends or foes.
But Chen Ming could be sure that he was underneath the Earth Core Furnace Power Tower not far away.
Chen Ming identified the direction and stepped out.
However, before he had taken a few steps, he suddenly heard a tiny scream that was immediately cut off.
He turned his head and saw a middle-aged woman in her forties wearing work clothes next to a nearby warehouse.
She was holding a big bag full of food in her hand, covering her mouth with her hands, her eyes full of fear.
Chen Ming is already used to seeing this kind of look.
After confirming that this middle-aged woman was not a psychic nor someone in charge of surveillance.
Chen Ming exited his insect form, revealing his normal human appearance. He waved at her, signaling her to leave quickly.
After the middle-aged woman covered her mouth, nodded frantically and walked away quickly.
Chen Ming also entered the insect stage again and ignored her.
But he still felt a little uncomfortable.
Because there are still ordinary people here...
Chen Ming sighed.
He could only sigh.
Because he had no way to solve this problem.
There is no way for people on this planet to evacuate.
The threat of Zuo Jing has spread to the entire empire, and no one dares to bet whether there will be important figures from Zuo Jing among them if they evacuate the civilians on the planet.
What's more, the population of an industrial colony in a prosperous star field is definitely not something that can be evacuated in a day or two.
All the governors of these planets can do is to let all the people stay at home, rely on government assistance, and wait for the incident to be resolved.
Zuo Jing probably realized this point and chose to carry out the final stage in such a place.
Chen Ming could only silently wish her good luck in his heart.
At the same time, he continued to walk out and headed towards the energy tower.
Just as Chen Ming arrived at the surface of the planet.
Deep underground in the Geocore Furnace Power Tower.
In an empty area.
Qianmian leaned against the supporting column.
Next to him was the person he had been in contact with.
He was also wrapped in a cloak, making it difficult to see his specific appearance.
And in the center of this area, the cloaked man, or the recipient, was sitting there quietly.
Qianmian rubbed his eyes which were a little dry from staring ahead for too long.
When he looked up, he suddenly discovered that the cloak on the recipient was torn to pieces.
A creature with a human upper body and twisted flesh and blood in the lower body appeared before him.
"he!"
"Don't worry."
The person next to Qianmian comforted him and said, "He is evolving. He is receiving the body given by God."
The upper body of the victim also ruptured as the words fell, and a large amount of flesh and blood spilled out, leaving only a head which was quickly submerged in the surging flesh and blood.
A unique psychic energy fluctuation that could not be detected by ordinary psychics emerged from its body and spread to the entire planet.
"You go upstairs, there are people outside."
Qianmian nodded, turned around and got on the elevator.
At this time, Chen Ming had just stepped into the Earth Core Furnace Power Tower, a slightly messy but not too spacious hall.
As soon as he came in, he felt an extremely obvious psychic fluctuation suddenly appearing deep underground.
An unprecedented feeling of greed that seemed to come from within suddenly enveloped him.
The familiarity of this psychic energy fluctuation was obviously released by the incarnation of Zuo Jing.
Are they not going to install it? Chen Ming continued to walk into the energy supply tower with doubts.
His spiritual energy has covered the power tower with his arrival.
He could now directly destroy the entire Earth Core Furnace Power Tower.
However, the collapsed power tower may not necessarily kill Zuo Jing below.
So Chen Ming still planned to go down and personally kill Qianmian and the person that Qianmian mentioned.
He has the ability.
Chen Ming was just thinking about solving the left path below.
Suddenly, a sound of breaking air came from behind him.
Chen Ming didn't feel any danger, so he simply turned around.
A translucent claw suddenly tore across Chen Ming's face.
However, the claw did not leave any trace on Chen Ming's black shell.
After the claw grabbed it, a half-human, half-beast creature was gradually transforming from a translucent shape to a real one.
From the psychic fluctuations on his body, it can be clearly distinguished that this guy is also a psychic, and a psychic of the physical mutation type.
And the direction of his physical mutation happened to be a creature Chen Ming knew, the night owl.
A creature that lives on a planet with a special ecosystem located underground.
This creature relies on darkness to launch a sneak attack on its prey.
When this ability is manifested in a psychic, it becomes the ability to hide one's aura to a considerable extent.
When Chen Ming couldn't sense any danger, he really didn't notice his existence at first.
It’s a pity that this psychic’s ability is still too weak.
The Night Owl Psychic also found that his attack was completely meaningless to An Wuping.
Just as he was about to retreat, Chen Ming had already commented on this guy in his mind. He stretched out his arm, grabbed his head and crushed it.
He didn't have time to capture these psychics right now.
Chen Ming shook off the blood on his hands and looked aside.
He had heard the noise from the elevator next to him from just now.
Just as Chen Ming turned his head, he happened to see Qianmian taking the elevator to the ground floor of the Earth Core Furnace Power Tower.
The moment the elevator door opened, Qianmian showed a not-surprised expression on his face and said, "It's you... As expected, you have been a complete spy from the beginning."
Just as Qianmian finished speaking.
Chen Ming had disappeared from the spot and punched the elevator that Qianmian was riding in.
However, Qianmian immediately turned into black mist to avoid this violent attack.
The wind formed by the air squeezed by Chen Ming's punch could only hit the elevator and the wall next to it.
Noticeable cracks appeared on the wall of the Geocentric Furnace Power Tower, which was strong enough to support its huge weight, and it looked like it could collapse at any time.
Chen Ming looked around at the complicated and shadowy environment and asked Qianmian the same question: "At the beginning? How can you be sure that I was a spy from the beginning?"
A Thousand Faces' voice came from the shadows: "Because only you can spread the news that there are two mind beasts on the space station."
Chen Ming punched again in the direction where the sound came from, clearing away all obstacles in front of his fist.
After confirming that the punch missed, Chen Ming asked again: "Why don't you suspect Hu Yi? Aside from me, isn't he also included in the news you released?"
"He doesn't have the brains or the ability, so you're the only one left."
"Since you know everything, can you just die directly?"
After the word "death" came out, Chen Ming also confirmed Qianmian's location through the perception of his mental power. Plasma wrapped around his fist, and he used a simple punch to hit Qianmian's location again.
A violent explosion occurred where his fist hit.
A piece of almost pure, clear and transparent ice appeared in front of Qianmian, blocking Chen Ming's punch and the impact of the fist explosion.
Qianmian stood behind the solid ice, his eyes fixed on An Wuping.
Qianmian remained silent, and Chen Ming spoke again: "I'm curious, as a psychic, besides copying other people's psychic powers, do you have your own psychic powers that can be used in combat?"
"You'll find out soon enough."
As soon as Qianmian finished speaking, Chen Ming discovered that his spiritual energy fluctuations were leaking.
It leaked towards Qianmian in front of him. Qianmian was absorbing the psychic energy fluctuations and converting them into his own abilities.
Chen Ming's eyes once again flashed with confusion about how Thousand Faces could extract such psychic effects.
But he didn't hesitate and punched with all his strength to break the ice.
Before Qianmian once again transformed into black mist and disappeared in the hall, a ball of plasma condensed in the palm of his hand and threw it directly under his feet.
The blazing white light instantly enveloped the entire hall.
The explosion of plasma pierced through the ceiling, the ground, and several walls.
The space between the three floors above ground and the three floors underground was completely connected, and all the debris was cleared away.
The glow of the plasma continued to wrap around Chen Ming's arm, completely illuminating Chen Ming's surroundings.
The effect of Black Mist's spiritual power will be greatly reduced in a strong light environment.
The location of Qianmian appeared in Chen Ming's perception.
The noise of the battle under the Earth Core Furnace Power Tower naturally attracted the attention of many people.
And that completely undisguised psychic fluctuation was enough to attract the attention of all psychics on Yunluo Star.
Several psychics that Chen Ming had discovered in the industrial zone before immediately began to move towards the power tower. Of course, someone also told others that there were people fighting in the power tower.
The special psychic fluctuations that just came from the recipient deep underground also aroused the greed in the hearts of all the psychics who came over.
Everyone has been affected, the difference is just how serious it is.
