The aurora life is so beautifully described.
A friendship that has lasted for 1,500 years is truly touching.
Upon hearing this, Han Ling and Roderick both touched their noses and looked away somewhat embarrassed. Their earlier questioning now seemed so rude.
However, they couldn't easily believe what the aurora creatures said.
The necessary procedures still need to be followed.
To ease the tension, Roderick said with a smile:
"The Zerg will never treat their friends unfairly. We will definitely thank the Aurora Life at this Tech City Conference in person. If the Aurora Life needs any resources, just let us know, and we will bring them with us."
After a long silence and not hearing a reply from Aurora Life, Han Ling assumed he hadn't heard her clearly and explained:
"You have been away from the Aurora Life Starfield for 1500 years, and you may not know this news."
Recently, the Science City announced its reopening. Soon, all existing advanced civilizations will gather within the Science City. At that time, we will personally thank the Aurora Life Starfield.
Upon hearing this, the person in charge of Aurora Life remained silent, seemingly unsure how to respond.
"Oh! I almost forgot about that!" Han Ling clapped his hands, belatedly realizing what had happened.
"Ordinary people probably don't know about the existence of the Science and Technology City. I've never heard of it before either. Is this the first time you've heard of the Science and Technology City?"
Faced with Han Ling's gaze, the person in charge of Aurora Life could only bite the bullet and reply:
"Yes, this is the first time I've ever heard of a science and technology city."
The office was so quiet that you could hear the sound of fingers scratching the desk.
Under these circumstances, faced with questions from Han Ling and Roderick, the head of Aurora Life had no way to evade or retreat, and could only answer seriously.
The more you talk, the more mistakes you make.
But aurora life has been lying for 1,500 years, and it can even fool itself.
Using the Zerg as a prototype, they connect one lie after another, weaving a net that is watertight. In this description, the Aurora Life is a powerful interstellar race.
After forcing the person in charge of Aurora Life to repeat everything he could say twice, Han Ling and Roderick finally let him go.
It was getting late, and Han Ling glanced at the time; it was about time for Parsons to give his report.
Then Han Ling smiled and said:
"Alright, let's stop here for today. We still have some work to do. Please make yourself at home."
Upon hearing this, Aurora Life breathed a sigh of relief and then fell silent.
Previously, his only contact person was old Flo, and he had never felt such intense pressure.
At his desk, Han Ling turned on his personal computer and contacted Parsons through the enterprise office software.
"How are the reports going today? Have you received any reports?"
Parsons replied shortly afterward:
"The situation is very good. The number of people reporting is higher than we expected, and I am worried that the Third Protection Corps will be short-handed during the arrests."
Han Ling's eyebrows twitched violently upon seeing this message:
"No way, could it be that all the employees of our Lingtian Group have been infected?"
Parsons sent a laughing-crying emoji and replied:
"No, boss, it's because I also added a reward for reporting, which is for all residents of the capital planet. Everyone can participate, so the number of people reporting is relatively large."
I assigned three secretaries to specifically collect reports from outside the company: one to handle reports from campuses, one to handle reports from the general public, and one to handle reports from families.
Therefore, we've received a lot of reports. We may need to have the Third Protection Legion prepare sufficient manpower.
I'm still verifying the specific personnel list and addresses; I'll send them to you in half an hour.
Upon seeing the reply, Han Ling quickly showed Roderick their chat history.
Roderick pondered for a moment, then lowered his voice and said:
"I'll take care of the arrangements over there. Don't worry, we have plenty of manpower."
Because of Han Ling, an unreliable boss, who completely delegated authority in company management, Parsons grew rapidly in just one year. He managed the company quite well, was organized, and was very reliable.
With the company's efficient operations combined with the government's intervention, the arrests will surely be completed swiftly tonight.
Half an hour later.
Han Ling received a long list.
According to Parsons, those who were repeatedly reported have been removed from the list, so only more than 230,000 female insects remain on the list.
The capital city has a permanent population of 300 million, and when you add the floating population, such as students and employees of enterprises, the total number of permanent residents reaches more than 500 million.
Before the news of the bounty was even spread, more than 230,000 people had already been identified.
The virus's reproduction rate has exceeded everyone's expectations.
In addition to counting the number of people, Roderick also drew a distribution map of the patients.
The 230,000 patients are scattered across a wide area, and although there are occasional large gatherings of patients, they are not numerous.
Han Ling looked at these messages, his mind racing. He sent a message asking:
"After analyzing the data, were any commonalities found among the patients?"
Parsons replied:
"According to the investigation results, all infected patients do not have a uniform age, uniform occupation, fixed places of entry and exit, or fixed height and physical characteristics. No commonalities have been found so far."
Han Ling rubbed his fingers together and sent a message to Parsons:
"Send me a copy of the original data, and I'll take another look."
Everything else can be faked, but data never will.
Han Ling felt that these patients must have something in common, because the virus cannot be created out of thin air. They must have some common ground or similarities. If not, it just means that the clues have not yet been discovered.
When a file of raw data arrived, Han Ling opened it, her brain racing as she quickly browsed through it.
Han Ling only needed to look at each patient's information once to imprint it into his powerful mental energy.
Five minutes later, after browsing through the data of any 5,000 patients, Han Ling gasped in shock.
Han Ling quickly said to Parsons:
“You’ve missed a piece of data. These patients all have one thing in common: their average income level is above average. They belong to the high-income group, including those students, who are all from wealthy families or have assets.”
Roderick, who had been observing from the sidelines, was stunned when he saw the message. His eyes were filled with confusion. What kind of virus was this that could cause infection and illness based on personal property? Unbelievable!
Could it be that viruses have evolved brains, can think, and know that wealth has exchange value?
That's impossible, unless the virus was intentionally spread by intelligent beings!
Roderick and Han Ling exchanged a glance, clearly having reached the same conclusion.
Han Lingmo silently sent the document to Roderick.
Roderick pursed his lips, sent a message to Marshal Ruda of the Third Protective Legion, and forwarded the documents at the same time:
"Marshal Lu Da, this is the list of patients. Try to isolate all of these patients tonight. If any abnormalities occur, call in the top laboratory personnel to conduct tests."
"receive."
Immediately afterwards, at the headquarters of the Third Protective Legion on the capital planet, countless female soldiers were fully equipped for battle.
The nighttime arrest operation began silently.
At the same moment, Marshal Lu Da sent an encrypted message using his mainframe computer.
[Roderick's notification: The capture operation on the capital planet has begun. We are short-handed and have deployed the four legions for assistance. There are suspicious circumstances surrounding Aurora Life; cooperation will be discussed further.]
【receive. 】
【receive. 】
【receive. 】
【receive. 】
The four war legions stationed in outer space simultaneously began to move forward, their spaceships shifting into motion.
The pale, desolate flames illuminated parts of the darkness, the energy stones burning silently.
An announcement was broadcast from inside the warship:
[After mobilizing troops for battle, we will reach the second-tier planetary chain of the capital planet in one hour. Two hours later, we will reach the first-tier planetary chain and advance on the capital planet.]
Upon hearing the broadcast, the well-trained female soldiers sprang into action.
The more curious female insects walked along, whispering conversations with those around them.
—What are we trying to do?
—Hey, didn't you understand? We're off to take down the capital planet!
—Huh? To conquer the capital planet?
—Of course, hahaha, our war legion is finally going to embark on the path of rebellion!
——————————
at this time.
Inside the dormitory building of Keimyung University.
Parsons finally finished his day's work. He stood up, stretched, and prepared to go to the bathroom to take a shower and relax.
However, at that moment, he suddenly saw that his boss, Han Ling, had sent him a message.
"Hmm? Is there anything else you haven't finished?"
Parsons sat down again, puzzled, and opened the chat.
[Eldest brother: Parsons, look at this guy, isn't he your brother? How come he's on the patient list too? His appearance and hair color are very similar to yours, I thought it was you!]
Upon seeing this message, Parsons' pupils dilated, and he quickly clicked on the image to check the information.
——————————
【photo】
Name: Pat
[Identity: Student of the 2391st class of the 23rd Military Academy]
Age: 20
[Address: Room 506, Building 12, Fengyuan Dormitory, 23rd Military Academy]
[Reported Account:]
[Reporting Channel: Campus Channel (Not Keimyung University)]
[Detailed introduction: ...]
——————————
After reading the message, Parsons gasped. Who was this? It was his mentally challenged younger brother!
Surprisingly, Pat was also infected!
But……
Parsons quickly took out his personal terminal, retrieved his chat history with his brother, and sent it to Han Ling.
"Boss! This guy is my brother! But I was chatting with him at midnight, and I even told him about the bounty and told him to do his best. Look at our chat history. How did he end up on the list last night?!"
Boss: Don't worry, he's not dead. After tonight's arrest, he'll be safer and his life will be better protected.
Go to the Third Protective Legion headquarters tomorrow. There are some things that require your and your brother's help.
We've run into some tricky problems, and it just so happens that you can help us solve them.
Hearing this, Parsons breathed a sigh of relief, suppressing his unease, and asked:
"Third Protection Legion, can you let me in? That's headquarters."
[Boss: If I don't let you in, message me when you get there, and I'll meet you at the entrance.]
Upon hearing this, Parsons' eyes widened, and he quickly asked:
"You've come to the capital planet?"
[Boss: Yeah, they came this afternoon, I didn't have time to tell you.]
Parsons received an affirmative answer and was so excited he almost jumped for joy; his blood was boiling.
In Parsons' heart, Han Ling was not only his boss, but also his benefactor in life, his mentor, his idol, and his provider!
Now, Parsons can finally see Han Ling in person!
Parsons said excitedly:
"Ahhh! Boss! Our Lingtian Company has finally reunited on the capital planet!"
We must take this opportunity to hold a large company dinner so that everyone can see your true face, Boss!
You are someone everyone admires; everyone in the company admires you.
This is the first time our company has come together as a whole!
Parsons sent the message, but didn't receive a reply for a long time.
He frowned anxiously, thinking: Does the boss not want to show his face? That makes sense; the boss usually doesn't turn on the camera during meetings. Besides, the boss is a male insect, and having a feast with tens of thousands of female insects is indeed something he didn't consider.
Parsons typed some more words in the chat box, but before he could send them, he received a reply from Han Ling.
[Boss: Parsons, let's resolve this first, then we can talk about the dinner party. Your brother has been infected, so you probably won't be able to eat anything at the party. Remember to be at the Third Protective Legion headquarters at 9 a.m. tomorrow.]
"Uh...yes, sir."
After sending that message, Parsons scratched his head awkwardly. In his excitement, he had completely forgotten about his silly younger brother.
We definitely need to resolve this virus issue first before discussing company matters.
However, the thought of seeing Lord Han Ling in person made Parsons' lips curl up in a smile.
He went through all the unpleasant things in his mind, but he couldn't suppress the upward curve of his lips.
"I'm meeting Lord Han Ling tomorrow, so I need to get ready and pay attention to my appearance."
Parsons paced back and forth in his dorm room with a smile on his face, looking for tools that could improve his personal image.
It's 3 a.m.
While everyone else was falling asleep.
Parsons is still figuring out what to wear tomorrow.
But suddenly, Parsons stopped in his tracks.
There's someone outside!
Parsons cautiously lifted the clothes in his hands and looked out through the peephole at the door.
An unfamiliar figure appeared outside the door, standing out prominently under the dormitory hallway lights.
It was a tall, robust female insect. She had short, dark green hair, bronze skin, and a broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted inverted triangle body. She wore only combat pants and boots. Her exposed upper body was decorated with a peculiar pattern painted in white and gold.
Suddenly, the female insect turned around sharply, her deep, dark green eyes devoid of any emotion, and her thin face adorned with golden bite guards that covered her mouth.
The female insect raised two fingers and pressed them vertically onto the bite stopper.
Shh.
Parsons quickly covered his mouth to keep himself from making a sound.
Damn it! What are those female soldiers from the Fourth War Legion doing at their school?!
The Fourth War Legion, the Midnight Lords, the Green Moth Clan, are characterized by their deep bronze skin and green hair.
In the cat's eyes, the female soldier raised her hand, and in her hand, she was dragging a female insect.
Then, the female soldier, carrying the female insect, climbed over the dormitory building's railing and jumped down.
During this time, not a sound was made.
After the female soldier left, Parsons belatedly realized, "Could this be the arrest the boss was talking about?"
230,000 diseased female insects is indeed an excessive number.
The female soldiers of the War Legion must have come to help.
"Everyone says the eight legions are at odds, but it seems to be just a rumor. The fact that the War Legion has appeared suggests that things might really be serious."
After thinking for a moment, Parsons decided not to choose clothes for now and just go to sleep.
He needed to conserve his energy for tomorrow's meeting, because the boss said he needed his help.
