Yang Jia found himself sleeping through the entire process and didn't know what expression to make.
Li Bai thought her attitude was good. "You deserve to sleep well," she said. "Once you've done what you need to do, you don't have to worry about anything else. Because you have faith in me, don't you?"
Indeed, in terms of credibility, compared to Yang Jia's numerous bad deeds, Li Bai always appeared to be very reliable, and she rarely put herself in desperate situations, causing Yang Jia to worry about her.
But this doesn’t mean that Yang Jia can sleep soundly when Li Bai is in danger!
I simply can’t bear to think about it. The more I think about it, the more I feel that I have no conscience.
Yang Jia slapped his face, trying to sober himself up, and asked Li Bai, "What's the specific situation?" Looking at Li Bai's expression, it was clear that several parties must have won, but it was still necessary to understand the process of the uti.
"As expected, news of the vaccine has leaked. Their motive is clear: to steal it," Li Bai said. "But we were well prepared, so we naturally wouldn't let them succeed. Plus, your new system is incredibly powerful. We lured them into a trap, creating a brilliant ambush."
"Then what's with that smell of gunpowder?" Logically speaking, large weapons aren't used on Earth, so guns alone shouldn't be able to create such a strong smell.
Li Bai's expression became grim upon mentioning this. "They caused a small explosion. Because it was a human bomb, we didn't have time to stop it."
"What is the extent of the damage to the spaceport? Are there any casualties?"
When asking this question, Yang Jia had already begun to use his abilities to recall that battle.
But this is reality after all. Although the Internet has spread to every corner and is used by the lowest class of people, at this time, it is still not as good as the all-round, multi-angle, and no-dead-angle God's perspective retracing in the game. Instead, it can only piece together the scenes at that time from the screens of various monitors.
But this was enough. The spaceport was a key military location, so it was naturally well-equipped with various monitoring equipment. Most of the fighting took place within the monitoring range.
However, what Yang Jia could see was only up to the explosion.
Although Li Bai described it as a small explosion, the impact actually encompassed almost the entire spaceport, destroying most of the equipment and, naturally, preventing further recording. Satellites in the sky were not affected, but the thick fog created by the explosion lingered for a long time, making it impossible to capture specific footage.
So Yang Jia had to turn his attention back to Li Bai.
Li Bai said, "There are no casualties. The spaceport is essentially paralyzed. If you hadn't used a shell company to transfer the main system out ahead of time, we would have been completely wiped out. Even so, it will probably take some time to repair this place."
“Where’s the vaccine?”
"Some damage has occurred, but it's still within the normal range. With this batch of vaccines, even if we temporarily cut off contact with the outside world, it won't be a big deal for us." Li Bai said, "They probably want to keep us for a decisive battle, but I never planned to leave."
Yes, Li Bai's strategy from the beginning was to deal with Earth matters on Earth and not bring problems to Planet Hope. So, wanting to see her exiled to space? That's impossible.
What's more, now that they have the upper hand, it is even more impossible for them to leave like this.
To be frank, the other party's action actually helped Li Bai and Yang Jia.
After all, Li Bai couldn't command so many people yet, and was primarily focused on collaborating with various parties. This meant that while she had command authority, she didn't have the decision-making power. If her allies felt Earth was too dangerous and wanted to return to space, she wouldn't be able to stop them.
Now that their retreat was cut off, everyone had no choice but to stay. Not only did it save trouble, it also avoided internal disagreements, and at the same time gave them the buff of "common hatred against a common enemy."
It is difficult to judge whether the other side is an enemy or an ally.
After discussing this battle, the next step naturally came to discuss the arrangements. Yang Jia shared his previous insights with Li Bai and also shared his plans. "I'll leave the frontline operations to you. I'm more suited to stay behind and provide logistical support. Take over the entire network system as soon as possible. Perhaps more information will be of greater help to us."
After he finished speaking, Yang Jia couldn't help but feel a little puzzled when he saw Li Bai staring at him without saying anything. He looked down at himself, making sure his clothes were tidy before asking, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I just think my Yang Jia is very powerful." Li Bai reached out to tidy up her hair and whispered.
The two looked at each other for a moment before she added, "Just do as you say."
In fact, this was also the route Li Bai had originally arranged for Yang Jia, because she knew that Yang Jia was not actually suitable for facing those battles and life and death. In the game, she might be accustomed to "killing monsters" or even "killing people", but in reality, it was different.
But she didn't expect that before she even opened her mouth, Yang Jia took the initiative to bring it up.
This is really... an indescribable tacit understanding.
Over the next period of time, Yang Jia worked tirelessly to master various systems, filtering and summarizing the information within, and then sending it to Li Bai. Because of her dedication, she paid less and less attention to the war outside, and at most discussed it with Li Bai for a few words. The information she could get was all revealed to her by Li Bai.
In fact, the fighting was fierce.
With that batch of vaccines, Li Bai's forces greatly increased in strength. The enemy clearly realized this, so for survival, they naturally had to use all their strength. After all, even the best things require life to use them, right? Life-saving items were meant to be saved for times like these, so there was no need to be stingy.
But we both have these things. As the battle escalates, anger grows, and the weapons used become more powerful. While restraining ourselves from unleashing large-scale weapons that could potentially trigger a global uprising, we employ everything we can. Naturally, the casualties continue to climb.
The only good news was that they had maintained a not-so-large advantage and held the upper hand. Furthermore, a year had passed in the blink of an eye, and the restoration of the spaceport was nearing completion.
At this point, the situation has become clear.
At this crucial moment, the battle wasn't as intense as before, as everyone was watching. No one wanted to expend their strength on Earth. Since victory couldn't be decided in a short period of time, and they couldn't take it by force, it was better to show weakness and negotiate peace.
They are willing to be recruited in exchange for the opportunity to go to Star Hope.
Although she knew this show of weakness was only temporary and would definitely lead to a reversal if she could seize the opportunity, Li Bai still agreed. After all, what she wanted was also such a noble cause. Whether it was sincere or not, since they had already boarded this ship, it was naturally impossible to let them off easily.
But the Li family never showed any intention of surrendering.
Even without a word from Li Bai, everyone could already guess that she and the Li family were at loggerheads. After all, her upbringing was no secret among the upper echelons. So, the Li family's reaction wasn't surprising, and no one wanted to intercede for them.
Everyone was quietly watching this matter, wanting to see how Li Bai would deal with the Li family.
Judge something from this.
Yang Jia also turned her attention here, working to conquer Li Fang's personal terminal system. Previously, she had only briefly attempted it, but had given up on it after finding it too complex. But now that there were no other threats, she could naturally focus on her research.
For her, cracking these systems could also be considered a form of growth. From now on, similar protections would be useless to her.
As expected, their stubborn resistance didn't last long. Faced with the overwhelming odds, many gave up. Surrendering and being incorporated offered a chance of survival, while continuing to resist would be a pointless waste of vitality. It was clear to everyone that Li Bai was truly targeting only one person.
Although Yang Jia and Li Bai had a clear purpose at the beginning, when the day really came, or when it was close to this day, the two of them felt very complicated.
At that time, Li Fang was undoubtedly a giant to them who they looked up to, but in just a few years, he had reached this point, which was simply unbelievable and absurd.
Yang Jia even noticed that in fact, in the past few years, Li Fang had little presence at all.
He neither interfered too much with Li Bai's behavior nor stood up to lead everyone to fight against Hope Star. His behavior was completely unlike the Li Fang who once dominated the other five families and even the other two districts.
I don’t know what’s going on.
But no matter what, the tide of events was now on their side. Yang Jia believed that, under such a historical trend, no matter how many calculations Li Fang had, they would ultimately be shattered like withered dry weeds and rotten wood.
With the experience gained from conquering other systems during this period, and the efficiency of concentrating his work, Yang Jia's research on Li Fang's personal terminal is nearing completion and will soon make a breakthrough.
At this time, Yang Jia naturally didn't care what he was thinking and focused all his attention on this last level.
After repeated attempts and failures, Yang Jia finally succeeded in cracking the last layer of defense. Li Fang's personal terminal was completely open to her, allowing her to read the information in it.
At this time, she felt a little timid and hesitant.
What exactly would she see in this person's personal terminal?
