Chapter 89
After leaving the prison, Fu Qin kept thinking about the reason why she couldn't control Romilda. The last time she used her mental power to control Romilda, she successfully made her reveal Luce's location. Why did she fail this time?
Fu Qin reflected carefully, confirming that the steps were identical both times. The only difference was the environment. The first time, they were outdoors, surrounded by a screen; the second time, they were indoors, without a screen.
She couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the partition net affected Davis's control over the second-generation mutants?
In order to confirm this speculation, Fu Qin directly ordered people to set up a mental barrier net outside the room where Romilda was imprisoned.
After they finish setting it up, Fu Qin will try again. Then it will depend on whether Davis can still control Romilda.
After explaining the work at the prison, Fu Qin went to the technical department inside the battleship and took out the operating table and the host computer stored in the earring space.
Several technicians were shocked when they suddenly saw such a large operating table appear out of thin air in front of them.
"What is this?" someone asked cautiously.
Fu Qin replied, "The mainframe retrieved from the underground laboratory on Planet C-146 should contain important information. See if you can open it and export all the data."
After hearing this, several people suddenly realized what was going on and quickly took over, gathering around the host to study it.
After an inspection, someone told Fu Qin, "General Fu, this host has a security lock built into it. It's also wired to a self-destruct program. If anyone tries to force it open, it will detonate and automatically destroy the data inside."
Fu Qin was still a little unaccustomed to the name "General". After a second of reaction, she asked, "Can you unlock it?"
They exchanged a glance. "Yes, we can, but it'll take some time. Are you in a hurry?"
Fu Qin immediately waved his hand: "I'm not in a hurry. Take your time. Just don't lose the data inside."
"yes."
After receiving Fuqin's reply, several people immediately started to get busy.
Fu Qin stood aside and watched for a while, then realized that he couldn't help much, so he simply said, "You guys are busy. Remember to contact me after you open it, and I won't bother you anymore."
"Okay, Admiral." Several people answered without looking up, all concentrating on their research.
After leaving the technical department, Fu Qin went to find Song Tingyun.
The other party was sitting in the command room with his subordinates reviewing surveillance footage from various parts of the third galaxy.
The notice about the closure of the third galaxy jump point has been released on the Star Network. The reason for the closure is explained in the notice, and safety issues are emphasized again. It is recommended that residents of the third galaxy carry masks with them and stay at home as much as possible.
After watching the video, many people said that although the closure of the jump point has caused them considerable trouble, they still support the military's decision and hope that the military can solve the mutant problem as soon as possible.
Of course, there are also voices of opposition. Some people believe that freedom is restricted and their own safety cannot be guaranteed.
But these are relatively small sounds after all and are still within the controllable range.
However, if Davis cannot be found for a long time and the jump point cannot be reopened for a long time, these voices will only become louder and louder, and eventually drown out the voices of support.
So the top priority right now is to find Davis as soon as possible.
Only by getting rid of Davis can new second-generation mutants be prevented from emerging.
Song Tingyun had already made arrangements for the search plan.
In several key areas, no abnormalities have been found near the jump points.
All transport vessels under Luce's name have been basically checked and are currently being searched for according to the list. Some of them are stationed in the starports of various galaxies, some have been intercepted during flight, and there are still a few starships that have not been found.
The starships that were not found will be the focus of the next search.
As for the members of the Luce family, they were all controlled before they could figure out the situation. During the process, some people even shouted Anthony Luce's name in an attempt to scare away the advancing soldiers, but unfortunately, his name was no longer useful.
Other minor nobles who were attached to the Luce family were also under investigation. The number of them was huge and complex, and almost covered all the old nobles in the third galaxy.
They had always followed the Luce family's lead, wielding power and authority, and were known for their influence in the Third System. Now, the situation has changed, and all their positions have been stripped. What awaits them is complete demotion to becoming just another member of the Interstellar Federation.
Whether they were involved in Luce's plan remains to be determined, and they will be tried in a public military court.
It must be said that through this investigation, the forces behind the Third Galaxy were almost eradicated, and the Federation was finally able to truly control the Third Galaxy.
After Guan Yaohua, who was far away in the capital star, learned about the situation in the third galaxy, he also began to prepare to use the incident of Luce creating mutants to attack the old nobles in other galaxies.
This incident actually accelerated the cleaning progress of the old nobles, which was an unexpected surprise.
But back to the third galaxy, there are too many people associated with the Luce family, and all of them may be related to Davis's whereabouts, so their aircraft cannot be let go and need to be checked in depth.
But what Song Tingyun didn't expect was that the list of aircraft owned by this group of people alone was more than ten pages long, and it was impossible to check it all.
It can be seen that they have made a lot of money over the years.
Seeing that his subordinates were busy and confused, Song Tingyun simply joined in when he had time to investigate the surveillance.
So this is what Fu Qin saw after entering the command room.
After understanding the situation, she spontaneously joined the team checking the surveillance footage and also brought Ye Mingluo with her.
Although Ye Mingluo looked reluctant when he came, he still started working diligently.
If someone entered the command room at this time, they would find that everyone in the room, whether marshals, generals, or ordinary soldiers, were sitting together regardless of class, staring at the full-screen surveillance cameras.
With everyone's concerted efforts, the list was finally completed.
But the aircraft on the list all looked very normal and did not seem like Davis's escape vehicle.
So where does that leave Davis?
While Fu Qin was thinking, he scanned the list in his brain from beginning to end, and always felt that something was missing.
At this time, someone knocked on the door of the command room.
The people who came in were the ones guarding Romilda.
He told Song Tingyun that Romilda had the same condition as the previous mutant, sitting in the corner with dull eyes and no longer having any independent consciousness.
Upon hearing this, Fu Qin immediately asked, "Is the mental power barrier net ready?"
Although the guard didn't understand Fu Qin's intention in asking about the partition net, he still answered truthfully: "Not yet."
It takes time to build a partition net. The last ambush was well prepared, so it could be set up in an instant, but if you want to build it normally, it cannot be set up immediately.
After getting the answer, Fu Qin became more and more suspicious that the blocking net could block Davis's control over the second-generation mutants. Otherwise, how could Romilda, who was normal before, suddenly lose her self-awareness during the construction of the blocking net?
Thinking of this, Fu Qin told Song Tingyun his guess.
After listening to it, Song Tingyun also felt that it made sense.
He added: "Assuming your speculation is correct, then Romilda's sudden loss of consciousness means that she has some useful information that could be used against Davis."
For example: Davis's whereabouts.
As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Qin felt as if he had been enlightened.
She finally remembered what was missing from the list.
"Danhe!" Fu Qin stood up, "Romilda's mercenary group is not on the list."
As a mercenary group primarily relying on shady income, they were willing to do anything for money, making them easily overlooked. Furthermore, Dark River wasn't officially affiliated with Luce, but rather a private organization, so they had been omitted from the list.
Song Tingyun also reacted immediately and went to check the location of the Lookout starship.
Others also launched investigations.
Soon, they found the Lookout.
The starship is docked at the resource-rich port of Wright Star.
Song Tingyun checked the surveillance footage at the starport and discovered that the mercenaries on the starship were carrying cargo, including food and fuel, into the starship in batches. It seemed that they were about to embark on a long-distance interstellar journey.
This is very questionable.
The leader of Dark River is being held in custody by the Federation. Not only do the other mercenaries in the mercenary group not want to rescue him, but why are they planning to travel so far?
Song Tingyun made a prompt decision and immediately set out with Fu Qin to lead the team to intercept. Before leaving, he left a few people behind to continue monitoring the movements of the Lookout so that they could report the situation at any time.
In addition, Ye Mingluo was also left behind to take charge of the warship to prevent any emergencies.
In order to avoid being discovered by the other party in advance, Song Tingyun did not let large aircraft follow, but instead selected 30,000 mecha soldiers, and a group of people rode on mechas and headed towards Light Star.
When they arrived nearby, the Lookout was still docked at the Wright Starport.
Because he couldn't let ordinary people in the starport get involved, Song Tingyun didn't approach immediately, but waited patiently for the Lookout to return to outer space.
After waiting for more than two hours, the Lookout finally took off.
Fu Qin and his group also took action and set up an ambush outside the planet Light along the route of the Lookout.
So, after the Lookout left Light Star, it slowly and unknowingly entered the encirclement of the federal army.
It wasn't until they saw a large group of mechas surrounding them from all directions that the people inside the Lookout realized they had been caught. But by then, they had already been caught in the net and were forced to stop.
Bai Hao and Qian Xing stood at the two ends of the Lookout, one in front and one behind, looking at each other from afar.
"Are you ready?" Song Tingyun asked in the channel.
"It's been prepared for a long time." Fu Qin answered decisively.
Upon hearing this, Song Tingyun sent a communication request to the Lookout.
This was the last chance he gave the Lookout.
