Although Lewis Swift firmly believed that nothing would happen to his old friend, based on the terrifying power of the infectious disease described in the news reports, he felt that the situation would not be much better. At most, those who had trained together and learned the basic cultivation techniques would be able to survive safely, but it was hard to say about those ordinary people.
He had already made all the preparations and planned to take his old friend, who was haggard and exhausted both physically and mentally, back to the capital planet.
What's the result? !
What did he see? ! ! !
Each of them looked radiant, not like they were struggling to survive on a planet plagued by an epidemic. There were green mountains and clear waters, and a bonfire, roasting king bug meat and some strange, large white eggs. The aroma alone made him hungry...
Lewis felt like he had been cheated!
General Lewis got off the starship and walked towards his old friend in a menacing manner. When he was about to call him to task, he was startled by a bug leg that was suddenly handed to him.
"Hey, you've arrived just in time! Freshly roasted king worm legs! You're in for a treat!"
Smelling the delicious aroma of the king insect meat, Lewis decided to eat it first as a sign of respect, and then settle the score with the old guy after he was done!
General Williams, seeing his old friend enjoying the meal, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He'd be embarrassed to scold him too harshly later, wouldn't he? It wasn't that he kept quiet on purpose; wasn't he just worried someone might be targeting him? If he wasn't careful, he'd be exposed.
While his old friend was enjoying his meal, Williams slowly told him everything that had happened.
The more Lewis listened, the more solemn his expression became, and in the end, the delicious food in his mouth became a little hard to swallow.
"Are Derek and Aiden crazy?"
"Isn't that just crazy?" Carter smiled wryly and shook his head. Power really can drive people crazy. "They came up with the parasite, so they definitely have a solution. You're just their cannon fodder. They can solve two of their biggest problems at once. Aren't they overjoyed?"
Lewis agreed. After Arnold's fall, Führer Derek delayed selecting a successor, instead allowing Eden to temporarily assume command of the Fifth Army. If either of them met with disaster, there would be no one left to challenge Derek. As for Harrison Isaacs, that reckless but reckless fellow, he simply wasn't fit to be Führer. While this move was certainly insidious, if it succeeded, it would be a foolproof plan.
Unfortunately, Derek and Aiden never imagined that General Williams had a future daughter-in-law who had a cheat...
Thinking of this, Lewis couldn't help but sigh, why is such a good daughter-in-law not his own? !
Looking at Lewis's face full of envy and jealousy, Carter couldn't help laughing.
********
Capital Star, Star Port.
Lewis Swift had not been heard from since he passed away. Aiden and Derek waited patiently for ten full days before they finally issued a press release stating that the virus in the 42nd star field was raging badly and that the life and death of General Lewis Swift, commander of the Second Army, was uncertain. This caused a huge uproar among the people of the entire federation, and almost everyone was worried that this horrible virus would spread.
At this critical moment, President Derek Bridges announced that the institute had developed a vaccine based on virus samples extracted from the 42nd Star Region, but further testing was needed to determine its effectiveness. At this critical juncture, Aiden Gladstone volunteered to lead the First Army to the 42nd Star Region.
The reputations of President Derek and General Gladstone reached their highest point at this time. In the eyes of the people, they were both good leaders who worked hard for the country and the people.
On the day Aiden was about to depart, not only were there a large number of reporters, but many citizens also came to see him off. They saw Aiden risking his life in this expedition. Two generals had died there before him. Even though there was a vaccine, who knew if this untested vaccine would actually be effective? So Aiden's willingness to go to the 42nd Star Region was a heroic act, knowing full well that the mountain was full of danger.
Aiden boarded the starship in high spirits. When he was about to set off, he heard the roar of an aircraft in the air.
Everyone looked up and saw a black dot appear in the sky. As it slowly approached, the figure of a huge starship appeared in front of everyone.
"T-This is the Fourth Army's insignia! Could it be that General Lewis Swift has returned?!"
People looked up in disbelief, and even Aiden walked out of the starship with a look of shock on his face.
What's going on? Is Lewis okay? Is he back safe and sound?! And what about Williams?
How is this possible? ! ! ! !
The parasite is highly contagious and has a terrifying mortality rate. Even if you are wearing a mecha and the most stringent protective clothing, there is no way to resist its invasion. Once Plan B is activated, it will be a fatal outcome. The 42nd Star Region will become a sea of corpses and blood, and Williams and Swift will also die there.
But what was going on now? How did Lewis come back?! Even more damning, their people hadn't received any news! A starship this large, and even after entering the capital planet, satellites and radar hadn't detected anything amiss?!
Aiden's mind raced, and he shouted, "This is unusual! Everyone, get out of here immediately!"
The people, unsuspecting, immediately fled the starport. This was, after all, a starship returning from the 42nd Star Region. Who knew if there were any other sources of infection on board? What if they were infected too? For safety's sake, it was always best to leave first.
But the journalists could not miss such a big news that would obviously make the headlines. Some people had to stay at the scene at the risk of their lives, while others who cherished their lives took out remote cameras and followed the scene in all directions, making sure not to miss any exciting shots.
Aiden touched the vaccine in his pocket, took a deep breath and walked forward to check the situation of the starship himself.
As he approached, the hatch of the starship opened, and two familiar figures appeared in front of everyone. They were General Carter Williams and General Lewis Swift. They were in high spirits and neatly dressed. They did not look like they were escaping from a desperate situation, nor did they look like they were suffering from an infectious disease.
"It's General Williams!"
Reporters immediately rushed over, focusing their cameras on the two people for all-round shooting, while asking a series of questions.
"The two generals are back? Is the epidemic situation under control?"
"What is the current situation in the 42nd Star Region? What is the death toll?"
"General Williams..."
Before either of them could even open their mouths, they were bombarded with questions from the reporters. They didn't know where to begin and could only keep smiling in front of the camera.
Aiden watched from the side with gritted teeth. This should have been his most anticipated moment, but it was ruined by the sudden return of these two people!
He gritted his teeth, suppressed his resentment, and walked forward. He looked at Carter and Lewis and asked, "What's wrong with you? What's the situation in the 42nd Star Region? If there's nothing wrong, why don't you report it?"
These two simple questions instantly reversed the direction of the situation. Reporters also began to think about this issue. General Williams had gone to the 42nd star field to rescue the people trapped on the colonial planet. Later, he received news that the first battle was a victory. However, an infectious disease suddenly broke out in the 42nd star field. General Williams had no news. General Lewis went to search and rescue, but also lost contact. The entire federation was worried about them. How come the two generals came back unharmed at this time?
Lewis opened his mouth, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth, with a weird smile, “Hahaha, that’s what happened!”
Lewis, far more articulate than Carter, quickly explained the entire situation. He claimed that the failure to promptly report the situation to the Federation was a complete blunder. General Williams' initial rescue mission to the 42nd Star Region was a complete success, but unfortunately, an epidemic suddenly broke out. Fortunately, it was discovered early, and General Williams, after exhausting all available resources, was able to contain the virus.
However, all the energy stones they carried were used up, and they couldn't even start the starship, let alone report to the Federation.
Lewis arrived just in time, helping him settle the people and ensuring all possible virus transmission had been eradicated before the two decided to return. He didn't report the incident because, en route to the 42nd Star Region, the starship was hit by a space storm, causing a communications failure.
Anyway, after all, it's all coincidence.
The public didn't care about that. All they needed to know was that General Williams had eliminated the Zerg and controlled the spread of the virus. That was enough! As for the fact that he hadn't reported it in time, that wasn't a big deal!
The author has something to say: [A small theater on the stupid road]
Lewis: The Williams cats will fight.
Scott: Yes, the big tiger is very handsome!
Lewis: The Williams cat is a teasing cat.
Scott: Yes, Hall and Oakland are amazing! They are a perfect match!
Lewis: The Williams cat is cute.
Scott: Yes, the little fur balls are cute!
Lewis: You idiot, please be more careful!
