Chapter 173
Ye Bai was suspended on the empty sea surface of the TEDA Starry Night Hemisphere. As the sea breeze blew, he used the technology that came with the jade terminal for this mission: collecting and cracking information on local civilizations, and biological coating.
The next moment, the irregular mimicry on Ye Bai's body was covered by a layer of [biological paint]. Her clothing style, muscles and bones underwent subtle changes, and she became like most TEDA people.
The change in appearance was only secondary. At the same time, all public and private networks on the entire Teda Star, public and private information, as well as information about intelligent creatures on this planet, all poured into Ye Bai's consciousness.
Apart from the ocean, there is only one largest continent on Terra. The technology on the continent has entered the information age, and classes are rigid. Ninety percent of the planet's wealth is in the hands of less than one percent of the tycoons.
The intelligent life and historical process of this planet are very similar to those of carbon-based life. However, at a certain stage, a drug called "Terra" was discovered that was particularly suitable for improving the genes of Terrans. This drug was controlled by certain forces, leading to the formation of unbreakable class distinctions in Terran society.
The three major consortiums were the first group of psychics who occupied Terra. They turned Terra into genetic medicine. Generation after generation, they eventually formed three major consortiums, each controlling the planet's most critical genetic medicine, energy, and nuclear weapons.
The only way that seems to be able to achieve a class leap is to purchase the Terra series of potions at a high price and take them to become a psychic - psychics are called mutants on Teda Star, and different strengths have corresponding internal names. However, as a C-level task, the highest level of psychics in the entire Teda Star is C-level.
The biggest dream of ordinary people is to be able to afford a bottle of Terra Potion. It is like an admission ticket, attracting generations of TEDA people to come one after another, hoping to become a superpower in one step and work in the three major financial groups, but only a few can really succeed.
It is precisely because of this that most ordinary people on Teda Star are burdened with huge debts from birth that they will never be able to repay in their lifetime, while the chaebol families can rely on more stable genetic drugs to maintain their rule.
At this moment, as the information was collected, it was unfolded in front of Ye Bai without omission. She could even press the button that could bring huge disaster to the creatures on this planet with just a thought.
All the top-secret information and highest technology that the Earth-level civilization is proud of are transparent to the galaxy-level civilization, not to mention the Star Church whose technological level may even surpass that of the cosmic civilization.
In the past, it would have taken Ye Bai a long time to process so much information at once, but now she only needed to pause in the void to understand the general situation.
At the same time, there is also the disaster that the planet is about to face - a gamma-ray burst.
The disaster-related information and mission information were transmitted to Ye Bai's jade terminal. A gamma-ray burst was passing through the vast universe at a just right angle, even avoiding the stars of the Teda galaxy, and would arrive here in ten days.
Gamma-ray bursts can bring catastrophic destruction to living planets. The Blue Planet has experienced one before, which led to the subsequent mass extinction of species and ice age.
The social environment on Teda Star now shows a trend of corruption and madness. A large number of ordinary people are kept in captivity and are engaged in internal competition to support the top-level chaebols. People live a life of drunkenness and debauchery. The slave-owner and landlord-like attributes of the chaebols determine that they just want to guard Terra. Compared with the astronomical and space fields, they pay more attention to the new version of genetic drugs.
In an environment like Terra, where the order among the common people is chaotic and there is no shortage of cults and doomsday rumors, even astronomical observation reports related to gamma-ray bursts were not taken seriously.
After understanding all the information, Ye Bai let out a breath. He felt that even if there was no gamma-ray burst, the civilization of Teda Star would soon come to an end.
At this moment, a message came from the jade terminal.
Ye Bai took a look and saw that it was from another tasker who accepted this task. Perhaps because the nature of this task was different from the last one of closing the wormhole, he could see the star rating and contact information of the other two taskers.
One is two stars and the other is three stars. The one who contacted Ye Bai at this time was the two-star tasker.
"Hello, senior. I'm a C-level mid-level manager. I accepted this mission because I didn't understand the situation, but I feel that there are limits to what I can do. Can I accompany you? If there's anything you need me to do, please feel free to ask..."
The other party sent a long string of messages in extremely respectful terms, the meaning of which was simply "Big Boss, please take me with you."
Lin En stood on an uninhabited coastline. In the distance, he could see a steel city with neon lights illuminating most of the sky. This place was a bit like some transit stations in the chaotic star sea, but the technological content was far inferior. The city was full of gang crimes, medicinal liquor, and gray industries.
He was an orphan born and raised in the Chaos Star Sea. He had finally obtained a terminal and excitedly accepted the C-level mission when he saw it. Later, after finding someone to exchange information, he learned that rescue missions were short in time and extremely difficult. It was even more difficult to guide the migration of a tribe while concealing his identity.
Therefore, after seeing that there were two high-star bosses among those who accepted this mission, Lin En immediately sent messages to them. Although the settlement of the mission depends on the degree of personal contribution, as long as the mission can be completed in the end, the points of the tasker will not be deducted in return.
After sending the message, Lin En collected information about the planet while waiting. The more he looked, the colder he felt.
Ethnic migration is not ethnic transfer. It means that the people on Teda Star should act spontaneously. This means that the people on this planet where the "doomsday legend" has become a cliché should believe that the doomsday has really come.
How to complete this task?
Starting with the arrogant consortium? Their scientific research departments had long received relevant observation reports, but the consortium's response plan was to build an underground shelter. Currently, due to internal factional struggles, this plan is still stuck at the stage of financial allocation.
Mobilize ordinary people? Ordinary people here curse every day why the world doesn't end. When they hear this news, they will probably share it as good news.
Just when Lin En was having a headache, he suddenly received a reply message:
"Where are you now?"
Seeing the message from the responder, Lin En almost jumped up with excitement. He originally thought that the person most likely to reply to him would be the three-star tasker, but he didn't expect that the person who sent the message would be the five-star boss!
Lin En hesitated for just a moment, unable to think of anything about himself that would be coveted by the five-star boss, so he simply sent his location.
Afterwards, Lin En couldn't help but look around, sensing the breath, but when he found nothing, he suddenly heard a voice.
"What should I call you?"
Lin En quickly looked up and saw a figure floating diagonally to his side that had appeared out of nowhere.
Flying in the air and crossing space, there is no doubt that this five-star boss is an A-level strongman!
"Senior... hello... I, my name is Lin En!" Lin En's mind was trembling, and he stuttered a little when communicating with his mental power: "If there is anything I can do for you, please let me know."
Ye Bai used his mental power to scan Lin En. Unlike his empty-handed self, the other party was fully armed, with many machines and weapons hidden by paint. "What are you good at?"
"I have C-level mental power, am good at telekinesis, proficient in combat, and my main weapons are various energy weapons... Oh, I'm also a second-level alchemist in the Myriad Worlds." Lin En introduced himself in a rush. After reporting on his abilities, he also tried to add "weight" to his Myriad Worlds profession.
Ye Bai nodded and continued, "How long will it take you to assemble a long-distance spacecraft using the technology provided by the mission?"
"If all resources are available and the technology is limited to this planet, it will take seven days to manufacture and assemble the robots." After a pause, Lin En continued, "However... if there is a top-secret environment, it can use technology beyond this planet's level and only take one day. But I don't know if this is a violation and will cause the mission to fail."
It's the interstellar age where we can build Dyson spheres to collect stellar energy. It's certainly easy to assemble a long-distance spacecraft that just exceeds the Earth's level. We don't even need to mobilize large-scale manpower. We can just use the materials on this planet to make assembly robots.
Seeing Ye Bai remained silent, Lin En asked carefully, "Senior, shouldn't we first find a way to draw attention to the news of the gamma-ray burst? If we can mobilize manpower to replenish resources in time within seven days, the time can be shortened."
Before, Lin En felt that it was difficult to do these things, but now that he met an A-level strongman, he felt like he had found his backbone.
"No, it's too difficult to expect them to believe it under the current circumstances. You just focus on preparing to build the spacecraft, and I'll take care of the rest."
"Yes!" Facing the A-level boss, Lin En responded instinctively. When he wanted to ask again, Ye Bai had disappeared.
However, Lynn soon found out what the boss was doing.
The TEDA Tower, standing at the center of the headquarters of the three major groups, is the tallest man-made building on TEDA Star and the most famous landmark building on this continent.
Ye Bai landed in front of the huge, empty clock on the TEDA Tower, overlooking the entire city shrouded in neon lights.
Then, she thought about it, and her mental power connected to an electromagnetic wave on the planet.
The next moment, all the broadcasting equipment on the entire planet, including television, communications, mobile GG signs, 3D projections... were all replaced, and replaced by Ye Bai, who looked like an ordinary TEDA person, standing on the TEDA Tower.
"what the hell!"
"What's going on?"
Countless people who were using their devices to watch news, fighting matches, explicit movies, video calls, etc. cursed and changed channels, and adjusted their devices, but unless they turned off the devices, the images would remain, hijacking all networked electronic devices like a virus.
"Good evening everyone, I'm at the top of Teda Tower now."
Ye Bai greeted the people on this planet and then said, "You must be curious about who I am? Or how I got here, and when the armed forces will come to arrest me... Oh, they are here. After all, this place is not far from their headquarters. It only took eight seconds."
The moment the words fell, two psychics dressed in black appeared next to Ye Bai with lightning and fire, attacking him from the left and right.
But in the next moment, Ye Bai's figure "skipped" as if the signal was bad, and the lightning and flames collided with each other under the guidance of some force, exploding into a dazzling "firework".
The fireworks lasted for a while. After the flames died down, to the astonishment of countless TEDA people, the figure was still standing in front of the TEDA Tower, and the clock behind it changed and became a countdown clock.
"Formally introduce myself. You can call me the Messenger of Doom. Because so many people wish for the destruction of this planet, I have appeared. The seven-day countdown is here. Let us welcome the end of Teda together."
“…”
Everyone watching this scene was silent for a moment.
"Hahaha! Where did this madman come from? He actually has some strength."
"It's interesting, I like it, and if this 'Messenger of Doom' can last a little longer, I will become a new fan."
After hearing this inexplicable declaration, the entertainment-oriented TEDA people laughed in front of the screen. Amid their laughter, the armed forces of the three major conglomerates also took action.
