"The Council truly has their wisdom," Captain Wengska said convincingly, "When you think about it, if the Council’s goal was to find a new source of Blockade Bodies, it could break Fermi Research Institute’s monopoly on ’Alige’."
"...Perhaps so."
rid watched as the small snakes entwined, their tails slowly unfurling, seeming to be stopping their knotting.
’Forty minutes later, the rain stopped.’
Removing her armored suit, she released the heavy object in front of her chest and looked through the window at the empty roads on either side. By now, they had driven off the highway and were traveling through a rural area.
In a few more hours, they would reach the transfer station, unload the goods, and hand them over to another team for transport to confuse the judgnt and avoid pursuit from the Fermi Research Institute.
Given how far things had gone, the Fermi Research Institute was sure to catch up.
rid said lightly:
"Captain Wengska, how do you see the future?"
"The future? We should have made significant contributions this ti and will receive quite a few rewards."
Wengska said easily:
"I haven’t thought that much... My child is studying at the Capital, and the bonus from this should be enough for him to graduate. Then I plan to change a sedan, buy a hive, and by then he can marry a wife in the Capital and won’t need to marry a mud woman drenched in Substance Rain."
"A very simple wish."
rid said:
"But the ’future’ I asked about is not this kind — what do you think about humanity, about the Dragon Satellite, as a planet?"
"We have nowhere to retreat ; we can only choose to keep fighting."
Wengska said faintly:
"Although Fermi Research Institute has malicious intentions and disregards human relationships, they probably think the sa way. Facing the Void, all we can do is continue to fight—As for the future, I don’t know, we might be strong enough to repel the Void, but it also depends on the ’King’s’ plan."
rid’s purple eyes blinked as she said softly:
"Yes, the future’s decision-making power is in the hands of the ’King’."
————————————
"It looks like the situation is not very optimistic."
Li Aozi, with chains entwined around his body and sealed in a special container, sighed.
He had originally thought he would face the Void Overlord invading his holand and the continuous forces of the Void, and could seek the local natives’ help with his high "Charm" attribute.
For this, he specially gathered player forces and prepared for a prolonged siege battle.
But as soon as he burst into the inner atmosphere of Dragon Satellite, the system imdiately warned him of a powerful dinsional storm blockade, significantly decreasing his "Constitution" attribute, and then he was contained by an organization called the Fermi Research Institute.
However, this blockade was of no use to him; Li Aozi’s core toughness ca from the Blood Demon Style’s shared Damage and the Health Points provided by his "Bloodline."
The real trouble wasn’t the harsh environnt here...
But that Li Aozi found the locals here to be a bit formidable.
Though they hadn’t developed space technology and their humanities and social sciences were only at the level of a constitutional monarchy, their people still used slightly better than line infantry "line firing squads" tactics, dressed like early Industrial Revolution urban dwellers, but the dical care and technology they enjoyed could rival that of Azure Star.
The land area of Dragon Satellite wasn’t large, less than half of Azure Star, with a population of only four to five hundred million.
But their Species value was astonishingly high.
They started at Zeta Rank (6), and with a bit of training, they could step into Eta (7), becoming professional soldiers.
And the nobility, the old lords of the military, were often at Theta (8),
Through information disclosed by researchers, Li Aozi faintly felt that those knights of the ’Royal Congress’ they ntioned could reach Iota (9).
Luckily, there was no one at Kappa (10) among these people.
It was lucky because, to these people, Li Aozi was just an average person, albeit extrely beautiful, making him perfect as a mascot; so even studied the origin of his Charm.
Unfortunately, Li Aozi heard bits and pieces from their mouths:
’Void Fallen Zone’, ’Polluted Ones’, ’The High Tower has spotted more enemies’...
Many phenona indicated that behind these Void enemies, there might truly be a Void Overlord above the Kappa Rank.
But this wasn’t a big deal because the Void Overlords belonged to the Void Narrative’s species, all the creatures within it called Void Overlords.
No matter how strong this Overlord’s body was, Li Aozi was sure that its projection in the Layer Abyss couldn’t reach Kappa Rank.
Now, it seed that the situation severely contradicted his expectations.
"The Void Overlord did not choose a strong offensive but gradually eroded and atomized, infiltrating the only kingdom on this planet, then linked up, launched guerrilla warfare, and gradually eroded the kingdom’s territory and people."
This tactic was extrely difficult to counter. The best way to restrain them was to mobilize manpower, sever connections, and then carry out continuous sweeps. Only in this way could the scattered Void nodes be crushed one by one.
But here at Dragon Satellite, Li Aozi found this approach to be aningless.
Although the people from the Fermi Research Institute hadn’t successfully contained him or taken him to a safe place, at least they taught him the local language and common knowledge, allowing him to bounce along in the car, listening to the knights of the Kingdom Parliant chatting and talking up front, gaining information.
