"Y-You an another safehold were all sward by the Gilaso and only few people survived?" Shi Tian was in disbelief.
"Is that even possible?" He added.
Even if there are nurous Gilaso that had been hatched, they should still be toddlers, aning they shouldn't be capable of confronting experienced people.
Mary smiled bitterly and turned on her watch function, showing a holographic screen.
Within the holographic screen was a scenery of multiple ruined buildings.
Upon getting a closer look, there was a vivid image of corpses scattered everywhere, but most importantly. There were at least thousands of grown Gilaso scurrying around, with most of them eating the corpses as they shrieked and slithered their tongue.
Needless to say, it was grotesque and grueso images of a deadly battle that had occurred and resulted in the loss of humanity.
"How long ago were these images taken?" Shi Tian pointed at these images and asked.
"It was a few hours ago, and we only managed to receive it now due to the transmission signal being destroyed by the Gilaso during their process of swarming the safehold," Mary responded, her expression being extrely solemn.
Shi Tian had never seen her flashing such a serious face, not even when she was talking about Yolanda or other activities.
Shi Tian wasn't an expert in these types of scenarios, so he patiently remained silent, waiting for Mary's instruction.
A few seconds later, Mary sighed softly. "The fall of the safehold had already been circulated, and Gerald inford that Gearits City had issued a state of ergency after learning of the news."
"So that ans we don't have to do anything else, right?" Shi Tian asked.
If Gearits City had already issued a state of ergency, then it ant that people learned of the tragedy and were now ready to counterattack.
This essentially ans that they don't need to do much since the leading organization party must now co up with a strategy to defend.
However, Shi Tian's thinking was too naive this ti as Mary explained why she was even more worried than before.
"With this state of ergency and images as evidence, I'm afraid the Five Families' influence would only increase further. In fact, they might even use this as an opportunity to eliminate those that are threatening their position." Mary said exhaustively.
Whatever effort and tricks she had played previously were now in the void. They were going back to zero and the situation for them was even worse.
anwhile, Shi Tian finally understood her worries and realized he was truly retarded to believe the higher-ups of Gearits City would wholeheartedly defend against this crisis.
"In that case, then the Harrett Family would definitely use this as leverage to consu Optic ch." Shi Tian exclaid.
"Indeed, our Optic ch, for the sake of our reputation, would have to comply with the state of ergency and be forced to give out resources to defend Gearits City."
A mont of silence then occurred, with Mary sulking and her face filled with frustration.
While Mary was busy trying to compose her emotion, Shi Tian had long cald down and was thinking about so possibilities.
"Could this be another sche?" He murmured, feeling the timing was too coincidental.
"Mary, where did Gerald say the source of the images is from? " Shi Tian asked her.
"Why do you want to know now?" She raised an eyebrow in confusion. Now was not the ti to care about the sources, but how to resolve the upcoming crisis.
Seeing that Mary wasn't in the mood to think, Shi Tian decided to raise his tone and demanded an answer. "Just tell where the sources are from!"
"Ugh, they were obviously from the few survivors that managed to escape from the siege of the Gilaso." She shouted frustratingly.
"Have Gerald checked the identities of the survivors?" Shi Tian pressured further.
"Of course not, we needed to-"
Mary suddenly stopped when she ca to realize why Shi Tian was asking for such information when it was clear that she was annoyed.
Without hesitation, Mary quickly asked Gerald to investigate the survivors' identity, and thoroughly at that.
Once the ssage was sent, Mary turned to Shi Tian and asked, "Are you suspecting this is a sche from the Five Families?"
Shi Tian shook his head. "No, I'm not suspecting it to be the Five Families sche, but only one of them."
"The Harrett Family?"
Shi Tian nodded his head.
"The deploynt of their military reserve seed to be a desperate asure from our deduction, but it could actually be a plan by them. Not to ntion, this terrain around here is monitored by which military?"
Mary was slightly taken aback and nearly fumbled to the ground once she connected the pieces.
Although the wilderness was a lawless place, the Five Families still decided to have their own people to monitor specific acres. They needed surveillance on people that are always in the wilderness to check whether they had any intention of rebelling.
Thus, it was already a known fact that the Five Families might not be able to control and impose laws in the wilderness, but they could still know about their movent and actions.
And this particular terrain was managed by the Harrett Family, so only the Harrett Family could pull off sothing like this without anyone ever discovering this place.
"If your suspicions are correct, then that ans the Harrett Family was plotting this for a while already. To be able to find variants of Gilaso and allow such a situation to fester, just what are they planning to do?" Mary was astonished.
Their actions this ti were no longer just trying to compete against them. This goes against humanity as a whole and once caught, the Harrett Family would be ruined completely.
"Maybe they just wanted to decrease the population as a whole or deplete everyone else's arsenal. The terrain here might be monitored by the Harrett Family, but other than that. Everywhere else is from the other Families. The Harrett Family wouldn't lose much compared to the others." Shi Tian sneered coldly.
He really must give it to the Harret Family to co up with such a devious sche to decrease the competition once the New Region opened up
