"Two lemonades, please."
On the cruise ship, Bai Fu sat down with Julia at the entrance of a beverage shop in the leisure square. She paid attention to Fei Ye's movents while browsing the information about the riot on Beisai Star.
After several days of investigation, the Star Network published the results regarding the Beisai Star riot.
In truth, before the results were published, many people online were already saying, "This must be Secret Tower's fault." It's no wonder everyone likes to bla Secret Tower because they had been causing trouble recently, killing a large number of innocent civilians.
After the investigation results were released, it turned out that Secret Tower really was behind it!
The military doctors of Star Network examined one hundred civilians who had participated in the riots and found that the examination results were strikingly similar. Their eyes appeared lifeless as if they had stayed up for several nights, but once they saw a normal person, they beca as excited as a bull seeing red. At that mont, they beca aggressive, bloodthirsty, and their bodies beca scorching hot. Within a short ti, their bodies would consu a lot of energy; if not treated in ti, they would collapse and die suddenly due to organ failure after a few such episodes.
Due to these characteristics, the population of Beisai Star had decreased by nearly one-third just a few days after the riots.
Under normal circumstances, even if the Star Network found these civilians problematic, it would have been hard to link their mutations with Secret Tower so promptly. But Bai Fu was involved, wasn't she?
The very day she blocked the ship's cannon, she had inford Star Network about the parasite, and Star Network's experts urgently checked all the Ulyssians. Although they were still unclear on how to deal with the parasites, they successfully gathered so data. Comparing the dical results of the rioting civilians on Beisai Star with this data gave them a 99.9% certainty that the riots were caused by the parasites deployed by Secret Tower.
Star Network imdiately shared their findings with their allies, who convened a eting and decided that it was better to reveal the news now rather than wait for Secret Tower to announce it and catch them off guard.
[We are confident that we can quickly control the situation on Beisai Star and develop a dicine to kill these parasites as soon as possible.]
Although that was being said, the entire Initial Gate Star System was still thrown into panic.
You say you can quickly develop a pesticide, but what about the people who get attacked before it's developed?
Facing this panic, Star Network and other powers were helpless for a while and could only continue to intensify their efforts to track Secret Tower's movents and be vigilant everywhere.
This asure only had moderate success because Secret Tower had already deployed a considerable number of parasites beforehand.
During the days that Bai Fu was traveling to et with Fei Ye and others, riots similar to those on Beisai Star erupted in various places, causing extrely adverse impacts.
The storm had arrived, and how much damage this storm would eventually cause was still unknown at this ti.
From Bai Fu's perspective, this disaster should be easier to handle than initially anticipated.
Had it not been for her involvent, the parasite disaster would likely have erupted around the 2.1 or 2.2 version, but now it had moved up to the end of version 1.4, advancing the tiline by three years.
Do not underestimate these three years.
With three more years, the parasites developed by Secret Tower would have been more difficult to handle, and Secret Tower would have dispersed even more parasites earlier.
Although the scale of the parasite disaster had been reduced, Star Network and other forces' combat capabilities had also been affected to so degree because the disaster had occurred earlier.
Normally, when the ga updated to versions 2.1 or 2.2, the forces like Star Network would have had millions of level 50 players, who would be excellent in dealing with Secret Tower. Now, they didn't have as many useful tools.
[We still do not know what Secret Tower really wants, but no matter what their demands are, we will absolutely not compromise in dealing with such an interstellar terrorist organization!]
[We have reason to believe that Secret Tower is now a puppet organization for the Dark Domain Insect Clan, and we have already requested Titan Industry to send an investigation team.]
Bai Fu switched channels out of boredom, the news anchors were either scolding Secret Tower or trying to soothe the panicked populace.
While flipping through, she suddenly received an urgent communication from Vic.
"Sothing terrible has happened!"
After Vic's explanation, Bai Fu understood the situation.
It turned out that while instigating the parasite riots, Secret Tower had also targeted her and the Dark Moon Tide Company.
Recently, Secret Tower had posted a bounty on her, Julia, Cecilia, An Ya, Xia Shi, and Vic, worth a total of 40 million credit points on a platform rumored to be active with interstellar fugitives.
Secret Tower had specifically avoided Fei Ye, seemingly not wanting to cause a conflict with Star Contract, as they were still too weak compared to them.
After posting the bounty, Secret Tower also sent several small squads and controlled several Interstellar Pirate Groups to launch attacks on players who were out on tasks, resulting in thousands of players dying in these attacks.
Bai Fu knew right away what Secret Tower was up to.
"They're clearly trying to cut off my inco!"
This matter didn't affect her much for now. If the commission failed, just a little compensation according to the contract and that would be the end of it.
