Kill them all!
Burn them all!
Snatch them all!
Burn them all!
* Kaboom! *
Xia Fei's fist landed on the dark gold warship, directly breaking through its structural layer and revealing a large hole!
The universe was close to a vacuum, and large amounts of air were leaking out. The inside of the warship was already a mess.
In for a penny, in for a pound, in for a pound, Xia Fei swaggered into the warship, using his speed to charge around, tearing down walls and destroying machinery!
To Xia Fei's surprise, the dark gold warship was actually being controlled by a human. The body of a man in his thirties was floating in the air. Xia Fei grabbed it and gave it a few glances, confirming that it was indeed a human. He had a tattoo on his neck and was wearing a navy blue military uniform.
All of a sudden!
Those green tattoos on the corpse swelled up, separating from that warrior as if they were alive!
This was definitely a shocking sight. All Xia Fei saw was a green, octopus-like mollusk gradually appearing, its two pitch-black eyes staring at Xia Fei!
* Bang! *
Xia Fei knitted his brows! He had killed this mollusk with a single punch! Green, viscous juices splattered all over the walls!
"What is this? It's too disgusting! "Phantom frowned, looking like he was about to vomit.
* Bang! Bang! Bang! *
Upon discovering that it had been invaded, this warship intensified its attack on the human warship. Xia Fei coldly harrumphed. "Who cares what it is? Let's kill it first!"
…
Beautiful fireworks bloomed in the night sky. Xia Fei destroyed the warship's energy system, triggering a violent explosion. He then broke through the thick armor and stood in space to observe.
The explosion set off a chain reaction, turning the warship into a giant fireball in a matter of seconds. Shattered metal flew everywhere.
"We're saved!"
"Hooray!"
Through the porthole, Xia Fei could clearly see the crew of the Caracal cruiser cheering and hugging each other in celebration of their survival.
Xia Fei slowly approached and entered the warship through the boarding pod.
* Pa! *
Opening his helmet, Xia Fei scanned his surroundings and saw many exhausted faces. After seeing those soft-bodied monsters that had attached themselves to the bodies of humans, Xia Fei was a little more vigilant toward these people.
"Xia Fei! You're Xia Fei! "a brawny man with a bandaged arm said excitedly.
"You recognize me?" Xia Fei pointed at himself.
"You don't remember me? I'm Tiger. You were the one who led us out of the cage in the Bloody Arena. Later, I followed Brother Butcher to this strange universe. It's been more than three years! "
"Taiga, so you're Taiga. I'm sorry, it's been so many years since we last met, my memory is blurred." It was true that he did not remember Tiger, but since this man knew about the Blood Arena and Butcher, he was probably not lying.
The crew members were all very excited, as if they had seen their savior. After all, Xia Fei's name was still very famous in the Alliance. He was the mighty master of the Terminus Star Region, and he had charged into the insectoid territory alone. This matter was something that was still being discussed enthusiastically even to this day.
"So you're a member of Quantum Holdings' exploration team then? What about Butcher?"
Tiger's face darkened. The others also shook their heads and sighed, as if something unexpected had happened.
On this Caracal cruiser, Xia Fei was treated with exceptional courtesy. After the commotion, he was invited to the captain's quarters by Tiger, along with two other people: a female warrior called Enya and a shorty called Li Rongguang.
It was said that these two had crossed paths with Xia Fei in the Bloody Arena, but Xia Fei could not remember what they looked like no matter how hard he tried, so he could only pretend to be very familiar with them. The three of them were the three chiefs of this warship, Butcher's subordinates.
"What's going on?" Xia Fei took a sip of tea and asked.
Tiger sighed. "More than three years ago, Big Brother Butcher led us brothers into the sea of stars in search of the legendary Garden of Eden. At that time, there were thousands of brothers and sisters. Now, less than two hundred survived."
"Apart from us, there are many other exploration teams of various sizes that have come to search for the Garden of Eden. The journey is arduous, and there are casualties in every team. Big Brother Butcher, with his unique charm and means, has merged many teams along the way. It is no exaggeration to say that we are now the largest force. This ship and most of the crew members on it joined later. The three of us were appointed as commanders by Big Brother Butcher."
Xia Fei nodded. Butcher had a drive and a decent cultivation. For him to be able to lead a group of executioners from the Blood Matrix on this journey was proof of his charisma and leadership skills. It was not impossible for him to take over other teams along the way.
"Since your team is already so large and has so many people, why are you still being pursued by those monsters? And where is the main force of the exploration team?" Xia Fei lit a cigarette and sternly asked.
Taiga hammered his thigh with his remaining arm. "We came to this part of space a few months ago, but for some reason, we were stopped by these dark gold warships when we were about to move forward. Our team was scattered, as if someone didn't want the expedition to move forward."
"According to our intelligence, the immigrants from Eden entered the Alliance through this route three years ago. Brother Butcher was very confused. Why were they able to pass through while we were inexplicably ambushed? There's definitely something strange about this. Our radar system began to go haywire, and our signal couldn't reach the Alliance. Thus, Brother Butcher decided to have the fleet rest on a nearby habitable planet and discuss before deciding on a way out.
"Ever since we docked on that planet, the nightmare began. Our numbers dwindled day by day, and our comrades who were together yesterday woke up the next day to an empty bunk. Panic began to spread, and people began to say that they had been cursed by a demon. The entire exploration team was in a state of panic. "
Speaking of that painful experience, Tiger and the other two covered their faces with their hands in agony.
"You also know that Brother Butcher is a man made of steel and refused to believe in evil. He decided to force his way through this star region, determined to see just what secrets lay on the other side. Even though many people were unwilling, they still carried out Brother Butcher's decision.
"Our one hundred and seventy-four warships of various sizes took up a defensive formation and charged forward. The first three days were strangely peaceful, with no obstruction at all, but on the morning of the fourth day, we suddenly discovered that we were surrounded! Dark gold warships that outnumbered us by several times aimed their cannons at us and began to bombard us.
"Thus, we could only split up and escape. My Caracal could be considered lucky. Many more of our comrades died in space or were captured by the enemy."
Xia Fei rubbed his temples. Tiger had only described the process, but he did not mention the monsters that had hidden themselves in human bodies. Thus, Xia Fei played a video and displayed the battle on the screen. All war armors had a recording function, and Edgeless was no exception.
"Have any of you seen these monsters that have attached themselves to humans?" Xia Fei pointed at the screen and asked.
The female warrior En Ya's eyes widened. "I've never seen a monster, but I recognize the human that the monster attached itself to. He was originally a member of the exploration team. He was rather fair and clean, and I slept with him a few times. He was one of the missing people on that habitable planet. How did he end up on the enemy's side?"
Xia Fei glanced at En Ya. Who she slept with was En Ya's business. Xia Fei was only observing her, using the minute changes in her expression to determine the reliability of her words.
"These mollusks are likely some sort of intelligent lifeform. They're very weak, so they can only attach themselves to other lifeforms and borrow their strength. I believe that a large portion of the other members of the expedition team have also become attached to these monsters," Xia Fei analyzed in a deep voice.
Glancing at the galaxy outside the window, Xia Fei's mind rapidly turned.
"That's not the scariest part. If the immigrants from Eden who went to the Alliance have already become attached to these monsters, and these monsters have taken this opportunity to infiltrate the Alliance, then reproduce, and control more and more humans until they control the entire Alliance, then the Alliance will be in trouble.
"As for you exploration teams, you're like fish that have been lured by bait. The monsters have been waiting here for a long time, ready to invade your body and brain and turn you into their kind."
After a pause, Xia Fei said in a deep voice, "No wonder Butcher didn't send back a distress signal but a warning signal. He must be warning the Alliance to pay attention to those immigrants from Eden. He knows that Charlie is the helmsman of Quantum Holdings and has deep connections, so he directly sent the warning signal to Charlie."
Xia Fei's analysis made the three subordinates of Butcher break out in cold sweat. If what Xia Fei said was true, who knew how many of these strange creatures had already reproduced in the Alliance, and how many humans had already been controlled?
"No way! That's too much!" the short Li Rongguang exclaimed in shock.
"I also hope that it's not what I think it is, but I always plan for the worst," Xia Fei said very calmly. "After all, the universe is very complicated and dangerous."
An almost imperceptible glint flashed through Xia Fei's eyes as he came up with an idea.
"Do your best to get to the Alliance. Remember, you've never seen me before, so don't mention me to anyone in the Alliance. Let me handle everything," Xia Fei sternly said.
The three nodded repeatedly, agreeing to Xia Fei's request.
After leaving the Caldari Corporation Caracal, Xia Fei watched as it warped away. He then found the corpse of a monster in the wreckage, stored it in a storage box, and brought it back to the Hidden Realm.
Upon receiving the signal, Dimsky, Warstar, and Sentinel Goddess Sophie gathered in the conference room.
"You're back so quickly?" Dimsky asked.
Xia Fei recounted what had happened, and the three mech survivors were all stunned. A massive conspiracy had been unfolding for three years, but no one had noticed it! It was hard to imagine how far it had developed and how much damage it had done to the Alliance!
Raising two fingers, Xia Fei sternly said, "Two things. First, Dimsky, you need to immediately research the weakness of these intelligent lifeforms, as well as how to find, discover, and kill them. Once you've come up with a conclusion, bring my handwritten letter to Tai."
Dimsky firmly nodded. "Relax. I'll gather all the medical and research teams and begin the research. As for delivering the letter, we have the nano robots, so it won't attract anyone's attention."
Xia Fei said, "Remember to first scan Tai and make sure that he hasn't been infected. Also, Charlie and the others. I need to know immediately if my subordinates are safe.
"Second, Warstar, you need to immediately dispatch troops to the site of the incident. These mollusks won't expect that there's a robot army in the Hidden Realm waiting for them! They can attach themselves to intelligent lifeforms, but they can't do anything to you. "
