Dr. Gimmers was an expert on Zergs, and he knew that the Zergs on the island must have a leader, or even a Cerebrate. Cerebrates were one of the most mysterious creatures in the world, humans only knew that they were secretly commanding the Zergs, but no one had ever captured them.
Nobody knew how the Cerebrates appeared, and if they were in a desperate situation, the Zergs would rather eat the Cerebrates than let humans get their hands on them. Could it be that the Cerebrates appeared out of thin air?
The three students might be a problem, but they were unlucky, and it was impossible to save them now. Hopefully, they could hold on until the military arrived.
"Dr. Gimmers, the Zergs have found the entrance to the ground, and they are trying to break through."
"Let's evacuate and seal off the base."
"Yes, sir!"
Dr. Gimmers wasn't in a hurry, he knew that it wouldn't be easy for the Zergs to break through, and if they could find the Cerebrates, they might even be able to destroy a few Paradise Islands.
Dr. Gimmers initiated the lockdown procedure. Although the island was in chaos, it wouldn't be easy for the Zergs to break through. A gigantic steel wall slowly rose from the sandy beach, and at the same time, a strong energy was released from between the steel pillars, enveloping the entire island.
Dr. Gimmers was the one who controlled the lockdown procedure, and no one else knew about it. Even without the Cerebrates, there were still highly intelligent Zergs on Paradise Island, and they couldn't afford to lose such a treasure!
However, the traitor's appearance had indeed caused the lockdown procedure to fail.
Ten minutes later, everyone appeared on the airship outside of Paradise Island. Paradise Island was not far away, but it had been completely sealed off, and no one would be able to escape. All that was left was to wait for the military to arrive.
Ma Xiaoru, Samantha, Martyrus, and Dr. Gimmers were in the command room. Ma Xiaoru lost her cool when she found out that Wang Tong was still on Paradise Island.
"Dr. Gimmers, didn't I tell you that the safety of our people is our top priority? Send someone to rescue them right now!"
Ma Xiaoru's expression was serious, and she didn't look like the Ma Xiaoru that everyone knew.
Samantha and Martyrus didn't say anything, they were outsiders. Ma Xiaoru was usually a student, but now she was the major shareholder of FFC.
"Miss, I'm just following your orders. However, the three of them have already entered the depths of Paradise Island. The rescue team that I sent out couldn't even get in. Even if I send out all the guards on Paradise Island, it would be useless. It would only increase the number of casualties. Now, we can only pray that they are lucky. Our men will be here soon!"
In fact, he had already guessed most of it. It was really unfortunate that one of the three students seemed to be more concerned about the young mistress.
"No, I have to go!"
"Ma Xiaoru, calm down. You haven't mastered your Tactics of the Enchantress yet, so you won't be able to deal with so many Zergs. You have to trust Wang Tong and the others, and this isn't an accident, so you have to stay calm!" Samantha stopped Ma Xiaoru and said seriously.
"Miss, please calm down. This isn't as simple as it looks, and we might be targeted by some other forces." Dr. Gimmers was in charge of Paradise Island, and apparently, he was also one of the core members of FFC.
The current FFC was not the same as it used to be. Time could change a lot of things. The House of Ma had become one of the Five Great Families, and they had been quietly influencing the development of mankind, especially the development of Earth. However, as time went by, many things went out of control. The FFC controlled seventy percent of the production of METAL Suits in Earth Confederation, and forty percent of the production of Space Crystals in Earth Confederation. All of these were envied by the rising forces. However, the alliance between the House of Ma and the House of Li was very strong, and those who had plotted against them had already been reduced to ashes.
However, there would always be those who didn't believe in the dark.
This wasn't news to the FFC, but this time, it was a big move.
"Dr. Gimmers, there's an army approaching us at high speed!"
Dr. Gimmers was startled, and then he flicked his finger, and the screen changed. An army was marching towards Paradise Island at high speed, and it seemed like they would arrive before the private forces.
The logo was the Confederation Army.
"Soldiers in front, this is the private territory of the FFC, please stop!"
Dr. Gimmers immediately issued a warning. The "timely" appearance of the Confederation Army was not good for them. Ma Xiaoru and Samantha looked at each other. The arrival of the Confederation Army was like adding fuel to the fire. They didn't know what was going on with Wang Tong and the other two, and now they were in trouble.
Ma Xiaoru took a deep breath and slowly calmed down. She knew that there was no use in panicking, and as a member of the FFC, she knew what she had to do.
"I'm Colonel Zhao Yongzhuo from the Eighth Division of the Confederation Army. According to the intelligence, the Zergs on Paradise Island have started a riot, and it has seriously threatened the safety of Earth. According to Article Ten, Section thirty-six of the Confederation Constitution, the military will take over Paradise Island until the threat is eliminated!"
A soldier in his thirties appeared on the screen, and he was obviously from the Golden Eagle Alliance when he saw the golden eagle logo on his chest.
The so-called Golden Eagle Alliance wasn't a political alliance, but a spiritual symbol formed by a group of soldiers. The Golden Eagle represented courage, initiative, and the establishment of an alliance that truly belonged to mankind.
Countless young soldiers responded to the Golden Eagle Spirit as soon as it appeared. Most of them didn't have any background, and they relied on their own power or hard work to get to where they were today. The influence of the Golden Eagle Spirit was huge, and it gradually spread from the military to the political world.
The so-called 'old forces' were undoubtedly the Five Great Families. It was true that the Five Great Families had once played an important role in mankind's development. However, hundreds of years had passed and their existence had, to some extent, interfered with freedom and democracy. This was especially true in recent years when there had been news of them manipulating elections and even involving pirates.
Corruption would always slowly seep in, but this kind of confrontation was mostly carried out in the underground, and was not brought to the surface. After all, the influence of the Five Great Clans was indeed great enough.
A mere colonel wouldn't dare to cause trouble here without an order.
"Colonel Zhao, I'm Dr. Gimmers, the person in charge of Paradise Island. The FFC is capable enough to ensure the safety of Paradise Island. I believe you can see that the fleet has arrived, and Paradise Island is completely under control." Gimmers didn't care about a mere colonel.
"Dr. Gimmers, my duty is to protect the safety of Earth and all its citizens. Obviously, you have lost control of Paradise Island, and we can't afford to take responsibility for any Zergs that escape from the island!"
Zhao Yongzhuo was very tough. As he spoke, the military was approaching Paradise Island, and 30 warships had arrived. It was too much of a coincidence.
Some of the information on Paradise Island was top secret, and there was no way he would let someone else get their hands on it. Furthermore, there might be Cerebrate on the island, and it was a crucial part of the experiment.
"Colonel Zhao, the FFC is capable enough to ensure the safety of Paradise Island, and we will never let a single Zerg escape from the island. According to the Federal Constitution, personal property is sacred, and if the situation gets out of control, I will ask for the military's help. However, everything is under control now, so please don't do anything reckless, Colonel Zhao!"
Gimmers showed his tough attitude by slashing and hitting.
What a joke, the FFC would never allow itself to be manipulated by someone else.
"Dr. Gimmers, this is not something that you and I can bear. Every experiment on Zergs must be sterilized, and the number of Zergs cannot exceed 300. Obviously, the number of Zergs on Paradise Island has exceeded the limit, and the military has to intervene. If you have any complaints, you can file a complaint to the Federal Court, but the military has to take over the operation!"
Zhao Yongzhuo came prepared as well. He had made up his mind that the FFC would not resort to violence, and the pressure from the FFC would be shouldered by the higher-ups. He was here on orders.
Gimmers did not expect the other party to be so bold. The FFC's security team had arrived, and the Zergs were still wreaking havoc on Paradise Island, but the humans were the first to face them.
Gimmers would never give in, even if it meant fighting the military. The FFC would never allow a mere colonel to bully them.
Ma Xiaoru signaled Gimmers to step aside, "Colonel Zhao Yongzhuo, I'm Ma Xiaoru. The FFC has agreed to cooperate with the Federal Army. There are still three students on Paradise Island, and our priority now is to control the situation and rescue them. As for the rescue plan, I think Dr. Gimmers knows the situation best, so let him handle it!"
Ma Xiaoru's tone left no room for negotiation. Zhao Yongzhuo did not expect the lady of the FFC to be here as well. He hesitated for a while. The order from the higher-ups was to surround Paradise Island and control it, but there was no specific order to get anything from it. He did not want to offend someone like her.
"Since it's Ms. Ma's decision, I have no objections. Let's do it this way. Saving people is like putting out a fire. Please open the entrance and let the soldiers enter Paradise Island."
Zhao Yongzhuo nodded.
"Miss … I don't think that's a good idea." Gimmers still did not agree to let the Federal Army intervene.
"I'll take responsibility for any consequences. Hurry up and rescue them!" Ma Xiaoru suppressed her anxiety and unleashed her Tactics of the Enchantress. Ma Xiaoru was no longer the girl in school who was easy to talk to. She had the temperament of a leader.
Gimmers hesitated for a while, but he still agreed. After all, there was no point in disobeying Ma Xiaoru's order.
"Attention all FFC soldiers. You are to enter through the C-2 entrance. Our mission is to exterminate the Zergs and rescue the three students!"
On the other hand, Gimmers ordered all five squads to enter Paradise Island at the same time. Their mission was to capture the Encephalon in the designated area. Whether it was the Encephalon or not, there must be a leader in this Zerg rampage, and there was only one place where the leader could be. As the commander-in-chief of Paradise Island, Gimmers was 100% sure that the leader would only appear in that place.
However, he could not tell the Federal Army about this.
