Chapter 359: A Mistake
Far away in the central galaxy of Guixing, Titus stared at the three conspicuous words on the smart terminal - missed call.
A rare look of confusion appeared on his face. What was wrong with Li Yu? Why didn't he answer the call?
More than twenty days had passed since the battle for the Titan's Heart, and this was the third time he had contacted Li Yu.
Li Yu should have analyzed the pros and cons and handed over the Heart of the Titan was his best choice.
In Titus's opinion, the Heart of the Titan does not have much use for Li Yu. It is nothing more than the development of the gene chain, but it can be replaced by other items.
He had even drawn up a trading list, and the value of the items on it was enough to exchange for the Heart of the Titan, and it was even quite substantial.
However, ideals are full and reality is skinny. However, he encountered setbacks in the first step, and Li Yu did not answer his call at all.
This made the remarks he had prepared completely useless.
"Why?" Titus was puzzled. He didn't want to target Li Yu, and even wanted to recruit him under his command.
"Could it be that he was really seriously injured in the last battle? He doesn't even have the ability to act independently..."
Titus's staff had analyzed the situation carefully and believed that the combat power that Li Yu had unleashed on the desolate planet at that time was definitely not conventional combat power.
Some means must have been used, and many details indirectly confirm this. This kind of explosive method will definitely have sequelae.
More than twenty days have passed, and any serious sequelae should be alleviated.
Unable to contact Li Yu, Titus couldn't decide how to treat him next.
He still wanted to resolve the matter with gentle means, and it would be best if he could recruit Li Yu into his team.
"I hope you won't let me down." Titus tapped the metal handle of the seat.
His staff did some psychological reverse analysis and concluded that there was a 95% chance that Li Yu would agree to the deal.
However, since Li Yu had made many unexpected choices in the past, the possibility of a 5% crazy approval was retained.
That’s right, in the eyes of these people, rejecting the generous price offered by Titus is tantamount to crazy buying.
…
On the other side, Li Yu was also thinking secretly:
"Titus is not an impulsive person. He won't act rashly without getting a definite answer from me."
Titus is an extremely mature politician and basically does not behave rashly.
This is also the reason why Li Yu does not want to contact the other party now. The earlier he contacts Titus, the earlier he will face the decision of whether to go to war with Titus.
This large spaceship is called Dunbu. Judging from the mottled marks on it, it should be a tourist spaceship of a certain interstellar tourism company.
Now it has been modified in many aspects, including weapon system, energy system, shield system, navigation system...
The internal space is large, leaving enough space for the talents that Li Yu plunders.
The Tanbul Hub gradually shrank in the porthole, the fire above was clearly visible, and the scale of the battle seemed to be further expanding.
But all this had nothing to do with everyone. Peter hid in the corner like a frightened quail.
However, you can occasionally see his eyes rolling around, which shows that he is not as panicked as he appears to be.
Li Yu didn't care about the little quail. He took out the mental tempering device. Originally, using this thing was like hammering his mental body with dense small hammers, which could only increase the strength of his mental body.
But now, after he had accidentally completed the "unity of soul and flesh", when he used the mental training device, he felt his whole body being massaged by soft little hands.
A tingling sensation came from deep within his body, as if an electric current was passing through his body, stimulating his gene chains and making him feel extremely comfortable.
"Tsk tsk...Based on this feeling, it won't be a big deal to fight Titus." Li Yu thought to himself.
However, he didn't know how much effect the mental training device could have on the gene chain, and he would have to wait a few days to see the results.
"Boy, what are you looking at?" Anthony pulled little Peter up. He had already dealt with the logistical supplies and just came back here when he saw little Peter in the corner.
"No...I didn't see anything..." Peter was startled and said guiltily.
Anthony didn't care and asked, "What did you snatch from that blood...blood-what-something gang?"
"I didn't steal anything..." Peter shook his head subconsciously, but he didn't dare to look into the eyes of the green snake.
However, seeing the dense snake scales on Anthony's arms made him feel numb all over.
"Then why are you being chased like a dead dog?" Anthony said in a gentle tone, as if casually:
"Don't take action if you are not absolutely sure. If you act impulsively, you are no different from an idiot."
Peter was immediately unhappy: "I planned it well, otherwise..."
He was halfway through his words when he suddenly came to his senses, closed his mouth tightly, and turned into a quail again.
"Take it out and let me see it..." Anthony stretched out his hand. It was really boring on the spaceship, so it would be nice to find a small toy to play with.
Stanley retracted his gaze, speechless about Anthony's behavior. He turned on the smart terminal, called up the virtual screen, and walked in front of Li Yu:
"Sir, this is the basic information of the Gilbert Galaxy..."
Li Yu had already told him the next target of action, and Stanley quickly investigated the information and prepared to formulate a combat plan.
The Gilbert Galaxy is not a commercial galaxy, nor an administrative galaxy, nor is it located on any major shipping lane within the Amethyst.
The main star is only a third-level life planet and its habitability is not high, but those who engage in scientific research are suitable for such a secluded environment.
But the Gilbert Galaxy also has some special features. Planet No. 3 inside it has undergone special transformation and has become a life planet, and its size is more than five times that of an ordinary life planet.
However, those living there are not Amethyst citizens, but a large number of wild beasts and some star beasts.
It is obvious that it was the work of Gust Laboratory.
"...According to the information I purchased on the Black Hole Network, several large civilizations are also interested in the Gust Laboratory..."
"Because Gust mainly attacks genetic mutants, and the combat power of genetic mutants far exceeds that of life forms of the same level..."
Stanley is very capable. Not only did he find out the information, he even found out that the Gust Laboratory had been secretly in contact with a large civilization.
"...The Borg civilization is a large civilization located near the edge of the void. Although it has a highly developed interstellar civilization, it still retains some ancient indigenous characteristics..."
"…It's because of the traditional worship of beast spirits. They highly respect genes that can retain some of the characteristics of exotic beasts…"
"…The overall strength is very strong. It is precisely because of the Borg civilization that the Gust Laboratory has not been destroyed for the time being."
“…”
After learning the general information, Li Yu couldn't help but sigh that there were really all kinds of monsters and demons here.
The Borg civilization is very far away from Amethyst. If it does not use the star gate and only relies on jump navigation, it will take at least half a year to reach here.
The fact that such a distant civilization has begun to covet amethyst shows how tempting amethyst is right now.
Under normal circumstances, these large laboratories have almost always one person per job, and job-hopping is rare.
Only the current situation gives others the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
"The specific combat plan still needs to wait for more detailed information..." Stanley was very cautious. This kind of rescue operation was much more difficult than rescue and decapitation operations.
In a rescue operation at least the hostages will cooperate, but in a decapitation operation there is no need to worry so much because all you see are enemies.
This kind of talent poaching will not only lead to encountering enemies, but those researchers may not be willing to go with them, which will definitely cause a lot of trouble.
Li Yu nodded, of course he understood the key. At this moment, there was movement from Anthony's side.
Peter's cheeks turned red with anger, and he was thrown away by Anthony and fell to the ground with a thud.
Although he looked extremely angry, he didn't dare to say anything.
Anthony took a portable hard drive and plugged it into his smart terminal. A large amount of data flashed across the screen, causing him to frown slightly:
"Interesting. This hard drive has been encrypted with at least three different encoding methods. Boy, what on earth is this thing?"
Peter was furious, but when he noticed that everyone's eyes were focused on him, he couldn't help but shrink his neck and whispered:
"I don't know what this is either. I only know that the Blood Knife Gang helped a certain important person to transport this thing."
"How dare you steal it without knowing what it is?" Anthony obviously didn't believe it.
"All I knew was that it was worth a lot of money, and I just wanted to steal it, sell it, and then escape from Tanbul Hub," Peter explained.
Stanley came forward with a calm expression and said to Anthony, "I have an information security expert in my team. He should be able to crack it."
Anthony shrugged and didn't care. He just wanted to have some fun to relieve his boredom, so he threw the hard drive to Stanley.
Stanley handed the hard drive to a team member. He had a complete set of equipment and was operating it quickly. As more and more data appeared, his face became more and more ugly.
"Captain, this thing is not triple encrypted. The triple encryption on the surface is just an alarm measure. There are at least twenty-six layers of embedded encryption inside." Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"To open this hard drive, you have to unlock 26 layers of encryption at the same time. The amount of data is too large, and any wrong step will cause the hard drive to self-destruct."
Everyone was obviously a little surprised that the information security expert in their team was capable of handling most incidents.
"Oh my..." Anthony was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that this hard drive was so complicated.
Peter curled his legs together, trying to increase his sense of security.
"How could such a powerful hard drive be escorted by those losers from the Blood Knife Gang?" Anthony squatted in front of Peter, with a dangerous light flashing in his snake eyes.
"I... don't know either..." Peter shook his head hurriedly. He had been hanging out in the Temple Hub for a while and could clearly sense a murderous aura from Anthony.
This scary guy, I really want to do something to him...
"Or did someone deliberately send this hard drive to us?" Anthony was cunning, and at this moment, many conspiracy traces had emerged in his mind.
Li Yu, who was enjoying the mental training device, was also attracted by the situation here. He glanced at Peter on the ground and directly used his confusing sound ability to control him.
Through various inquiries, he determined that this boy was just an ordinary person and the previous encounter was just a pure coincidence.
"Then what's going on with this hard drive?" Since Peter was not a suspect, Anthony turned his attention to the hard drive again.
"Bring it here, let me take a look." Li Yu said.
The information security expert hurriedly handed over the hard drive. Li Yu had a special way to deal with this kind of encrypted technological equipment.
Golden symbols poured into the hard drive, and soon it was transformed into a Transformer , saluting its great creator in Li Yu's hand.
Peter, who was watching secretly, had his eyes wide open. To him, this was something beyond belief.
"Project the content." Li Yu ordered, and the enlightened Transformers directly skipped the verification measures and presented the content.
Although there are multiple encryptions, there is not much content in the hard drive, only one coordinate and no other information.
"What is this coordinate?" Li Yu asked Xiao Chaonao to locate the location through the coordinates.
The star map on the virtual screen gradually enlarged and locked onto a position.
"Is this... an unowned land?" Li Yu frowned, a little surprised.
This coordinate is actually somewhere in No Man's Land.
"Do you know what these coordinates represent?" Li Yu asked the hard drive. After being transformed into a Transformer, it still possessed its previous memories.
"Great Primordial Heavenly Venerable, I only know that I was secretly brought out from somewhere by spies from Optoelectronics Technology..."
"Five hard drives were also taken out at the same time, and the data was stored in six locations..."
Its answer surprised Li Yu even more. Since it involved optoelectronic technology, the matter seemed to be quite involved.
Glancing at the frightened Peter, Li Yu asked Xiao Chaonao to make a record.
Who knows what these coordinates are? Naturally, he doesn't have the time to investigate now. He will find out when he has the chance.
…
At the same time, the place where the Blood Knife Gang died was surrounded by fully armed soldiers.
In the encirclement, there was a middle-aged man squatting on the ground, staring at the headless corpses with a serious expression.
"One strike kills, very decisive!"
"It's the sixth piece, it stores the coordinates..." the subordinate reported in a low voice.
"Which idiot allowed this group of rabble to escort such an important thing?" His face was cold.
"It was the head of the security department. He said that this way it would be less likely to attract other people's attention." The subordinate replied.
"What an idiot!" He snorted coldly and continued, "Have you checked the nearby surveillance equipment?"
"We checked, but the other party has interference equipment, and all the monitoring equipment has been shut down wherever they pass." The subordinate had already done the preliminary investigation and said:
"We tracked down the downtime traces and found the Salvia Hotel, but most of the identities used by the scavengers living there were forged, so it was difficult to determine who they were."
"Because of the fighting at the time, many residents left the Serbia Hotel, and working backwards based on the time doesn't work."
The middle-aged man frowned, not expecting the other party's actions to be so secretive.
"There's still time, let's find another way to find the coordinates."
