Chapter 770: The lurking failed?
In order to avoid the relentless attack from the Star Empire, the Forerunners tried every possible means.
They have been forced to build stargate passages in extremely remote places.
Most civilizations in the interstellar space will basically set up outposts within their territory to detect space fluctuations to avoid the occurrence of smuggling.
In order to hide the traces of their activities as much as possible, the forerunners have set up the main star gate channel in an extremely desolate star field.
Li Yu followed them to at least four or five locations, but still did not arrive at the place where the materials were supposed to be.
He was extremely speechless inside, but he still had to pretend to be calm on the surface.
Each of their transfer links is extremely strict. Before receiving the goods, they have no idea where the destination is or where the goods will come from.
This extremely cautious docking method has allowed them to continue to be active under the attack of the Star Empire.
Li Yu didn't know much about the internal affairs of the Forerunners, but he also knew that the location of the Forerunner headquarters was a secret within the Forerunners.
He was not sure whether people at the pioneer's level could enter.
But the pioneers' recent large-scale collection of various materials also aroused his interest.
If materials have to be collected on a large scale under such circumstances, it must be because they will be used within a short period of time.
These materials will definitely be transported to the places where they will be used. As long as Li Yu follows, he will most likely be able to find out what they are planning to do.
However, in a certain stronghold, Li Yu met an unexpected person.
"You actually escaped..."
In the room, a life form with wings on its back faced Li Yu.
His pupils emitted a light golden glow, his wings were folded behind him, and his appearance looked androgynous, making it impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman.
The other party was the second vanguard, which Li Yu figured out from the information he got from the Star Empire.
"Why are you here?" Li Yu asked without any emotion.
The Third Pioneer has been detained by the Star Empire, so it is normal that he is not clear about the internal transfers of the organization.
"I am in charge of the resource collection operation. I heard that you were out of trouble, so I came to see you." The second pioneer said lightly.
In fact, he was somewhat skeptical when he heard the news.
Because the leader has clearly stated that the third vanguard was a bait deliberately released by Long Zun.
Since it was a deliberate bait, how could it escape from the Star Empire so easily?
Therefore, he suspected that there was something fishy going on and decided to test it out here.
But when he saw the other person, he had another thought - this guy actually escaped.
But all the doubts in his mind were gone, leaving only confusion, wondering how the Third Pioneer escaped from the Star Empire.
"Li Yu was too arrogant and thought he was in control of everything. I found an opportunity and escaped from his control." He explained in general terms:
"You also know my abilities. It's hard for him to leave any tracking marks on me."
However, after hearing this explanation, the second vanguard frowned and said, "Li Yu shouldn't be a careless person. He won't leave any tricks behind, right?"
Li Yu was stunned and speechless. I belittled myself, but you are confident in me.
"Maybe he is too confident now. People always change." He said casually.
The second advance officer shook his head and said, "We can't take him lightly. I remember you were very cautious before."
Li Yu: “…”
Fortunately, thanks to the magical skill of camouflage, this level of inconsistency will not arouse the suspicion of the second pioneer.
A golden light enveloped Li Yu, as if he was checking. After a moment, the second pioneer's expression still did not ease: "There is indeed no tracking mark or anything like that."
"But, how can I let you find an opening so easily?"
Li Yu was speechless and said, "Long Zun is indeed very powerful, but there is no need to think of him as too powerful."
"He has too many things to focus on right now. In his eyes, I am probably just a small character, a chess piece that he plays casually, and he doesn't pay much attention to me at all."
"Really?" The second vanguard murmured to himself. It was obvious that this statement did not convince him.
nmd, you have so much confidence in me, you must be my fanboy.
You don’t believe this?
Fortunately, the second forerunner was not a person who would dwell on trivial matters. He quickly said, "Maybe that's the case. You are really lucky."
My luck... Li Yu muttered to himself, pretending to be unhappy and said: "You are already afraid of him in your heart. He is our enemy. You shouldn't have such thoughts."
"You don't understand..." The second pioneer shook his head and sighed: "I had a brief ..."
"Huh?" Li Yu was a little confused. Why didn't he remember having any contact with this birdman?
"The organization sent me to ambush Lehman, but he got there first. I became the scapegoat and helped him draw fire in the first place..."
Is there such a thing?
Li Yu suddenly remembered that he seemed to have vaguely heard that the Xingyao Empire had indeed pursued suspects within the country.
At that time, he was wondering which unlucky guy became his scapegoat, and it turned out to be this birdman.
That pioneer was really unlucky.
Li Yu remained silent and listened to the birdman's story. He had been pursued by the Star Empire for a long time.
Although Li Yu later exposed himself, he was cleared of suspicion.
But as a high-level leader of the Pioneer, the Star Empire will naturally not let go of this opportunity easily and wants to catch him.
However, later on, the incident involving Lehman caused a lot of uproar, causing the Star Empire to become a little overwhelmed, which gave the Forerunners an opportunity to rescue the birdman.
It was also because of that incident, when he didn't even get to see Li Yu, and was blamed for no reason and suffered a lot, that the second pioneer developed some trauma in his heart.
In his and the pioneers' opinion, what happened at that time must have been planned by Li Yu.
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that they chose to ambush at the same time period?
"What a coincidence?" Li Yu secretly complained:
"At that time, Lehman was in charge of dealing with the A-level alliance and usually stayed in a secret base. It just so happened that the Star Empire was executing your forerunners, so it was a rare opportunity."
The two talked about this matter for a while. Li Yu comforted the other party and told him not to take it too seriously. There would definitely be a chance to retaliate in the future and kill that Dragon Lord!
The second pioneer didn't hold out much hope for this, but he didn't continue to talk about the sad past. Instead, he asked, "Now that you're back, what are you going to do next?"
“I don’t know…” Li Yu said, “I can’t contact the leader recently, so I can only help escort this batch of resources first.”
"Can you contact the leader?"
The second pioneer shook his head first, and before Li Yu could feel disappointed, he said, "I only know that the leader went to the desolate universe zone, where there is no way to contact the outside world."
"Heading to the desolate universe?" Li Yu was a little surprised, and then another idea came to his mind -
It must be related to that alien life form.
His eyes flickered, and the second vanguard said, "Another batch of goods will arrive soon, but they seem to be in some trouble. I will go and deal with it."
"Just follow ."
Since the leader is not here, the second vanguard is naturally not qualified to appoint him.
Li Yu nodded and watched the other party leave.
The Forerunner was indeed busy with something important, and the alien life form knew the secret that he was a Titan.
The Forerunners have an old grudge against each other, and it is really not a good thing if these two guys collude with each other.
If we don't figure out what they are planning, how can we be safe in the dormitory...
Li Yu didn't know why, but he suddenly felt a sense of urgency.
The fleet transporting the source crystal ore set sail again, passed through four sub-bases for transfer, and passed through a star gate hidden in a remote star field.
A giant metal building with a wide coverage area appeared in front of Li Yu.
A large number of transport ships come and go in this star field, and there are even more giant metal structure "Hercules" ships that are specially built.
Although there was no sound, one could still feel the busy atmosphere.
In the center, a square metal structure is built using a large amount of high-precision alloy.
Inside the metal structure is something being built, but it is currently unclear what it is.
Because this thing only has a metal base.
The nearby metal forging factory was spewing colorful smoke into the starry sky, and it was obvious that it was forging metal in full swing.
The source crystal ore was quickly connected and transported to a special factory.
This shouldn't be the Forerunner's headquarters.
After looking around, he came to this conclusion.
This was obviously a hastily built integrated construction factory, and it was open-air.
Its main purpose should be to create that special thing.
Li Yu didn't know what it was exactly.
"The third pioneer?" A stream of light flew from a distance and stopped in front of him.
He has the appearance of an interstellar human, with long golden hair, and is not tall, only about 1.6 meters, with crystal blue pupils.
This guy looked Li Yu up and down, and there was no respect in his eyes , but rather provocation.
"It's you. You actually have the nerve to come back." He seemed to be furious.
"If I were you, I would never be able to face the shame of being captured."
No... who are you?
Li Yu had a strange look on his face. Among the relevant information he got, there was no information about this person, which made it difficult for him to speak easily.
But this silent attitude, more like ignoring, seemed to have angered the other party.
"I challenge you as the Seventh Pioneer and deprive you of your status as the Third Pioneer!" he shouted coldly.
The Seventh Herald?
Aren’t there only six pioneers?
Where does the seventh come from?
Li Yu was even more confused and still didn't say anything.
And deprive me of my identity?
Is there such a competitive ranking mechanism within an organization like Pioneer?
"Seventh, step back!" A cold rebuke suddenly came.
Another stream of light descended, and Li Yu's face changed slightly. He actually knew this guy.
The First Pioneer, the Forerunner's top fighter, holds a very high prestige.
It is said that it is only one step away from becoming a super life form.
He looks like an ordinary interstellar human, wearing a striped suit and looking polite.
The Seventh Herald Officer looked unwilling and said, "Why can he be the Third Herald Officer? I can only be the Seventh."
"He's a captive who escaped!"
The first advance officer glanced at him and said, "Third, I won't argue with you. Don't embarrass yourself here."
Then, he said to Li Yu: "Seventh Pioneer, during the time you were captured, new members joined the organization."
"Join?" Li Yu caught these two words.
It is impossible for the Pioneer to recruit senior executives of this level from outside, there is a problem.
"Yes, he didn't grow up in the organization..." The First Pioneer paused and said, "Strictly speaking, he is my son."
"Your son?"
Li Yu felt that the pioneer he had come into contact with seemed to be different from what he had imagined.
"Why haven't I heard of it before?" Li Yu asked tentatively.
"Just born..." said the first advance officer.
"Just born not long ago..." Li Yu looked at the unwilling little brat and asked, "How old is he?"
"Eight years old..."
This is eight years old! ?
At the age of eight, he is already an A5-level life form?
Are your genes so strong?
Even Titans aren't that powerful.
Li Yu blinked, something was definitely wrong, there must be something fishy about this so-called "son".
However, the First Forerunner was obviously unwilling to talk more about this topic, and said instead: "We are really surprised that you can escape from Li Yu. It must have been very dangerous."
"Do you suspect me?" Li Yu looked a little unhappy.
The other party did not doubt that he was not the third pioneer, but had doubts about the third pioneer.
This is beyond the scope of Black Widow's capabilities.
The people he met before were not strong enough. The Second Pioneer might have doubted it, but he did not have enough authority to handle the matter.
But the First Pioneer has the ability and strength to handle this matter.
This was the last thing Li Yu wanted to encounter, but it was unavoidable.
"Shouldn't it be?" He asked back, his eyes dim: "This is not the first time we have dealt with Li Yu. We have experienced it many times before, and we have never gained an advantage."
"Now you tell me that you have accomplished something that the entire organization has failed to do. You have made his plan fail and successfully escaped. It is really hard for me not to doubt you."
Li Yu had a complicated expression when he heard this.
So, because I'm so awesome, there's a high chance that my lurking will fail?
