Chapter 20 - Exploded

Red eyes!

Wen Meng knew what this meant.

She had seen Xiao Hei and Thunder Bird in heat; their eyes were red at the time

But at that time, they were in their beast forms.

And now, Little Bai he..

Wen Meng struggled twice, trying to get up, but the man was extremely strong and tightly gripped her wrist, not letting go.

In a state of arousal, his entire demeanor changed

The profound madness deep within was fully exposed at this moment.

It seemed as if all his usual obedience was just an act.

The wolf can never become a dog.

Sensing the resistance from the person in his arms,

Bai Yan wrapped his arm around Wen Meng's waist,

Changed to a different position,

Beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks, dripping onto Wen Meng's fair neck.

Wen Meng's mind went completely blank.

The soul residing within Bai Yan's body made Wen Meng feel both fearful and unfamiliar.

She could feel that this man was listening to her frantic heartbeat.

Wen Meng placed her hand on Bai Yan's forehead.

I hope he can calm down.

But Bai Yan's eyes were intoxicated, and he took the opportunity to grab her small hand, kissing it in his palm.

This action made Wen Meng tremble with fear

"Why is it useless?!"

"Didn't they say this would help calm the disaster beasts during their mating season?"

Her call, Little Orange heard it, and then responded considerately

[Because he is now in human form]

"What do you mean?" Wen Meng had a sense of foreboding.

[It means to use human methods to solve it.]

Wen Meng: "..."

-Emperor Star-

Mu Li returned to the Imperial Star Research Institute with the surviving disaster beast ability researchers.

Their sudden return took everyone at the research institute by surprise.

The experiment had just reached the middle stage, so why did they come back early?

The strangest thing was that, although only top talents went there, the number of those who returned didn't match the original count.

It was obvious that something terrible and unknown had happened on the Green Lizard Star.

But since Muli didn't speak, the others didn't dare to ask.

Rumors spread like wildfire.

Some say the disaster beasts mutated again, turning the Green Lizard Star into a living hell.

There were also claims that the researchers' improper cultivation led to the complete death of the disaster beasts.

There were even more outrageous claims that the returning researchers were actually transformed disaster beasts, and that the real researchers had long since perished.

Because it was too outrageous, no one bothered to spread it.

There had never been any mention of disaster beasts being able to transform into other forms.

That's right, the researcher who originally spread this rumor was indeed a fan of supernatural fiction.

In comparison, there were still more people who believed in the rumors of the beast mutation.

Actually, the reality is quite similar.

The bear king suddenly broke free from its shackles and went berserk, destroying the laboratory.

The entire plan cost hundreds of billions of star coins, including the capture of disaster beast cubs on the disaster beast planet, which utilized an unknown amount of military manpower.

Now that it has ended in a dismal failure, as the project leader, Mu Li cannot shirk his responsibility.

"Are you satisfied?" Huo Xiao looked up, staring coldly at Mu Li.

When was the last time we met?

Oh, it was he who requested a team of special ability soldiers to go to the northern disaster beast star cluster to capture the Bear King.

Capture, the prime of life, the Bear King.

Madman.

The extraordinary abilities of a disaster beast in its prime are countless times greater than those in its adult stage.

The difficulty of capturing it is unprecedented.

How could anyone but a madman have such a thought?!

The Disaster Beast Research Project involved the participation of all the noble families of the Imperial Star

However, they only knew that Mu Li was conducting research that could benefit all of humanity; they were unclear about the specifics.

Their admiration for Muli made them spare no effort in wholeheartedly supporting this project.

Except for Huo Xiao.

He refused Muli's request,

Muli is someone who doesn't regard human life as human life, but he is not.

Huo Xiao's path was a dead end, but Mu Li certainly hadn't given up.

In the end, no one knew what method he used,

That crazy idea really came to fruition.

Muli caught a mature female bear king.

The other researchers were spreading rumors, but Huo Xiao had obtained solid evidence.

This is precisely the real reason why the researchers from the Green Lizard Star had to leave.

If they didn't leave, the Bear King would bury them underground.

"There was a little accident," Mu Li said as he sat down, crossing one leg over the other.

There was absolutely no intention of repentance.

So many star coins spent, so many people dead,

He didn't take it seriously at all.

Mu Li's eyes appeared somewhat gloomy beneath the lenses.

He had the face of a typical refined scoundrel.

The actions taken were anything but refined, all of them were scoundrels.

The mother bear king's strike at the flying rock was clearly aimed at his aircraft.

She remembers herself.

But Muli immediately instructed the pilot to adjust the position of the aircraft, hiding behind other aircraft

Found someone to take the fall.

After detonating the corrosive explosives, that land could no longer be traversed.

They had no protective measures and could only return to the Imperial Star.

Even if the Bear King and the daredevils perished together..

Even though many researchers lie in eternal rest amidst the ruins of the laboratory.

A small accident.

This was just a minor accident in Mu Li's eyes.

"I need a planet-ending bomb."

Muli finally revealed the purpose of his visit.

Huo Xiao's anger was rising.

You want, and you want again?

Am I your mother?

Every day, he comes to me with demands.

Although he had never once fulfilled Muli's wishes.

However, this time, Muli came prepared.

He placed a stack of papers on Huo Xiao's desk.

Huo Xiao glanced over.

The Armament Cooperation Agreement?

"How does General Huo feel about such an exchange?"

Mu Li offered Huo Xiao a deal he couldn't refuse.

Huo Xiao's expression changed.

At first, there was a lapse in the Huo family's work, resulting in an astronomical military expense, all of which they covered themselves.

The direct beneficiary of the loophole is the Imperial Star Laboratory, with military expenditure expected to continue for about five more years.

And now, Dean Mu Li has proactively suggested that the Huo family no longer needs to be responsible for this matter.

It was as if the gaping hole at the bottom of the Huo family's treasury, through which star coins constantly flowed away, had finally been sealed.

The conditions are quite enticing.

Huo Xiao's expression changed.

It's just blowing up a star, a desolate, abandoned star.

It's no big deal.

"Perfect timing, there's a new batch of planet-ending bombs in the warehouse, and we need a star to test the explosion on."

Huo Xiao said, "Where do you think is best, Dean Mu?"

This is the signal that the cooperation has been achieved.

Mu Li curled his lips, "There are too many useless stars in this universe."

"For example—"

"For example?"

"The Green Lizard Star is just perfect for being blown up."

Mu Li's gaze was cold and sinister; this planet had brought him an unprecedented defeat in his life.

It was the disgrace of his academic career.

It was also an irreparable regret, one he must cleanse away

Destruction, making it cease to exist in this galaxy, is the best solution.

Since the development of the Planet Terminator Missile, incidents of planet explosions have occasionally occurred.

The targets are generally unsightly obstacles that hinder important interplanetary routes.

But sometimes, it was merely a form of performance art, a way for the Star Realm Federation Empire to flaunt its control over the universe.

In the years following the development of the planet-ending bomb, such behavior was commonplace.

The weather is nice, let's fry one.

In a good mood, fry one.

Today is a holiday, let's fry one.

It was only after Huo Xiao gained control over most of the military power that he was able to put an end to these absurd actions.

Since then, whenever large-scale destructive weapons are used, all the leaders must convene a meeting together.

The moment he stepped into the conference room, Huo Xiao suddenly remembered,

It seems that this was a regulation he personally approved.

It was first suggested by a general.

His wife was a nature enthusiast.

Although most of the bombed areas were desolate planets, there were still many small lives on them.

After mastering terrifying power, humanity should exercise self-restraint.

Otherwise, how would this be any different from the disaster beasts they loathed and detested?

Huo Xiao acted on impulse at first, but now it seems like he's blocking his own path.

Trouble.

He braced himself and entered the conference room.

The leaders of all factions had already arrived.

I didn't have time to come myself, so I sent a representative.

Everyone knows that this time it was Huo Xiao who took the initiative to blow up the star.

Blowing up a star is not a big deal,

But since this star unfortunately caught Huo Xiao's eye, it could only blame its own bad luck.

The confidentiality measures were well executed; only the participants of the disaster beast ability research project knew the inside story

Other forces had no idea what they were up to.

That is to say, the truth behind this star explosion incident is unclear.

The general with the environmentally conscious wife was also present.

Rustling through the materials prepared by the adjutant for everyone.

He was trembling with fear, thinking that if his wife saw this, there was no telling what kind of scene she would make.

We mustn't let her know!

He is a henpecked husband.

With his current status and influence, he didn't dare to speak in front of Huo Xiao

The last time I went to offer a suggestion, I had already taken a great risk.

This time, how could he risk provoking Huo Xiao's wrath again!

The meeting went very smoothly.

Everyone was just going through the motions; there were basically no objections.

There were also those with resolute attitudes, a few old men banded together below, cursing indirectly

The young ones are arrogant, taking a feather for an arrow of command..

But they only dared to quote scriptures, skirt around the edges, and vent their complaints.

Not a single mention of Huo Xiao's name dared to be made.

When Huo Xiao's gaze swept over, they all fell silent.

Shivering.

Just love to be a smart mouth?

What good intentions could these old men possibly have?

Could it be that they are also environmentalists?

Bullshit.

It was just an attempt to disgust himself.

Huo Xiao saw that these people were all getting on in years, with one foot already in the grave, so he didn't bother to argue with them.

To avoid scaring them too much, the old men's children would go to the media to complain.

This matter is basically set in stone.

The meeting is about to end.

The adjutant whispered a few words into Huo Xiao's ear.

Him?

Huo Xiao: "Not seeing."

It seemed unexpected that Huo Xiao's reaction was exactly the same as what that person had said.

The adjutant immediately took out the item that the person had asked him to deliver to Huo Xiao.

Huo Xiao only took one glance.

The reaction was spot on again!

Outside the meeting room.

"Whistle! Whistle!"

The person came with both hands in their pockets, behaving frivolously

But it seemed to reveal itself only in front of me.

The utmost vile disrespect and mockery.

This guy, no matter how many times you see him, a hundred times, he's always that annoying!

Huo Xiao frowned.

"You're looking for her, aren't you?" Li Yuan's eyes were cunning.

In Huo Xiao's hand, there was a student badge.

[Imperial Star National High School, Senior Year (A) Class, Wen Meng]

"Where did you get this?"

Huo Xiao's face was as cold as ice in the Black Sea.

Li Yuan was very happy, "I heard you're going to blow up a star?"

Huo Xiao grabbed his collar: "I asked you, where did the stuff come from?"

Being subjected to violence, Li Yuan did not get angry but instead laughed

"Why don't you take a guess, right now, she..."

"On which star?"
