CHAPTER 352: CHAPTER 313: UNSCIENTIFIC

"What should I do?"

Xiao Ting paced around her office, her palms sweaty with anxiety, but she couldn’t think of a good solution.

Interstellar communication had been blocked by Yu Canghai; she couldn’t contact the High Command, let alone her family.

On White Rat Star, she was the highest ranking person from the Xiao Family. If anything happened, she had to figure it out herself.

This time, she had truly been too careless. She never expected Yu Canghai to be so shameless, using such extreme measures.

An elite assault master had been used as bait by Yu Canghai.

No matter the success or failure of the plan, the elite assault master was finished. More troubling was that Gao Xuan was still in Raccoon City.

No matter how strong Gao Xuan was, he was not yet at a level to withstand a nuclear bomb head-on. Six fifty-million-ton nuclear bombs being dropped would be absolutely devastating.

If Gao Xuan happened to be at the core area of a nuclear detonation, he would undoubtedly be killed.

The battlefield was fraught with peril; even if Gao Xuan could sense danger, he wouldn’t know where the threat was coming from.

Gao Xuan was more valuable and important than an assault master.

Xiao Ting really liked Gao Xuan, but at critical moments, she considered not her relationship with Gao Xuan, but rather Gao Xuan’s value.

In such significant matters, personal feelings were insignificant.

Gao Xuan was extremely powerful, powerful enough to disrupt the balance of Taurus. With Gao Xuan, the Xiao Family could easily suppress other noble families.

Although Gao Xuan was about to become the son-in-law of Hercules, this status was even more valuable.

The Xiao Family’s close relationship with Gao Xuan meant that the higher Gao Xuan’s status and power, the more advantageous it was for the Xiao Family.

It was almost certain that Gao Xuan would become a Golden Sword Saint, which meant he had unlimited potential in the future.

From an official standpoint, Gao Xuan mustn’t be harmed.

From a personal standpoint, she also did not want anything to happen to Gao Xuan.

Xiao Ting somewhat suspected that perhaps Yu Canghai knew Gao Xuan was in Raccoon City, which was why he used such vicious methods.

In this world, there were always various strange marvels. Even stranger tactics existed. The other side might have used some means to find out about Gao Xuan’s movements.

To be fair, if such aggressive and extreme tactics could quell the insect race rebellion on White Rat Star in one stroke, it would be justified.

For those in power, war was just a numbers game. Morality and humanity were not meaningless, but those in power also considered them as a form of profit.

War was to gain more significant benefits.

If Yu Canghai succeeded, then nothing he did would be questioned. Those in power would naturally cover for him. They might even concoct a promotional article, hailing Yu Canghai as a hero who saved the world.

Xiao Ting was extremely furious at the thought of this possibility.

Regardless, she had to get Gao Xuan out. She couldn’t stop Yu Canghai, and she couldn’t contact Gao Xuan, so she had no choice but to venture into Raccoon City herself.

At the current rate of the assault team’s advance, the main force would be able to gather at Maple Umbrella Square in the city center in six hours.

That meant she had six hours.

If she found Gao Xuan within six hours and moved away from the city center, she and Gao Xuan could survive.

Xiao Ting was decisive; she immediately gathered her elite subordinates to form a small team, preparing to enter Raccoon City through an airdrop.

When Yu Canghai received the news, he coldly laughed, "Naive Xiao Ting."

His plan allowed no room for interference.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to eliminate both the Insect Queen and Gao Xuan.

Yu Canghai glanced at Yu Lingji, "Where is Gao Xuan now?"

Yu Lingji took out an ancient parchment map, and with a swipe of her hand, a red dot appeared on the map, which was constantly changing.

A few seconds later, the words ’Raccoon City’ appeared on the map.

Yu Lingji said, "Gao Xuan is still in Raccoon City."

Yu Canghai smiled, "This tracking map is indeed useful."

"It’s all a gift from God."

Yu Lingji slightly lowered her head and closed her eyes, her hands clasped tightly at her chest, in a pious posture.

Yu Canghai looked disapprovingly at his niece’s facade of being a mystic but said nothing.

Worshipping an evil god was purely for profit, with nothing to do with faith.

It was just that little kids like Yu Lingji couldn’t differentiate, which is why she was so mystified.

Yu Canghai couldn’t be bothered to lecture his niece. Once people developed faith, nothing others said would change them.

As long as Yu Lingji continued to work for the family interests without acting recklessly, she was free to believe in the evil gods all she wanted.

Like this time, if Yu Lingji hadn’t gotten the tracking map, they wouldn’t even know Gao Xuan had arrived on White Rat Star.

Yu Canghai knew that the Wang Family and the Lin Family secretly worshiped the evil god. Even their Yu Family had many members who believed.

For large families, worshiping an evil god was essentially a form of hedging their bets. Some family members believe, while others do not.

It was rare to see families like the Lan Family, where the patriarch worshiped the evil god.

Of course, it wasn’t because the Lan Family was silly, but because their patriarch was at the end of his lifespan and needed external force.

The Yu Family’s hostility towards Gao Xuan was because Gao Xuan’s tactics were too ruthless, wiping out most of the direct lineage of the Lan Family.

Unrestrained, Gao Xuan completely disrupted the political balance of Taurus.

Originally, after Gao Xuan left, the major noble families joined forces to suppress the Xiao Family.

However, Gao Xuan has returned. And from the looks of it, he plans to stay on Taurus for a long time. This is something the major noble families cannot tolerate.

The major noble families lacked the courage to confront Gao Xuan directly, so they thought up many underhanded tricks.

Because Gao Xuan hadn’t appeared for several days, they used a tracking map. As a result, they discovered that Gao Xuan had arrived on White Rat Star. For some unknown reason, Gao Xuan even personally entered the Raccoon City battlefield.

Yu Canghai originally intended to use the Assault Master as bait to lure out the Insect Queen of the Insect Race.

For the Insect Queen, elite assault soldiers were a perfect feast. Once these soldiers were killed, they had to be delivered to the Insect Queen to devour their brains and extract their Spiritual Power and memories.

Large numbers of assault soldiers are difficult to transport quickly. If the time of death is too long, human Spiritual Power will completely dissipate.

Yu Canghai designed this plan based on the Insect Queen’s characteristics.

Gao Xuan entering Raccoon City was a complete surprise. For this reason, Yu Canghai actually mobilized twelve fifty-million nuclear bombs.

As long as Gao Xuan is in Raccoon City, he can forget about leaving alive.

For Yu Canghai, Gao Xuan’s priority level was higher than the Insect Queen’s.

If the Insect Queen couldn’t be killed, at most it would wreak havoc on White Rat Star. No matter how the Insect Race develops, in this Source Power-deficient environment, they wouldn’t be able to reproduce strong Insect Race that can cross the Star River.

Gao Xuan, however, was someone who could change the structure of the Twelve Star Domain. He severely threatened the major noble families and severely damaged their interests. He must die.

Above the underground hangar, the revolving door quickly opened, and the Flying Fish Battleship carrying fifteen elite soldiers slowly rose into the sky.

At this moment, the communicator inside the cockpit rang: "Battleship 0133 is violating the prohibition by flying unauthorized. You are ordered to land immediately. Land immediately. The anti-air Battle Net has been activated..."

An ear-piercing alarm also sounded inside the Flying Fish Battleship, indicating that the radar had detected the battleship being locked on by anti-air missiles, warning all members.

"Yu Canghai!"

Xiao Ting, sitting in the co-pilot seat, was furious, but she couldn’t resist.

Yu Canghai would indeed dare to use anti-air missiles to shoot down the flying ship.

As the highest commander on White Rat Star, Xiao Ting was completely powerless to fight against him.

There was no other choice, Xiao Ting had to let the flying ship land. She felt a bit of despair; she could only pray in her heart, hoping Gao Xuan could escape this disaster...

But she also knew this hope was very slim...

Gao Xuan, who Xiao Ting was worried about, had already delved dozens of kilometers underground in Raccoon City by this time.

The Electromagnetic Net of the Insect Race was essentially a conversion of Thought Waves.

The Electromagnetic Net blocked human wireless communication, but at the same time, it exposed the operation of the Insect Race’s Thought Waves.

A few ambushes by the Plasma Beetles further exposed the direction of the Electromagnetic Net.

After dealing with a few Plasma Beetles, Gao Xuan took the opportunity to slip into the underground.

The Insect Race had dug countless tunnels underground, complex like an underground maze.

Gao Xuan just needed to follow the Thought Waves forward, and no matter how complex the terrain was, it couldn’t confuse him.

As for why not use a script, it’s because he didn’t know what the Golden Insect Race was called, nor did he know what it looked like.

Gao Xuan removed his Exoskeleton Armor and put it away, changing into the Mysterious Windbreaker. He had always kept this item in his backpack.

Wearing the Mysterious Windbreaker, Gao Xuan silently entered the depths of the gigantic Crystal Cave.

The shimmering Crystal Cave was filled with blue-glowing crystals. A gigantic insect lay in the center of the cave.

This insect was pale and chubby, resembling a silkworm baby, but its body was dozens of meters long and seven to eight meters high.

Without a doubt, this was the Insect Queen.

The Insect Queen lay there, continuously laying eggs from its rear. These tiny eggs rolled into a huge pool below. The pool was filled with blood-like liquid, with countless unknown insects nurtured inside.

Surrounding the Insect Queen were dozens of Plasma Beetles and countless Venomous Ants.

Gao Xuan even saw a group of massive Iron Blade Spiders. These spiders had eight long legs. Four of the legs were sharp like sword blades. The spider’s tail also had a black whip-like tail.

These Iron Blade Spiders had bodies as hard as iron, and their blades were sharp enough to pierce Exoskeleton Armor.

In this gigantic Crystal Cave, the most elite combat power of the Insect Race was gathered. This force could easily win in a direct confrontation with the Assault Master.

However, Gao Xuan didn’t find any trace of the Golden Insect Race.

The Insect Queen was actually just an egg-laying machine, very important, but still a certain distance from the Golden Level.

With Thought Waves crisscrossing in the air, Gao Xuan couldn’t pinpoint the exact location of the Golden Insect Race.

Gao Xuan felt a bit confused. Where was this guy hiding?

At this moment, he suddenly had a premonition of danger.

Gao Xuan turned around and saw a person in Golden Battle Armor standing quietly, only ten meters away from him.

"Are you looking for me?" the person asked in a low voice.

The pronunciation was very standard but carried a mechanical, rigid tone, lacking the normal fluctuations of human speech, making it seem incredibly uncanny.

The person’s pair of golden compound eyes stared intently at Gao Xuan, adding to the sense of horror.

Gao Xuan was also very surprised: "What’s going on? You can see me? That’s not scientific..."
