Full-Time Public Enemy-Chapter 711 - 508: Evolution Complete Form_4

"They deliberately lured us deep inside, aiming to obtain the Sleeping Ancestors' regenerative abilities and the Quantum Wizard's Quantum Teleportation ability. In addition, they had already captured an Elemental Navigator within Delai City and prepared a large quantity of metal machinery beneath their hive nest. If we used Close Range Attack Ships or Antimatter Bombs to attack them, they would harness the energy from the attacks to acquire the Elemental Navigator's capabilities, fusing the metal into themselves. Their composed Starships would then become even more durable, rivaling our own Starships in toughness. They could also regenerate, becoming nearly invincible in star battles! While these attacks would surely inflict major damage on them, they would also aid them. And their recovery speed would definitely far exceed our expectations."

"What actually limits them is energy. They breached Delai City and obtained its energy system. However, this energy was used to replicate the capabilities of the Microscopic Analysts from the Karl Group laboratory. Such a small city's energy system is insufficient to support their continued evolution to acquire the Elemental Navigator's abilities. In fact, after they later used the Microscopic Analyst ability a few times, they exhausted all their remaining energy."

Chen Gu sighed in relief internally. The Star State had a sparse population, and most of its cities were small with low-powered energy systems. If this had been the Confederation, a city with millions, or even tens of millions, of residents would have an energy system sufficient to support the moss viruses' evolution twice. After acquiring the Elemental Navigator's abilities, the hive nest could evolve directly into the complete form of a Starship and break out into the Star Sea. The small fleet the Star State had prepared outside would definitely have failed to stop it.

Chen Gu then suggested, "Now that the moss viruses and the Digital Group have the Delai City experience, they will certainly learn from it. I recommend we immediately check the other three cities where hive nests are present. It's highly probable that the moss viruses are covertly siphoning energy through the cities' energy systems!"

Marshal Ostia immediately issued an order: "Contact Chairman White right away and have the Rights Association investigate."

Chen Gu also complimented the Marshal, "Thank you, Your Excellency, for your trust in me. It was your wisdom in refraining from blindly ordering Close Range Attack Ships to bombard Delai City that allowed us to thoroughly thwart the Digital Group and moss viruses' plot!"

The Marshal's face beamed with pride. He felt the admiring glances from the generals—who had been on the brink of mutiny just moments before—and reveled in the moment. He laughed heartily, "The Confederation is known for producing master tacticians, but we in the Star State are no less capable!"

Chen Gu decided not to comment further. *As long as you're happy,* he thought.

Putting himself aside, even Bai Yunpeng could give the so-called tactical geniuses of the Star State a run for their money, tactically fighting them to a standstill.

"Once we've safely evacuated, we can deploy Close Range Attack Ships for the bombardment, ensuring nothing survives! These moss viruses have already evolved to a very high level; any that manage to escape could trigger another disaster!"

The Marshal waved his hand grandly. "Leave it to us. Covering a target with overwhelming firepower is what we Star State people do best!"

Chen Gu offered a slight smile, and their exchange concluded in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

When Chen Gu returned to a military base outside the city, Chairman White's message arrived: "Captain Chen, it's fortunate we have you! I'm fully aware of the entire process now. If it weren't for your persistence in convincing those muscle-bound fools not to use Antimatter Bombs on the hive nest, not only would the moss Starships have achieved complete evolution, but we'd also still be in the dark about these internal matters! Indeed, the hive nests in those three cities were secretly siphoning energy. We've now severed all those energy channels. That was a close call—those moss viruses nearly added three more fully evolved moss Starships to their forces!"
