Chapter 769 (2/2)

Lan Jue’s eyes flashed “What if an Adept is infected? Our bodies are stronger than a typical human, would we be able to develop antibodies that could be useful?”

The Keeper balked “In theory, yes, but the dangers are great They would likely be enormously powerful, a fact I’m sure the aliens themselves had considered It may be why they haven’t tried it”

Lan Qing interrupted the We ht noe need to focus on how to adjust the plan with the information we have at hand”

Even Lan Qing couldn’t help but feel the pang of helplessness gnawing at his chest Although his brother’s ht back was not what they wanted to hear Allied forces were now faced with an impossible situation They were duty-bound to save those people, but it would invariably slow their operation to a crawl They would be leaving the alien planets to complete their evolutionary process unmolested

Since no one kne long it would take for their transfor before a ticking tioes off, it truly would mean the end

Their plans were certainly going to have to change

Kang Hui scowled as he thought “Adree that these unfortunate victims need to be saved, we must consider the facts We sileWe th, but this may very well be our last opportunity You have to choose, which is more important?”

Lan Qing nodded in understanding Everyone wanted to save whoever they could, but it the effort would break them It not only interrupted their carefully laid plans, but also risks losing them the war

Lan Jue chimed in “We can , or at least preparing to That etting involved in a fight While we can’t be sure about Europa, it’s certain there are many survivors left on the others planets, and even more if we consider the infected How can we live with ourselves if we leave the says to be true If it boils down to having tothe alienall of us, all across human space”

Lan Jue’s heart was in a knot even as he spoke the words Of course he hoped he could save everyone, but did their situation allow it?

Lan Qing replied “If we could have it both ways that would be the best, even if it brought considerable risk But it would all rely on having enough strength to do the job Let’s put our heads together and see if we can’t figure so out”

Hua Li finally lent his voice to the conversation “Doing both est you make preparations for a full attack At the very least we’ll be ready to take any opportunity that presents itself, and at best we can es if a better solution is found If we can’t find a way to save those people, it won’t detract froht”

His suggestion was theHui was conflicted with the dilemma they faced The death of so many of his countrymen had left him with a deep and painful impression He desperately wished for some way to save the Westerners from a similar fate

Lan Qing nodded At present Hu Li’s suggestion was the most suitable At least for now, it was the best they could do

“Very well, we stick to the original goals andsaid, his voice hard and low

Lan Jue sat there in silence He already knew the plan very well, right now his sole focus was finding a way to save those people

How many souls were left on those seven planets? They had families, spouses, children… now their ho their lives apart The thought went through Lan Jue’s ain He could feel their pain, see their hopeless expressions His character demanded that he take any chance to save them, even if it were one in a million

But they had another responsibility to the whole human race that was just as important, so a situation that attacked both proble these people had to rest on the pre the alien threat Otherwise, what purpose would saving them serve? If the alien home worlds were allowed to evolve, it would only delay the inevitable
