Chapter 151: Intervention from the Military
Translator: Double_LEditor: Tehrn
Being an expert on Zergs, Dr. Gimmers was certain that there was already a leader or even an Encephalon Zerg among the Zergs on Paradise Island. The Encephalon Zergs were the most mysterious creatures of all. Although mankind was well-aware that these Encephalon Zergs were the real commanders and masterminds of the Zergs, they had never caught one before, which was why no one had any idea of how it looked like or how it was created. In fact, the other Zergs would even devour the Encephalon Zergs in order not to let them be captured by mankind.
Nevertheless, the three students were his biggest concern; however, there was really nothing he could do for the time being. He hoped the three poor lads were able to hang in there while waiting to be rescued by the FFC’s troops.
”Dr. Gimmers, the Zergs have found the entrance on the ground, and they’re trying to escape.”
”Lockdown the base, we’re getting out from here as well.”
”Copy that!”
Dr. Gimmers remained calm since those creatures were still struggling to break free, and he wouldn’t mind destroying the whole of Paradise Island as long as he could hunt down and capture the Encephalon Zerg. Dr. Gimmers then initiated the full lockdown protocol, and a giant steel wall began to rise from the sandy beach while countless pole-shaped iron barricades were immediately connected by a strong energy stream, forming a cage around Paradise Island. Even though the island was practically messed up, the Zergs would never be able to escape that easily.
Nobody except Dr. Gimmers had the authorization codes for every protocol, the codes were too important to be obtained by anyone else because even if there were really no Encephalon Zerg, there seemed to be still quite a lot of highly intelligent Zergs that existed on Paradise Island! Yet somehow the traitor was capable of sabotaging the controlling system on this island.
Everyone managed to get on a watercraft docked beside the island within ten minutes while waiting for the FFC’s troops; Paradise Island had become a quarantined fortress, and nothing would be able to escape as it has been completely locked down.
Ma Xiaoru, Samantha, Martyrus, and Dr. Gimmers then headed toward the command room immediately. However, Ma Xiaoru’s impatience kicked-in the moment she learned that Wang Tong was currently trapped inside Paradise Island.
”Dr. Gimmers, didn’t I tell you to put everyone’s safety as the first priority? Send in your men to look for them at once!” Ma Xiaoru looked solemn and instantly turned into another person.
Samantha and Martyrus didn’t say anything because they were not in the position to do so. Obviously, Ma Xiaoru was giving commands as the major shareholder of the FFC instead of a student of an academy.
”I am following your orders miss, but those three students have traveled into the deeper region of Paradise Island, and my rescue team is not able to infiltrate deeper. Right now it’s useless, even if we send every security personnel to join the rescue, it will only cause more casualties. Right now, all we can do is to pray for their safety while waiting for our troops!” Dr. Gimmers kept his cool and explained clearly to Ma Xiaoru. Judging from her temper, Dr. Gimmers knew that someone she cared about had to be amongst the trapped trio.
”That’s it, I’m going in!”
”Calm down, Xiaoru. You’re still unable to handle those creatures since you haven’t completely mastered your Tactics of the Enchantress. Right now, you have to trust Wang Tong and the others; moreover, this doesn’t look like an accident, which is why you have to keep your cool!” Samantha stopped Ma Xiaoru and said in a serious tone.
”Please remain calm, miss. This incident isn’t as simple as it looks like, and I believe we were set up by some other powerful party,” Dr. Gimmers explained. As the person in charge of Paradise Island, obviously, he was also one of FFC’s core members.
Times had changed, the House of Ma had become one of the Five Greatest Houses, and the FFC too had changed after all these years, silently influencing the lives of mankind and especially the development of Earth. Gradually, the influence became bigger and bigger, and in the end, the FFC had gained control of seventy percent of the METAL Suits manufacturing industry and also forty percent of mankind’s Space Crystal production; which later on, triggered a lot of hatred from the emerging forces. However, the House of Ma was able to form a concrete alliance with the House of Li, which enabled both houses to stay out of numerous troubles.
Nevertheless, something would happen in each era, and the FFC were used to those ”surprises”, but things had gone a little too far this time.
”Dr. Gimmers, something’s happening, it seems like a military troop is heading this way!”
Gimmers was startled as he swiped his finger onto the monitor. Apparently, an unknown military troop was advancing toward Paradise Island at a high-speed, outracing their private mercenaries. Those troop had the emblem of the Confederation Army.
