Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 966 - 279: Developments on All Sides

After Chen Ming reconfirmed the president’s requirements.

The president sent him a communication code: "This is the communication code of a Fifth Legion leader I’m currently collaborating with."

"Although the messages will ultimately be collected by me, their side has the first-hand information, so creating a discussion group based on military networks shouldn’t be a problem."

Chen Ming now has a basic understanding of military matters, so he immediately said, "I understand, the Fourteenth Legion also has something similar."

The president didn’t say much more, only added one last thing: "Alright, I’ll have more news to share with you later, thank you for your help."

Communication ended.

Chen Ming’s expression was a bit strained after setting down the terminal.

After all, An Wuping really intended to enter Cai Mo, and he certainly knew about it.

At that time, he would still need to assess the situation to decide whether to stop An Wuping... to be precise, to stop Zuo Jing, who’s with An Wuping, that Thousand Faces.

Anyway, An Wuping is still An Wuping, but the body is new, the brain is new, and the old body and mind have been stored elsewhere by Chen Ming.

There’s no need to worry about some odd reactions with Zuo Jing and those who’ve experienced dimensional infection.

In fact, if necessary, Chen Ming can even help Zuo Jing send An Wuping into the Cai Mo Star Realm.

Of course, that’s if necessary; the specific actions will depend on the situation in the coming days.

Meanwhile.

After hanging up the phone, the president picked up the report he had just set aside before calling Chen Ming. The content displayed on the report was not just pessimistic but very grim.

What he previously mentioned about needing external military assistance for a blockade was not because the star realm region is too large and difficult to seal off.

A star realm within any Empire, no matter how vast, is insignificant; it’s not something that can’t be contained.

Moreover, it’s not about avoiding suspicion; typically, matters within a star realm are handled by the star realm itself.

Speaking of avoiding suspicion, the real reason is that they faced numerous inexplicable resistances while working in the Cai Mo Star Realm.

Zuo Jing’s infiltration into the Cai Mo Star Realm was unexpectedly deep.

The Psychic had unknowingly converted many for Zuo Jing.

This is the real trouble.

Furthermore, it’s been nearly two weeks since Chen Ming revealed Zuo Jing’s dimensional infection.

The situation of dimensional infection has basically been confirmed, and this excessively higher mutation rate compared to nearby star realms has already proven this point.

But after two weeks, many of the star systems still lack sufficient manpower for an in-depth investigation, with much effort being dragged by people whose link to Zuo Jing is uncertain.

So he sought out Chen Ming and subtly hinted at the dire situation.

Hoping Chen Ming could assist in some way.

While the president worried about the Cai Mo Star Realm incident.

In the neighboring Red Ink Star Realm.

Wu An was still sitting in that same bar.

However, Hu Yi was not there but was in Wu An’s terminal, having a video call with him.

Judging from the background behind Wu An, he was now on a spaceship in transit.

Wu An tapped a few times on the terminal and said: "A new clue just arrived, regarding the Psychic you’re currently tracking who destroyed Zuo Jing’s Space Station. I’ve already sent the latest intel to you."

Hu Yi seemed a bit impatient on his end; it looked like he’s been waiting a long time for a lead since departing last time to trace An Wuping’s trail.

"Quick, let me see. You said last time his name is An Wuping, right?"

"Yes, An Wuping..."

Wu An’s tone held a peculiar feel to it, one that even Hu Yi could sense.

"What’s wrong?"

"Nothing. Just keep an eye on this guy. As someone with dimensional infection experience, it’s troublesome that he’s now joining up with Zuo Jing."

"Teamed up with Zuo Jing?"

Hu Yi asked in confusion, not getting a response from Wu An, he didn’t say much more, and just silently started to review the intel sent over from Wu An’s side.

After several minutes.

Hu Yi also set down the terminal and said to the waiting Wu An: "That’s not going to be easy."

"He originally didn’t hide his tracks; he was striding towards Cai Mo relying on the idea that Audan Star Realm wouldn’t inform other star realms. Now with this, it’s kind of tricky."

"Zuo Jing can’t be exposed to the public view, how are we supposed to track him?"

"That’s what you’re concerned about?"

Wu An asked in a puzzled manner: "Is it important whether we can track him? The issue is not about tracking now that he’s linked with Zuo Jing..."

As Wu An spoke, his tone suddenly softened, still somewhat not understanding.

But this time his confusion wasn’t directed at Hu Yi but at something else.

"Anyway, don’t rush for now; I’ll think of another way, maybe I can help you find out about An Wuping’s information. Give me two days, and I should have results."

"You have people in Zuo Jing?"

"I can’t say."

"?"

Hu Yi asked, "What do you mean?"

Wu An waved his hand: "Can’t say means can’t say, you just focus on your own things, maybe you’ll soon find someone who can help you."

Wu An directly hung up the call.

And after hanging up, he muttered to himself: "Of course, it could also mean getting you beaten up, just don’t get killed."
