Shadows of the Deep Space Chapter 1863 - 571: Grace (Part 4)

He waited for half a day and did not receive any response.

Su Ming was increasingly surprised, so he began searching everywhere for Dr. Blakes.

Soon after, Su Ming arrived at the second underground level of the Xi Guang Laboratory.

At that moment, he suddenly saw Long Bai and Blakes walking out of a distant passage, then they came to an unremarkable wall.

Click!

The wall cracked open to reveal a secret passage.

Long Bai walked straight into the passage and left.

Su Ming was slightly stunned; Long Bai actually came to Xi Guang Laboratory? To know that Long Bai is very busy now.

Moreover, the passage Long Bai and Blakes walked out of, if he remembered correctly, led to the cell that once held VI-type Heroic Level Chilami Brooklyn.

Su Ming immediately recalled Old Fei’s experience and the last time he saw Admiral Kabunofa inside Xi Guang Laboratory, his eyelid twitched, involuntarily harboring a suspicion.

Su Ming took a deep breath to calm his unsettled heart, then chased after Dr. Blakes and shouted.

"Dr. Blakes!"

Blakes stopped and turned his head to look at Su Ming, speaking indifferently.

"Su Ming, what are you doing here?"

"I’m here to find you, I sent you messages but you didn’t reply."

Su Ming said to Blakes.

"I was busy and didn’t check the messages."

Blakes glanced at the information on his wristband and said calmly.

"Hmm, what were you busy with just now?"

Su Ming asked with a smile.

On hearing Su Ming’s words, Blakes responded with subtle emotion.

"It seems you saw everything."

"Haha, by the way, why did Lord Long Bai suddenly come to Xi Guang Laboratory, what did she want from you?"

"If anyone else were asking that question, they would have to pay closer attention in their next life."

Blakes’ cold expression flickered with a strange smile.

"Uh, then I won’t ask anymore."

Su Ming said awkwardly, changing his question.

At this moment, Blakes said coolly to Su Ming.

"Lord Long Bai came to inquire about the VI-type Gene Potion."

"VI-type Gene Potion? It’s been developed so quickly?"

Su Ming looked at Blakes incredulously and asked.

Su Ming knew more than anyone how difficult it was to develop the V-type Gene Potion, and how high the risk was to inject it. Now the VI-type Gene Potion has been developed?

"It’s not that easy to develop. The VI-type Gene Potion that Lord Long Bai inquired about was extracted from the body of Dragon String Council President, containing the power of the Dimension Stone, which is highly toxic. Although I used Star Spirit Blood and the plant you brought back to mitigate the negative effects, it’s still a drop in the bucket."

"I see, I understand now."

Su Ming’s brows immediately furrowed. At this critical moment, she’s so focused on this Gene Potion, which inevitably gave him a sense of foreboding.

"Su Ming, Su Ming...."

At this moment, Blakes called out.

"Ah!"

Su Ming snapped back to reality and responded instinctively.

Blakes looked at the dazed Su Ming and asked.

"What did you come to find me for?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to ask how the modification of Ilyas is going?"

Su Ming replied immediately.

"It’ll be completed in seven days."

Blakes gave a specific timeframe.

"Alright."

Su Ming nodded in agreement.

Old Galaxy.

At this moment, outside the Frost Mist Star, situated between Earth Flame Star and Black Flame Star.

The pitch-black starry sky rippled, and the dense Imperial warship fleets emerged from Subspace.

These Imperial ships sailed into outer space outside Frost Mist Star, opening rows of landing exits.

Countless mechas flew out, charging into the interior of Frost Mist Star like swarms of locusts.

At this moment, rows of launch openings on the ships were activated and pods were ejected.

Inside the Frost Base City.

A muscular middle-aged male treasure hunter, carrying various looted jewels and jewelry, excitedly walked out of a residential building.

"You can’t do this, this is robbery!"

At this moment, an older woman stormed out, grabbing at the successful treasure hunter, angrily accusing him.

"Buzz off!"

The treasure hunter rudely kicked the woman in the stomach, knocking her to the ground.

Although the Federation had organized personnel for evacuation, some people were unwilling to abandon their homes, no matter how they were persuaded, so many Federation citizens still remained on Frost Mist Star.

Moreover, because the Federation evacuated in such a hurry, many resources were left behind, attracting many treasure hunters who came illegally in search of fortune, despite the risks.

Suddenly, a loud roar was heard overhead.

The treasure hunter and the older woman froze, instinctively raising their heads to look at the sky.

Dark mechas and pods descended on Frost City.

"It’s over, the Imperial Army is here, run!"

The treasure hunter dashed away in terror.

These treasure hunters, faced with the rapidly descending Imperial Army, wore expressions of despair. Despite spending a fortune on strategic expert consultations and purchasing intelligence, believing the Imperial Army wouldn’t invade so soon, they came just to pick up leftovers and treasure.

They didn’t expect the Dark Star Empire would strike so quickly.

"Damn those fraud experts!"

...

The treasure hunter cursed through gritted teeth.

In fact, the reason the Dark Star Empire was so urgent to invade was because the Holy Army had raided their domestic territories, disrupting their supplies, forcing them to fight swiftly and decisively.

Bang bang!

The army of the Dark Star Empire made a formidable landing inside the desolate base city.

A series of mechas and soldiers activated the thermal imaging exploration mode, starting a thorough sweep of the entire city.
