He Yunting turned off the communicator and looked back at Lin Han who had quietly crawled into the mecha.

He also saw Xi Yuan, who was not angry at all on the ground, and the expression on his face was quite calm, and he replied to He Yunting's look without worrying about his eyes.

The formation was in a hurry last time, not to mention that the base had no contact with Wen Tianyao at that time, and it was a mecha team that was directly on, so Xi Yuan naturally could not accompany him.

It is not easy for ordinary people to come from the empire to the Proton Star. If you have to go to Bokou to contact the spaceship you may pass through, it requires procedures and identity verification.

Now it seems that what Wen Tianyao himself said about "job transfer" was probably the excuse that Xi Yuan had used his identity to go to Proton Star.

But there might be an accident in one link, and he himself was not able to survive in the end.

He seemed to have not passed too long for his death, his clothes were torn, his limbs, especially his ten fingers, were already bloody and bloody, as if they were scratching themselves, and even his nails were hard to see clearly.

And there was more than a corpse lying beside him.

Under He Yunting's order, the small mecha turned over another corpse with a face buried on the ground.

If only some people know Xi Yuan, almost everyone has seen the face she showed this time.

It was the boy holding a cake before.

His death was similar to Xi Yuan. I wonder if what happened to the two of them during their lifetime.

But the most important thing is... the city he was in at that time was not the current Port of Chris.

The "living person" who has just appeared in the news has become like this now.

After all, no matter what, this is the turning point for Xu Zhiheng to discover antagonists.

Although everyone is talking through the communicator now, it is not difficult to imagine the feeling of shock or confusion when seeing this scene at this time.

Lin Han was also a little surprised.

He stood up and wanted to see He Yunting's reaction, but he could only see the other party's broad back.

After hesitating for a while, Lin Han couldn't help but take off his helmet, push open the door of the second cockpit, and walk in and grab He Yunting's hand.

He couldn't say what he was in. He knew that He Yunting would definitely be the calmest among everyone, but he still wanted to hug him.

He Yunting's palms were dry. Seeing Lin Han coming, he turned his face lightly and leaned over and rubbed Lin Han's nose.

Only Xu Zhiheng and Xi Yuan had close contact before. He Yunting did not hesitate and transferred the public communicator to a private channel and contacted Xu Zhiheng: "Professor Xu."

"Xi Yuan was once your student. Do you still remember his second gender?"

Xu Zhiheng immediately said: "It's beta."

"I understand." He Yunting stopped asking and cut off the communication.

He looked down at Lin Han.

The other party's expression was always very calm. He had only taken him out once, but he had never been to other places in the early years, but he seemed to have no fear or panic in the devastated scene at this moment.

Even if the person lying on the ground at this moment had no humanity to think of him as an experimental subject.

After Lin Han learned about He Yunting's emotions, he took the initiative to speak: "I have nothing to be afraid of. It's just Xi Yuan..."

If the previous incident was related to him, he would naturally know the harm of this gene to beta. If he had other intentions here, no matter what, it would be impossible to prevent it at all.

But he is lying here coldly now.

The two of them were quiet for a moment.

"The starship left Chris Port and also docked towards the central city." He Yunting cut back to public communications again. "After the starship was parked, all the mechas with movement were dispersed from now on to all cities except the central city of Proton Star. They explore the current situation as detailed as possible without leaving the mecha. If there are new trends, they will directly explain to Lieutenant Colonel Lu."

"If you want to be in the center, I will go alone."

Soon the private channel on Xu Zhiheng's side lit up. He Yunting thought about it and clicked on it. He heard the other party's slightly anxious voice: "Admiral, I apply to go to the central city together."

Xu Zhiheng said: "You also know that the supply system of the central city is separate from other cities. And judging from the previous situation, even if other cities are in serious condition, the central city is the only place that may not be affected. If there has not been any impact, then there is still hope of survival..."

"But Professor Xu," He Yunting said calmly, "After we left last time, the place has gradually recovered. Can you be sure that there is no revived gene invasion?"

"The last time you forced off the mecha was an accident. Although you made a guarantee this time, in principle, I still have to protect you and prevent the Empire from losing to professional scholars like you."

There was no sound over Xu Zhiheng.

He Yunting paused and clicked the mecha number where Qi Jiamu was: "You will continue to be responsible for Professor Xu's safety."

"Yes!" the other party simply responded.

No one had any objections. Some of the mechas had been dispersed, and the starships were reignited and drove towards the central city.

He Yunting clicked on the communicator, switched to a new frequency and reconnected.

From the time when the starship arrived at the central city and the crowd was dispersed, Lu Anhe was responsible for collecting the information obtained, and then reported it to He Yunting after sorting it out.

"There is nothing strange except for Xi Yuan and the Beta's body," Lu Anhe said. "It is very likely that Xi Yuan would come to Proton Star privately, maybe he came to find this child. Maybe he thought Professor Xu's antagonist would take effect, and when he took him to Chris Port to prepare for shipping to another place, he was also affected. The final result was what we saw."

He Yunting responded: "What about other cities?"

"The three cities I have cleaned up before have no signs of life at present, but those surrounding cities that were originally thought to have been rescued and healed..."

Lu Anhe's voice choked.

“…I didn’t expect the situation to be so serious.”

From the outbreak of rumors to the tangible evidence that this gene was rekindled on the Proton Star, and to the empire's re-sending starship to the Proton Star, it took only a week.

This happened to the proton stars at the beginning, and the progress never happened so quickly.

The mechas of each city responsible for carrying out the mission transmit real-time images, as if they were even more severe than when they were infected before.

The southernmost part of the Proton Star was originally the most lively place on the planet. After the outbreak of the genetic virus, the number of infected people was relatively small. After obtaining the antagonist aerosol, the only patients were quickly cured and were once the most popular place.

But when the mecha came here, the lively old scenery had not yet dissipated, the shopping mall was still on, the Ferris wheel in the amusement park was still running, and music from somewhere could be heard on the street...

All of these are soaked in blood.

These aliens no longer even have the characteristics of distinguishing similar types. They will not unite themselves as Zergs and attack those who do not match their own smell - because it seems that in their eyes, everyone except themselves is alien.

The probability of bursting that is hundreds of times faster than the first gene invasion will completely change overnight after accumulating a certain number of aliens.

The soldiers could only speculate in their hearts about what they had experienced here by splashing dry blood on the wall, the scattered limbs scattered on the ground, and the bodies that could not be identified in their appearance.

They were completely different from the last time, and they would roar in an incomprehensible voice, biting and attacking all living lives indiscriminately until they fell down or others fell down.

Endless and endless.

The mecha formation occasionally encounters a few surviving aliens. They are the winners of the struggle, but in the final analysis, they are still just monsters with human bodies.

They were no longer mentally. When they saw the mecha coming, they would not retreat at all and hit them with their broken limbs in pain, leaving blood marks on the cold metal.

Qi Jiamu's team was responsible for the city of McZellai, the farthest from the central city. It is vast and sparsely populated. At the beginning, it was like Nosha State and was considered a city with relatively light suffering.

Now it is no different from Nosha State.

The images sent by formations that performed missions elsewhere were all the same.

No rescue team is needed at all.

Because even the rescue object cannot be found.

Are these aliens without human nature?

He Yunting connected to the team where Qi Jiamu was: "Is Professor Xu here?"

His eyes reflected the terrifying scenes conveyed by him, and his tone was low: "According to you, is there any need or possible to save this situation now?"

Xu Zhiheng didn't make any sound through the communicator for a long time, and could only breathe with a tragic sound.

"I don't mean to blame you." He Yunting said, "All attempts are risky. If you didn't do this at the time, the result would not be much change. Don't take it to your heart."

"...No more." Xu Zhiheng changed several times and said three words tremblingly.

He Yunting waited quietly for him to finish speaking.

"No." Xu Zhiheng said every word very hard, like a self-deprecating of his antagonist. "What I did is useless at all. The physiological characteristics of omega and beta are different. I originally thought that what is effective is just an illusion. Antagonists are just null drugs that delay the onset."

"These people can't be saved at all, they have already..."

Xu Zhiheng choked for two seconds before continuing.

"I came here this time and it didn't work." He said, "General, please give the order."

"Order to clean up again...clean up."

"I know." He Yunting replied, "I have already given orders."

Xu Zhiheng was no longer as excited as when he first came to Proton Star, and just murmured: "Then is this planet..."

Because of this strange gene, it almost perished.

"Yes." He Yunting's voice was still calm at this moment, and he gave Xu Zhiheng a definite reply.

No room for anything.

Seeing Xu Zhiheng fell silent again, He Yunting seemed unwilling to wait too much and was about to cut off the communication: "When Professor Xu had no other insights, he would continue to act like this."

"But the central city...!" Xu Zhiheng's voice rose, "There was no genetic infection in the central city at that time. If the central city was properly protected, if the central city was properly protected-"

"It's possible to survive!"

"Central City..." He Yunting slowed down his speech and slowly repeated these three words.
