This is not mechanical ascension.

A few hours later, Wu Yanqing's experimental island was heavily surrounded.

Thick alloy electromagnetic light pillars stood on the nearby sea, forming an energy barrier that enveloped the entire island.

A large number of suspended combat aircraft surrounded the island, blocking it from all directions by land, sea and air.

The people traveling around the island are all special personnel wearing black advanced combat armor. Conduits and wires are hidden in the gaps in the armor. Various indicator lights are flashing. There is a light golden crescent moon logo on the chest of the armor. The aura is cold. .

Armed with firearms, they searched every place inch by inch. The open space was filled with corpses covered with white cloth.

On-site inspection analysts were urgently deployed and scanned with various precision instruments non-stop.

In the widest open space, a temporary combat command center has been set up, with several large metal cabins stacked on top of each other.

Among them, Li Ming and Fude were covered with various testing instruments, and various life data were accurately displayed on the big screen.

Ren Cangsong, Chen Jinglong, Blue Star senior executives, and several Etlan people stood around, and Duke Bai Ye was even there.

"After preliminary testing, there are no signs of biological virus injection on the bodies of Li Ming and His Highness Fu De, but their injuries are somewhat serious and require rest." As soon as the medical staff stated the preliminary diagnosis, they were interrupted by the middle-aged man standing next to Fu De. Said without hesitation:

"I want an accurate diagnosis, not a preliminary estimate."

The medical staff looked embarrassed, "The accurate physical examination data will have to wait for some time. Their blood has been taken for testing, so please be patient."

"Don't be impatient?" the middle-aged man scolded: "This is the son of the Prince of Baijan, a baron of the Itlan civilization. If anything happens to him, all of you here will be buried with him."

Enough! "Fudd shouted loudly, with a serious look on his face, and said a little apologetically: "I'm sorry, everyone, he is also confused when he is concerned, so please don't take it to heart. "

"Sanger." He turned around and said, "No one wants this kind of thing to happen."

"The top priority is to screen the remaining Torch members. Based on the conversations we heard, this is a plan that has been planned for a long time, and there may be a follow-up."

"Your Highness Ford, please rest assured. I have made arrangements to temporarily seal off the entire Jingnan planet. No spacecraft is allowed to leave its post."

Ren Cangsong responded immediately, and Blue Star also got angry this time.

"Destroy the Star...Destroy the Star..."

Chen Jinglong stood on the railing with his hands behind his back, looking at Caroline's body below, which was being cut by the ion light knife at a relatively slow speed, and was inspected in detail from the inside out.

"Super Istanbul, a dimensional creature that I have never heard of." Duke Bai Ye, standing aside, said with a solemn expression:

"Qi has always considered himself a rebel. This should be publicized so that all civilizations in the Silver Star Cluster can see their true colors."

"Publish it?" Chen Jinglong turned around, "Publishing it like this will only intensify the panic among various civilizations, and it is meaningless."

Duke Bai Ye's eyes flickered. Of course he knew, but this incident was a major blow to Blue Star's reputation.

Torch destroys the star. He is also on this planet and one of the targets. Naturally, he is angry.

But now, isn't the other party not destroyed? Since it is not destroyed, Xiao Jiujiu is naturally there.

Duke Bai Ye further said: "We must retaliate. We have suffered such a big loss, so we can't just swallow it."

"Also, your Jingnan star is really terrible. First, His Highness Yuko was assassinated, and there is still no explanation for Saiin's death."

"Now, the Torch has actually lurked in such a central place and almost killed His Highness Ford. Shouldn't you do something?" He even pulled Ford up.

He knew why Ford came here and believed that the other party would definitely cooperate with him.

Ren Cangsong stared at him coldly, and Duke Bai Ye found an excuse to attack this time.

He kneaded his brows, feeling increasingly irritated.

"It's not entirely their fault. Caroline is a quantum light and shadow mimic lizard, and their race is a natural spy." Ford interrupted:

"Have you forgotten? Not long after coming into contact with this race, all civilizations in the Silver Star Cluster were equipped with brainwave detectors. Aren't they the ones to be guarded against?"

Duke Bai Ye frowned. Ford's reaction was wrong. He was a little unpredictable. Why was he trying to excuse Blue Star?

But he reacted quickly and asked immediately: "Chen Jinglong, didn't you say that the Fireworks Apostle was killed by you? Why did she show up again?"

Chen Jinglong shook his head indifferently: "I don't know where Duke Bai Ye got the news. I never said she was killed. It's just that her whereabouts are unknown, and her life and death are unknown."

Duke Bai Ye sneered: "After so many years of not seeing you, your level has dropped really badly. After so many years of easy life, you are completely useless."

"If His Highness Ford hadn't been brave and fearless this time, and his bodyguards had fought to the death, we would all have been buried in the torch."

Chen Jinglong narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, and Ren Cangsong said: "Luochuan and others also resisted desperately, and are still unconscious. Li Ming is also seriously injured."

He noticed that Duke Bai Ye wanted to put all the credit on Ford and ignore Li Ming and others in Wu Yanqing's laboratory.

"Ha..." Duke Bai Ye said calmly: "I'm just trying to survive by borrowing the power of His Highness Ford."

"You!" Ren Cangsong glared angrily.

"Luochuan's attack did hurt Caroline." Ford added: "Li Ming also provided help to delay time."

Before Chen Jinglong arrived, Li Ming and Ford had reconciled their confessions.

In their script, Caroline was already seriously injured, failed to sacrifice to Istanbul, suffered another heavy blow, and lost all her strength.

Li Ming stalled for time, Ford assisted from the side, and Tate fought to the death, and then killed Caroline.

Ford also asked Li Ming how to explain the armor, and Li Ming told him not to worry about it, he would naturally have a way.

"His Royal Highness Fu De is kind and righteous, Luo Chuan and Li Ming naturally have to thank His Highness Fu De, and of course us. If not for him, we would have been doomed long ago."

Duke Bai Ye deliberately turned Li Ming and others into rescuers.

"Yes, of course I have to thank His Highness Ford this time." Li Ming stood up immediately and said with a solemn expression.

The corner of Ford's mouth twitched, "You're welcome. If you and I hadn't cooperated, it would have been very difficult to survive."

The atmosphere of brotherhood and respect between the two made several people present feel a little moved. They had just experienced a life and death crisis. Could it be that the two of them had turned enemies into friends?

"Your Highness, can you tell us more about the scene at that time? Why did the sacrifice to Istanbul fail?" Chen Jinglong asked about this matter again.

"I don't know the specific situation. I only heard Caroline screaming, as if something incomprehensible had happened. When the flames receded, she was already covered in blood."

"As for what happened inside, I'm afraid I have to ask Li Ming."

Everyone looked at Li Ming, and Duke Bai Ye said: "Chen Jinglong, the torch sacrifice failed. You seem to be very disappointed."

Chen Jinglong always looked calm: "If you fail, you have to know the reason. There is no guarantee that there won't be a next time. Only by finding a way to restrain yourself can you really feel at ease."

Li Ming pondered, "Actually, the sacrifice should have been successful. I felt that extremely vast existence, which is probably the so-called Istanbul."

"It's just that he doesn't seem to recognize me as a sacrifice."

Ford added: "The name Istanbul has never appeared before, and the torch must have been sacrificed for the first time. It must have been an accident."

is that so?

Chen Jinglong was thoughtful, vaguely feeling that Torch seemed to have encountered something strange.

The sacrifice of Thunder Holmz failed last time, and the sacrifice of Istanbul failed again this time. With the level of the torch, it shouldn't be like this.

Why?

Ren Cangsong's men hurriedly came to report, "We cleaned the laboratory and found that all the internal data had been cleared. The items cleared from the scene have been listed."

"Exactly what was lost still needs to be calculated later."

His words attracted everyone's attention, but many people were full of curiosity about Wu Yanqing's laboratory and cast vague glances.

Ren Cangsong looked down for a few times and threw the information on the table.

"Li Ming, look, what is missing?"

Li Ming looked hesitant, "I haven't been to that underground laboratory too much. You'd better ask Senior Brother Luo Chuan."

"Torch chose Wu Yanqing's underground laboratory as the place of sacrifice. What are they looking for?" Duke Bai Ye's voice was neither loud nor quiet, just enough for everyone to hear.

"Li Ming?" There was a hint of scrutiny in his words.

Li Ming ignored him, but looked at Ford, who cursed secretly, frowned and said: "This is Professor Wu Yanqing's matter, Your Excellency, it is better not to ask."

Duke Bai Ye didn't feel embarrassed and just smiled and nodded.

The experimental data was cleared by Li Ming, but Torch has already packaged a copy.

There was no important information in it. The only trouble was that Wu Yanqing said a few words when he found him, but he didn't name him.

As for the rest, only the theory of genetic homomorphic evolution is worthy of Li Ming's attention.

"Sanger, I want to posthumously award Tate the fifth-class Order of the Purple Rose." Ford said to the middle-aged man behind him.

"No problem. Tate died heroically and deserves this kind of honor." Sanger nodded, with no trace of sadness on his face, but a hint of excitement.

He was from Ford, so he naturally understood what it meant to kill a fireworks user under the leadership of Ford this time, and it was a life form with extremely special abilities like Caroline.

This is a great achievement, and the Prince of Baijan will definitely publicize it. Among the young people of the royal family, the originally unknown Ford will become famous.

…

At the same time, in another more high-end medical room, there was a jar of green liquid in the center, surrounded by a large number of screens monitoring data.

In the green liquid, Luo Chuan, who had turned into a human stick, suddenly opened his eyes. The severe pain provoked his nerves. The glass jar suddenly exploded, and the liquid quickly boiled. The medical staff couldn't help but scream.

"Luochuan, it's me, it's me..." Yuan Hong shouted from the side while comforting the panicked medical staff.

"Yuan Hong?" Luo Chuan was stunned and looked around in confusion, "Am I not dead? Wasn't I caught by the torch?"

"No, no, you are still alive." Yuan Hong complained: "This jar of highly soluble vitamin solution is worth hundreds of thousands, and it was wasted like this."

Yuan Hong couldn't help but feel distressed, and asked someone to lift Luochuan and put him back into the new jar.

The broken limbs were itching uncontrollably. Luo Chuan knew that this was re-growing. Then he looked around and said loudly: "Li Ming! Where is Li Ming?"

Yuan Hong said quickly: "He is fine too, better than you. He is being questioned now."

"He's okay..." Luo Chuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but ask: "Who saved us? Is the teacher back?"

"No..." Yuan Hong asked the medical staff to leave and explained in a low voice: "It's Ford..."

Luochuan's face showed an unbelievable look. Torch wanted to sacrifice Li Ming and then destroy the entire Jingnan Star?

Luochuan's throat rolled, and he suddenly remembered that Li Ming threatened Caroline to let her go by committing suicide. So that's it...

"Li Ming..." Luochuan's face was tense.

When he heard that it was Tate, a subordinate of Ford, who killed Caroline, he couldn't believe it.

"Caroline is a B-level life form!" Luochuan couldn't help but say.

"Yes..." Yuan Hong nodded, "However, it is said that the sacrifice failed, resulting in another backlash, and the strength was seriously damaged."

"After all, he is the son of Prince Baijan, and he still remained calm in the face of danger." Yuan Hong couldn't help sighing, and Luochuan was about to speak but stopped.

He had faced Caroline before and knew how terrible she was. That was a completely different level. Even if the injury was serious, it shouldn't be ended by Tate.

Moreover, when Caroline brought Li Ming and Ford back, she didn't see Tate at all. He intuitively felt that there was something strange about it.

Yuan Hong added: "I heard that Li Ming also assisted, but the credit must go to Ford, and at most he gave a few words of encouragement."

"You haven't seen Caroline's body yet. Half of her genes were released, and she was directly killed. It is said that Tate burned his life potential to do it."

Yuan Hong sighed: "You didn't see it. The power almost split half of the island."

Luo Chuan forced a smile. There must be something wrong here.

"By the way, the underground laboratory." He couldn't help but said.

"Alas." Yuan Hong sighed, "I was just about to tell you that the underground laboratory was severely damaged, and a lot of things were lost, and the experimental data were also cleared."

"We want you to see what was lost."

He took a piece of information. Luo Chuan wanted to reach out, but he had no choice but to let Yuan Hong look it over for him.

After looking at it for a while, he sighed: "Three or four things were lost. How should I explain to the teacher?"

"It's not your fault. What are they specifically?" Yuan Hong asked.

Luo Chuan's eyes flashed, "I just saw a few of them, I don't know what they are."

Yuan Hong pointed at him and smiled, "Old Luo, you are still so careful."

Luo Chuan did not respond, but asked, "How many people escaped, have you found them?"

Since something is lost, someone must have escaped.

"No, according to the oral statements of His Highness Ford and Li Ming, some members of the Torch Organization did escape."

Yuan Hong said, "The top leaders have checked all the surveillance videos and found no trace of them, but the Starport has been blocked and they can't run away."

Luo Chuan frowned slightly. Since it was the confession of Ford and Li Ming, there should be no problem.
