Chapter 1150: Ash Gu Fleet
Once he felt the urgency, Gao Gong moved even faster.
After briefly handling the faction affairs left over from the past year, he rushed without stopping to the interior of a sealed tree zone within the Planetary Tree.
Even most of the faction's upper echelons had no idea that such a place existed.
The trees that blotted out the sky pierced directly into the atmosphere to extract the planet's energy. At least ten "Crystal Core Lands" were dedicated to providing reserve energy.
These trees were the result of grafting branches from the Planetary Tree, equivalent to smaller versions of it.
Moreover, the "top-grade crystal cores" produced in the high-level energy synthesis factory had been transferred into these enormous clusters of tree knots.
Some of these "tree knots" were as large as mountains, while others were tree-patterned bulges as large as millstones. Most were all kinds of strange shapes, resembling components, embedded throughout the tree's body. Across the tree's tens of thousands of meters, these "component tree knots" could be seen everywhere. The more precise the "components," the more biological they appeared.
They were no longer made of branch material, but of some kind of biological material. Some components even displayed an obvious tendency toward ossification.
Huang Yuanli was not surprised by Gao Gong's arrival. She merely complained,
"You scumbag. After getting me pregnant, you patted your ass and left. You were gone for an entire year. Do you know how hard it was for me to give birth to all this? It wasn't just my belly—my brain almost wasn't enough, either."
Gao Gong was speechless.
"Please don't say things that could be so easily misunderstood. Otherwise, when Director Du comes back, she'll chop me to death first, then hack you apart. No, that's not right.
