A piercing alarm sounded, and Xiao Tong stared at the large screen, which showed that electronic signals throughout the central desert were being interfered with to varying degrees.

"The beast tide has reached a boiling point!"

The boiling of the beast tide is a sign that the beast tide has entered its peak period. Generally speaking, this will lead to two consequences: either the genetic territory of the Class A radiated beasts expands and the beast tide becomes even more rampant, or the beast tide is stopped and the mutated energy dissipates.

"It's more than half a month earlier than expected," a staff officer from the security regiment said somewhat uneasily.

"Get those five to me. If the beast tide spreads further, it won't just be a problem for the central desert alone."

One of the Legion hackers nodded, and his helmet-like network access bay began to beep.

For simulated signals, the human brain is their base station; the more human brains there are, the faster the signal will propagate.

This is also the only propagation method that can overcome radiation interference.

Soon, the virtual meeting went online again, but to Xiao Tong's surprise, only Major General Matsumoto from Honshu Island was online.

"What about the other four?"

"Zhang Hai from the east was patrolling the near seas and has not returned. The remaining three have gone to the Sky Carrier."

"Helicarrier, the Vice Admiral is back?" Xiao Tong was surprised at first, but then his expression immediately stiffened as he guessed what they had been up to.

He suppressed his anger and said, "Why weren't I notified? In the absence of the Lieutenant General, aren't all decisions made by the security forces subject to a vote by the six Major Generals?"

Old man Matsumoto remained calm. "They just felt it might not pass, so they bypassed you and went directly to the lieutenant general to apply."

"Then what are you doing here?"

"I voted against the nuclear strike."

Xiao Tong crossed his arms, his expression extremely grim. After a long while, he coldly said, "Since they don't follow the rules, then don't blame us for not following them either. Mr. Matsumoto, can your elite troops come to fight in our central desert?"

Major General Matsumoto narrowed his eyes. "That's hard to say. An old man like me who's about to die can't compare to the wealth and power of your Xiao family."

Inside the Sky Battleship, a security force aircraft was entering the "cabin" through a hole and, with the help of magnetic levitation technology, hovered above a bomber.

This magnetic levitation design can effectively save space.

Although on the surface, the security force's sky warships are just sky versions of luxury yachts, where countless upper-class people indulge in extravagance and debauchery.

But only those within the security force knew just how terrifying this weapon of mass destruction was.

At a glance, there are more than three hundred of these advanced combat aircraft.

Major General Gram (Gene), Major General Zhang Feng (Battle Knife), and Major General Freya (Female) descended the stairs and, led by a staff member, entered the levitation tunnel. Their bodies hovered in the tunnel and moved at high speed. This was a gravity technology used in space travel, but it was used here purely for convenience.

Soon, the three were led into a magnificent hall and met the lieutenant general in person.

It was a blue-skinned human nearly three meters tall with purple pupils, and energy points constantly emanating from its skin, creating ripples.

At this moment, "he" was wearing a gorgeous bathrobe and playing with a little girl of the same skin color.

"I have met the Lord of the Sky, the manager of the asteroid belt, the owner of a superior bloodline, the alien bloodline Frasso."

The three major generals knelt on one knee at the same time, their expressions devout.

"The three of you, what is the purpose of your visit?" Frasso's voice was very pleasant, sounding like some kind of music being played.

"The beast tide is rampant in the central region. In order to maintain the rule of the Security Legion, please activate the Scorched Earth Plan."

"Overrunning? That's not how Xiao Tong reported it to me."

"Major General Xiao Tong has been covering up the true situation of the beast tide for his own benefit. In fact, since the death of Demon Mountain, the beast tide has become uncontrollable," Gram said in a deep voice.

The alien-blooded Frasso remained silent, his purple pupils sweeping over the three men, his gaze seemingly piercing their hearts. The three men felt a chill run down their spines and became even more respectful.

In the mechanical age, there are no ethics or morality; power and progress are the only standards.

In their eyes, Frasso, who had been implanted with alien blood, was power itself.

Frasso patted the little girl on the head, and the little girl obediently went out. When she passed Freya, she glanced at her curiously.

Out of the corner of Freya's eye, she noticed a maturity beyond her years on the little girl's face, and a hint of worry seemed to flash in her eyes.

"I'm afraid I can't help you with this."

"Why?" Zhang Feng blurted out.

Frasso changed his posture, pulling his hand out of his sleeve. His six fingers were all the same length. He gently touched the air with his first finger, and powerful spiritual energy condensed into a document, exactly the same as the one in Du Zhaodi's hand.

"Even I have no choice but to accept the highest order from the Machinery Committee."

"Zhao Xie, hurry up and move these materials to the warehouse!"

With an impatient voice, Zhao Xie, covered in dust, raised his head from the machine.

"But I haven't finished my work here yet."

"Just do what I tell you to do, stop talking nonsense!"

Zhao Xie fell silent, then, amidst the mocking gazes of the group, picked up the bottles and jars and walked towards the warehouse.

"Is he the new manager?"

"What new manager? He's already been fired."

"Oh, it's him."

It's true that fortunes change. Back when he was under Gavial's command, he was so powerful. Even after Gavial's defection, the Mountain still valued him highly and obtained a large amount of biological experimental materials for him.

However, in the end, people have to let their abilities speak for themselves.

The frontline bio-warriors lost control at the most critical moment, and the biosynthesis plant in the rear was destroyed by the enemy.

Even he was stunned and his head was filled with stars after being hit by two pot lids.

He was swiftly and decisively stripped of his title.

What's even more terrifying is that the person he had always despised, the senior engineer who was good for nothing but bragging, actually rose to become the new supreme military commander.

Somehow, their childhood feud was brought up again.

Therefore, Zhao Xie had no choice but to return to his old profession and become a glorious and sacred porter.

"I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled!"

Only when no one is around can Zhao Xie release his emotions. At this moment, deep in the warehouse, Zhao Xie's hands are clenched tightly, his face full of ferocity and hatred.

Besides the senior engineer, another person he hated was Du Zhaodi.

If she had been with me, I wouldn't have ended up in this state!

It's all because of that woman!!

Just then, his battlefield communicator rang. Since his fall from power, no one had contacted him for a long time.

Pressing the enhanced "battlefield communication phone" brought up a familiar voice.

"You've been having a rough time lately, Manager Zhao."

The familiar voice startled Zhao Xie. After a long pause, he hesitated before asking, "General Geville?"

"I'm no longer a general, and I doubt the security force would retain the rank of a traitor."

Zhao Xie quickly calmed down and said, "You have informants in the security force, are you spying on me!?"

"We can use a different word, for example, 'invitation.' I invite you to join me in a great undertaking."

Betrayal of the security force?

Zhao Xie pondered the gains and losses in his heart. To be honest, he did not want to betray the official forces unless absolutely necessary.

But when he thought about his current predicament, he hesitated again.

"Manager Zhao, don't forget how you got the biological data in the first place. What, do you still think the other side will let you go? It's just that the war is urgent right now and he can't spare the time. Once he remembers you, guess what he'll do?" Geville laughed.

The other party's words finally made Zhao Xie make up his mind.

"So, what do I need to do for this great cause?"

One after another, large robots emerged from the car city. These enormous machines, three stories high, were covered in scratches and bullet holes. Their weapons were also stained with blood, and between the gears, a thin layer of minced flesh was wrapped around them.

What do you think?

Kep hovered in mid-air, watching the large, moving combat robots.

The Mountain's choice of a large-scale army tactic was not without reason; only a large army with heavy firepower could withstand the almost endless onslaught of beasts.

The senior engineer's approach was unheard of and unseen before.

Moreover, and most importantly, once the beast tide is launched, all electronic components will malfunction. Although the simulation device is not a communication device, it is still composed of a large number of electronic components.

Gao Shu remained silent for a moment, then said, "Since he's doing this, he must have his reasons. Let's just wait and see."

Iron Madman snorted coldly and flew directly onto the shoulder of a large combat robot, clearly not intending to say a word.

Kep shook his head and sighed, then mingled into the mechanical beast force.

The battlefield was no longer a single place, but was divided into pieces, and the two were heading in different directions.

After the two left, Gao Shu turned on his battlefield communicator and whispered, "Advisor, they're all gone."

The senior engineer's voice came through the communicator. "Since they are willing to fight against the beast tide with us, that's enough."

"I will make sure the Mountain's men stay on the battlefield."

"Okay, thank you for your help."

After hanging up the communicator, Gao Shu's bio-armor gradually melted, turning into a transparent liquid, and finally his entire body disappeared.

Loyalty is a good quality, but good and scarce are generally equated.

Gao Gong wasn't too surprised by Gao Shu's defection. After all, secret service leaders like him were the easiest to befriend and the easiest to betray.

Besides, we all share the surname Gao, so we're naturally one family.

He was playing with a mass of 'liquid', which was very similar to the bio-armor, except that it was not a solid color. It was turbid yet clean, and within the clean were countless tiny particles, like pus produced by necrotic tissue.
