Andromeda's Emergency Launch

"More to the left! A little more! Careful!"

"Yes, yes! Good, lower it!"

Above the Antarctic Shelter on Blue Star, four construction ships hovered in midair under the protection of several destroyers. Four cables as thick as waists dangled from the construction ships' mechanical arms and disappeared into the water.

Several Splitters stood inside the mechanical arm control cabin protruding from one construction ship, directing the other three ships to rotate their mechanical arms so that the suction devices at the ends of the cables could accurately latch onto the container that was about to be retrieved.

When night fell, dozens of searchlights illuminated the waters as bright as day.

With the threat of war gone, the shelter had long since been completely sealed off by the Titan Group due to its exorbitant maintenance costs and its total lack of necessity.

Deprived of maintenance, the underwater shelter had deteriorated beyond recognition after decades of corrosion. Vast sections had been flooded by the encroaching seawater.

Of course, that was merely the explanation the Titan Group had released to the public. In truth, Tang Shizhe had deliberately abandoned this underground shelter, which was comparable in scale to a city.

No one would likely have imagined that beneath the ruins of such a site lay Tang Shizhe's means of preserving his life!

Back when he had been avoiding the war, Tang Shizhe had buried a Brood Mother Splitter beneath this shelter. Now, he was going to send this Brood Mother Splitter aboard the Andromeda!

"Excellent! All magnetic locks have been released! Begin lifting!" Along with the Splitters' shouts, a muffled roar like that of a giant beast rose from the depths of the ocean. A massive cube over a hundred meters in length, width, and height was slowly lifted from beneath the water
