Persecution

On the other side of the Starshine World, a person wearing a hoodie and carrying a black backpack walks through the wilderness.

"What a damn bastard!" The man pulled down his hood, looked at the horizon opposite, and cursed at someone. On the other side, a large group of "humans" in tattered clothes were howling and charging towards them.

These "humans" were deathly pale, and beneath their pale skin, numerous worms could be seen wriggling. These people were part of the Blood Calamity, the hosts of the Bloodworm.

The host organisms possess extremely tenacious vitality. Even if most of their bodies are blasted away, leaving only an arm, the Bloodworm within that arm will devour anything they can. They will even eat dirt to regenerate the host organism. The only way to kill them is to kill all the worms.

"So much! I'm afraid it'll upset your stomach." The man in the hoodie sighed, but still opened the backpack behind him, took out a napkin and a knife and fork, and said to the rushing Bloodworm host, "Well then, you're today's food. Thank you for the treat."

A few hours later, the wilderness was still the same wilderness. The man in the hoodie put down his knife and fork, washed them with water, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and then let out a burp. "The meat was chewy enough, but most of it was uneven. It must be because it constantly absorbs various things to regenerate. Some parts have been there for decades, while others have only been there for a few days. Overall, the taste was terrible. Thumbs down."

"The blood is mixed with a lot of other ingredients. It tastes good, but the composition is too complex and the combination is unreasonable, resulting in a significant amount of toxins and destroying its nutritional value. Thumbs down."

"The internal organs were very loose due to the presence of a large number of Bloodworm. They melted in the mouth, but they were all mixed together and not clearly organized. In addition, a lot of blood had seeped into them. This is a very bad review."

"The bones were crunchy because of the Bloodworm crawling on them, and the combination of the Bloodworm's juices made for a good taste and texture, which was the only highlight."

"Overall, it had some highlights, but it was still a failed dish." The man in the hoodie put away his cutlery, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and continued walking in the wilderness. He then began to curse again, probably because for the next period of time, his meals would consist of the same food as today.

"Hopefully, I'll encounter some Bloodworm hosts belonging to superpowered individuals. That way, the Blood Calamity dish might taste a bit better." The hoodie-clad youth sighed. "God, another Star Calamity, please! If all else fails, those Interceptors would be fine too. Let me change the recipe."

Lu Li glanced at the information Aurora had sent him. Theseus had teleported eight people to the Starshine World, but due to interference with the teleportation, their destinations were uncertain.

Lu Li encountered members of the Transmigrators' Alliance and entered the Gale Society. Aurora, Mei Juansu Bai Shang quickly arrived at the headquarters of Theseus, the Theseus's Ship. A person codenamed "Wuyi" joined a large illegal organization, while another person called the Diner went to the Blood Calamity disaster-stricken area to curb the Blood Calamity.

Aside from these five people who had contacted Theseus, the other three had all lost contact. It was determined that their location had been pinpointed by the hidden enemy, who then sent men to ambush and kill them, leaving them dead in some corner.

"Looks like I should speed up too." Lu Li patted his head, and his body suddenly exploded, transforming into a flurry of crow feathers. A white Arc Light of light instantly appeared where Lu Li had been standing.

A Lu Li figure appeared on the lab table. Looking at the suddenly appearing Mori, he smiled and said, "Where's Zeng Yunge? If he wanted to kill me, why didn't he do it himself instead of sending you, his defeated opponent?"

"You still love to talk big, but no matter what, you're going to die here today." One of Mori's hands was completely mechanized, with energy blades crisscrossing on it, and countless Arc Light appeared throughout the space.

"Still using the same trick? Are you sure the person I am now is the real me?" Lu Li said with a faint smile, "Zeng Yunge, I still have leverage over you. Aren't you afraid I'll expose your secrets if you're so eager to kill me?"

Ignoring everything else, Mori moved in an Arc Light, easily tearing Lu Li's body to shreds. But the next moment, Lu Li's voice still rang out in the room. "Tell him to leave now, and we can still talk. Otherwise, I'll expose your use of refugees as test subjects, and your heroic career, and the Gale Society you founded, will all be over."

"Have you said enough?" Mori reappeared and sneered, "Are you sure your backup plan is still useful?"

Lu Li, who was hiding in the shadows, suddenly changed his expression. The ceiling suddenly cracked open, and a muscular man descended from the sky, hitting Lu Li's hiding place. An invisible force field swept through the room, directly forcing Lu Li's true form out.

"Guan Hongge? I think you must know that back then, most of the people in Gale Nine Songs died because Zeng Yunge framed Zhang Yanqige. Why are you still working for them? Why don't you and I join forces to overthrow Zeng Yunge? Without your power, Zeng Yunge won't be much stronger."

"Even on the verge of death, he's still delusional." Guan Hongge's muscles bulged, and even his hair stood on end, giving him a powerful aura.

Lu Li's eyes widened because when Guan Hongge spoke, the voice that came out was actually Zeng Yunge's. The muscular man's whole body was permeated with white mist, but only his right hand did not emit any white mist.

"So that's how it is! Your ability isn't just the White Vapor Hand, but the White Vapor Clone!! Guan Hongge is long dead!" Lu Li said in disbelief.

"You're wrong about one thing, but I'm not going to tell you!" Amidst the billowing white mist, Guan Hongge's body swelled up again with his right hand, and his left hand slammed down on Lu Li. The terrifying force created a frenzied airflow, and the air was punched into transparent fists that struck Lu Li's body.

His back slammed against the laboratory wall, crashing through it and falling onto the open ground outside. A shadow blocked out all the light, Guan Hongge's massive body appeared before Lu Li, his enormous hand grabbing Lu Li's neck.

"Aren't you afraid the secret will be exposed?" Lu Li asked with difficulty.

"You really think you can operate under my nose? That Li Fei is from the Windless Organization. You're in contact with them, do you think I don't know?" Guan Hongge said with a sneer, "All the information you pass on requires my permission to leave. You think you've passed on evidence, but that's just a facade."

"Also, thank you. We've obtained information about the Windless Organization from the opposite direction. Tonight's strike will definitely be a great success." Guan Hongge finished speaking, he stopped wasting words, directly snapped Lu Li's neck, and slammed him to the ground, turning him into a pile of minced meat.
