" Li Zhixiong, return to the Secondary Universe and secretly inform Minister Luo of this matter. Remember, no one except Minister Luo can know. Chen Peng, you will personally lead a fleet of Slaughterer. Combine this with our reconnaissance equipment in the galaxy to find the fleet that kidnapped the General. The Expeller are too large a target; every single one is being monitored by these civilizations. No matter what, we must find the General. I will continue to monitor things here. We must be prepared for any contingencies."
"Okay, sure."
"Okay, let's split up and get going."
Li Zhixiong and Chen Peng quietly left. Gao Jianchuan immediately sent a message to the pursuing Expeller, instructing Expeller to release their miniature ships to continue the pursuit. In reality, whether they pursued or not was no longer of much significance, as the Expeller had already lost information about the fleet.
After releasing the miniature spaceships, the Expeller quickly caught up with the Sunfire Fleet. Gao Jianchuan also gained temporary control of the Blazing Sun Battleship. He immediately arranged for the fleet to return to port normally, creating the impression that nothing had happened. After arranging everything, Gao Jianchuan went into his lounge.
In the lounge, Hu Yu was leisurely sipping his wine, while Gao Jianchuan, who had been tense, sat down with a grin and poured himself a glass.
"General, this trick of deceiving the enemy is a bit too much. You've fooled everyone in the entire galaxy, and now you're going to try and fool Minister Luo too. If Minister Luo comes after me, you'll have to help me hold him off."
"Your acting is also quite good."
"Well, General, what did you see?"
"I could have seen it before, but then suddenly someone intervened and intercepted me halfway. The four-dimensional communication was also cut off, so now I can't see or hear anything."
"Robbery on the road? Double-crossing? Who could it be?"
"I don't know. I've never seen this fleet before; they've deliberately concealed their identities."
"What do we do now? Has this entire operation been a waste?"
"That's not the case. My fate is currently uncertain, but it's certain that the forces that abducted me and those that attacked me are not from the same group. Let's wait patiently. The first civilization to come looking for me is very likely to be the mastermind behind it all."
"That makes sense. They're eager to verify if you're really dead, so they'll definitely find all sorts of reasons to talk to you. But they didn't expect that the body Academician Xiao created for you mimics your Consciousness Field. I can't tell the difference. To be honest, General, I'm not even sure if this is really you now."
"This is far more advanced than the Si Luo infiltrated into the Wind Star Civilization back then. The one back then was just a fake shell, but this one even has Consciousness Field, enough to fool anyone. Now let's wait patiently. I want to see who leaked our base information with the Dark Moon Civilization. This traitor must be found."
"What about that body?"
" The Consciousness Field will persist for a period of time until the body's energy is exhausted. It has completed its mission and is no longer of any significance. It's just a pity that this operation was not completely successful."
"Nothing ever goes smoothly. If everything had gone according to plan, none of this mess would have happened. But why did this force abduct you? What are their motives? Is it another force that wants to kill you?"
"I think it's more likely they want to rescue me. If they wanted me dead, they wouldn't need to lift a finger; I've already been pulled out of the hatch by the mechanical beings, and my life is entirely in their hands."
"Who can save you, the galactic civilization? I really can't understand it."
"You'll find out later. Tell Chen Peng that if you can't catch up, don't bother. Just put on a show and fool the forces we're looking for. You decide what to say. Until things are clear, continue to keep it a secret."
Within the Yun San Civilization Base.
"Sir, the operation may have failed."
What happened?
"As planned, we successfully lured the Insect Emperor. Just as our mechanical beings opened the human warship to bring back Hu Yu's body, a mysterious fleet appeared. This fleet seemed to be even stronger than ours. They dispersed the mechanical beings and successfully abducted Hu Yu."
"A mysterious fleet?"
"Humanity's helpers keep emerging one after another, which isn't surprising. Hu Yu was attacked by the Insect Emperor's consciousness, but I now doubt that Hu Yu could have died, because the people on the planet I secretly detained were resurrected after being attacked by the Insect Emperor's consciousness, which is very strange."
"Oh, that's what you're worried about. Well, your worries are unnecessary. Although Hu Yu and the people on the planet you imprisoned are both human, they are very different. If Hu Yu is attacked by the Insect Emperor, even if he doesn't die, it will be extremely difficult for him to be resurrected."
"Our galactic fleet has detected that two small fleets have just secretly left. One is heading towards the Secondary Universe, possibly to deliver a message, and the other is heading in the direction where Hu Yu was abducted, possibly to intercept him. All other warships have returned. Humanity is trying to conceal the news of Hu Yu's attack."
"To be on the safe side, you should continue to observe humanity. Make sure you are 100% certain that Hu Yu is dead. Once Hu Yu is dead, humanity will definitely be in chaos for a short time. At that time, find a way to annihilate humanity in one fell swoop. It would be best to get the Demon Scorpion Civilization to take action and weaken their strength. Then you can raise your voices and, under the banner of upholding justice, kill the Demon Scorpion Civilization. In this way, the entire galaxy's civilizations will respect you."
"That Demon Scorpion is a tough opponent. They only act when it benefits them. Last time, their mechanical fleet suffered losses, and they're still demanding compensation from me. They're completely ruthless and selfish. If we want them to be the main force attacking humanity, we'll have to offer them enough benefits. In that case, let the Mechanical Civilization handle it, with Demon Scorpion as a support. With the Mechanical Civilization involved, eliminating Demon Scorpion will be easy."
"These are all things for later. It's not advisable for me to make a move right now; revealing my plans too early would be very detrimental to them."
"Rest assured, sir, I will take care of everything for you. By the way, sir, how is the progress on the data analysis of the Fish Horse Star Civilization civilization that you mentioned last time? Do you need to send more scientists?"
"There's been some progress, but it will still take some time. However, the parts that have been deciphered have already been a great help to me. If it's all deciphered, I might not need that fortress anymore. Sending more scientists won't be necessary for now; relying on sheer numbers to decipher it is useless."
"Yes, sir."
Chen Peng led the Slaughterer Fleet relentlessly towards the airspace marked by the miniature spaceship. The miniature spaceship had long since lost track of the fleet. Chen Peng was extremely anxious. Hu Yu's life or death not only concerned the entire human society but also affected the war situation in the entire galaxy. Chen Peng began to blame himself for not stopping Hu Yu in the first place and instead letting him act alone.
