573: Chapter Conversation

"No need to tell me about such trivial matters; it's just cleaning up some disgusting maggots."

Chi Zheng, who was in a state of ecstasy, was interrupted by Allenby, and his mood suddenly soured.

"Apologies, Boss," Allenby said indifferently, then listed the data obtained by the Chicheng Mobile Squad.

"Boss, those poor devils from the Lower City District didn't actually get seven kilograms of enriched uranium."

"It was seventy kilograms."

"?" Chi Zheng froze the moment he heard that number. He couldn't care less about indulging in Chen Heng's power anymore and quickly picked up the report.

"Seventy kilograms? Have these poor devils gone mad?"

"Once it detonates, it won't just be the Upper City District affected; their Lower City District will be even worse off."

"Where did they get the Materials? They couldn't possibly obtain such a large quantity..."

Putting down the report, Chi Zheng began to pace back and forth in the office.

"I know, it must be those damned rebels..."

"Their target isn't the Upper City District; it should be the Data-Driven Soul Center."

Chi Zheng gritted his teeth. On this planet, the only force that could contend with the Red Dragon Company was the rebels.

Though he said 'contend', the rebels were actually incapable of causing substantial harm to the Red Dragon Company.

They didn't have identification chips in their bodies, so entering Red City was a pipe dream.

But they could use those poor devils from the Lower City District to deal with the Red Dragon Company.

Those poor devils had nothing; the only things of value they possessed were their cheap lives and identification chips.

Although seventy kilograms of enriched uranium couldn't eliminate the Red Dragon Company, it would still cause Chi Zheng pain.

Especially those Data-Driven Souls; this was a major matter concerning Chi Zheng's immortality.

"No need to wait. Act immediately. I want those poor devils to be annihilated without a trace."

Chi Zheng's face was ferocious. The Data-Driven Soul was a three-hundred-year plan for their Red Dragon Company, involving countless efforts. They absolutely could not be allowed to succeed.

"After dealing with those poor devils, immediately clear out those rebel scum in the Wasteland District."

"I want them to know the price of daring to threaten me!"

"Understood, Boss," Allenby nodded, left the report, and exited the office.

"If, if I could possess the power of that giant, there would be no existence in this Universe that could resist me..."

A crazy plan appeared in his mind.

Chi Zheng wasn't eyeing Chen Heng himself, but rather the residual tissues left behind when the giant fought.

"Genetic engineering, huh? It's time to restart..."

Meanwhile, on the vermilion bird ship outside the atmosphere.

number eight had finished parsing the Free Zone's common language and could now communicate normally with Avatar.

"What's your name?" Chen Heng sat opposite Avatar, looking at the blue-skinned monkey in front of him.

This monkey should be female. After Chen Heng tore off all her armor, he saw three pairs, or six, breasts.

However, they weren't large, and they suited the blue-skinned monkey's physique quite well.

"My name is Aiseya · Liemuke · Weisi · Beixiuen · ... · Delinkewosen."

"..." Chen Heng fell into thought, listening to the three-hundred-character-long name.

"Forget it, I'll just call you Aiseya."

"Yes, my friends and family all call me Aiseya." Aiseya nodded, surprised that Chen Heng could guess her nickname.

"I heard you just now, you were carrying that stick and wanted to 'do' me, right?"

Chen Heng glanced at Luo Shuo, who was playing with a photon blade, then turned and asked.

"Yes, because I intended to buy time for the hunting fleet to warp space." Aiseya didn't hide anything, because she knew the consequences of deceiving Chen Heng.

Even though this Overlord in front of her seemed to act thoughtlessly, every Overlord was a Genius.

Whether in Aptitude or intelligence, someone like her couldn't possibly fool him.

Speaking the truth was the best option.

"And then, what are you doing in this place?"

Chen Heng was actually a bit surprised that Aiseya intended to kill him with that tickle-like attack.

Isn't that ridiculous?

"Our target was actually that Star-level Star Beast." Aiseya explained her purpose for coming to the Dark Zone.

There were no omissions from beginning to end.

"A Star-level Star Beast, that big whale?" Chen Heng finally realized why their fleet had surrounded him and why they had sprayed him with those beams.

"Yes, the Star Core of a Star Beast contains incredibly vast energy, equivalent to the energy of a Galaxy-level Overlord."

"Our Galaxy-level Overlord of the Dark Spirit Galaxy was severely injured and needed this Star Core to heal his wounds."

After knowing that Chen Heng could communicate, Aiseya no longer held any hostility and spoke with a very respectful attitude.

"But now it's all too late. Star-level Star Beasts are very rare creatures in the Universe, and finding a second one is extremely difficult."

"It would take at least three to five years to find traces of the next Star-level Star Beast."

"Including searching, hunting, and dissecting, it would take at least fifteen years to complete the hunt for a Star-level Star Beast."

"Is that thing really that fierce?" Chen Heng rubbed his chin. He felt that the big guy wasn't particularly powerful, aside from being quite resistant to damage.

"Yes, Star-level Star Beasts possess terrifying physical strength."

Aiseya didn't find it strange that Chen Heng said such a thing, after all, the Planet-level Overlord of the Devourer Planet was one of the banes of Star Beasts.

"Every single one of their cells contains terrifying nuclear energy, and their skin is even more robust and flexible than warship armor."

"Pure physical attacks are very difficult to harm a Star Beast; only continuous, relentless attacks might be able to kill a Star Beast."

"This hunting operation lasted a long time, and that's how we severely injured the Star Beast and drove it into the Dark Zone."

"You mean, I just got lucky?" Chen Heng raised an eyebrow. He wondered if he was ever this lucky.

"I didn't mean to offend you, but that Star Beast had already fully recovered from its injuries after devouring a certain amount of stars."

Seeing that Chen Heng's tone was a bit off, Aiseya immediately explained.

"You killed it with your own powerful strength; we were the ones who interfered."

"..." This Aiseya was too honest; Chen Heng found it hard to find fault.

"So, since you're so honest coming back with me, you must have something else you want to say, right?"

Chen Heng leaned back in his chair, waiting for Aiseya to state her true purpose.

"Yes, your eyes are like photon annihilation beams, capable of seeing through all lies."

Aiseya's heart tightened. She knew that the friendly conversation was over; this was the real confrontation.

One couldn't help but admire Aiseya's ability to overthink. Chen Heng actually didn't care about Aiseya's purpose; he was just curious.

"I hope you can help the Dark Spirit Galaxy. We can pay any price."

"Help you? How can I help?"

Chen Heng was a bit confused. He didn't even know what it was like outside the Dark Zone; how could he help?

"Moreover, why should I help you? The things you can offer are nothing to me."

"Do you think what you offer can pique my interest?"

"My only interest is your Dark Spirit Galaxy."
