After being fed to top-tier orcs, I became the darling of the entire intergalactic world.

Chapter 233 A chilling thought, an even deeper one.

What Huo An said might sound a bit cold, but it was the truth.

From the perspective of those in power, the missing guard members were all ordinary humans, and what interstellar society has in abundance is people.

Compared to lives that may have already passed away, Liang He's existence is clearly more valuable.

"But they are all my brothers!"

Oko was probably the person closest to the missing team members, and he was very indignant when he heard what Huoan said.

"For the sake of your brothers, do you think it's possible to risk all the SSS-level orcs of the Federation?"

As everyone knows, Liang He is now practically on par with an SSS-level orc.

She was even more important than all the SSS-level orcs combined.

"I'm sure Deputy District Chief Goring is well aware of the problem with the evolved orcs; it's something the Federation has always been concerned about and troubled by."

Before Liang He appeared, many evolved beastmen died tragically because they refused to be fed or helped by humans.

Each SSS-level orc represents an absolute power that is unmatched by other orcs, let alone ordinary humans.

"The more orcs the Federation has to survive the evolutionary period, the more ordinary people it can save in the future."

When faced with the choice between saving one person and saving all living beings, the scales in one's heart will often tip in favor of the other.

After all, only the orcs could fight against the ferocious beast army created by the rebels, and even the Federation army had to become a logistics force.

“But Liang He taught us the method to subdue the ferocious beasts before, and we tried it. It worked very well. We don’t necessarily have to rely on beastmen.”

Leila was somewhat unconvinced.

In the past, whenever they fought against ferocious beasts, they would become mere background figures, while the battlefield became a stage for the orcs to show off their strength.

It's a bit unfair to say this, because the orcs are also fighting for their lives, but Lyra is in a lot of pain.

“District Chief Huo, you should understand that the vast majority of people in this world are ordinary people. If we don’t care about their lives, what’s the point of the orcs’ existence?”

The existence of ordinary humans is what makes orcs stand out.

But if all humans were to die out, the orcs' distinction would become just another face in the crowd.

“I’m not saying they’re not important, but from any perspective, that shouldn’t be Liang He’s responsibility.”

She was just a caretaker; in front of her should have been him, the Federation Army, and the entire Federation as a shield.

Instead of letting her rush forward alone when danger arises, and placing all hopes on her.

"I think... I understand what you mean."

Oko understood that Huo An wasn't truly indifferent to the missing people; he simply didn't want Liang He to be in danger because of them.

He also understood that Huo An was standing up for Liang He. These things that shouldn't have been on her shoulders had now been forcibly dragged into her because of their incompetence.

"District Chief Huo, rest assured, regardless of whether Liang He was ultimately helpful or not, we are grateful to her from the bottom of our hearts."

Goring, who had been silent all along, finally understood Hoan's concerns.

He exchanged glances with Leila and Oko, and then made a solemn promise to him.

"If it doesn't work out, I'll only tell others that Liang He came here for an exchange and learning, and I won't mention anything else."

Even if she ultimately achieves nothing, no one will blame Liang He, question her abilities, or even spread the news, causing her any harm.

"Whether it succeeds or not, I hope Liang He can remain out of the public eye in this matter."

Actually, what Huo An cared about more was the rebels.

Liang He was already being targeted by the rebels, who were determined to take him.

"You are suspicious..."

Upon hearing this, Leila hesitantly voiced her guess.
"This strange sea area might be related to the rebels?"

Upon hearing the words "rebel army," Oko and Goring immediately widened their eyes and stared blankly at Hoan.

"How did this get involved with the rebels?" Goring was a little confused. What did this have to do with anything? How did they even connect it to the rebels?
"Haven't you realized yet?"

Feeling the intense curiosity in the two pairs of eyes, Huo An shook his head helplessly.

"From the moment District Chief Polu disappeared until what happened afterward, don't you think it's all too coincidental?"

In Huo An's mind, every coincidence must be premeditated.

Now that it has been confirmed that the strange sea incident was not a natural disaster, it must be a man-made one.

As for man-made disasters, the only enemy Huo An could think of was the rebel army.

"But why would the rebels suddenly target Skalan?"

Skalan is an ocean planet, and its inhabitants are mostly marine creatures. Even if the rebels were to create an army of ferocious beasts, they would probably prefer to use land or flying animals, right?

"Perhaps their goal is not just to create ferocious beasts."

Lyra followed Hoan's line of thought and continued to delve deeper.

They discovered that they had all overlooked something.

"It is currently known that the waters in that area can affect a person's mind, and even allow submarines to penetrate deep into them without being noticed. Perhaps 'people' are the real target."

No, it should be said that both humans and orcs are targets.

"According to our speculation, if Liang He can indeed communicate with animals and get them to help explore that sea area, it means that animals can go deep into it."

This leads to two associations.

Firstly, the animals are unaffected and can freely enter and exit that sea area, so the other party's target may not be the animals.

Secondly, the animals are easier to control. Like a gaping maw in an abyss, it only needs to wait for the unsuspecting animals to approach before it can be swallowed whole without much effort.

"So, according to you, the rebels are trying to take everything?"

Whether they are animals, ordinary people, or beastmen, they welcome anyone who enters the eerie sea.
"No, I always feel there's another reason behind it."

Leila frowned, an idea flashed through her mind, but she couldn't grasp it, and when she tried to think about it again, she couldn't remember it.

"It's Liang He."

When Hoan suddenly spoke, Leila instantly realized what was going on.

She clapped her hands hard.

"Yes! It's Liang He!"

The moment Leila heard Liang He's name, she got goosebumps.

Insidious, so insidious!

"Think about it! Why did we even think of asking Liang He for help?"

Why was Liang He invited? Wasn't that Deputy District Chief Goring's suggestion?

"Because of District Chief Polu's disappearance, Deputy District Chief Golin temporarily took over as district chief, and since he had dealings with Liang He, he would naturally think of her."

Then they set off from the guard and the federal army side.

“The guards went missing. Oko reported it, and I led the Federal Army to launch a rescue operation, but it failed.”

After the failure, it was only natural that Lyra needed to report again and request the Federation to send orcs to help.

"But even the powerful orcs are helpless against this. What should we do next?"

Leila turned her gaze to Goring.

Feeling a little uneasy under his gaze, Göring swallowed hard and hesitated before answering.

"I paid special attention to the animal poisoning incident at the Tianyao Star Nature Reserve before, and my admiration for Liang He has only grown stronger..."

Therefore, naturally, Liang He, who was almost omnipotent in his mind, became the target of his plea for help.
