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

Chapter 655 Unexpected Events, Urgent Situation

Okay, I understand.

[Then we will proceed to the nearest shelter based on our respective locations to carry out the clearance plan.]

Upon learning that Liang He had already made arrangements, Landon and the others did not waste any more time and set off on their own.

However, just when everyone was in good order and thought they could successfully resolve the crisis and save everyone, an accident still happened.

"boom--"

Elius, about to step off the warship, transform into a black dragon, and head to the sanctuary he was in charge of to deal with the rebels, watched helplessly as a white mist rose from the azure ocean.

The water mist gradually expanded, towering into the clouds, carrying enormous energy. High-pressure water vapor and seabed material surged and rolled, like a giant splash of water rising from the seabed, which was incredibly awe-inspiring.

What happened? What's going on?

Has another explosion occurred somewhere?

[Was it the commander-in-chief who ordered those ferocious beasts to explode in the sea?]

Just when everyone thought it was Liang He's normal operation, Huo An, who happened to be near the sea, realized something was wrong.

I didn't see any Class A ferocious beasts driving the other beasts over; the explosion was caused underwater!

As he spoke, Huo An, who had transformed into a Kunpeng, immediately changed direction and flew towards the sea.

The shockwave from the explosion continues to spread outwards, generating towering waves that are crashing towards the coast for hundreds of kilometers.

[An immediate evacuation and relocation of the area surrounding the sea is imperative!]

Having realized the seriousness of the problem, Huo An immediately requested an evacuation from the headquarters.

As the commander-in-chief, Liang He did not forget his duties while directing Class A ferocious beasts to surround and intercept ordinary ferocious beasts.

She returned to the warship immediately and took over command.

【Huan, find out the cause of the underwater explosion and confirm if there are any other possible explosions. Be extremely careful.】

Compared to ordinary Federation soldiers, Huo An, as an SSS-class orc whose beast form is a Kunpeng, is obviously more suitable for conducting deep-sea investigations.

Okay, leave it to me, don't worry.

Just then, Huo An had the same idea. Without the slightest fear or delay, he headed straight for the sea area where the incident occurred.

Standing in the warship's command room, Liang He, who was waiting for Huo An's report, didn't sit idle. Instead, she contacted the commander of the Blue Star warship.

Have the depth scan results for the sea area been released yet?

Before leaving the warship, Liang He specifically instructed the Blue Star commander to conduct a deep scan of the planet, which had not been initiated before due to the long time required.

【not yet.】

We prioritized and conducted in-depth scans of densely populated cities first, with coastal areas being the last priority.

Should I make immediate adjustments and prioritize a deep scan of the sea area?

The Blue Star commander clearly hadn't expected things to develop to this point.

When Liang He asked him to perform a deep scan before, the Blue Star commander thought she was being too cautious and worrying unnecessarily. Now it seems that he was just underestimating the enemy and being too hasty!

[Adjusted plan, prioritizing sea areas for scanning.]

Liang He tapped her fingertips on the table, her brows furrowed.

This series of countermeasures seemed to have trapped her in a dead end.

As perceptive as she is, she has already realized that things are not simple and has begun to think about the causes and consequences, gathering all the scattered clues together.

"Keep an eye on the situation in the sea, I have something to attend to."

Liang He left the command room and went to a quiet, deserted corner to contact Holder.

Holder and Xu Yi did not come with this operation; they should have already returned to the reserve to await news.

Liang He sent a encrypted message to Holder. It didn't matter if he couldn't understand it; he believed that Pharmacist Qiu, who remained in the protected area, would answer his questions.

"how is the situation?"

After sending the message, Liang He returned to the command center and once again focused her gaze on the sea area where Huo An was located. The deep sea is a place difficult for humans to explore and reach.

At this critical juncture, the explosion in the sea is by no means a natural disaster, but a man-made one.

If this man-made disaster cannot be stopped in time...

As Liang He gazed at this planet, which had nearly half of its surface covered by ocean and was closely connected to cities, her heart sank to the bottom.

"If there is more than one explosion in the sea, the resulting massive waves could very well engulf the entire landmass."

At that time, everyone will perish in the merciless sea, and there will be no need to worry about those ferocious beasts, human bombs, and rebels anymore.

Liang He's words silenced everyone.

They couldn't imagine how ruthless and inhumane it would take to conceive of and carry out such a man-made catastrophe.

Commander-in-Chief, we cannot sit idly by and wait to be killed!

The first sound rang out, followed by the second, the third...

That's right! Even if it means death, I will never let these beasts' plot succeed!

[I am an ocean-type beastman! I'm going to provide support right now!]

[The evacuation of personnel near the explosion site is complete, and I have issued evacuation notices to the surrounding areas.]

At this moment, in the face of a planetary-level catastrophe, no one is backing down.

They no longer needed Liang He to teach them step by step; instead, they took initiative and acted spontaneously, making the most of every second.

I wish you all the best.

Liang He did not stop them, nor did she make any further arrangements before receiving news from Huo An and the Blue Star commander.

She simply stared silently at the transmitted images, watching everyone working tirelessly for life on this planet, sparing no expense, just to ensure that more people... could survive.

With a slightly lowered gaze and her lips pressed tightly together, Liang He had already made her decision.

[Liang He, I've found the wreckage of what looks like a research machine in the sea...]

[Boom—Bang!]

Huo An's voice came through the communicator, but before he could finish speaking, another explosion erupted in the sea.

This time, the resulting water mist shot straight into the sky, its power even greater than before.

Brother Huo, are you alright?

Liang He braced her hands on the table in front of the monitor, staring nervously at Huo An's location.

Liang He only breathed a sigh of relief when the enormous Kunpeng spread its wings and soared into the sky from the sea, far away from the explosion zone.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

Even though Huo An said he was fine, Liang He still noticed the bloodstains gradually appearing on Kunpeng's body.

Huo An didn't say anything because he was afraid she would worry.

Liang He did not expose Huo An's concealment, but a dark look quickly flashed across her eyes.

"That's good. You can proceed with the original plan and deal with the rebels near the underground shelter."

No, I must find out what's going on underwater...

For the first time, Huo An refused Liang He's arrangement.

As an SSS-class orc, he has the responsibility and obligation to protect the lives of citizens.

Even the beastmen who are not as good as him are rushing towards the sea, so what reason does he have to retreat?

[Brother Huo, I've already ordered Earth's warships to conduct a deep scan of the sea area. It's faster and safer. What you should do now is get all the citizens to safety.]

Besides Huo An, the Federation orcs who were originally heading towards the sea have also been assigned by Liang He to carry out other missions.

The secondary explosion in the sea was enough to prove her point that there was no need to make any more unnecessary sacrifices.
