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

Chapter 656 Reverse Protection: She's figured it out.

As if to verify Liang He's idea, a violent sound repeatedly blasted up huge splashes of water on the sea surface.

The chain reaction caused by the repeated bombings was exactly as Liang He and his group had predicted. Towering waves surged from the sea toward the land, layer upon layer, wave after wave, with overwhelming momentum.

Everyone held their breath in tension, watching helplessly as the giant waves, like ferocious sea monsters, swallowed up the surrounding land and instantly destroyed the buildings on it.

Thankfully, all residents in this area were evacuated or relocated in time.

One of the warship commanders couldn't help but exclaim that he had survived a disaster.

It is impossible to evacuate everyone from this planet in a short period of time, but fortunately, those citizens who could not be evacuated were transferred to inland areas.

Even if the waves eventually sweep across the entire continent, at least they can buy more time to evacuate.

Racing against time and fighting against death is the true picture of their lives now.

[At the current rate of explosions in the sea, the next giant wave will arrive soon; we must increase our speed again.]

[That's right, there's also the crisis of the underground shelters. If the ocean eventually swallows the land, then the original underground shelters will become inescapable prisons for the citizens!]

Now we can't push the ferocious beasts into the sea anymore, in case they accidentally trigger any potential bombs prematurely...

Everyone was eager to express their opinions, mainly because in this critical moment, they couldn't help but want to vent; otherwise, the unknown fear and the threat of death would drag them into a vortex.

Liang He did not stop her; she continued to talk to Huo An.

Brother Huo, you've seen it too. This is a massive conspiracy. You can't stop it on your own. We can only do our best to save as many lives as possible.

If there were only one or two bombs, Hoan might be able to defuse them using his own abilities.

But now the sea area is clearly hiding countless bombs, and no matter how powerful Huo An is, it's just a drop in the ocean and he can't turn the tide.

"...I understand. I'll go to the nearest shelter now."

Huo An was not a stubborn person and listened to advice very well.

Seeing that he was obedient, Liang He breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, the expedited scan results from the Blue Star commander were transmitted to the warship where Liang He was located.

According to the scan results, hundreds of research institutes of varying sizes are hidden in the sea near the land.

[As expected, each research institute is equipped with its own destruction device.]

The previous explosion at sea was the result of the research institute's self-destruct mechanism being activated.

Given what Hoan had previously mentioned—the discovery of what appeared to be the wreckage of a research machine on the sea—the matter was quite obvious.

[It seems that these Class A and ordinary ferocious beasts are all products of the Underwater Research Institute.]

Liang He was initially puzzled. Under the Federation's rule, even though this planet was relatively remote, it was unlikely that the rebels could have secretly hidden so many Class A and ordinary ferocious beasts.

But it would make much more sense if they were ordinary animals when they entered the planet.

Moreover, the planet itself is inhabited by many birds and beasts, and even marine animals, which can support the rebels in conducting private research.

[Instructor Liang, there's something I don't understand.]

The Blue Star Commander frowned, full of questions.

According to our investigation, neither Droville nor the rebels have the resources to support such a large-scale study.

The establishment of hundreds of underwater research institutes required enormous human, material, and financial resources, yet no one noticed?

Moreover, the army of ferocious beasts previously commanded by the rebels, including Class A beasts, was far fewer in number than all the beasts on this planet combined. This is strange considering it's a place that could be abandoned at any time.

The Blue Star commander's words hit the nail on the head. This was something Liang He had been struggling to understand before.

[There's someone behind DeRowell.]

Liang He didn't hide anything from her own people and directly expressed her guesses.

She always found it strange.

For example, the rebels' research on ferocious beasts, or rather, their research on non-human beings, actually existed before Hokan and Wushi, and did not happen only after Hokan succeeded Droville.

So, is there someone lurking behind the scenes, manipulating all of this?

The Blue Star commander was quite surprised; he hadn't expected that the infamous rebel leader would actually have someone controlling him behind the scenes.

[That's right, the activation of the self-destruct device at the underwater research institute this time was likely a result of the other party's attempt to cover up their crimes.]

In order to prevent his secret from being discovered, that man directly sacrificed the lives of an entire planet, and his behavior was even more insane and outrageous than that of Drowell!
Could he be hiding among us?

It's not a conspiracy theory about the Blue Star Commander; it's just that this kind of thing is all too common.

The rebels have a long reach, and the person behind Drowell, who can make him submit, must be of a very high status.

【uncertain.】

Liang He didn't have time to verify whether there were any undercover agents among them, so she could only hide key information or contact them privately.

For example, her conversation with the Blue Star commander at this moment would not be known to a third person.

For example, the encrypted messages she secretly sent to Holder.

No matter what, I will not stand by and watch him destroy this planet.

Liang He gazed intently at this planet that should have been dazzling and filled with laughter.

It is very similar to Earth. If Earth were in Lianghe's shoes, he would never stand idly by if Earth suffered such a heavy blow.

They even wished they could eliminate the person who destroyed everything, making him wish he were dead!
[What is the progress of the personnel evacuation?]

Liang He stopped discussing the mastermind with the Blue Star commander and instead focused on the evacuation situation in order to be ready to deal with any unexpected situations that might arise.

With the help of the Marshal, Lord Landon, and others, most of the hidden rebel forces outside the sanctuary have been successfully dealt with.

[And unsurprisingly, remote controls for human bombs were found on them.]

[After each location was cleared, the Federal troops guarding the underground shelters would relocate the individuals with internal explosives; the situation was progressing relatively smoothly.]

With the cooperation of various parties, the crisis at the underground shelter has been temporarily alleviated.

However, Liang He was worried that the real culprit who controlled the explosion in the sea might also be able to remotely control human bombs, so he could only order people to organize the safe underground shelters to evacuate people as soon as possible.

[Let the Ghost Turtle create a protective barrier for the person carrying the bomb; if it explodes, it will prevent the blast from affecting others.]

Upon hearing Liang He's words, everyone was a little taken aback. Shouldn't the priority be protecting ordinary citizens?

Upon further reflection, they instantly understood Liang He's intention and looked at her with admiration.

[Commander-in-Chief, you're awesome!]

Reverse protection—Liang He has finally figured it out.

Accepting the praise from the commanders, Liang He gave a slight twitch of her lips, but quickly turned her gaze back to the army of ferocious beasts that had been driven to the brink of extinction by the Class A beasts.

My darlings, the final chapter will be released tomorrow at 3 PM. Stay tuned!
