Chapter 196 Good News and Bad News

Upon arriving on Tigray Star, the mentors and their group, unable to contain their smiles, headed straight for the government building.

The staff at the government building were completely bewildered by their excited expressions.

"What's going on? Wasn't the Second Star Ring lost? Why are they so happy?"

"Could it be that excessive emotional stress caused him to lose control of his facial expressions?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, how pitiful."

The mentor and Karin Reynolds were on good terms, so he knocked on Karin Reynolds' office door immediately.

Karin Reno was as impeccably dressed as ever, with every strand of hair perfectly smooth and her skin firm, but her eyes betrayed an undeniable weariness.

“My dear friend, it’s a pleasure to meet you. Here are the keys to the Reno Hotel; the entire floor is your private space.”

The mentor took the key, raised his eyebrows slightly, narrowed his eyes into slits with a smile, and grinned from ear to ear: "My dear Karin, I have some good news to tell you."

"What good news?"

The situation in the Federation was in complete disarray, especially with the sudden arrival of the second star ring from the giant tomb, which caught the Federation completely off guard.

The defense lines built with the full strength of the Federation have become a joke.

Chu Huaizhi was still at the Holy Gate and couldn't return in time. The space fleet of the First Star Ring had been decimated by Lin Xiaohe and could only barely maintain the First Star Ring. There was no way to target the Giant Tomb.

There was absolutely no clue as to how to deal with the crisis of the second star ring, and even the Ministry of Security had not made any statement.

Karin Reynolds wore a perfect smile, but inside she was suppressing anxiety and worry.

The mentor didn't keep them in suspense, and said with a smile, "I'm 90% certain that the crayfish is a juvenile Void Devourer!"

what? !

Karin Reynolds' eyes widened suddenly, as if she had heard a joke: "My friend, this is no joke!"

"I swear on my profession and my reputation that everything I have said is true."

"My goodness!" Karin Reynolds could no longer maintain her elegant and dignified demeanor. She stood up and paced back and forth in the office.

Her mind was like a sky full of fireworks, crackling and popping, with all sorts of chaotic thoughts churning and swirling, unable to find an outlet for their pent-up emotions.

Crayfish are void devourers.

Crayfish can be eaten = Void Devourer can be eaten.

Lin Xiaohe kills crayfish like chopping melons and vegetables = Lin Xiaohe kills Void Devourers like chopping melons and vegetables.

“Oh, this is really…” Karin Reynolds breathed heavily, her right hand clutching her heart, which was beating faster and faster, as if it were about to burst out of her chest.

She finally saw a glimmer of hope for a breakthrough in the federal government!
She finally saw hope for humanity to defeat the Zerg!

At this moment, Karin Reynolds' eyes were filled with tears, and her lips trembled uncontrollably: "[Nuwa], I request to convene an emergency meeting. It concerns the future of the Federation and the future of humanity."

[Nuwa]: "Application approved, currently in contact."

In less than 10 minutes, the virtual network conference room was set up, and representatives from the military, security department, government, and parliament entered the meeting one after another.

Before anyone could even ask, Karin Reynolds dropped a bombshell: "The crayfish is the juvenile form of the Void Devourer."

Then, she sent the video footage recorded by her mentor and reports on crayfish from various parties to the participants' smart devices. The conference room was silent for a moment as everyone buried themselves in the data.

After reviewing the documents four or five times, the meeting room suddenly erupted in chaos.

"Holy crap, it's actually true! I thought Karin Reynolds was just teasing us."

"Oh my god! If we had known that the Void Devourer was so easy to kill, we would have called Lin Xiaohe over sooner, and we wouldn't have suffered so many losses."

"Hahaha, God is looking out for us humans. With Lin Xiaohe around, the Zerg won't be able to cause any trouble!"

"The Empire has Zerg hybrids, and we have Lin Xiaohe!"

The atmosphere in the meeting room was relaxed and harmonious, filled with relief.

When the mountain known as the Zerg is removed, everyone will have a bright future.

The federal government representative said matter-of-factly, "Then let's go and call Lin Xiaohe back. We'll wipe the slate clean of past grievances. The federal government will no longer pursue the matter of her killing someone in public."

The security representative scoffed, tacitly agreeing to the proposal.

Government representative: "By the way, let Melina handle the communication. Her son is a key member of the Xinghe Party and a staunch supporter of Lin Xiaohe. She's better positioned to communicate with Lin Xiaohe."

Melina, who was hastily pulled into the meeting room, listened to their words with a strange expression and couldn't help but say, "What? In your hearts, is Lin Xiaohe some kind of despicable person? Someone who comes when summoned and goes when dismissed? If you think so highly of her, why don't you go and ask Lin Xiaohe if she's willing?"

The government representative looked at him with an expression of utter disbelief: "What is she dissatisfied with? None of us wanted what happened back then to happen again. There were certainly misunderstandings, but doesn't she bear any responsibility at all?"

The security official said sarcastically, "We all see through it but don't say anything. Lin Xiaohe has had contact with the Zerg before, and there's no way to deny that, is there? We've been very magnanimous about whether she knew about the Zerg's plan to attack humanity, and we're not going to pursue it further. What more do you want?"

“Yes. What kind of good place is the Dark Domain? We’ve already been very lenient by allowing her to return to the Federation Starfield.”

Seeing Melina's extremely unpleasant expression, the military representative tried to smooth things over: "If Lin Xiaohe can help resolve the Zerg issue, we will definitely give her a reward."

Melina asked sternly, "What reward?"

The boss makes employees work overtime and even tries to make empty promises. Do these people not even want to make promises?!
The military representative said, "Promotion and a raise! With such great merit, a promotion beyond the usual ranks is perfectly justified. How about a lieutenant colonel? If that's not possible, a senior colonel is negotiable."

The military has the authority to grant ranks, and is completely independent of the federal government and parliament.

Melina rolled her eyes and retorted, "You can't fall into the same trap three times. Before, you used this rank as a carrot to lure Lin Xiaohe into working hard. Now, you want to use the same trick again?!"

The military representative didn't object, but the security department representative flipped the table: "Melina, are you even capable? If you're not, then let someone who is!"

Melina decisively replied, "I can't. I don't have that kind of thick skin or confidence."

The security department representative was furious and immediately ordered Nuwa to kick Melina out of the meeting room: "[Nuwa], contact the head of the Fifth Star Ring War Zone. I don't believe that Lin Xiaohe will not give us face when our security department personally intervenes."

The head of the Fifth Star Ring War Zone was pulled into the conference room, looking completely bewildered.

Oh, good news.

Humanity is saved! Lin Xiaohe is the nemesis of the insect race. She can not only kill insects, but also turn them into delicious food.

The head of the Fifth Star Ring War Zone, pale-faced, licked his dry lips and said weakly, "What a coincidence, I have some bad news. Do you want to hear it?"

"Ok?"

He looked utterly hopeless: "Lin Xiaohe is trapped in the Magellanic Clouds, and the Dead Hand System is entering its final charging phase."
