Let's rewind to when Viv and his crew's spaceship had just left Pluto.

After all the spaceships had left the port, the entire planet Pluto fell into a silence that made the insects uneasy.

In a pitch-black cave, where you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, a dripping sound suddenly came from somewhere.

Then, the sound of machinery running echoed through the cave, and then lights came on, illuminating the entire cave.

Inside the cave, there were all sorts of instruments, the purpose of which was unknown.

Then there was another beep, and the number 30 appeared in bright red on the screen of one of the instruments.

Then, the numbers began to change continuously: 29, 28, 27...

The countdown has begun.

......

Meanwhile, Lu Yuan and his family were still trying to pry open the door, completely unaware of what was happening.

However, after prying for a while, Rhine noticed something was wrong, so he stopped what he was doing and put his ear to the door.

"Rhine, what's wrong?" Lu Yuan asked.

"It's so quiet outside, it's like there isn't a single bug in the air," Rhine said.

Hearing Rhine say this, Lu Yuan, Reiwall, and Sueno followed Rhine's example and pressed their ears against the door.

After a while, the three insects nodded to Rhine in unison, indicating that Rhine was right and they really couldn't hear a sound outside.

Then Lu Yuan said something strange.

"How could this happen? Did they go through all that trouble to lock us up, only to run away on their own?"

"That's not right. They went to so much trouble, even sacrificing their own hands, to lock us up. Normally, shouldn't they threaten and intimidate us next, demanding something in return? Otherwise, what's the point of them going to such lengths?"

Rhine fell into thought and did not answer Lu Yuan's question.

However, he also agreed with Lu Yuan's statement. He also believed that the Netherlands Company had gone to so much trouble to successfully imprison their family, so they must want to get something from them.

Otherwise, who would do something that isn't profitable?

But now, the Netherlands Company's decision to remove the insects without a word has left Rhein somewhat puzzled.

Rhein began to ponder the true purpose behind the Netherlands company's actions.

Based on the intelligence gathered over the years, the culprits behind the Netherlands Company are extremely ruthless.

Moreover, they are very vigilant and like to nip crises in the bud, which is why, over the years, Rheinland has never caught the Netherlands off guard.

Because every time there's a hint of trouble, the relevant evidence and clues are immediately destroyed by the Netherlands Company.

Wait, the phrase "likes to nip a crisis in the bud" began to echo in Rhine's mind.

Rhein believed that since the culprits behind the Netherlands Company had reached out to him, they must have some understanding of his strength and methods.

The culprit behind the Netherlands Company must have realized that if anyone dared to kidnap his child, he would certainly not let the Netherlands Company off easily.

So it's very likely that the Netherland Corporation's real motive is to kill the entire family of four, and they're trying to nip this crisis in the bud.

This explains the current actions of the Netherlands Company.

Rhein intuitively felt that this guess was correct, because if he were in the other's shoes, and he were the culprit behind the Netherlands Company, he would have done the same.

The best way to deal with a powerful enemy is to find a way to eliminate them before they cause trouble.

After arriving at this conclusion, Rhine did not panic at all; on the contrary, he fell into a state of extreme calm.

After thinking for a few minutes, Rhine first took out a signal transmitter and sent several messages to the starship.

Then Rhine called Lu Yuan over, leaned close to Lu Yuan's ear, and said in a very low voice.

"The Netherlands Corporation's bugs probably wanted to kill our whole family here. Now that they've withdrawn their bugs, they're probably planning to use some extremely powerful weapon against us."

Lu Yuan's breath hitched, and his eyes flashed with panic. However, Rhine's calmness quickly infected him, and he gradually calmed down as well.

"My lord, do not worry, I am here, I will protect you," Rhine said.

Lu Yuan nodded solemnly, then whispered to Rhine as well.

"I will do everything I can to protect you and the children."

Rhine smiled, kissed Lu Yuan on the cheek, then turned away and quickened the pace of prying open the door.

Lu Yuan also stood beside Rhine with a serious expression, assisting him.

Revol and Sueno, who were squatting to the side, were covering their mouths and chuckling when they saw Rhine kiss Lu Yuan.

But unexpectedly, a few seconds later, the atmosphere between the male and female fathers became heavy.

Because they didn't hear the conversation between Lu Yuan and Rhine, the two children had no idea what had happened.

However, the heavy atmosphere made the two children afraid to speak much. They just squatted quietly to one side and helped with what they could.

More than ten minutes later, with a combination of technical skill and brute force, the door was finally pried open by Rheinland.

As soon as the door opened, Rhine said immediately, "Let's go."

Then Lu Yuan and Rhine picked up a child, and at the same time Lu Yuan activated the laser pulleys on his shoes, and they quickly ran outside.

In a frantic dash, they quickly escaped the rocky hill and headed towards where the spaceship was hidden.

The spaceship was secretly hidden on Pluto by Rhine using various means in advance, just to facilitate their escape.

Just as they were about to reach the spaceship's hiding place, the earth suddenly shook violently as if it were being torn apart, and bursts of explosions came from underground.

Rhein quickly deduced that this was a sign that a large weapon was about to be launched.

There's no time left. If we board the spaceship now, we won't escape Pluto, and we'll crash with it.

Rhine immediately changed its plans.

"My lord, it's too late. We can't get on the spaceship. Let's find a place to hide."

After saying that, Rhine first scanned the surroundings, then quickly selected a rocky hill, and then ran towards the selected rocky hill.

Lu Yuan silently followed behind Rhine, then turned around and ran towards the stone mountain.

After running into the rocky hill, they saw a long metal corridor.

Rhine, pulling Lu Yuan along, continued their desperate sprint down the corridor toward the underground.

Rhine stopped running at the very bottom, where he could go no further.

Then Rhine picked out the most sturdy-looking room from the bottom few rooms and dragged Lu Yuan inside.

After entering the room, Lu Yuan and Rhein put the child down.

Before he could even catch his breath, Lu Yuan heard a huge explosion.
