I manage female characters in all the heavens.

Of course, this may not be all the reasons. For example, why the energy supply could not be cut off after the accident is still unclear, but this is the direct cause of the explosion.

This is enough.

"Good, very good."

"Liu Ting" finally spoke, her voice as light as a feather, yet carrying a chilling coldness that sent shivers down one's spine.

"Cromwell Industries...America..."

She looked up at everyone present: "Where are Chen Desheng's family?"

“According to the investigation, his wife and daughter moved to New Base City, America, three months ago,” a member of the investigation team replied quietly.

Liu Ting nodded.

Everything matches up.

Accepting kickbacks, using inferior products, relocating family members in advance, and disappearing immediately after the deed is done—

This was a premeditated betrayal.

She slowly stood up.

"Team Leader Wang, Captain Lu."

"exist!"

“Seal and secure all the evidence to form a complete chain of evidence, and then submit a report to both the Supreme Defense Science and Technology Center and the Ares Palace simultaneously.”

"The accident at the Hanxia No. 26 Ancient Civilization Relics 7.0 Electromagnetic Gun test site was caused by collusion between the American Cromwell Industrial Group and Hanxia internal personnel, who deliberately sabotaged the project by substituting non-compliant parts for qualified parts."

Her voice wasn't loud, but every word was clear, carrying an undeniable decisiveness.

"We will release the investigation results globally and pursue the entire Chen Desheng family and related personnel of Cromwell Industries."

Everyone in the conference room stood up and responded in unison, "Yes!"

Soon after, Li Mochou and Yunluo received a message from "Liu Ting" and finally helped Murphy and the others escape the pursuit of the Wild Soul Shark. Without saying a word, they left on their own.

At this point, nine hours had passed since they began to be chased by the King-level monster.

When Murphy arrived at the No. 26 ancient civilization ruins and learned the results of the investigation, he was devastated.

After going through so much trouble to get here, and with the intelligent fighter jet almost collapsing, the experimental accident suddenly became related to America. Will we still be able to successfully receive the ruins?

Fortunately, Academician Liu, who was in charge on the other side, was a reasonable person. He separated the matter into its own parts and forced everyone to complete the handover. Within an hour, he led everyone from Hanxia to evacuate the area.

As more than a dozen intelligent fighter jets took off and disappeared into the distance, the entire military fortress suddenly became empty, and Murphy couldn't help but sigh:

"Hanxia is indeed very reasonable. If I were in her position, I definitely wouldn't give up the ruins in this situation."

The experimental accident was clearly America's fault. Logically, Hanxia should have submitted a resolution to the Ares Palace to reassess the management rights of the No. 26 ancient civilization site, or at least not to America.

However, Hanxia's side stated that they respect the War God Palace's decision and that any issues will be raised later. Now that they have arrived, it is time for a handover, and for the sake of human unity, they will resolutely implement the War God Palace's decision.

This made Murphy feel guilty. Look at Han Xia, she is truly righteous, unlike his side, which is only interested in fighting for power and profit every day.

But what could he do? As an American, he could only support his own country.

Night fell completely, plunging the world into darkness. The distant sea was dark and deep, concealing countless terrifying monsters.

Murphy looked at the sea before him and suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Having been a war god for so long, he has never led a team to guard a civilization relic in the sea on his own.

Even with a dozen laser cannons deployed, it's hard for him to feel at ease in a base so far from human cities and isolated overseas.

After all, they had just been chased by a King-level monster for half a day; what if another King-level monster came...?

"No, no, no, what are you thinking? A dozen laser cannons, even the craziest king-level monster wouldn't dare to force its way in!"

Murphy shook his head violently, patted his face, and tried to calm his fear of the sea.

He walked into the base, intending to emphasize to everyone again the importance of defense and that the laser cannons should be ready to be used at any time.

However, just as he turned around, an alarm suddenly sounded, and the next moment, a bright and dazzling beam of light shot out from inside the base, illuminating the entire sea area like lightning.

Through the light of the laser cannon, Murphy saw countless monsters surging towards him on the distant sea, including beast soldiers, beast generals, and lords.

There were even enormous black shadows lurking behind the herd of beasts, blocking the laser cannons at their range limits, their massive limbs waving across the sea, creating towering waves!

Murphy was stunned.

A Level 1 Beast Tide?!

A monster tide with a total number of billions, more than a hundred lord-level monsters, and a concentrated appearance of high-level lord-level monsters, led by a king-level monster, is called a first-level monster tide.

This level of beast tide only occurs once or twice a year nationwide, and each time it causes great damage to the base city. Base cities without powerful councilors to oversee them may even be captured.

And now, this beast tide, capable of conquering even a base city, is attacking this overseas civilization relic defense base guarded by only a few hundred people?!

A continuous stream of dazzling beams of light shot out from the base, precisely targeting and eliminating the lord-level monsters in the horde.

But it was pointless. A large number of monsters used their bodies to shield the Lord-level monsters from the power of the laser cannons. After a round of fire, only one Lord-level monster was unlucky enough to be killed.

A beast tide of tens of billions is not something that laser cannons can solve.

Murphy's expression turned serious. He immediately ran to the parking area of ​​the intelligent fighter jets, boarded one, and took off.

Several warriors who came with him noticed the commotion and ran over, shouting, "Captain, what are you doing?!"

Murphy's voice came from the fighter jet, filled with unwavering determination: "Only by killing the king-level monster that commands the beast tide can we possibly defend this place."

"That king-level monster is too cunning, and it has been staying outside the range of the base's laser cannons. Fortunately, this fighter jet is also equipped with a laser cannon."

Murphy, seated in the fighter jet cockpit, issued his final orders to his men:

"I'm going to kill that king-level monster, and you, hold this place."

"This is human territory, a place that Hanxia has guarded for decades without any problems!"

"Absolutely, absolutely cannot be lost in our hands!"

With red eyes, he piloted his fighter jet, transforming into a streak of light as he rushed towards the enormous black shadow in the distance.

Compared to the enormous black shadow, the streak of light formed by the fighter jet was insignificant, but Murphy went without hesitation.

That night, news spread throughout the world that the No. 26 ancient civilization ruins had encountered a first-class beast tide, that all the American guards of the ruins had been killed in battle, and that all six war gods had perished.

The world mourns!

Chapter 268 The First Family of the HR Alliance

The news that the ancient civilization site on the 26th encountered a first-class beast tide was like a bombshell dropped into an already turbulent sea of ​​public opinion.

The entire administration of America was wiped out, with all six of its war heroes killed and no garrison survivors. This tragedy shocked the world.

While mourning, the major base cities also turned their attention to another major piece of news behind this incident: the electromagnetic railgun accident investigation report released by Hanxia.

Collusion between insiders and outsiders, and the substitution of inferior goods for superior ones, led to the sacrifice of senior academician Gao Jiyuan.

Senior academician, what an honorable status that is!

Their status is comparable to that of a high-ranking war god; they are a treasure of all human civilization. There are fewer than a hundred such people in the entire world!

Since the Great Rebirth, although there have been various safety accidents that have resulted in the deaths of scientific researchers, this is the first time that a senior academician-level scientist has died due to corruption.

The entire Hanxia region was in an uproar.

Martial artists were furious, the scientific community was enraged, and the general public was outraged.

Countless people flooded the official message platform, demanding that the murderer be severely punished and that justice be served for Academician Gao.

Upon receiving the investigation findings, Yao Weiwu immediately submitted the complete chain of evidence to the War God Palace and urgently initiated a resolution.

They demanded severe punishment for those involved, the pursuit and arrest of Chen Desheng and his family who had fled, as well as the relevant responsible persons of Cromwell Industrial Group.

The high level of this resolution has drawn everyone's attention.

Hong, the world's number one martial arts master and the head of the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy, personally attended and presided over this virtual War God Palace meeting.

When that imposing figure appeared in the virtual space, all the attendees spontaneously stood up to show their respect for this strongest human being.

As Gao Jiyuan's student and de facto spokesperson, and also an officially certified War God-level mentalist by Hanxia, ​​"Liu Ting" has received a formal invitation from the War God Palace and is now able to attend the meeting.

At just over ten days shy of her 19th birthday, this is already an achievement that has shaken the world.

At this moment, she sat in front of that huge virtual round table, looking at that figure that seemed to be the center of the universe through the virtual projection formed by layers of light screens.

Hong's voice was deep and authoritative, resonating in the ears of every attendee:

"The investigation results of the electromagnetic railgun experiment accident at the No. 26 ancient civilization site have been submitted to the War God Palace by Hanxia. The evidence is conclusive and the facts are clear."

"Academician Gao Jiyuan was an outstanding scientist of human civilization. His sacrifice is a loss to all mankind."

"My attitude toward such acts of collusion, dereliction of duty, and abuse of power that lead to the sacrifice of human elites is zero tolerance."

The resolution was quickly passed, and Hong personally announced it:

First, we demand that the American authorities immediately arrest Chen Desheng and his family, who have fled, as well as those responsible for the Cromwell Industries Group related to the case, and hand them over to the authorities in Hanxia within the specified time for a global live-streamed public trial.

Second, a huge fine of 5000 billion Earth Credits will be imposed on Cromwell Industries, the company involved, to compensate Hanxia for its losses in this accident and as compensation for Academician Gao Jiyuan.

Third, conduct a thorough investigation of similar incidents globally to prevent such tragedies from happening again.

Hong's resolution received the support of the vast majority of attendees.

Although some people in America looked grim, they had no choice but to bow their heads and indicate that they would cooperate with the resolution under the pressure of overwhelming evidence and the strongest human being.

Sitting in her seat, Liu Ting looked at the faces on the virtual screen—some serious, some solemn, some gloating—but felt little joy.

No matter how severe the punishment, it cannot bring the dead back to life.

Even if those criminals were torn to pieces, it wouldn't bring Gao Jiyuan back to life.

But she also knew that this was the best outcome that could be achieved under human systems.

She took a deep breath, composed herself, and waited for things to settle down.

However, it is counterproductive.

Less than 10 minutes after the resolution was issued, news from America caught everyone off guard:

Chen Desheng and his family have committed suicide out of fear of punishment in their private villa in New Town, America.

Their bodies were discovered by the servants; the cause of death was poisoning.
