“What did you say?! Dragon Emperor?!”

De Gu Lishi's eyes widened, his Adam's apple bobbed, his chest felt tight, as if he had been hit by a cannon.

Twenty minutes ago, the lurking team on Hailan Star sent an urgent intelligence report. The head of the intelligence department hurriedly approached De Gu Lishi, the current commander of the organization and deputy leader, and reported the situation with a pale face.

Ames had appeared on Hailan Star!

The upper echelons of DarkStar were shocked.

The Dragon Emperor was neutral, but suddenly came to the Gadon Star System. Did she want to intervene in the Gotola turmoil? No, the probability was small. Most likely, it was that bastard Black Star who called Ames, but why Hailan Star...

De Gu Lishi was vigilant. After thinking about it, he couldn't figure out Ames's intentions.

After analyzing it, he felt that this matter was strange. The other party settled on Hailan Star instead of going to Gotola's mother star to contact the government. It didn't seem to be aimed at DarkStar, but more like traveling.

"Black Star is the leader of the Longtan Armed Forces. I heard that he is expanding his power recently. Perhaps Ames came here to conduct an on-site inspection for the development of Longtan." The head of intelligence pondered, "This possibility is the highest."

De Gu Lishi nodded slowly and said solemnly: "Don't let down your guard. We still have grievances with the Dragon Emperor. She is a variable in the plan. However, as long as we don't provoke her, she can't do anything to us. Even if she is a Super-A grade powerhouse, she is only an individual's force and cannot solve the current situation."

As he said that, De Gu Lishi breathed a sigh of relief. He had just been frightened by Ames's reputation and subconsciously felt that the situation was serious, but after thinking about it, he realized that the problem was not that big.

So what if the Dragon Emperor was very good at fighting? Just don't appear in front of her. Could her personal force resolve Gotola's problems? She was just one person. This starry sky was so vast that it could never be conquered by an individual!

De Gu Lishi relaxed, thought for a while, and ordered: "Let the lurking team on Hailan Star pay close attention to Ames's movements, and temporarily list Hailan Star as a restricted area. No one is allowed to approach Hailan Star."

"Uh, it seems that there was no plan to attack Hailan Star in the first place..." The head of intelligence said helplessly. The scene of an assault fleet being blown up by Black Star last time was still vivid in his mind. He would have to be crazy to send someone to their deaths.

"By the way, how is the matter you mentioned last time about planting an insider in the Black Star Mercenary Corps going?"

"I have bribed some free mercenaries and asked them to apply to join the Black Star Mercenary Corps. Black Star doesn't seem to be recruiting people recently, but since they want to expand, the spies I bribed will have a chance to get in sooner or later.

As for bribing Black Star mercenaries, I haven't started yet. I don't know the details of those Black Star mercenaries. Before I collect enough information to confirm which Black Star mercenaries can be bribed, I don't plan to startle the snake."

De Gu Lishi's eyes flashed, and a sneer appeared on his face, "Very good, this is a plan that kills two birds with one stone. It not only penetrates the Black Star Mercenary Corps, but also mixes into Longtan."

The meeting continued for a while. Regarding the threat of the Dragon Emperor, De Gu Lishi only told the troops to stay away from Hailan Star. He had no other orders. He believed that this was enough. Although Ames was strong, she could not affect the organization's long-prepared plan. The top priority was to continue the plan.

What De Gu Lishi didn't know was that in a place he couldn't see, the situation had already undergone subtle changes.

He still thought he had a lot of time... The entire DarkStar thought so.

...

The fleet escorting Na Gejin returned to Gotola's mother star, which was an extremely large planet, more than ten times the size of Golden Gate Star. Dozens of garrison satellite bases surrounded the mother star, and the defense was extremely strict.

The spaceship landed. Senior officials from the War Affairs Bureau, who had already received the news, waited at the dock with a group of subordinates. As soon as Na Gejin got off the ship, this group of people greeted him.

"How's the thing?"

"Intact."

"That's great. We don't have time to delay. Let's go to the Scientific Research Bureau."

Na Gejin went to the experimental base of the Scientific Research Bureau in the company of a large group of guards. There were even two other Calamity Grade colleagues guarding him. The road to the base was completely blocked by the military to prevent any unexpected factors. Even the highest leader of Gotola did not have this treatment.

Na Gejin carefully arrived at the experimental base and successfully handed over the Hetero-Genesis to the strictly selected scientific researchers. They would study the Hetero-Genesis in the laboratory with the highest level of alert. The confidentiality level was the highest to prevent any possibility of leakage.

Na Gejin was the key person in promoting the transaction with Black Star and was allowed to watch the test results. He waited in the guard-surrounded waiting room for most of the day, feeling restless. Finally, he learned the preliminary research results of the Hetero-Genesis.

This thing was indeed the main body that caused the Hetero-Genesis disaster!

With this sample brought back by Na Gejin, the research speed for the antidote would increase by leaps and bounds!

"That's great..." Na Gejin finally relaxed. What he was most worried about was that the sample Han Xiao gave him would be useless.

"Well done."

The senior official from the War Affairs Bureau patted Na Gejin's arm heavily.

"I didn't do anything. It's all thanks to Black Star."

Na Gejin smiled wryly. He never dreamed that the key point for Gotola to break the deadlock would be an outsider.

The senior official from the War Affairs Bureau couldn's help but smile on his usually unsmiling old face, like a blooming chrysanthemum—both in shape and color.

"That's true. Black Star gave us a big surprise. I didn't expect that in the end, it would be a mercenary... Heh, he really solved our urgent need."

After a pause, the senior official from the War Affairs Bureau restrained his smile and said solemnly: "This news must be kept secret. Don't leak the news, lest DarkStar come up with some conspiracy. Maintaining the status quo is the best situation at present."

In order to cope with the successive blows from DarkStar, the members of Gotola's various agencies were so busy that they had almost no time to sleep. Han Xiao's sudden help surprised the senior officials of Gotola. Even the highest leader paid attention to this mercenary named Black Star and even wanted to personally give him a thumbs up.

The War Affairs Bureau deduced the situation, and the result made many senior officials break out in cold sweat.

If DarkStar was allowed to continue recklessly, the situation would become more and more serious. If it lasted for a year or two, it would greatly hinder Gotola's development and cause Gotola's civilization to regress. The results of managing the Gadon Star System would disappear by half, and even the worst case would be internal division.

Because they knew the consequences, the senior officials of Gotola were so excited—the sample provided by Black Star could allow them to avoid huge losses, save countless citizens, and reverse the entire situation!!

Han Xiao had become Gotola's great savior in the eyes of the senior officials.

"Black Star is an important figure in Longtan. His help can also be regarded as Longtan's help. Ames seems to value him very much... Perhaps we will be blessed in disguise in this incident, and Gotola will indirectly forge a relationship with a detached force like Longtan."

The senior official from the War Affairs Bureau was excited and pressed Na Gejin's shoulder, his eyes shining, "Black Star's energy is beyond our imagination. You must maintain a relationship with him. If possible, it is best to go one step further."

Na Gejin's mouth twitched, and he tentatively asked, "What do you mean by going one step further..."

"Give full play to the advantages of our Gotola people and become his best friend!"

The senior official from the War Affairs Bureau looked serious.

Na Gejin silently raised his sandbag-sized fist, and golden flames shot out, his style like a certain wave-sending race transforming.

"Don't think that just because you are my superior, I won't dare to beat you."

...

Since Ames arrived, the atmosphere in the shelter had become strange.

Whether it was the players, the people in the shelter, the Black Star mercenaries, or the Gotola people, they were all very curious about Ames. Ames did not avoid others. Her daily life was to visit everywhere, and Han Xiao always accompanied her.

Han Xiao naturally didn't mind being Ames's tour guide. After all, he was also very free. It was not easy for the Dragon Emperor to come, so he had to entertain her.

Ames was mainly interested in the players, but considering that this planet was Han Xiao's hometown, she behaved relatively low-key and did not do whatever she wanted to dissect the players at will.

People in the shelter could often see the two of them walking together on the street. Thinking of the recent rumors, they couldn't help but look at Han Xiao and Ames with strange eyes.

Han Xiao noticed the gazes of passers-by. Although there was no expression on his face, he was extremely speechless in his heart.

He felt that the brains of those cadres were filled with water. They dared to spread rumors that he and Ames had a special relationship. He didn't care about these rumors, but Ames might not. If she was unhappy, she could easily beat up the mercenaries who spread the rumors.

At that time, would he help to beat them or help to beat them?

However, in the past few days, Han Xiao's worries had not come true. Ames did not show any abnormality. Her expression was as usual, and she talked and laughed as usual. Han Xiao definitely did not believe that she had not noticed the strange gazes of passers-by.

After thinking about it carefully, how could a powerhouse of this level be affected by such simple rumors.

Han Xiao felt that he was overthinking, and at the same time, he secretly rejoiced that Ames could not see the player forum.

"Strange gazes from passers-by" were nothing. The players had already compiled hundreds of novels about his love-hate relationship with Ames on the forum. The twists and turns of the plot and the perversion of the characters made his scalp tingle, his lower body shrink, and his myocardial infarction.

And the source of all this was Meat Bun's new video. He seriously and meticulously analyzed the relationship between Black Star and the Dragon Emperor, not only with pictures, but also really talking about it.

Meat Bun said it with such certainty that Han Xiao himself almost believed it. Many players directly exploded. The simps immediately had their mentality explode, while the "Leader, Love Me One More Time" support group announced that this was a great victory. The two sides tore each other apart, and the war spread from the Hailan Star section to other novice star sections. Foreign friends just wanted to shout, "Leave us a way to live. Can we continue to talk about the game!"

Meat Bun had always been a very useful publicity ambassador, and Han Xiao wanted to strangle him for the first time. This kind of reporter just wanted to make big news all day long, fabricating out of thin air, subjectively speculating, disregarding the facts, and fearing that the world would not be in chaos. If any player spread it out and Ames saw it, was he not afraid of taking responsibility?!

However... Putting aside those messy relationship guesses, Meat Bun's licking was in place and exquisite. Han Xiao had nowhere to vent his anger, and he was even licked a little comfortably.

"I'm really convinced..." Han Xiao supported his forehead. He didn't plan to open the player forum in the past few days, fearing that his blood pressure would explode.

Ames floated beside him, looking around. Today, she was still shopping as usual. Han Xiao sorted out his mood and looked at the distant walls of the shelter. Players the size of ants were climbing up and down, modifying the walls.

A few days ago, he had instructed Meros and Bennet to issue tasks to the players to transform the shelter. The transformation project officially began, and the players had a new job. They gave full play to the excellent tradition of being able to endure hardship and never shout tired, turning into building bricks, moving wherever they were needed.

Now the players had a certain amount of strength, and their efficiency was much higher than when they built the shelter. Han Xiao estimated that the transformation of the shelter could be completed within a month.

"No wonder you want to recruit Hetero-Ablers. You seem to have a very high status in their hearts. You value them very much." Ames chuckled.

"There are not many people in this world that I value, only a few billion." Han Xiao shrugged.

Ames's eyes curved, and a beautiful arc appeared on her lips. She had just laughed twice when she suddenly stopped and looked ahead. Han Xiao also followed her line of sight.

He saw Hela and Aurora just walking past in front. When they turned their heads and saw the two of them, their footsteps stopped, and they stopped in front.

In the past few days, Hela and Aurora had been busy testing the infected, and had only heard that Han Xiao had brought back a big shot from the universe, and had not officially met.

This time, they happened to meet.

"Are they the two sisters you mentioned?" Ames stared at the two of them lightly.

"Hmm..." Han Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

On the other side, Hela looked at Han Xiao expressionlessly and then at Ames, not knowing what she was thinking. After a pause, she took Aurora's small hand and walked up.
