Fleet silently hovered above the shelter, like flying fortresses. People on the ground looked up in stunned silence, able only to see the wide bottoms of the spaceships and the blue glow of the anti-gravity stabilizers.

This was not the first time Planet Aquamarine players had seen a spaceship in person. When Han Xiao left Planet Aquamarine, a spaceship had descended once. Now, history was repeating itself, but instead of a single spaceship, it was a fleet!

Although Bao Rou's recordings of the Black Star Mercenary Group's interstellar exploits were full of spaceships, the shock of seeing them up close was far more intense.

Hundreds of thousands of players craned their necks, their faces filled with excitement and awe. Many were recording everything.

The power Han Xiao displayed far exceeded the past. He himself did not make a move, yet he could command so many powerful individuals. How strong was he?

The players threw a Detection at Han Xiao, but the information they received was still a screen full of question marks. His danger level remained [Extremely Fatal]. It was like a feather tickling the heartstrings of many players, itching them to the bone. They were extremely curious about Han Xiao's power.

Ahhh, I really want to know!

"My spaceship is parked above the shelter. Do you have any objections?" Han Xiao turned to Huang Yu, who was staring blankly, his expression calm and collected, as if to say, "Basic operation, no need to be surprised."

Huang Yu shook his head like a rattle-drum, wiping away cold sweat. It wasn't a question of whether he had any objections, but whether he dared to have any!

Han Xiao looked at Bennett. "Let's go. We need to talk."

"Th-this…"

Bennett was stunned. In the two years since they had last met, Han Xiao had continued to shock him. What had Black Phantom experienced in the interstellar world?

A sense of anticipation arose from the bottom of his heart. Black Phantom said he was going to find a way to solve the disaster. Now that he had returned, he must have found it, right?

The crowd was dense. The group made their way through the crowd to the core area of the shelter.

Han Xiao dealt with Bennett's issues first, leaving the players aside. There was no need to rush. In any case, the leeks planted in the ground couldn't run away.

First, let the impact of his return brew within the player community. It was the same principle as letting the bullets fly for a while. Grand Technician Han was never an impatient man. Haste makes waste.

…

Han Xiao had the mercenaries wait outside, only taking the cadres into the conference room.

Yi Ye Qing had been waiting here for a long time. She sized Han Xiao up and down, her expression complex. She asked the question that had been on her mind for a long time. "You exchanged me out of Death Knell Island. I don't believe the reason you gave me at the time was true. I'm not the only pharmacist. Why did you choose me? Did you foresee that my ability could create inhibitors?"

"Guess," Han Xiao replied vaguely.

Yi Ye Qing frowned. She didn't mind being used for freedom, but she hated this feeling of being kept in the dark. She originally wanted to press him, but when she met Han Xiao's eyes, she felt a sense of oppression penetrating her heart, like a large stone pressing down on her chest.

Han Xiao's aura was much stronger than before. She bit her lip and didn't dare to act rashly like she used to. She swallowed her words back down.

Bennett cleared his throat and took over the conversation. "As you can see, the disaster you predicted has indeed occurred. We call it the Heteromorphy Disaster. We hope you've returned because you've found a solution. With Planet Aquamarine's technology, there's no way to solve it. We can't even detect the Heteromorphy Virus."

"Tell me about the situation."

Han Xiao nodded. Due to his influence, the specific process of Planet Aquamarine's encounter with the Heteromorphy Disaster was very different from what it had been in his previous life. For example, there was no Third Shelter in his previous life. Although the specific plot was different, the core of the event was the same: the Heteromorphy Disaster. As long as he grasped the core, he wouldn't be afraid of changes in the plot.

In ten minutes, Bennett introduced the current situation of Planet Aquamarine.

"The situation is still optimistic. I came back in time," Han Xiao said.

Bennett paused and asked, "What exactly did you experience in the universe?"

He finally had the opportunity to ask. He wanted to know how Han Xiao built his power, what he had encountered, what his current status was, and so on. He was full of questions.

"I'm a mercenary. These are my companions." Han Xiao pointed to the cadres who were boredly playing Wayne cards next to him. Melos and Harmon were locked in a fierce battle.

This group of good-for-nothings couldn't be serious. They didn't care about the disaster. Anyway, the leader would handle it. What was there to worry about?

Han Xiao briefly went over his experiences, but Bennett still listened with astonishment. The vastness of the interstellar world greatly exceeded his imagination.

Although he stayed on Planet Aquamarine because of his responsibility, Bennett couldn't lie to himself. He also yearned for the stars and the sea.

Bang!

At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and Aurora rushed in. Her eyes swept past the many cadres and landed on Han Xiao, who was sitting at the table. Her face was filled with surprise. She ran into Han Xiao's arms and hugged his waist tightly.

"You're finally back! I missed you so much!"

Aurora rubbed her chest against Han Xiao like a kitten, revealing a reassuring expression. Besides Hela, she was the closest to Han Xiao and relied on him very much.

The petite body in his arms was warm and exuded a faint fragrance. Seeing Aurora so close, Han Xiao couldn't push her away. He smiled helplessly and let her hug him, reaching out to touch Aurora's head. He smiled gently and said, "You've changed… cough, grown up."

Aurora's appearance had changed a lot compared to two years ago. Two years ago, she was thin and weak, with pale skin, and had to drive a racing wheelchair. Now, her skin was rosy and healthy, and her golden hair was dazzling. She had also grown taller. She rushed over just now, full of energy, and didn't even need a wheelchair.

Her ability gave her vigorous vitality and radiated vitality.

This scene immediately attracted the attention of the cadres next to her, who looked on in astonishment.

Who is this woman? She's so close to Black Star. Could it be that the leader got married in his hometown?!

Han Xiao let Aurora hug him for a few seconds, then helped her up and asked, "Where's your sister?"

"I brought her with me. She didn't want to come looking for you," Aurora said with a smile.

Tap tap tap…

Hela walked into the room and looked at Han Xiao. Her expression was calm and indifferent. "You're willing to come back?"

"I came back because I couldn't bear to leave."

Han Xiao felt a surge of resentment from her, which surprised him a little.

Hela didn't say anything. She took out something and threw it over casually.

Pa.

Han Xiao caught it and saw that it was the key to the secret hideout he had left for Hela back then.

"Your key," Hela said.

"No, it's your key." Han Xiao threw it back.

Hela caught it and threw it back to Han Xiao again, lowering her eyes. "Now that you're back, I won't need this key anymore."

Originally, this key was for Hela to take refuge in a crisis. The fact that she said this now obviously meant that she believed that after Han Xiao returned, she would no longer encounter danger. Although she didn't say it explicitly, she implicitly expressed her inner thoughts.

"…You trust me that much?" Han Xiao raised his eyebrows. "Then why didn't you leave with me in the first place?"

"That's my freedom." Hela pursed her lips and looked at the group of cadres. Her gaze swept over everyone, pausing for a moment on Aroshia, Sylvia, and Jin Dai.

"I thought you'd be happy to see me." Han Xiao was helpless.

"What are you to me? Why should I be happy?" Hela retorted.

At this moment, Sylvia spoke, dissatisfied. "Teacher came back to save you. How dare you talk to him like that?"

As soon as she said this, everyone looked over, their eyes strange.

Sylvia was confused and shrank her neck. Her tone lowered involuntarily. "Wh-what are you looking at? Am I wrong?"

"Shut your mouth," Melos rolled his eyes. "Come back and play cards."

This little girl has no tact at all. The leader is talking to acquaintances from his hometown. What's it to you? Anyone with eyes can see that this red-haired woman is being tsundere. Isn't it better to be a background board? No one will treat you like a mute if you don't speak.

Dud dud dud…

Bennett tapped his fingers on the table, looking unhappy. "Hela, stop messing around. We're talking about serious matters."

"Hmph." Hela strode over and sat down directly next to Han Xiao.

Then, she casually flicked a weak dark red stream of air at Bennett's face, dissatisfied with his use of the word "messing around."

As soon as she sat down, she casually picked up the pure black mask that Han Xiao had placed on the table and started playing with it. This mask reminded her of the Germinal Organization leader, but now that she thought of that man, Hela would no longer be angry and out of control. Two years had passed, and she had calmed down a lot and was no longer easily stimulated by the past.

"Ahem, let's get back to the topic…" Bennett rubbed his numb face and said in a serious tone.

"Do you have a way to solve the Heteromorphy Disaster?"

Han Xiao tapped his fingers slowly on the table, looked around at everyone's expectant eyes, and smiled.

"Yes."
