NOVEL NEXT Chapter 765: Upgrade
But the effect is not particularly ideal, because the soldiers responsible for cleaning occasionally mutate.
It caused the troops themselves to be in panic, looking at their teammates with eyes full of unease and vigilance.
After all, no one knows when the companions beside them will suddenly go crazy.
This anxiety and fear linger in their hearts, just like an inescapable haze.
Inside the Star Guiding Space Station Command Room.
An old man in a dark blue military uniform walked in with a group of subordinates.
"What's the situation now?"
"Commander Martinwa, the situation is not very optimistic, the unrest is still ongoing. Because it's unclear who the mutated people are, we're very passive, often just calming an area and rescuing passengers there, only to have new mutated people emerge the next second among the rescued passengers. Additionally, there are also problems within our Guard Team."
"Damn it!"
Martinwa cursed through gritted teeth.
At this moment, an operator, as if seeing a monster, shouted in horror.
"Heavens, oh my God!"
"What happened?"
Martinwa turned to look at the operator.
The operator tremblingly raised his hand, pointing to the distant starry sky.
Everyone followed his gaze, and their faces showed extreme fear.
In the distant starry sky outside the Star Guiding Space Station, at some unknown time, a twisted void opened, with countless black, sticky tentacles like those of an octopus emerging from the void.
Each tentacle is hundreds of kilometers long.
It seemed as if some great terror was about to emerge.
Seeing this scene, Martinwa shivered all over, wondering what kind of monster this was.
At this moment, the system scanning device issued a piercing alarm.
"Warning, scanning indicates numerous unstable space wormholes."
"Warning, scanning indicates Type III Negative Energy Pollution Alien Species, Flying Lizard Beast."
"Warning, scanning indicates Type IV Negative Energy Pollution Insect Race, Blacktooth Flying Insect."
....
Martinwa walked straight to the nearby observatory, raised his hand to adjust the optical telescope, and gazed at the distant starry sky. The starry sky appeared like it was blooming, with irregular cracks appearing one after another.
Numerous monsters polluted by negative energy emerged from the cracks, swarming in all directions, heading toward the various planetary nations surrounding Ring Star City.
Among them, a large number of monsters also rushed toward Federation Earth Star.
Martinwa's heart contracted sharply, and he turned his head to shout.
"Activate the space station's defensive weapons! Notify the Federation space defense troops."
...
Galmotos Empire, Tadera City.
Emperor Marcus stood on the Tower of Judgement, symbolizing the highest authority.
He gazed at the rioting Tadera City, the whole extremely prosperous city ablaze with raging flames and violent explosions.
Behind Marcus kneeled a group of officials and generals.
Their foreheads continuously seeped with cold sweat.
Tadera City hadn't experienced such a large riot in who knows how many years, and they couldn't imagine how furious Emperor Marcus would be.
It's not that they were unwilling to suppress it at the first opportunity, but the number of rioters far exceeded expectations.
If the number of individuals affected by negative energy pollution in Alliance Country is about one in a thousand, then the problem rate in the Galmotos Empire is an astonishing one percent.
It was imaginable how many soldiers and civilians, who faced injustice, mutated.
However, this was also understandable, as living under the imperial system meant encountering more injustice.
Too many people had accumulated despair and hatred in their hearts, which were thus being exploded one by one.
At this moment, Marcus twisted his neck slowly turning his body, his body exuding a terrifying aura, making the officials and generals present extremely uneasy and fearful. He spoke brutally, "I'll give you one month, either you twist off the heads of the out-of-control people, or I'll twist off yours."
"Yes, Emperor."

--------------------------------------------
Freedom City central area, R-12 Refuge Base.
Su Mo sat on a chair, watching the latest news footage.
A calm, middle-aged male news presenter was broadcasting the latest news.
"To respond to sudden unrest, the new Council President Alles has decided to sign a special order to end the Federation Government's transition period ahead of schedule. The Federation Government is officially in full operation, and Alles signed a total of 183 administrative control orders, rescue orders, suppression support orders yesterday....."
"Currently, 721 cities on Earth Star are still in turmoil, with 21 cities in extremely critical condition. The Federation Government has directly dispatched troops to suppress them."
"Council President Alles formally announced yesterday that the Federation has entered a Level 1 state of readiness, with all regions under control."
"Latest news, the Federation's largest Star Guiding Space Station has been attacked by monsters, and a large number of wandering cosmic creatures have appeared around Earth Star."
"The Federation Space Agency has issued a Level 1 danger warning, downgrading the safety assessment level of all routes."
...
Su Mo looked at the news report, rubbing his head as he also felt a bit of a headache, having been at this base for seven days.
It seemed the turmoil had not ended yet.
Thinking of this, Su Mo picked up the phone again to call Qian Chengxue.
"Sorry, due to special reasons, the current communication signal is interrupted, please be patient..."
Su Mo was also helpless, communication issues in various areas had still not been resolved.
"Su Mo, what's wrong."
Lin Zinuo came over and asked with concern.
"A bit worried about the company, wanted to make a call to ask, but couldn't get through."
Su Mo said helplessly, not having the nerve to directly say he was worried about Qian Chengxue.
"Rest assured, with Sister Xue there, it will surely be fine."
Lin Zinuo said with a smile.
"Hmm, how's Auntie's recovery going?"
Su Mo asked with concern.
"Recovering well, it'll be fine after some time."
"That's good, aren't you busy, aren't you helping your father?"
"I'm taking advantage of their spare time to discuss, running over to see you, lest it's said the hospitality wasn't adequate, haha!"
Lin Zinuo joked with Su Mo.
"Haha, then thank you."
Su Mo joked with Lin Zinuo for a bit, and his mood improved a lot.
"Do we need thanks with our relationship, how is your health, are you alright?"
Lin Zinuo looked at Su Mo with some concern.
"What's there to worry about, I'm fine."
"Nonsense, my father told me that's severe negative energy pollution, and it's irreversible, basically incurable, yet you can still laugh."
Lin Zinuo's smile faded, replaced by deep worry.
"Haha, though it can't be cured, as long as it's suppressed, look at me, isn't everything normal, no different from a normal person."
Su Mo deliberately put on a completely relaxed look.
Lin Zinuo pulled over a chair and sat in front of Su Mo, staring at him, and suddenly sighed.
"You've been through a lot these years, haven't you."
