Chapter 471

"A world where Earth has already fallen?"

Being shouldered by Rus, Fogrem walked with him toward the outside of the harbor, he froze for a moment, then said: "But Father told us to..."

"Hey~! That's Father just pulling your leg." Rus interrupted Fogrem's doubt, saying: "You think military merits in the main universe are easy to earn? My dear brother, you're really naive."

Father didn't let you open the Space Gate, letting you resolve threats in other universes; where would you get enough merits to convince the main universe's society and all the legions? Hahaha!

"This..."

Following Rus out of the top-level hall and arriving at the external flying craft docking area, Fogrem couldn't help but doubt again: "Brother, if what you just said is true, then wouldn't… Father require you to keep me confidential?"

"Uh..."

Rus's steps stalled, he put on a fake "Right!" expression, then loosened his grip on the OriginalBody brother's right hand, scratched the back of his head, and continued: "Father indeed said that before, ah, forget it, no need to worry about these unnecessary details."

Speaking, Rus turned his head to look at Sara, Gen Luo, and the many veterans of the 13th Battalion Terminators behind him, his tone intensifying: "Remember, today's conversation is limited to us, understood?"

"Yes." Gen Luo and the veterans respectfully acknowledged.

"Got it." Even though Sara was usually playful and had drunk with Rus, she still nodded sensibly at this moment.

Seeing this.

Rus then recovered his previous carefree attitude, leading the group to board a flying craft driven by the Honor Guard as chauffeurs; all the flying craft were enlarged and widened vehicles, directly departing the surface harbor and heading toward the office building located at the very center of the metropolitan area.

Inside the flying craft.

"Brother, since you just mentioned it, I need to save a world where Earth has already fallen; may I assume that you, brother, possess detailed information about that world?"

"No way!" After hearing Fogrem's question, Rus didn't hide anything: "If I remember correctly, a Space Gate with a diameter of about one hundred… over a hundred meters is expected to be generated in two and a half hours later, covertly operated by Father, appearing in the northern grasslands of the Finris metropolitan area."

"Two and a half hours…"

Fogrem fell into thought, as if pondering whether Father could open the Space Gate at will or needed some kind of opportunity to do so.

But Rus, too lazy to bother with the OriginalBody brother's mutterings and petty thoughts, continued his narration: "As for the world beyond the Space Gate, there are many alien forces; some aliens' individual qualities…"

I'm talking about physical fitness, which can match our OriginalBody level.

And that Earth, due to being conquered by an alien scum that likes aggression, devouring, and domination, has a surface riddled with scars, and all living beings suffer…

Um… you can see for yourself.

Having said that, Rus actively ended the somewhat rote recitation, waved his hand to bring up a holographic screen, playing the private file Father had sent him, making it easy for Fogrem to look up directly.

Of course, Rus merely pretended not to remember; in fact, with the OriginalBody's unforgettable memory, it's impossible for him to forget anything he's seen.

The reason he did this was purely because Rus was lazy.

And Fogrem wondered why Rus would so simply expose the confidential talk and files; it wasn't because of the Wolf King OriginalBody's carelessness.

In fact, Rus, who sees himself as Father's executioner, would absolutely never defy any of Father's orders or commands.

Therefore, only Sui Bian, as the father of the OriginalBody, had Rus deliberately reveal the impending opening of Universe 07 to Fogrem in advance, so they could deploy against the situation on Earth 07.

"Oh? Ancient Gods… Kryptonians… Apocalypse Star…"

Meanwhile, Fogrem, while reading the file and muttering to himself quietly, had no idea what his seemingly honest brother was thinking; instead, he focused on reading about Earth 07, wondering what kind of catastrophe had befallen it.

Just from the file, Fogrem could learn that Earth 07 had fallen, with over half of its seven-plus billion population wiped out at the moment of the full-scale invasion.

And of the remaining half, over a billion people were brutally slaughtered, experimented on, and… "assimilated".

After completing the "assimilation", becoming soulless, neither-human-nor-demon "demon"-type monsters, they would then hunt down and seek the surviving two billion compatriots.

Furthermore, the leader of the alien forces from the Apocalypse Star who launched the full-scale invasion also used "special" genes and the existing assimilation technology to create an army composed entirely of Doom Demons.

As for the Kryptonians…

They are a species on the brink of extinction, after all the entire species has only one individual left who, as a child, arrived on Earth by spaceship, an "orphan".

This "orphan" was originally named Kal-El, raised by a kind-hearted, very reasonable farming couple living in Kentucky, North America, who gave him the human name Clark Kent.

And within this "orphan's" body lies the ultimate treasure of the Kryptonians—

"The Book of Life"

The Book contains the entire Kryptonian species' genes and talents, combined with Kryptonian birthing technology, allowing the Kryptonians to start anew.

As for Clark Kent, having been exposed to sunlight and radiation since childhood, he has become "omnipotent".

Besides that, Earth 07 also has gods and demons, with deities similar to the main universe's Olympian gods, as well as demons sealed by powerful mages.

In short, the environment of Earth 07 is much harsher than that of Earth 05.

Having finished reading the relevant information.

Fogrem shrank the holographic screen, then looked at Rus sitting opposite him and asked: "Brother, then where are we headed now…?"

"Drinking alcohol."

Still drinking alcohol???

Seeing Rus say without hesitation that he wanted to drink, Fogrem completely couldn't figure out what this brother was thinking; the emotions sensed via Spiritual Perception were also very steady, basically not like he was lying.

Moreover, Fogrem now fully understood why the Space Wild Wolves had such a poor reputation among all the legions.

Immediately, he couldn't help but furrow his brows, emphasizing: "There are still two and a half hours before Father opens the Space Gate, two and a half hours."

Brother, can we postpone the drinking until we return? I hope to be able to deploy in advance and deal with Universe 07.

"Haha~! Of course there's no problem!"

Rus responded heartily again; it seems his earlier words were merely a test or a tease.

"."

This made the newly initiated Fogrem deeply feel that this OriginalBody brother of his was fundamentally not the honest simpleton he appeared to be.

But he didn't keep his thoughts on Rus; instead, he pondered how to save the two billion compatriots.

…

"Sizzle… sizzle…"

The lights in the subway tunnel flickered on and off.

Boom…boom…

Listen closely, and you can still hear the noise from the old kerosene generator.

Besides that, inside the tunnel only the sound of people breathing remains.

All that could be seen was that this long‑out‑of‑service tunnel was packed with makeshift shacks built from wooden planks or the doors and hoods of abandoned vehicles, and other 'trash'.

At that moment, a group of soldiers wearing patched combat uniforms, with equally crude weapons and equipment, were patrolling the narrow corridors.

And on the bed of a shack whose door was merely a car door, a mother and daughter huddled together for warmth.

A girl of five or six, her face grimy, peered through the door crack as the soldiers passed, and she couldn't help but look up and whisper, 'Mom… I'm hungry…'

'Good girl.'

The woman in her thirties fought back tears, gently stroking her daughter's black hair, merely saying 'good girl' before falling silent.

Because their shelter had reached the point of utter food shortage, the remaining rations and water would be given only to those deemed useful; for refugees like her and her daughter, who possessed no special talents, the only option left was to wait for death.

'Boom~~!'

Suddenly, a violent explosion rang out, echoing throughout the entire subway tunnel.

The content during this period might not be great, and with updates slower each day, I really can't bear it, so I'm releasing all the stored drafts at once.

In October I might have to go to work, in September I need to grind out the manuscripts, and I also have to finish the outline for the new book!

Everyone, let's cheer on!
