Chapter 236: Activation

After chatting with Yingzhou for a while, Ji Bu deduced that the Evil Spirits likely intended to attack the Ninth Defense Zone upon learning that the item given to him was a Teleportation Device, so he asked Yingzhou.

"Yingzhou, do you think I should still activate this Teleportation Device? Right now, we have no idea about the enemy's numbers or their weaponry and equipment."

Yingzhou nodded and said to Ji Bu, "Of course. Since that Alien Race has set its sights on you, even if you don't help them activate this Teleportation Device, they will find other ways to invade us. Only by hurting them will we gain a moment of peace."

After a pause, Yingzhou continued.

"However, the positions of the Stone you placed earlier were too spread out. Shrinking the area covered will be beneficial for us to eliminate the Alien Race that appears here."

Ji Bu nodded and replied.

"Hmm, let's do that."

A moment later, after Ji Bu and Yingzhou had halved the range covered by the Stone and reunited, Ji Bu flexed his arms and said to Yingzhou.

"Alright, let's get started. I am going to activate the ritual that Alien Race gave me now. You must be careful. You already know the positions of the six Stone. Once the fighting is about done, destroying them should be fine, right?"

"No problem."

Ji Bu walked to the Stone placed in the center, crouched down, and began to inject Spiritual Power. As the Spiritual Power was injected, this yellowish Stone began to emit a glow. Immediately after, the five surrounding Stone also reacted; a glow appeared on their surfaces, establishing a connection with the central Stone.

Ji Bu withdrew his right hand, looked at the Teleportation Device activated by his Spiritual Power, and nodded at Yingzhou not far away.

Seeing this, Yingzhou stepped into the area without a moment's hesitation. Just as he entered this area, Yingzhou felt a strange energy fluctuation rampaging through it, but Ji Bu, standing not far away, did not seem to notice this anomaly.

"It seems to be targeted at those who step in here. As the activator, Commander Ji Bu does not count as an outsider here, so it is normal that he cannot perceive it. However, it does not affect my summoning of soldiers."

Yingzhou felt the chaotic energy in the surroundings and whispered to himself.

Soon, the energy within this area began to converge. After accumulating to a certain degree, it erupted with powerful energy fluctuations, tearing a massive Rift in this area.

This time, Ji Bu also saw that Rift and muttered to himself.

"It is fortunate that I did not trust that Evil Spirit, otherwise I would have failed the old commander's sacrifice and trust."

Sixth Defense Zone Inner City.

A group of "Human" were holding various weapons, wearing armor with energy protection, and were excitedly discussing the new paradise they were about to go to.

Although they had human appearances, they had altered their human bodies. Some of the Alien Race were covered in scales, some had bones piercing through their flesh and skin with sharp spikes growing on the bones, and others had turned their human bodies into monster-like forms, bloated all over, with white bone spikes growing from their heads, and viscous liquid constantly flowing from the pores of their bodies.

"I want to try corroding a human soldier's mind in a while. The human soldier here last time held out for 2 days before I managed to corrode his mind and thoughts. I wonder if the human soldiers this time can hold out for longer."

"Hahaha, take advantage of the attack to find more Puppet and try evolving in different directions!"

"We are here to save them! To save their minds, to let their thoughts feel an unprecedented tranquility, far away from this terrible world."

"That's right, the only useful thing about them is this body; bodies that adapt to various evolutions are truly rare!"

Heertui watched these excited warriors, waiting for Ji Bu to activate that Teleportation Device.

At this moment, a warrior with three extra eyes on its forehead and tentacles growing from its neck found Heertui and said to Heertui.

"Lord Heertui, Lord Bishop asks how much longer you need."

Heertui's dark green pupils looked at this warrior, and after thinking for a few seconds, he replied.

"I need time. Please ask Lord Bishop to wait patiently."

After dismissing the warrior sent by Lord Bishop to inquire, Heertui licked his Liaya with his slender tongue and whispered to himself.

"Ji Bu, I have helped you so much; as partners, it shouldn't be too much for you to help me once, right? Although I did deceive you, this was your own choice. If I hadn't helped you, the Ninth Defense Zone might have been submerged by the Zerg long ago.

Sure enough, making humans willingly walk toward a path of no return gives me more pleasure than forcibly corroding their minds. Ji Bu, I wonder what kind of expression you will have when you see us descend?"

Just then, Heertui felt that the six Stone he had given to Ji Bu had reacted, and a sharp glint flashed in his dark green pupils.

"It's finally here. It's a bit later than expected; it seems there was still some internal struggle. But it doesn't matter, you have already activated the Teleportation Device. My friend, we will meet very soon."

In this open space, these Alien Race wearing human skin watched Heertui slowly walk up the steps and shouted to them in a booming voice.

"Warriors of the Hou! We are preparing to start a new journey, for the Master! Lord Bishop is watching you!"

After the Hou warriors below heard Heertui's words, the atmosphere was ignited instantly, with voices rising wave after wave.

"For the Master!"

"For a more perfect evolution!"

Feeling that the time was right, Heertui immediately manipulated the Spiritual Power of this body to begin connecting to the Teleportation Device on the other side. As a Rift gradually appeared behind Heertui, the cheers of these Hou warriors grew louder and louder.

"Set off! For the Master! For a more perfect evolution!"

At Heertui's command, the Hou warriors swarmed into the Rift, preparing to take those human bodies for their own.

Heertui looked at the Rift appearing behind him, his dark green pupils flickering with light, and said suspiciously.

"Strange, this Rift is nearly half the size I expected. Why didn't Ji Bu prepare according to my requirements? Could it be that the venue couldn't accommodate it? That's true, after all, he said he was going to award a medal to that soldier named Yingzhou; it's not hard to understand if the space is narrow. Speaking of which, there should be quite a few high-ranking officials from the Ninth Defense Zone at the commendation ceremony, right? Wouldn't that mean we could directly control quite a few of the enemy's high-ranking officials?"

Thinking of this, Heertui couldn't help but smile, his originally ferocious face becoming even more eerie.

Subsequently, Heertui also followed the Hou warriors into the Rift.
