Chapter 396: Game

Ninth Defense Zone Outer City.

The news of victory spread through every district as if it had grown wings, and many people, upon hearing the news, could not help but marvel.

"A great victory! A great victory on the front lines!"

"We really don't have to worry about being enslaved by the Alien Race like before!"

"It is the Emperor who changed all this! Praise the Emperor!"

Workers laboring in the Production Zone, hearing the good news brought by resting coworkers, also revealed happy smiles on their weary faces.

In a building in the residential area, a woman looked at the red flag on the wall, clasped her hands together, and said in a solemn voice.

"Thank you, Emperor, for saving us ordinary people with such bitter lives, for saving the decaying Human Alliance, and for defeating the Alien Race that invaded us from outside. Thank you!"

In the Settlement Area, survivors rescued from the Breeding Ground, upon hearing that the Zerg who enslaved them had been defeated by the Emperor, wept with joy, their hanging hearts finally put to rest.

Originally, upon hearing the news of the Zerg's massive offensive, these survivors had felt uneasy; although those soldiers comforted them, saying the Emperor would repel the Alien Race, long-term enslavement had made a portion of these survivors feel fear in their hearts toward those Zerg.

But when the news of victory was sent back, they were finally certain that they would not return to that hell.

There were also some survivors asking those soldiers how they could become Reserve Army soldiers to go to the battlefield and kill the Zerg that had once enslaved them.

Only the blood of the Zerg could wash away those unbearable memories they carried.

"I know you are all very excited right now, but becoming a soldier is not just about hot-bloodedness; it requires time for training and assessment."

"And for now, what you all need to do is adapt to your current life as quickly as possible. After adapting, then consider the matter of signing up for the military."

The Human Alliance soldier maintaining order shouted loudly, and it took a good while before the excited survivors calmed down.

Seeing these survivors calm down, a Logistics Officer stepped forward, cleared his throat, and spoke.

"Everyone, due to the great victory on the front lines, we now need to build a new home. This is also serving the Emperor. Those willing, come to me to sign up."

Once they heard this was also serving that Emperor, this group of survivors rushed up to sign up without hesitation, which made the Logistics Officer hurriedly shout loudly.

"Don't rush, one by one, don't crowd!"

At this time, at the Outer City headquarters, after learning of the great victory on the front lines, Angron immediately followed the instructions Yingzhou had given before leaving, arranging for people to begin continuing to expand the area of the Outer City and allocating all materials needed for construction.

"Councilor Jack, please notify Daixi and have her take full responsibility for this matter. Father has rescued so many survivors, and they all need a place; expanding the area is inevitable. I have already arranged all the scheduling; she needs to go to the construction site to observe the progress."

Jack, hearing Angron say this, did not refuse either, touched his receding hairline, and spoke slowly.

"No problem, leave this matter to me. By the way, did Yingzhou say when he is coming back?"

Angron pondered for a moment and then shook his head.

"Father did not mention this matter. The front line matters are being handled by Vulkan and Lu Zhenda. However, with this great victory, the front line will certainly advance. It shouldn't advance in these next few days; Father will arrange for people to conduct a reconnaissance from the front line to the Military District and then to the Outer City Wall to minimize the possibility of an Alien invasion."

Jack slowly stood up from his seat and said to Angron.

"Alright then, I'll go notify Daixi now and have her depart immediately."

"Mm, thank you for your hard work."

Bode Star System Feng Qi Xing Alliance Entertainment Plaza.

A planet with a diameter of about km was left with only half remaining. Above this incomplete land, peculiar buildings floated in the air in a staggered and orderly fashion.

All kinds of creatures shuttled back and forth between these buildings; their appearances were strange and varied. There were Demons with wings, and giant beasts with bodies as massive as mountains; there were blue-skinned humanoid creatures covered in Armor, and some races composed entirely of energy—they had no physical bodies, only clusters of flashing energy.

Although these creatures came from different races, in this place, they did not have any disputes or conflicts with each other, let alone erupt into fierce battles.

At the flat position of this half-destroyed planet, projections of complete planets hung quietly in mid-air.

Surrounding these projected planets was a circle of building complexes similar to a Gladiator Arena.

These buildings were distributed in a circle, layered upon layers, and their interiors were equipped with countless seats, which were currently filled with members of various races.

Inside the Gladiator Arena of one of the planet projections, a tall creature with six eyes on its head was angrily slapping the table. Its four thick arms were wrapped in armor, and beneath its oval-shaped head, it wore a pitch-black suit of armor. Energy radiated faintly from the armor, causing the surrounding space to distort slightly.

"&**@&:! What the hell are the Zerg doing? They were actually counter-pushed by the natives on this planet!"

In the surrounding seats, other creatures who had bet Bode Coins on the Zerg also echoed and shouted loudly.

"Exactly, I bet quite a few Bode Coins on the Zerg, thinking that no matter what, the Zerg would at least make it into the top three. I didn't expect that not only have they failed to take the natives' territory in these few years, but how could they be counter-pushed by those natives!"

"Did the organizers interfere! We must have an explanation! Otherwise! Refund the money!"

Seeing the protests growing louder, a lady wearing silver-white form-fitting armor and facial features resembling a Human walked out. Her purple hair hung down, and a pair of light blue pendants hung beneath her pointed ears.

Her slender arms reached out, and a powerful surge of energy appeared, making everyone present quiet down.

"Everyone, please wait a moment. We will not have any interference in the game. We also strictly vet all races participating in the game, and there will be no situations of disparity in strength. As for the changes that occurred with the natives of this planet, it is also within the reasonable scope of the game. If the natives show uncontrollable situations later, we will also have other races participating in the game increase their strength accordingly."

After this lady finished speaking, she withdrew her power. Seeing that no one objected, she came to the creature leading the protest and said in a flat tone.

"You are the Prince of Feinongqiu Star—Fenika, right? I am the administrator on duty here today—Fenisi. Are you satisfied with the explanation I just gave?"

Fenika of the oval head looked at Fenisi, his six eyes squinting simultaneously, and he said with an unfriendly tone.

"The Zerg are suffering some serious losses now, doesn't that mean the Zerg I bet on are very likely to be eliminated early?"

"Prince Fenika, it is normal for there to be winners and losers in the game. Moreover, this is the territory of the Feng Qi Xing Alliance; do not think about causing trouble. Our Feng Qi Xing Alliance is considered a relatively reasonable nation in the Bode Star System. This is the place our leader values most. Even if an accident occurs, we will compensate the guests who suffered losses. Please rest assured."

Fenika, seeing Fenisi mention the Feng Qi Xing Alliance, had no choice but to give up.

"Fine, let's leave it at that then."

"Thank you for your understanding."
