Chapter 1596: Blue Star Alliance Group Established

"Personnel from Lab Six on Hui-3 Mountain 86, including team leader Xie Hailong, nine researchers, and five security personnel responsible for the lab's safety and defense surrendered. Add to that the two team members captured while on duty outside the lab and the three team members killed, and not a single person escaped from Lab Six. The other side… suffered zero casualties."

In a secret room in Hui-5's outer city, an intelligence officer reported the latest situation to Qu Fangzhou, "Along with the Sixth Research Group, we also brought back the Heavy Alliance Security Team Eight. They illegally landed inside the Hui-3 Evolution Forest and have also been judged as invaders."

Qu Fangzhou nodded, "Lure the tiger off its mountain."

"Exactly! Using the fake intel about our captain being on Hui-3 Mountain 86, they got Yu Dongming to send out the elite of the Heavy Alliance Security Team, so the assassins could strike while the opportunity arose." Another intelligence officer chimed in, "Based on the intel we've obtained, among the team that assassinated Yu Dongming, there are definitely members of the Yu family."

Yu Dongming, chairman of the Heavy Alliance Group, died in the underground bulletproof secret room of his own villa. Because the room was locked from the inside, by the time the Yu family noticed something was wrong and violently broke open the door, Yu Dongming was already dead beyond any doubt.

The police reviewed the recordings repeatedly before discovering that when Yu Dongming was answering a call at the door, a drop of soft-bodied chemical agent dripped down from the ventilation duct above his position, landing on the top of his protective mask. Because the Yu family butler was short, he couldn't see this drop of chemical, and the Yu family villa's surveillance equipment wasn't intelligent enough to recognize this kind of risk, so no warning was issued.

After Yu Dongming returned to the secret room, he died from the neurotoxic gas released by this drop of chemical.

The police tracked the scent inside the ventilation duct and confirmed that the evolved rat that had poisoned the area could enter and exit the Yu residence through a route that avoided all cameras. After the poisoning, this evolved rat left the Yu residence, was grabbed by a kestrel's talons and carried away from the secure zone, making further tracking impossible. And the toxic gas this rat used to poison Yu Dongming was the latest research result from the Heavy Alliance laboratory…

If members of the Yu family hadn't been involved, this plan could not have succeeded.

Qu Fangzhou nodded, "Yu Dongming's wife Cao Fang, daughter Yu Wenfei, and niece Seeing Xin Yu are all suspects. Have you tracked the movements of Xie Yu from the Azure Dragon Squad?"

The intelligence officer shook his head, "No. Based on the division of labor among the three captains of the Azure Dragon Squad, Xie Yu should have secretly gone to another base to discuss the details of cooperation with the officials or squads there. Do you suspect he's connected to the murder of Yu Dongming?"

Qu Fangzhou nodded, "We can't rule out that suspicion. Because Seeing Xin Yu is a good friend of Xia Qing, and Xia Qing is closely connected to the Azure Dragon Squad. Keep paying attention to intel related to Xie Yu. Find a way to contact Xie Hailong and get the detailed contents of his communications with the captain."

"Yes."

Another intelligence officer carefully reported, "Captain Qu, the captain has already ordered everyone to say we've defected. Now even the search teams in the Hui-1 Evolution Forest won't take our calls. What do you think?"

The intelligence personnel in the room all stopped what they were doing and held their breath, waiting.

Qu Fangzhou spoke calmly, "From now on, we are the Ninth Intelligence Group of the Blue Blood Alliance. Everyone's salary is doubled immediately, and you'll enjoy the treatment of internal members of the Blue Blood Alliance. Based on work performance, you can exchange for Blue Blood's non-sale medicines. Our group's primary mission is to find the whereabouts of Fierce Squad Captain Deng Yufeng as quickly as possible and protect her."

"…Yes!"

"Captain… Qu," the intelligence group member changed the form of address and asked, "Do we continue the previous intelligence gathering missions?"

"Continue. Whether it's Professor Fu Tianfeng and Xia Qing in Hui-3 Northern Zone One, the Heavy Alliance Group in Hui-2, or the Mad Sand Squad in Lan-5, any of them could be the targets the captain wants to cooperate with."

"Yes!"

Early the next morning, Xia Qing, who had been pulled aside by Yanlong, chatted casually with the Broken-Waist Wolf after catching her breath, "Broken-Waist, have you seen this raven before? Look, its sclera is white. Isn't that pretty distinctive?"

The Broken-Waist Wolf crouching beside Xia Qing looked up, indicating for Xia Qing to look up.

Xia Qing raised her head and discovered that the raven in the picture she'd just shown the Broken-Waist Wolf was, damn it, perched on a big tree not far away! Xia Qing raised her hand and greeted that raven, "Bai Yan, good morning."

Then, Xia Qing continued chatting with the Broken-Waist Wolf, "It's the territorial lord of the area near that big prickly ash tree on Peak Three of Mountain 86 in Raptor Territory. It has dual evolutions in brain domain and speed, pretty impressive. It's currently courting the brain-domain-evolved raven in Territory Eight."

The Broken-Waist Wolf, who was in the middle of yawning, immediately became alert and swung its head widely from side to side at Xia Qing, making Does Daigua's signature move.

"Right, that's the one. Its full name is Molly, its nickname is Guagua, and it's the important companion of my good friend Seeing Xin Yu…" Xia Qing shared the story of Mountain 86 with the Broken-Waist Wolf. The Broken-Waist Wolf didn't hear enough and raised a paw to bat at the protective mask Xia Qing had placed beside her.

Xia Qing responded, "It's recorded. I'll show you when we get back later. Broken-Waist, you're not busy this morning, right? When we get back later, you take samples of the soil from each plot in my territory first, and test the situation of the soil anaerobic bacteria? I need to go to the Ninth Center to handle some work."

The Broken-Waist Wolf bared its fangs in a grin, showing the little sharp tips, indicating it could.

"Broken-Waist, you're truly the best wolf in the world. No wonder my lord likes you so much!" Xia Qing sighed emotionally, then turned to ask the old wolf wearing a mask on her right, "Fourth, I have something I want to discuss with you and Broken-Waist. How about we few pull a group chat together…"

After Yanlong sternly pointed out the loopholes in cooperation among several sub-adult wolves, and had a fight with the Handsome Giant Wolf, she decided to take a fifteen-minute break. Turning around, she discovered Xia Qing and two wolves sitting head-to-head together looking at a phone, muttering in low voices about something.

The scene gave her the urge to take out her phone and snap a picture.

Yanlong walked over and asked, "What are you chatting about?"

Xia Qing didn't hide it from Yanlong either, "We're discussing pulling together a chat group. In the future, if there's any unusual movement in the Evolution Forest, we can report it in the group, and we won't have to call one by one to confirm the news."

Yanlong responded, sat on a rock, took off her water bottle, and took a sip. She didn't offer to add the wolves' contact info, nor did she propose joining the group. Because her phone was under surveillance, its confidentiality was very poor. If she added these wolves as friends, she would immediately expose the secret that they already had modern communication equipment and could communicate with people without barriers.

If this secret got out, it could shock the entire Blue Star!

After pulling a Blue Star Lord Alliance group, Xia Qing pulled Fourth, the Broken-Waist Wolf, and Does Daigua into the group, then sent a message in the group, asking the two wolves to also send messages inside, and very patiently explained the purpose of the group to them.

Yanlong listened for a while and asked, "Doesn't the Handsome Giant Wolf need to join the group?"

"It doesn't recognize characters yet, so I didn't give it a phone." After explaining, Xia Qing said to the Handsome Giant Wolf that Yanlong had beaten down not far away, "Big Wolf Bro, you should learn characters. Come over for class tonight. I'll teach you."

The Handsome Giant Wolf lay on the spot, pretending not to understand.
