Ye Zhongming slowly opened his eyes and gently sat up from the embrace of Liang Chuyin and Xia Lei.
Sometimes, a sense of security is a very magical thing. With the current strength of the two women, even if they were exhausted, they would sense any movement within a hundred meters. However, from the moment Ye Zhongming sat up to when he got up and left, they remained sound asleep, still in deep slumber.
Stepping out of the door, he was greeted by a bright sunny day. Even though he knew that the weather in the Survivor Fortress could be adjusted, it still lifted his spirits.
At the door, the fully golden earth yellow pill approached, lowering its head to rub against its master.
Ye Zhongming looked up and was met with a massive and bizarre cannon.
The combination of metal and biological structures was intricately carved with countless array symbols and densely packed energy input ports.
Looking further up, he noticed the cannon body, which gave off two impressions: one being its enormous size, and the other that it seemed almost alive.
It had been a year since they had killed the slave race on Earth, and many technological achievements had been made. However, the reality was that the Sule Alliance was not doing particularly well.
For unknown reasons, just days after the death of the slave race, surveillance equipment in the Survivor Fortress detected an adult slave approaching their direction.
The Alliance members had no idea if this slave was related by blood to the deceased ones, whether it was a command issued by the slave race's mother body, or if there were even more slaves coming.
Thus, several Survivor Fortresses could only evacuate all survivors from Earth and begin to "run" in the universe.
Their home planet was drifting further and further away from Ye Zhongming.
This was unavoidable; clinging to Earth was too dangerous. Coupled with the actions of the slave race before its death, the planet had become unsuitable for human survival in a short time, forcing them to temporarily abandon it.
However, Ye Zhongming believed that as long as Earth still existed, he would someday return.
Of course, the Alliance wasn't merely running away. The Survivor Fortresses controlled their speed to keep the pursuing slaves at bay and continuously dispatched fleets to scout the path ahead, preventing sudden appearances of other slave races.
After all, although they had killed the slave race, it had been a weak, juvenile individual. Facing adult slaves, their chances of winning were incredibly low.
Nevertheless, the speed of technological advancements was quite satisfactory.
For the members of the Sule Alliance, research on the slave race's genetics had progressed very smoothly, with over half of the lineage mapping completed. Certain results had even begun to enter the clinical stage. If all went well, future evolvers of the Sule Alliance would see groundbreaking progress in injury recovery, disease treatment, and breaking through bottlenecks.
This would significantly increase the average lifespan of the Sule Alliance's members, propelling their overall strength forward.
Although this leap was averaged out and seemed not to impact the slave race much, one must realize that as the population base grew and quality improved, the probability of producing peak powerhouses would also increase.
Having more individuals like the Old Dean would provide many more methods to deal with the slave race.
In addition, the overall technology of the Sule Alliance had also rapidly developed.
To say nothing of the huge amounts of Moon Age Gold extracted from the flesh of the slave race, it was enough to sustain the Survivor Alliance's consumption for a century.
Using this Moon Age Gold for previously impossible experiments, manufacturing equipment that had not been made before, and attempting breakthroughs in technological barriers they had previously dared not cross...
Take, for example, the massive cannon before them.
The main cannon of the Survivor Fortress was already the highest-level energy weapon the Alliance could possess. Each shot consumed an enormous amount of energy, and due to certain material issues, this main cannon could only be fired a few times before the main body would be damaged.
