In the vast laboratory, it was almost filled with people, but no one spoke. The only sounds were those of researchers moving around and manipulating instruments.
In the center of the laboratory, there was a huge experimental bed where Liu Zhenghong lay with her eyes closed. It had been two days since the battle with the false slave tribe, and that enormous false slave tribe was floating in the sky above several Survivor Fortresses. As the Survivor Fortresses moved, the false slave tribe followed, causing anxiety among everyone. They feared that at any moment, it might attack and send everyone to hell.
This worry made almost everyone accustomed to looking up at the sky, not realizing how many neck problems they had developed as a result. The big shots of the Sule Alliance had held several discussions but had not found any good solutions to this problem. After all, Liu Zhenghong was in a coma, severing the only connection with the false slave tribe. All their thoughts were just speculations, and there was a high chance they were incorrect.
If they acted based on these assumptions, it could lead to serious consequences. With a slave tribe larger than the true slave tribe nearby, no one dared to act recklessly, let alone make any rash decisions.
Today, everyone was gathered again at Ye Zhongming's summons. After observing Sister Hong's condition, these influential figures felt a sense of regret.
Among the few who had emerged from the Cloud Summit faction, besides Ye Zhongming, there were only three others who caught their attention. One was the Yama Tree, who, under the Old Dean's guidance, had made remarkable progress and would soon become a top expert in the alliance.
Apart from that, there was Liu Zhenghong and her husband. Liu Zhenghong was a master of magic crystal weapons. Though his skills were initially lacking, his concepts were advanced enough. Over the years, he had made continuous progress and had become a senior researcher, even participating in the design of the giant cannon installed in the Survivor Fortress. He was now responsible for the specific construction of one of the cannons.
Compared to her husband, Liu Zhenghong's status in the alliance was significantly higher. She had risen to the rank of top scientist and was considered an authoritative figure in some of her specialized fields. If Ye Zhongming held up most of the sky for the Cloud Summit faction, the remaining part was supported by Sister Hong.
With such a person now in a deep sleep, all the medical and research personnel were at a loss. If this continued, it would undoubtedly be a significant loss for the alliance.
“Zhong Ming, tell us why you called us here. If there’s anything we can do to help, just let us know,” Yao Han Su, the leader of the Su Clan and the rotating chair of the Sule Alliance, stated directly.
Others nodded in agreement.
To reach Liu Zhenghong's level, with such knowledge and accomplishments, she was not just a treasure of the Cloud Summit but of the Sule Alliance as well. If she could be saved, no one would hesitate or hold back.
Ye Zhongming sighed softly, “I have no way either.”
As everyone frowned in concern, the King of Cloud Summit continued, “But someone has proposed a method that might be feasible.”
Everyone's gaze followed Ye Zhongming's to a very young researcher.
The researcher calmed his nervousness and began to share his thoughts.
“Sister Hong is currently in a deep sleep. We’ve checked, and her body doesn’t have major problems. Although there is some brain damage, it’s far from being in a coma. After two days, those injuries have largely self-healed.”
“So we speculate that the reason for her current condition is still related to her control over the false slave tribe.”
Bi Yin's face darkened at this, and he bluntly remarked, “Isn’t that obvious? Of course, it’s related to the control of the false slave tribe; what else could it be? Say something we don’t know.”
The researcher trembled in fright but managed to calm down under Ye Zhongming's encouraging gaze and continued, “The false slave tribe we created is unconscious. Strictly speaking, it’s not a complete life form. To make it obey commands, we had to let a part of Sister Hong's consciousness enter it. However, the situation turned out to be somewhat unexpected. We underestimated the resistance of the true slave tribe and the resources needed to control the false slave tribe. I believe Sister Hong transferred all her consciousness into the body of the false slave tribe to prevent the plan from failing.”
