"Two months and ten days ago, the baru demon beast maternal body fell ill with a disease I do not know, causing its energy absorption efficiency to decrease by four times, sir, the amount of medicine you provided may not be enough to catalyze the maternal body to its peak state..."
Little Gul hesitantly voiced these words, while Wen Yu keenly noticed that on the other end of the communicator, the mysterious person's breathing suddenly became rapid.
"I knew it..."
"Uh?"
"I knew you were a useless brat..."
The abrupt insult left Gul momentarily confused. He stammered, wanting to speak, but couldn't utter a word.
"However, it doesn't matter. I had long anticipated that you would be trash, so I left a little gadget on the mainland block 01289 in area four. Go retrieve it, and then make sure to fatten up your little toy for me!!!"
The mysterious person's tone grew sharper, and in the end, he nearly roared his threats.
"This time! If you fail again! Trust me, I will crush you into nothing!!!"
"Clack~~~"
The communicator was hung up. Little Gul stood still for a moment, then staggered back to the sofa, crawling back to his bed like a corpse. He stared up at the ceiling, seemingly sensing that his greatest "backing" was not as "kind and trustworthy" as he had thought.
Meanwhile, Wen Yu lay on his bed, slowly narrowing his eyes.
This call completely validated Wen Yu's suspicions about the mysterious person...
Describing him as an "insider" was not accurate, because this mysterious person had never intended to betray Earth, harm Beijing, or plunge the entire world into adversity.
He was not a traitor to this world.
Indeed, one cannot ignore a fact—the mysterious person's support for this "resistance army" was a foolish decision that contradicted his apparent intelligence.
With the quantity and quality of the demonic clan on Earth, coupled with Little Gul's abilities, it would be utterly illogical for this resistance army to truly cause trouble in the Layered Battlefield— even with Wen Yu's covert help, it would take decades for this resistance force to defeat the Void Fleet in area three, assuming the Void Fleet did not expand.
Indeed, compared to local forces, Little Gul's resistance army was akin to an ant. Any commander from Beijing or any clan leader of mutated beasts could eliminate Little Gul's force with just a word.
The so-called resistance army was merely a façade—a lie that allowed Little Gul to quietly and secretly cultivate the baru demon beast maternal body.
The mysterious person's goal was the same as Wen Yu’s.
They were both eyeing the baru demon beast...
Thinking of this, Wen Yu abruptly got up, tidied himself quickly, then pushed open the door and arrived at Little Gul's room.
"Knock knock knock~~"
Accompanied by the knocking sound, Wen Yu's voice simultaneously reached Gul's ears.
"What is it? I think I heard something."
"Creak."
Before Little Gul could respond, Wen Yu pushed the door open. The moment he entered, Little Gul's expression changed instantly.
From feelings of frustration and pessimism, he suddenly transformed into a radiant smile.
"Uncle, Baru is saved!"
Seeing that brilliant smile, Wen Yu's breath caught for a moment.
"Uncle, that unknown big brother just called me. I told him about the baru demon beast, and he gave me a lot of things."
"Uncle, the problem is solved..."
"Uncle..."
...
The next day, as dawn broke, Wen Yu and Little Gul exited the base.
The two avoided the gazes of others and found the transport ship that Lei had parked at the edge of the mainland block.
"Welcome, both of you."
Upon entering the transport ship, after just a few steps, Wen Yu and Gul saw Lei. With a big smile, Lei hugged both of them one by one, and then the three found seats and sat down. As Lei set the coordinates, he spoke to Little Gul.
"The transportation work has been going very smoothly lately. I'm planning to buy three more transport ships, so our work efficiency will triple."
"Also, this time our target is the mainland block 01289 in area four, right?"
