Chapter 1461: Second Encounter (Part 2)

“Two months and ten days ago, the Balu Monster main body contracted an illness I didn’t recognize, and its efficiency in absorbing energy decreased fourfold. Sir, the number of medicinal potions you gave me might not be enough to catalyze the Balu Monster main body to its peak state…”

Little Guer hesitantly said these words, while Wen Yu sharply noticed the Mysterious Man’s breathing on the other end of the communicator suddenly sped up twice.

“I knew it…”

“Hm?”

“I knew you were a waste of space…”

The sudden harsh words left Guer bewildered. He mumbled, wanting to speak, but couldn’t manage a single sentence.

“But it doesn’t matter, I’ve long anticipated you being trash. So in District 4 on Mainland Bloc Number 01289, I left a little something behind. Go retrieve it and fatten up your little toy for me!”

The Mysterious Man’s tone grew sharper, and by the end, he was almost roaring his threats.

“This time! If you fail again! Trust me, I will pulverize you until there’s nothing left!”

“Clatter~~~”

The communicator was hung up, Little Guer stood frozen for a moment, then staggered back to the sofa, placing the communicator back on the coffee table. He crawled back onto his bed like a zombie, eyes fixed on the ceiling, seeming to realize that his greatest “support” wasn’t as amiable and trustworthy as he had thought.

Meanwhile, Wen Yu lay on his own bed, slowly squinting his eyes.

This call fully confirmed Wen Yu’s suspicions about the Mysterious Man…

Labeling him as an “Insider” isn’t quite fitting since this Mysterious Man never intended to betray Earth, harm Yanjing, or put the entire world at a disadvantage.

He’s not a traitor to this world.

Indeed, we can’t ignore a fact—the Mysterious Man nurturing this “Rebel Army” is completely contrary to the intelligence he portrays; a foolhardy decision.

Given the quantity and quality of the Demon Tribe on Earth, coupled with Little Guer’s abilities, claiming this Rebel Army could truly trouble the tiered battle ground is utterly unreasonable—even with Wen Yu’s overt and covert assistance, the Rebel Army forces would need decades to defeat the Void Battle Fleet of District 3, and that’s assuming the fleet doesn’t expand.

Indeed, compared to the native forces, Little Guer’s Rebel Army is like Ants. Any corps commander from Yanjing or tribe leader of the mutant beast tribe could crush Little Guer’s forces with a mere word.

The so-called Rebel Army is just a facade—a deceptive ploy to let Little Guer quietly, stealthily, peacefully nurture the Balu Monster main body.

The Mysterious Man’s goal is no different from Wen Yu’s.

Both of them have set their eyes on the Balu Monster…

At this thought, Wen Yu suddenly stood up, quickly tidied himself, then opened the door and went to Little Guer’s door.

“Knock knock~~”

With the knocking, Wen Yu’s voice simultaneously reached Guer’s ears.

“What’s wrong? I seemed to hear some noises.”

“Creak.”

Before Little Guer could speak, Wen Yu pushed the door open, and immediately saw Little Guer’s expression change.

From the previous despondency and pessimism, it instantly transformed into a bright smile.

“Uncle, Balu is saved!”

Seeing that radiant smile, Wen Yu’s breath involuntarily hitched.

“Uncle, that unknown guy just called me; I mentioned the Balu Monster to him, and he gave me a lot more goods.”

“Uncle, the problem is solved…”

“Uncle…”

…

The next day, just at dawn, Wen Yu and Little Guer left the base together.

Avoiding others’ gaze, they found the transport ship Ray had previously parked at the edge of the mainland bloc.

“Welcome, both of you.”

Entering the transport ship, Wen Yu and Guer saw Ray after only taking a few steps. With a wide smile, Ray embraced each of them before they found seats. He then set the coordinates while speaking to Little Guer.

“The transport work has been going smoothly lately, I’m planning to buy three more transport ships. That way, our work progress can speed up threefold.”

“Also, this time, our target is in District 4 on Mainland Bloc Number 01289, right?”

“Indeed.”

“Yes, thanks to the smuggling operation, this journey should be free of dangers. So, relax and enjoy this adventurous trip.”

Ray said with a smile to Guer, then activated the transport ship. Alongside the engine’s roar, the ship sped up and disappeared into the Void.

The distance between tiered battle ground mainland blocs isn’t small, but the transport ship developed by Yanjing is extremely fast; within just an hour, the ship carrying the three of them had reached the target location.

A wasteland mainland bloc strikingly similar to Mainland Bloc Number 01864 in District 3.

The three disembarked from the transport ship one after another, and under Little Guer’s guidance, they quickly found the coordinates given by the Mysterious Man.

“Boom!”

With flames erupting from Ray’s hands, the ground was blasted open, exposing a small iron chest to the three’s view.

Little Guer jumped into the pit first, opened the iron chest, and took out three space rings. He quickly inspected them and nodded towards Wen Yu and Ray.

“The quantity is sufficient; it’s more than five times the last batch.”

Upon hearing this, Wen Yu nodded expressionlessly, while Ray couldn’t help but show a surprised expression.

To prepare such a large number of materials within a day is no easy feat—Ray, at least, couldn’t solve this issue.

This also indicates that this “Insider” has a status, capability, and influence far exceeding Ray!

At the same time, Ray also knows well how much Wen Yu detests traitors—it’s merely a natural reaction from a person of high status towards betrayers…

Of course, Ray is unaware of Wen Yu’s thoughts on this ‘Insider’ from last night; he only felt a slight surprise before returning to normal. Once Guer had kept the three space rings, the three returned to the transport ship.

They started the transport ship, set the automatic navigation route, and once Ray had completed it all, he turned his head to look at Wen Yu and Guer.

Wen Yu sat in his seat, holding a tablet and watching something, while Guer had unknowingly fallen asleep.

“Sir…”

Ray understood Wen Yu had used some means; he stood up and approached Wen Yu, who merely gestured for silence while pointing at the tablet.

“Look at this.”

Ray lowered his head, glancing down to see a clear picture on the tablet.

The location, marked as the recent “treasure site.”

While the timeline showed it was two months prior…
