Chapter 378: (EDT) Feline Emperor (2)
Like the Vermilion Empress of the east, the Feline Emperor was the flagship meant for the west. It was also one of the four colossal-class vessels hidden after the fund was cut off from continuing working on it.
The West Strand Division had actually invested quite a sum in repairing and maintaining the ship to ensure this colossal-class vessel was fit to run again. And in return, it was proven to be a wise choice when they found out that the ship was as fierce as its name.
Came around 700m before deployment length, the Feline Emperor was designed to carry over twenty different weaponry to face all kinds of opponents. From speedy vessels to fortified ones, air defenses to fortress, the Feline Emperor can go against all of them at once.
But this was not its feature. Suppose the Vermilion Empress' feature was to deploy into a base on a whim. In that case, the Feline Emperor's feature is undoubtedly its ability to divide itself into two.
The Feline Emperor is capable of separating into two halves if necessary. From a 700m vessel, it could divide itself into two 400m battlecruiser-class while keeping the ability to take down an entire country.
Furthermore, there's another side feature that cannot be ignored.
This vessel came with a self-repairing and maintenance system, which is a feature that was only applied to space technology during the pre-apocalypse era.

"I disagree with this suggestion. The Feline Emperor was our secret weapon against the Northern's fleet. Without this protector, our base would definitely get wiped out from the northern side of this continent for sure," said the first female member.
"I hate to say I agree with what she just said, and sending the Feline Emperor away might spell defeat to our northern forces." said the first male member. Amongst all of them, he looked pretty concerned with the topic related to the Feline Emperor.
"Can't we just increase the number of people over there and fortify our defenses? This should be a simple task, based on the number of slaves and division members we had." said the second male member with the appearance of Hoya.
"Everyone, let's not ruin the harmony between us and discuss this slowly. It's not like we're out of time to decide. The second female member interrupted.
"Fine. Let's calmly talk about this matter. I still find it impossible for this Wind Base Group to catch up to our level that quickly. Instead, I suggest we strengthen our defense over Turbine Town and expect them to come for it." said the third male member who almost stirred the hornet nest in this meeting.
"And what do you suggest?" the second male member with Hoya's appearance asked.
"Let's send one more Linebarrel Tank to the south along with the prototype power-delivery pack we designed recently. I'm sure it would serve as a perfect field test for our future military expansion." the third male member added.
He chuckled after finishing what was in his mind. And it seems that everyone else was caught in his scheme to agree with what he had in mind.

"Boss, please allow us to get a blood sample from you to check if there's a possible infection on you." asked one of the medical officers on this vessel. There was a hint of stuttering from his words like he was worried about pissing Zhang Qin Feng off.
Although this was part of his responsibility, it doesn't fully protect him from Zhang Qin Feng's wrath if he poured his anger on this weak medical specialist.
But what surprises Zhang Qin Feng is not about his work attitude, but how quickly the news that he was bitten by Satella was leaked to the crews on board this ship. It seems that they're a little dissatisfied with Zhang Qin Feng's decision to bring Satella aboard the vessel.
"You don't need to worry about this. Just leave me in this officer's quarter and continue with your work. Your superior, Valerian, and Carol will be responsible for this when we return to the Vermilion Empress." said Zhang Qin Feng.
"I understand. Since you have already made up your mind, then please excuse me," the medical officer that spoke to him excused himself. There's no point for him to keep insisting if Zhang Qin Feng was unwilling to cooperate.
A week later, the ship finally returned to their base.
While the 004, 006, 008, and 010 parked on their designated hangar, the 002 were docked at another hanger. This was done as a precaution to prevent the Seed Crystal Virus from infecting all healthy individuals present on this colossal-class vessel.
Valerian and Carol came running as they immediately ran a blood test on all the crews, including Zhang Qin Feng and Satella. The report turned out to be negative on all the ship crews, including Zhang Qin Feng himself.
But unfortunately, Satella was the only one exposed to the virus. To make it worst, a high concentration on top of that.
As for Alex's condition, nothing can be done right now except fabricating a new physical body for him. The process might be simple to the local residents, but this was the first for Alex.
Shaun was also offered to fabricate a new and healthier body, and he accepted it straight away. But there's nothing they can do for Queenie, as she can be said to be mentally dead in her medical report.
Even the state of art technology wouldn't be able to do anything to bring her back. Her current situation is no different from waiting for her to breathe her last before her body is entirely petrified by the Blood Petrification Disease.
"It's alright, Boss… We'll make sure that nothing about big sister Satella is missing as we back up her mind. Have faith in us." Valerian said as she hugged Zhang Qin Feng from behind. She knew that Satella would be going through the same ordeal as Queenie soon.
Although she's yet to be zombified, her body is behaving no different as the body's metabolism has started to change. The stench is beginning to appear on her body as the Seed Crystal Virus spreads all over her body.
