Chapter 989: Chapter 284: The Final Calm (Part 4)
At least the direction of handling Zuo Jing is correct for now; we must start from these few places.
All Chen Ming can do now is wait.
Wait for the combat strength of the Fifth Legion to arrive.
Wait for them to find Zuo Jing’s true location.
Wait for the start of a full-scale offensive on Zuo Jing.
Wait for the civil war to truly break out.
Wait until An Wuping’s spaceship reaches its destination.
At least An Wuping’s ship is indeed heading towards the destination right now.
Before ending the communication.
Chen Ming asked the president one last question: "How should we act once Zuo Jing’s location is confirmed?"
Chen Ming doesn’t know much about the Fifth Legion, nor the president’s style, so he asked this question.
The president’s answer was quite simple: "It’s all down to luck. If we’re lucky, it could be resolved within five minutes after confirming the location."
"If not... Then Psychics might have to sacrifice themselves. Not everyone can survive a dimensional infection."
The communication with the president ended.
Chen Ming also had nothing to do for the time being.
Although he had fleets on standby in four star systems.
But he couldn’t risk being besieged by fleets from across the entire star system, nor face the risk of Zuo Jing going mad when cornered.
He could only wait for the Fifth Legion to respond, and for the president to finish his tasks and give a final conclusion.
Chen Ming could notice the continuous inflow of organized fleets belonging to the Fifth Legion into those four star systems.
Even in Superspace, more and more Fifth Legion fleets were ready at a moment’s notice.
The atmosphere in the four star systems had become purely one of killing intent.
Time passed faster than Chen Ming had imagined.
A few hours went by in the blink of an eye.
Although the tension in the star systems seemed ready to ignite, the right moment for this trigger never presented itself.
Both the Fifth Legion and those other fleets that dared to remain at the edges due to the Legion’s power seemed to be waiting for something.
Chen Ming felt as if his mind was teetering at its limits, ready to snap at any moment from the tension.
But at this instant, he suddenly noticed An Wuping’s spaceship start to decelerate, as though it was nearing its destination.
Based on the surrounding cosmic environment, Chen Ming could confirm although he was not directly in one of those four star systems, he was very close to them.
Zuo Jing couldn’t really have sent him to the most critical place; at such times, he’d surely be used as bait.
Chen Ming had nothing to say, controlling An Wuping, quietly watched the terminal.
Even if it wasn’t Chen Ming’s own terminal, he could see fragmented news about Cai Mo Star Realm.
However, these messages were quickly disappearing, as Cai Mo Star Realm was rapidly becoming a world isolated from the outside.
An Wuping’s expression gradually became calm, yet seemed tinged with despair.
Through surveillance, Thousand Faces, who was peering at An Wuping, picked up a terminal and contacted his old acquaintance, saying: "We’re almost at the place and An Wuping seems to have resigned himself."
The terminal quickly responded: "The Host says he has already used his Spiritual Energy; go check on him, you might have a chance."
"Understood."
Thousand Faces stood up and headed towards An Wuping’s room.
Chen Ming was still flipping through the terminal, which now lacked many information sources; he mainly looked at the evidence Thousand Faces left and the numerous bounties.
Chen Ming even spent money to put up a bounty on An Wuping himself.
When Thousand Faces entered, he happened to see the bounty information displayed on An Wuping’s terminal.
Thousand Faces didn’t probe An Wuping directly, only said: "We’re at the location, get ready to work. I hope you don’t violate our collaboration terms."
An Wuping resignedly asked, "What do you want me to do?"
"See for yourself."
