Chapter 138: Proactive Response

On the laptop was Chu Xiaolu's full-body examination report. In the doctor's summary report, one item was specially marked with the words "intact hymen".

What angered Zhou Yuan the most was that the hypnotic drug that poisoned Chu Xiaolu's internal organs was used twelve times in half a day. Each time, Chu Xiaolu would involuntarily reveal some "secrets" of humankind in her hallucination, such as technology, military affairs, and society.

Of course, the most leaked information concerned Zhou Yuan. The hypnotist wrote in his summary: "Zhou Yuan seems to have a magical power over this girl. Before each dose of medication, she would ask him about him. As I gradually entered her inner world, I realized she was naive and ignorant. Even in her hallucinations, I struggled to obtain information about humanity because her mind was filled with images of Zhou Yuan. Judging from her reactions, Zhou Yuan is exceptional and a leader of human civilization. If we could control Zhou Yuan, we could control humanity." Upon reading this, Zhou Yuan was alarmed.

This wasn't what alarmed Zhou Yuan the most. What truly terrified him was the letter written by the owner of the laptop, the short, refined man, to Balatu at the end of the data summary!

"Lord Balatu, as per your orders and instructions, I have secretly kidnapped Chu Xiaolu. From her, we obtained much important data and information about Zhou Yuan and humanity on Earth. Please see the summary above for relevant data and information. In addition, we also obtained technological creations of humanity on Earth, such as bracelets, swords, and doors. These items will be placed in a briefcase along with this notebook. I will deliver the briefcase to our Eagle Eye base tomorrow morning, and then Morian will hand it over to you. Sincerely, Tulash."

Zhou Yuan carefully considered the events that had taken place in the capital of the planet Amos, and broke out in a cold sweat.

From the night's operation and this letter, Zhou Yuan obtained a lot of astonishing information and deductions. First, Baratu had planted many Amos spies on the planet Amos, and there was also a military base in the suburbs of the Amos capital. Second, although Baratu was outwardly friendly, he had long suspected him and might have been secretly investigating him. Now, he was using the Amos spies to get to Chu Xiaolu, hoping to find out some important secrets about Zhou Yuan and Earth's humanity. Third, Zhou Yuan remembered that when he met with Baratu more than twenty days ago, he said that Chu Xiaolu was the best of the best and that he had been intimate with her every night. If Chu Xiaolu's full-body examination report showed "intact hymen," and Baratu found out, how would Zhou Yuan cover up his lie? At the very least, the time he spent laughing with the twelve "consuls" would have been a lie. Zhou Yuan knew that if Balatu discovered that Zhou Yuan had deceived him time and time again, Balatu was probably capable of anything. In the end, the warship at the "Eagle Eye Base" was destroyed by the small warship piloted by Wei Shan and Lefia. Although the Adams government could keep the secret, if Balatu investigated, the Adams government and humanity on Earth would be implicated.

Although Zhou Yuan was alarmed, he remained calm and analyzed the situation while also thinking of strategies to deal with Balatu.

No, this is very complicated. I need to hear Wei Shan and Lefia's opinions; maybe they have some good ideas. Zhou Yuan thought to himself.

"Ladies, I'm sorry to disturb your rest. Could you please come to my office?"

"Big brother, aren't you going to rest?"

“I’m looking at information on my laptop. Things are a bit complicated. We’re in trouble. You two will find out when you get here.”

"Okay, let's go there now."

With a flash of light, the two landed beside Zhou Yuan's office desk.

"Brother, you don't look well, what's wrong?"

"Take a look, you two." Zhou Yuan connected his laptop to two holographic displays. Wei Shan and Lefia watched quietly. The holographic displays moved with their eyes, and when their eyes reached the bottom of the display, the holographic displays automatically scrolled down or paginated.

Zhou Yuan noticed that Wei Shan and Lefia also looked alarmed, and their expressions changed constantly.

Wei Shan and Lefia quickly finished reading it.

"I never imagined that Balatu was so treacherous and cunning." Wei Shan was furious, her face turning pale. If Balatu were here, Zhou Yuan had no doubt that Wei Shan would have given him a good beating.

"Sister Shan, don't get agitated. Remember we're still on the battlefield, where deceit and treachery are commonplace. On the other hand, Balatu is a master of intrigue, so we must be constantly on guard against him." Lefia, as a princess of the Star Luo Empire, seemed to have seen it all and was naturally not as easily agitated as Wei Shan.

"Ya Mei, what do you think we should do next?"

"Baltu definitely knows that we destroyed the Hawkeye base warship. The Adams government can't stop this, and Adams can't cover it up either. Tulash is delaying in giving Baltu a reply or reporting back. Sooner or later, Baltu will find out something is wrong, and it can't be hidden anymore. Therefore, we need to deal with this proactively and wisely, either by calming Baltu down or by leaving him speechless."

"Yes, you're right. We need to plan and strategize carefully."

"Big brother," Lefia moved closer to Zhou Yuan, "what about Xiaolu?"

"Xiaolu?" Zhou Yuan was stunned. He understood that Lefia was asking about the "intact hymen" issue.

"We have to keep a close eye on Xiaolu and prevent her from encountering any more danger."

"Okay, from now on, Xiaolu will always be with me and Sister Shan."

"No way? I protest."

"Protest denied." Wei Shan and Lefia said in unison.

Zhou Yuan stood up, put his arms around Wei Shan and Leifia on either side of her, and gently kissed them on the cheek. "Look, where do I have a third hand?"

"Hmm, it seems so. But the Empire's technology is advanced, how about I give you another hand?" Wei Shan said with a grin.

"Okay, six arms would be best, then it would be an octopus."

"You two are really something. You should think about whether your claws will get chopped off by Balatu first," Lefia said, getting to the point.

"Ya Mei, do you have any good ideas?"

"Eagle Eye Base, we must take it down. That place should be a secret military outpost that Balatu has planted on the planet Amos. Here's what we'll do: get the Adams government involved, let them know that this dangerous base exists, and then the Adams government will definitely ask us to fight against or eliminate them. I wonder if those few Amos fighter jets tonight have discovered Eagle Eye Base. If the Adams government hasn't discovered it yet, then we'll 'guide' them to discover this threatening Eagle Eye Base."

"Well, let's pretend we don't know it's Balatu's, and take advantage of the Adams government's invitation to take down Hawkeye Base as soon as possible. Ideally, we should get Hawkeye Base's warships to attack Adams government aircraft or warships, so our intervention will be more legitimate."

"What about Xiaolu?"

"Whether Xiaolu stays with you two or stays at the special forces base, it'll only be a year. Once we complete our mission, Balatu will be down. In any case, Balatu will definitely suspect us, so be careful of him in the future. Maybe we'll just break off relations and go to war with them. The next time hyperspace is unlocked, I'll contact George and have him prepare Tianxing II for battle."

"Brother, don't rush. Keep Balatu calm and try to buy him time. Balatu is eager for heavy elements, so he shouldn't push you too hard. If necessary, you can speed up the mining and refining process and give him more heavy elements. These heavy elements are his lifeline."

"Shan, your idea is excellent. We've got the heavy element, Balatu's lifeline. If we can't deliver on time, Kelly will definitely kill Balatu, and Balatu clearly knows that. So let's take down Eagle Eye Base now."

"it is good."

Wei Shan and Leifia left Zhou Yuan's office and began deploying their forces.

"Sir, what brings you here so late?"

"Adams, during our patrol of the planet Amos tonight, we discovered an advanced alien warship, and our patrol vessel engaged in a firefight with it."

"Sir, I received a call from the hotline. I just saw the Air Force Commander's official report, and I have already assigned the Planetary Defense Minister to go there."

"What measures will you take next?"

Adams was silent for a moment. "Sir, we discovered a secret base more than 200 kilometers away from the site. It appears to be a military base."

"seem?"

"Yes. But it's not our military base."

"Not yours? Our patrol boat did discover a base over there and assumed it was yours. If we had known it wasn't yours, we could have destroyed it."

"We are already dispatching our most advanced fighter jets and bombers to that base, and nuclear missile launches are on standby. We are also urgently evacuating residents in the vicinity of the base to prevent innocent people from being harmed."

“Okay. Adams, do you need our help? To be honest, I don’t think your armed forces are necessarily capable of taking on that base.”

"Yes, sir, that is exactly what we are worried about. For so many years, we have not been able to find that base. Their technology must be far more advanced than ours. Therefore, I certainly hope that you can help us."

"Alright. Here's what we'll do. I'll send a small covert fleet to the base. Just do what you need to do for now, and if you can't handle it, the covert fleet will assist you. But make sure there are no of your people within fifty kilometers of the base."

"clear."

After severing secret communications with Adams, Zhou Yuan immediately ordered a small fleet to secretly proceed to Eagle Eye Base, the capital of Planet Amos.

Shortly after issuing the order, Zhou Yuan was about to take a break when he received a video call request from Chu Tianxiong, the fleet base commander.

"Tianxiong, what is it?"

"Sir, as per your instructions, a small covert fleet has already departed for Planet Amos. I apologize for disturbing your rest. However, the matter is exceptionally urgent."

"what happened?"

"We have just detected a massive interstellar fleet traveling through warp space, heading towards us, or rather, towards the planet Amos?"

"Tianxiong, you guessed right. This fleet is probably preparing to support Eagle Eye Base."

"Sir, if we go against this massive fleet, wouldn't that be openly going against Balatu?"

"Yes, we need to make some careful plans. How long until this fleet arrives?"

"About six hours."

Six hours?

While Zhou Yuan was thinking, an emergency communication channel suddenly requested communication. This channel was, of course, the "hotline" between Zhou Yuan and Balatu's "consuls," and the "hotline" requesting communication now belonged to Balatu!

"Tianxiong, Balatu just requested a communication. I'll hang up now. Quickly gather the senior commanders of the fleet base and the personnel of the Science Department. We'll have a meeting as soon as Balatu and I finish our communication."

"receive."

Zhou Yuan quickly turned on the "hotline," his mind racing, already preparing his response to Balatu.
