"The West is in chaos. Right now, the nearby Yukon and Faircan regions have already mobilized military forces for rescue, and other areas will arrive one after another. But I'm afraid it will be too late..." the adjutant said anxiously to the young officer in the control room.

Since receiving news of the insider in Weixi, they had been relaying the information to all departments without delay, but unfortunately, they were still a step too late. Several neighboring districts had been lured away from their own territory. The enemy wasn't targeting those protracted war zones at all; they had their sights set on Atlantis from the very beginning. They had spent nearly half a year laying the groundwork to capture Weixi at a suitable time and then, together with a series of resonance points, sever a hot war front.

This is no joke. Expanding any front in interstellar warfare is incredibly difficult. Every new front adds another layer of defense to the Empire, and its people gain a greater sense of security. The countless lines of defense painstakingly laid out by interstellar soldiers over millions of years form the Empire's impregnable wall, standing alongside trillions of stars in the universe to watch over the future of billions of humanity.

Perhaps some people will ask at this point: shouldn't the so-called battle lines be in the outer star regions or the chaotic boundaries of outer space? Why would relatively safe and stable permanent star systems also be involved in the battle line issue?

This is actually related to the principles of planetary and galactic motion. Some people may imagine the Alpha Universe as a ring-shaped structure, but in fact, the Alpha Universe is a constantly moving cluster of stars. None of the star clusters, galaxies, planets, planetary belts, or light belts are static; they are all constantly rotating, rising, and moving forward around their respective centers in some kind of pattern.

In other words, everything in the universe, including a single speck of dust, is constantly changing its position, so the battle lines are naturally not fixed either.

In reality, these battle lines expanded by humanity are less like front lines of war zones and more like border control lines specifically drawn by humanity to separate safe spaces, and their infinitely expanding extensions. The areas outside these battle lines are battlefields specifically opened up by humanity for fighting star beasts and external enemies, while the areas within the protection of these battle lines are habitable areas for humans.

Therefore, the battle lines are not fixed, but rather a "network" that gradually encircles the universe.

As the planets and celestial bodies move, these battle lines may go anywhere, whether it be to outer star systems, to the inner perimeter, or even to the central star system.

However, the closer to the center, the less likely the battle lines are to overlap. In the central star system, for example, there have only been two recorded instances of overlapping battle lines. The further outwards, especially near the edge of the universe, the more numerous and complex the battle lines become, constantly changing and requiring communication.

The rebels are now targeting a frontline of cyber warfare, which cannot be planned overnight. They have been plotting for a long time, making countless arrangements and preparations, from planting manpower to maneuvering their pieces, from seemingly unrelated chaotic events to a shocking revelation… their painstaking efforts are evident.

Even the theft of encrypted data from the Imperial database several years ago is inextricably linked to this incident, as that data was related to the Western Front.

Zongting's investigation, which began years ago when he inadvertently handled a case involving encrypted data and subsequently discovered other matters, revealed that countless events had revolved around a central theme, intricately connected. Now, the truth has finally surfaced: the rebels had orchestrated this entire scheme to seize control of the western front.

If they succeed, the space station outside the star system will be in danger. If they gain a foothold and accumulate strength, it is not impossible for them to point their finger at the central star system.

Those incompetent fools! They're busy with their own petty political infighting all day long, completely unaware that their inner workings have been almost thoroughly exposed. No wonder there have been so many accidents and leaks in the past decade, with carefully cultivated talents from various departments dying young... It's probably all their doing.

It's laughable that these rebels don't even know which side they're on.

"Marshal Zhou's troops have been dispatched and are likely near the Gamma Hippocampus Nebula. Should you wait—"

"No need, go directly to Weixi," Zong Ting said in a deep voice.

The adjutant bowed and was about to leave when he heard the other man ask, "How is he?"

he?
The adjutant immediately realized who the other person was talking about: "He has woken up, but it is possible that he received targeted energy radiation too frequently, leaving a memory in his body. Some special energy waves cannot be dissolved in his body on their own and require specialized treatment equipment."

"Let him rest well, we'll talk about it when we pass the military headquarters." "But...but—"

“He refused the therapist’s bridging therapy and said he wanted to go to Visi.”

the other side

Jiang Hui had no idea that her friend, whom she had always been thinking about, had finally been rescued.

The underground amusement park that was originally opened is now deserted. It is now a ruin, full of pits and craters, and littered with the corpses of those who died tragically here.

The external attacks from the star beasts never ceased, causing violent tremors and constant aftershocks below. Large amounts of sand and gravel fell, making it seem as if the entire structure could collapse at any moment.

The towering Wall-E, reaching tens of meters in height, appeared somewhat adrift and precarious as it moved through the space.

Jiang Hui carefully maneuvered her mecha through the now unrecognizable underground space, bracing herself for the possibility of being crushed to death by the collapse of the ceiling at any moment. Fortunately, it seemed the King of Hell wasn't planning to claim her life at this time.

The violent impact completely distorted the underground space, making it unrecognizable. Jiang Hui finally managed to locate the approximate position of the underground corridor based on her memory points.

The underground corridor wasn't structurally complex, and Jiang Hui quickly found the entrance to the right-hand passage, which was completely destroyed and beyond repair. Using the directions given by Jia Yidi, she located the vicinity of where the members of Class Two were currently trapped.

But none of that mattered. What truly horrified her were the mangled remains mixed in with the building debris, the stench of blood mingling with the smell of smoke, a scene of utter devastation and extreme cruelty.

Jiang Hui felt a rush of energy to her head, while a chill ran down her spine. She didn't even dare to look closely at the shattered faces, afraid of seeing a familiar one.

If she were to confront the tragic death of her classmate right before her eyes, she feared she wouldn't be able to bear it...

Jiang Hui shook her head repeatedly, trying to shake off her conflicting emotions and calm herself down.

Yes, she needs to contact them first to confirm their exact location and situation before rescuing them without damaging the spatial structure. Otherwise, someone might dig up the structure only to be killed instantly due to improper excavation.

"...Buzz...Can you hear me? It's me, Jiang Hui. Quickly check if you're nearby. Try to send a fixed signal. I need to dig you out."
