From BOSS to Canon Fodder: She is Currently Out of Service!-Chapter 144 - 74: Crisis of the Qiming Star (Part 2)

"I fully agree with that perspective. I never want to come to this place again for the rest of my life..."

Hua Yanluo slightly tilted her head to look back in the direction they came from, and suddenly recalled the expression on Su Jiameng’s face before she left, feeling a bit uneasy. She initially thought it was a simple escort mission, but who knew the contents of the black box would warrant such high-level official attention!

Just hoping... nothing goes wrong. However, these people are too bold, actually setting up such a dangerous laboratory on Qiming Star! If something goes awry, wouldn’t those students and ordinary residents suffer?

Moreover, both the Human Alliance and other interstellar alliances explicitly state that research facilities containing hazardous projects should not be established in populous and bustling areas. Qiming Star, being the home of the Xilena First Affiliated School, already holds special significance... How could they be so reckless? If something goes wrong, who will step up to take responsibility?

"Lieutenant General, do you know what’s inside that box?" Liu Shiyi asked in a low voice.

The thoughts of the three were aligned; if any problem arose, the entire planet’s students would be in danger! They just wanted to know what dangerous creature was in the box so they could be mentally prepared. If it was too dangerous, they must report and apply to terminate the research!

Li You’s eyes glimmered with a hint of danger, "I don’t know. Neither the Admiral nor the Marshal showed any other intentions regarding it. But one thing is certain: a creature that piques the interest of these madmen is definitely not benign!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Shiyi’s face looked a bit grim. But Li You added, "The defense measures of this research base are very strong, making the likelihood of a dangerous creature escaping and endangering ordinary people very small. Otherwise, how could it have existed on Qiming Star for four or five hundred years?"

Four or five hundred years? Liu Shiyi and Hua Yanluo froze briefly. They were both graduates of the Xilena First Affiliated School and had never thought that such a dangerous forbidden zone with a gaping maw existed so close to the school!

After leaving the underground secret research facility and making a simple report on the mission, the three of them packed up and headed home.

As the only married man among them, Liu Shiyi picked out a gift for his wife before going home to make up for breaking his promise.

Hua Yanluo’s family lived on another planet, and since she was currently single, nobody cared where she went for relaxation.

Li You, being a Lieutenant General, still had a lot of work unfinished, so he changed into casual clothes and went to the Xilena First Affiliated School after finishing his tasks.

At the deepest point of the underground secret research facility, in the data testing room with the highest level of defense, a group of researchers clad in lab attire hurried back and forth. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

A transparent defense glass partitioned off a small space, where a round floating platform held a pitch-black stubborn stone being scanned by various psychic detectors.

Many stern-faced people stared at the instrument display screens, holding their breath. To their gratification, after using a series of physical and chemical stimuli, the previously static mental wave on the screen trembled slightly.

Even such a tiny fluctuation made the group show expressions of excitement, their faces flushed!

They waited quietly, anticipating the mental waves to continue rising, fluctuating!

The elderly scientist who had previously spoken with Li You beamed with energy, issuing a series of orders to his assistants to continue life stimulation, ensuring that this beautiful creature awakened fully. Only then would another half-completed research of his succeed! That study would become a milestone leading human evolution!

As the mental wave grew stronger, suddenly reaching a peak, the scientist exclaimed excitedly, "Success!"

Su Jiameng had slept deeply, with every cell in her body clamoring with comfort. She smiled slightly, as if dreaming of something pleasant. After a while, threads of light shimmered before her eyes, quickly rousing her from her light sleep and opening her drowsy eyes.

"Mm—such a comfortable sleep!" She sat up and stretched lazily, instinctively reaching to touch the two eggs under the quilt.

However, something unsettling occurred—she couldn’t find the two children!

After a few moments, her mind finally cleared, and she thought of a reasonable explanation, furrowing her brow and muttering, "These two kids are too mischievous. Getting up early to play hide and seek, once I catch them, they’ll certainly be reprimanded."

Getting up and putting on her shoes, she suddenly realized that everything around her seemed a bit shorter. Turning to look around the room, her brow furrowed deeply.

This room... all the furnishings were different from before she slept...

Just as she prepared to take defensive actions, the door swung open with a bang, and a young man with a handsome appearance rushed in. He was clad in a special task force outfit of the Alliance, equipped with many lethal weapons, his face clouded with gloom, "Mom, this place is about to fall. We must leave immediately!"

Su Jiameng stood dazed in place while the young man deftly pulled out various weapons from the room... Su Jiameng was dumbfounded. She had no idea her room contained so many dangerous weapons, and there were quite a few munitions under the bed.

"Fall?" Su Jiameng muttered, but her body seemed to act on its own, deftly assembling the weapons at a speed surpassing her peak capabilities. Meanwhile, the young man... wasn’t exactly weak!
