Chapter 411: The Skrull Retaliation
Tina's bright red lips put immense pressure on Su Yu. This pressure was no less intense than when the Renkete Alliance's god-tier psychic, Styme, locked onto him with his mental powers, and in some ways, it was even more intense!
Su Yu gritted his teeth, determined to push Tina away. But just as he was about to do so, a sudden noise came from the shadows of the apartment building's hallway.
Su Yu froze, quickly scanning the area with his psychic senses. To his surprise, he found a tall, military-clad woman standing in the hallway. It was none other than his old friend, Xue Wenli.
"Sorry, sorry for interrupting you two," Xue Wenli said apologetically as she stepped out of the shadows.
Tina's eyes widened in shock. Her face turned beet red as she quickly pulled away from Su Yu, like a frightened rabbit. "I'll leave you two to talk. I'm going now," she stammered, then flew up high into the sky, soaring to the ninth floor and slipping into Su Yu's open window.
Su Yu let out a sigh of relief, though he couldn't help but feel a bit flustered.
Seeing Tina "escape," Xue Wenli gave Su Yu a sly look. "Wow! You've even brought her into the real world? When are you planning to get married? Wait, what about the queen who always values you so much in the game?"
Su Yu rolled his eyes, not bothering to respond.
Instead, he asked, "Xue Wenli, what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in the capital?"
"Of course it's because of you!" Xue Wenli crossed her arms, her eyes filled with a mix of longing and annoyance. "When you go to the capital, I follow. When you come back, I naturally fly back as soon as possible."
"But you didn't have to be so rushed, did you? It's only been a day," Su Yu scratched his head. "Besides, couldn't we have talked on the phone? Why did you have to come to my place in person? Wait, is there something important?"
Su Yu's expression suddenly turned serious. In the past, Xue Wenli had always contacted him by phone, rarely meeting in person. Her sudden visit made him wonder if something significant had happened that required his immediate attention.
Xue Wenli hesitated, unsure of how to respond. She had come to Su Yu's place because her organization had assigned her a task—getting close to him, essentially seducing him. This task had previously been given to Zhong Feng's sister, Zhong Luoluo (Snowflake), but Zhong Luoluo had fallen behind in the game due to her teaching commitments and then ended up in the Rayn Empire, making it nearly impossible to see Su Yu. Additionally, being a shy girl, she had failed the mission.
Now, the organization had decided to send Xue Wenli to take over. After all, Xue Wenli often spoke to Su Yu on the phone, and they were already familiar with each other. The organization also thought it was time for Xue Wenli, who was 26, to settle down.
Thus, they had instructed her to meet Su Yu in person more often and ideally develop a romantic relationship. Xue Wenli had initially wanted to refuse the assignment, but for some reason, she had agreed and found herself at Su Yu's doorstep, only to witness his intimate moment with Tina.
Of course, she couldn't tell Su Yu the real reason for her visit. She couldn't just say, "The organization sent me to seduce you," right?
Seeing Su Yu's serious expression, she decided to be more straightforward.
Xue Wenli pulled out two files from her brown handbag and said solemnly, "I did come here for two important reasons!"
"First, have you noticed that the number of ghosts created by the Skrulls on Blue Star is decreasing?"
"Ah, that's right," Su Yu recalled.
He nodded and said, "Indeed, the number of ghosts has significantly decreased."
While he had been exploring the area with Tina, he had also taken the opportunity to eliminate any ghosts they encountered. However, this time, he had come across far fewer ghosts than usual. Normally, he would encounter around thirty ghosts in a single night, but this time, he only saw six.
"Could it be that the 'Spirit Finder' has been successfully developed, and it's the reason for the decrease?" Su Yu asked, hopeful.
"No," Xue Wenli shook her head. "The 'Spirit Finder' was just completed and won't be operational until this afternoon."
"Then what's the reason for the decrease in ghosts?" Su Yu's eyes narrowed.
"Based on our analysis, the decrease in ghosts is because the Skrulls are conserving their psychic energy for a major offensive. It's likely a retaliation for your successful assassination of their council leader on Skrull Prime," Xue Wenli explained, handing over a file to Su Yu.
Su Yu opened the file and examined the pages, which contained close-up photos of Skrull bases. According to these photos, the "Monster Factories" in each Skrull base had ceased producing ghosts, and the "Psychic Energy Storage Stations" were no longer transporting energy to Skrull Prime. Instead, the Skrulls were extracting all their psychic energy and transporting it to the "Psychic Energy Collection Plants" to create larger, more powerful monsters.
It seemed that Su Yu had truly angered them. They had changed their war strategy and were now taking more aggressive measures to seek revenge.
From the photos, each "Monster Factory" was producing monsters that were 60 to 80 meters tall, resembling the monsters from "Ultraman" and "Godzilla."
Su Yu knew that, given the Skrulls' intelligence, they wouldn't release the monsters one by one like in "The Seven Heroes Save Grandpa" or "Ultraman" episodes. That would be far too foolish. Instead, they would coordinate a time to release all the monsters at once!
Currently, the Skrulls controlled 3,730 psychic energy springs globally. If all 3,730 Skrull bases released their monsters simultaneously, it would be a catastrophic event for humanity!
...
Of course, this catastrophe was still some time away.
The Skrull bases needed to enhance the monsters to the Sixth Rank Holy Domain to make them immune to the damage from large-scale nuclear and hydrogen bombs. Even if the Skrulls used all their psychic energy to create these monsters, it would take at least a month for a small spring to produce a Sixth Rank Holy Domain monster.
However, this was a critical issue that required his full attention. Su Yu nodded seriously at Xue Wenli.
"I understand. In the coming days, Tina and I will work together, and once Morning Star is resurrected, the three of us will do our best to capture Skrull bases and reclaim the psychic energy springs!"
There were currently 3,730 Skrull bases, but only around 770 of them were commanded by Sixth Rank Holy Domain or higher Skrulls. Many of the smaller springs were overseen by commanders with Fourth or Fifth Rank strength.
With Su Yu, Tina, and Morning Star's combined power, they should be able to reclaim multiple springs.
"Understood," Xue Wenli said solemnly. "I'll report back to the Blue Star United Government and provide you with as much support as possible. If you need anything, let me know immediately!"
"Got it!"
