Chapter 358: 170 Losers

He had been played by another Pioneer!

Allison took a deep breath, quickly adjusted his train of thought, and kept calm as he continued to interrogate the third Pioneer.

Clearly, this was a failed Pioneer; the other party had actually lost to the original consciousness of this body during the integration.

Allison immediately connected to several keywords.

Civilization competition, survival of the strong, elimination of the weak.

He thought it necessary to delve into this civilization to gain an advantage in intelligence collection.

"All right," the male voice resonated once more in the woman’s earphones, "I need more information. As long as you cooperate, not only will I not harm you, but I will also offer you substantial rewards."

The young woman hastily nodded.

"I will, I will definitely cooperate."

...

Onboard the Feinan.

Yang Ming wore a somewhat complex expression as he gazed at the projection screen’s rendered image.

A failed Pioneer?

Had he lost to Hanton’s consciousness in their competition back then, would he have ended up like this?

Branded as delusional, a madman.

It was somewhat ironic.

"Boss, who would have thought that even a Pioneer could lose to a regular person from Galactic civilization!"

Lyu’s projection reappeared, murmuring,

"I thought the chosen Pioneers must have resolute and unwavering warriors."

"Your Patroller mentor said that the Pioneers were chosen randomly," Yang Ming shrugged, "How is the investigation over there coming along?"

Lyu pondered for a moment, "We can only roughly determine the other party’s location, somewhere in which district of Minter City, but we can’t pinpoint the equipment they’re using. Their technical team’s defenses are quite good."

"After all, that’s the New Federation, no need to overexert ourselves."

Yang Ming sipped the now-cold coffee at his lips.

This young girl mentioned a planet’s transliterated name, and it was also the first time Yang Ming heard the name of Earth’s competitor.

Semi Star.

A planet beautifully preserved by Semi civilization for thousands of years, only to be shattered in one game, with two natural satellites and an incredibly beautiful natural environment.

The young woman also said,

"I don’t know why I have so many memories, but I feel like...perhaps this planet is calling out for my help.

"I don’t know how to assist them; they’re under attack from evil forces. Maybe I should go to the International Court. In fact, I have sent several urgent emails without response.

"I’ve spent years searching for Semi Star and its external port, combed through half of the Milky Way map, searched one Administrative Star after another, but still couldn’t find the place... Is this real? The disaster on this planet?"

The virtual projection of the second Pioneer didn’t reply directly but fell into contemplation.

Yang Ming watched the scene, murmuring, "Will he kill to keep it quiet?"

"Impossible to judge," Lyu softly responded.

A deep male voice sighed from the projection screen of the second Pioneer, and the virtual figure disappeared.

Shortly after, some criminals received the message and dashed into the container.

One pulled out a laser pistol.

Onboard the Feinan, the first Pioneer, Yang Ming, frowned as he observed.

In Minter City, the second Pioneer, Allison, trembled slightly as he watched the small screen in front of him, witnessing the tearful plea of the young woman. He couldn’t bring himself to press the button that determined her fate.

She, too, had been innocently entangled in this;

She was even thinking of helping the planet she saw in her dreams.

The failed consciousness residing in her brain shared a nearly identical fate to his own; they should empathize with each other...

Allison’s fingers slowly moved away as he leaned back in his chair. For a moment, his strong-willed middle-aged face showed some tenderness and emotion.

He suddenly slapped his hand on the button.

Sorry.

For the sake of their civilization, he had no choice but to make this decision!

On the screen, the laser pistol fired a dark purple Light Bullet, leaving a bloody hole in the young woman’s forehead, her expression one of terror and disbelief.

Allison tightly closed his eyes.

At this moment, he suddenly felt this wasn’t just some game; the surrounding world was vibrant, vivid, and the red light on the roadside billboard was somewhat blinding.

"Congressman, we’re about to reach our destination."

Allison rubbed his face to regain composure, smiled, and said, "Drive a little slower."

"Okay, sir, please control your emotions."

"Got it," Allison replied impatiently, "You’re getting more and more verbose."

The aging driver could only manage a bitter smile.

...

The second Pioneer had taken out the third Pioneer.

Yang Ming, who was accustomed to life and death, found himself somewhat speechless this time.

Maybe it was the ’kindred’ feeling of being eliminated that made him slightly uncomfortable; this second Pioneer hiding in New Federation Minter City had successfully irked Yang Ming.

"Let’s head back."

Yang Ming remarked, "This was a good haul. We learned of Semi Star’s existence."

"Boss, I just detected a faint magnetic field," Lyu said softly, "It could be traces of high-dimensional civilization activity, but the magnetic variation is too small, I can’t detect it."

"Hmm?" Yang Ming pondered aloud, "Could the third Pioneer still be alive?"

"Yes, Lyu’s intuition tells so."

Yang Ming tugged the square helm, and the Feinan began turning toward the starry sky.

The drone, controlled by Lyu, self-destructed, and the criminal data and movements of these criminals had been synchronized by Lyu with the organization maintaining security on this Administrative Star.
