Su Yalun didn't say anything. She just looked at everyone quietly, but in fact, her low-light glasses were secretly scanning the people in front of her. Their physical characteristics, identity information, Origin Energy fluctuations, and all other useful data were recorded.
However, she didn't dare to send this information back to the mothership on the Supreme starship. Once she did, she would be exposed, so she had to wait and see.
Ding Meng, Lu Qing, Jun Ling, and the others had already established a mental link. It only took them about ten seconds to figure out the current situation.
"Su Yalun?" Ding Meng frowned. "Why does this name sound so familiar?"
Little Rascal immediately said, "Ding Meng, have you forgotten?
In the safe of the Celestial Wolf Corps' energy warehouse in Meteor City, there was a piece of jewelry that belonged to Su Yalun. I wonder if it's the same person? "
Ding Meng immediately remembered that the map 05 of the Holy Sanctum was also found there. Could there be a connection between the two?
At this time, Su Yalun seemed to have noticed that Ding Meng was secretly observing her. She felt very uncomfortable, so she immediately bowed slightly to Xi Wen. "Officer Xi, thank you very much. I won't disturb you any longer. Goodbye!"
The beam of light appeared again, and she was quickly sent back to the mothership by Curved Shadow Transfer. It was only after she left that Ming Huazhi dared to speak. "Is it really an alien ruin?"
"Yes!" Ding Meng replied expressionlessly.
Ming Huazhi immediately turned to Dong Yi, his expression rather excited. "Should we send a probe ship down there?"
"It's best not to go!"
Ding Meng explained calmly. "I just said that it's not something a first-class civilization like us can control."
Sheng Tianming jumped out. "What makes you think we can't?"
Ding Meng was too lazy to explain. "It's up to you to believe it or not. It's also up to you to decide whether to go or not."
"We must go!"
Ming Huazhi immediately raised his hand. "The Alliance spent so much money and used so many resources. It took decades just to build this starship. If we return empty-handed, we won't be able to answer to the higher-ups."
Sheng Tianming quickly agreed, "Yes, since it is an alien ruin, there must be alien technology. Once we master it, the Alliance will become even stronger."
Since the two of them had expressed their stance, it meant that the Holy War Army and Qian Huanyu's family had agreed to it.
Bo Zhi also jumped out, "I also think we can go down. After all, it wasn't easy for us to come here. It's reasonable for us to get to the bottom of this. Let's not talk about other things, but we must find a new energy source."
This was the opinion of the Blue Light Group. In fact, the Holy War Army and the Blue Light Group had already expressed their opinions. However, this was the Supreme Title. The final action still depended on the attitude of Xi Wen and Dong Yi.
Kadiga silently stared at Ding Meng. "I think we'd better listen to Brother Ding's opinion."
He and Ding Meng had survived from the Azure Tree Planet together. He dared not say that he knew Ding Meng very well, but he knew that Ding Meng had survived many crises. At the very least, Ding Meng's understanding of danger was far deeper than anyone else present. Now that Ding Meng suggested leaving, Kadiga believed that Ding Meng's choice must be reasonable.
However, after Kadiga spoke, it was Dong Yi's turn to be surprised. He knew that Kadiga was steady and meticulous. There might be a deeper reason for him to give up at this juncture.
"President Xi, you are the commander of this operation. You should make the decision." Dong Yi threw this thorny problem to Xi Wen.
Xi Wen slowly walked forward. Her eyes were looking at Lu Qing. The reason was very simple. Lu Qing went down with Ding Meng and the others, so she naturally knew the situation below.
However, what she did not know was that Lu Qing, Jun Ling, and the others had been trapped in the illusion of the brain domain. In the end, they only saw the magic of the crystal square and did not come into contact with the core temple at all. They knew nothing about the secrets of the Mou Xing civilization. Ding Meng could not tell them about the bad things, so Lu Qing's expression was very confused.
Xi Wen pondered for a moment before slowly turning his gaze back to Ding Meng. "Give me a reason to leave. If you can convince me, we'll retreat right now. If you can't convince me, we'll send out our scouting ships. After all, we have an advantage over the other families. We've reached the surface before them."
"I don't have any reason to persuade you."
Ding Meng sighed deeply. "If you really want me to say it, I can give you a multiple-choice question. The question is very simple. Do you want money?
Or do you want your life? "
Xi Wen's face darkened and did not answer. Even an idiot would know how to choose this kind of multiple-choice question, not to mention that she was a statistician. There were some reasons that did not need to be explained too clearly.
The most glorious time for an adventurer was when they made the right bet after going through untold hardships and finally found the treasure. However, too many people could not see the risks that adventurers faced. Once they went in the wrong direction, they would be doomed eternally.
Ding Meng also seemed to feel that his words were too weak. He turned to Catherine who was beside the main control console. "The defense system of this planet has been removed. You can test its gravity."
Catherine immediately lowered her head and operated. A few seconds later, her voice changed. "The gravity of this asteroid is increasing. The value is almost doubling. The rate of increase is once every five minutes on average."
Ding Meng looked at Xi Wen. "We have 24 hours to evacuate. My estimate is 12 hours. You are a data master. You should be able to calculate the result."
Xi Wen still did not answer. She was deep in thought.
At the same time, in the command hall of the Gold Dragon Ship, Su Yalun's low-light glasses shot out beams of light, outlining a screen above the main control console. The screen displayed the information of the people on Sovereign.
Su Yalun explained, "These people are from a place called the God's Warzone Starfield. They are all unfamiliar faces. From the aura I sense, these people are not very strong."
She was explaining to a person in the lounge behind the main control console. This person was extremely burly and tall. He was the commander of the Sheng Hao Organization's operation, Gu Yu. He was a fierce general under the Sheng Hao Organization. Not only was he very strong, but he was also good at commanding fleets for interstellar voyages.
Gu Yu was sitting on the sofa. He was extremely confident in the current situation. Regardless of whether it was the size of the fleet, the strength of the personnel, the resources, or the allocation of weapons, Sheng Hao's side was completely superior to the other five parties. Therefore, his expression was very relaxed. He even had the mood to leisurely pour himself a small glass of red wine and light a cigar to smoke happily.
He was satisfied with Su Yalun's explanation. Although the God's Warzone Starfield's starship had arrived earlier than them, a single starship could not pose a threat to them.
However, as Su Yalun's glasses continued to generate new screens, Gu Yu suddenly stood up. "Wait!"
Su Yalun asked curiously, "Officer Gu, what's the situation?"
Gu Yu's expression was serious. "Rewind the image of that person."
Su Yalun could only do as she was told. "This person is a staff member they teleported back from the surface. He should be one of the explorers. He was the one who suggested that there are alien ruins below …"
"He is definitely not an explorers …" Gu Yu looked at the person on the screen and quietly interrupted her. "I remember this person."
"Oh?" Su Yalun was surprised. "Officer, do you know him?"
Gu Yu didn't answer. He just walked to the main control panel and operated it himself. Not long after, another screen appeared. This was the information extracted from Sheng Hao's internal database. The images displayed on it were exactly the same as the images collected by Su Yalun.
Su Yalun was finally shocked. "This is clearly the same person. Could he be from our Holy Grail Federation?"
Gu Yu's face darkened. "This person is called Ding Meng. Initially, he was one of the people the Public Relations Department wanted to rope in. I saw his name on the list before, and I have a deep impression of him."
Someone who could be included in the eyes of an expert like Gu Yu was definitely not a simple person. Su Yalun could not help but say, "But he looks too young. I roughly estimate that he is not even 30 years old."
Gu Yu kept staring at Ding Meng on the screen. "It is because he is young that the higher-ups have been trying to recruit him."
Su Yalun hesitated. "Is there anything special about this person?"
Gu Yu said, "I have seen his profile. This person was born in the refugee camp on Planet Bramble. Later, he committed himself to the Green Arrow Corps and single-handedly turned the Meteor City upside down."
Su Yalun frowned. "Isn't it just the Celestial Wolf Corps of Yan Fengwei?
It is just a small mercenary corps. "
Gu Yu said, "The problem is that according to the data, Ding Meng was only 21 years old at that time, but he was a beginner War Venerable."
"A 21-year-old beginner War Venerable …" Su Yalun's expression became thoughtful.
Gu Yu said, "Later, Lu Ming and his group of people were also killed by him single-handedly. The most important thing was that the precious materials that our group was determined to obtain were snatched away by the Starbow Group. It was also because of him."
Su Yalun then paid attention. "So, he is still a young talent?"
Gu Yu's face was very gloomy. "Before the Hercules armor was tested, the last test product was also on Planet Cypress. The data did not say the result, but the tester and the armor were all destroyed. I estimate that he was the one who did it."
Su Yalun said in horror, "If he can kill an Origin Ability user who was equipped with the Hercules armor, he should at least be a combat master, right?
Why didn't we recruit such a talent?
What are those people in the Public Relations Department doing? "
Gu Yu was expressionless. "Later, he entered the Federation and went to Star Splendor University on Planet Blue Moon. He passed the Star Splendor Examination with first place in the comprehensive examination."
Su Yalun was speechless. After entering Star Splendor University, Ding Meng was naturally in the pocket of the Starbow Group.
"In order to recruit this person, the Ling family must have spent a lot of money, right?" Su Yalun asked.
Gu Yu continued, "But according to the data, this Ding Meng participated in the military operation to quell the rebellion of the Linda Faction. It was said that it was a top secret operation. Later, there was a disaster in outer space. The official explanation given was that Ding Meng had died in the disaster. The Starbow Group held a mourning ceremony after the incident, and our group even sent a representative to attend. All of this happened three years ago …"
Su Yalun also turned to look at Ding Meng on the screen. "So, not only did this Ding Meng not die, but he also survived and went to the God's Warzone Star Zone?"
Gu Yu's eyes flashed coldly. "But this is not the most important point. In the Star Splendor Examination three years ago, according to the known information we obtained, Ding Meng was promoted from an advanced War Venerable to an intermediate War Master in just one year."
Hearing this, even if Su Yalun's mental fortitude was good, she still felt a chill run down her spine.
