Chapter 726: Two Old Friends

"Mr. [Shen Nong], the situation has changed!" the scientist said eagerly, "The energy field is not only expanding, but also seems to be...absorbing the surrounding matter!"

Li Yang frowned: "Tell me more specifically."

The scientist took a deep breath and continued to report: "The rocks around the energy field...dust, and even some of our equipment, are being sucked into it."

"Also, we detected some kind of strange fluctuations inside the energy field, like...like some kind of space distortion."

Bai Zhi and Jiang Xiaoxiao exchanged worried looks, while Li Yang fell into deep thought.

"This sounds like some kind of space rift." Li Yang said slowly, "It may be the backhand left by the inter-universe civilization, or... it may be some new form of [the epidemic]."

He turned to Bai Zhi: "Organize an elite team immediately and prepare to go to the moon base. We need to observe this phenomenon closely."

Bai Zhi nodded: "Understood. I will select the best scientists and engineers."

Li Yang looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao again: "Xiaoxiao, please contact Du Shengding and ask him to contact the scientific research department."

"If that energy field continues to expand, we have to prepare for the worst."

Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded solemnly: "I know, I will start preparations immediately."

Li Yang finally said to the screen: "In addition... everyone at the lunar base, stay calm and continue to monitor the energy field."

"I will arrange for several gods to go to support. Remember, safety comes first. If the situation is critical, evacuate immediately."

The scientist nodded in agreement and immediately cut off the communication.

Li Yang took a deep breath and looked at the starry sky again.

The moon hangs in the sky, seemingly peaceful, but hidden in crisis.

"Is this some kind of urging? A reminder that I don't have much time?" Li Yang whispered, "It's a mess... we must figure out the nature of this energy field as soon as possible."

Bai Zhi asked softly: "Do you think... could this be some kind of temptation from [Origin]?"

Li Yang shook his head: "It's not like [Original]'s style."

"Although it is powerful, there is not much power left due to the erosion of the [epidemic]."

"Before, turning into a ball of light to seek help was one of the few things it could do."

"This situation... is more like... some kind of power that we don't understand yet."

Jiang Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of something: "Speaking of which...could those strange symbols be related to this energy field?"

Li Yang's eyes lit up: "It's possible, maybe those symbols are some kind of key to activate or control this energy field... or instructions or something like that."

He turned to Jiang Xiaoxiao: "Tell Senior Du about this as well. If you can crack the mystery, you may be able to find a way to control or close the energy field."

Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded: "Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

At this moment, another emergency communication came.

This time, it came from China’s orbital space station.

"Mr. [Shen Nong], we found an anomaly... similar to [Shen Ming], so we got through to you as soon as possible."

The voice on the other side of the communication reported nervously:

"Our sensors picked up some strange streams of particles that seemed to come from the direction of the moon's energy field, but their behavior patterns were... very unusual."

Li Yang immediately became alert: "Tell me more specifically, what's unusual about it?"

The commander explained: "These particles seem to be able to penetrate most of our protective barriers, and... they seem to be looking for something. Whenever they encounter complex electronic equipment or biological tissue, these particles become extremely active." "

Li Yang's expression became solemn: "It sounds like some kind of detector...maybe to collect information, or...prepare for a larger-scale invasion."

He thought quickly and then issued the order: "Initiate the highest level of protective measures immediately."

"At the same time, collecting samples of these particles we need to conduct in-depth analysis."

The commander nodded in agreement and immediately ended the communication.

Li Yang turned to Bai Zhi and Jiang Xiaoxiao: "The situation is more complicated than we imagined. We not only have to face the energy field on the moon, but also these...inexplicable things."

Bai Zhi frowned and said, "The current barrier was built by several gods."

"I don't know anything else, but it's difficult to shake it with all the means we know."

"If there is something that can penetrate this at will, it will definitely be a huge security risk for Blue Star."

Jiang Xiaoxiao interjected: "Not only that, if these things are really looking for something, what is their goal?"

"Our technology? Or... us people?"

Li Yang took a deep breath and looked firmly: "No matter what, we must act quickly."

He held his chin and muttered to himself: "Then...in addition to the previous arrangements, a special team must be organized to study these particles."

"We need to understand their nature and purpose as quickly as possible."

"Blue Star's defense system must be strengthened, especially against such microscopic particles..."

"I don't know what the consequences of these things will be."

"If a threat of the level of [Origin] appears again... tsk..."

Li Yang stood alone on the observation platform, looking at the bright moon again.

So peaceful, so far away, yet so dangerous.

"【Origin】, 【Epidemic】, God, and now this mysterious inter-universe civilization..."

Li Yang muttered to himself, "The secrets of this universe seem to be even more unfathomable than I thought."

Li Yang took a deep breath and turned to face Bai Zhi and Jiang Xiaoxiao.

"Okay, now is not the time to sigh, we need to act immediately."

The two nodded and left immediately.

But a moment later, there was another knock on the door.

Dongfang Changming pushed the door open and walked in, frowning slightly:

"Li Yang, Hermes brought us new news."

"Before...he went to the ugly country according to your arrangement to try to find a god named Hephaestus."

"Unfortunately, he did not succeed."

"But although he did not succeed, Hermes did bring us something else."

As he said, he slowly reached out and took out the thing in his hand.

It was an amber crystal.

Without a doubt, it was the apostle core of the [God of Forging] that Li Yang had seen before.

Li Yang seemed to remember something when he saw that thing.

Then he nodded slowly: "Very good... In addition, did Hermes mention where he found this thing?"

Seeing Dongfang Changming shaking his head, Li Yang did not continue to ask.

Before this universe was reshaped, he still remembered some acquaintances...
