Bai Zhenzhen possessed a poison-based ability and often researched various toxins in her daily life. The potion known as "Crying Without Tears" was actually a stronger version of an itching agent, magnified a thousandfold. The effects of this potion, combined with the amplification agent, were unimaginable. Even if the spy had undergone a willpower test, facing such an unconventional interrogation method left them powerless at times.
Several novel methods of torment took turns being employed, and the soldier quickly succumbed, shouting for mercy. As officials, Wang Sanquan and his team had many constraints, but Lin Yao and her companions were still students and had fewer reservations.
After achieving their goal, Lin Yao handed the captured spy over to Wang Sanquan's team and took the unconscious Wang Jin with her own Mingguang Squad as they left. Bai Zhenzhen curiously approached and asked, "Captain, are we not going to take care of what happens next?"
"Why should we? That's a military matter. We're still students; knowing too much isn't good for us," Lin Yao replied. In truth, she didn't need to hear more; from the spies' actions, she could roughly guess their intentions.
Wang Jin was the prized asset of the Wang family. If the Wang family showed even a hint of instability, the Nixi civilization could use that to control them entirely. Once they had control over the Wang family, it would be easy for the Nixi civilization to do whatever they wanted in the Yunmeng Star System.
Was there anger? Not really; there was nothing to be angry about. Academician Zheng had previously mentioned that spies in the Yunmeng Star System were as numerous as cattle. Unfortunately, even if they eliminated one batch, more would follow. The reason those who placed spies were so arrogant was that the Yunmeng Star System was simply too weak—weak enough for anyone to trample upon.
To change the current situation, the Yunmeng Star System needed to grow stronger quickly; only then would no one dare to provoke them easily.
On their way back, Bai Zhenzhen asked with concern, "Captain, did you and Yao Beiluo suffer a lot after being taken underground by that beast?"
"Not too bad. Although it was somewhat dangerous, overall, the gains outweighed the risks," Lin Yao replied.
"Gains outweighed risks?" Bai Zhenzhen exclaimed in surprise, her eyes wide.
Lin Yao recounted in detail everything she and Yao Beiluo had experienced along their journey. Although they had nearly perished while dealing with the cave salamander, they ultimately benefited from it: her physical skills had advanced seven levels, and her mental abilities were also unlocked by seven levels.
Furthermore, they discovered a massive elemental crystal mine and developed an elemental matrix, which would greatly benefit her future research on delicate protective suits.
When they finally set up the Earth Element Matrix, they encountered immense trouble. Because they had not anticipated that the strange beast possessed some metallic attributes, their Earth Element Matrix shattered as soon as it was activated.
They initially thought they had made a mistake in their calculations and recalculated everything, only to find that their calculations were indeed correct. Then they suspected that there was an issue with their formation adjustments and went through the formation again, but everything checked out fine. In the end, they were on the verge of a breakdown.
It was only when Yao Beiluo suggested trying to set up the formation once more on the beast's head that they discovered the strange beast inherently possessed metallic attributes. This revelation did not frustrate them; instead, it filled them with joy. After making some adjustments to the formation and activating it again, everything worked perfectly.
They connected the beast's head to the toy vehicle and activated it, driving down into the earth. Guided by the Earth Element Matrix on the beast's head, the vehicle drilled through over ten thousand meters of soil and emerged successfully. There were certainly challenges along the way, but those difficulties seemed trivial compared to their successful emergence.
After briefly recounting these experiences, Lin Yao spoke seriously: "Zhenzhen, Meng Xingchen, Zhang Feng, and Wan Xiaoqi, if you have any relatives with strong connections at home, have them come to Xing immediately."
The others looked at her in confusion.
Deep within the core of Xing lies a massive elemental crystal mine. Given Yunmeng Star's current capabilities, it won't be able to preserve it for long. So if you have connections or forces backing you, hurry and send people to excavate as much as possible!
Initially, when Lin Yao reported this news to Wang Sanquan, she intended to keep it confidential and let the expeditionary forces gradually excavate and utilize the elemental crystals to enhance the strength of Yunmeng Star's people. However, after hearing about the properties of elemental crystals from Lin Yao, Deputy Commander Wang Sanquan stated that this secret could not be kept; it would be better to make it public so that people from the Yunmeng star system could come and dig as soon as possible.
At first, she found it hard to believe that the expeditionary forces—being a crucial power in the Yunmeng star system—couldn't even keep a secret. However, seeing how brazen and open the spies from the expeditionary forces were today made her fully convinced.
At that moment, she secretly felt relieved that when she left the underground area, after much hesitation, she had taken away some elemental crystal ore from beside the abyss. Only she and Yao Beiluo knew about this; even if eventually all the elemental crystal mines were divided among foreign forces, they still held onto a glimmer of hope.
Since keeping secrets was no longer feasible, it was better to make it public. Let their own people from Yunmeng Star system dig first before waiting for various alien forces to arrive; by then, what they excavated would be enough for their own use.
"Alright, that's settled. Make sure to notify everyone as soon as possible!" Wang Sanquan was also a decisive person.
After dealing with the spy from the Nishi civilization, the news was quickly relayed to the Yunmeng authorities and various military factions. Within a few days, the skies above the planet were filled with all kinds of warships and starships.
Aside from the Expeditionary Forces One and Seven stationed at the only entrance and exit of the Yunmeng star system in the Chaotic Nebula, as well as the Expeditionary Forces exploring elsewhere and Expeditionary Forces Eight, which were all occupied, the other expeditionary legions—whether on leave or on missions—rushed over as soon as they could.
The garrisons from various planets also sent over their surplus troops, except for those who were on duty. In addition to the military, other factions arrived as well. The Xie family, where the savior of the Yunmeng star system, Xie Chongyun, belonged, also dispatched their people. The Tang family of Yanghe, known for their policing lineage, sent their forces too.
The military's response was swift, followed closely by major trading groups and powerful families. The Meng family of Meng Pharmaceuticals and the Su family of Su Precision Engineering were among them. Even Bai Zhenzhen set aside past grievances and informed her father about the situation.
Lin Yao didn't have many acquaintances who could come over with strength; among them were only Academician Zheng and her teacher Zhao Chuan. Academician Zheng had no need to worry; as a national treasure-level researcher, he had one of the best teams of ability users in the military backing him up. Aside from alien forces, no one on Yunmeng could threaten him easily.
Zhao Chuan appeared to be an ordinary pharmacist, but as a top-tier healer, his backing was not to be underestimated. When Lin Yao simply sent a message informing him that they had unearthed elemental crystal mines that could enhance abilities and urged him to come quickly, it took less than two days for him to arrive with a team aboard his small starship, clearly showcasing his capabilities.
Aside from these two individuals, there was one more person whom Lin Yao pondered over repeatedly before deciding to notify him as well.
