Novel Full Chapter 783
Chapter 783: Chapter 709: Optimal Handling Chapter 783: Chapter 709: Optimal Handling The Martian surface of the Cockroach People’s world, though transformed by the implantation of special algae after the restoration of the magnetic field, regained its atmosphere, and now had oxygen, still looked exceptionally desolate, with scarcely any embellishment other than a few patches of algae.
The reddish-brown soil, looking like fine sand, made a “puff” sound when stepped upon.
At this moment, a group of people was running at high speed across this land, kicking up a cloud of dust.
They were moving at a speed of at least a hundred kilometers an hour.
Each member of the group wore windproof goggles, and their cloaks were uniform, each emblazoned with the logo of the White Star Group.
The White Star Group, as the strongest corporate force in Baixing State, also had its influence and business in Tianlong State and had gained recognition and tacit approval from local powers there, no longer facing exclusion.
“From what we understand, the strongest team that went to the Land of Fire should be the Bright Family from Tianlong State, with whom we have certain business dealings.”
The deputy in the team, a woman wearing windproof goggles, put down the interdimensional communication device in her hand, having learned of the latest intelligence.
“It’s good to have someone running ahead.”
Bai Hua, the leader, spoke calmly, yet his eyes continuously scanned the surroundings, seemingly with deep caution.
“We can now confirm that quite a few teams that came to the Land of Fire have indeed gone missing.
The biggest suspect is this four hundred-kilometer stretch of the Cockroach People’s world.
Don’t take it lightly.”
“Hey, with Brother Hua leading us, what is there to fear?

Just a pity about Brother Jiang, sigh…”
Someone at the back added a comment, seeming somewhat regretful.
Bai Jiang had died in the Tianchengzi murder case, causing these members of the White Star Group to feel bittersweet.
Bai Jiang was a genius of the Bai Family’s legitimate line, holding much higher status than Bai Hua of the collateral branch!
Let alone those from the subsidiary clans.
Though only Bai Hua, the team leader, was from the Bai Family, the others were elite members from subsidiary clans, a luxurious lineup of a World Breaker leading a group of Senior Partners!
They should easily settle the business at hand.
Actually, many were puzzled as to why such a strong lineup was necessary, especially since Earth Dragon City’s local snakes were bound to share profits with them, regardless.
It wasn’t as if a strong lineup could exempt them from that, after all, this was not the White Star Group’s own territory.
Ordinary teams of Senior Partners coming over to show face would have sufficed.
“Safety first.”
Bai Hua did not go into details but his gaze was profound.
Although he did not know the specifics of what happened in the Tianchengzi murder case.
But Bai Hua had received a secret family order to unconditionally cooperate with Bai Jiang and even use anti-divination tools for interference, so Bai Jiang’s arrival was definitely more than just ‘trying his luck.’
Especially with such a big event having occurred, Bai Hua couldn’t help but speculate.
Because of conflict of interest considerations, none of the Catastrophe Level individuals from the White Star Group in Tianlong State had come to Earth Dragon City.
As Earth Dragon City Group’s strongest, Bai Hua still felt a certain sense of crisis.
With the success in developing the virus vaccine and the special antibodies, he took the opportunity to come to the Land of Fire to conduct some business, and at the same time, to observe any potential changes that might follow.
Glancing at his wrist, where a faintly glowing prayer bead lay, Bai Hua sighed, realizing that he had been tracked the entire way, and probably embroiled in some serious trouble.
But as for specifics, he truly had no clue…
However, at this moment, one of the mech-persons in their team suddenly clutched at the sensor in front of his eyes and spoke with a tone of alarm,
“Stop, stop!
A massive surge of life activity has appeared, a lot of it!”
Almost in sync with his words, the ground began to shake, and then from the cracks in the earth all around, hordes of Cockroach People began to spew out and crazily fly towards the sky.
The sheer number caused Bai Hua, a World Breaker, to have a twisted expression on his face.
While the individual size of Cockroach People wasn’t so impressive, the sheer size of their swarm was overwhelming!
“How can there be so many!”
Bai Hua’s voice cracked, even as a World Breaker, even as someone whose every gesture was filled with formidable power,
he could still be overwhelmed and killed by these flying creatures!
Even with his wide-ranging attack capabilities, he was no match for such numbers.
But soon, the terrified group discovered that these Cockroach People didn’t seem to have any intention of attacking them and were simply flying out of the cracks to escape towards the sky.
It seemed they were fleeing from something truly terrifying.
That sense of panic, impossible to fake, filled with chaos, left the group bewildered but also chilled to the core.
What was happening?
What could terrify these Cockroach People to such an extent?
Wasn’t that even more dangerous?
“Prepare for retreat now; there’s a chance if they’re not attacking us.”
Bai Hua made a snap decision.
He didn’t choose to retreat directly; Cockroach People surrounded them on all sides.
How could they withdraw if they were to agitate them?
So now, it was a gamble, a bet that they could successfully meditate their way back!
But almost as soon as he made the decision and started to communicate this,
suddenly, those Cockroach People that had taken flight began to show signs of distress.
Many of the flying Cockroach People appeared to be wavering unsteadily.
What had been a dense, dark mass now began to scatter, as if intoxicated.
Drip~
The first Cockroach Person began to fall to the ground, struggling incessantly after landing, flailing in circles on the spot, but soon after, more Cockroach People followed like raindrops.
Falling like raindrops!
Drip drip~
The corpses of numerous Cockroach People fell, covering the area where Tao Yu and his team were.
Fortunately, at least they were a luxurious team of Senior Partners.
The simple harm of falling from above still didn’t cause them any trouble.
At most, it made them look somewhat awkward.
“What’s going on…
cough cough~”
Bai Hua was initially astonished, but as more Cockroach People landed nearby, stirring up dust from the ground, he couldn’t help but start to cough.
The itchiness in his throat during the cough was unbearable, and the more he coughed, the worse it seemed, as if he was about to cough out his lungs.
The pain in his lungs, coupled with the taste of blood in his throat, made him feel somewhat incredulous.
He himself a World Breaker!
What was this situation?
What thing!
𝕟𝗈𝘷𝕘𝗼.co
Accompanied by a fever overtaking his body and a headache that plunged him into a stupor, he faintly realized something.
Disease…
It was some kind of disease that had caused these Cockroach People to die en masse!
And this unreasonable, highly contagious affliction that could also severely impact even someone like him, a World Breaker, immediately manifested its lethal presence.
“You all…”
Struggling through his dizzying headache, he wanted to say something.
But in return, he got a fit of even more intense coughing, and by then he saw that his teammates, even those who had undergone almost full mechanical modification, were all in a worse state than himself.
There were those who were propped up on the ground, coughing up blood.
Especially those who had undergone mechanical modifications, it seemed as if their entire machinery was trembling with the cough.
The synthetic skin on their surfaces started to peel off and most astonishingly, rust spots could faintly be seen on the silver-white parts of their augmented components!
What kind of devilish disease was this?
Purely some kind of conceptual malady?!
Even metals could get “sick”!
The pain in his chest, and the grogginess in his head, made it difficult for him to contemplate much further.
It felt as if he just wanted to fall asleep like this.
However, in the very moment he was about to close his eyes for the last time, he saw through his blurred vision a figure in a white robe, seemingly radiating Holy Light, gently floating down from above, as pure as an Angel…
“Hm?
White Star Group…”
Tao Yu glanced at the logo on the garments of the people below, his eyebrows lifting in a somewhat amused expression.
From the current situation, it seemed that the information he left about Bai Jiang hadn’t muddled things completely; Saint Ou from Earth Dragon City had personally taken action and probably picked up on some clues.
After all, Bai Jiang was indeed behind this act, and it was not a disguise by him, Tao Yu.
Only tiny shreds of Bai Jiang’s true actions had to be left behind—the rest would be filled in by others’ imaginations.
These fellows here, he wondered if they were seeking refuge.
After striking a deal with the Sage of Six Paths, Tao Yu also pondered over how to exterminate these Cockroaches and then he thought of the best way to kill Cockroaches back home: using a chemical that attracted the Cockroaches to feed on it and then carry it back to wipe out their colony.
Tao Yu, possessing an extraordinary conceptual disease and pestilence ability, figured this method should theoretically be the best course of action.
He just hadn’t expected to encounter people from the White Star Group while testing the potency.
After considering for a moment, Tao Yu casually removed the remaining concept of disease from their bodies.
The Bai Family was meant to draw fire, no need for a mere World Breaker to die here.
And moreover…
Tao Yu cast a glance far behind him.
A presence of Catastrophe Level was following them from afar, perhaps already suspicious and shadowing them.
“Don’t kill them, we have to let them deliver the message…”
After mulling it over, Tao Yu slowly drifted backward, his figure growing fainter until he completely vanished…
That Catastrophe Level presence, it might be worth a try to see if it was connected to the entities that had attacked the Aburame Clan of Konoha before.
So far, he had not detected their traces in the Cockroach People’s world.
As for the Alien Cockroaches, he had sensed some, but they seemed to have no affiliation with the Cockroach People, each fighting their own battles…
