Chapter 175: 102 The Motivation Given by Po Suo Chapter 175: 102 The Motivation Given by Po Suo Yang Ming rushed back to his single-person lounge.

“The related news?”

“It has been blocked by the Sherman authorities,” Lyu replied, “I’m searching for information in the dark corners beyond Sherman’s official jurisdiction, not sure if I can find previous reports. It’s too far away from us, and we hadn’t paid attention to it before.”

“Open permissions, investigate quickly.”

Yang Ming paced back and forth nonstop, his mind racing.

Po Suo had recovered!

No, that’s not right, Po Suo felt more powerful than last time!

That damn Valkyrie!

She attacked that mining ship!

“Boss, I found some parts of the news reports before they were deleted.”

A spiral star chart of the Milky Way appeared in front of Yang Ming, with a large star domain marked with the Sherman Empire’s emperor star emblem at the first spiral arm.

A star on the outskirts flickered faintly.

This star, like a tiny particle in the sea of sand, was quickly magnified, and the sixth planet within this constant star system appeared before Yang Ming’s eyes.

The planet’s features completely matched the background in that picture!

Po Suo had appeared here, bursting directly into space from the atmosphere.

Lyu spoke softly,
“This is the incident location, a semi-developed resource star.

“This does not match with what you said, Boss, about the bio-experiment ship explosion location.

“According to one of the earliest reports, a mining ship suddenly lost contact, and the last remaining information was these photos posted by the crew on social media.

“This news report analyzed that this might be a fabricated ‘photo editing case,’ and they were verifying information from the police in the relevant jurisdiction; further updates would follow.”

“And after that? Were there any updates?” Yang Ming asked urgently.

Lyu said, “All information was sealed, with a certain time lag. I’m still looking.”

“Thank you.”

After taking a few deep breaths, Yang Ming finally calmed down, sat back by the sand table, and quietly waited for Lyu to search for information.

When Kigrov detonated the antimatter bomb, it must have heavily damaged the Valkyrie;
But the characteristic of the Ancient God creatures was that as long as cells did not die, they could regenerate.

If there were remnants of the Valkyrie’s body attached to the shipwreck—assuming the Valkyrie’s body left over ten fragments, only one fragment would start cell division, while the others would synchronously decay.

Yang Ming had previously “seen” the Valkyrie healing during a warp jump, knowing this day would come.

But Yang Ming didn’t expect this day to come so quickly.

Oh, he didn’t even have a thousand-meter-class heavy battleship on hand!

But now he was captain of this five-hundred-meter-class Star Patrol Ship, with full emergency combat authority, and if the Valkyrie ran into his gunfire, it would be ideal.

But would the Valkyrie blindly charge in?

She was cunning, not only cunning but also filled with various possibilities.

Yang Ming was well aware of his anti-ship capabilities, with the ability to approach a battleship, infiltrate the enemy’s cabin, and conduct a one-sided massacre.

Similarly, the Valkyrie could do it.

And she would most likely be more efficient than him.

“Boss, I’ve roughly reconstructed the sequence of events for this incident.”

Lyu’s appearance emerged in front of Yang Ming, narrating briskly about the accident that happened three days ago in a corner of the Sherman Empire.

The mining ship that lost contact initially did not attract attention from the related parties;
The photos posted by that crew member received little attention at first.

It wasn’t until a report by an eighteenth-tier tabloid that the incident gained small-scale spread.

As the time without contact increased, the main search effort for this mining ship transformed from initial patrol forces to a regional patrol fleet.

This was when rumors began to circulate, asserting that the photos posted by the crew were not edited, and they indeed discovered strange life forms akin to Ancient Gods.

Several major media outlets within the Sherman Empire caught wind of the situation.

It was these sparse media reports that provided Lyu with clues to reconstruct the event.

Approximately two days ago, the patrol fleet found the mining ship and, after multiple unanswered calls, forcibly dispatched robots to board it.

The condition inside the ship was appalling.

The mining ship had over a hundred crew members in total, of which seventy-two had become incapable of any communication, and the rest suffered catastrophic brain injuries.

The survivors could not recount what they had experienced.

A few hours after discovering the mining ship, the Sherman Empire’s Elder Court’s enforcement fleet intervened, completely locking down related information, while several research ships escorted by an elite fleet entered the resource star where the Valkyrie was spotted.

The crew members who became incapable were taken to a research institute, as the Sherman Empire sought to understand what happened to them.

“This is all the information available at the moment.”

Lyu spoke softly,
“One detail worth noting is that the mining ship originally had a small warp-capable detection ship, and that ship was missing.”

“Impressive,” Yang Ming covered his eyes with his hand, “Po Suo gained high mobility… The New Federation, that’s right! Keep an eye on the New Federation’s intelligence agencies, they might have information.”

“Understood, Boss.”

Lyu immediately devoted herself to work.

She fully understood how anxious her boss was when facing his superior life form.

Two hours later, Lyu brought one good and one bad piece of news.

Lyu did not dare to tease Yang Ming at this moment, reporting swiftly.

The good news was that the special forces that handled the Kigrov experimental ship explosion case within the Sherman Empire started to pursue the Valkyrie, as they had some understanding of her.
