“That rain? That was when the energy residue lingering in the air fell to the ground. That was also the moment the mutant flora and fauna) awakened.”
And all of this was an emergency measure taken because our planet was targeted by space pirates”

Chapter 539.
When the news reached the other three bases, the leaders were struck with pure shock and disbelief. After repeatedly asking for confirmation, they were all plunged into a heavy silence and total despair.
They had imagined a thousand possibilities, but never this one.
It was too terrifying, too exaggerated.
That same evening, Malcolm Monroe from the Official Base, Felix Fletcher from The Rivers Base, and Nadia Neville from The Peaks Base rushed to Quinshaw Base for an emergency meeting.
Josie Quinn didn’t waste time on small talk.
She pulled up a video consisting of clips taken from a science fiction movie.

“If their goal is the gold, the situation might be even worse than what you saw in that video.”
“You can’t get the eggs without killing the goose that lays them.”
“They will likely destroy this planet just to take the core and the mantle.”
