Working as a consultant in the Ultra Universe

Chapter 2023: Siblings Reunited, Fundamental Conflict with the Wood-Clad Aliens

"Zara!"

"Lucia!"

Inside a ward at the TPC Far East Headquarters Medical Center.

The moment Lucia and Zara saw each other, they couldn't contain their excitement and burst into a hug.

Due to the invasion of the Muzhen aliens, Lucia and her family were destroyed, and now only she and her brother are left to depend on each other for survival.

They thought that after being chosen as hunting targets by the Muzhen aliens, they would never see their loved ones again. However, fate still smiled upon them, allowing these two poor souls to reunite.

The members of the GUTS team didn't disturb Lucia and Zara's reunion. Knowing that they had a lot to say to each other, they left the ward, leaving Lucia and Zara alone.

Outside the ward, the members of the GUTS team remained standing in a circle in the corridor.

Since Lucia and Zara were assigned to special wards, there was no need to worry about them blocking traffic in the medical center with such a large group of people in the corridor.

As everyone listened to the unfamiliar language coming from the ward, even though they couldn't understand it, they could still sense Lucia and Zara's joyful tears, which made the GUTS team members unconsciously smile.

However, people did not forget that the incident was not completely over.

The Woodkin aliens who hunted Lucia and Zara have not yet been dealt with. If they are not found and eliminated as soon as possible, many troubles may befall Earth in the future.

Thinking of this, Ju Jianhui immediately asked Gu Chen, "Advisor, do you have a way to find that Muzhen alien?"

Upon hearing this, Gu pondered for a moment and then nodded, saying, "There is a way, and it lies with Lucia and Zara."

Zongfang Cheng raised an eyebrow and guessed, "You want to use Lucia and Zara as bait to lure the Muzhen aliens out?"

This method is indeed feasible; as long as arrangements are made in advance, the safety of Lucia and Zara can be guaranteed.

Moreover, given the deep-seated hatred between Lucia and Zara and the Muzhen aliens, they would most likely agree to this plan.

After all, with the Necklace of Light in hand, they only need to temporarily lend it to Lucia and Zara to ensure their safety, while the team members who lend out the Necklace of Light can stay behind to guard the rear, so they will not be in danger.

As things stand, there's absolutely no problem with lending Megumi and Yasumi's Necklace of Light to Lucia and Zara for the time being.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen nodded and said, "That's one method, but I also have a way to lure the Muzhen Star People out without using them as bait, so it mainly depends on what they choose. After all, no matter which method we choose, we need to consult their opinions."

This is not the Dark Kingdom of the Showa Universe, nor is it Gu Chen's one-man show. Therefore, everything needs to be discussed. Even if the other party is an alien, as long as they are a peace-loving alien, there can be no exception.

Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing Gu Chen's words.

They now have a certain empathy for the Earth Defense Forces of the Showa Universe, because with someone like Gu Chen around, they feel incredibly safe. It's as if there's nothing Gu Chen can't solve, and even if they encounter any difficulties, they can quickly find a solution in front of him.

It's no wonder that Gu Chen rose to such a high position in the Showa universe. It's just a pity that Gu Chen didn't have similar ideas in this universe, otherwise TPC would definitely have ushered in a new round of rapid development under Gu Chen's leadership.

As Kei thought this to herself, she couldn't help but feel regretful that she hadn't been able to completely pull Gu Chen onto the TPC ship.

The conversation in the ward continued, and the people in the corridor also started chatting amongst themselves.

After about half an hour, the ward door finally opened from the inside.

Under the watchful eyes of the GUTS team, Lucia and Zara walked out together, then gave everyone a deep bow that was hard to understand, and then said a lot of things that no one could comprehend.

Upon seeing this, the GUTS team members immediately turned to look at Gu Chen.

Gu Chen immediately began translating for everyone: "They are expressing their gratitude to us for the highest level of their civilization."

The GUTS team members suddenly realized, and then quickly said that they were welcome, as it was their duty.

Gu Chen then translated what everyone had said to Lucia and Zara.

Then Gu Chen relayed a message to Lucia and the others: "They bid farewell, saying that everyone has done a lot for them and they cannot stay here any longer, lest they cause everyone to be harmed by the Muzhen Star People."

The GUTS team immediately objected, saying that Lucia and Zara, having left their protection, would likely soon die at the hands of the Muzhen aliens.

Lucia responded, "Our civilization is long dead. Now that I can reunite with Zara, I have no regrets even if I die. The Muzhen aliens are a terrifying cosmic race, and we do not want our actions to cause conflict between them and everyone on Earth. Even if we die on the way out, we are content as long as we can die with our loved ones."

However, before Jujian Hui and the others could reply, Gu Chen spoke directly: "Lucia, I think you've misunderstood something. Given the temperament of the Muzhen aliens, they probably already hold a grudge against us humans on Earth."

"Even if we stop protecting you now and allow the Muzhen Star people to continue their hunting activities smoothly, it is estimated that it will not be long before the Muzhen Star people bring a large army to our Earth to launch an invasion war."

"So from the moment we rescued you, we and the Muzhen aliens were already enemies."

"Moreover, the Muzhen Star People are such a cruel race, and we will inevitably clash with them sooner or later."

"In that case, instead of waiting until the future, we might as well take action now. At least we can gain some understanding of their race through the corpses of the Muzhen Star people, so that we can deal with them better in the future."

Gu Chen's words immediately silenced Lucia and Zara.

They did realize that in some ways they had taken things for granted.

While they were silent, Gu Chen relayed the conversation to everyone present.

Upon hearing this, everyone supported Gu Chen's words, expressing that they would stand with Lucia and the others on the same side regarding the matter of the Muzhen Star People.
