Chapter 166: You’re The One Who Lured The Enemy Here? (3)

The ‘caterpillar fungus disease’ was still raging, and everyone was working together to find a solution.
Even though the second line of defense had been breached, the battle still motivated the ‘Galaxy Community tremendously.’ The precious data from the battlefield and the corpse samples they had snatched provided more possibilities for the research of ‘fungus control.’
Many optimization measures had already begun, and there was still some distance before the ‘caterpillar fungus disease’ reached the final line of defense. The countdown to the threat from the ‘Benevolent Host’ had not come to an end.
Not only was the civilization working hard as a whole, but the individuals of the civilization were also trying to find other ways to stop the crisis.
“My name is Lone Wolf. Today is the 270th day of my 525th galactic expedition.”
That Lone Wolf explorer was narrowly avoiding an incoming asteroid in his spaceship. However, he was still calmly recording his diary.
He was an unknown ‘interstellar legend,’ and his 525 galactic expeditions were enough to explain many problems.
Some people would never even go on a galactic expedition in their entire lives. However, he had gone on more than 500 expeditions and was still alive.
He never boasted about his achievements. He only recorded his diary daily, writing it by hand and recording the data repeatedly. Perhaps even until he died, the Milky Way would never know that such a ‘legendary explorer’ had once been active in the world.
“The spread of ‘caterpillar fungus disease’ is extraordinary. Many people in the Milky Way call it a ’natural disaster.’ I think so too.”
“The power of a single individual doesn’t seem to be of any use in this Milky Way Crisis. Perhaps the best thing I should do is to give up my drifting life, join a mercenary group, and then die on the battlefield.”
“But before that, I may be able to try some methods to help curb the ‘caterpillar fungus disease.’”
The diary ended there. Lone Wolf piloted the spaceship to avoid an oncoming meteorite. Then, he saw the lifeforms chasing after him through the spaceship’s equipment relentlessly.
Those lifeforms all had hyphae that broke out of their bodies and were infected by the fungi from the inside out. If they were not ‘caterpillar fungus lifeforms,’ what were they?
The ‘caterpillar fungus disease’ spread based on instincts, and ordinary enticement methods could not disrupt their pace.
They would always maintain a large amount of ‘caterpillar fungus lifeforms’ to advance. They would not be attracted by external objects that would cause the fungi in a certain place to leave.
But who was Lone Wolf? He was a legendary adventurer who had gone on more than 500 galactic expeditions alone!
He drove his spaceship, filled with special meat pieces that were enough to attract the fungi. He swaggered around the ‘Caterpillar Fungus Lifeform Fleet’ a few rounds, so much so that the fungal lifeforms were instinctively anxious because they had not been able to get the meat for a long time.
With his superb driving skills, he successfully attracted the fungi in that position. Although he still maintained a large-scale advancement, the spread of the ‘caterpillar fungus disease’ was much faster than in other places.
As a result, the red color block that represented ‘caterpillar fungus disease’ on the star map had a unique protruding part there.
“…The results aren’t bad.” Lone Wolf saw signs of the ‘caterpillar fungus disease’ advancing through the drone he left in the original galaxy. After confirming they were chasing him, he looked at his next destination.
“…I hope you guys can be of use, ‘The Lost Beehive Empire’….”
His final destination was the galaxy marked as ‘extremely dangerous’ by the Milky Way civilization as the ‘Granary.’
That place stored all the food that had been preserved since the appearance of the ‘Presolin.’ Usually, there would be lifeforms from the ‘Presolin’ patrolling there.
However, through observation, Lone Wolf found that recently, ‘Presolin’ seemed to be busy with something and had transferred most of its combat power away.
And they seemed to know that the ‘Granary’ galaxy had become one of the Milky Way’s forbidden areas, so they easily withdrew the guards there.
But what they didn’t know was that that place would soon welcome a group of unexpected enemies who could ‘control food to fly away..’
