Chapter 570: Trouble
The more Conradus thought about it, the more suspicious he became. However, the Swarm’s bio-armor contained extremely advanced biological technology, and it was likely that even the Ji race couldn’t detect any issues with it.
No, no—Conradus realized that the Ji race definitely couldn’t detect any problems with the bio-armor. After all, this armor was a highly valuable item, and it was impossible that no one from the Ji race had acquired it.
During this time, those Ji members who had obtained the armor must have undergone inspections. Yet, until now, there had been no rumors from the Ji race about any issues with the armor.
Conradus knew that Elder Humes, the Ji representative stationed at the frontline, had once interacted with the Swarm and had acquired a set of this bio-armor.
It was because of this that Mowei had established a connection with Humes, successfully securing ten years of preparation time for the Rashudia. When Conradus arrived at the frontline, he had even met Elder Humes once, thanks to Mowei’s introduction.
At the time, he hadn’t noticed anything unusual about either of them. But now, as Conradus pieced things together, he felt a growing sense of dread.
If even Elder Humes, the highest authority at the frontline, had been influenced by the Swarm, then weren’t they, the ones fighting the Swarm, essentially walking into a trap?
Yet, he couldn’t discuss this with anyone.
The matter was still uncertain, and everything was just his speculation. At the very least, the bio-armor he currently possessed was only slightly heating up. Perhaps this was normal, and he was overthinking things due to the unusual timing.
