"I suggest we focus more attention on the island nations near the equator. My intuition tells me that there’s a greater likelihood of Bloodline appearances there," Lu Heng said, relaying the information from his memory in a casual tone. Qi Jinhui confidently responded, "Yes, our planning department split into two groups for a thorough analysis and concluded that it’s the best strategy for the Bloodline Clan to control island nations first." This isn’t difficult to analyze. Once the Bloodline Clan expands to a certain extent, eradicating them completely becomes very challenging. Because among the parents of newborn Bloodlines, there may be ordinary humans. This blood relationship results in ordinary human parents also having feelings for their Bloodline children. This leads to a crucial issue: the problem of law and ethics. Should Bloodline children born to legal citizens be granted citizenship rights? This problem is virtually unsolvable. If the law sentences newborn Bloodline children to death, such legislation could never pass from any angle. Therefore, the best strategy for the first generation of Bloodline humans is to slowly expand their community until human civilization can no longer control the number of Bloodlines; after that, they just need to wait for all humankind to transform into Bloodline. This process might be slow, but the Minotaur has already demonstrated that the entire process is irreversible. Lu Heng was unsure whether humans could withstand the Bloodline invasion because he hadn’t witnessed the result in his past life, and he could only do his utmost to stop the expansion of the Bloodline community. Not long ago, Qi Jinhui had organized two groups for offensive and defensive analysis. The ultimate conclusion was that the best strategy for the Bloodline Clan to expand its community size is to choose an island nation, expand the Bloodline community until it can influence that nation’s decisions, and then extend outward. Choosing an island nation is indeed optimal because each island within an island nation is relatively isolated, making it much easier to block information. The later the news of Bloodline transformation gets out, the larger the Bloodline community can grow. Additionally, the Bloodline Clan generally prefers warmer climates. Considering these factors, choosing an island nation near the equator is the best option. "The war zone has already sent people to investigate the island nations in Southeast Asia, but currently, the number of Bloodlines is still small, and none have been found yet," Qi Jinhui explained their current investigation direction. He paused briefly and added, "At present, the number of Bloodlines is still very small, scattered among seven billion people, making identification difficult. Therefore, the best approach now is to identify and eliminate the highest-ranking Bloodlines behind the scenes." The investigation method is indeed very challenging because those who have transformed into Bloodlines have no outward difference from ordinary humans. Unless they are apprehended and tested, it’s very difficult to differentiate. It’s not feasible to apprehend everyone seen on the streets for testing, making the investigation very difficult. Hence, identifying the highest-ranking Bloodline in the human world first is the best method to curb the expansion of the Bloodline community. Lu Heng agreed with this view, "Indeed, I personally believe there is a Prince of Blood on Blue Star, likely within the Berg Family. It might be someone the Berg Family worships, or possibly a family member transformed into a Prince of Blood. Will Berg is a strong possibility, but I have not seen him in person." Starting from over a month ago, Lu Heng had already engaged in a few virtual confrontations with Will Berg but had never met face to face. Qi Jinhui added, "Our people have been continuously investigating the Berg Family, and once we find Will Berg, action will be taken immediately. At that time, you may need to personally handle it." "Certainly," Lu Heng nodded. Will Berg is the leader of a Level 33 family within the ASE Alliance and a core member of the Creator Organization, possessing immense power behind the scenes. The last operation in Layden City might have ended in total annihilation if it had been undertaken by any other team. Therefore, the task against Will Berg can only be handled personally by Lu Heng. Just as Lu Heng and Qi Jinhui were discussing over the phone, another call came in; it was from Su Muyu. Lu Heng glanced at the caller ID on the phone’s screen and said, "I have another call coming in, let’s leave it here for now." "Alright, we’ll notify you as soon as there are any updates from the war zone, keep in touch," Qi Jinhui mentioned before ending the call. Only then did Lu Heng answer Su Muyu’s call and asked, "What’s up?" In today’s era, communication that’s not urgent is usually done through messaging—calls are only made when something needs immediate attention or response. Su Muyu’s voice came from the phone, "Where are you? My Communication Treasure Pearl is lit." Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novel-fire.net Upon hearing this, a sharp glint flashed in Lu Heng’s eyes, and he replied, "I’m in the Training Room." "Okay, I’m coming down now." As soon as she finished speaking, within seconds, Su Muyu entered from the balcony. For her, taking the elevator is far more cumbersome than flying to the balcony. Su Muyu walked into the study and placed a fist-sized bead on the table, and said, "Look, it’s lit inside the bead." This bead is a magic item from the Elf Clan, used for communication. It’s a communication tool from the Magic World, functionally similar to a human mobile phone. The bead is semi-transparent sky blue, and at this moment, there is a small bright spot flickering inside the bead, with a low flashing frequency, lighting up roughly every three to four seconds. Su Muyu continued, "I tried activating the bead for communication but wasn’t successful." Lu Heng nodded, "This indicates the distance is too far to communicate with words."
