Chapter 136: The Torch is going to destroy the star?

"I wonder what your purpose is in coming here. Is there anything I can help you with?" Li Ming asked tentatively.

Caroline smiled meaningfully. "Of course there are ways I can help."

At this moment, Li Ming noticed another person approaching. He was wearing a not-too-high-end combat uniform and whispered, "Apostle, it's been handled."

Li Ming's expression was slightly tense. This guy controlled the entire laboratory?

Caroline smiled faintly, "You two, come with me and cooperate. I don't want to make things too awkward."

Li Ming was thinking in his heart, what on earth does this guy want him to do?

Judging from the opponent's condition, he should be seriously injured. If he uses the Night Chaser, he can definitely run away, but I don't know if he can win.

Ford was thinking of various methods in his mind, but it was not a wise choice to conflict with the other party at the moment.

The two men followed in silence, each with their own agenda.

After leaving the small laboratory, Li Ming continued, "Those staff members in the laboratory, they..."

"We, the Torch, don't like to kill innocent people." Caroline explained lightly.

"It's indeed a principled resistance organization." Li Ming praised, and Ford glanced at him.

When I returned to the large laboratory, the first thing I saw was Luo Chuan, who was tied up, pinned down, and kneeling on the ground.

"Li Ming!" When he saw Li Ming, he couldn't help but stand up, but was pressed down again.

"Take Luochuan with you and go." Caroline ordered, and Luochuan was also taken along. They turned left and right and finally arrived in front of Wu Yanqing's underground laboratory.

Li Ming's eyes flickered. Is this the purpose of the torch?

"Open it." Caroline said to Luochuan.

Luo Chuan sneered: "You are not a B-level life form, can't you break it?"

"Don't waste time. If you delay for a second, someone will die, including your junior brother." Caroline threatened directly.

Luo Chuan was silent and said indifferently: "Bring me my smart terminal."

Caroline gestured, and someone brought it over. Luo Chuan took it, walked forward, and fiddled with it for a while with his head down.

Then he suddenly turned around, and the gene inhibitor on his body fell off. The temperature in the room rose rapidly, and lava-like lines appeared on both sides of his cheeks. He raised a blazing wind and attacked Caroline.

boom!

"Looking for death!" Caroline sneered, and just raised her hand, the water ripples flowed, and when the figure came close, it was already restrained and unable to move. Luo Chuan's ferocious expression was clearly visible.

But he immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood, but it was obviously not caused by Luochuan.

"Wait!" Li Ming's face changed slightly and he shouted sternly.

"Spare his life!" Li Ming said in a deep voice.

Caroline smiled faintly, "Why?"

"Because..." Li Ming's eyes flickered: "If you kill him, I will commit suicide."

suicide?

Ford, who had been silent the whole time, was now filled with disbelief. Threatening the enemy with his own life? You're kidding, right?

Caroline's expression froze slightly, but she heard Li Ming continue, "I know you think you can stop me, but you don't think that when I say suicide I mean slitting my own throat, do you?"

"Do you know what a biological virus is? Are you sure you can save it?"

"Let's take a step back and say, even if we can save him, why take the risk? Just spare his life and I'll cooperate with you.

Caroline's pupils widened slightly, and then she suddenly clenched her hands.

Bang!

Luochuan's limbs exploded, blood splattered, his facial features twisted, and he let out painful howls. The wounds were quickly sealed by red lava. His eyes rolled back and he fainted.

Luo Chuan was thrown out and fell into the corner. Caroline said in a cold voice: "You are very smart."

"Your intention to protect me just now was too obvious," said Li Mingze.

Through this incident, it can be confirmed that the other party wants him to live, not to die.

But this was not good news, because he could not guess the other party's purpose, so it was hard to be sure whether to run or fight next.

"Wait, you want to..." Ford seemed to react and suddenly realized something. He widened his eyes and pointed at Li Ming: "You want to sacrifice him!?"

Sacrifice? Li Ming looked at Ford hurriedly.

"Level 16 has great potential for development. Perhaps some dimensional creatures would be very interested." Ford's throat rolled. "You... what on earth do you want to do!"

Sacrifice to dimensional creatures? Li Ming was surprised.

"After all, he's the son of Prince Baijan, so he knows more." Caroline didn't panic when her plan was exposed. She said calmly, "Superpower Istanbul, a powerful creature sleeping in a deep sub-dimension."

"Dimensional creatures have a wide variety of preferences. Some like minerals, others like blood..."

"Wait, the ferrous metal that Chen Yan asked me to help smuggle..." Li Ming suddenly interrupted and deliberately mentioned this matter.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a red arc of electricity flash across the half-charred body of Caroline, and then she vomited a mouthful of blood.

Caroline's face was grim, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in her heart. She still didn't know what was going on.

There were obviously enough things, and they had sacrificed experience more than once, but this time something unexpected happened.

"Black metal, dark magnetic titanium?" Ford was surprised. "Thunder Hormuz? That's the dimensional creature most often sacrificed by the Torch. It can bless them in a large area and increase their strength..."

"But you actually failed this time? The price of failure is just as heavy. The power of Thunder Hormuz will always be attached to you until you leave this area."

"Shut up!" Caroline shouted coldly, staring at Ford coldly. "You really know a lot about the Torch. Unfortunately, you probably don't know how terrifying Super Istanbul is."

"He only likes living beings with strong life potential. After pleasing him, he will leave behind the most joyful power."

"The potential for development at level sixteen is enough to completely tear Jingnan Star apart!"

Tear apart? Destroy the star? Li Ming's heart skipped a beat.

Ford's face turned pale. "Duke Baiye of Sera, a member of the Itlan civilization, once the Blue Star capital is torn apart, it will cause uncontrollable panic in the Silver Star Cluster."

Torch's plan was beyond Li Ming's expectations. He originally thought that Torch just wanted to do something big and kill a large number of people, but he didn't expect it to be even bigger than he imagined.

Destroy the star directly!

Killing all life on a planet and actually destroying the planet are completely different concepts.

"That's impossible!" Ford forced himself to calm down and said in a deep voice, "Even a Class A life form can't disintegrate a planet. The energy required is too enormous."

Okay, well said. Let me get some more information out of you. Li Ming secretly cheered for Ford.

"You self-righteous fool. The Itlan civilization is nothing but dust in the vast universe. There are many things you don't understand and haven't seen." Caroline's eyes were filled with contempt.

"Super Istanbul, that's a life form renowned even in the secondary dimension. Whenever he appears, not only planets but even galaxies are destroyed."

Caroline's eyes were fanatical, telling of Istanbul's great deeds.

"What it loves most is to develop life forces with extremely high potential. Please it, and it will allow the entire planet to merge into its body."

"This is inevitable. Li Ming's appearance and the changes in the situation have gradually pushed us to this level." Caroline continued:

"Originally, we just wanted to provoke a war between the two civilizations, but later we found that more and more important people were gathering here, and we realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"Later, we unexpectedly discovered Li Ming, a guy with level 16 development potential."

"Uh..." Li Ming tried to say, "I have a suggestion. Why don't you use your resources to train me? Once I grow up, I'll be more valuable."

"It's too risky." Caroline shook her head. "We did have that thought. If your development potential was lower, we might have actually done that. Unfortunately..."

Ford cursed in his heart. He had lost his initial calmness and regretted it to the extreme.

"However, there are still some things to do before completely destroying this planet." Caroline shook her head and stared at the alloy wall in front of her.

This is the most core part of Wu Yanqing. The alloy used is naturally extremely strong. She is not in her prime condition, so it will take some time to open it.

"Li Ming, commit suicide now!" Ford suddenly shouted in a low voice.

Then without any sign, bang!

Ford slammed into the wall, his facial features squeezed together, and he coughed up large mouthfuls of blood.

"Hurry!" He squeezed out a few words from his throat. Caroline ordered someone to lift him up. Ford's voice was intermittent: "Hurry... hurry... this is the only... only chance."

Li Ming looked at him as if he were mentally retarded.

Caroline sneered, "You're such an idiot."

"His woman, his senior brother, and his friends are all in my hands. Does he dare to commit suicide?"

"When the planet is destroyed, everyone will die, just like everyone else." Ford gritted his teeth, his mouth full of blood, like a dead dog being held.

"Since we are the ones who made the plan, we naturally have a way to evacuate." Caroline looked at Li Ming: "You will cooperate, right?"

"Cooperate." Li Ming said calmly, then pointed at Ford and asked, "Aren't you going to kill him?"

Ford: "..."

"He's still useful."

"Don't you say you won't kill innocent people? If you destroy this planet, who knows how many innocent people will die." Li Ming said, "You've really changed your career to become a terrorist organization. It seems like you've always regarded yourself as the rebels."

Li Ming's words seemed to really stump Caroline. She thought for a long time before saying calmly, "This is a necessary sacrifice."

"I understand." Li Ming nodded, his face ambiguous: "Someone has to sacrifice, and slogans are just slogans."

"What do you know!" Caroline was furious. She attached her hands to the wall and the water flowed over it. It seemed calm, but it made the underground laboratory begin to tremble.

There was originally a lot of preparation, but the sacrifice of Thunder Hormuz failed and his whereabouts were discovered, so he could only jump directly to the last step.

About ten minutes later, Caroline let out a long sigh and coughed a few times, and a hole was broken into the underground laboratory.

"Proceed according to the plan." The Torch Organization members behind her quickly walked into the cave.

They also walked into the underground laboratory, where the Torch members were downloading experimental data and searching through various items.

Li Ming's eyes swept across the things placed on the wall.

Someone had carved special patterns on the ground, crisscrossing and following a certain pattern. According to Li Ming's experience, this should be something like a "sacrificial array".

Ford was taken aside and slapped several times. Facing the camera, Torch seemed to want him to say something and then record it.

But Ford refused to obey and was beaten badly.

"Messenger..." someone stepped forward to report, "We've searched Wu Yanqing's experimental data and found no research on sublimation particles."

"No?" Caroline frowned. "Are you sure? Is there anything missing?"

"Nothing is missing." The other party shook his head.

Caroline thought for a moment, glanced at Li Ming, and secretly instructed: "Package all the downloaded data and information. After the sacrifice begins, I will remove the signal shielding and send the data out."

"Understood." The people at Torch were busy.

The engraving speed of the sacrificial array on the ground is very slow. There are no instruments or equipment, so it can only be done manually.

"Will this sacrifice fail?" Li Ming kept thinking in his heart. He had a plan in mind, but he had to confirm one thing.

"There's no way it can fail." Caroline's tone was firm.

"You sacrificed that Thunder Hormuz before..." Before he could finish his words, Caroline interrupted him sternly: "That was an accident!"

The part of the body that had turned into charcoal was faintly surging with red arcs of electricity.

"I'm just curious." Li Ming explained.

Caroline calmed down again and said, "You seem very calm. Do you think someone will come to rescue you? Don't try to delay time."

"If the sacrifice fails, will that super-powered Istanbul be very angry and destroy the planet as well?" Li Ming said again.

"You still want to live?" Caroline laughed, as if mocking Li Ming's ignorance: "Don't try to use ordinary life forms to speculate about dimensional life."

"Swallowing this planet would be destruction for us, but for Super Istanbul, it would be a blessing and an honor for us."

"If the power of the secondary dimension wants to influence the real universe, it needs to consume a huge amount of energy from the dimensional life."

Li Ming pondered: "In other words, even if he fails, he won't do anything, because that would be the biggest punishment for us."

It was pretty much as he guessed. If the sacrifice failed, there would be great damage. Wouldn't this kind of sacrificial ritual become a targeted nuclear bomb, and one that couldn't be detected?

"Did the red beam of light last time mean that Thunder Hormuz was very angry?" Li Ming brought up the past.

"Don't mention the last time." Caroline's green vertical pupils fell on Li Ming, cold and sinister.

"Don't mention it, don't mention it..." Li Ming took two steps back, but was thinking in his mind.

Since the failure of this sacrifice would not have any major consequences, he felt relieved.

His so-called development potential is built up by the development speed of the objects he controls. After removing it, he is just an ordinary person.

That Super Istanbul definitely has no interest for him.

Li Ming looked around again, estimating the distance in each direction.

"I, the son of Prince Baijan and the Baron of the Itlan civilization, will never surrender to you!" Ford's face was covered in blood and his neck was stiff.

He was a tough guy, which surprised Li Ming.

"Execute him." Caroline frowned slightly. "If he refuses to cooperate, execute him. Remember to record the process and send it out later."

"Haha..." Ford said madly, "So what? If you dare to destroy this planet, you are courting death. Sooner or later, you will be wiped out, just like your race."

Caroline, who had no reaction at first, suddenly dilated her pupils and stared at Ford coldly.

"Kill him slowly, torture him well. I want him to watch in agony and despair as Super Istanbul tears this planet apart!"

"yes!"

Li Ming remained silent. Caroline didn't care. This person was under his control anyway and couldn't cause any waves. He probably accepted his fate now.
