Chapter 35
Ye Bai was still organizing his words to explain to everyone why he knew which direction to choose, when Gu Zan's eyes lit up and he punched him without saying a word.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, the seemingly thick and smooth metal wall suddenly dented.
Quinny of the Crow tribe stepped forward and another arc of light shot out. Sparks flew out from the broken gap in the metal, and it melted away, revealing the broken machinery and a small gap inside.
Li Ke's skin caught a faint air current: "It really is an exit!"
Ye Bai smiled: "Actually, as an ancient human, I have a special sense of survival and crisis..."
What kind of special method is this? She's going to throw in some evolutionary theory to fool people, saying that ancient humans had this talent because they were weak...
"Great! Let's get out of here!"
"Ye Bai, the rest of the journey depends on you!"
Everyone rushed to the exit, working together to widen the gap, and soon opened up a passage.
Ye Bai: “…”
Well, no one cares.
Everyone tacitly agreed that the people who appeared at this auction possessed unique abilities. After all, the universe was so vast that nothing could be imagined. They themselves were also a race with special abilities, which was why the Makul Group spent huge amounts of manpower and resources to capture them and bring them here for auction.
What they didn't know was that Ye Bai was only present at the auction because she was the only one of her kind. Her added value in the eyes of the Makul Group was due entirely to her rarity. She was even kidnapped without even knowing it...
As for why Ye Bai was able to find the exit so accurately, it was because of the special nature of her mental power.
After observing the four states of the spiritual body: awake, comatose, imprisoned, and combat, Ye Bai was completely certain that the spiritual power of other psychics could not extend outward, explore, and change shape as flexibly as hers.
The higher the strength of other spiritual bodies, the larger the range of influence, and the brighter the light in Ye Bai's perception. However, that range of influence is more like a radiation of light, and the influence becomes weaker the further outward it extends. This is different from her, who can still function normally after leaving the body for a short time like a ghost.
At the same time, Ye Bai had been noticing the changes in the spiritual bodies of the people present when they used their abilities. The most complex form she had ever seen was undoubtedly the complex 18-sided three-dimensional snowflake when Xiliana released the red spear.
These different changes seem to correspond to their different abilities.
Therefore, Ye Bai, who had long discovered that his spiritual body was exceptionally flexible, came up with a bold idea during this process -
She chose Rico, who had the simplest form when using his ability, and imitated him, transforming her spirit body into that 'whirlwind' form.
Then, something wonderful really happened!
Ye Bai seemed to have developed a special perception of airflow. This feeling was different from her use of magic. It was an ability that appeared naturally as her spiritual form changed.
At the same time, perhaps because of the effect of insight, Ye Bai's "copycat" ability was actually more sharp and perceptive than Li Ke's genuine ability, so she was able to accurately point out the correct path.
This discovery undoubtedly allowed Ye Bai to learn a new way to use her mental power, but she also quickly realized that except for Li Ke, the youngest person in the audience, she could not replicate the abilities of anyone else for the time being.
It's not that her spiritual body is not flexible enough, but that the 'quantity' is not enough to support her complete state.
Is it a problem of mental strength level?
"boom!"
The sound of everyone breaking through the second-level passage interrupted Ye Bai's thoughts.
"The exit is ahead!"
This floor was obviously an employee activity area, and everyone quickly found an upward pedestrian passage. From above, they could faintly hear the sound of hurried retreating footsteps.
Xiliana took the lead and chased forward, followed by the others, and then they saw a huge factory building.
The others stopped in their tracks in shock the first time they saw this place, but this was not the first time Ye Bai had seen everything here.
This place was the factory where all the nutrition capsules were allocated at that time. The mechanical tracks were probably not active due to the emergency, but there were still dozens of nutrition capsules on the open space. The footsteps of the guests and the escorts from the Makul Group could be heard from the passage in the other direction.
The emergency elevator could not accommodate the entire auctioneer, so some people took the safety passage under the escort of Makur armed men.
Xiliana glanced at the nutrient tank, then at the direction the enemy had left. Her long-term mercenary instincts allowed her to quickly select the best tactical plan: "You rescue these people, I'll go ahead and detain them, clearing the way."
"good!"
Naturally, others would not object and took action immediately.
However, when the five people really approached these nutrition capsules, they found that they were empty and there was no one inside.
At this time, Ye Bai walked to a flat area nearby and looked at the others: "Can we destroy this place?"
Without suspecting anything, the crowd stepped forward and broke the ground that Ye Bai pointed to, revealing the unconscious people lying in a mess inside. Their hair was wet and their bodies were covered in nutrient solution. It was obvious that they were temporarily placed from the nutrient capsule into this secret room through some mechanical device.
The Makur Group has been operating this business for many years. It has a mature emergency plan for evacuating customers and hiding "merchandise".
Fortunately, Ye Bai's mental ability was very good at identifying nearby life forms. As soon as he got close, he discovered the unconscious mental body underneath. Even more fortunately, all those hidden in this secret room were D-level psychics.
“Wake up, wake up!”
But then the problem arose. Several people stepped forward to call out to those who were in a coma, but because the dose of anesthetic was too large, even if they were breathing, they could not wake up for a long time.
Class D psychics are not treated with mental suppressants, but instead receive larger doses of anesthetic drugs.
Seeing Gu Zan using his big hands like a palm-leaf fan to gesture at the heads that were not as big as his palms, as if he was eager to slap these people awake, Ye Bai's mouth twitched, feeling that the slap might make others even more dizzy.
Immediately, Ye Bai had an idea and thought of the reactions of his "cellmates" when he used his mental power to test them on the spaceship.
A D-level psychic should be able to withstand it... right?
Time was running out, and Ye Bai had no time to hesitate. He released his mental strength, leaned against the poor man who was being held in Gu Zan's hand, and gently touched him.
“…Ahhhhhh!!!!”
The unconscious man who looked like a dead body before suddenly opened his eyes wide, trembled all over, and his limbs were obviously uncoordinated. He jumped up from the ground as if his butt was on fire, and then hit Gu Zan's forehead with a "bang".
"Ouch!" x2
Gu Zan and the other man cried out in pain.
"..." Ye Bai swore that he really just 'sticked' it!
Fortunately, after a brief period of chaos, the man finally regained consciousness with a frightened look on his face.
The rest of the matter was much simpler. Everyone agreed that it was Gu Zan's giant image that played a mysterious role. He was the main force to wake up these unconscious people, and Ye Bai secretly followed him all the way.
Finally, the matter was resolved satisfactorily.
Except for Gu Zan who had some doubts about his handsomeness, the other four people and the twenty or so D-level psychics who had just joined the team were all excitedly chasing the path that Xiliana had taken before, rushing towards the freedom they had dreamed of.
"Waste, waste! You bastards from Makul, how did you intercept me in that secret war?"
"Hahahaha, so weak, go to hell!"
"Boom..."
Xiliana was like a demon descending to the earth, and she was rushing up along the guests' retreat route with unstoppable force, and was about to approach the surface.
During this period, all the level 5 and level 4 employees of the Makul Group who were recuperating in the group hospital had to get out of their beds and take up arms to fight.
However, the Makul Group does not have any core combat force whose spiritual bodies have not been injured. Those employees who have not received payment from the group to register for a Star Network account will be discounted in terms of strength and loyalty.
Secondly, the Tianluo people are called a natural fighting race and it is no joke. They have special fighting instincts. As their fighting spirit rises, they will recover the consumption of their physical and mental bodies from the battle. In the game, they will automatically recover their health and mana in combat. As long as you cannot cause a huge blow to them in one go, they will become the typical example of becoming more courageous as the battle goes on.
What's more, facing a B-level psychic, D-level and C-level psychics are no match at all and will fall down at the first encounter.
What mainly delayed Xilena's time along the way was the various mechanical armed defenses.
But even so, thanks to Xiliana's destruction along the way, a smooth passage was opened up for Ye Bai and his group behind.
Even if sporadic Makur armed teams appeared to stop them, the four C-level and more than twenty D-level psychics could easily deal with them.
In a secret communication, Meijia, the only one who was not injured in the Wanjie, said to Pence and Hood, "You go and hold that Tianluo tribe for a while. I will release No. 9."
The two looked at each other and said in surprise, "The development of Experiment No. 9 was successful?"
"That's right." Meijia said, turned around and operated the console behind him.
"Okay." Upon seeing this, the two hung up the call. They knew the power of No. 8. Except for its poor maintenance ability, its strength was comparable to that of a B-level subject. If they could have a stronger No. 9 experimental subject, plus the two of them, they would be able to suppress Xiliana together!
When the two directors went to stop Xiliana, Meijia turned to the operating table but did not release the so-called "No. 9" as he said.
"It's all the fault of these two idiots..."
Mejia connected to the star network and sent all the information in the laboratory to someone. Then he pressed the [self-destruct] device for the entire laboratory, put on his regular clothes, and quickly left through a hidden passage.
"How dare you come?"
Seeing Pence and Hood coming out to stop them, Xiliana was surprised. She had heard other employees calling the two directors.
Just when she was worried that the top executives of the Makul Group would be cut off, she didn't expect that the two would dare to come out to find her. She immediately went to meet them, and with a strong fighting spirit, she quickly defeated the two men.
Pence and Hood became increasingly uneasy as they waited for a long time, but they had already fallen into Xiliana's battle group and could not even escape.
At the entrance of a giant ventilation duct one thousand meters away from the battle circle of three B-level psychics.
"Boom..."
A deafening roar erupted in the Makur Group building, immediately disturbing the nearest exhibition park.
Visitors from various civilizations who came to the planet Makul to watch the normal exhibition performances in the exhibition park were attracted by the unusual movement and looked over here with the long-range viewing instruments they carried with them for viewing the exhibition.
When the smoke and dust cleared, a blue-collar giant with a very recognizable appearance was the first to poke his head and body out of the huge hole that was blown open.
Next came various rare races with distinct features, such as the Xi people, the Crow people, the Kule people...
Along the way, the team of people rescued by Ye Bai and others has grown from more than 20 people, more than 100 people, to more than 1,000 people now. At this moment, all the "inventory" of intelligent life kidnapped and imprisoned by the Makul Group have seen the light of day again.
Many people looked at the three unfamiliar stars in the Makur Galaxy in the sky with excitement, and shed tears:
"We're out!"
