Chapter 155 Chapter 155 The Key to the Experiment
"It's surrounded by fixed metal frames and wiring ducts. We've blocked all the exits. Even if you can move the bulkhead, it won't help."
"You can't escape."
The voice was extremely clear, like a whisper in his ear.
There was only a metal wall between the two sides.
The other party found him much faster than he expected.
Orcs have a very keen sense of smell, but this space is enclosed, which can isolate the smell to the greatest extent. They must have used other methods to find him so quickly.
The cutting sound of the machine is like a death sentence, and every second carries a strong sense of oppression.
A crack appeared in the thick metal wall in the blink of an eye.
Silos didn't have much emotional fluctuation.
He may not have been familiar with this warship before, but some time ago, in order to welcome Ye Ning, he specially sent someone to design a warship for her.
The ship he was on was a 1:1 experimental version of that custom-built warship. He used his own warship as a test piece, repeatedly testing it and improving its design and functions.
The original intention of the design was that even if Ye Ning encountered an accident and was isolated and helpless, she would still be able to protect herself.
As the tiny crack appeared, smoke quickly poured in and soon filled the entire space.
The next second, the completely severed wall collapsed with a loud bang. A resounding roar echoed throughout the confined space, even shaking the smoke in the air.
A group of black shadows with no visible identification features, holding weapons, pointed at the secret room.
The smoke gradually cleared, and they pressed on. Their footsteps were so heavy and urgent that it felt as if each step struck at my heart.
The search instruments in their hands began to vibrate more violently as they approached the room.
But when the smoke completely dissipated, everyone discovered that the huge secret room was empty, with only a tattered coat scattered on the ground.
Xilos, who had already left here, tapped lightly on the bracelet.
A deafening roar suddenly rang out in the cabin.
The powerful explosion shock wave instantly filled the entire secret room.
At the same time, gasoline gushed out from above, and the room was instantly engulfed in flames.
The dark shadows had no time to react and were knocked to the ground by the powerful shock wave in an instant. Then they were swept all over by the fierce flames.
A terrifying howl suddenly rang out in the room.
In fact, there are similar devices in many places on the warship, but if he ignites the explosives at will, it will definitely harm the marine orcs on the warship.
The rebels probably thought that he could only change the position of the walls, but in fact, the secret passages and dark rooms that could be changed at will were what made this warship special.
Furthermore, the secret passage was filled with robots with automatic killing capabilities. These robots were all equipped with biometric recognition systems, and anyone other than him who entered the secret passage without his permission would be automatically killed.
These secret passages also have strict protection functions. Any poisonous gas or flames entering the secret passages will be quickly filtered or blocked by special protective devices. Even if the entire warship is completely destroyed by an explosion, the individual secret passages will automatically form airbags, wrapping up the surrounding space and completely reducing the impact and damage caused by the explosion.
If it weren't for Ye Ning, he would never have spent so much time and energy designing such a warship.
At the critical moment, it was Ye Ning who saved him again.
He was in a secret passage, and the sound of soldiers marching in the corridor filled his ears.
A group of people quickly passed through the secret passage in front of him. The rebels' equipment was obviously different from theirs, and he could tell which side they were from just by the sound of their shoes.
They were his men, mixed with a few rebels. But those sea orcs were clearly exhausted, their footsteps weak.
They must have made plans in advance and done something extra to target his soldiers.
A tingling sensation like needles surged up, and Silos rubbed his temples again.
As he walked along, he saw a lot of blood, but no corpses.
The other party probably wants to capture them alive.
If the rebels' goal was to turn him into a fused orc, then they must have mastered a method to completely control the fused orcs.
Otherwise, after he was forced to become a fusion orc, his strength increased greatly, and out of new and old grudges, he would definitely kill them without mercy.
They must be sure they can avoid this risk, which is why they are so unscrupulous.
As he was thinking, his muscles twitched again due to exhaustion.
In the warship's control room, the leading figure heard the news and said coldly, "Send more people. He is the key to our experiment, and we must capture him."
The specially processed mechanical sound is chilling.
In preparation for this operation, they had already sent people to conduct a detailed investigation of the entire warship.
They had already grasped and destroyed the key locations and some possible traps on the warship, but no one expected that there was something hidden inside the warship.
The ever-changing complex routes and occasional automatic attacks seriously hindered their search.
One person sarcastically said, "It seems he doesn't consider you his confidant at all. This is all you know about him."
The accused short man turned to look at him sideways, a trace of anger flashing across his face hidden under the mask, "Without me, you wouldn't be able to come up today."
"His mental strength is completely depleted now. He doesn't even have the strength to walk. If you can't catch him like this, you are a bunch of losers!"
Even though it was a mechanical sound, one could still hear the anger and unwillingness in it.
He was almost risking his life in doing this. If he failed, Silos would not only liquidate him, but also implicate his entire family.
Xilos completely drained his mental strength, and the rest of the people were sent to Ye Ning, and the marine orcs on the warship also inhaled the sleeping pills they had prepared in advance.
Such a perfect opportunity with the right time, place and people will never come again.
I thought they were strong enough to complete the task easily, but things turned out to be so tricky!
But before he could finish his words, a gun was pressed against his forehead. "If there were no loopholes in your plan, we wouldn't be in such a passive position."
The muzzle of the gun was still warm, and the short man who had been excited just now calmed down instantly.
The leading black figure said coldly, "Now is not the time to blame each other. If you let him escape, you should know what the consequences will be."
He operated the center console with an expressionless face and gave orders to everyone on the warship.
Five minutes later, Silos heard the broadcast from the warship.
A cold voice came from the radio: "Your Majesty, if you don't show up, from now on, we will kill ten people every minute until you show up. Time is running out, please make a decision as soon as possible."
All screens on the warship started a 60-second countdown at the same time.
Inside the cabin, a group of people were tied up tightly and escorted to the central area, surrounded by a group of tightly wrapped and armed rebels.
The radio was playing in a loop, and the 60-second countdown was also jumping above their heads.
Some people's faces were filled with fear and despair, some were pale and silent, and some looked at them angrily, "You bunch of lunatics, do you think you can succeed like this? Once His Majesty is safe and sound, I will definitely not let you go!"
"You wantonly slaughter other orcs! Don't you even obey federal law?!"
They also knew about the lawsuit between the rebels and the Federation. The peace talks were just a few days away. On the surface, they pretended to be decent people to win the hearts of the people, but now, not only did they come to the ocean so arrogantly, they also directly held the entire warship hostage, wanting to capture His Majesty!
Once this matter gets out, the Federation will definitely send troops directly to the rebels.
Therefore, if the rebels want to avoid this, the best way is to -
Shut up everyone on the ship.
This realization made some people's faces even paler.
The crowd was still noisy, but the surrounding rebel soldiers had blank expressions on their faces, as if they hadn't heard anything. They gripped their weapons tightly, staring intently at the countdown above their heads, ready to execute the next order at any moment.
The bound man began to twist his body restlessly, trying to break free, but it was in vain.
Siros watched the rapidly switching surveillance cameras on the screen. The rebels had deployed this strategy in ten locations simultaneously. Even if he took action, he couldn't rescue the people in all ten locations simultaneously, which would give them a chance to kill the orcs in other locations.
Time passed by minute by minute, the countdown numbers kept jumping, and the tension made it almost hard to breathe.
Some people began to beg for mercy, unable to bear it any longer. "Please don't kill me. I can join the rebels."
Silos heard these words clearly.
It happened to be nearby, and he glanced at the person who said this, and actually had some impression of him.
The people who went to be with Ye Ning were all selected by him personally, and fortunately this kind of people were not allowed to get through.
The last ten seconds of the countdown.
Everyone held their breath and trembled as they looked at the gun muzzle.
"10, 9, 8..." The countdown on the radio sounded cold and mechanical. Every number that was read out was like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart hard.
Time seemed to stretch indefinitely, and every second was filled with everyone's fear of the unknown.
Some closed their eyes, some clenched their teeth, and some couldn't help but tremble.
“5, 4, 3…”
The first group of ready fusion orcs raised their weapons and aimed at the sea orcs surrounded in the center.
“2——”
"Okay, let them go."
At the critical moment, Xilos finally appeared in front of everyone again.
On Ye Ning's side, the small group of soldiers sent by Long Qi received news ten minutes later.
They did find traces of warships in this direction.
Although the warship has stealth technology, the marine orcs have other ways of detecting it.
The news was passed back to Long Qi. He temporarily concealed the news, gave the order, and then adjusted the direction directly, moving at full speed towards the marked location.
The aircraft was traveling at an extremely fast speed, and Ye Ning, who was sitting on the sofa, could even feel the push on her back.
Commonly known as the person runs in front and the soul chases behind.
But Ye Ning still felt that time was stretched to an extremely long length.
She was not idle while sitting on the sofa. She planted a large number of phytoplankton and compressed them densely in a large water tank.
In fact, it was not the plants but her special abilities that worked on the fused orcs.
Her special abilities have been greatly improved in the process of continuous cultivation.
Especially during every public event, she would habitually suppress her supernatural powers to the minimum and then release them. She could already do this easily, allowing people within a radius of five or six kilometers to deeply feel the purification brought by her supernatural powers.
If she were in the sea, with the help of the diffusion of sea water, her supernatural power could float farther.
So as long as they are alive, as long as she is nearby, no matter what kind of filter masks and protective clothing they wear, they will not be able to resist her supernatural powers.
Ye Ning looked at Long Qi again.
"Can you help me grind these plants into finer pieces?"
Long Qi raised his hand slightly, and the plants were quickly compressed and crushed by a force until they turned into extremely fine powder like dust.
"That's enough." Ye Ning pushed the box towards him. "Put some on your body and spread it out if you encounter any danger later."
The smell of those plants was extremely strong, so Long Qi directly covered it with a layer of mental power, completely covering up the smell of the plants.
Ye Ning continued to arrange the uses of these plants.
"This bottle is for Silos."
"This one has something else added to it. If you have the chance, feed it directly to the fusion orcs."
She put a ton of mid-grade insecticide in it.
Her insecticide is lethal to pollutants, but I wonder how effective it is against fused orcs.
After the last competition, both districts began developing new weapons targeting the Fusion Orcs. Besides the necessary weapons to increase their attack power, they also developed weapons specifically to target the pollutants on their bodies.
It was something that was still in the research stage, but knowing that something had happened, Hou Lin and his team had already rushed over with people and weapons.
If they could capture a few fusion orcs today, it would definitely be of great help to their understanding of fusion orcs.
Long Qi looked at the command screen in front of him and said in a deep voice, "We're here."
There was no ripple on the sparkling sea, and nothing unusual could be seen.
A huge golden dragon circled in the air for two seconds, then rushed into the water like a golden lightning.
