Chapter Thirty-Eight: Suppression
The moment Logan threw his longsword, the others who had fallen to the ground also struggled to pick up their guns and fired at the only person still standing.
But all the attacks were blocked by the shield he activated. Lokin's sword was made of the purest gilded black stone, which could break through his defense, but his strength was not low either, and he avoided them.
He was clearly well-prepared, wearing the best defensive armor. The device he used to suppress them emitted a mental attack, as if countless needles were piercing their brains, while the strange energy it carried made it almost impossible for them to breathe.
"Bright! You actually joined the rebels!" someone shouted angrily.
Bright ignored him and strode quickly toward the Fire Seed Cub. He had originally intended to continue concealing his identity, since it was no easy feat to infiltrate the inner circle and exposing his identity would be too much of a loss.
Their initial plan was not aimed at the Fire Seed Cubs. All the preparations were to create chaos on Canghai Star, allowing their people to slip into various starports and Canghai Star under the cover of confusion, and replace the identities of some key personnel.
But unexpectedly, they received news in the last few days that a Fire Seed cub had been born on Casa. They immediately changed their plans, as the value of a Fire Seed cub was much higher than the plan to place people in the area.
Especially after receiving the Fireseed Cub, he closely monitored all her information on the starship and obtained crucial information that made them willing to pay any price to seize this Fireseed Cub.
She is an all-powerful spark, possessing the abilities of all the current sparks.
That's why they brought out the Electro Beast, their secret weapon.
The rebels are quite large. They have their own research and development bases and are dedicated to developing various weapons that can target the Northern River Federation Legion. Unlike the Northern River Federation's conventional weapons development, they set their sights on space creatures, an incomprehensible race, early on.
They have now mastered several powerful technologies and weapons through several space creature groups, such as the Electro Beasts and Star Kun.
The one Bright has in his hand is made by obtaining the core of the offspring from the unhatched egg of the Electro Beast.
Before hatching, the cubs of the Electro Beast are glowing, sentient electromagnetic energies. They feel uneasy when separated from their mothers and the pack, and will cry out for help.
The piercing sound that had just suppressed Lokin and the others was a distress call from an Electro Beast cub. Electro Beasts in their cub stage possess the strongest defense inherited from the Electro Beast horde, and that distress signal could attract the Electro Beast horde even from across a star system.
Electro beasts have long lifespans, and hatchlings are difficult to obtain; a group of electro beasts may only have one egg. Therefore, they value their offspring highly. The rebels took advantage of this characteristic and went to great lengths to capture an electro beast egg and turn it into a weapon. This way, they could control the electro beast group and suppress capable officers like Logan.
Their plan, with its inside and outside forces working together, was flawless. The Fire Seed pups were practically within their grasp, but unexpectedly, a Zerg appeared out of nowhere. These Zerg annihilated all their fighters in just one minute. The Zerg's combat power was so high that the entire Interstellar Alliance did not want to provoke them.
These nasty insects!
The rebel leader of this operation could only accept his bad luck and let his inside agent on the Fireseed Cub rescue starship act ahead of time to quickly bring the Fireseed Cub out.
Upon receiving the order from his leader, and seeing that the Fire Seedlings were encased in a soundproof shield, Bright used the sonic weapon without hesitation.
Despite the soundproof shield, Anno could still sense the distress signal from the Electro Beast cub. She felt uncomfortable; the light strip behind her ears turned slightly red, and she felt chest tightness and difficulty breathing.
She frowned as she looked at Brett, who had stopped in front of her. He held a transparent tube in his hand, inside which floated an object emitting a pale blue light. From the signal she sensed, she seemed to hear a crying sound, full of helplessness and unease, which made her feel restless and agitated.
Bright was blocked by a defensive shield. The cub was right in front of him, but he couldn't touch it.
Wu Sui was prepared. When Luo Jin gave him the hint, he took off the main controller from his mecha and placed it on the toys on the coffee table in the rest area. The main controller formed a defensive shield that covered the rest area.
Bright's eyes darkened. There was no time left. The electrode beast weapon in his hand could not suppress Logan and the others for long. At most, they would regain their mobility in five minutes.
He took out an energy weapon and fired it at the defensive shield. The shockwaves from the energy weapon spreading across the shield caused Anno a sharp pain in her head, and she immediately covered her head and crouched down.
The sensitive light band seemed to be electrocuted, twitching and hiding behind her hair, as if to avoid the discomfort caused by the spread of the vibration waves.
This level of impact might be negligible to Lokin and the others, like a mosquito bite, but for Anno it would be like a drill piercing her temple, causing waves of pain.
Seeing Anno's appearance, Lokin and the others instantly changed their expressions, their eyes practically glaring at Bright as if they wanted to devour him alive.
Everyone struggled to stand up, only to be pushed back down again and again.
Seeing the little cub's distress, Bright felt a pang of sympathy, but he couldn't be soft-hearted now. He would take her back and comfort her properly later.
"Bright, hurry! The boss has arranged for backup outside!"
Two accomplices emerged from the elevator and urged Bright to hurry up. They had already dealt with a group of people inside, and if they didn't leave soon, they would all be unable to escape once the suppression was broken!
Bright took a deep breath and increased the power to break through the defensive shield.
Anno groaned with a headache and collapsed onto the carpet.
"Feel sorry."
Bright said something in a low voice and reached out to hug Anno.
Don't touch her!
Lokin let out a low growl, slashed her hand with the knife, and the pain made her even more alert. She reached out and pulled the longsword back, then gritted her teeth and lunged at Bright with all her might.
Bright turned and blocked, the metal clashing and sparking dazzling flames. He raised his knife and attacked Lokin with all his might. Under such mental suppression, it would be difficult for an ordinary person to stand up. The main control room was full of high-level genes, and they were all suppressed to the point of being unable to get up. But Lokin was still able to fight him, which surprised him.
When Bright's other two accomplices saw him being entangled by Locke, they ran towards the cub. Just as they reached the resting area, they were tackled to the ground by the struggling Usui.
Wu Sui, holding an electric weapon, slammed it onto the ground with all his might. A huge electric current exploded, blasting him and the two accomplices away. The current pinned all three of them to the ground, unable to get up, and the two men screamed in pain.
