Chapter 144 Coward 14



It was only later that Servis learned about the situation from the leader.

Mingzhao discovered the original TY plan that Ling Lu originally belonged to in the base of [Star Clan]. The moment he discovered the original purpose of this plan, he immediately realized that [Star Clan] must have some means of controlling Ling Lu.

And the child's previous actions finally had an explanation.

Whether he tried his best to weaken his presence in [Shattered Star], or only participated in on-the-spot command and refused to accept the internal intelligence of [Shattered Star]...

This time, the kid's plan was to send almost everyone out and leave himself in the "safe" base, leaving only Servis who had enough ability to escape.

The bad premonition he had before leaving was confirmed. After realizing that the other party might want to take advantage of the opportunity to do something, Mingzhao's face changed almost immediately.

He quickly sent the message to Servis, but he didn't know whether it would be too late.

But after the message was sent, he realized a little too late how misleading the meaning was. He calmed himself down, briefly summarized his findings, and asked Servis to bring the child back.

However, the subsequent news was drowned out in the battle with the [Star People]. When Servis last saw him, he had already woken up in the medical cabin.

And then...

That's the wanted poster.

…………

The memories he was immersed in made Servis a little dazed. When his consciousness returned to the real space, he found that the distance between him and the researcher he had taken away was too far.

Servis was not very nervous. After all, when he was observing just now, he found that this was really just an ordinary researcher with no signs of training. His physical fitness was worse than that of ordinary people. This distance was just a blink of an eye for him.

At this moment, Servis was actually a little hesitant about whether to let people leave.

After all, he was just an ordinary peripheral member who didn't know the specific situation inside the institute. It seemed that because he had been there for a long time, he had some vague awareness of the underground part of the institute, but he didn't know any more details.

And it's easy to imagine that the security of those secret research sites underground must be much tighter than those above. Putting an ordinary person in danger like this...

Just as he was thinking this, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded.

The lights in the entire passage dimmed, with only the red light of the alarm flashing, [Warning, outsider detected, outsider detected——Visitor, please show your passcode, visitor, please show your passcode——]

[KEY AUTHENTICATION FAILED, ACTIVATE LEVEL I EMERGENCY SYSTEMS.]

Along with this mechanical and electronic sound, a high-voltage power grid isolation belt suddenly appeared in the middle passage, completely isolating the people on both sides. Servis saw the researcher looked back at him, then turned and ran.

"Hey!! It's dangerous over there!!"

But obviously, Servis, who appeared inexplicably in the research institute and suddenly attacked, was a more dangerous person in the eyes of the other party. Hearing the shouting from behind, the man ran faster.

Servis: !!!

He punched the wall angrily, but before he could deal with the electric fence blocking the road ahead, he could only watch the other party run away.

The research institute’s intellectual control rights are in the hands of the system, and this wave of operations were of course carried out by the system at Chu Lu’s request.

The reason why I didn't take any action on the previous section of the road was not because I didn't have the opportunity to create distance, but because I didn't encounter the right mechanism.

99.9% of the defense systems here are designed to kill people on the spot - just like when he entered the research institute, he was pointed at vital points by four or five heavy laser guns at the same time - the designer of this defense system demonstrated with practical actions what "the best defense is offense" means.

Of course, Servis is not a rookie like "Ling Lu". He can avoid that situation even if it happens, but he will inevitably get injured.

Chu Lu was still counting on him to catch Vasily. This was a rare opportunity, and if he let Vasily run away because of the injuries he suffered here, Chu Lu would be so upset.

In fact, Chu Lu had noticed that Servis was considering letting him go. After all, the other party's thoughtful expression was too obvious to him, and according to his speculation, it was more likely that the other party would let him go.

But, "speculation", "possibility"...

It is really stupid to gamble on probability and put the decision-making power in the hands of another person when you can do it yourself.

After all...he thought at that time that Servis would knock him out in the laboratory.

The lesson from the past was right in front of him, so Chu Lu didn't repeat the same mistake so quickly. He immediately decided to take action himself and completely deny the other party the right to choose.

Anyway, as an "ordinary researcher" who was held hostage, isn't it a normal reaction to run away as soon as possible when you get the chance?

...The premise is that you don’t just escape from the wolf’s den and fall into the tiger’s mouth.

Chu Lu faced the group of guards who surrounded him stiffly.

He suspected that all the available forces in the institute were now here.

After what happened to Vasily, Chu Lu consciously avoided the "safe area" marked by the system in his subsequent actions. After all, it was very likely that it meant weapons that were out of the research institute's network and out of the system's control. To him, that was the real "unsafety".

Although now, being pointed at by a group of people with guns is not safe.

The "defense" measure of the passage here is a laser net. If Chu Lu turns on the system, he can instantly cut the group of guards pointing at him into pieces.

Of course... the consequence is that he himself cannot be complete because he is surrounded in the middle...

The restricted situations in this world made Chu Lu miss the situation in the previous world. For example, if it was Ling Hua from the previous world, he would have killed the people who intercepted him, let alone being threatened.

So, it would be better to get some self-defense stuff next time.

But Chu Lu still didn’t understand why Vasily didn’t hurry up to copy the experimental data and command the transfer of the experimental subjects, but came here to waste time blocking him?

Chu Lu didn't mean that the other party was a person who didn't bear grudges.

What he did today... apart from anything else, just the fact that he destroyed this research institute was enough to make Vasily want to kill him several times. The other party's actions in the previous passage were clear evidence.

But one thing is that the person in front of you will usually weigh the pros and cons rationally and choose the approach that maximizes benefits.

Compared to such a "trivial matter" as hunting him down, the other party would of course choose to prioritize the safety of the experimental subjects and experimental data.

Vasily is not an emotional person...

……?

Chu Lu paused for a moment.

He saw the expression on the face of the man who was approaching behind the guard.

Chu Lu:......

Chu Lu was a little suspicious whether what he saw were two people with the same face.

"TY-376806."

The other party called out the number again, but unlike every previous time when he was calm, his tone this time could be described as gentle.

—Gentle? Vasily?

Not only his tone, but even his expression softened. "No, it's 'Linglu'? They seem to call you that. Did you come up with the name yourself? ... What a nice name."

Chu Lu:? ? ?

Chu Lu couldn't hide the confusion in his eyes.

——What is going on here?

However, the other party's subsequent behavior made people even more confused.

He just stretched out his hand from afar and made an inviting gesture, "Good boy, come back with me."

To be honest, if we weren't being pointed at by multiple weapons, this would look like the scene of a human kidnapping.

But even if it is "kidnapping", it is not qualified.

Even Chu Lu, with this body and that apparently deceptive face, had never encountered a human trafficker who revealed his intentions so obviously right from the start.

But looking at the situation around us, this is not a discussion at all, it is a "threat".

The "threat" to kill him if he just shook his head.

As if he saw what he was thinking, Vasily shook his head gently and said, "My child, how could I do such a thing? These are just some necessary measures... Without them, you might slip away again, which is not acceptable."

Chu Lu:? !

Even under the sharp threat of a gun pointed at his vitals, Chu Lu still got goosebumps because of the words "my child".

He even saw some "You are so naughty" expression on Vasily's face, the kind that would appear on the face of an elder who loves his child.

——Has this person finally gone mad? Or has he accidentally injected himself with some hallucinogenic drug?

No, he himself was the one who had all those imaginations because he was in too much of a crisis and was suffering from hallucinations.

The Taoist's gaze was still on him, as if he was eagerly waiting for his answer, but Chu Lu caught a slight movement in the distance.

——It’s Service.

Chu Lu didn't expect that the high-voltage power grid could stop people in place, he was just trying to buy time.

If he hadn't been stopped by Vasily who had a seizure for some unknown reason, he might have been outside the institute by now.

So, get out of here yourself? Or wait for him to come over?

Chu Lu simply weighed the pros and cons in his mind and decided to choose the latter.

Servis didn't recognize him just now, so in the eyes of the other party, he should be an ordinary researcher now. If Servis saw the situation here, it was Vasily's side that was regarded as the enemy. It would be much more feasible for him to escape from the chaos than to solve the current situation by himself.

As for whether Servis could find this place, Chu Lu had no doubt about it.

That person's intuition is terrifyingly accurate.

The so-called "intuition" is not something vague and groundless, but the experience formed by past experiences in subconscious learning. Sometimes it will give the answer one step ahead of thinking, and Servis's subconscious learning ability is simply terrifying.

Chu Lu still feels resentful about the knife he suffered that year.

Of course, it was not the system's "grudge", but he reviewed the mission afterwards and analyzed all the mistakes. However, although he wrote a lot of analysis reports, Chu Lu still couldn't find a reason that was convincing enough for himself.

—"Message Received" and "Ambush [Starborn]".

Chu Lu only knew these two things, but Servis made a decisive judgment.

"[Starborn] ambush" was one of the possibilities analyzed when the battle plan was first made. Servis would not have such a big reaction, so the key point lies in the "message received".

But apart from the possibility that Mingzhao directly sent the order "he is a traitor", Chu Lu really couldn't think of any other news that could make Servis react like this.

The former is obviously not possible.

Because until the end of that battle, everything was carried out according to the battle plan he had formulated at the beginning.

If Mingzhao had judged that he was a traitor, even if he had not announced the news immediately to avoid shaking the morale of the army, he would have definitely changed the battle plan temporarily, but he did not. Moreover, even the wanted order for Ling Lu was issued afterwards.

So Chu Lu guessed that the news should be just an ordinary report.

Because Chu Lu knew in advance that he would be taken away by the [Star Clan] this time, he did some tricks when making arrangements - he transferred as many [Shattered Star] members as possible to ensure that he was the only one who had a head-on encounter with the [Star Clan], and Servis, who was destined to be stabbed and confirmed as Ling Lu's traitor.

Because subconsciously, the person next to him was a forceful person who was easy to fool, and at that time, most of his thoughts were still on how to deal with the [Star Clan], so he didn't think too much when looking for excuses. Thinking about it this way, it's not surprising that he was discovered. Chu Lu also analyzed it this way in his subsequent analysis report.

But this does not explain why the other party acted so decisively.

——He even skipped the "questioning" and "inquiring" part. The murderous intent was not fake and it was clearly certain.

…………

Chu Lu did not expect that there was such a reason as "error in information transmission". In the end, he could only blame it on the other party's "intuition" which was already very famous within [Shattered Star].

Thinking of this, Chu Lu hesitated a little bit again——

Wait a minute, Servis... he wouldn't really recognize him, would he?
