Chapter 295 Goodbye Old Wu
Asmara was speechless. How long had it been? She then asked:
"Are you interested in telling me how you and your teacher met?"
"Not interested..." Li Ming shook his head. "I don't know much, I just know he's very powerful."
"Forget it, take him away." Asmara shook her head. In this situation, many methods were doomed to be useless, and she could only watch.
"Your Highness Gabriel, I have to thank you. I look forward to meeting your father soon." Li Ming stood up with a smile.
Gabriel's face darkened slightly, but he quickly calmed down and said calmly, "Don't worry, there will be many opportunities to thank you in the future."
"After you carve the gene lock."
Li Ming didn't comment. Just as he reached the door, Asmara said, "Wait..."
Everyone couldn't help but look at her, "Go get the A-level gene suppressor."
"A-level?" Li Ming raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, "Is it really that serious?"
"It's better to be prepared." Asmara shook her head. Li Ming was a little speechless. Asmara was really cautious.
Gene inhibitors have a great inhibitory effect on ordinary genetic life forms.
But it has no effect on him, because he can control it and put it directly into the control column.
A Class B gene suppressor would only require five or six hundred thousand at most, but a Class A one would require five or six million metal energies.
If it is under control, it is almost not a waste.
However, he can not only control it, but also absorb the metal energy, which is equivalent to giving away a wave of warmth for free, which is not bad.
Asmara took him to the prison area.
Compared to the narrow metal corridors of the Torch Organization's main ship, the corridors here are much more spacious and can accommodate seven or eight people walking side by side.
On the way, many civilian soldiers he met cast furtive glances at him, and some even recognized Li Ming and looked quite surprised.
The core members can basically recite his information by heart.
Li Mingze suddenly asked, "By the way, my teacher... Old Wu, he should still be alive, right?"
"Wu Yanqing?"
Asmara paused for a moment before realizing who he was talking about. She said calmly, "Of course he's alive. You'll see him soon."
"Thank you very much." Li Ming nodded slightly.
Gabriel frowned slightly. For some reason, he was very unhappy with Li Ming's calm and composed attitude.
Because this reminded him of someone, his teacher Qinglong. It was obvious that Li Ming was deeply influenced by the other party, and his behavior was quite similar.
That kind of carelessness is exactly the same.
Everyone came to the prison area, where there were already two-tailed scorpion soldiers waiting, carrying A-level gene inhibitors.
The gene inhibitor of the Itlan civilization is obviously a high-end product. It is not bulky at all, but rather looks like some kind of armored protective gear.
With a click, it unfolded, fitting together front and back, wrapping his entire body. The silver-white shell looked like some kind of combat armor.
"Special confinement cell T2 has two hours of activity time every day."
Asmara ordered, the double-tailed scorpion soldier nodded, and then escorted Li Ming into the prison area.
This place is also divided into several areas. The outer layer is a small dark room, where soldiers who have violated military law are imprisoned.
Further in is the real prison, where ragged guys are imprisoned in electrified metal fences.
Some of them were people with golden pupils, obviously prisoners captured in the previous ambush.
Li Ming looked around, passed through layers of blockades, and went upstairs.
On the second floor, things are different, much wider and brighter. Each cell here is separate, and this is the special detention area.
The twin-tailed scorpion soldiers walked through the corridor and took him deep inside, to cell T2.
After opening the heavy metal cell door, what appeared before Li Ming was a not-so-small room, which even had a separate bathroom.
"Wow, what a nice environment..." Li Ming sighed.
"The door will be opened between four and six o'clock. You can come out and move around, but you cannot leave the second floor," the soldier reminded.
Li Ming nodded, and they closed the door and left. With a "beep", a red light came on and the prison door was completely locked.
The room was silent, with surveillance cameras clearly placed in the four corners, but Li Ming didn't care.
Dragging the somewhat heavy gene suppressor, he sat on the bed and then lay down again.
Looking at the smooth ceiling, Li Ming's mouth curled up a little bit, and he let me in after all.
The Combined Fleet is indeed powerful, especially when its formation is open and it is engaged in a defensive battle. If it wants to break in, it can only rely on a frontal crush, which is almost impossible.
However, just because Qinglong can't do it doesn't mean Li Ming can't do it.
Li Ming's greatest advantage is his "insignificant" strength, which is enough to make these people let down their guard.
With just a little arrangement and with the cooperation of Connit, he was able to come in easily. However, due to the special nature of the object he controlled, his strength was hardly reduced at all.
In other words, if he used all his strength, he could kill everyone on the battleship, including Asmara, in a short period of time.
The only uncertainty is the S-class life form sent by the Grand Duke of Thornblood, and there is still no clue about it.
Li Ming's purpose was not to kill people, but to sneak into the core ruins.
So he needs to wait for an opportunity, a time when everyone is distracted and has no time to look inward.
"Outside, the situation should have started to boil..." Li Ming pondered.
And that time will come soon.
At the same time, in the room next to him, Wu Yanqing's eyes moved slightly and he looked at the closed door. The sound insulation in the cell was very good.
But due to the integrated structure, he still felt a little vibration, which was caused by the opening of the cell door.
"Someone else has been locked up on the second floor?" Wu Yanqing frowned. Not everyone can enter this special detention room.
He couldn't help but feel a little curious, but it quickly dissipated. No matter who it was, it had nothing to do with him.
Calming down, he quietly flipped through the paper book in his hand, his arms pressed against the purple metal structure on both sides. In the silent room, there was only the sound of paper rubbing against each other.
Soon, it was four o'clock in the afternoon. The door of the room beeped and turned from red to green. The soldier in charge of guarding the room pushed open the door.
"Sir, it's time for some free time." They were very polite.
"So soon?" Li Ming muttered. It was almost twelve o'clock when he was sent in. He had only been lying down for a few hours and it was time for him to move around freely.
Thinking of what Asmara had said before, his heart moved slightly. He got up from the bed and went out.
I looked around and saw that, as expected, the T1 cell door on the left was also open, but no one came out.
Li Ming leaned over to take a look, and the guarding soldier seemed to be hesitant to speak, but remained silent.
Seeing that familiar figure, Li Ming couldn't help but grin, "Ha..."
Wu Yanqing couldn't help but frown when he heard the inexplicable sound coming from behind him.
As soon as he turned his head, his expression froze. He looked in shock at Li Ming, who was completely encased in a silver shell with only his head exposed.
Plop—the book in his hand fell to the ground, and he couldn't help but ask, "Li...Li Ming!?"
"Teacher, long time no see." Li Ming greeted and walked straight in.
When I saw Old Wu again, he was still in a good mood.
"You..." Wu Yanqing's heart was shocked. Given his state of mind, he was unable to react for a long time and stared at Li Ming in a daze.
"Destructive Energy - Theory, Practice and Application of Psionic Energy. Teacher, even in this situation, you still remember to study." Li Ming picked up the book on the ground and handed it to Wu Yanqing.
The astonishment on his face faded away, and became complicated, as if he was helpless and sad.
Wu Yanqing took the book, closed it casually, and placed it on the table. He sighed, "I never thought that you and I, master and disciple, would meet under such circumstances."
"I didn't expect that I would see you again." Li Ming shook his head. He once thought that Wu Yanqing was dead, and Asmara had been on his kill list for a long time.
But to Wu Yanqing, it had another meaning, more like Li Ming's own lament about the unpredictability of life and death. He moved his lips and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry for you..."
"Ah?" Li Ming was a little confused. How did he do something wrong to me?
He stole a lot of things from Wu Yanqing, not to mention the large amount of experimental funds he embezzled. The sublimated particles in his body were his reliance for sneaking into the core ruins.
Overall, he gained considerable wealth from Wu Yanqing and survived a difficult period of development.
"I thought it was too simple. This matter..." Wu Yanqing shook his head and continued to talk to himself, "It's not something we can get involved in."
Li Ming touched his nose. Old Wu seemed to have misunderstood something.
"But, how could it be that Qinglong was also captured?" Wu Yanqing looked at Li Ming again.
When he was imprisoned, the last news he learned was that Li Ming was a student of Qinglong.
"You mean Qinglong? He's fine." Li Ming shook his head. "As for me, my whereabouts must have been leaked."
"Leaked her whereabouts?" Wu Yanqing felt that this sentence was strange, and whispered: "Did Asmara..."
Wu Yanqing suddenly stopped talking halfway through.
"No..." Li Ming rejected it immediately. He guessed what Wu Yanqing wanted to say.
The surveillance and listening equipment here are almost right in front of our faces. We absolutely cannot let Asmara know about this.
No? Wu Yanqing was puzzled. The reason he came up and said sorry was because he thought the sublimation particles in Li Ming's body had been discovered.
If I hadn't brought him out of the Silver-Ash Star, he might still be working as a city guard safely. Hmm... that's not right. Qinglong might have contacted him earlier than me.
But if Asmara hadn't discovered the sublimated particles in Li Ming's body, how could she have locked him up in a special prison?
He looked at Li Ming again, and then he suddenly realized, "What are you wearing?"
"Gene suppressor."
"Gene suppressor?" Wu Yanqing was even more stunned. "This big?"
"I was originally like you," Li Ming couldn't help but say, "Who knew your old lover was so cautious and insisted on upgrading the suppressor to A-level."
"Is this a Class A gene suppressor?" Wu Yanqing's eyebrows twitched. "Asmara, you are indeed too cautious..."
"Wait..." Wu Yanqing felt as if a thunderclap had struck his mind. "What do you mean by 'it was me'?"
"The device I was originally given was a Class B gene inhibitor, the kind on your arm," Li Ming explained.
"I don't have a gene suppressor on me. Never mind, it's not important." Wu Yanqing said hastily, and asked directly, "What is your current life level?"
"Uh..." Li Ming glanced at him and said honestly: "B-level..."
"B-level!" Wu Yanqing stood up suddenly, a huge wave of fear rising in his heart. He stared at Li Ming and said with difficulty: "You...how can you be a B-level life form..."
"Development progress 65%"
Li Ming added.
Wu Yanqing's heart suddenly skipped a beat, his vision went dark, and his brain quickly became filled with blood.
He staggered back, holding onto the table, as if trying to digest the news, and remained silent for a long time.
"Are you okay?" Li Ming asked cautiously. Wu Yanqing was a person with special abilities, and his physical strength was not good.
Wu Yanqing had a complicated expression. "What is your development potential?"
Li Ming's development potential has undergone at least four changes in his case. He has tested it twice himself, and once when the school started at the University of Science and Technology.
Later, the Yitlan civilization came to the house and conducted another test.
The results of the four tests were all different. He had long suspected that Li Ming had some method to conceal his development potential.
But he knew this guy was cautious, so he never mentioned this matter. Later, when Qinglong's existence surfaced, he suddenly realized something.
"Level 46."
Wu Yanqing's breathing stagnated for a long time, and he didn't move at all. He only let out a breath when Li Ming suspected that he had fainted.
Even though he had predicted that Li Ming's development potential would be extremely astonishing when he learned that he had developed 65% of a Class B life form, he still couldn't help but be shocked when he actually heard this number.
Wu Yanqing understood completely: "No wonder, that's why Asmara wants to recruit you."
"Now it should be the Grand Duke of Bloodthirsty." Li Ming added.
"Grand Duke of Thornblood." Wu Yanqing paused slightly. "He is indeed a better choice. Although he needs to be engraved with a genetic lock, this is a necessary step for all non-direct descendants who want to obtain resources."
Li Ming remained silent and asked, "Teacher, although this question is inappropriate, why doesn't Asmara touch you?"
"You guys can't really have some scandal, right?"
Wu Yanqing sneered, "She's a poisonous scorpion, she still has use for me. I'm the key to the core ruins."
"Hmm?" Li Ming was immediately puzzled. "You can do it too? Didn't you always..."
"Yeah, I always thought I was no good." Wu Yanqing's eyes flickered.
"Until a few months ago, shortly after Asmara's laboratory was attacked by the Torch Organization and suffered heavy losses, her other laboratory suddenly made a breakthrough."
"They discovered sublimated particles hidden deep within my genes, but they are in an inert state and require special methods to awaken."
"And the method needed is exactly what Asmara has been researching. It's the method that requires developing potential Level 20 life forms and using them as experimental subjects."
"Huh?" Li Ming looked surprised. Is Asmara so lucky?
