Chapter 53
It was indeed Xiang Jia in the medical cabin. Perhaps he was under anesthesia and could not wake up no matter how Xiyue called him.
She was in a terrible state, her combat uniform was tattered, with undried blood on her sleeves and trouser legs, and even the leather mattress was stained deep red.
Xiyue checked the areas with the most blood. The skin was bright red, but not bleeding. There was a little redness and swelling around the forearms and shins. It seemed the limbs had been broken during the interrogation.
Fortunately, the medical cabin has been operating and these injuries have been initially healed.
"I think I recognize her." Xiaoying, momentarily shaken off her low mood, looked at Xiang Jia's face. "Miss Ji, was she the one who rescued the kidnappers with you that day? I saw her outside the crowd."
"It's her." Xi Yue said, and suddenly remembered something, "How did your friend escape from here?"
"Ventilation duct!" Xiaoying pointed at the vent above the room. "Ivy climbed out of the duct. They said the vent is on the mountain, very close to Gong Daimin's house. There aren't many people around, so she won't be discovered."
The answer is surprisingly simple.
If you think about it carefully, it makes sense. Pregnant women who are garbage citizens have no worries about food and clothing here. Maybe Gong Daimin has also promised something. Who would want to run away?
The medical cabin cover is oval in shape, and when closed, it is high enough for people to stand on and easily touch the ventilation holes.
Xiyue climbed up, and just as her fingers touched the wind shield, the light in the room suddenly changed.
The blazing white turned to crimson and kept flashing. Outside the room, probably in the hall, an alarm sounded.
Xiyue's heart sank.
Is there some detection device installed in the vents?
No, if that were the case, Xiaoying’s friend wouldn’t have been able to escape so easily.
Maybe someone discovered the knocked-out mecha soldier, or maybe...
Xiyue suddenly thought of a question and looked at Xiaoying: "Where were you before you ran into the corridor?"
They walked around the corridor for most of the time, only encountering doctors or mecha soldiers, not any pregnant women. In other words, pregnant women were unable to move freely, or their range of movement was very limited.
"I was just sent here and was being examined in a room." Xiaoying said, "The doctor just picked up the instrument, and I knocked him out with this, and then came in through another door."
As he spoke, he weighed the fire extinguisher in his hand.
Xi Yue: “…”
This girl is quite fierce. No wonder she was able to knock the mecha soldier unconscious so promptly. It turns out she was carrying a weapon around with her.
Xiaoying glanced at the flashing red lights around her and said, "Could it be that one of those two people has woken up?"
"They should be." Xi Yue jumped down from the medical cabin. "Remember to hit them a few more times next time. They deserve to die. Xiang Jia is still unconscious. It will be difficult for the two of us to..."
There was a pause.
No. Xiang Jia was sturdy, and it would have been difficult for the two of them to get her into the vent alone. But she had the remote control. Using the remote to open the contaminated area, and then using the flying skill within the contaminated area, she could get Xiang Jia and Xiao Ying to the ceiling, which would be much easier than relying on human effort alone.
However, just as Xiyue took out the remote control, voices from outside quickly approached.
"It must be for that woman!"
"Go check it out!"
In the hall, a mecha soldier and a doctor rushed over. The former had his mecha fully operational, and the latter's face was covered in blood from his head.
As soon as they ran into the corridor diagonally opposite, they saw a woman in maternity clothes.
The mecha soldier was a guard stationed in the laboratory all year round and did not recognize Xiyue. The doctor even mistook her for an ordinary pregnant woman. He squinted his eyes and said, "No, she didn't hit me..."
"Isn't this abnormal? Is this a place they can hang out?!" The mecha soldier raised his hand and pointed the barrel of his gun at Xiyue, "Put your hands up!"
Xiyue did as she was told and walked towards them.
"stop!"
"I said stop, didn't you hear me?!"
Xiyue heard it, but she suddenly stopped running and turned into a sprint.
The mecha soldier fired immediately, but the bullet was bounced off by an invisible object. He had no time to care about how the other party did it, because the other party went from running to flying!
Suddenly, something fell from his side... a bunch of hair?
Bang!
The mecha soldier was knocked back by the pure space, and the doctor happened to be standing behind him, and was knocked against the wall together. In front of him was armor, and he was flesh and blood. The impact was too strong, and his sternum was instantly shattered.
When a mouthful of blood spurted onto the mecha soldier's back, another alarm sounded.
"Alert, alert, contamination detected!"
Even though he was protected by a mecha, the mecha soldier was still dizzy and dazed, and was slightly stunned when he heard the alarm.
pollute?
The next second, the gray fog suddenly exploded, and at the same time, something gradually climbed up his body.
The woman floating in front of him faded away.
The mecha soldier tilted his head, puzzled, and saw a tangled web of blood vessels on the wall against which his back rested, like a giant spider web. And he was right in the middle of it.
Just as he was about to struggle, the woman came closer again, and the invisible barrier pressed against his hands and feet, making it impossible for him to make any resistance.
His hands and feet were quickly entangled with pollutants and mutated blood vessels, and those leech-like things squirmed and approached his mask.
-
Without any concrete evidence, Qiao Mingjin couldn't even step into Gong Daimin's house.
The two sides remained in silence until Gong Daimin received a message.
Her eyes turned cold as she looked at Qiao Mingjin: "It seems that Captain Qiao can't provide any concrete evidence today. It doesn't matter. This commander will still give the central government some face. I have many empty rooms at home, and I don't mind giving Captain Qiao an office."
As he spoke, he gave a look to his men, and the two mecha teams responsible for guarding the castle immediately surrounded them.
"Please, Captain Joe."
First, he stopped the person at the door for so long, and now he invited him in. The intention was obvious: to find someone to watch over him.
"Then I'll trouble you, Commander Gong."
Qiao Mingjin had no objection and led the team into the gate.
Qiao Mingjin suddenly found out that she was the culprit. Although he didn't produce any evidence, it was impossible for the matter to be based on rumors. Gong Daimin was still very cautious, worried that Qiao Mingjin would use the evidence to gain investigation rights and track her location on the computer. So she simply handed the computer to her subordinates.
"Watch me till death, and you can't even leave."
"yes!"
She turned on her mecha and flew towards the abandoned police station not far away.
But she didn't expect that there was another person who came with Qiao Mingjin and was not in the team.
Yuan Xu was wrapped in a flame mecha and turned on the stealth function. The reconnaissance system successfully captured the fleeting figure of Miyadai Toshi.
"Yuan Xu: I'm following."
"Qiao Mingjin: Positioning."
-
There were not many mecha soldiers guarding the laboratory, but not a few either. In less than a minute, more than a dozen mecha soldiers rushed over after hearing the news and launched a fierce attack on Xiyue with artillery fire.
But not a trace of harm can invade the pure space.
Xiyue lowered her eyes to look at the remote control, thought for a moment, and decisively pressed the screen.
The remote control I just received had a countdown of only 48 hours. After opening two level 5 contamination zones, it completely disappeared. However, the secondary contamination caused the pollutants that mutated the doctor to suddenly go into a violent state, secreting corrosive white mucus from his blood vessels, which quickly burned through the mecha soldier's mask.
Amid screams, the second pollutant finally appeared.
But... it doesn't seem to have much effect.
The scope of level five pollution is extremely limited, and the mecha soldiers outside also have rich combat experience. They did not choose to rush into the thick fog, but stood at the edge of the fog and relied on the reconnaissance system to detect targets in the contaminated area.
If the two pollutants were not in a violent state, they would have been killed by the concentrated fire.
The pure space's range of action is limited to the polluted area. If they don't come in, Xiyue has no choice but to take this opportunity to take Xiaoying and Xiang Jia away.
But just as she was about to return to the room where the medical cabin was placed, a dark shadow rushed in.
The two robotic arms took off and fell a few times, and chopped the two pollutants into pieces.
Black mecha, Miyadai Toshi.
Xiyue recognized the person immediately and, without a second to think, veered off course and retreated deeper into the corridor. Gong Daimin was even faster, arriving in the blink of an eye. Xiyue had no choice but to dodge and crash into one of the doors.
This is already the edge of the contaminated area, but fortunately we haven't left the contaminated area. As soon as the door opened, gray fog rushed in, and the pollution alarm sounded in the room, and the space sealing device was activated.
The metal plate gradually blocked the open doorway from top to bottom, but was held up by a black mechanical arm before it finally landed on the ground.
Gong Daimin lifted the metal plate easily, walked into the room, and looked at Xiyue behind the table with a smile.
"You really disappoint me, God of Pollution."
"Can it only detonate such low-level pollution?"
"Never mind. Anyway, this commander is honored to be the first to kill the God of Pollution."
Gong Daimin fired without hesitation, but the bullet was thrown out in front of Xiyue and hit a petri dish.
The glass shattered, and the culture medium poured out with an embryo.
The embryos have zero resistance to the contamination and begin to mutate immediately, but because the concentration of the contamination is so low, the rate of change is very slow.
Gong Daimin shot it to death with a casual shot, and looked around Xiyue with squinted eyes.
"No wonder your mental power is E0 but you are not infected. Interesting."
She discovered pure space.
"What about this?"
Miyagi Daimin raised her hand, and the Purification Gun unleashed a stream of pure spiritual energy, enveloping the entire room. In a flash of light, a hazy purification bead appeared before her.
As expected of an S-class mecha warrior, its purification speed is beyond imagination.
The purification space disappeared unexpectedly, and Xi Yue fell to the ground, staggering slightly.
In an unpolluted environment, she is just an ordinary garbage citizen. Not to mention Miyagi Daimin with S-level mental power, she has no power to resist even against a B-level mecha warrior.
She was in a dead end.
As the word "death" entered Xiyue's mind, she suddenly felt dazed. Even Gong Daimin's figure became blurry. Countless points of light danced across her vision, slowly forming a few lines of words.
New command received
Pollution Level: 2
「Mecha level: S」
「Number of mechas: ≥1」
Pollution number: 12
Pollution status: Normal
"Opening time limit: 71:59:13"
What's this?
Xi Yue was startled. A beam of light flew through the air, cut through her clothes, and returned to Gong Daimin's hands.
"As expected, it's gone." Gong Daimin continued to say disappointedly, "Xiyue, I'll give you one last chance. If you can't show enough strength, there's no need to discuss further cooperation."
"Don't worry, I won't kill you. I will only ask you to fulfill the conditions you promised me and bear a child for me."
"Perhaps the God of Pollution has a special physique, and can successfully breed a good seedling of S-level spiritual power. Oh, or even breed a pollutant? That would also be a major discovery."
These words lingered in Xiyue's ears, making her feel confused and extremely disconnected.
It feels like my body and mind have been pulled out of this world.
Until Xiyue's distracted gaze fell on Gong Daimin, it seemed that the words reflected on the retina changed.
"Mecha level meets the requirements."
"The number of mechas meets the requirements."
"Should we open the contaminated area?"
Of course it should be turned on if it can be turned on, but what exactly are these things?
Just as Xiyue had doubts arose, Gong Daimin suddenly looked up.
In the sky, a huge gray hole appeared in the flashing red light.
-
On the roof of the abandoned police station, Yuan Xu circled around and around, occasionally landing somewhere and stomping hard.
It's strange. Miyashiro Toshi clearly disappeared from this location. There must be a secret passage here, but he never found it.
Scanning the mountain with the reconnaissance system also found nothing. The place where the pregnant woman was imprisoned should be deep underground.
Yuan Xu tilted his head and looked towards the ancient castle.
It’s been so long since the location was sent, why hasn’t Mr. Qiao arrived yet?
Forget it, just give him a hand.
Yuan Xu raised his arm, and Qi Jin reassembled a huge cannon barrel on the back of his hand.
Target distance 5KM
"Target locked"
A rocket was fired out, dragging a long tail of flames, and hit the castle under the night sky.
In an instant, the starships flying in the night sky stopped and looked in the direction of the explosion in disbelief... Someone actually dared to attack the commander's mansion?
Several patrolling starships nearby quickly locked onto the location where the artillery shells were launched, and one mecha after another leaped out of the starships and swooped down in an encircling manner.
Yuan Xu had already activated the stealth function, and the gloss on the surface of the mecha changed, blending perfectly into the mountain.
Anyway, the trouble wasn't with him, but with Qiao Mingjin who would be arriving soon. He only needed to take advantage of the chaos to force his way through the secret passage with his weapons and sneak into the laboratory.
However, surprises are always unexpected.
Before the 42nd Legion and Qiao Mingjin arrived, a hill not far away suddenly gave way, revealing a group of people in white coats. They cried out that the pollution had broken out and fled in panic.
Yuan Xu stared at the dark entrance to the secret passage and touched his chin.
Logically speaking, Miyadai Min's secret lab must have been guarded by mecha soldiers, making it easy to control and eliminate ordinary contamination. The reason so many people escaped... was most likely high-level contamination.
Then there is only one possibility left.
With his cooperation with Shi Hanyi, Xiyue, the God of Pollution, successfully advanced.
