Chapter 54
「Mechanic level meets the requirements」
「The number of mechas meets the requirements」
The amount of pollution meets the conditions
Pollution status meets the conditions
"Level 2 contamination zone has been activated, command completed"
The moment Xiyue used pure space to press Gong Daimin against the wall, the words in her eyes changed.
The contaminated area is open, the order is completed...
She suddenly understood.
No more remote control, she becomes the remote control!
Outside the pure space, contaminants transformed from mutated embryos surrounded them like giant spiders. Attracted by Miyashiro Toshi's living presence, they uttered shrill cries, but were blocked by an invisible barrier, unable to advance an inch.
Protected by the armor, Gong Daimin was unharmed. She didn't resist, staring into Xiyue's unfocused eyes.
"Okay, this level of contamination is great. Next, we can talk about how we can cooperate."
Xiyue blinked and focused her attention.
Xi Yue smiled: "You said you would give me one last chance. Sorry, I'm going to use this opportunity to kill you."
The inexplicable "instructions completed", but her purpose was not yet completed.
Gong Daimin was one of the biggest creditors, with the principal amount of debt due next month alone reaching 50 billion. Xiyue calculated that the total debt Xihai owed her was 180 billion.
It is better to act now than to wait for a day. Now that the opportunity is here, it would be a waste not to pay off this debt.
Miyagi Daimin chuckled, and the sarcasm in his tone was obvious.
The reconnaissance system clearly detected the situation in the room. The pollution concentration was a bit high, but the number of pollutants was only a dozen or so.
"With all this, you want to kill me? Xiyue, I'll give you another chance to choose."
Xi Yue smiled: "Tang Zhishang also said this before he died. Where is he now?"
He did not hide the murderous intent in his smile.
It seems that without showing some skills, the cooperation discussion can't proceed. Miyadai Min snorted coldly, and suddenly a strange golden stream surged from his mecha, winding across the wall and converging together.
Before Xiyue could react, the ball of strange gold quickly reorganized into a mecha clone and catapulted off the wall. During its flight, gun barrels reassembled from the backs of its two hands and fired a burst of shots.
All the pollutants fell to the ground almost at the same time, the screams turned into ear-wrenching moans, and the pale body shrank visibly to the naked eye.
"Can we talk now?" Miyadai Toshi was fearless, and even turned the mask transparent, with a mocking smile in his narrow eyes.
Times have changed, and now the person shaking his head has become Xi Yue: "I'll give you another chance."
As soon as she thought about it, another gray hole appeared above Gong Daimin's head and exploded at an extremely fast speed.
Gray mist slid through the pure space like a waterfall.
The dead or dying pollutants swelled up again, their pale skin turned bright red, and their limbs twisted like spider legs, rising inch by inch.
Under secondary pollution, all pollutants enter a frenzy mode.
But how much can the results change?
Gong Daimin was about to sneer, but saw Xi Yue retreat slowly. While she was not paying attention, he used an invisible force field to suppress the mecha clone against the wall.
The advantage of the mecha clone is that it is a "dead object" and cannot be attacked by pollutants. Therefore, there is a big weakness in the design process: it has extremely weak defense.
After being hit hard by Xi Yue, it immediately caved in, and its propulsion and combat systems failed simultaneously. Unless it turned into a strange gold and returned to Gong Daimin's body to be reshaped, it would be nothing more than a pile of scrap metal.
But Miyadai Toshi was entangled by the pollutants.
Without the pure space to help her resist, she was attacked from both sides. She simply stopped focusing on controlling her mecha clone and used her flamethrower to break free from the encirclement of the pollutants. Unexpectedly, Xi Yue rushed straight at her, facing the high-temperature flames, pushing her into the pollutants again.
The mecha main body can temporarily defend against the attack of pollutants, so Gong Daimin immediately retrieved the mecha clone. Unexpectedly, Xi Yue turned back again and smashed the mecha clone into the wall again.
After repeating the same process several times, the mecha clone was completely turned into a piece of scrap metal, and Gong Daimin's mecha body was also covered with scratches and bites from the pollutants.
The defense system is in jeopardy.
Although the purification space is just a space and seems to have a single function, Xiyue has long understood that the key lies in how she uses it.
Just like what is happening now, by cooperating with the pollutants, the battle-hardened S-class mecha will soon be in danger.
Fear finally crept into Gong Daimin's heart. Not to mention sitting down and talking with Xiyue after the pollution was eliminated, with Xiyue making trouble, even protecting himself in the polluted area became a difficult thing.
Gong Daimin made up his mind, retracted the gun barrel on the back of his hand, and strange gold surged from all parts of his body, transforming into fan-like scimitars. He twisted his body, and the whole person spun to break free from the contaminants, carrying with him scattered slime and flesh.
After creating a slight distance from the pollutants, the propulsion system was opened to the maximum and it suddenly rushed upwards.
The metal plates on the floor and walls of the room were supported by the walls, but the metal plates on the ceiling had no support. There was a ventilation duct on the metal plate. If the metal plate was lifted up and the duct was crushed, a gap would appear above the wall, large enough for someone to pass through.
At high speed, Miyadai Min spun like a high-speed drill with great force. However, at the critical moment, she drilled into an indestructible barrier.
Xiyue floated beside her, stretched out one hand slightly, and the pure space that expanded just blocked Gong Daimin's head.
No matter how high the quality of the magic metal, how good the mecha, or how high the mental strength... they cannot break through that barrier.
Its existence completely transcends the laws of the interstellar world.
"Go down."
Xiyue smiled and uttered three words, pressing her palm down.
Miya Daimin tried his best to withstand the tremendous pressure, but he could not stop his body from sinking.
Pollutants from all directions pounced on her one after another, clinging to her feet, legs, and body, biting her like crazy.
Finally, a crack appeared on the black mecha.
The gray fog was as thick as slick oil and quickly seeped into the cracks.
Gong Daimin's eyes were bloodshot: "Xi Yue!"
The speed of rotation slowed down, and finally stopped, then fell to the ground with a loud bang.
The pollutants rushed forward, and soon dispersed in confusion, because the breath of life in the broken mecha disappeared, and was replaced by a new companion.
But Xiyue's crisis was not over yet. Suddenly, an explosion sounded in her ears, metal fragments flew past, and polluted gases rushed towards the destroyed wall like a flood.
The gray fog was like a turbulent flow, blurring the figure of the person coming, but two similar scenes on the same night made Xiyue recognize him immediately - it was him again!
Qiao Mingjin!
Xi Yue subconsciously rushed forward, but unexpectedly, another mecha blocked her way, its back to Qiao Mingjin and facing her. The metal mask faded, revealing half of Yuan Xu's face.
Yuan Xu made a quick gesture.
Xiyue thought for a moment, then followed him out of the vent. The metal plate above was pushed open, and the polluted gas spread. The two of them zigzagged and zigzagged in the cramped space for a while before descending through another vent.
This is a space where pregnant women gather together.
Because the pollution alarm continued and no one came to let them out, they had already hidden back in their beds, shivering.
Fortunately, the entire laboratory is equipped with a space sealing device, so the polluted gas spreading over is not very thick. Even the garbage citizens with extremely low resistance will not be infected so quickly.
Xi Yue glanced in the direction of the crying sound and frowned: "This is a good opportunity to kill Qiao Mingjin."
"It's a good opportunity, but the central government will continue to send people. Do you know why Qiao Mingjin is here? He's nosy and has a strong sense of justice. If it were someone else, I can't guarantee that they would be easier to control than him."
This is an angle Xiyue had never thought of.
However, Xiyue did not know that Qiao Mingjin was investigating Gong Daimin, and after a brief contact, she had no way of knowing what kind of person Qiao Mingjin was.
Seeing Xiyue didn't refute, Yuan Xu closed the metal mask again and said, "Hide well. Learn how they are frightened and act like a victim later."
"Wait a minute, Xiang Jia and Xiao Ying are in the medical cabin nearby."
The medical cabin can temporarily block pollution, but if the concentration is too high, it won’t last long.
Yuan Xu raised his hand to show his reassurance and left through the vent. Another puff of gray fog poured in. Xi Yue's mind moved, and the Pure Space rushed forward to purify the polluted gas.
Han Yi had said that as long as she thought about not purifying, she could fly in the polluted area. Similarly, as long as she thought about purifying, she could eliminate the pollution.
Xiyue listened to the faint cries of fear from the pregnant women and simply wandered around, trying to eliminate as much pollutants as possible from the air. But then she realized the glass wall on one side was one-way, so she gave up and curled up in a random corner.
Not long after, a flash of light suddenly appeared in the air, so fast that it seemed like an illusion.
The door opened, and a team of mecha soldiers rushed in. The leader quickly shuttled around the activity center and exclaimed, "So many!"
"With such a huge case, even the highest reputation of Miyashiro Toshiko can't offset it. She's doomed!"
"Miyaro Toshi is dead."
The voice that spoke the last sentence was particularly familiar; it was Qiao Mingjin.
Xiyue pretended to know nothing and listened to the mecha soldiers organizing the pregnant woman to walk out. The dense footsteps gradually became sparse.
Just when she suspected that no one had noticed her, a cry of surprise came from above her head: "There's another one here!"
Xiyue began to tremble.
"The pollution has been eliminated. It's okay. Don't be afraid..." His voice changed. As Xiyue raised her head, Qiao Mingjin's words stopped abruptly. "...Xiyue?"
-
On weekdays, the mountains in Sector 42 appear solemn because of the small number of people, and have never been as lively as tonight.
The mountain was brightly lit, with dozens of starships from the central star region hovering low in the sky, and mecha soldiers carrying lighting equipment shuttled back and forth, attracting the attention of the entire star region.
The case was so serious that even the people from the Central Corps did not dare to reveal anything without authorization. Therefore, no one knew what exactly happened. They only thought that there was a pollution outbreak on the mountain.
But this is also very strange. If it is contamination, why didn't the 42nd Legion go out? Instead, why did they need support from the Central Army?
The reason was simple, but unknown to outsiders: all members of the 42nd Legion had their computers locked and were ordered to stay put and wait for investigation.
Clean up the battlefield, investigate and collect evidence, and comfort the hostages...
After the central support arrived, Qiao Mingjin no longer had to personally direct these tedious matters.
He looked around and walked towards a military tent.
One side of the tent was open, and the white light shone on Xiyue's face, making her complexion look particularly pale.
"Miss Xi."
Xiyue seemed to be lost in thought. Upon hearing this, she looked up in confusion. Seeing that it was Qiao Mingjin, she quickly stood up and said, "Thank you, Captain Qiao, for rescuing me today."
"real?"
"What?"
Qiao Mingjin looked into Xiyue's light brown eyes and said, "Is it me who saved you, or you who saved them? I'm not sure yet."
Xi Yue smiled bitterly: "Captain Qiao still doubts me."
"Then Miss Xi, please answer a few questions for me?"
"Just ask, Captain Joe."
"Are you pregnant?"
"No."
"Are you related to the Hele Tavern?"
"No."
"Are there any victims you know?"
"No."
"That's strange," Qiao Mingjin concluded. "This place is where Gong Daimin illegally breeds babies. Miss Xi isn't pregnant, and she has no direct connection to this place. How could she be here?"
Xi Yue continued to smile bitterly: "Since Captain Qiao is investigating me, he should know that I offended Commander Gong in Sector 29. It shouldn't be strange for me to appear anywhere as long as it is Commander Gong's territory."
"You mean, Gong Daimin kidnapped you? The mecha warrior who left General Yuan's residence was Gong Daimin?"
"Yes."
This answer made a dark light flash in Qiao Mingjin's eyes.
The loophole has been discovered. Xie Wenbo has already checked. When the mecha warrior escaped, Gong Daimin was on a starship entering the 40th star zone. There are travel records to prove that it is impossible for Gong Daimin to kidnap Xi Yue again.
However, before he could ask, Xi Yue added, "Although I don't know if it was Commander Gong himself, the mecha brought me here directly, so it must be Commander Gong's subordinate at the very least."
Qiao Mingjin's eyes darkened, his face expressionless, but he was actually very annoyed in his heart.
Xiyue's lie was so clumsy, but he had no evidence to prove that she was lying.
At this time, Yuan Xu came over with a lunch box.
"Captain Qiao is interrogating my servant again." He handed the lunch box to Xiyue, his hands in his pockets. "Last time he was a suspect, I had nothing to say. This time he's a victim. Isn't it inappropriate for Captain Qiao to do this?"
"General Yuan, are you overreacting?" Qiao Mingjin continued, "No one has seen General Yuan since we entered the lab. Where were you then?"
"Didn't I tell you before? We're going after the escaped criminal. In a case this heinous, not a single murderer can be let off!"
Qiao Mingjin was silent for a moment, then asked, "General Yuan brought me here to investigate Gong Daimin. His target wasn't her, but Miss Xi, right?"
This time, Yuan Xu admitted it generously.
"Captain Qiao is well aware of my situation as a lone commander, but even so, I still have to save face. Gong Daimin directly snatched someone from my mansion. If this gets out, where will I put my face?"
"As for Gong Daimin's case...it's such a coincidence. Otherwise, I would have reported it to the higher-ups long ago. Why wait until today?"
The lies are more clumsy than each other, and the tails are more slippery than each other.
Qiao Mingjin no longer had the heart to ask questions, so he nodded and walked away.
Xie Wenbo came forward, glanced at the two people in front of the tent, and asked in a low voice: "Captain, how are you?"
Qiao Mingjin shook his head and once again opened the video that the reconnaissance system had transferred to his computer. In the darkness, two figures, one large and one small, loomed.
This was the scene he captured just after breaking through the enclosed space, but soon the two people escaped from the ceiling.
Thinking rationally, they might be Gong Daimin's subordinates or accomplices, but his intuition told him that they were Yuan Xu and Xi Yue.
Feng Yang also came over and played with the purification bead he had just received, which was as big as his fist.
He said happily, "I didn't expect to get some military merit this time. Captain, we've calculated that whether it's a secondary pollution or a serious crime, the reward will be a lot of military merit."
Qiao Mingjin became increasingly depressed.
I always feel that the military merits obtained under such circumstances are full of irony.
