Chapter 67
Xiyue detonated a special command.
In fact, after the contamination zone command that was detonated in the 45th star zone and killed Gong Mao, Xiyue had not received any new commands until Yuanxu was injected with anesthetics and said, "I have lived 188 lifetimes."
Special instructions appeared in his eyes instantly.
The pollution zone level is "Level 1", the required mecha level is "S", the number of mechas is "1", and there is no limit on the number and status of pollutants.
Even though Xiyue didn't know about the existence of the awakened one, she immediately guessed it: the special instructions required her to kill Yuan Xu.
No wonder both Yuan Xu and Han Yi chose to be a riddle man, because the existence that monitors everyone's every move at all times really exists, and the moment Yuan Xu's identity was exposed, he intended to erase this person from the interstellar world through Xiyue.
Xiyue was not worried, but rather a little happy, because the special instructions just proved that the omniscient and omnipotent existence was bullshit.
The other party can only use her hands to kill people. As long as she doesn't kill, what can the other party do?
So they became more and more unscrupulous in breaking the window paper.
So Leng Chengzhou came.
Leng Chengzhou repeatedly stated that he was there for the Supervisory Order, but Xiyue was certain he had other motives. After all, she assumed the Interstellar Commander was also the God of Pollution, and Leng Chengzhou, as the Commander's trusted confidant, was no good.
So Xiyue chose to provoke Wan Bing and others, and then unexpectedly detonated the first-level pollution caused by the special instructions.
While everyone is off guard, first deal with Wan Bing, knock him against the wall, and use pure space to crush him into a juicy pancake.
If possible, killing Leng Chengzhou first would naturally be the best choice, but Xiyue's intuition told her that he wouldn't be so easy to kill. As it turned out, she was right.
Leng Chengzhou opened the mecha box faster than Yuan Xu, and gave up everyone without hesitation to attack Yuan Xu.
He came for Yuan Xu and Xiang Jia!
By the time Xi Yue killed all the security guards, Yuan Xu was already struggling under the crushing power of Leng Chengzhou. His black mecha was covered in cracks, and even if it was repaired in time, it could not stop the blood from flowing out.
If the polluted gas had not been too thick, seriously affecting the detection function of the infrared image and thus obscuring Yuan Xu's position, I am afraid that Yuan Xu and even Xiang Jia would have died under Leng Chengzhou's attack and turned into pollutants.
However, Leng Chengzhou had many ways to overcome the visual obstruction.
Wrapped in the dark blue mecha, his speed was outrageous. Yuan Xu had just taken a sip of nutrient solution to resist the infection when the other party appeared leisurely above his head, holding a lightsaber in his left hand and a magnetic knife in his right hand, slashing down alternately!
Bang!
At the critical moment, he was knocked out.
Xi Yue felt the rare tremor of the pure space and pressed Leng Chengzhou against the wall. Before she could say a word to Yuan Xu, the pure space was forced to retreat little by little.
The opponent's power is so great that even pure space cannot suppress it.
But in this way, Leng Chengzhou's back was completely wrapped in gray fog, and the fog carried his breath to the surrounding pollutants, and all the pollutants rushed towards him with a scream.
Leng Chengzhou did not dodge or evade. Suddenly, a very bright light appeared in the core of the chest. The light swept through his body like an electric current, and then disappeared into the deep blue mecha. When the pollutants hit him, the light instantly burst out with a brightness tens of millions of times greater.
Not a single pollutant had time to howl as they were hurled in all directions. Some of the remaining limbs collided with Xiyue's pure space, erupting into a puff of pitch-black ash.
Xiyue frowned.
There are so many pollutants caused by human mutations. She even activated the fifth-level pollution to make them enter a violent mode. How could they be so vulnerable?
Before he could figure out what to do next, a bright spot of light appeared in front of Leng Chengzhou's chest.
This time, the light spot did not spread or disappear, but expanded rapidly into a light spot, and suddenly exploded before Xiyue could make any move.
The extremely surging mental power immediately occupied everyone's attention. It was released and then retracted. The huge polluted area suddenly turned into a fist-sized purification bead, floating in front of Leng Cheng.
But he didn't even glance at the Purification Pearl, and took advantage of the moment when Xiyue lost the pure space and fell to continue attacking Yuanxu!
Yuan Xu's reaction was quite fast. The bright light and shadow of his mental power still lingered in his vision, but his left hand had already condensed a magnetic knife. He pushed hard on the wall with his right hand, and his whole body was ejected along the ground.
Leng Chengzhou quickly followed.
The lightsaber and the magnetic knife collided, and the tiny light spots that splashed out were swept up by the magnetic field, making Yuan Xu seem to be wandering in a long silver river.
The picture is romantic, but actually dangerous.
Fortunately, the high-speed movement weakened the power of Leng Chengzhou's lightsaber. Yuan Xu's magnetic knife not only did not break, but continued to retreat with the propulsion force transmitted from the lightsaber.
Boom…Boom…Boom…
The metal plate, already corroded into a honeycomb by the polluted gases, was naturally unable to withstand the two men's impact, and both the plate and the wall behind it were pierced. After destroying several walls in a row, Yuan Xu finally pressed his hand on a relatively sturdy metal plate and flew back in the opposite direction, flying close to the ground.
Xiang Jia heard something wrong and came out of the bedroom wrapped in a white mecha. He was startled to see Xi Yue watching the battle leisurely with his arms folded.
At the same time, the reconnaissance system allowed her to identify the black shadow flying close to the ground.
Xiang Jia subconsciously wanted to rush over to help, but Xi Yue stretched out her arm and stopped her.
Xiang Jia was puzzled: "Leng Chengzhou is very likely to be super S-level, much stronger than Yuan Xu..."
Xi Yue smiled and shook her head. Without explaining, she simply raised her voice, "Admiral Yuan came to the Central Star Region to negotiate for the protection of the trash citizens within the 33rd Legion's jurisdiction. Not only did the Central Star Region refuse to listen, they even sent out Super S-class mecha warriors to hunt down Admiral Yuan. If this were to become public, even if Admiral Yuan tragically died, it would only ignite the wrath of everyone in the 33rd Legion, and indeed all the trash citizens..."
The logic was correct, but Xiang Jia was confused until the reconnaissance system captured an inconspicuous device in the air.
Flying camera.
She looked at Xiyue's hand again, and the groove for the flying camera on the computer was indeed empty.
Immediately afterwards, Yuan Xu, who had fled back from a distance, suddenly stopped, and Leng Chengzhou's figure was no longer above him.
Gunshots rang out.
The wall-penetrating bullet easily penetrated the tofu-like wall and shot towards the flying camera.
However, as it approached its target, it stopped.
Xi Yue flew into the air again, raised her hand slightly, and used pure space to stop the bullet. At the same time, the flying camera penetrated the invisible barrier and returned to the optical computer.
Level five pollution exploded from the small gray hole with a delay.
Xi Yue suddenly rushed forward, using pure space to crash into the wall that was pierced by bullets. Through the gray fog and smoke, she looked at Leng Chengzhou who was behind the wall from a distance.
"Go on. What? You don't dare to kill me?" Xi Yue smiled. "Or you can choose to kill me and take my computer - if you can do it."
Leng Chengzhou's face was hidden behind the metal mask, and he remained silent.
Yuan Xu flipped over, bounced off the ground, flew to Xiyue's side, and knocked on the invisible barrier: "Open the door, let me breathe."
Xiyue took him into the pure space.
Yuan Xu removed his mask, revealing a sweaty, pale face. He took a deep breath and coughed up blood. His injuries weren't too serious; thanks to the pure space's exceptional decontamination capabilities, he instantly recovered from the mild infection.
He took another deep breath before complaining, "Can you please let me know in advance if you have any plans in the future? What if I really die in his hands?"
Xi Yue rolled her eyes at him and said, "You've already lived 188 lives, are you afraid of adding another one?"
"...That's true." Yuan Xu touched his nose. "But let's make it clear in advance. Even if I'm a garbage citizen without any mental power, I will come and hug your thighs. You owe me."
"Debt? How about I sign a contract for you?"
"...Forget it, just verbal will do."
The two of them were making meaningless jokes, as if they had completely forgotten about Leng Chengzhou.
Although the Level 5 pollution zone was small, the density of the gray fog was enough to obscure Leng Chengzhou's figure due to the altitude restriction. However, Leng Chengzhou quickly and slowly flew to the front of the pure space and hovered quietly.
With his mental strength, he could even fight level one pollution, let alone level five. However, he was also very clear that as a program life, Xiyue could open an endless number of level five pollution areas.
"Star Sector No. 29." After a series of battles, his breath was still very steady.
Xi Yue smiled: "Threat me? Forget about the 29th star zone. Even if you want to kill these two people around me, I won't stop you. Anyway, the worst that can happen is to start over again."
Leng Chengzhou was silent for a moment, then changed his tone: "Give me the light brain, and I'll let you go."
Xi Yue sneered: "I told you, if you want to kill me, then kill me."
Yuan Xu wiped his face helplessly: "Hey, Xiyue..."
But both of them ignored him.
Leng Chengzhou: "Tell me your conditions."
Xi Yue: "Get lost."
But she didn't say whether this was the condition she proposed.
Leng Chengzhou silently looked at the message reflected in his eyes, but did not bother to argue anymore. He broke through the glass and flew out, but soon turned back, with anger faintly revealed in his voice.
"You sent it out?!"
"Did I say I wanted to negotiate terms with you?" Xi Yue asked as a matter of course.
Just a second ago, she decisively posted the video she had taken on that post.
"The person above you is omnipotent, right? It shouldn't be difficult to ask him to delete a post or control the comments. Do you still need me to teach you?"
The atmosphere, which had finally relaxed, became tense again.
Leng Chengzhou didn't say much, and flew away from the hotel at an even faster speed. Yuan Xu reactivated his mecha visor, and seeing that the reconnaissance system couldn't detect the other party, he immediately flew out of the pure space.
He grabbed the Purification Pearl and said with a tut, "A thing worth one million Star Reputation Points, and you just say you don't want it. How generous. Xiyue, what about the old rule of 40/60?"
Xiyue glanced at him and said nothing.
Xiang Jia had already found the post where Xiyue had updated the video. Using his recently recovered command memory, he questioned and analyzed, "Xiyue, why did you expose the video? If you do that, I'm afraid Zhai Zhengqi won't be able to suppress the wrath of Legion No. 33, and the situation will only escalate..."
In terms of strength, while the 33rd Legion was considered a leader in the entire galaxy, it was still just one legion. Whether in terms of numbers or the sheer number of high-level psychic mecha soldiers, it was outnumbered by the Central Legion, not to mention the numerous legion supporters behind the Central Legion.
If a real fight breaks out, the central government won't even have to take action. The Sirius Legion alone will be enough to annihilate the 33rd Legion.
"There has never been a civil war in the interstellar world. We are all focused on resisting pollution. Because of the supervisory order, the 33rd Legion is currently in the right. But if the legion takes actual action against the central government, it will no longer be in the right and will become the public enemy of the entire galaxy."
Xiang Jia was very worried.
"You're getting too caught up in the drama." Yuan Xu fiddled with the purification beads and said, "Look at Miss Xi's frantic behavior. Does she really care about the lives of everyone in the 33rd Legion? She's right. Even if the worst happens, we'll just have to restart everything. After all, life in the cloud world is unlimited."
He paused, then continued, "But Xiyue, if you have any plans, please inform us. We're not afraid of death, but if we die, we can only come to you decades later... That's a bit of a waste of our combat power, isn't it?"
Xiyue didn't comment, thought about it, and finally expressed what was in his mind.
"I want to see the commander-in-chief."
Yuan Xu was stunned: "Then why didn't you just propose conditions to Leng Chengzhou?"
"Then I'll correct it," Xiyue smiled, "I want the commander to come and see me."
-
Polluted gases hit the ground like a waterfall, and gray fog surged and spread, engulfing nearby buildings.
The tide in the first-level pollution area will last at least six hours before it subsides.
Compared to here, the first-level pollution area that appeared in the S Hotel was like a flash in the pan, erupting quietly and ending quietly.
All the starships bypassed the two contaminated areas, forming a dark area visible to the naked eye between the two. In the area, a deep blue shadow shot straight to the top of the waterfall.
The speed was so fast that even the mecha soldiers stationed around the contaminated area were unable to catch it.
Qiao Mingjin still persisted.
Thanks to the top quality of the mecha and his own S-level mental strength, he was able to multitask, driving Qi Jin to repair the damaged parts of the mecha while using the sonic capturer to keep a close eye on the long and rhythmic breathing sound.
That was Leng Chengzhou's breathing.
The other party killed his adoptive father, but never left. For half an hour, Qiao Mingjin felt that he would never forget the sound of the other party's breathing until his death.
Until another identical breathing sound reached his ears.
Immediately afterwards, the electronic voice, which was still recognizable as Leng Chengzhou's, was also included in the monitoring range of the capture device.
Qiao Mingjin suffered cardiac arrest.
Two Leng Chengzhous... How is that possible?!
"What's going on?" Leng Chengzhou asked in a non-electronic voice.
"The commander ordered me to retreat." Leng Chengzhou's electronic voice replied.
"Awakened?"
“Not dead.”
Neither of them spoke, leaving only the sound of breathing in the same rhythm. It was so quiet that Qiao Mingjin could hear his own violent and heavy heartbeat.
If Leng Chengzhou, who was wearing a mecha, also turned on the sound wave capturer, it would be enough to capture his heartbeat.
Fortunately, the other party did not think that there would be anyone hiding in the first-level pollution area.
"I should go." The non-electronic voice said, "I can kill Xiyue."
"You can, but you can't." The electronic voice paused, "The commander let Shi Hanyi go, which means he won't attack Xi Yue."
After another silence, a non-electronic voice said calmly, "The commander is old."
At this point, all sounds quieted down.
Qiao Mingjin waited for a moment and adjusted the sonic capturer to track the breathing sound, but there was no result, only the shrill screams of the pollutants.
His mind moved slightly, and the mecha burst into high temperature, immediately repelling the pollutants on his body. Then he followed the source of the sound and found Bo Yucheng's villa.
There is no trace of its original appearance left.
Bo Yucheng also turned into a pollutant and no one knew where he had gone. However, in the living room, on a relatively intact wall, there was a clearly discernible human figure. In the middle of the human figure, the pollution deposits were much lighter than elsewhere.
It was obvious that Bo Yucheng was pressed against this wall before he died.
Qiao Mingjin stretched out his hand, the strange gold on his palm faded, and he pressed it lightly.
Father… he thought to himself.
Admittedly, Bo Yucheng wasn't a good father. Like many high-ranking military officers, he was attracted by Qiao Mingjin's psychic potential and adopted him for utilitarian purposes.
Like many senior military officers, he would do anything to maintain his status and wealth, and could easily destroy the lives of 200,000 worthless citizens.
But, Bo Yucheng is Qiao Mingjin's adoptive father after all.
Raised him, taught him, protected him, promoted him... Taking him as a mirror, even if Bo Yucheng is not a good person, he is not bad to the core.
Perhaps... this is the most basic conscience accumulated by human beings over several lifetimes.
Qiao Mingjin was very rational and his reflection was very objective. He observed a moment of silence by the wall and then left.
The tides in the Level 1 pollution zone were extremely intense, and the villa was located at a high altitude. The polluted gases must have already reached the survival barrier. Compared to other directions, the upper direction was the most suitable and inconspicuous retreat.
