Chapter 19
Shi Liheng couldn't figure out how Xi Yue did it.
Didn't she have any awakened spiritual power at all? How could she move freely in the polluted gas? It even seemed like she had brought this polluted area upon herself?
Could it be that the God of Pollution really exists?
The polluted gas surged from the wound throughout his body. He could no longer move and could only watch Xi Yue put away the so-called "ghost money", expressing resentment and fear with turbid eyes.
Xi Yue noticed his look and smiled maliciously, "Why, do you really want it? There's no underworld in the interstellar world. What's the point of having ghost money? Why don't I take it back and leave it to someone else?"
Shi Liheng used all his strength to grit his teeth, but unexpectedly his teeth suddenly bit into a hard object and he felt a sharp pain.
Suddenly, a blood-red bone spur formed from a mutated cervical vertebra emerged from his mouth, and the blood it brought out dyed his pale face red.
He began to mutate.
When the pollution alarm sounded throughout the general's mansion, the guards outside the study rushed out immediately.
This is not the first time that pollution has broken out in the Admiral's Mansion, but no matter when, the two mecha star teams stationed in the mansion can eliminate the pollution in the first time.
The mecha was fully operational, flying all the way to the first floor gate. Several starships, loaded with people from the mansion, were already in the air.
However, the guards sensed something was wrong.
The sky was filled with the figures of mechas, and the optical computer message projected onto the retina by the mask showed that no one had found the location of the contaminated area.
He was startled and rushed back to his study on the second floor. The corridor was silent, with only the piercing sound of the alarm repeating in a continuous loop.
Logically speaking, the admiral should have run out the moment he heard the alarm!
The guards began pounding on the door. The mechanical force shattered the decorative wood panel of the study door, revealing the steel plates within. These plates were not only thick, but also, like the material of the mecha, they had been mentally tempered, making them extremely defensive.
The contaminated space sealing function was turned on... It was a device that could seal off polluted gases and trap pollutants for a certain period of time. With just his mecha, let alone ramming it, it might not be able to be destroyed even if all the mecha's weapons were used.
Unless the person inside opens the enclosed space himself.
The guard was anxious and immediately notified the other teammates, then slammed the steel plate hard: "Admiral, are you still in there, Admiral! Everyone in the mansion has been evacuated, Admiral, you can lift the space seal! Admiral!"
Suddenly, with a click, the steel plate moved outward an inch and then slid into the trough.
The thick gray fog finally found an outlet and surged out.
The guard, confident of the protection of his mecha, was about to go upstream when a figure suddenly jumped out from the gray fog.
Crack...his mask shattered.
The scarlet bone spur happened to pierce his eye. Amidst the severe pain, he relied on his training instinct to fire an air bomb to repel the pollutants that were pressing on his body.
A heart-wrenching scream immediately erupted from his mouth. Strangely, the indescribable pain quickly subsided as the polluted gas seeped into his injured eye through the hole in his mask.
He was infected...directly harmed by the pollutants, an infection countless times more serious than gas penetration!
Nutritional supplements... At this time, you must take the highest level of nutritional supplements to suppress the infection...
Fortunately, the mask did not damage the mouth part, and as the neural instructions were transmitted to the mecha box, a metal straw formed in the mask.
The guard immediately bit the straw.
However, the life-saving nutrient was still in the tube when a heavy object suddenly fell down, denting his entire mask.
This time, he didn't even have the chance to scream in pain because the metal mask was stuck tightly to his mouth, restricting all movement.
Xipo was holding a jade ornament, standing beside Xiyue, breathing heavily.
I only heard my sister ask, "How can I shut down his mecha?"
Humans are alive, mechas are dead. Xipo tried several times and finally mastered the intersection of the edge of pure space and the mecha, and operated it.
The guard's steel coat quickly flowed back to his back, revealing his face that had lost its human form.
However, the guard didn't die. Taking off his armor gave him a breather from the suffocation. He was kicked over by Xipo, who forcibly removed the armor box.
"No... please, don't take my mecha..."
He pleaded incoherently, and the eye that was pierced by the bone spur had mutated into petals covered with fine teeth, like a carnivorous plant.
"He was infected so quickly, he must be Class B," Xipo said.
Xi Yue looked at the guard's strange eyes and smiled, "Don't look at me like that. You stole my jeweled belt, and I stole your mecha. It's fair, isn't it? The only difference is that you didn't succeed, and I did."
She pulled Xipo forward, and the guard was flung into the gray mist by the force field and disappeared.
"That should be enough, let's go."
As Xi Yue finished speaking, the rolling intensity of the fog not far away suddenly intensified, and a mecha fell from the sky.
She immediately retreated with Xipo, keeping some distance.
Hidden by the fog, you can vaguely see that it is a pure white mecha, which is obviously worth a lot of money.
However, she had killed the guard by ejecting Shi Liheng with pure space, and now Shi Liheng had disappeared, and the guard had also been ejected. She and Xipo were left alone, with a bunch of inactivatable psychic weapons in their hands...
never mind.
Xiyue stared at the mecha without blinking and continued to retreat. Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to notice her and didn't follow.

On the reconnaissance screen, the two white dots at the back, representing the heat source, were getting farther and farther away.
Yuan Xu smiled, his gaze focused on the pollutants before him. The carnivorous plant had grown, and behind its dense, sharp teeth, in the center of the flower, lurked a blood-red pupil.
However, the guard still retained some rationality, and his other eye, covered with white film, showed a look of pleading for help.
"I'm sorry, I can't help you with this kind of mutation."
Hiss—the high-energy ray accurately penetrated the red-eyed creature, burning its brain to ashes.
Following the guidance of the reconnaissance system, the white mecha arrived in front of another pollutant in an instant.
——It’s too early to talk about pollutants. After all, Shi Liheng’s mental strength is the best among A-level. Even if he is injured and looks miserable, as long as he takes the most effective anti-infection nutrient in time, there is still room for rescue.
Like the guard, he saw the white mecha coming and raised one hand to call for help.
However, after the mecha mask became transparent, Yuan Xu's mischievous face was revealed.
Yuan Xu held his hand and squatted down in front of him.
"General Ishigami, just tell me what you want. Oh, you're blocked by this bone spur, right? I'll help you remove it."
"Ah...does it hurt? General Ishigami, don't faint. You haven't told me what you want yet."
"What? I can't hear you clearly. Nutrients? I do have this stuff, and it's the best. But, General Ishigami, have you thought it through? Do you really want it?"
"Even if the infection is contained, given your condition, mental damage is inevitable. You might drop from A-rank to E-rank in an instant."
"Wouldn't it be too cruel for you, General Ishigami, to be a trash citizen?"
"Oh no, I can't accept it. The hero's old age is too sad. I have a weak psychological endurance and can't accept this contrast. General Ishigami——"
"Can you understand me?"
"I knew you'd be understanding. After all, General Ishigami is so considerate. Then I'll gladly accept the wholesale market in Sector 28."
He was talking incessantly, but at an extremely fast pace. Before he could finish his words, there was a swish sound, and Shi Liheng's hand, which had been grabbed, was severed at the wrist.
On Yuan Xu's mechanical arm, the flywheel suddenly stopped and turned into strange gold and sank into the mecha.
He looked at Shi Liheng and inexplicably felt that the dull expression on that pale face was inexplicably cute.
So he reached out and pinched Shi Liheng's face.
At the same time, he sighed in the Star Team chat channel he had just joined.
"We found General Ishi. He... tragically met with death."

Theoretically, after complete sedimentation, the Level 3 pollution zone could cover an area of 100,000 square meters. While this sounds large, the actual diameter is only about 300 to 400 meters.
What's more, the polluted area is still in the tidal stage, and some of the polluted gases are constantly rising. When they actually fall to the ground, they cannot even completely cover the General's Mansion.
Fortunately, with the contamination outbreak, the gate to the Admiral's Mansion had long since lost its purpose and was unmanned. Most of the Mecha Star Team had already entered the contaminated area, and the few remaining were only hovering high in the sky. No one noticed the gate at the edge of the contaminated area.
Xiyue and Xipo successfully slipped out.
The Admiral's Mansion faced a wide road, usually deserted, and even more so after the pollution outbreak. The bustling area was high in the sky, where those urgently evacuated boarded a starship, hovering far above where the pollutants couldn't reach.
Shi Liheng met with the person alone in his study, which had a regional space sealing device, so it was a lucky coincidence that no innocent people were implicated.
Xiyue raised her hand in satisfaction and high-fived Xipo to celebrate, but the latter had no reaction and just stared blankly across the street.
"Yaoyao?!"
Xipo rushed over carrying a big bag.
Xiyao was holding a child in her arms, trying to pull him away, but the child held onto the electric pole with his other hand and refused to leave.
"Yaoyao, didn't I tell you to wait in the hotel?!"
"...Brother, big sister!" Xi Yao rushed up and hugged Xi Yue, "I was waiting in the hotel, but suddenly I heard the pollution alarm here, so I wanted to come out and take a look. Big sister, it's you..."
Xi Yue stopped her from saying anything further with her eyes, and glanced at the little boy: "What is this?"
Xi Yao also realized that she almost let the cat out of the bag. She stuck out her tongue and explained, "I saw him when I just came over. He wouldn't leave when I pulled him, and he wouldn't answer when I asked him..."
She suddenly thought of something: "Sister, could he be from the General's Mansion?"
Xiyue and Xipo both looked at the starship in the sky and frowned.
Could it have been dropped accidentally during the evacuation?
Xi Yao discovered that the little boy who had been staring at the General's Mansion turned around and stared at Xi Yue calmly.
The night made his pupils look extremely black.
"Little boy, what's your name?" Xi Yue bent down in front of the little boy and tried to use a gentle tone.
The little boy stared at her face intently, seemingly not hearing her question at all. When Xi Yue asked the second time, he blinked his distinct black and white eyes and said, "Shi Hanyi."
Xiyue and Xipo looked at each other.
His surname is Shi, could he be Shi Liheng’s child?
Before she could react, Xiyue felt a chill on her hand, and the little boy actually held her fingers.
"Mother."
