After a long time, Chen Dong finally found Xia Fei on a hill in the south of the city. He was sitting on a boulder, smoking, with his back to the smoke rising from the city.
"The city is already in chaos. Butcher and his men are fighting with Hook's men. Both sides have suffered casualties, but Hook's men have lost their momentum. I'm afraid they won't last until tomorrow morning," Chen Dong said.
Xia Fei nodded nonchalantly. "There aren't many good people in this city. Those warriors need to vent their anger after being wronged for so long. No one can stop them now."
Chen Dong sat next to Xia Fei, facing the dark sky with him. The weather was especially sunny tonight, with countless stars twinkling in the night sky.
"You don't seem to care about what happened to Hook. I wanted to help you kill that b * stard, but I'm worried about you, so I came to take a look. If we go now, we might be able to stab him a few more times, "Chen Dong said.
Xia Fei shook his head. "I'm not interested. The outcome is set. Hook's life has nothing to do with me. Besides, he's not the one who got me into this mess. He's just a pawn at most."
Chen Dong sighed. "What about that girl? Did you find her? "
"Nope." Xia Fei answered with a slightly hoarse voice. "Her warship had just taken off when I reached the spaceport in the south of the city. I only managed to catch a glimpse of her."
"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Chen Dong slapped his thigh. "I got a Tristan-class warship with decent performance from home. We might be able to catch up to her if we go after her now."
"It's no use. Her warship is equipped with a cloaking system. It turned invisible the moment it took off," Xia Fei said.
Chen Dong nodded. A warship with a cloaking system was indeed not easy to deal with. Unless they used a large-scale weapon and used an electromagnetic shockwave to shake it out of the sea of stars, they could only watch it leave.
Chen Dong's warship did not have an electromagnetic bomb, and even if it did, it was already too late. After all, the explosion range of the bomb was very limited.
"A cloaking system is expensive, and only the core organizations or countries in the Alliance can buy it. I'm afraid your friend isn't simple," Chen Dong said.
Xia Fei shook his head. "No, she's actually very simple."
Chen Dong did not pursue the matter. Just like Xia Fei, he did not like to interfere in the affairs of others. Perhaps this was also due to Xia Fei's influence.
Madman, why are you here? Xia Fei asked.
"Hi!" Chen Dong frowned. "It's all because of you. Ever since I heard what you said, I don't know what to do anymore. I agree to anyone's request. Now, I'm busy with other people's business all day. I don't have any time."
Xia Fei smiled. "Isn't that good? Otherwise, you wouldn't have met me on this planet."
Chen Dong fell silent. He suddenly felt that Xia Feis theory made sense. If he had not mistakenly entered that place, he would not have met Xia Fei. Now that Xia Fei was out of danger, he was naturally safe. Just a moment ago, Chen Dong was still thinking about how he could save him.
"Speaking of which, how exactly did you escape from the Blood Matrix? I've been thinking about it for a long time, but I still can't figure it out. The energy of those pulse laser beams is quite high. Even with my ice armor protecting me, I couldn't block them. Luckily, you're out now, or else I would have been worried sick," Chen Dong said.
Xia Fei said, "Those lasers are called focused pulse laser beams. They have a higher energy value than normal laser beams, so normal people naturally can't get through them.
"However, this kind of laser beam has its own fatal weakness. Due to its high energy value, it needs a compound energy reactor as the energy output unit. This compound reactor consists of a main reactor and many smaller reactors around it, so it takes up a lot of space.
"When I came to this town, I looked around carefully. There was no building that could accommodate a large reactor, so I guessed that the reactors were built underground, and the Blood Matrix's underground was the most likely.
"That's why I secretly convinced Butcher to help me find the location of the reactor and destroy it. As long as the reactor's outer container is damaged in the slightest, the energy core will be affected, and the entire system will be useless."
Chen Dong's mouth was agape. He was an excellent warrior, possessing all the necessary mental fortitude and skills for combat, but he was clueless when it came to things like technology and warships. Xia Fei's explanation sounded like a heavenly book to him.
"So you and Butcher planned to destroy the reactor right from the start? Those cracks on the ground were created by you guys on purpose? "Chen Dong was confused." I really couldn't tell. I just thought that you guys were fighting each other. "
Xia Fei smiled. "That's exactly what we wanted. Find the location of the main reactor in the middle of the battle and destroy it."
Chen Dong thought about it. "Since you knew that the main reactor was in the center of the site, why didn't you just destroy it right away? Why waste so much effort to destroy the ground around it? "
Xia Fei answered, "There's a small detector on the combat suit that detects nuclear substances. The alloy plate can block the detection, so we could only keep making small cracks on the ground and observe the radiation changes between them. The place with the highest concentration is the location of the main reactor."
It was not just Xia Fei's Bloodthirsty Ice God. Almost every combat suit had a radiation detector to detect if there was any danger in the surrounding environment. It could be said that Hook's biggest mistake was not taking away Xia Fei's combat suit. He was too confident in his pulsed laser array, which was why he ended up like this.
Little did he know that although the laser array was strong, it could only defend the top, and the ground was still weak under the extreme attacks.
Every system had its advantages and disadvantages, and none of them were perfect. Perhaps the Titan warship that Xia Fei had seen was the closest to perfection, but it was not perfect in the true sense of the word.
Aside from Hook's underestimation, Xia Fei's knowledge in the field of technology played a key role. If a warrior who did not understand pulsed laser was in the same situation, he would not be able to escape even if his cultivation was much higher than Xia Fei's.
…
Xia Fei was in a bad mood after failing to find Xiao Yu. Chen Dong sat with him on the mountain peak for the whole night, and the fire and killing in the city lasted the whole night, too.
Early in the morning, a thin layer of fog rose, and the sun slowly peeked out. The fire in the city was extinguished with the arrival of the sun, and everything became quiet.
Xia Fei stood up and said to Chen Dong, "It's about time. Let's go take a look in the city."
The two of them descended the mountain and walked on the muddy road into the city. Along the way, they saw several warriors who had been imprisoned in the Blood Matrix. They were covered in blood and holding a lot of spoils of war.
There was no need to mention Xia Fei's contributions. If not for him, these people would have become wandering ghosts in the wilderness sooner or later. Some of these warriors shyly smiled at Xia Fei, some passionately hugged Xia Fei and expressed their gratitude, while others boldly stuffed the loot they had snatched into Xia Fei's pocket, not even wanting it.
Xia Fei and Chen Dong stopped along the way and arrived at the house where Hook used to live.
There were hundreds of corpses hanging from trees in front of the house, their bodies riddled with wounds that looked like a beehive. It was clear that the hatred these warriors had for Xia Fei had gone beyond the realm of reason. Actually, this was very normal. Warriors were more or less stained with the smell of blood.
"Xia Fei, you're here!" Butcher had already become the leader of these warriors, and he was waiting at the door with a large group of people.
"Where have you been all night?" Butcher asked.
Xia Fei smiled and did not answer him.
