He took a look at Qiu Man. She looked exhausted. He did not know what kind of torture Shang had done to Qiu Man, but the effect was obvious. Lian Yue, who had the same experience, looked at Qiu Man with sympathy.
Qiu Man knew a lot. Ye Chong, who did not have much hope, was surprised. She was about the same age as him. It had been more than 20 years. How could Ye Chong not be surprised that Qiu Man knew about it?
Ye Chong finally understood what Shang had done to him. Qiu Man's grandfather, Qiu Yuanlie, was one of the participants in the incident, but he was only responsible for the cleanup. Everyone now knew that the super Maverick they were worried about was Qiu Man's grandfather. That was why Qiu Man did not say anything. Qiu Yuanlie was promoted to the head of the Freedom Alliance's intelligence department because of this incident.
More than 20 years ago, it was inconceivable that someone could wipe out all traces of a famous person in the virtual world with his own ability. Even now, there were only a handful of such powerful Mavericks. It was the proudest achievement of Qiu Yuanlie's life. Therefore, every detail of the incident was recorded in Qiu Yuanlie's personal collection. That was why Qiu Man knew so much about it. However, she was afraid that Ye Chong and the others would harm her grandfather, so she refused to say anything.
Gao Shichang was the chief mech designer of Prometheus Group, and the Freedom Alliance was not as big as it was now. They had just infiltrated Prometheus Group from the inside. A talented person like Gao Shichang was the ideal candidate for the organization. However, Gao Shichang accidentally found out about the existence of the Freedom Alliance. The stubborn Gao Shichang was naturally unwilling to work for the Freedom Alliance. He was threatened and tempted, but Gao Shichang was unmoved. Later on, he was involved in a secret project, and was murdered.
Qiu Man had never seen Gao Shichang's holographic image, so she did not know if this Gao Shichang was Ye Chong's father. In that secret report, the one who executed Gao Shichang was his best friend of more than 20 years, who was also the strongest mech designer in Prometheus Group after Gao Shichang.
Of course, the most detailed part of this private collection was how Qiu Yuanlie had completely erased all information about Gao Shichang from the virtual world. Even Qiu Yuanlie himself had never seen Gao Shichang, but he had seen Gao Shichang's holographic image. Perhaps only he could tell if this Gao Shichang was really Ye Chong's father. Of course, Gao Shichang's so-called best friend would be able to tell the difference.
After a long while, it was still an unsolved mystery, and he was now in danger. Ye Chong felt discouraged.
Qiu Man clearly didn't know much about the inside story. Under Shang's pressure, she managed to gather quite a bit of information about the Freedom Alliance. However, Ye Chong was not interested in that. His priority now was to solve the problem at hand.
How to deal with Qiu Man was a headache. If he killed her, he could save a lot of food. However, they were of the same kind, and Ye Chong was not a bloodthirsty person, so he was a little reluctant. He simply let Qiu Man do whatever she wanted and did not interfere. The Coxcomb had nothing to keep secret anyway.
The Coxcomb was still cruising in the endless red mist.
While the red mist was thin and thick, they still noticed something different about it. As they moved forward, the red mist became thicker and thicker, but it was still changing periodically. They were nervous, not knowing what was ahead, whether it was good or bad, good or bad. Shang also knew that Mu was the better choice in this situation, so he took over the role of Mu, which he rarely did, and sank into the ground.
After a day or two, the red mist became thicker and thicker, but nothing unexpected happened.
Ye Chong, who had been nervous for two days, decided to ignore it, and immersed himself in the modification of the Guardian. The Guardian's strength had improved a lot after changing its engine, but Ye Chong was still not satisfied. Ye Chong had so many precious materials in his possession that it would make anyone jealous, but Ye Chong was reluctant to use them. Because according to Mu's information, he could not use them to their fullest potential. However, Ye Chong understood that everything was built on the fact that he could survive this obstacle. No matter how good the material was, it would be worthless if he lost his life.
Ye Chong took the Do Kun stone from Mu. He had a deep impression of the Do Kun stone. He could still remember the archaic blue spear from the Harmony of the Winter Aria. Even though it was only mixed with a little Duo Kun stone, it was so sharp that even Instructor Hak's mech was at a disadvantage against it.
Besides, he had so many other precious metals in his hands. Through Mu's database, Ye Chong chose a few formulas. These formulas were all calculated by Mu, and all the materials needed were already in Ye Chong's possession. Ye Chong experimented, and after wasting a small piece of Do Kun stone, he finally came up with the most optimal formula he could get. Perhaps only Ye Chong would be extravagant enough to experiment with Do Kun stone.
Ye Chong, who got the formula, started making the weapon without hesitation. With the formula, it was much easier to make the weapon.
Dagger. Ye Chong still chose the dagger, because it was the weapon he was most familiar with. Two huge daggers of 1.5 meters in length, which cost him almost all the mutated energy ores and rare ores he had. However, the result was equally impressive.
The dull grey dagger looked wooden, without any metallic luster. The design of the dagger was very simple, without any decoration, and looked very inconspicuous. However, no one knew the real value of such an inconspicuous dagger. Other than Ye Chong, no one would spend the Do Kun stone on a dagger like this. Even without the Do Kun stone, the value of the other precious metals and ores it consumed was immeasurable.
Ye Chong liked the two daggers very much. They were not showy, and they were strong. The sharpness of the two daggers was beyond everyone's imagination, including Mu. Ye Chong had not found anything on the Coxcomb that could not be cut by these two daggers. Besides, no one would expect the two daggers to be so sharp when seeing it for the first time. It would definitely catch the enemy off guard.
Even if he encountered a warship, if there was no one to interfere, Ye Chong could cut through it like cutting tofu with these two daggers.
The original two daggers of Guardian were kept as backup weapons by Ye Chong.
Ye Chong's only regret was that he could not use the teardrop mineralite in his hands. According to Mu, the teardrop mineralite was like a super concentrated energy cell. It was a pity that he did not have the most important material to activate the teardrop mineralite, the non-linear crystal cobalt, or he would have to consider using the teardrop mineralite as the energy source. According to Mu, the teardrop mineralite contained a huge amount of energy, enough for a warship to fly for a few years. If it was a mech, it could fly for decades or even centuries.
That would also mean that the combat radius of mechs and warships would be greatly increased. Fortunately, the teardrop mineralite was so rare that it could not be used on a large scale.
Ye Chong had a few teardrop mineralite in his hands, and even the technology to make them. Unfortunately, he did not have the non-linear crystal cobalt. Well, it was not a waste of time, at least Ye Chong had learned the technology to activate the teardrop mineralite. If he had the materials, Ye Chong could install the teardrop mineralite on Guardian and Coxcomb right away.
Ye Chong sighed softly and put the three teardrop mineralite into his waist pouch. The remaining four would be kept by Mu.
Ye Chong had consumed countless materials during his time here, and he was very familiar with the precious metals and ores. Mu's database of the metals and ores was almost torn to pieces by him. However, this also led to him remembering the appearance and characteristics of the metals and ores.
Seeing his abundant collection shrunk by half, even though he knew that most of them would be used by him, Ye Chong still felt a little heartache.
"Ye, something's wrong!" Mu's voice broke the silence of Coxcomb. Ye Chong, on the other hand, was energized. Nothing had happened for the past few days, and to be honest, everyone was feeling uneasy. A long journey of more than a month, with the constant fear of the unknown, even Ye Chong was feeling the pressure.
On the holographic screen, the Red Mist was now as thick as red liquid. Coxcomb's flight speed was obviously slowed down.
However, the most noticeable thing was not this, but the red threads that were flowing in the Red Mist from time to time. He didn't know when this red thread had appeared. Some were as thin as a hair, some were a few kilometers thick, but they were all extremely long, stretching for at least tens of thousands of kilometers. There were so many of these red threads, they looked like red seaweed in the middle of a red sea.
Coxcomb was entangled with many of these red threads, which made it look like a ship entangled with seaweed. Besides, the power of these red threads was beyond everyone's imagination. Under the pull of these red threads, Coxcomb was obviously deviating from its original trajectory.
The red threads increased in number, especially on Coxcomb's side. These red threads were all extremely long, waving with the flow of the Red Mist. One or two threads would not make a difference, but the force of hundreds of thousands of red threads waving at the same time was not to be underestimated.
Ye Chong noticed that these red threads were growing thicker and thicker!
Coxcomb was like a catalyst thrown into a pot of thick red porridge. In a very short time, everyone noticed that the number of red threads around them had increased by a few times. Everyone was shocked by this.
"Not good." Ye Chong knew it was not good. Almost the entire holographic screen was filled with the red threads. If they didn't think of a way, everyone would probably be wrapped alive in this layer of red silk cocoon, and being buried alive would probably be the only outcome. Besides, these red threads were extremely tough, and with Coxcomb's powerful momentum, it was impossible to break out of this layer of threads.
