Ye Chong exited the starship. Just then, he heard a flurry of footsteps. The place was dead silent, and the footsteps were clear. Ye Chong's hearing was sharp, and he counted in his mind - 12 people!
Ye Chong crouched down, and under the cover of the starship, he saw a young boy of about 8 or 9 years old surrounded by a group of burly men. The little boy was dressed in a snow-white formal attire. From time to time, he would look around, and his pitch-black eyes were unusually lively. The 11 burly men around him were not particularly muscular, but they all had sharp eyes. Ye Chong found it strange.
Ye Chong found it strange. While these people had sharp eyes, they were not very skilled, be it in terms of physique or pace. Besides, the strangest thing was that they all had energy guns strapped to their waists, and some of them even carried their guns in their hands. This was the first time Ye Chong saw people carrying energy guns in the He Yue galaxy.
The 11 men did not look particularly strong, but from the way they stood and the alert look in their eyes, it was clear that they were well trained. The 12 of them were walking towards a starship.
"I didn't think we'd be able to escape here too." The young boy sighed, and spoke like an old man, with a maturity that did not match his age.
One of the burly men bowed and said, "Young Master Ming, our starship is just ahead. We'll be leaving soon, and the Leader hopes that you can return home as soon as possible. She's very worried about you. "
The young boy frowned, and spoke with dissatisfaction, "Going back to that boring place again. I thought I could finally get a few years of fresh air outside, and now this happens." Then, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. An eight or nine year old boy's rosy face revealed the expression of a little adult, which was extremely cute. However, none of the attendants around him laughed.
"It's probably man-made!" The young boy deduced, "Any clues?"
"No." The leader of the men shook his head, "The Leader also thinks that it's man-made, but we still don't know who did it. If we find out who did it, I'm afraid they won't be able to die easily. " This attendant's words were extremely pertinent. No matter who it was, if they were really found out, they would immediately become the public enemy of the entire Star Field.
The little boy said hatefully, "If I find out who did it … Hmph, damn it, how dare they interrupt my vacation! It's unforgivable! "Waving his little hands, he was extremely agitated. This time, the attendants at the side couldn't help but smile.
Ye Chong, who was lying in ambush at the side, had his eyes on them the moment he saw them. What he lacked right now was the crew to pilot the starship, and this group of people came right to his doorstep! It was obvious that these people were planning to leave in a starship. They must know how to do that.
Ye Chong was like a hunter, waiting in the dark for the best opportunity. The blue lines in his eyes kept changing. These dots and lines would constantly change according to the movements and positions of those people, which gave him a headache.
Ye Chong narrowed his eyes as he watched the group of people approaching him.
They were now only 10 meters apart. Ye Chong's position was perfect, hidden in the shadows, with a metal plate in front of him. For a combat expert like Ye Chong, such a close distance was definitely something he would love to experience.
Letting a Jie expert within 10 meters of him would be a fatal mistake!
Ye Chong bent his legs slightly, and with a sudden burst of strength, he shot forward like an arrow, right into the middle of the group of people! This sudden turn of events caused everyone's expressions to change!
The distance between the two sides was too close!
It was like a nightmare for a Jie expert to be ambushed at such a short distance.
The man closest to Ye Chong did not even manage to raise his energy gun halfway before Ye Chong landed a light palm strike on the side of his neck. The man fainted.
These people were well-trained, and did not panic. The man next to the little boy immediately picked up his young master and tried to dodge to the side. The rest of the people quickly moved closer to the young master, trying to stand between Ye Chong and the young master.
Those with guns opened fire immediately, not caring if they would accidentally hurt their comrades.
If Ye Chong allowed them to escape at such a close distance, he would be better off slit his own throat. With a light tap of his feet, the energy beams all missed their target. They did accidentally hurt their own people, but these men were strong, and did not complain even when they were accidentally hurt by their own people.
Ye Chong was shocked. These people were good at shooting! At that moment, there were at least three energy beams that brushed past his body dangerously. In fact, Ye Chong could tell from the way these people pulled out their guns that they were not ordinary people. To be able to remain calm under such circumstances, these people must be excellent shooters!
Unfortunately, even the best shooters would fail if a Jie expert got close to them.
Ye Chong moved like a butterfly, leaving countless afterimages in his wake. It was hard to tell which one was real. These people were much better than the average person, but Ye Chong could not see through them. If he only wanted to kill them, they would have all been dead by now. However, Ye Chong needed to keep them alive, so it would take some effort.
The little boy was the core of this group! Ye Chong moved like a fish in water, and his hands swept across the bodies of the men!
Peng, it was as if this group of burly men had suddenly exploded, and several figures fell out of the room.
There were only two people left before Ye Chong. The man stood protectively behind the young master, his eyes fixed on Ye Chong.
What a sharp gaze! Ye Chong was impressed, but he found it strange. With such sharp eyes, how could he be so weak?
But why were his eyes still so calm?
Suddenly, Ye Chong felt a sense of danger! Almost instinctively, Ye Chong pushed off with the tip of his foot. Bang! The floor cracked, and he dodged to the side!
Ye Chong's reflexive movement saved his life!
An energy beam as thick as a thumb passed through his arm, and the position it passed through was exactly where his heart had been just now.
The pain was excruciating! Ye Chong could not remember the last time he was injured, and this time, he almost lost his life. On his left arm, there was a bloody hole the size of a thumb. The edge of the wound was black, a burn mark left by the energy beam. Ye Chong did not have time to check if it was a bone wound. As long as it was not a bone wound, an injury of this degree would heal in two hours.
D * mn it, there's someone in the dark!
Ye Chong felt a chill down his spine. What a terrifying shooter! From the moment he launched his attack until now, he had been moving at a high speed. It was obvious from the afterimages in the field. The opponent could lock onto him so accurately even when he was moving at such a high speed. If he had not dodged to the side, that shot would have killed him!
The timing of this shot was also impeccable. Seeing his companions being knocked down one by one, he was able to endure it and use his young master as bait. This person was definitely a very experienced veteran.
Pfft!
Another shot. An energy beam brushed past Ye Chong's ear and hit the ground in front of him.
Ye Chong could smell the stench of death. The muscles in his feet expanded. Between life and death, Ye Chong dared not hold anything back. Thanks to the September Lan Family's muscle control technique, Ye Chong sped up. Every step he took seemed light, but was actually very heavy.
The floor, which was made of high-strength composite materials, exploded and splinters flew everywhere. The dust also made Ye Chong's figure more elusive, and harder to see.
Ye Chong was using all his strength. This was definitely the fastest he had ever been!
Seeing the man who was about to leave with his young master, Ye Chong used the dust as cover and pounced towards the two of them. As long as he could catch the young master before the hidden sniper could hit him, he would be victorious.
Ye Chong kept changing his position, changing directions at high speed. He moved like a ghost, and was difficult to predict. However, the sense of danger lingered in Ye Chong's mind. Ye Chong did not believe that the opponent would stop there.
Even though Ye Chong was not moving in a straight line, he was quickly closing the distance between him and the young boy.
Three meters! It was only three meters. What was three meters to a Jie expert? It was just one step.
Ye Chong suddenly leaned forward, ready to pounce!
The fake move fooled the man.
Whoosh! Another laser beam grazed past Ye Chong's scalp and hit the ground, leaving a deep hole.
There was no time to lose. Ye Chong bent his hind legs and sprang forward. The man turned around, hoping to stop Ye Chong for a moment. He knew his comrade's strength. If he could stop him for just a moment, the terrifying ambusher would surely die.
Unfortunately, Ye Chong remained calm. The man's vision blurred for a moment, and he lost sight of his opponent. Then he heard the young master cry out in pain. The ambusher was holding the young master's neck, looking at them coldly.
A pained expression appeared on the young master's face.
"Come out," Ye Chong said coldly, but inwardly, he was relieved. However, he did not forget to put the hostage in front of him. He was still fearful of the terrifying sniper in the dark.
Ye Chong finally saw the enemy. This time, it was not because of his sharp eyesight, but because of the blue lines. The sniper's ambush was very successful. With Ye Chong's inexperienced eyesight, it would be impossible for him to detect the ambusher. However, the blue lines in his eyes revealed the exact location of the ambusher.
"What a good hiding technique," Ye Chong thought to himself, impressed. It was almost impossible to see him with the naked eye. Besides, the ambusher had protected himself well. There were only faint blue lines on his body, and no bright blue lines or blue dots.
Ye Chong's left arm was limp, and hung limply. Blood flowed from the wound down his arm, past his fingers, and dripped onto the floor.
The only man still standing spoke in a low voice, "Who are you? Why did you attack us? I think you must have misunderstood … "
Ye Chong ignored the man. He narrowed his eyes, and increased the strength of his grip. He looked at the sniper's position and said calmly, "Come out."
The expression of the burly man changed slightly. This time, he had encountered an expert!
"You win," a hoarse male voice rang out. The sniper finally stood up.
Bright blue dots and blue lines were all over his body. If Ye Chong could still move his left hand, he would have used his dagger immediately. Ye Chong would not be able to sleep well if he kept such a dangerous person by his side.
It was a pity that his left hand was useless.
The sniper raised his hands above his head and walked towards Ye Chong. Ye Chong finally saw the dangerous man clearly. He had a buzz cut and his head was as square as a steel wire. The contours of his face were very tough, but the scars on his face were like spider webs. It looked extremely frightening.
The scariest thing was his empty eyes, devoid of any signs of life.
"Knock them out." Ye Chong looked at the sniper.
Without any hesitation, the sniper knocked everyone out, including the only man still standing. He did not play any tricks. It was not wise to play tricks in front of a Jie expert.
"Bring them in."
The sniper was now doing hard labor, carrying the fainted men into Ye Chong's starship. Ye Chong was satisfied when he saw the fainted men.
Pfft! The sniper was also hit, and passed out. The little boy in his hand suffered the same fate.
Ye Chong heaved a sigh of relief, his face pale. The most important thing now was to treat his wounds. Losing too much blood would be detrimental to his body.
However, before Ye Chong went to treat his wounds, Ye Chong took out some red silk and tied the men on the ground tightly. The red silk was a specialty of the Red Sea, and was extremely sturdy. The one Ye Chong had was the best of the best, and it was impossible to break free with brute force.
After that, Ye Chong walked towards the healing device. Every starship was equipped with a healing device. The interstellar journey was too long.
It had been five hours since Ye Chong returned to Ze Xi Academy. Other than his pale face and the hole in his left sleeve, Ye Chong did not look like he was injured at all. The main reason was that he had wasted a lot of time treating a few of the injured men. He did not want his hard-earned captives to bleed to death. Then all his efforts would be wasted, and he would be injured for nothing.
Fei Si ran to Ye Chong in a panic when she saw him. "Great! You're back. Sigh, they're infected. "
"Virus?" Ye Chong was surprised.
Fei Si nodded quickly. "Yes, it should be a variant of the H virus. Most of the patients were the injured students and teachers. " She brought Ye Chong to a few infected students. They looked horrible, with brown spots all over their bodies, and they were all lying on the ground.
Ye Chong was shocked. "You mean, the injured are all infected?" He remembered clearly that Old Jalopy was also slightly injured.
Fei Si hesitated for a moment. "Very likely. For humans, the H virus is usually infected through blood. For other organisms, however, there are many ways of infection. "
"How are you sure it's the H virus? Why are the other injured people fine? "Ye Chong asked. He took a glance at Old Jalopy, who seemed to be in good spirits.
Fei Si explained, "My teacher and I are both researchers of the H virus. The incubation period of the H virus is not fixed. Some may be long, others short. The longest can be up to 10 years, while the shortest will be within 24 hours. "She spoke with deep concern.
Ye Chong looked at Fei Si and asked, "Then what's the solution?" The only thing he could be thankful for was that Old Jalopy's illness did not act up. However, if he did not solve this problem, Old Jalopy would be like a ticking time bomb that could blow his life away at any moment.
Where could he find another expert in ancient machinery?
Fei Si's expression darkened. "It's a pity that the chip was lost. It contains information on over 30,000 variants of the H virus that my teacher and I discovered. Otherwise, we might be able to find some clues from it. Sigh, that's my teacher's life's work. "The chip was already broken into pieces by the rats. However, she quickly realized that this was not the time to think about it. After a moment's thought, she said, "We can analyze the structure of this H virus, maybe we can find a solution."
"Maybe?" Ye Chong frowned. He did not like the word.
"Hmm, I'm not sure." Fei Si said helplessly, "The H virus is very compatible with other viruses. It's often used as a culture medium. This is the worst case scenario."
"How can we analyze its structure?" Ye Chong asked.
Since it was a professional question, Fei Si answered quickly, "As long as we have a micro analyzer." She did not forget to add, "Only Engradie Academy has this kind of equipment. They're rich."
