Logically speaking, the defenses of the energy storage room should be quite good. Apart from the prison's internal main defense system, due to the fact that the energy storage room's potential instability was rather high, apart from the special storage room to prevent energy leakage, there was also a separate defense system. One had to understand that if a large number of energy blocks became unstable due to some unknown factor, once it exploded, a large half of the prison would be destroyed.
However, in this passageway leading to the energy storage room, there weren't any defensive robots to be seen. The area where the energy storage room was located belonged to a high radiation zone, so there were usually designated robot sentries. However, apart from the dead prisoners lying on the ground, there wasn't a single robot sentries to be seen.
Lung looked at the display on the life scanner, and then shook his head at Silin, indicating that there weren't any other life forms detected in this area for now.
No other life forms?
Looking at the state of the prisoners on the ground, it didn't seem like the work of robots.
After carefully looking around, Silin crouched down, placing his hand on the body of a prisoner who was already dead, but didn't have any injuries on the surface of his body.
"Heart shattered." Silin said in a low voice.
He then looked at a few other prisoners who also didn't have any injuries on the surface of their bodies, their conditions the same as this one. Most of the prisoners in this passageway died like this.
It wasn't the work of robots, but humans. However, what Silin Helong was confused about was, who had the ability to easily shatter the hearts of these prisoners without harming their bodies?
Was it someone from 'Azrael'? Or was it someone else?
Silin Helong walked towards the energy storage room even more carefully. He couldn't just blindly trust the life scanner. Sometimes, even machines could 'lie'.
The door to the energy storage room was open, and there were no signs of forced entry. The thick custom-made cabin door was open very obediently, and at the same time, there were some energy fluctuations coming from the energy storage room.
These energy fluctuations weren't that great, and could even be said to be quite docile. However, it was precisely because of this that Silin Helong became even more nervous.
There were only docile energy fluctuations inside the energy storage room, no other activity, not even human breathing. Was it really a robot?
Silin Helong arrived near the door, but didn't enter immediately. Lung released a small spherical detector, and the small ball floated in the air as it flew towards the door of the energy storage room. However, when it reached the door, its program momentarily went haywire, and it immediately rolled away, rolling away extremely quickly.
Lung: "…"
Silin gestured for him to go over and take a look.
As he carefully moved to the door, Silin could already feel the obvious magnetic field around the storage room's door. No wonder Lung's probing device had gone haywire. This should also be the reason why the robot sentinels did not appear here.
However, when Silin saw the person inside, he was no longer in the mood to think about the robot sentinels and the changes in the magnetic field.
It was actually a human!
Seeing that Silin's entire body was tensed up but he was not attacked, Lung quickly moved over and looked at the storeroom. When he saw the person inside, Lung's pupils shrunk.
The box containing the energy blocks had already been opened. The man had his back to Silin and the others, one hand directly placed on the energy block. After all, the energy blocks here were not like the energy blocks used in small household appliances. The energy blocks here were stacked in large chunks that were one meter high. However, Silin could clearly see that the energy blocks in the box next to him had already been exhausted.
That person was absorbing energy!
Without using any other medium, he could actually directly absorb energy from the energy blocks?!
However, thinking back, Silin seemed to have done something similar himself.
That person did not seem to notice Silin Helong's arrival. He did not move or turn around at all, still maintaining his original posture. However, Silin was willing to bet that the person had definitely noticed the two of them a long time ago.
Before seeing this person, one would not have been able to sense that there was someone here. This person had too little presence. However, after actually seeing him, it felt absurd, like a combination of contradictions.
Silin Helong very tacitly did not disturb the person's energy absorption, nor did he want to attack and steal the energy blocks while he was absorbing the energy. However, if he left immediately, he did not know if he would be directly obliterated. At least, Silin felt that if he did that, that person would be ruthless and ruthless. Otherwise, there would not be so many dead prisoners around here.
Silin gave Lung a look. It was best not to act blindly without thinking.
Not long after, other prisoners came over. When they saw the energy blocks, they also showed greedy looks.
Silin Helong flashed to a corner of the storeroom to avoid a direct confrontation with these prisoners. These prisoners who came over were obviously mainly targeting the person who was absorbing the energy.
Several prisoners raised their guns and fired continuously. These guns were all taken from the prison guards, and they had the prison guard's insignia on them. It seemed that the prison guards were not in a good situation.
Bang bang bang!
When the bullets got close to that person, there seemed to be a huge resistance. When they were half a meter away from that person, their speed directly dropped to zero.
After a few shots, the prisoners who came over also knew that this person was not someone they could deal with. One of them was about to take out a stimulation-type high-energy weapon, but before he could do anything, he directly fell down. Silin could feel that that person was the same as the prisoners in the passageway outside. His heart was broken.
He did not see how he moved his hand. He did not even make any other movements, but the prisoner who was more than 20 meters away was obliterated.
The other prisoners wanted to escape, but as soon as they reached the door, they directly fell down.
Lung swallowed his saliva and looked at Silin. What should he do next?
Let's keep it like this for now, Silin thought.
A few more people came over in between, but they all met the same result. There were already more than 20 prisoners lying at the door, and they all died from the same cause.
Five minutes later, the energy waves gradually calmed down. He was calm and unhurried. The energy blocks in the box were already dim. The person withdrew his hand and turned around to look at Silin and Lung.
There was no killing intent, no malicious intent. He even had a faint smile on his face, giving off a cultured and refined feeling. But this was the person who had killed so many people without making a sound.
When he was watched by that person's somewhat polite and amiable eyes with a faint smile, Silin Helong only felt all the hairs on his body stand up. The more he was like this, the more dangerous he was.
Lung had already directly classified this person as a freak. This type of person who had an absolutely twisted temperament on the outside and inside was a freak among freaks, not to mention that this freak was the type who killed while smiling. Those prisoners probably didn't even feel this person's killing intent when they died, right?
Gadar looked at the two little fellows not too far away. From Gadar's point of view, this was how he saw it. Little fellows around 20 years old.
He had noticed Silin Helong a long time ago. The passageway around the storage room extended outwards, and the bottom, top, and sides of the passageway were all covered in a layer of electric charge. As long as someone entered this area, Gadar would be able to sense it. He could even sense the strength of the intruder through these electric charges.
Towards Silin Helong, Gadar was rather curious. He didn't immediately make his move, and instead observed the two's reactions while absorbing the energy. It was quite obvious that these two's reactions didn't provoke Gadar's killing intent.
"Who are you two little fellows?" Gadar asked. Even his voice was gentle.
Little fellow …
Silin Helong roared. Silin roared. Could it be that this person in front of him was a very old monster?
In reality, Gadar only looked to be close to middle-aged, and the sudden mention of "little fellow" made Silin Helong's face twitch a bit.
Silin suddenly thought of that awkward teacher. Back then, Old Mo had even called him a "little doll". Now that he thought about it, this person in front of him should be around a hundred years old, right?
"Ahem, hello, my name is Lung." Lung bowed respectfully and said. The etiquette of handing Berzett over to him was quite good, and his salute was very standard. He didn't directly announce his surname, as there were still many people who couldn't stand Andriera's family.
"Looking at you as a greeting, you should be from some great family, right?" Gadar said. At the same time, he returned a matching greeting, looking much more gentlemanly than Lung.
Lung's face twitched again, exposing himself with a greeting.
"Uh, yes, my full name is Andriera Lung." He didn't lie. Lung felt that with his ability, lying would definitely be seen through, and this was an old monster in front of him.
"Oh, so you're the descendant of that old fox."
Lung sighed inwardly. My dear grandpa, your name as a fox is really well-known!
However, Lung heaved a sigh of relief. At least the moment the other heard Andriera's name, Lung didn't feel any malice.
"Not bad, you have a better future than your old man." Gadar commented, and then looked at Silin.
"My name is Yuan Silin." He didn't bow like Lung did, but just a normal greeting a junior would greet an elder.
Lung glanced at Silin, and thought: When did your surname become Yuan?
"You're a hunter?" Gadar could tell from Silin's greeting that he was a hunter.
"Yes."
"Lone traveler? Or hunter regiment? "
"Hunter regiment, Vanguard Hunter Regiment."
Gadar nodded, not seeming to have any other thoughts.
However, Gadar's reaction made Silin a little disappointed. He had purposely mentioned the surname "Yuan" just to see how the person in front of him would react to the surname, but the result was a little disappointing.
After looking at Silin Helong, Gadar waved his hand, and two large boxes containing energy blocks a few meters away moved to Silin Helong and said, "You can take these two with you. I'll take the rest."
Seeing that the other party didn't seem to have any intention to pursue the matter, Silin Helong heaved a sigh of relief. Giving them two boxes of energy blocks was already giving him enough face.
After thanking Gadar, Lung stored the two energy blocks into the subspace container in his hand. The energy blocks couldn't be kept in the subspace for long. They had to be taken out once they returned to the starship to prevent the energy from clashing and causing the subspace to collapse.
"When you return, say hello to that old fox Phocos and that old fellow Ji Feng for me," Gadar said.
Phocos, Lung's grandfather, had a lot of influence in the League of Stars. His influence included the business, political, and military circles. As for Ji Feng, he was the head of the Vanguard Hunter Regiment, one of the Six Stars of Hunting, and a Star Hunter!
If Gadar had only mentioned Phocos, Silin Helong wouldn't have been so shocked. After all, Phocos had a wide range of activities, and there were many people who knew or had dealings with Phocos. However, Ji Feng was different. To be able to say Ji Feng's name directly and talk about a Star Hunter in such a tone, then this person …
Gadar!
Silin looked at Gadar and said, "Are you Senior Hunting Knife Gadar?"
Gadar didn't object to being addressed as a senior by a hunter. He waved his hand and let Silin Helong leave. "You guys still have a whole hour. After an hour, Azrael's Star Web will be activated. By then, you guys won't be able to survive with your strength."
"Star Web?" Although they knew that Azrael's men were here, what was the Star Web?
Gadar didn't explain much. "You guys will know when the time comes. This is Azrael's experiment."
After saying that, Gadar turned around and ignored Silin Helong. He continued to open a box and absorb energy.
Cillin shot Lung a look. Let's leave first.
After leaving the energy storage room, Silin Helong didn't dwell on those unsolved mysteries and rushed towards Huimao. According to the plan, he would be able to reach the warehouse there in ten minutes. After collecting the food, he would leave and return to the starship. If everything went according to plan, he still had time.
This time, Silin Helong didn't deliberately hide himself. Instead, he sped up. There weren't many people in the passage leading to the warehouse. If Silin Helong took the time to investigate carefully, he would realize that there weren't many people left in the prison. They had all gone outside.
When they passed by a fork in the road, Cillin saw a person leaning against the fork. Yes, he saw him. He definitely saw him. Even though he knew that the person was invisible, Silin could still see him.
He couldn't see his face clearly. It was just a blurry outline.
When Silin Helong ran over, the person only looked at them. He didn't have any intention of attacking. Even though he knew that Silin could see him, he didn't seem to want to attack. He just watched as Silin Helong ran past him.
After Silin Helong ran far away, the person chuckled. "This generation of youngsters is really interesting."
Compared to Guidie Shiqi, the person felt that the two who just ran past him were more interesting. Both of them could clearly see him, but neither of them took the initiative to attack like Guidie Shiqi. However, they were quite vigilant, still guarding against him even after running so far away.
After leaving the fork, Lung said as he ran. "There was someone at the fork just now."
"I know, but he didn't seem to have any intention of attacking."
"He was the one who injured Guidie Shiqi, wasn't he?"
"Even if it wasn't him, it must be his companion."
"It's Azrael's man. Luckily, he didn't have any intention of attacking just now. Otherwise, the two of us wouldn't have it easy."
Silin Helong was in a hurry. If he really fought with that person, he wouldn't be able to win. Even if he could, it would take up a lot of time. After listening to Gadar's words, the two of them just wanted to hurry to the warehouse to stock up on food and leave.
Although he didn't know what the "Star Web" was, since Gadar said that, Silin Helong believed him.
Along the way, they only encountered a few prisoners, and they were basically people with confused minds. When they saw Silin Helong, they rushed over, but they were quickly dealt with by Silin Helong.
When they arrived at the warehouse, Huimao was holding a fish and gnawing on it. The bones were crunchy, and the fish, which was nearly a hundred times larger than Huimao's current size, was bitten until only its head was left.
At the side, Chifeng was chewing on jerky. Huimao had said that they should eat as much as they could, so Chifeng didn't hold back at all.
Silin Helong selectively collected some of the items in the warehouse. There was still a lot of food on the starship, so now they were mainly looking for fresh goods. The fresh goods in the surrounding warehouses had all been moved by Silin Helong.
Looking at the much emptier warehouse, Silin looked at the time. "There's still forty minutes."
"Let's go. Hurry up," said Lung.
"Let's go, foodie!" Silin turned around and called out to Chifeng and Huimao.
Seeing that Silin, Lung, and Chifeng had all moved out, Huimao picked up the half-eaten fish head and ran out. Even though half of the fish head had been eaten, it was still much larger than Huimao's current body size, especially since half of the fish head had been bitten off. The pharynx and sharp teeth in its mouth were all exposed, and when Huimao ran with it in his mouth, those teeth looked rather hideous as they moved.
What Silin admired the most was this foodie's ability to eat while running. As they ran, the remaining half of the fish head was completely devoured.
Because he still wasn't very familiar with running, after running a few steps with his legs, Chifeng used his limbs again, or else he wouldn't be able to catch up to Silin and the others.
There were many more people outside the prison, and when Silin and the others ran out, they encountered quite a bit of resistance. Some came from the prison guards, and some came from the prisoners. When Chifeng encountered these people who clearly carried malice and killing intent, he immediately transformed from a obedient baby into a wild beast. Just like when he was hunting prey on his original planet, his deep claws and powerful strength directly tore a person to shreds, making Lung's stomach twitch.
Huimao, on the other hand, was much more restrained. He only left a few deep paw prints on the faces of those people. Silin said that they were in a hurry, and that he had just eaten his fill. He just wanted to sleep now.
The good thing was that this kind of resistance wasn't constant. The main point of the exchange of fire was at the port, where carrier aircrafts and other things were parked. The prisoners wanted to snatch one and leave, but the warning party definitely wouldn't allow it. The two sides fought fiercely there.
The place Silin and the others chose was far away from the port. After arriving at a place where there was temporarily no one, Lung took out a panel on his arm and controlled it remotely. At the same time, the starship's robot controlled the starship to fly over, and after locating Silin and the others, they were teleported back to the starship.
After returning to the starship, the starship didn't immediately leave the planet. It still maintained its invisible state and watched from afar.
After putting the energy blocks into the storage room and the food into the warehouse, Silin Helong looked at the image displayed on the screen in the control room.
Looking at the time, there were still two minutes left.
The lucky prisoners snatched aircrafts and flew out of the planet. The satellite protection network on the periphery of the planet had long been paralyzed, so these aircrafts could come and go as they pleased.
Perhaps these lucky prisoners didn't expect what would happen on the planet next, right?
Exactly one hour later, some lightning-like rays of light suddenly appeared on the periphery of the planet, forming a net that enveloped the entire planet.
"Is this the 'Galactic Web'?"
