Luminous Flower's people were already waiting at the designated location. According to Hua Xiao, the transport ship would pass through this area after it changed its course, and it wouldn't stop there. They had to get the people and cargo out of the ship at the designated location. Once they were out, Luminous Flower would destroy the entire transport ship.
Therefore, they didn't have much time left. Communication with the transport ship had been going on and off, and it was getting harder and harder to get in touch with the people on the other side. By the time Hua Xiao received the news, only a third of the people on the transport ship were still alive. There were probably less than a hundred survivors in this period of time. Who knew how many would be left by the time they finally boarded the transport ship?
Silin glanced at Hua Xiao. She was anxious, but she was still able to suppress her emotions. Their target should be fine.
"That's the latest news. I don't know anything else. That's all I know about the bioweapon." Hua Xi relayed the latest information she learned from the people on the transport ship to Cillin. Even then, they still didn't know much.
Due to the urgency of the situation, Luminous Flower didn't have a lot of antidotes on hand. Hua Xiao had to buy some from Silin. Just like the antidotes Kali and the others used, she injected the first antidote and carried the second antidote with her.
"They're here!" Moon said.
A dot of light appeared on the screen. It was none other than the transport ship Hua Xi had mentioned.
Hua Xiao had already sent Silin the general layout of the transport ship. After some discussion, they confirmed the entry point. Luminous Flower's people and Silin's group boarded the ship together.
As the transport ship drew closer and closer, they could see the strange signal lights on it. The area around the command center was pitch black, and there were also signs of a bombing. Most likely, it was the result of a battle against the bioweapons.
"What's the situation inside the transport ship?" Silin asked.
Moon sent the scan results to them. "Everything looks normal. You won't need a respirator. You can remove your respirator once you're inside. "
The respirator could be removed, but the protective suits were mandatory. One reason was to prevent infection from the bioweapons' blood, and the other was to prevent unforeseen circumstances.
"Alright, let's follow the original plan."
Silin made a hand gesture, and the spaceships that had left the original starship gradually approached the transport ship. Some spaceships from Luminous Flower's starship also flew over.
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales There was no need for Silin and the others to open the transport ship's hatch.
After the first group of Luminous Flower's members arrived, Silin and the others boarded as well.
There were no parasites around this login point for the time being. From this entrance, there was a main path, but it didn't take long before they found three forks.
"Where is he?" Silin looked at Hua Xi.
Hua Xi fiddled with her communicator for a long time before the call connected. The signal was jammed, and there was no clear image. They could only hear some noises.
"Yewu, we've reached entry point three. Where are you?" Hua Xi asked anxiously.
"We've been cornered between entry points three and four. We're in a bit of a pickle right now!" Hua Xi's tone relaxed a lot when she heard that Hua Xi and the others had already boarded at entry point three. "We're currently stuck between entry points three and four, but there are too many parasites. We've closed the double gates on both sides to keep the parasites out, and we can't get out ourselves. If you don't come to our rescue soon, we'll all be dead once the parasites break the gates. "
"Alright, wait here. We'll be there right away!" Hua Xi looked at the map on the transport ship and found the branching path that led to entry point four. She urged, "Hurry up!"
It only took them a few steps before they ran into two parasites. They used to be members of the transport ship, but their bodies had undergone obvious changes after being infected by the parasites. Their skin was dark gray, their faces were hideous, and their fingers had completely changed. They looked like the claws of a bird, and there were three rows of half-meter-long spikes growing out of their backs. Every spike was so straight that it sent shivers down anyone's spine. Seeing the people coming over, they let out sharp roars that didn't sound like a human's. Moreover, as they shouted, they charged towards the group of people.
These parasites were no longer the same people they used to be. They were now parasites, and their blood had deteriorated a long time ago. Their thoughts had become that of a parasite's.
Hua Xi ordered her men to kill the two parasites without hesitation. Luminous Flower's men didn't stop after killing the two parasites. Instead, they hurried toward the third and fourth entrances.
Sigma and Moon were responsible for collecting the samples and processing the information. Then, they would send the samples to the starship so that Tico and Xi Mu could synthesize the special medicine as soon as possible.
Hua Xi couldn't care less about Silin's group right now. They were a Hunter platoon, and they wouldn't listen to her orders. She was in a hurry, and she couldn't afford to let anything happen to that person!
As a result, the Hunter platoon fell behind the rest of the group.
"What's wrong, Silin?" Dias asked.
Cillin looked at a passageway that led past the fork. There was a warehouse there. There was a yellow-and-black symbol on the warehouse's door. It was the "high-risk radiation" symbol.
Hearing Dias's question, Silin shook his head. "Something's not right." Then, he looked at Czedow and pointed at the warehouse. "Check how many of these warehouses there are, and where they are located."
"You suspect that those things are related to this?" Eudy asked while walking.
"It's just a suspicion. I need to confirm it. Also, we haven't encountered many parasites at the third entrance so far. Something's not right. "There was one more thing that Silin didn't tell Czedow — he had seen those parasites before!
He hadn't seen them with his own eyes, but he had read some information about them. They weren't a naturally occurring species. They were born in a laboratory. As for the people behind them...
Had the competition become this intense?
"What's wrong, Silin?" Huimao patted Silin's face with its paw. "Did you suddenly realize something important?"
Silin didn't answer directly. Instead, he asked Huimao seriously, "Can you fly in space, Wheeze?"
"Of course I can! I have wings now! "Huimao raised his chin proudly.
"That's different. What's the use of flapping your wings without an atmosphere?"
"No, I can fly without flapping my wings. I just need to change my form," Huimao said proudly.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes! I swear on my fish biscuits! "
What a vicious oath...
After receiving Huimao's reply, Silin said to Dias and the others, "The situation has changed. We need to move faster and finish this in an hour. If we can't, we need to find a way to get out of here!"
While he was talking, Luminous Flower's people had already begun firing. By the time Silin's group arrived, the ground was already littered with the parasites' corpses. Hua Xi was contacting the people on the other side of the gate to open it.
Hua Xi let out a sigh of relief when she saw that everyone was safe. There were only a dozen or so people left on the transport ship, but Yewu and her target were fine. That was something to be thankful for.
Yewu helped an old man out of the gate. Half of the dozen or so people around them were wounded, and some of them were seriously injured.
"It's great to see you again!" Yewu said to Hua Xi with a smile.
Yewu was the twin-blade Liu Yewu who Silin met during the Sector Championship. She was a member of Golden Willow Corporation. Yewu's face was filled with both exhaustion and joy. There were many times when she felt like she couldn't hold on any longer, but she had to wait for help because of the old man beside her.
After Hua Xi said a few words to Yewu, she walked up to the old man and said respectfully, "I'm sorry for the fright."
The old man smiled and waved his hand. "It's fine. I should be the one thanking you."
"Now is not the time to catch up. Leave now!" Silin cut them off.
Yewu shot Silin a disgruntled look before turning to Hua Xi. "These aren't Luminous Flower's people, are they? Are they the Hunters that you said you found to assist us? I didn't see any of them when I was killing the parasites. They had only just arrived when I came out. Is this how hunters work?! "
Hua Xi was about to explain when one of Luminous Flower's people pointed at the surveillance footage in his hand and said anxiously, "Miss, there are at least two hundred parasites heading this way! There are still a lot of them who haven't found their hosts yet! "
When they came over from Gate 3, they had placed surveillance cameras along the way. Because the surveillance on the transport ship had gone out of control, they could not capture any images. Therefore, they had no choice but to rely on temporary surveillance cameras.
"Leave now. We can't stay here any longer." Hua Xi looked at the surveillance footage and the transport ship's layout in her hand.
The gate leading to Entry Four wasn't open yet, and there were still a lot of parasites on the other side. They didn't want to face the "main force" coming from Entry Three either.
"Retreat to Entry Five!" Hua Xi said. Entry Five had the least number of parasites and parasites, and it was also the closest to the transport ship.
"We can't go that way! We're going straight to Entry Four! "Silin rejected Hua Xi's suggestion." Entry Five is a dead end! If we're trapped there, we'll be surrounded by the parasites. "
"What gives you the right to say that?" Yewu asked. She knew that Entry Four was full of parasites. It would be very dangerous to force their way there.
"Do as he says," the old man said.
"But …" Hua Xi hesitated. They couldn't afford to take the risk.
"You're hesitating yourself, aren't you? If that's the case, then let's do as this young man says. They're experienced hunters, after all. "
The parasites and parasites were getting closer and closer to them. They were running out of time!
Silin gestured to Kari and the others, and they quickly formed a formation in front of the gate.
"Open the gate, Yue!"
