After all, Yue Lou was also a gun user. Given his sensitivity toward guns, there was no way he would have been shot so easily. Moreover, Silin looked at the gunshot wounds on Yue Lou's body. Although he had been shot many times, none of them had hit a vital point.
Silin thought of one possibility — Yue Lou had done it on purpose!
But why would Yue Lou want to get himself into such a miserable state? What was the point of taking such a risk?
Someone who could shoot Yue Lou's back at such close range had to be someone he knew, possibly a comrade of Yue Lou's. Silin didn't believe that Yue Lou's comrade would cooperate with Yue Lou's scheme. The gunshot wounds didn't look like they were held back at all.
In other words, there might really be a spy on Yue Lou's side.
From the looks of it, the First Army's loss this time might have been due to an internal rebellion.
Silin didn't go talk to Yue Lou directly. Instead, he quietly observed the movements of Yue Lou and the others in the warehouse. Yue Lou was sleeping well. Although his breathing was a little weak, it was still steady. He was still alive.
Some people in the warehouse were whispering. Not everyone had Silin's vision. For most of them, all they saw was darkness. They could only make out the general situation of the warehouse from the dim light of the indicator buttons in the corner.
After the prisoners on the transport ship were dealt with, it quickly set off. For the prisoners locked up in the warehouse, they had to endure the discomfort of the transport ship's flight in addition to their injuries.
Silin and Yue Lou stayed there quietly. There were cameras in the warehouse that showed the conditions of the prisoners one by one. When a certain number of prisoners were found dead, the people in charge of the guards would drag them out and throw them into space.
The army was cruel and merciless. When the guards dragged a few dead people out of the warehouse, there was a small commotion in the warehouse. Some of the prisoners who were in an extreme state of mind wanted to go out, but in the end, they were shot at. Silin noticed that Yue Lou didn't react at all. His breathing was steady, as if he was indifferent to all this. Or maybe he was just used to it.
Other than dragging the dead out of the warehouse twice, the guards didn't come in to cause any trouble for the captives. Shusag's disguise as Swode must have played a part in that.
Everything went smoothly, and Silin also took advantage of this time to rest. The following operations would not be easy.
The transport ship's voyage in Sector C was pretty smooth. They did not encounter any interference from the other corps, and the First Legion did not chase after them to request a prisoner exchange either. There was something fishy about this. Logically speaking, if a talent like Yue Lou had fallen into the enemy's hands, the people of the First Legion would definitely propose a prisoner exchange, but this was not the case.
Currently, there was indeed a storm brewing between the various legions. Silin did not wish to get involved, so he did not speak to Yue Lou.
When the transport ship finally arrived at the planet, Silin opened his eyes. A third of the people in the warehouse were gone, and the condition of the captives' physique was obvious to see. Those who had recovered well could already walk around freely. Although they still couldn't do strenuous exercise, and they looked a little haggard after being imprisoned here, they were much stronger than before.
Yue Lou had also recovered very well. Although the penetrating wound from the bullet didn't look like it had healed much, and he still looked listless and lifeless, Cillin had a feeling that the guy was hiding his true strength. He might be a sickly invalid one moment, but he could turn into a ferocious tiger the next.
The transport ship did not enter the planet directly. Instead, it stopped at the spaceport outside. There were specialized personnel there to sort and process the captives.
Silin looked up at the warehouse door, and it didn't take long for it to open. A group of fully-armed people stood outside the door, but they didn't look like soldiers. The soldiers of the Fifth Legion who were responsible for the detention were dressed in their army uniforms and standing at the back. These people, who were fully armed from head to toe, stood together with a few people in lab uniforms. This should be Miracle's own armed forces.
Moreover, these fully-armed people were taller and stronger than the average person. They were also very agile and didn't seem clumsy at all. Their movements with guns were very skilled and straightforward. Even if one couldn't see the eyes behind their helmets, one could tell that they weren't people with sympathy. The inexplicable, hair-raising aura emanating from these people made the already restless, despairing, and depressed atmosphere even more intense than before.
A captive who seemed to be in a daze staggered a few steps toward the warehouse door, like a fly following its instincts and flying toward the light. However, with a sudden sound, this person's entire chest exploded, and blood and flesh splattered everywhere. Someone in the fully-armed group had opened fire.
Just like Silin's first impression of these people, these people were cold, numb, and didn't hesitate to attack.
With that person as an example, the people in the warehouse who were about to make a move also quieted down and didn't dare to act recklessly.
The few people in lab uniforms glanced at the warehouse without much expression. One of them said, "The quality of the test product is about the same as the previous batches, and the quantity is also about the same."
The others nodded in agreement. As they spoke, they also started to move, instructing the people to bring the captives out of the warehouse.
A group of people who were completely unarmed walked into the warehouse and kicked the people who were either sitting or lying on the ground. When Silin saw these people coming over, he tactfully stood up and gathered in the middle. Although Yue Lou looked listless, his movements weren't slow either. A few people who didn't have time to stand up were kicked into the middle of the warehouse. The sound of bones breaking was very clear. If it wasn't because everyone had gathered in the middle and there were many of them, blocking the few people who were kicked over, they would probably have hit the wall. The wall behind them had a protruding corner, and that would definitely break a few more bones.
When they were escorted out, the heavily armed men pointed their guns at the captives. This was just to make the captives leave quickly. At the same time, it also served as a warning. No one dared to make any big moves in such a situation.
After passing through the docking passage and exiting the transport ship, Silin and the captives arrived at a field with a dozen or so circular cubicles. The captives were divided into more than ten groups and passed through these cubicles.
When they passed through the cubicles, their physical conditions were reflected one by one, and the people in lab uniforms categorized them according to their test results. Huimao had lurked around the area and altered Silin's test results so that Silin was classified as a "low test subject".
Yue Lou was classified as a "medium test subject", and this was the result of the surveillance after he had concealed his abilities. If it was judged according to the actual situation, Yue Lou would definitely be classified as a "high level test subject".
After the prisoners were categorized, they would be sent to the research base separately. That was why Silin and Yue Lou boarded different spaceships.
At the same time, Shusag and Czedow, who were disguised as Swoosh and his aide, were about to continue their final escort mission. This time, they wouldn't be traveling with any of the spaceships carrying the captives. They would be taking another spaceship with them. This was the rule.
Four spaceships departed from the spaceport and landed at the planet's port. After all the captives had been escorted away, Swoosh arrived at the spaceport to complete the official handover. The escort mission was finally complete.
"Happy working with you, Lieutenant Colonel Swoosh!" The handover personnel smiled at "Swoosh", but he wasn't annoyed by the man's usual cold response. Instead, he packed up the documents in his hands and left on his own. The soldiers responsible for escorting the captives would leave later, so they couldn't be bothered with them.
After the handover personnel left, Shusag exchanged a glance with Czedow and walked back to the spaceships.
Silin and the "low test subjects" were thrown into a transport vehicle and sent to a different base. However, it wasn't the one Mo Heng was imprisoned in.
It didn't matter. Getting here was already half the battle. Besides, the two bases weren't far from each other.
Since the captives were newly arrived "test subjects", the researchers didn't act immediately. Instead, they "nurtured" them for a few days. Only when their bodily functions had recovered to a certain level would they officially begin the experiment.
When Silin was passing by an empty space, he noticed some fresh bloodstains. They were dark red in color and darker than the average person's. Celine pretended to fall and touch a bit of the blood. He analyzed the blood for a bit.
It was human blood, but the genetic information contained in the bloodstains indicated that the owner of the bloodstains possessed a level of genetic helification that no ordinary person could possess. Moreover, there were signs of forced modification.
It was obvious that these people had been modified and injected with genetic drugs. The so-called experiment was to develop genetic drugs.
The new batch of captives were locked inside transparent "cages". Silin had seen such "cages" before, but they were a little smaller. Each captive only had about one square meter of space. However, there were a lot of instruments inside the small space. They could monitor the "test subjects" inside the "cages" and record their vital signs. There was a number on the outside of each "cage", which was the code of the "test subject" locked in the cage.
After all the "test subjects" were locked up, the walls around the "cages" were no longer transparent. The people inside couldn't see what was happening outside, but the researchers outside could clearly see what was going on inside the "cages".
Silin, who was locked in the "cage", looked like a man who was exhausted. He leaned against the wall and looked like he was asleep. The researchers patrolling outside only glanced at him briefly before leaving. Most of the new "test subjects" were like this, so the researchers wouldn't pay too much attention to them.
In a place where no one was paying attention, Huimao, who had eaten and slept his fill, was already making his move.
Making a move here or at Mo Heng's base would attract the attention of all parties, but if he made a move at the other bases, there would definitely be a lot less people paying attention to this one. Moreover, the larger the area of influence, the better the effect.
Huimao thought happily, 'This is just like fishing. Casting a wide net will definitely be effective.'
And so, with its glorious mission, Huimao set off.
