In a certain place outside of the base.
Liquid Silver, Judy, and Stora had already met up with Wushe and the others who had infiltrated here. However, right now, these people were all abnormally silent.
On the microcomputer screen in Judy's hand, brown specks dripped down like rainwater, accompanied by the increasingly passionate "Rhapsody on a Rainy Night". It wasn't that Judy wanted to see or listen to this, but rather because she had no choice. As soon as she turned it on, the screen would be filled with this scene.
The microcomputer in her hand had already been invaded by that abnormal signal, a signal she had no way of stopping. This was the first time Judy had encountered this type of signal. Even when she was taught a lesson by her brother Juno in the past, she had never encountered a situation where she didn't even have the leeway to do anything.
When the others saw Judy like this, they also understood that right now, Judy had no way of stopping this strange image and this famous song that had amazed people for hundreds of years, but now made people's blood run cold.
"Just whose side is it?" One of them said in a low voice.
Liquid Silver and Stora were silent. They knew that this matter was definitely related to the two people they encountered before, because not long after those two left, this image and music appeared. At that time, the other party left too suddenly. After all, in terms of strength, the other party wasn't weak. That was to say, the other party left in a hurry because of this matter.
"This definitely isn't the military's style. Those old foxes in the political world wouldn't do something like this either. After all, the implications behind 'Miracle' are too great. They definitely wouldn't bring trouble for themselves in this kind of situation. However, apart from these two big heads, who else could it be? "Another" Wushe "person said.
If it wasn't the military, not the political world, not Azrael, not Fog, and not Wushe, then who else could it be? It definitely couldn't be those boorish hunters, right?
No matter who it was, after today, those who experienced everything, especially those who were infected by the virus, if they could safely escape this disaster, when they heard "Rhapsody on a Rainy Night" in the future, their mood would definitely be completely different from before. Today's situation gave them a psychological hint. Moreover, rainy days would also form a psychological shadow. The sound of the raindrops would remind them of this terrifying experience. Such a shadow would also affect them for a long time.
"Alright, don't worry about that. No matter who it is, our priority now is to leave this place. Otherwise, we don't need to go back. We'll just stay here and feed the virus." One of Wushe's men said as he patted Judy who was staring at the holographic screen.
Liquid Silver turned off Judy's microcomputer. "Let's go. Juno isn't the only top player in the League of Stars. The League of Stars is so big, and there are many capable experts. It's just that some people are more low-key than Juno."
"If Juno was the one who set up the base's defense, perhaps this wouldn't have happened," Stora said.
Back then, Juno had given an obsolete work to someone from "Miracle", and they didn't continue working together after that. When the base was first established, they wanted Juno's help. However, Juno rejected them. "Azrael"'s attitude had always been subtle, and no one could guess what they were thinking.
Judy didn't say anything. She didn't refute or agree with Liquid Silver and Stora's words. Maybe Liquid Silver and the others didn't know much, but Judy knew that this abnormal signal alone was far beyond her ability to analyze. In fact, she couldn't even analyze the signal further. She couldn't copy it, so she could only watch obediently. Even if Juno herself was here, she might not be able to intercept it.
While Judy and the others were puzzling over this abnormal signal, Huimao was crouching on top of a building in the base where Mo Heng was imprisoned. He was looking down at the ground and everything inside the base. He and Czedow had deactivated the defense network of the nine bases. Right now, the chaos caused by "Rhapsody on a Rainy Night" was slowly heating up. A lot of infected people had already rushed out of the bases in an attempt to escape.
While the "Rhapsody on a Rainy Night" feast was going on, Silin had also arrived at the base where Mo Heng was imprisoned. With the help of Czedow and the others, Silin was able to avoid the guards with ease.
Silin casually put on a set of work clothes, and he even made some brown spots on his body. Although most people in the base were wearing protective masks, and it was impossible to tell the difference from their faces, Silin still did it anyway. It made it harder to arouse suspicion. Therefore, it would be very difficult to notice Silin's difference in this chaotic environment without careful investigation.
The guards of the base were very busy right now. Although there weren't any incomplete modifications in the base, there were robots and machines that hadn't been perfected yet. Moreover, these robots and machines took up a lot of space, so it would take the guards quite some time to deal with them.
Following the route given in Mo Heng's encrypted message, Silin headed over.
The place where Mo Heng was imprisoned belonged to the key research department of the base. There were a lot fewer workers in this area, and it was a lot quieter. Most of the people who needed to run away had already left, and those who needed to isolate themselves had their doors tightly shut. Moreover, the modified protective shield had strengthened both the inside and the outside, so it was very difficult for outsiders to enter without some professional tools.
The surveillance in this area had also been hacked, so Silin wasn't worried that the managers of the base would notice anything amiss.
The elevator had already stopped working, so Silin had no choice but to climb up. However, when he climbed up to the third floor, a person ran down from the second floor. Perhaps he did not notice that there was a person climbing up here, he was unable to dodge in time. His foot missed, and he crashed straight into Cillin. If it wasn't for Silin blocking his way, he probably would've rolled down the stairs already.
The man didn't even raise his head. He was wearing a protective mask, so he couldn't see what was behind the mask. After he finally steadied himself, the man panted a couple of times and was about to continue walking down when his body suddenly felt light. Silin had lifted him up with one hand and carried him down the stairs.
The man didn't even scream. He just waved his hand and took out a pair of tweezers from god knows where to poke Silin, but Silin stopped him with his other hand.
"Master Mo, aren't you tired?" Silin asked as he ran down the stairs.
Hearing this, Mo Heng, who was about to change his tweezers, stopped and looked at Silin in confusion. It was different from what he remembered. Although he couldn't see the face, he could still see the difference in the shape of the body. It was very unfamiliar, but at this moment, the only thing that came to Mo Heng's mind was that little bastard Silin.
Was it Silin? Was it? Who else but Silin would directly call him "master" instead of "Mentor Mo"?
Mo Heng didn't ask, nor did he pull down Silin's protective mask. It would be bad if he was recognized by people running around every now and then. Moreover, Mo Heng couldn't sense any malice from the man in front of him. Instead, he felt a sense of familiarity that he hadn't felt for a long time.
Never mind, I'll think about it after I get out of here. In any case, it definitely isn't someone that bastard An Bixin sent.
It's probably Silin, I guess. Mo Heng thought to himself. Just like that, he quietly and obediently ran out of the base while being carried on his shoulder.
But if it really was Silin, Mo Heng was both happy and worried. Right now, the base and even the entire planet were in bad shape, and it would be terrible if they were infected. Right now, Sir Mo was extremely conflicted. He was looking forward to his disciple's return, but he didn't want to run into him in this virus-ravaged environment.
While Silin was sneaking out of the base with Mo Heng, he received a call from Czedow.
"What's wrong?" Silin didn't stop moving. At the same time, he was paying attention to his surroundings. Right now, most of the base's attention should be focused on a few places. The passage he was walking through right now was deserted, and the surveillance devices were down. Still, it was never wrong to be careful.
"We've finished injecting the incomplete modifiers with the antidote, and the researchers are trying their best to escape from the base. However, there are too many guards, so I'm afraid they won't be able to hold out for too long. Should we proceed with the next step in advance?" Czedow asked.
"Then let's move ahead. I've already found the person. We'll evacuate once we get out of here."
"Alright, I'll let Wheeze and the others know. Oh right, there's one more thing I need to tell you. A group of people is approaching this planet right now. I don't know which side they're from. "
Silin thinks for a moment before asking, "Can't we get their identities verified?"
"Nope. They don't seem to want to reveal their identities."
"In other words, they aren't Miracle's own people."
"That's true. Should we intercept them with the satellite array outside? "
"No need. They're probably from the First Legion." Thinking back to Yue Lou, Silin guessed that they were probably reinforcements from the First Legion. This was just as well. It would save them the trouble of having to act as a cover, and they could just leave the rest of the trouble to the 1st Legion.
"How much longer until they arrive?" Silin asked again.
"Half an hour."
"I'm almost out. Pick a spaceplane and get ready to leave."
"Got it."
After ending the call, Silin checked his surroundings and quickened his pace.
Mo Heng, who was being carried on Silin's shoulder, frowned. Although the voice didn't sound like it, the tone … it was definitely Silin's! Sigh, why did this little bastard have to come at a time like this? Mo Heng couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt.
In the nine bases, in front of the warehouse where spaceplanes and fighter jets were parked, many researchers who had lost control of their emotions were in conflict with the guards. The researchers wanted to leave the planet, but the people in charge of the bases wouldn't allow it. They kept the warehouse door tightly shut. As long as they couldn't get their spaceplanes out, they could only wander around the planet. There was still a chance to salvage the situation. However, once these researchers left, there was no telling when they would be able to return here to continue their research. Even if these researchers didn't know some of the core secrets, there were still some things that couldn't be known to the outside world. The people in charge would never allow these researchers to escape the planet.
Every researcher had been implanted with a tracking chip, but there was no guarantee that the chip would not be destroyed. After all, there was no lack of experts among these researchers. The people in charge couldn't take the risk.
Among the nine people in charge of the bases, seven of them had already developed pathological changes. They wanted to leave but didn't dare to. If they stayed, they might be able to wait for Miracle to send reinforcements, but if they left, they would definitely die.
However, what made the people in charge go crazy was that the warehouse door opened on its own. Not only that, one of the spaceplanes rushed out and directly scattered the guards at the warehouse door.
As soon as they saw this, the researchers seemed to be encouraged and rushed toward the warehouse with all their might. Some of the more agile ones had already opened the hatch of the spaceplane.
In a place where no one was paying attention, a gray shadow flashed and quickly disappeared.
Following that, similar situations happened in the other basic bases. Fighter jets and spaceplanes took off from the various bases.
"Stop them! At all costs! "The person in charge shouted at the communicator that was connected to the patrol team and the people in the spaceport.
What the person in charge meant was that they couldn't let these researchers escape the planet even if they had to blow all of them to smithereens in the end.
However, the person in charge didn't get a response from the patrol team and the spaceport for a long time.
The communicator could not be connected.
At this moment, in the sky, be it the people from the patrol fleet or the people from the space port, they were also in a lot of trouble. Their instruments were being interfered with to varying degrees, and they were unable to control the satellite array to activate its attack mode. Most importantly, they knew that someone was approaching the planet, and it wasn't Miracle's people.
When Cillin and Mo Heng walked out of the base, Shusag happened to be flying a spaceplane toward them. He opened the hatch at the bottom of the spaceplane, and Cillin ran a couple of steps and jumped onto it.
Czedow and Huimao were already safely inside the spaceplane. Huimao was crouching on top of a box at the cabin door, staring at Mo Heng while wagging his tail leisurely.
After entering the spaceplane, Cillin removed the protective cover on his face and took off his work uniform.
After removing his protective mask, Mo Heng stared at Silin for a moment before shooting a glance at the familiar cat next to him. Then, he reached out and pinched Silin's face hard twice. "You've changed again, you little bastard! How did you know it was me? "
I didn't make a sound when we bumped into each other. How did this kid recognize me the moment we bumped into each other?
The corner of Silin's mouth twitched. His face was pinched so hard that it looked a little deformed.
"It feels like you. You don't need to make a sound. I can recognize you as soon as you move."
Mo Heng nodded in satisfaction. But at the same time, he was very worried about the brown spots on Cillin's face. He wanted to bring Cillin to a few of his old friends who were in the field of virus research and medicine and see if they could do their best to treat it. He only had one precious disciple that he was satisfied with, and if something really happened to him because he tried to save him, Mo Heng would blame himself forever.
Noticing Mo Heng's worry, Silin said, "Don't worry, it's not fatal."
Mo Heng's sad thoughts came to an abrupt halt. Then, he looked at Silin for two seconds strangely and asked, "You're the one who created the virus?"
Silin nodded.
"Who did it?"
"Me."
"…"
Mo Heng sat there and massaged his legs to catch his breath. He glanced at Silin, then massaged his legs to catch his breath, and then glanced at Silin again. After repeating this a few times, Mo Heng reached out with both hands to grab Silin's face.
"Tell me, why are you so popular?"
Silin: "…"
Looking at the old man, he was more than happy.
"Weren't you locked up? How did you get out? "Silin asked.
Mo Heng let go of Silin's face and sat down again. He said slowly and proudly, "Give me a box of tools and I can dismantle this base. Do you believe me?"
"Yes, of course I do."
Silin had heard a lot of gossip about Mo Heng. When he was young, Mo Heng had done things like breaking into cars, doors, and aircraft. Especially after being bullied, he would not say anything in front of others, but would secretly kill them behind their backs. He would often tamper with other people's aircraft or household machinery. Otherwise, those who knew Mo Heng well wouldn't have called him a senior academic ruffian.
The people at the base shouldn't have left Mo Heng his toolbox if they wanted to lock him up.
Silin told Mo Heng to rest for a while and wake him up if something came up.
After learning the true situation of this seemingly powerful virus, Mo Heng was no longer worried about the situation at the base. The old man had not slept well during this period of time. Mo Heng was really tired, so he quickly fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.
"How is it?" Silin asked Czedow after he arrived at the cockpit.
"They're here." Czedow pointed at the image on the screen. It was showing the battle that had already begun in space, and the patrol ships that had been blasted into holes by the enemy's cannons looked especially miserable.
How could they not be miserable? Many of the patrol ships' instruments were still being jammed, and the interference set up by Czedow and Huimao would last for a long time.
"We weren't the ones who opened the warehouse doors at four bases, so the operation was cut down a lot," Czedow said. At the same time, he showed Silin the images of the battle with Liquid Silver, Judy, and Stora. "I'm guessing they're involved too."
Yue Lou might've interfered as well. Still, he could analyze these things after he left the base. Silin told Shusag to fly the spaceplane away at full speed. The people from the army were used to direct methods, so there was no way they would miss out on an attack. This was the perfect opportunity for Silin and the others to escape during the chaos.
On the other side, Yue Lou had entered a few other bases after he left the base he was in. Not long after he took off, a line of text appeared on his communicator screen, informing him of the true situation of the Yue Lou virus.
Yue Lou couldn't tell what he was feeling when he saw the message. They had originally planned to destroy this base and perish together with these people who had experimented on the soldiers of their army. Everyone would be infected anyway. However, the message revived Yue Lou's desire to die together with his enemies. The worst part was that there was a very, very cheap smiley face at the end of the message. Yue Lou wanted nothing more than to smash the screen with his fist.
That was why Yue Lou went to a few other bases to collect more evidence. That way, he would have a reason to declare war against the Fifth Legion, and the reputation of the Fifth Legion would be greatly damaged.
Although Yue Lou's illness wasn't enough to render him immobile, he was seriously tired after all this action. He flew the spaceplane to a place a certain distance away from the base, parked it, and leaned against the fuselage to rest.
The morning light finally appeared. Yue Lou covered his face and smiled as he looked at the sky growing brighter and brighter. Then, he looked at the fading spots on his body and covered his face with a hand.
A spaceplane that didn't belong to Miracle flew toward him from the sky. After it landed, a person jumped out and shouted at Yue Lou, "Are you dead?!"
Yue Lou looked up at the person and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "I just came back to life."
