Feng Haicao sat down next to Yue Lou when he saw the listless and miserable looking Yue Lou covered in brown spots that looked like mudprints. He passed Yue Lou a cigarette and lit one himself.
"You're looking for trouble, aren't you?" Feng Haicao teased.
Yue Lou flicked his cigarette, "It's alright. I killed those spies, confirmed the whereabouts of the captured soldiers, and found some information. I have enough reason to apply for a transfer when I return."
Feng Haicao punched Yue Lou's shoulder with a smile, "You'll be promoted when you return."
Yue Lou said noncommittally, "You're acting on your own again. Aren't you afraid of getting beaten up when you return?"
"Sure, I'm used to it. You should worry about yourself. You won't be able to take a few beatings when you return. But we won't be the ones getting beaten up this time. " Feng Haicao pointed at another fighter flying in their direction and said, "That guy is here too. He's the one who organized this operation."
"Knight? Even the Third Corp is here? " Although there were no obvious insignias on the fighter, the person who could organize such an operation and make Feng Haicao mention it in such a tone was undoubtedly Knight.
"Not only that, the Fourth and Seventh Corp are here too." Feng Haicao appeared very happy at the mention of this.
Yue Lou and Feng Haicao were in the First Corp, the Third Corp led by Knight and the Feigler Family, the Fourth Corp led by the Ji Family, and the Seventh Corp of the Ci Family could be considered allies now. Knight proposed to form a special operation team, but Yue Lou wasn't around when he went looking for him. In the end, they found out that he might have been captured.
Others might not know what 'Miracle' had done to the captives, but Knight definitely knew. He immediately summoned a group of people to kill them. It was impossible for the higher-ups of the Third Corp to not know of Knight's private actions. In other words, they had tacitly approved and were protecting him from behind.
"Oh right, what's with these spots on your body?" Feng Haicao pointed at the brown spots on Yue Lou's face and hands.
The spots were starting to fade, but could still be seen clearly.
"These, they're caused by a virus," Yue Lou said quietly.
"Cough cough!" Feng Haicao choked on his cigarette when he heard Yue Lou say 'virus'. He coughed a few times before he recovered. "Virus? What virus? 'Miracle' was created by those perverts? Are you really going to die soon? "
"It's not Miracle's fault. Didn't you notice that Miracle's people were infected as well?"
Feng Haicao did not say anything. He really did not notice. Many of the people he saw were wrapped from head to toe, as if they were in a biochemical laboratory. Feng Haicao did not pay attention to those who were not wearing protective clothing.
"Don't worry, it's fine. It'll be over in a few hours. It's just a prank. "
"A prank? Who would make such a thing to scare people? "
"This isn't just scaring people. Since that person can create this kind of virus, he can definitely create a real deadly virus." Yue Lou told Feng Haicao about some of the things that happened before.
"So fierce? Which side are they from? " Feng Haicao frowned. If that person really had the ability to create such an extremely lethal virus, wouldn't a large number of people die if it was spread?
Even Miracle's people couldn't do anything about it, so amateurs like them would be even more clueless. War was fine, but against those invisible viruses … Feng Haicao looked at the spots on Yue Lou's body and thought of the scene where Rhapsody on a Rainy Night was playing. He shuddered.
Another fighter plane landed here. Knight, who was wearing an old military uniform without any army insignia, jumped out and looked at Yue Lou. "What's wrong with your face?"
"I got infected." Feng Haicao told Knight about Yue Lou's explanation just now.
Knowing that the virus was not life-threatening, Knight was relieved. He took the cigarette from Feng Haicao and sat down to listen to Yue Lou's recount of what happened earlier.
Yue Lou took a puff and sighed. "I'm a sharpshooter, but I don't have the ability to shoot viruses. No matter how good my marksmanship is, I'll still get infected."
Knight did not know what was on his mind, but he remained silent.
"Yue Lou, this reminds me of something I've heard before." Feng Haicao put out his cigarette. "Do you remember how that 'Skeleton King' died?"
It had been a few years since that incident. Yue Lou thought for a moment and replied, "The secret case's explanation was parasites. I'm just not sure what happened. "
"I've heard of this before. It seems like …"
"That's enough!" Knight interrupted Feng Haicao's words and said, "Someone will specially investigate this matter."
What he meant was, 'Don't think about it anymore.'
When Feng Haicao and Yue Lou heard Knight's words, they understood in their hearts that there must be some connection. Knight knew something but did not want to say it. Who was he trying to protect?
After Feng Haicao took off with Yue Lou in the fighter plane, Knight turned on his communicator. "Have you found Mo Heng?"
"No, the door over there was pried open. It was done very skillfully. It should be Old Mo's doing. However, all the surveillance cameras around there have been tampered with. There's no record of it at all. There's no sign of Old Mo around the base. "
"Continue with the original plan."
"Yes!"
It was only after the communication was cut off that Knight flew away.
The fighters and spaceplanes in the sky began to bombard the base. This time, they were really going all out.
On the other hand, Silin and the others took the opportunity to fly out of the planet and head towards the prearranged route while the group of people were fighting the patrolling fleets around the planet. Shi Huajing's men would be there to receive them.
With Shi Huajing's help, everything went relatively smoothly. Although it took a little longer, and it was a little troublesome to switch spaceplanes or starships midway. In the end, Silin returned to Sector A. He would leave through Sector A later. This way, he could deceive the public.
Shi Huajing was capable. Now that Jiu Xun was no longer complaining about leaving, and had even asked Shi Huajing to move his things over, he was ready to help Shi Huajing. With Jiu Xun's abilities, he could be of great help to Shi Huajing. Therefore, when Silin saw Shi Huajing again, the guy looked like he was in a good mood. People with a master watching over them were different.
"It looks like everything is going well. Old Mo looks good and energetic," Shi Huajing glanced at Mo Heng who was harassing Huimao tirelessly and said to Silin.
On the other side, Mo Heng was fiddling with the long hair on Huimao's ear with a thin blade of grass he pulled out of nowhere. Huimao ignored him, curled into a ball and continued to catch up on his sleep. His ears flicked away the grass, and he didn't even bother to open his eyes.
Silin shot a glance at the other side, but didn't say anything. One had just woken up, and the other had just fallen asleep. That's what they looked like.
"Do you know these three people?" Silin showed Shi Huajing the images of Liquid Silver and the others.
"I have a slight impression of them. Give me a moment, I'll go look into them." Shi Huajing contacted a couple of people and went to investigate.
Five minutes later, Shi Huajing passed a sorted information to Silin.
"I didn't think that 'Wushe' would target that place. Did they take anything? As far as I know, there shouldn't be any special results from that base at this stage. "
"I'm not sure about that." Silin stared at the information in his hand and pondered the purpose of 'Wushe', especially Judy's introduction.
'Azrael's' member Juno's sister?
He had never heard of 'Azrael' and 'Wushe' being close. There were even rumors that the two had clashed before.
"Those people do whatever they want. Judy and Juno may be brother and sister, but that doesn't mean they have a good relationship. Or maybe the relationship between Azrael and Wushe isn't as bad as people say. "Shi Huajing said. After returning to the Shi Family, he had seen a lot of people and things, especially Sector A which was full of politics and power struggles. Naturally, he could understand more. Other than the exchange of interests, everything else was bullsh * t.
Silin memorized the information and deleted the information Shi Huajing had given him.
"Whatever. I'll leave as soon as possible."
"I've already made the necessary arrangements. You can depart tomorrow."
"Mn. Oh right, 'Miracle's' base may not be over so soon. You should make some preparations in advance." Silin said.
"You mean the military's investigation?"
"More than that. At most, the military will push the blame onto a civil war between their corps or 'Wushe'."
"Then you mean …"
"Watch out for the media."
Shi Huajing narrowed his eyes. Right now, the media only cared about self-preservation and didn't want to offend anyone. Who would have the guts to expose 'Miracle'? Doing so would offend several parties at once.
"Alright, I'll remember that." Shi Huajing knew that Silin must have his reasons for saying this. At the same time, he was reminding himself that he could use the upcoming events to make some preparations if necessary.
After staying at the place Shi Huajing arranged for a night, Silin and his men left Sector A with Shi Huajing's help. Other than Shi Huajing and a very few people, no one knew that the captain of Vanguard's Eleventh Squad had slipped into Sector C and caused such a ruckus.
Many of the big shots behind 'Miracle's' base had received the news, but until now, no one had found the culprit. Some said that 'Wushe's' men were the culprit, and that the investigators who worked with Knight found traces of Judy's usual intrusion in the system. However, others said that Judy wouldn't be stupid enough to leave traces behind unless she did it on purpose. Judging from the situation this time, she must have been set up. However, even if she was set up, it couldn't be denied that Judy had hacked into the base's system.
It didn't matter who had attacked or released the virus before Knight and his men arrived at 'Miracle's' base. The ones who had bombed the base in the end were the people of the 1st, 3rd, 4th and 7th Legions. After this, there would definitely be another battle between the eight legions.
On the day Mo Heng left Sector A with Silin, Mo Qing stared at the message on the screen in a certain war zone commander's office in the Seventh Legion of Sector C. He was speechless for a long time.
There was a sentence on the screen in front of Mo Qing, and it was a text message formed after three layers of decoding. It was written in Mo Heng's usual coding style, and Mo Qing was very familiar with it. However, what made Mo Qing speechless was the content of the message.
After Mo Heng was taken away from Seven Lights by the people from 'Miracle', Mo Qing had been handling the situation calmly on the surface, but he was actually anxious inside. He did as his old master wished and ignored 'Miracle's' threats, but not a single day had gone by where he could be at ease. He learned about Knight's operation later on, but the news Knight asked Ci Jincheng to bring back worried him a little. You didn't find him? Commander Mo's hanging heart rose even higher than before. Until he saw the message in front of him:
"I'm safe and sound. Don't worry about me, father."
If it was anyone else who saw this message, they would interpret it as: Son, I'm very safe right now. Don't worry, there's no need to restrain yourself. Just fight!
However, according to Mo Qing's understanding of his old man, it should be: Son, you have a lot of things to do, so don't worry about me. I'll go back when I'm done playing.
Commander Mo felt a headache coming on when he saw the message. His old man really was a worrisome person!
On the other side, Silin and the others had left Sector C under Shi Huajing's arrangements and finally returned to the Eleventh Squad's starship.
Mo Heng's plan was exactly the same as Mo Qing's. He was going to stay with Cillin's Eleventh Squad for the time being. It wasn't safe to go anywhere right now, so he might as well stay with his disciple. At least he could spar with his disciple when he felt depressed.
On the day Silin met up with the Eleventh Squad, a third of the League of Stars's contribution points and above reported the same thing — Miracle Corporation was using captured soldiers for research.
Moreover, there were several videos, all of which were rather tragic images of the experimental process. Along with these videos, there were also explanations of the various drugs used in the experimental process. Some of them would cause toxic side effects, some would directly kill your nerves, and some …
Every single one of the videos was enough to make people shudder in fear. For a time, many people didn't dare to buy Miracle Corporation's drugs carelessly. It was true that increasing one's genetic rank was important, but their lives were even more important. Moreover, the videos had a very strong psychological effect on a lot of people, and they couldn't help but think that they would turn into those experimental soldiers if they used Miracle Corporation's drugs.
The Corps and some political groups that supported Miracle were currently under a lot of pressure. This matter had already affected the emotions of the soldiers, especially the reputation of the 5th Corps. They were being scolded quite a bit.
The corps' soldiers were all from different Sectors, and if they wanted to strengthen their corps, they had to recruit new soldiers from other Sectors. However, the people from other Sectors had a terrible impression of the Fifth Legion right now. What was the point of a corps that didn't even treat its soldiers like human beings? Before the division, the eight corps shared a single name: the League of Stars Army. Therefore, they were once comrades, and now that they were willing to use their former comrades for their inhumane experiments, there was no telling if they would do the same to their own soldiers in the future.
Who would be willing to do that?
Shi Huajing looked at the media reports and felt that it was quite interesting. Although the media claimed that they weren't the ones who reported it, it was the truth. It was pointless even if they cried injustice.
Other than Judy, Silin and the others were involved in the hacking of the media as well. Some of the analysis data was even added by Silin himself, adding fuel to the fire from behind the scenes. The First Legion and the two corps that Knight and Ci Jincheng were in were definitely doing something as well. They were more than happy to attack the Fifth Legion.
Just as Silin was paying attention to this debate, he received a call from Lung.
"You're the one who did this, aren't you?" Lung asked directly the moment the call connected.
"Not entirely." Silin didn't deny it. Lung had a hand in this media incident as well. For example, Unlimited and Lavish, which had more than eighty contribution points, and Stars of Tomorrow and Prospect, which had more than sixty contribution points, were probably Lung's handiwork.
"Hey, Silin, are you busy lately?" Lung asked.
"What is it? Is something the matter?"
"There's something I want to talk to you about. I want to see if you're interested."
"What is it?"
"I'm planning to visit 'Ocean Paradise'."
'Ocean Paradise' wasn't as beautiful as its name sounded. 'Ocean Paradise' was one of the famous danger zones in the League of Stars. It was a gigantic planet, and the planet was completely covered in the sea.
'Ocean Paradise's' sea bred many large wild beasts, and the planet had a strange magnetic field. Many aircrafts couldn't get close to the planet at all, and all electronic devices would malfunction the moment they got close to it.
Even though there were many miraculous and rare minerals in 'Ocean Paradise', not many people went there, and there were even fewer who could return safely. Even the four great Hunter regiments didn't want to go there.
That was why Silin was very surprised when he heard Lung's words, "What are you going there for?"
"I want to find something there. I can't bring too many people, and I can't attract attention."
Silin thinks for a moment. He really wanted to go there himself. When he told Lung about the place he wanted to go, he mentioned 'Ocean Paradise' before. Lung remembered the conversation at the time, and that was why he told him about it. Moreover, the Andriera family was definitely capable of getting their hands on the most suitable equipment to travel to 'Ocean Paradise'. This was a good opportunity for him.
There were a couple of ores Silin had been looking for but couldn't find in 'Ocean Paradise' for a long time, so it was a great opportunity for him to go there. If he missed this opportunity, the Eleventh Squad would never be able to go there with their current funds and equipment.
"Think about it first. I'm still making preparations, so just give me an answer in three days," Lung said. 'Ocean Paradise' was a famous danger zone after all, and Lung didn't want Silin to make a decision so easily. He needed to weigh the pros and cons first.
"Alright, I'll make the arrangements."
After ending the call with Lung, Silin thinks decided that it would be best to bring Czedow and Huimao with him if he wanted to go to 'Ocean Paradise'. Even Shusag wouldn't be able to make much use of his strength in an environment like 'Ocean Paradise'.
When he walked out of the room, Silin ran into a frustrated Mo Heng. Ever since Sir Mo came to the Eleventh Squad, he had been obsessed with playing Chain Stars against Xi Mu. However, he had never won a single one of them. He lost every time on the fifth level. Judging from his expression, it looked like he was stuck at the same place again.
"You're a captain at the end of the day, kid. Why are you acting like you're fine all the time? Come on, let's go assemble the parts. " Mo Heng vented his frustration of losing the game directly on assembling the parts, and Cillin just so happened to run into the muzzle this time.
Silin and Mo Heng sat down at the table and started assembling the parts. When he was done, Silin put the machine in his hands to the side and said, "Master Mo, I'm going to visit 'Ocean Paradise'."
Snap!
Mo Heng snapped the machine in his hands in half.
