Over at the asteroids, Silin was blocking one attack after another.
His opponent's movements were quick, but he didn't feel the slightest bit of discomfort or awkwardness in this kind of environment. It was almost as if his movements had become one with the armor he was wearing.
Every time his armor accelerated, it was just right, not too early, not too late, and not in the slightest. His opponent was already fast to begin with, and with this acceleration, his attacks became even more powerful. Moreover, if he were to use an assassination technique, his chances of success wouldn't be any lower than if he were in a normal environment.
This was Wushe's killer move. No matter what the environment was like, he would always be able to maintain his peak performance and not be limited by the environment.
Silin's armor didn't have this acceleration function, but it did allow Silin to remain unaffected by the environment. Every step he took, every jump he made, every step he took, he would move as if he were in a place with normal gravity.
Blade light flashed, and the dagger-like knife that was blocked by Cillin's longsword curved strangely in the next moment. Then, it bypassed the longsword like a venomous snake and shot straight between Cillin's brows.
Celine leaned to the side and lowered her body. Her longsword pierced through her back and blocked the snake-like blade gleam.
The light from the crisscrossing blades flashed again.
Inside the Eleventh Squad's starship, everyone was staring intently at the screen. The more they watched, the stranger they felt. After looking at the screen for a while, Eudy breathed a sigh of relief. Silin shouldn't be in any danger anymore.
While Cillin was worried, the gray cat wasn't making any progress on its side either. Its running skills were too good, and the whip-wielding man was starting to feel a little helpless as he chased after it. The cat was fast, and it would run for a while before turning around to see if the man had caught up to it. If they hadn't, it would scratch them once before continuing to run again.
"I think that guy must be feeling pretty depressed right now," Kari commented as he watched the whip-wielding man chase after Huimao.
Xiao Shang and Mogas nodded in agreement. The tension in the air had lessened significantly.
"It's too rare, it's really too rare!" Phoebe exclaimed excitedly.
"What's too rare?" Kari and the others looked at Phoebe in confusion.
"It's the one with the whip! My idol! In fact, my use of the whip was also influenced by Taipana. I was fortunate enough to see it once when I was with the main team. "Phoebe explained.
"You've seen that guy?"
"No, to be precise, the whip flashed by, and the target's head was pierced through, and he fell straight down," Phoebe said.
Phoebe was quite excited at the thought of that experience. Because of that shock, Phoebe later chose to use a whip as a weapon. However, she didn't choose the exact same whip as Tai Panahan's because she wasn't used to it and it wasn't suitable for her. In the end, she still chose this knuckle whip. After a few years, seeing Tai Panahan again, Phoebe still couldn't suppress her excitement. She actually saw her idol again. It was still so clear. Although she still couldn't see the face, Phoebe was already satisfied.
"Tai Panahan … Tai Panahan …" Eudy thought for a moment. There was not much information about "Wushe". He also knew that there was such a person in "Wushe", but not every name could be matched. "Wushe" always appeared and disappeared mysteriously. Most of the people in this organization had never seen their true faces.
In the name of "Tai Panahan", "Nahan" was his real name. Tai Panahan was just his code name.
Tai Panahan was a type of snake. This type of snake was quite venomous, and its continuous attack speed was extremely fast. Once the code name was connected to the person, one would know what kind of person it was as soon as they heard the code name.
However, even this venomous and fast snake was a headache when it encountered Huimao.
When Silin blocked the attack and retreated out of the opponent's attack range, he looked in Huimao's direction and saw the cat bite the whip. The sharp spikes on the whip retracted after Huimao bit the whip and were replaced by a flash of electricity. The electricity flowed along the whip and quickly spread to Huimao's body.
"Oh my god, meow!"
Huimao let go of the whip and retreated, his face a little twisted.
The corner of Silin's mouth twitched when he saw Huimao's expression. He swung his saber and parried the attack from the person behind him, then rushed toward Huimao's side.
The person fighting Silin paused for a moment, then chased after Huimao in the end.
Whether it was the people on the Eleventh Squadron's starship or those on Wushe's side, everyone was puzzled by the actions of the man and cat. Could it be that the cat had been struck dumb by the electricity on the whip? Was that why Silin rushed over because he was worried about Huimao?
That was what most people thought. However, the truth was always out of everyone's expectations.
Silin's speed grew faster and faster. Just as Huimao's whiskers began to tremble, Silin jumped into the air and jumped behind Huimao. Just as Silin jumped, Huimao opened his mouth.
Puff —
Like a torrential rain, a pile of metal fragments sprayed out of Huimao's mouth and shot toward the two people on the other side.
The duo was a little flustered by the sudden turn of events, and they didn't even have time to jump out of the way. They swung their weapons to block the metal shards, but the amount of metal shards Wheeze had spat out was simply too much. Moreover, it was urgent, fast, and sudden. It really did put them in a difficult position for a moment.
The metal fragments were not in their original state. Many of them were half-melted and had some unknown substance stuck to them. It was definitely not human gastric juice. It was a disgusting sight.
Seeing this scene, Wushe spat out the ice cream in his mouth. "What the hell did this cat eat?!"
While speaking, Wushe poked the little guy on the table who was holding a spoon with its front paws and staring at the screen in a daze. "Won't you get indigestion from eating that stuff?"
The little guy's whiskers trembled, but he didn't say anything.
On the other side, after Huimao spat out the ice cream, he sneezed twice. Another wave of metal fragments sprayed out, but it was a lot better than before.
Smacking his lips, Huimao stroked the fur around his mouth, then tilted his head and scratched the base of his ears with his hind legs.
The two people who had just blocked the "hidden weapons" suddenly stopped and turned to look behind Huimao. There, Silin was pointing the Purgatory Thunder Snake K at them.
The two looked at each other, then put away the tools in their hands and retreated. If they were on a real battlefield, Silin would definitely have opened fire while the other party was dodging the "hidden weapons." With Silin's marksmanship, even if they didn't both get shot, at least one of them would get shot. If the person who fired was someone else, they might not have stopped so quickly. However, this person was Silin. According to the information they received, Silin was a very mysterious person. Moreover, the gun in his hand gave them a very dangerous feeling.
Assassins had always trusted their instincts. Therefore, they didn't need much time to think before they decisively retreated. Anyway, their mission was completed. Although this so-called space battle didn't turn out very well, the two believed that Boss Yin had found the answer.
Space battle?
What a joke. Why would assassins play this kind of "game" where they openly fought? Were they playing monkeys? Even if they practiced, they would use assassination missions to practice. This kind of thing could only be used as a pastime. Their space battles always ended with the death of the target. This so-called space battle was just an excuse for Boss Yin to find the answer. The two of them were just here to play. That was all.
"This is … the end?" Everyone in the starship was stunned. It was over just like that?
They felt like they had been tricked.
Silin put away his gun and patted Huimao, who was licking his claws. "Let's go. Don't eat random things in the future. "
"I didn't eat random things. It was just that I suddenly felt like vomiting when I was electrocuted. I ate too much. Those robots are really disgusting. I haven't even finished digesting them." Huimao transformed into his powerful mode and carried Silin back to the starship.
"Silin, did you guess from the beginning that the other party wasn't going to be serious?" Huimao asked.
"I had that feeling. Also, if my opponent was in the middle of an assassination, his telescopic knife should be black and not reflect light. It's just that because of the nature of this space station, the other party didn't use that kind of assassination tool. Think about it. As the boss of an assassin organization, Wushe, Wushe, why would he suggest such a childish method of competition? "
"Then what does that old man want?"
"It's probably because of you."
"Me? What does he want with me?! "Huimao exploded. It hated being someone else's research subject.
"It might not necessarily be you. I heard that there's a person in Wushe who likes to eat ice cream. He's very interested in cyborgs, and Wushe also likes to eat ice cream. He was eating it during our previous conversations. So, it should be him."
Huimao was silent for a moment, then said, "Silin, why don't we eliminate that old man first?"
Silin pulled on Huimao's ear. "Don't even think about it. That old man is very cunning."
After returning to the Eleventh Squad's starship, Huimao Wushe was waiting in front of the holographic screen.
"Alright, you win this time." Wushe's tone was very casual. It was almost as if he was saying, "Fine, you can drink this extra cup of water."
Huimao squatted on Silin's shoulder and stared at Wushe with hostility. The more he looked at this old man, the more cunning he felt.
Due to Huimao's intense gaze, Wushe put down the ice cream in his hand and asked, "Little fat cat, do you have something against me?"
Huimao raised his chin. "I know you're plotting something against me!" After a pause, he said, "Are you going to do something improper to me?!"
Huimao Wushe: "…"
The little guy sitting on the table next to Huimao Wushe also widened his eyes. Was this cat's brain still working?!
Silin flicked Huimao's ear. "That last line shouldn't be used in this situation. I told you not to watch those pornographic films like Yue. You'll turn into an idiot if you watch too many of them."
Huimao swung his tail in annoyance and harrumphed.
"Alright, let's get back to business. I said I would tell you something if you won, so I'll fulfill my promise now. "Huimao Wushe straightened his face and said," This information is about several core members of Vanguard. Someone is going to assassinate the higher-ups of Vanguard, and there are at least ten people on their hit list. As for whether Ji Feng is on that list or not, I'm not sure. "
Assassinate the higher-ups of Vanguard?
"'Fog'?" Silin only thought of this assassin organization that was on par with Huimao Wushe. The other assassin organizations wouldn't have the guts to do something like this.
"Correct!"
"Why didn't you tell Captain Ji Feng?"
"Why should I tell Ji Feng?" Uncle Yin said casually.
However, if he told Silin, Silin would definitely tell Ji Feng. Huimao Wushe didn't care if Ji Feng knew about this.
Silin thinks for a moment and said, "I'll tell the captain about this. Is there anything else?"
"Not for now. Oh, there's one more thing. I'm very interested in the cat on your shoulder, but don't worry, I won't do anything to it. In fact, in some ways, I'm on the same side as you." After saying this, Huimao Wushe hung up. The aircraft also flew away and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
On the same side?
Silin still didn't understand the true meaning of Huimao Wushe's words. By the time he understood, the two of them were already engaged in a fierce battle.
Inside Huimao Wushe's aircraft, the little guy who had finished another big cup of ice cream was already squatting in Huimao Wushe's arms and dozing off. His long, furry tail was wrapped around his body, and he looked very satisfied.
Huimao Wushe stroked the snow-white fur of the little guy in his arms and said, "How is it? How do you feel?"
This sentence wasn't directed at the little guy in his arms, but at the two people standing not far away. These two people were the ones who had gone out to fight Silin and Huimao.
"That guy is hiding his strength," the person beside Tai Pan Han said. He had fought with Celine for a period of time. Although he hadn't used his best skills and hadn't used his true strength, he could still see some things.
"Hiding his strength?"
"Yes, I think there were three times when he could have killed me in one hit, but I don't know if it's because it was just a sparring match or something else, but he didn't use his full strength," the person said confidently.
"That's true," Huimao Wushe said slowly. "Even now, no one knows how strong Silin really is. Also, didn't you notice that he doesn't need to use force when he can? For example, the virus that caused the 'miracle', or the reason why the Skeleton King and his subordinates died a few years ago according to the information you've gathered. He didn't use force at all; he relied on other methods.
He wasn't able to kill Oskulow because of his combat prowess. There could be other factors as well. Actually, we all know that a person's combat prowess isn't that scary. What's scary is the ability to kill a large group of people without using any sort of combat prowess. Out of all the people we've come into contact with, people like that are the most dangerous because their destructive power is impossible to estimate. Not to mention, that kid has both.
Also, I don't know what deal that kid made with Gadar, but I know that Gadar is the kind of person who won't care if the difference in strength is too big. Being able to talk to him and build a relationship means that Gadar values Silin a lot. Someone wanted to make a deal with Azrael for Silin's life, but Azrael refused. Others thought it was because of Gadar, but I think it was Sihuang who made the decision. "
Huimao Wushe said this for his subordinates. He rarely spoke so much at once, but this time, the people on the spaceplane would take it seriously.
Silin didn't know what Huimao Wushe's people thought of him. After he contacted Ji Feng, he told him about his conversation with Wushe.
However, Ji Feng seemed to be prepared for this. "It's time for them to make a move."
The 'them' he was referring to was the 'Fog' and some related people.
There were many things that Silin didn't know about in Vanguard, and the huge movement in Vanguard last time wasn't just about Songba Leruo being ambushed. Maybe Ji Feng had already noticed something.
Ji Feng told Silin to be careful, and he would contact Wushe. At the same time, he also told Silin to be prepared. Since Wushe came looking for him, it wouldn't be a simple test. He believed that they would meet again soon.
Silin agreed with Ji Feng's speculation. Ji Feng definitely knew more about Wushe than Silin. On the other hand, Silin had a vague feeling that Ji Feng still had some thoughts that he hadn't told him, and those thoughts were related to him and Huimao.
"What do we do next, Silin?" Eudy asked.
Other than the news brought by Wushe, Ji Feng had also sent over some internal information regarding the other Hunter regiments. Recently, the other three Hunter regiments had been acting strangely. Something was brewing. Just like Ji Feng said, the hunter world of the League of Stars was probably going to undergo a great change.
Now that they knew that the A Squadron of Vanguard would be in trouble, the entire hunter world would be making a big move soon. No one would be able to avoid it once the war began, and a small team like theirs wouldn't have much of an advantage. Of course, the best thing for them to do was to meet up with the other B Squadrons and deal with the coming change together.
"Let's return to the base at Sector Z and make preparations," Silin said.
"Alright, got it."
Never fight a battle unprepared. Since they knew that a great change was coming, they had to arm themselves first. It was a good opportunity to get their hands on so many top-grade energy ores, and they could strengthen their weapons quite a bit. Moreover, they had to hurry. No one knew when the great change would erupt in the hunter world.
While Silin was pondering the information he just received, Ah Yue was poking his head around outside the command room. It was only after Silin and Eudy were done discussing matters that Ah Yue flew in.
"What is it?" Silin asked.
"Silin, have you been busy lately?" Ah Yue looked a little nervous as he twirled his fingers.
"I won't be idle for the time being. Is there any trouble? "Silin said.
"Well … if you're busy, we can help you with it. However, we hope that you can spare some time to help us." Ah Yue continued to twirl his fingers.
"What kind of help? If it's urgent, I can help you first. "
"That's great!" After Silin agreed, Ah Yue pulled Silin and rushed towards the other end of the passage.
"What's the rush?" Silin ran after him.
"Hurry up and save me!"
