Military Department Sweep

Hearing Gu Ding say that Sharp wasn't dead, Bade's heart skipped a beat, but he immediately thought Gu Ding was bluffing. "Hey, don't joke around like that, okay? You saw it yourself, I stabbed that guy in the heart with my own hands, and he died on the spot. He doesn't have any special abilities, how could he possibly survive?"

Gu Ding remained silent and sent the complete video, along with videos of the three Young Dragons. "Take a look at the video. About twenty minutes after you left, that guy got up from the ground. I'll also send you the video of the Young Dragon."

After hanging up the call, Liliath leaned closer and asked, "Are you sure you don't want to form an alliance with them?"

"Their plan is completely unworkable; allying with them now is suicide," Gu Ding shook his head. "Don't worry, if they really want to take action, they'll definitely call on us, because they need Bigge to help hold back a Tenth-Order Gene Body powerhouse. Moreover, if they want to leave by spaceship, they need the Sea Emperor's help. For Bade, any team can be missing, but he won't abandon our team. Because if we can't leave, no one else can either. Now they have all the information; let's wait for their reply and see what workable plan they have."

When Bade hung up the call, noticing Bade unpleasant expression, one of the team members cautiously asked, "Boss, did that kid Gu Ding refuse our cooperation?"

"He didn't refuse, but he told me two very bad pieces of news." As he spoke, Bade projected the first video that Gu Ding had given him, which was a video of him fighting with Sharp in the mall. He kept pulling the video back until about twenty minutes after he left. He finally saw Sharp, who was lying on the ground, slowly get up, and the wound on his chest began to heal quickly.

"How is this possible? Has he awakened the ability to resurrect?" Bade found this result utterly absurd; the person he had killed had come back to life.

Several members of his team also came over and saw the video projection.

"Boss... Sharp isn't dead?" one of them asked, somewhat uncertainly.

Bade closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down. This was a devastating blow to him; all his scheming had only resulted in this. It was a pity he'd missed this opportunity; he would never have another. Sharp wouldn't make the same mistake twice, and Sharp had already advanced to Eleventh Order genetic being, far stronger than before. He even anticipated that Sharp was now frantically searching for him, seeking revenge and reclaiming his knife.

"Yes, this is the first bad news Gu Ding told me." Bade's voice betrayed a hint of helplessness.

"So... what's the second piece of bad news?"

Bade clicked on the second video that Gu Ding had sent him. In the video, three interceptor Young Dragon, each larger than the Golden Eagle, were standing guard outside the Titan Star.

"These three ships, are they the Young Dragon? Why is this bad news? What does it have to do with us?" Some people didn't quite understand the planetary background below the Young Dragon.

"These three interceptor ships of the Young Dragon are currently docked outside of Titan Star. Even if Gu Ding helped us activate the port's Sky Dome shield and disable the port's Armor-Piercing Cannon system, we will be immediately intercepted by these three Young Dragon as soon as we leave the planet's atmosphere." Bade's initial joy at killing Sharp had completely vanished; in fact, he even felt somewhat frustrated. All the effort he had put in had gone to waste, and being trapped in this place with no idea how to escape made him feel even more stifled.

Unlike his situation, the hotel where Gu Ding and his group were staying was very peaceful.

After a day of running around, even as a spectator, Gu Ding felt exhausted.

Liliath went back to her room and went to sleep early.

Bigge didn't seem sleepy, but he went back to his room.

Even Robert, who never sleeps, has entered a state of hibernation.

After saying goodnight, Gu Ding rolled up in the blanket, turned over, and looked out at the starry sky once more...

The next morning, Gu Ding was woken up by the Sea Emperor.

Stretching, Gu Ding asked sleepily, "What's going on? So early?"

"The military has already started moving! They're currently sweeping through areas of the city without video surveillance," Sea Emperor said, projecting a video feed.

The military personnel worked in small groups, with two groups sweeping through a block, knocking on doors and searching houses.

As Gu Ding washed up, he would occasionally glance up at the video projection. In just over ten minutes, Gu Ding had already seen several people being arrested. Although they were all unfamiliar faces, they were clearly Interstellar Pirate.

The small inn where Gu Ding and his friends were staying didn't have a restaurant, and Bigge still prepared their meals every day. The only difference was that they didn't gather in the kitchen, but rather in Bigge's room.

When Gu Ding knocked on Bigge's door, Big had just started making breakfast.

"So early today?" On the spaceship, Liliath is usually the first one there, while Gu Ding usually arrives around the time breakfast is almost ready.

"I was woken up by the Sea Emperor." Gu Ding was still looking at the chaotic scene on the video projector.

"What are you looking at?" Bigge glanced at it, not quite understanding.

"Those guys in the military are sweeping through areas without video surveillance," Gu Ding, his eyes glued to the screen.

Suddenly, Gu Ding saw a familiar figure on the video – it was An Luo. Even in a crowd, his features were quite distinctive – his hair was completely white, and he was wearing a black hat.

An Luo's gait was peculiar; he never took large steps, yet each time he covered a considerable distance. Moreover, his disappearances were always without warning, which was somewhat similar to the Shadow Step.

However, An Luo was soon discovered, and a military squad caught up with him, led by a Military Department Major General.

An Luo darted forward a few steps, then suddenly disappeared around a bend. Gu Ding saw his movement; he had already stealthily slipped back behind the military group.

A dagger appeared silently in his right hand. He moved nimbly behind a man, covered his mouth, and the dagger sliced through the man's carotid artery. The move was extremely clean and swift, clearly not the first time he had done something like this.

After gently setting the body down, An Luo appeared behind the second person and slit the neck again.

It wasn't until the third person died that the remaining members of the squad realized they had been ambushed.

An Luo was not alarmed at being discovered. He flashed in front of someone, plunged the dagger directly into the person's heart, and disappeared again.

"This must be what's called Assassination Art," Gu Ding said, resting his chin on his hand as he looked at the video projection.

In the video, An Luo was practically committing a one-sided massacre; almost every five seconds, someone would fall to the ground and remain motionless. The ten-man squad was quickly reduced to just the major general in charge.

In Gu Ding's view, this fight was somewhat interesting. Although An Luo was only Seventh Order Gene Body, his Assassination Art were indeed quite formidable. His opponent, on the other hand, was a military member with an Eighth Order Gene Body. Although he wasn't as agile as An Luo, he was An Luo and wouldn't be so easily defeated.

An Luo brandished the dagger in his right hand, then stood opposite the Military Department Major General. "Now it's just the two of us, and you don't seem too weak either. Well then... I'll have to take my leave!"

An Luo had barely finished speaking when he vanished completely.

The major Military Department Major General was clearly caught off guard. He had expected the other party to fight him to the death, but the man had vanished without a trace.

Gu Ding was also taken aback, then chuckled, "This guy actually ran away. I thought we were going to have a serious fight."

"Only a fool would get entangled with this major general," Sea Emperor said at this moment. "His choice is obviously very wise. There are military personnel in almost every block in that area. Once he gets bogged down, other military teams will definitely come to reinforce him, and then he won't be able to escape."

Later, in another unmonitored area, Gu Ding spotted a familiar face – this time it was Bade.

Unlike the other fleeing men, Bade took a direct and forceful approach. All the military personnel within his sight had their necks snapped by black chains.

Everything Bade did was seen by Gu Ding, and naturally by the military as well.

Walter narrowed his eyes as he looked at the arrogant Bade, and soon he gave the order for the other teams to retreat. But this did not mean that he had chosen to retreat; rather, he had chosen another tactic.

"Team members, retreat to the outer perimeter of the area. Send three Mecha in," Walter ordered.

Watching the military personnel retreat quickly, Bade felt a little smug, which showed that the military personnel were afraid of him.

But the three Mecha that appeared before him made him raise an eyebrow. In truth, the presence or absence of Mecha made no difference to him; his mental energy chains could appear anywhere. Since they were willing to offer him food, he had no reason to refuse.

He gripped the chain at his waist and pulled hard, the black chain instantly extending and binding the Mecha. Bade, seeing this, was suddenly stunned. Normally, his black chain should be able to ignore the Mecha's defenses and directly affect the opponent.

But this time, his attack seemed to be blocked by something outside the Mecha.

"These three Mecha have been modified and equipped with Mental Power Magnetic Field, capable of interfering with and isolating mental attacks," Sea Emperor explained upon seeing this. "It seems this arrogant guy is about to run into trouble." (To be continued.)
