Chapter 51: Chapter 51 – The Outbreak of Polluted Entities in Zone B

    Such an excuse was too obvious, and Xiang Li felt it was too outrageous as soon as he said it.

    Xiang Li: “…”

    Chu Qi stared at the wilting yellow cactus in front of him, as if it were at his doorstep, and the corners of his lips unconsciously turned upward.

    Chu Qi: “Well, if you don’t want to talk about it, fine.”

    “After all, you can’t go and die, right?”

    Xiang Li: “…”

    Xiang Li glared fiercely at Xian Pengpeng, the one who had just slandered him for “making eyes.”

    Xian Pengpeng stood not far behind Chu Qi, narrowed his eyes, and secretly made a “yay” gesture at Xiang Li.

    Xiang Li laughed in anger and snorted softly.

    “Officer, I’m reporting him, that person is an unregistered resident.”

    Xian Pengpeng: “???”

    He turned his head and met Chu Qi’s gaze.

    Chu Qi: “What’s your name?”

    Xian Pengpeng flattered and said with a “hehe” laugh, “Bai—”

    Xiang Li interrupted his nonsense: “Xian Pengpeng.”

    “His great-grandparents were also in your management, and he was delivered by Lao Yan and the old man Yu Han when his parents died.”

    Xiang Li slowly added, “He’s not registered.”

    Xian Pengpeng: “…”

    Just you had to open your mouth!

    Chu Qi listened attentively, his eyes occasionally sweeping over Xian Pengpeng.

    Xian Pengpeng felt a chill down his back from the staring, his body stiffened into a wooden board, his eyes fiercely staring at Xiang Li, who was revealing his shortcomings.

    “Colonel!”

    A soldier ran over and said.

    Xiang Li’s nagging voice of accusation also stopped abruptly, and everyone’s eyes looked over.

    Soldier: “Colonel, the polluted entities in Zone B have broken out again.”

    Xian Pengpeng’s eyes slightly condensed. Zone B, seemed to be the area where Colonel Chu and Xiang Li had just come from.

    He looked at Xiang Li, who was looking in Chu Qi’s direction.

    Chu Qi had a serious expression, and he swiped twice on the virtual light panel in front of him. Xiang Li glanced at it. It seemed to be a holographic projection of Zone B.

    He whispered a few words to the communicator on his wrist, and then followed the soldier in a certain direction. At this moment, Xiang Li glanced at Xian Pengpeng.

    The other party winked at him understandingly, and a thin line made of Spiritual Power emerged from his wrist.

    The other end of the line was connected to—Chu Qi’s back, who had already walked away.

    The Spiritual Power line was soft, swaying up and down with the wind. Xian Pengpeng closed his eyes at this moment, and at the same time, the thin line on his wrist dimmed.

    A dozen seconds later, Xian Pengpeng opened his eyes, and he darted to Xiang Li’s side. The others obviously saw their actions, but no one curiously opened their mouths.

    They were all from the Ghost Market; they didn’t know about other people’s affairs, and they didn’t inquire.

    Xiang Li and Xian Pengpeng found a deserted place, and the latter complained first.

    “Don’t look for me for such dangerous things next time. If Colonel Chu finds out, I won’t be able to die like you guys.”

    Xiang Li casually said, “He wouldn’t kill you.”

    Xian Pengpeng bristled.

    “Unregistered resident, do you know how much convenience this identity has given me? More importantly, if I get registered, I’ll have to pay back the Interstellar Credits for the past twenty years. Damn it.”

    Xian Pengpeng felt a pain in his flesh just thinking about the Interstellar Credits he had to pay back. What was the difference between this and cutting his flesh and drinking his blood?

    Xiang Li slightly raised his chin and asked, “How was it? What did you see?”

    [Xian Pengpeng’s Spiritual Ability: To detect the strongest emotions in the depths of the Spiritual Sea]

    It was a cumbersome ability, but it was exactly what Xiang Li needed now.

    Xian Pengpeng put on a proud look, after all, this was the first time his ability had come in handy.

    He faced his palm upwards and blurted out, “One hundred Interstellar Credits.”

    Xiang Li reached out and slapped it back with a “pa.”

    “No way, it would be weird if I had any Interstellar Credits on me.”

    Xian Pengpeng seemed to have thought of something, and his whole person slumped down.

    That’s right, Xiang Li had saved up only eight hundred Interstellar Credits in total for more than three hundred years, and he had used them all to buy the quantum key for Colonel Chu’s bathroom holographic image.

    He was still a middleman who earned ten Interstellar Credits.

    Speaking of this, Xian Pengpeng felt another itch in his teeth. After being registered as an unregistered resident, he would not be able to travel freely through the Interstellar Space, and every space-time jump would cost credits.

    Xian Pengpeng bit his handkerchief, his eyes filled with tears. It was all his money.

    Xiang Li impatiently waved his hand at Xian Pengpeng, interrupting the latter’s pretentious emotions about Interstellar Credits.

    “So what did you see?”

    Xian Pengpeng: “Shock, anger.”

    Xiang Li: “That’s it? No happiness?”

    Xian Pengpeng shook his head, “There was some, but very little.”

    Xiang Li lightly clicked his tongue when he heard this result.

    Xian Pengpeng tilted his head, his eyes sizing up and down someone who was exuding an aura of displeasure.

    “What’s wrong?”

    Xiang Li didn’t answer, but asked again, “Can you tell who the target of the fluctuations is?”

    Xian Pengpeng recalled for a moment, and his brows furrowed as a result.

    “You—shock, shock, you—anger, you, you, you, you, you, anger.”

    Xiang Li: “…”

    Xian Pengpeng was shocked himself when he said it.

    “Do you make him angry every day for fun?”

    Xiang Li gritted his teeth, “Shut up.”

    After he finished, he added a few words, “Your ability is useless and blind.”

    Xian Pengpeng refused to accept it, with his hands on his hips, he stretched out his hand, and the tip of his orchid-fingered index finger lightly tapped Xiang Li, using a delicate voice.

    “I admit that my ability is useless, but you can’t say it’s blind. I’ve been training very hard!”

    Xiang Li stared at the orchid finger in front of him and added, “Sissy.”

    Xian Pengpeng: “…”

    Your mom #*&@.

    Two people walked towards them, Xian Pengpeng’s cursing stopped, and he narrowed his eyes.

    Hill felt a chill when he was stared at, and reached out to pull Bai Yan next to him to block him.

    Bai Yan, who didn’t know why: “?”

    Xiang Li also noticed the two of them, and raised his eyebrows.

    “Pretty fast.”

    Bai Yan nodded to Xian Pengpeng as a greeting, and then replied.

    “Yeah, look who I am.”

    Hill snorted, “Like a dog.”

    Bai Yan rolled his eyes at the other party, but his expression was not very obvious on his dark face, and he generously didn’t retort.

    Hill asked, “What are you planning to do next?”

    Xiang Li: “What’s the benefit for Qi Xiao and his wife to infect humans into Polluted Entities?”

    “Why did Fan Yuanying initially say that you were colluding with them—”

    Hill frowned when he heard this, “Don’t use random words.”

    Xiang Li heard it, but Xiang Li didn’t change it.

    He continued, “If you came to the Main Star to seek revenge on the people in the laboratory, then your target is the two of them.”

    Hill crossed his arms, “Mm-hmm.” He nodded to signal the other party to continue.

    Xiang Li said again, “After all, they are the only two survivors from the laboratory back then. If that’s the case, what role does Fan Yuanying play in this?”

    “Qi Xiao died after visiting him. Why did he die? Did Qi Xiao really kill him?”

    Bai Yan thought for two seconds, “I think if Qi Xiao didn’t understand him, he would be more reluctant to let him die than he would himself.”

    “Then how did Fan Yuanying die? Suicide?”

    No one answered Bai Yan’s question, and even Xiang Li couldn’t figure it out.

    He murmured, “Experiment Body Number 053—”

    He suddenly turned to ask Bai Yan, “Experiment Body Number 053, does the information you know mention that he has any Spiritual Abilities?”

    Hill: “Yes, he can copy Spiritual Forms, which is very similar to Yan Zhou Ping’s Spiritual Ability. I was shocked at the time.”

    “But it’s just very similar. As far as I know, Yan Zhou Ping’s Spiritual Ability can only copy shadows, while Experiment Body Number 053 copies real entities.”

    He looked into Xiang Li’s eyes.

    “You don’t suspect that the Fan Yuanying in prison is a copy, do you?”

    Xiang Li nodded.

    Bai Yan interjected, “Then why did Qi Xiao want to kill him? He wasn’t in any danger in prison, was he?”

    Then he was a little confused again, “Hiss—weren’t those days the beginning of the special period? She went to the interrogation room in a weakened state just to see Experiment Body Number 053?”

    Xian Pengpeng was sitting idly on the side watching them discuss things he didn’t understand, when suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his heart.

    He reached out to cover the position of his heart, his lips turned white, and he reached out to tug at Xiang Li, who was closest to him.

    “Xiang Li—”

    The other party also quickly noticed his unusual state, and reached out to pat the back of Xian Pengpeng’s neck, where a small device was installed, storing some Spiritual Healing Agents.

    The nano-capsule at the back of his neck was squeezed, and instantly burst open, drilling into Xian Pengpeng’s skin pores.

    Xian Pengpeng’s face eased up, and he coughed twice, “Chu… Colonel Chu is in danger!”

    After Xiang Li heard Xian Pengpeng’s words clearly, he suddenly felt a chill. He reached out and grabbed Xian Pengpeng’s shoulders.

    “Zone B?!”

    Xian Pengpeng was stunned, just covering his heart, his eyes were almost blank, and he said vaguely, “Yes… it seems to be… Zone B.”

    Xiang Li raised his head, “He’s yours, I’m going to find Chu Qi.”

    After he finished speaking, without caring about Bai Yan’s reaction, he disappeared without a trace.

    Bai Yan reached out towards Xian Pengpeng’s waist, but was stopped by Hill.

    Hill: “What are you doing?”

    Although Bai Yan was anxious, he still explained, “I remember he has a dagger on his waist.”

    Hill silently reached out and threw the knife hidden in his clothes to Bai Yan.

    Zone B.

    When Xiang Li arrived, what he saw were Polluted Entities surging up and lying on the barrier.

    They were densely packed and countless, and the hard exoskeletons of their legs and feet collided with each other, making a scalp-numbing “click” sound.

    Lin Wu saw Xiang Li and was shocked for a moment, but he quickly reacted and shouted at him, “Xiang Li, Chu Qi is still outside! Chu Qi—”

    Xiang Li took a few deep breaths, suppressing the sourness that he didn’t know when or why it had arisen in his heart.

    The Polluted Entities in front of him seemed to be forming an arc on the barrier. He walked into the barrier, and the movements of the Polluted Entities in front of him began to slow down.

    He walked to the barrier, and the Polluted Entities were only a step away from him. The Polluted Entities, which should have been avoided long ago, were now only slowing down.

    Xiang Li reached out, and the black Crescent Blade appeared in his palm. He slashed out one after another, and the dense mass in front of him was forced to give way to a path for him.

    He cleared the road in front of him, and his body gradually stepped out of the barrier. He could only take care of what was in front of him and could not take care of what was behind him.

    The Polluted Entities that had originally given way to the side began to slowly approach Xiang Li’s back. Xiang Li automatically ignored the pile of disgusting bugs around him, his eyes fixed on the front.

    He didn’t know how many or how long he had been cutting down disgusting things before Xiang Li saw the familiar dilapidated mech.

    It was covered with disgusting things, just like the barrier he had just seen.

    Xiang Li’s eyes were somewhat bloodshot, and the Spiritual Power in his hand once again changed the weapon’s form, wrapping the entire mech, and a thin black Spiritual Power barrier popped out from the inside, protecting him and [Silver] within it.

    The mech had already been breached, and the blood of the person who was leaking out could be seen painting another layer of beautiful lacquer on [Silver].

    Xiang Li reached out, his fingertips trembling as he lifted the entire outer shell, and when he saw the specific situation, he took a sharp breath.

    The place where the mech was broken open happened to be Chu Qi’s heart. A piece of flesh and blood had already been gnawed away from his chest.

    The black uniform was now tattered. The Combat Suit that Xiang Li had once hoped would explode with fireworks was torn open. All he could see was red, just red.

    “Chu Qi!”
