    Chapter 295: You’re Not an Ordinary Person?

    The mutated insect emitted a high-frequency, sharp screech, then froze in place after two seconds.

    Flames fiercely burned its body, and the temperature of the entire warehouse rapidly soared.

    Pei Yanlie continuously released fireballs, finally pulling out a silver gun and shooting directly at the center of the mutated insect’s head.

    With a “squeak,” its body convulsed violently and collapsed heavily to the ground.

    Zhou Zhou didn’t dare retract his mental energy. His handsome face was covered in a fine layer of sweat. He controlled his mental tendrils to burrow into the center of the mutated insect’s head, and only after confirming that the energy supply from the strange crystal had been severed did he breathe a sigh of relief.

    “Cough cough cough…”

    “The smoke is toxic, everyone retreat and take cover!” Yuan Heng shouted to the Tian Ge Lian Meng members.

    Pei Yanlie walked a few steps to the mutated insect’s corpse, his pupils glowing with blue light and radiating waves of cold air.

    In a short while, the head of the mutated insect was frozen solid, shattering into pieces on the ground the next moment.

    The crimson strange crystal emitted an eerie and dazzling light, making one’s scalp tingle at first glance.

    “A red strange crystal? A very rare color.” Zhou Zhou covered his mouth and nose as he walked to Pei Yanlie’s side, his eyes full of interest.

    “Let’s leave here first.” Pei Yanlie put away the strange crystal, grabbed the other’s wrist, and strode out of the warehouse.

    Inside the spaceship’s lounge, everyone gathered together, the atmosphere heavy and oppressive, no one speaking.

    Who could have imagined that Su Wanxing would actually be disguised as a mutated insect? Just thinking about how they had been eating and drinking with a mutated insect for so many days sent shivers down their spines.

    “The bottom of the spaceship is severely damaged, I’ve already requested assistance from the Main Star.” Yuan Heng had already removed his gas mask, his expression serious and earnest.

    “Don’t let your guard down, there are various mutated creatures floating in space, they could appear at any time.” Pei Yanlie glanced at everyone, “To avoid the mutated creature army, we can only temporarily leave the spaceship and land at a safe location.”

    “Everything will be arranged by the General.”

    The Tian Ge members shouted in unison.

    Just then, a medium-sized spaceship appeared not far ahead, heading straight towards them.

    The bright red skull pattern on the top of the spaceship was very conspicuous. Someone exclaimed, “Oh no! It’s a Star Robber!”

    “Everyone be on guard, prepare for battle!”

    “A bunch of those not afraid of death, we just happen to have a free spaceship to change to!”

    The Star Robber spaceship got closer and closer. Just as everyone was about to attack, the other side sent a video link request.

    Yuan Heng hesitated for two seconds, and seeing that the General had no objection, he pressed the agree link.

    A virtual screen popped up in front of the lounge, revealing a man’s bloody face, his golden hair also stained with blood.

    Zhou Zhou’s pupils shrank sharply, “Qin Yang!”

    “Heavens, what happened to him!”

    “Could it be a trap? What if he’s a mutated being in disguise…”

    Pei Yanlie raised his hand, signaling them to be silent.

    Qin Yang half-narrowed his blue eyes, looked at the familiar figure on the screen, and chuckled, “Little Zhou, I didn’t expect to meet you here.”

    His gaze shifted to Pei Yanlie, “General, long time no see.”

    “What’s with the blood on you? Why are you alone on a Star Robber spaceship?” Zhou Zhou frowned, his tone worried.

    “I’ll tell you in person. I saw from afar that the outside of your spaceship was severely damaged, and I thought I’d come over to investigate, but I didn’t expect there would actually be people inside.”

    Qin Yang propped himself up on the table with one hand, his Adam’s apple bobbing, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

    “Qin Yang!”

    Zhou Zhou gasped, “Hurry and open the spaceship entrance.”

    “He’s pretty badly injured, could he have been injured by mutated beings?”

    “Isn’t Qin Yang the leader of the mecha department? Before I left the Main Star, I heard that the mecha he manufactured was about to be put into use in heavily polluted areas.”

    The video link suddenly broke, the virtual screen disappearing into thin air.

    “General, the situation on the other side isn’t clear yet, how about we stick to our original plan and land?”

    Someone boldly suggested.

    They really didn’t have a good impression of mutated beings, especially after just sacrificing a teammate, which had hit them hard.

    “Yeah, Qin Yang is an ordinary person, right? If he’s carrying a virus, there’s a high chance he’ll mutate.”

    Zhou Zhou glared at them, “Is this the attitude of you Tian Ge members towards ordinary residents? Afraid of death. Besides, there’s no concrete evidence proving that Qin Yang will mutate into a mutated being.”

    Pei Yanlie said in a low voice, “Those who don’t want to go can stay behind, let’s go.”

    He took Zhou Zhou’s hand and walked towards the hovercar parking area, turning back to look at the crowd who were following behind with their heads lowered, saying nothing.

    The minority obeys the majority. Although some people were dissatisfied with Zhou Zhou’s remarks, they only dared to mutter a few words in their hearts.

    [Tch, I haven’t seen him have any special abilities, what qualifications does he have to be by the General’s side.]

    [If it weren’t for Su Wanxing leaving, how would it be his turn to speak!]

    [The General is really confused, disregarding the overall situation and listening to petty people!]

    [Qin Yang is just an ordinary person, how is his life as important as ours, tsk!]

    Zhou Zhou half-narrowed his eyes, a trace of displeasure flashing across his eyes. These superhuman / esper who were two-faced were really making him uncomfortable.

    He pursed his lips, his pupils turning dark, and imperceptibly released mental tendrils to burrow into their heads.

    “Slap yourselves, your mouths are so cheap… no, it should be your brains are owe.”

    “Pa pa pa”

    The men who were secretly slandering froze, their hands uncontrollably raising to slap themselves hard on the face, the fear in their eyes undisguised.

    [Damn! What’s going on! Possessed!]

    [Stop, stop, my hands are out of control!]

    [Mental control?!]

    Someone reacted, a chill seeping out from the back of their heads, making their scalps tingle.

    The others looked at them slapping themselves like they were seeing ghosts, and retreated a few steps.

    “General, are they possessed?”

    Pei Yanlie’s icy gaze landed on him, and he said coldly, “Control your own brain, don’t talk nonsense.”

    Zhou Zhou retracted his mental tendrils and nodded in agreement, “If you’re not afraid of death, you can say a few more words, I don’t mind letting you perform a striptease in public.”

    The Tian Ge members looked at him in astonishment, swallowed, and asked in a low voice, “Aren’t you an ordinary person?”

    Zhou Zhou looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, “Did I say that I was an ordinary person?”

    Yuan Heng coughed twice and explained, “He has a rare mental control superpower / ability.”

    “So, the Tianlangzhu couldn’t move midway because of his superpower / ability?”

    “So, the mutated insect suddenly lost control of its body because of mental control?”

    Everyone spoke in unison, followed by undisguised envy after the shock.

    Although mental control doesn’t have powerful close-combat abilities, it can control the enemy’s body anytime, anywhere, and then issue commands, forcing the enemy to complete the commands.

    The thought sent shivers down their spines, and they closed their mouths and stopped talking.

    The few who had been pranked and slapped also remained silent, even wanting to raise their hands and slap themselves a few more times.

    Zhou Zhou curled his lips, looked at Pei Yanlie who was squeezing in, got up and sat directly on his lap, “This position is really embarrassing, can’t we each sit in a hovercar?”

    Pei Yanlie reached out and wrapped his arms around his waist, tightening his grip, and whispered, “What do you think?”
