Chapter 381. What Luck Is This?!

//~~~~/~~~~/~~~~//\\~~~~\~~~~\~~~~\\

They had tested it three times already?

Lu Ze sunk into silence when he heard these words. It felt as though he already had an impression of this thing, hadn't he?

Lu Ze thought about it silently.

On the other hand, after hearing the words of the bulky man, the handsome man smiled. "Don't worry, the test last time at Xigui System was very successful. This time, we found an even larger Void Beast hive. The scene would definitely be bigger by then."

The bulky man cracked a grin. "That's right. I can't wait to see it. It is said that there are several precious spirit items in the Ena System. Perhaps, we can become wealthy from that!"

As long as the Void Beast was fighting the Ena System's defense force, they could sneak in.

Lu Ze's eyes flashed. He finally knew what the order-weakening space bomb was. Tested it three times, once at the Xigui System, as well as Void Beast…

It can only be that natural wormhole, right?

Those three tests should correspond to the appearance of three natural wormholes, right?

Usually, natural wormholes might not appear once a year. Even if they did, they rarely connected to a place with living beings However, in the last three months, there was a wormhole every month, and each time, powerful living beings came over.

The first time, it was three black-robed monsters, but they were eaten by Yingying.

The second time, it was the Void Beasts that appeared at the Gula System.

The third time was the Void Beasts that appeared in the Xigui System.

The consequential damages were quite significant.

Lu Ze felt things weren't right upon thinking about it. He encountered all of them three times. What luck did he have?

He was only 18. He didn't deserve to have this bad luck. After losing track of his thoughts for a moment, he began to reorganize his ideas. Every time a wormhole appeared, powerful creatures would come out.

During the third time, even a Planetary State Creature emerged out of the hole. If those three experiments were really carried out, then those order-weakening space bombs could probably open a wormhole, right?

Moreover, these holes were similar to natural wormholes, weren't they?

After all, the Federation wouldn't be aware of the three incidents if they weren't similar to natural ones. After testing it three times, they could now control the direction of the opening wormhole, couldn't they?

If Jian Wen and Chris brought that bomb into Ena System and a pack of Planetary State Void Beasts came out…

Lu Ze's skin crawled. He pulled back a bit and sent a message to Lin Ling.

"Lin Ling, that box is called order-weakening space bomb. The three wormholes we encountered are quite possibly created by it. Quickly contact Vice Commander Bazer. Don't let that thing detonate on a planet. It will create a natural wormhole, and Planetary State Void Beasts would come over."

Lin Ling, who was following Chris and Jian Wen, slowed down and looked at her phone. After reading the message from Lu Ze, her beautiful brows frowned. If what Lu Ze said was true, then things were quite serious.

A Planetary State Void Beast appearing in space would be dangerous enough. If it appeared on a planet instead, then there would be no hope left for that planet. Never let that bomb explode!

Thinking about this, Lin Ling quickly contacted Vice Commander Bazer.

Luckily, he left his contact details to them when they entered the System. Of course, he was probably just showing his favor to Lu Ze.

Bazer was dealing with all sorts of things in his office back at the space station.

Suddenly, he took out his phone. Only important people could reach this phone. Who would message him at this time?

After opening his phone, he proceeded to read the message. His eyes bulged as he suddenly got up.

The news was too shocking that his Mortal Evolution State chi surged uncontrollably. Man-made natural wormhole?

One that led to Planetary State Void beasts?

His brain was shaken.

The important point was that this place wasn't far from the Ena System. Although Lin Ling didn't say whether the bomb would be brought to Ena System, he could still predict this. If the operation was done properly, then the results would be very serious if something happened to Ena System.

Thinking about this, he quickly opened the door and ran to the office of the commander.

As he ran, the soldiers on guard felt his chi and looked around in confusion.

Instantly, Bazer arrived at the commander's office and pushed his way in before even knocking

Thud!

The huge metal door fell, and there was a palm print on it.

Inside, a handsome man looked up. Upon seeing his door on the ground, along with the palm print, and Bazer, he became completely dazed.

The two looked at each other for a moment.

The atmosphere then turned awkward. His mouth twitched, and then, he smiled. "Bazer, what is with your face? Are you constipated and can't find the toilet?"

Bazer took a deep breath to calm down. Thereafter, he picked up the door and barely stuffed it back before saying calmly, "I have some things to talk about with you."

The handsome man smiled. "What is it? Don't tell me you want a holiday with your wife. Now is a special time, I want to go back too."

Bazer smiled. "It is nothing major. Perhaps, our Solar System might have a natural wormhole, and a group of Planetary State Void Beasts might come and visit us."

What?

Planetary State Void Beasts?

A group of them?

Their Solar System wasn't Xigui System No. 2.

The handsome man jumped off his chair. Upon seeing this, Bazer grinned. "Yo, Ling Dongyu, why do you seem like a monkey with a tail that had been stepped on?"

After hearing the ridicule in Bazer's words, Ling Dongyu's mouth twitched.

With a serious face, the latter said, "The news is serious?!"

Bazer managed to recover at this time. He replied, "Of course, but the situation is not worst yet. It is said that the order-weakening space bomb creates a natural wormhole. The bomb is carried by two scientists right now. They have not detonated it yet."

Ling Dongyu frowned and asked, "What is an order-weakening space bomb?"

Bazer shook his head. "I don't know. Anyway, It should be very powerful."

Ling Dongyu sighed. "Since it is not detonated, then the purpose is very problematic."

This kind of time bomb was quite difficult to deal with. If it was not handled properly, the consequences will be disastrous.

Bazer nodded. "That person didn't say it, but I think it can only be there, right?"

The two would rather have it blow up in the Gracious System. Of course, it would be best if it didn't blow up at all.

"That person?"

"Lin Ling, the one next to Lu Ze."

Ling Dongyu's eyes widened. "Lu Ze is here too?"

"Lin Ling said that Lu Ze is searching for the base of the Eternal Life Palace. It is said that this bomb is related to Eternal Life Palace. Lin Ling relayed that we shouldn't make a big fuss about the bomb to prevent startling the enemy."

Ling Dongyu nodded. If they made too much noise, the Eternal Life Palace might detonate it early. However, they didn't expect Lu Ze to find the Eternal Life Palace base as soon as he came to the Gracious System.

He was indeed the strongest prodigy of the young generation. They had been searching for a few months, but they weren't able to find any clues.

After thinking about this, Ling Dongyu nodded. "Leave old Benny to guard this place. You, I, Angela, old Yang, we are all Mortal Evolution States. We will have another squad of Aperture Opening States. Everyone should pretend to be the patrol fleet and go to planet Gracious!"

Bazer smiled. "I was waiting for this. I will notify Lin Ling."

Thereafter, Bazer left the room after stretching his hand. Once more, the door was left lying on the ground while Bazer disappeared.

Ling Dongyu: "…"

Chapter 382. I'll Only Kill One

//~~~~/~~~~/~~~~//\\~~~~\~~~~\~~~~\\

Gracious System.

Under the night sky, the handsome man and the bulky man flew while envisioning the future ahead of them. Both of them hoped for the immediate arrival of tomorrow.

The quicker it comes, the sooner they could head to Ena System to help themselves to some good loot. They failed to notice anything amiss at all.

On the ground, a few kilometers away, Lu Ze had been silently watching the two figures. After sending the message to Lin Ling, he stopped thinking about the bomb.

With how smart Lin Ling was, she should be able to handle it well.

Lu Ze did not feel excessively worried regarding this matter.

At this time, the handsome man spoke. "However, we should be careful before that. After all, there are a few Mortal Evolution States in the Gracious System's defense force."

Upon recalling something, the bulky man said, "By the way, the surveillance saw Lu Ze and Lin Ling while monitoring Jian Wen and Chris today. Lu Ze's power is now in the Mortal Evolution State, isn't it?"

After hearing these words, the handsome man's eyes flashed with jealousy. He sneered. "Indeed, he has such power in such a short time. It is really good to be talented. Everyone is complimenting him. Meanwhile, we are like street rats."

On the other hand, Lu Ze, who heard his remark, silently expressed his disagreement. Them looking like street rats should not have any connection to being talented, right?

If he went out and involved himself in despicable things like these people, he would probably end up like a street rat as well.

The two sunk into silence for a while after talking about Lu Ze.

Moments later, the handsome man continued to speak. "Let's just be careful for now. Lu Ze came into contact with Jian Wen. Don't expose our base."

As he spoke, the man expanded his mental force, wanting to see if anyone was following However, Lu Ze's chi stealth technique had been cultivated to the extreme, and he had [Mental Force God Art].

Moreover, his cultivation level was superior to his. There was no way the man would find Lu Ze's whereabouts.

With disapproval in his voice, the bulky man said, "So what if he finds us? Our base has two palace lords there. No matter how strong Lu Ze is, he can't fight us alone. By the time he notifies the defense force, we will be long gone."

When the handsome man heard the words, he fell silent. Thereafter, he said, "It is better to be careful anyway. Otherwise, if something happened, we won't be able to explain it to the palace lord."

Upon the mention of the palace lord, the bulky man finally shut his mouth. If they were discovered, their skins would probably be peeled off.

However, Lu Ze, who heard the entire exchange while hiding himself, could not help but grin. As it turned out, there were only two palace lords in their base at this moment, right?

Great!

Previously, he thought all four of the lords were present. Facing four lords would prove to be tricky for Lu Ze. However, if there were only two, he could probably try fighting them.

Thinking about this, Lu Ze's blood boiled.

After all, he liked to just charge directly and fight.

At this moment, Lu Ze's eyes lit up. He suddenly had an interesting idea. Perhaps, he could get into the base easily.

As soon as he thought of this, Lu Ze's whole body surged with a silver light, and he instantly crossed through space-effortlessly covering a distance of several kilometers. Right then, he appeared in front of the handsome man and the bulky man.

Just a while ago, these two men were happily chatting with each other. However, the sudden appearance of a figure before the two made their bodies stiffen. They were shocked.

Just when they appeared scared, blue lights flashed in Lu Ze's eyes. Thereafter, his mental force turned into spikes, which proceeded to drill through the minds of these two people. Their powers were merely at the Aperture Opening State.

Naturally, they could not resist Lu Ze's mental force attack.

Immediately, they could feel their brains being pierced by countless needles as these needles continued to stir.

The immense pain rendered them incapable of even staying afloat, so they fell straight to the ground.

When Lu Ze noticed this, he used his [Wind God Art].

The wind swept up the two members of Eternal Life Palace who had completely lost the ability to resist. At the same time, he poured wind onto their bodies in order to seal both their physical power and spirit force.

With this, they will not be able to act covertly and report the current incident secretly.

In reality, Lu Ze thought too much.

Generally, ordinary people will only care about their own lives first while facing such a situation-let alone these people from the underground forces…

The wind dragged them to Lu Ze.

Simultaneously, Lu Ze stopped the [Mental Force God Art] to prevent the two from being directly killed by the severe pain. After all, he had a first-hand experience with this kind of pain. Even he couldn't stand it for a long period of time, much less these guys.

Lu Ze was rather soft-hearted. After the pain in the minds of the two people was diminished, their green faces finally managed to slowly recover, but they were still pale.

At the same time, their brains finally had the space to think about other matters.

When they saw Lu Ze smiling and looking at them, their hearts spasmed. Their eyes were filled with shock.

Just now, they were still discussing him. Unexpectedly, he appeared before them.

Was he following behind them the whole time?

Upon thinking about this possibility, the handsome man trembled while his eyes widened, and he looked at Lu Ze. "You were following Jian Wen and Chris the moment you saw them??"

The bulky man, whose face was shaking with fear, also looked at Lu Ze in disbelief after he heard the words. "Those two old guys didn't show anything dubious. How could you follow them?"

They were watching those two. According to what they knew, Lu Ze and Lin Ling were friends with Jian Wen and Chris. It was completely normal for the two to visit their families after work. How could they be suspicious?

Lu Ze smiled. "Do you want to know?"

The two looked at Lu Ze as they waited for him to reply.

Lu Ze grinned. "I won't tell you."

In truth, he only felt a strange space ripple from Jian Wen, and their reactions seemed abnormal. That was the reason why he chose to observe the professors.

If they were really going home, then everything would be fine. However, they said they were short on time, and yet, they went walking around the city all day. This made Lu Ze suspicious.

Naturally, he had to follow them until the end.

The two didn't know what to say.

Lu Ze grinned. "Well, is it a pleasant surprise to see me? There will be more surprises waiting for you."

Hearing this, the two looked at Lu Ze with terror and vigilance. Thereafter, the handsome man took a deep breath and pointed at Lu Ze. "What do you want?"

On the other hand, the bulky man slowly recovered. "If you let us go, we will tell you everything we know!"

Lu Ze was taken aback by his offer. He glanced at the two with a weird expression. They surrendered quickly enough. He smiled and said, "Hear me out first. I'm just going to kill one of you, and I'll be taking the other one with me to your base. Do you like it?"

The two, who had just recovered their calmness, became stunned after hearing Lu Ze's words. This was a surprise, but this wasn't right. Shouldn't he try to get the words out of them first?

Why was he going to kill one straight up first?

Moreover, he said he was going to their base?

He should have heard that there were two palace lords there.

Was he going to commit suicide?

Or…

Upon looking at Lu Ze, the two felt panicked and petrified. Was he confident he could take on the two palace lords?

How was that possible?!

Lu Ze smiled at the two. He wanted to get more information out of them, but even if they said anything now, he wouldn't dare to believe it. He didn't have a [lie-detecting God Art]. How could he know whether they were lying?

The two glanced at each other and fell into silence.

Subsequently, the bulky man sneered and looked at Lu Ze in contempt. "You can ask Tianyu! We are good brothers. Either leave both of us or kill both of us!"

Lu Ze glanced at him in shock. He didn't realize these two had such a relationship.

What to do?

Should he kill both?

But then, he wouldn't know the address of the base. Unexpectedly, the two of them cared for each other. It seemed that he would have to leave one here first and let the other take him to base.

While thinking about this, Lu Ze smiled. "In that case…"

Suddenly, the handsome man spoke before Lu Ze could finish. "Leave me alive. Bobby is simple-minded. He is useless. If you want to enter the base, I can help you get inside!"

Lu Ze: "…"

Bobby looked at the handsome man with disbelief.

"???"

In an instant, the atmosphere turned awkward.
