Chapter 15: yer (Part 1/2)


    “Rumble rumble. Rumble rumble.”


    Luo Nan heard clearly a roaring sound simr to water boiling.


    In fact, over half of the ming clouds that pervaded the corridor was actually boiling. Crimson air bubbles amassed and pressed together to bulge, swell, and burst. It looked like an undergroundke ofva at first nce.


    But from the burning wraith’s perspective, these thick foaming bubbles of life and death were more like a powerful detergent; a boiling can had just been brought out.


    A terrifying roar stimted the spores. But the spores were immediately annihted upon contact with the boiling ming clouds. Even the forces that were already in effect, such as the deste mes that surround the wraith’s body, received heavy interference.


    A maelstrom was forming in the void right at this moment. Three type of mes, whether it be the burning wraith’s, the Deep Blue Walker’s, or what the soldiers had released, were drawn into the maelstrom. There were no further reactions.


    Although things were this way, the burning wraith itself still wouldn’t be considered to have fallen into a disadvantage. But the problem was, who would engage in a one versus one fight aboard this military transport ship with you?


    A “Bang!” rang out muffled. Suddenly a blue glow burst forth from a room within the corridor. An imposing figure charged thrusting out. It was actually another Deep Blue Walker.


    This Deep Blue Walker had clearly pushed itself to its limits in order to link up with the other Deep Blue Walker. It was far more intrepid than the first, throwing itself directly into the fray. The alloy dagger shed horizontally, and upon that dagger was the same translucent flickering of the Format of Fire.


    “What precision!”


    Luo Nan had been suspicious whether this “yer” possessed the ability to directly sense the Darksider life form. However the direction of its de was actually aimed straight at the burning wraith’s vicinity, and it was practically dead center.


    The burning wraith’s response was a bit slow. Perhaps it was due to the distance between the two being far too close. Or perhaps itcked the feeling of crisis from a material attack. Its body only blurred when the knife was just about to hit its body as it tried to dodge.


    In the end it was still toote. The edge shed across. The outer surroundingyer of deste mes were fine, but the inneryer of the void-like shadow wraith was not. Luo Nan could see a nk-white long scar formed from the direct sh.


    That one sh was able to cut the void!


    On Luo Nan’s side, the burning wraith sent back a sudden mess of information. Then it exploded out with ruthless power.


    The burning wraith had already been provoked to its vicious nature; now it no longer listened to Luo Nan’smands. It no longer restrained itself fromunching Siege Hammers as it directly attacked out.


    The Format of Fire that guarded the yer’s body suddenly darkened. The body was still flying through the air when it had lost control, crashing into the metal wall of the long corridor and leaving several dents into the hard metal.


    Quite a few people screamed in rm.


    But the several-hundred-kilogram-heavy exoskeleton armor rebounded back from the collision. The glow of the protective mes darkened even further while the mes upon its dagger seemed to congeal with substance.


    And another sh shed out from the soaring body.


    “Damn!”


    Luo Nan cursed darkly. This sh appeared to be deviate quite a bit from the previous attack, only sweeping the surroundings of the burning wraith. However that tyrannical and fierce determination already converged and intertwined with the Format of Fire to directly attack the inner core of the burning wraith.


    These two consecutive attacks, most notably thest one, directly knocked the burning wrath’s response system into disorder; it went paralyzed on the spot.


    Although this thing appeared to have a ferocity that flooded the heavens, as expected what it feared the most was those who possess the absolute staunch and unyielding determination to face off against it. It had been tamed by Luo Nan just before. Now it had been stunned by a de. These things were possible because of its fear.


    Naturally, the yer wasn’t in a good condition as well. After that de shed forth, the yer smashed directly to the ground sliding. Then it collided to the corner of a wall and was motionless.


    “PERSONNEL DOWN!”


    And at this very moment, the first Deep Blue Walker that had entered the scene shouted an order loudly. At the same time he had a moment’s chance to manipte the Format of Fire to cause the ming clouds that had been rendered with vigor to spiral and close in from eight sides; he sought to crush and kill the burning wraith.


    But perhaps the chaotic situation in the long corridor caused apprehension to grow in his heart. The enclosement of the vortex of ming clouds wasn’t especially tight. A certain issue emerged based on the position of the burning wraith.


    And just in time, Luo Nan exerted some stimtion upon the burning wraith and forced the wraith to awaken from it’s stunned state. The wraith was unable to retaliate with anything further; it directly transformed into a rainbow ray and broke through the weakest part of the ming clouds. Then came another escape attempt. It directly passed through the bodies of some rich kids and entered the lower deck of the warship.


    The central AI’s decision processes were still sharp and prompt. But the copsed rich kids in the corridor acted as a human shield, causing difficulty for the AI to execute follow-up procedures. The AI could only order the organization of a second wave of attacks to intercept the wraith.


    The very first Deep Blue Walker who had entered the scene shook his head. He had no intentions to chase after the wraith. He unhitched his sealed helmet to expose a handsome and cold face. It was none other than Yan Yongbo.


    Right now the medics went to check out the unknown life-or-death state of the yer on this floor. But before they could touch the yer, the yer suddenly flipped and got up. The yer pushed aside the medics and immediately smashed the ground heavily with a fist, venting the resentment and hate within the mind.


    Yan Yongbo walked towards the yer with a grave and stern face the whole time. Then he exposed a never-before-seen smile as he reached out a hand towards the yer: “Captain He. The most important thing is to maintain control of your mood when facing the Darksider life form. Besides, you’ve already done the best you could just then.......”


    “I know just how clearly matters went myself.”


    The yer absolutely refused Yan Yongbo’s act of goodwill. The yer growled coldly in a low voice and then used the armor’s power system to get up and began to calibrate the armor.


    “Captain He......”


    The translucent facete of the yer’s helmet twisted over to direct at Yan Yongbo: “The quality elite of Quantum Corporation are worthy of our trust. I hope you will continue with our mutual cooperation in order to reduce unnecessary mistakes...... I really value this time when we cooperated together.”


    Yan Yongbo chuckled: “Well that’s natural.”


    The yer turned around and walked ahead with Yan Yongbo following behind. He carefully appreciated the special hint of femininity within the low scratchy voice. At the same time he pondered the yer’s words, deciding if there were other meanings behind them.


    He lowered his head several secondster; he gave his subordinates a reminder using thepany’smon frequency channel: “The strength of the target is powerful. Everyone. The number one objective is to coordinate with the military’s operation...... Heister, I especially mean you. Don’t rush forward like an impatient child. First assist the military.”


    Heister responded simple-mindedly: “Understood. I’ll keep watch.”


    Having received set wartime procedures, all non-militarymunication channels were to be screened and be monitored. No random chatter were allowed as well.


    Yan Yongbo’s words soon attracted the warnings of themand. However since the words did not contain sensitive information, and since they corresponded with the instructions given by the military to Quantum Corporation, the warning was just a mere formality.


    Only two people, Yan Yonbo and Heister, understood the true meaning of the words clearly:


    “Put the operation on pause. Change the surveince target.”


    Yan Yongbo’s thoughts wandered around while his head was down: Today is quite the fortunate day. I actually and unexpectedly got a chance to meet and interact with Captain He. Whenpared to this koi that could at any time leap through the dragon’s gate and be a dragon, the malnourished cub of the Luo Family could have his surveince released for now.


    There were numerous methods to search the background of a small kid. But today’s lucky opportunity was something that could onlye once. It didn’t matter how; he just needed to leave a good impression in Captain He’s eyes.


    Yep. It wouldn’t be much to exert a bit of extra effort.
