Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Half an hour ago…

After confirming that there were no mistakes, the security personnel in charge of the search walked out from the equipment control center. Just as they were about to return to the central point to gather, Mo Chu suddenly asked, “Is the equipment control center over here?”

“That’s right.” The security personnel nodded and looked at Mo Chu with some doubt. “Is there a problem?”

“… No.” Mo Chu thought about it and felt that something was wrong, but she could not explain it. In the end, she shook her head. “It’s nothing. Sorry to trouble you.”

“It’s nothing.” The security guard checked Area C carefully again. After confirming that there was nothing strange, he turned around and left.

Mo Chu sat on the spot. The more she thought about it, the more the strange feeling in her heart grew…

Although she specialized in plant cultivation, her brother and many of his friends were all experts in the mecha department. Usually, Mo Chu had seen them practice and assemble on their own.

Just like the starship, mecha also had a control equipment center.

Mo Chu vaguely remembered her brother mentioning that the equipment center would normally not have any problems. Even if there was an emergency situation, they only needed to modify the data… Then why did those few staff members push a cart full of repair equipment in?

Logically speaking, those repair equipment would not be useful at all!

Mo Chu could not help but frown. She had a feeling that there was something wrong with those few staff members…

Her gaze fell on the pastries on the table. Mo Chu suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Regardless of whether there was a problem or not, it would be clear if she took a look personally, right?

Picking up the pastries on the table, Mo Chu walked towards the equipment center behind her. The three security guards who were secretly protecting her also followed behind her…

Knock knock–

Mo Chu knocked on the door.

A reply was soon heard from inside, “… Who is it? Wait!”

In less than half a minute, the door to the equipment center was opened, and a staff member stood at the door and looked at Mo Chu with slight surprise. “Hello, May I ask if there’s anything I can help you with?”

“No.” Mo Chu’s gaze swept around the room. When she saw that the two staff members were busy revising the data and there was nothing strange about the situation, she felt relieved. It seemed that she had really thought too much just now!

“Umm… you guys have been busy for so long. Eat something and rest for a while.” As she said that, she handed the pastry plate in her hand to the front.

The staff member was stunned for a moment before the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. He stretched out his hand to take it. “Thank you. The taste of this mixed fruit crispy must be very good.”

Hearing that, Mo Chu’s eyes flashed and she replied with a smile, “Is… is that so? Then you guys must have good taste… You guys take your time. I’ll go back first.”

Turning around, Mo Chu’s footsteps were as calm and indifferent as before.

However, her heart was filled with waves — there must be something wrong with these workers!

This mixed fruit crisp was a new product that she had just developed recently, and it was not sold in the market at all. How could this person say the name of the pastry name so easily and act so normally?

Other than carefully investigating her, Mo Chu could not think of any other explanation!

After walking for more than ten steps, Mo Chu slightly raised her wrist, wanting to take the opportunity to send a message to Ning Yiyuan. Behind her, a slightly arrogant male voice made all the blood in her body freeze instantly. “Xiao Liu, look, you really gave yourself away!”

Mo Chu’s footsteps paused, then she immediately increased her speed and suddenly ran forward!

As she ran, he also raised the terminal on his wrist, wanting to send a message to Ning Yiyuan. In the end, she was surprised to find that… the signal here was actually blocked!

Damn it, when did this happen?

She didn’t even notice it before!

“Catch her! Don’t let them escape!”

The footsteps behind him suddenly became urgent, and an awe-inspiring attack instantly rose!

Mo Chu gritted her teeth. She did not have the time to scold herself for being careless, and could only run forward with all her might!

Suddenly, there was a gunshot!

A corpse fell to the ground with a muffled thud.

Mo Chu’s footsteps paused for a moment. subconsciously, she turned around to take a look. The expression on her face changed instantly. Only then did she realize that three security guards had appeared out of thin air behind her. No… There were only two security guards left now. This must be the personal protection that Ning Yiyuan had arranged for them!

“Miss Mo Chu, leave quickly!”

The remaining two security guards protected her, and they retreated while moving. Their expressions were very grave.

Those who could be specially selected by Ning Yiyuan were naturally not much weaker, but the other party’s offensive power was even more frightening!

In terms of special abilities, they had an advantage of three to two. What’s more, towards the end, they even took out all sorts of heavy weapons and equipment. The security guard from before had been killed by them with an energy gun.

Their big movements naturally attracted the attention of Chen Baizun and the others. They soon realized that the signal near Area C was blocked.

Therefore, one person went out to report the news, while the others turned back and prepared to fight.

The two groups of people soon met…

The battle line was pulled apart, and blood and tension were on the verge of breaking out!

The scene that followed became chaotic. All kinds of special abilities and weapons interweaved together, and the sound of a bang and a heartbeat sounded together!

In order to stop the person who had come to deliver the message, the man in the lead relied on his bizarre body movements and precise spear techniques to swiftly break through their human wall, before dashing forward.

As for the remaining two people, they chose to pin them down.

Mo Chu and the others had lost the initiative from the very start. Furthermore, they were lacking in terms of weapons. Although they were barely able to equalize the strength of both sides with their numbers… After a long period of time, it was ultimately not a good strategy.

This situation became even more obvious when the man behind them returned.

The man in the lead attacked very swiftly. He was adhering to the principle of ‘to catch a thief, first catch the leader’ He directly launched an attack at Mo Chu.

Mo Chu was not as powerless as they had thought. On the contrary, Mo Chu relied on her nimble body and abundant special abilities. For a time, this person was completely unable to do anything to her. Furthermore, Roundy had been protecting Mo Chu the entire time. Roundy did not give the man any chance to take advantage of her.

Of course, this was also because they did not dare to use weapons to directly harm Mo Chu.

As time passed, the danger of them being found became greater. The man in the lead simply let go of the target, Mo Chu, and turned to attack Exalted Chen Bai. His attacks became increasingly fierce.

Chen Bai had been focusing on normal plants for the past few years. He did not pay much attention to the cultivation of special abilities. Although his abilities were not bad, he was still quite rusty. After exchanging more than ten moves with this man in front of him, he gradually showed signs of losing.

The security guards and Mo Chu wanted to help him, but they were held back by the other two men and could not escape at all…

A few minutes later, Chen Bai was caught by the man in the lead, and the energy gun in his hand was aimed at Chen Bai’s temple.

“Stop!” the man suddenly shouted coldly, and a wicked smile appeared on his lips. “Otherwise, I can’t guarantee what will happen to Chen Bai…”

All he had to do now was press the button lightly, and the energy beam from the energy gun would pierce through Exalted Chen Bai’s head. Blood will splatter everywhere, and there was no way to save him…

Everyone could not help but fall silent.

They put down their hands and stopped attacking and counterattacking.

The leading man escorted Chen Bai into the equipment control center. The remaining men smiled when they saw this. After dealing with the other security personnel, they brought Mo Chu and Roundy inside.

“Big Brother, they’re here.”

A man suddenly fiddled with the buttons in the equipment control center. The display clearly showed that Ning Yiyuan and the others were walking toward Area C with a group of people…

“They’re pretty fast!” The leading man sat on a chair with his legs crossed on the table. He glanced at Mo Chu and the others and said softly, “Take out the drug.”

“Yes.” A man took out an ordinary small box from the cart that was filled with tools. When he opened it, there were actually quite a few bottles of drugs inside.

“Give it to them.” The man curled the corners of his lips slightly. When he met Mo Chu’s gaze, he smiled and explained, “Don’t worry, it’s not poison. It’s just that it will temporarily make your special abilities disappear. Your entire body will be weak!”

If not, he would really be worried that these two people would suddenly attack them.

“Oh right, there’s also this little fellow.” The man’s gaze was fixed on Roundy. “Don’t forget to give it a shot as well!”

He would not repeat the mistake he made back then…

Although Roundy was unwilling, it did not do anything for the sake of Mo Chu’s safety. It was injected, and it was so painful that its small eyes were red. It had always been the only one to hit others, and this was the first time it was being hit instead.

“Alright.” The man raised his eyebrows. “Now we just have to wait for them to find us!”
