Chapter 112: You Are a Good Person
"Act inside the prison?"
Lin Qing pondered for a moment, then shook his head slightly: "Forget it."
Acting inside the prison was indeed too unwise.
No matter how he disguised himself, he would eventually be suspected.
Unless all who knew were killed, suspicion would surely fall on him.
Moreover, with the prison's intelligent system paralyzed, they would inevitably suspect the aid of an intelligent life form; then, seeing that he, someone from Dr. Chu Hui's underground research institute, was also present, they might even suspect he possessed the Star-Transmitting Tower.
Acting directly inside the prison, no matter how one thought about it, was unwise.
"Anyway, these people pose no threat to me inside the prison." Lin Qing temporarily suppressed this matter in his heart.
That night, inside Cell 1, Zone A of the prison.
"Mr. Bork, I am truly sorry; Lin Qing has refused."
Cheng Cong looked at Mr. Bork, who sat inside the cell like a small mountain of flesh, and bowed apologetically: "Tomorrow, I will surely find him and talk to him properly again."
"No need." Mr. Bork leisurely picked up a piece of chocolate, biting and chewing it as if savoring it, "Tomorrow you will be leaving, right? After leaving the prison, talk to him properly then."
He grabbed another box of wine-filled chocolates. "It is quite normal for native geniuses in such small places to be a bit arrogant; after all, he has never witnessed a truly powerful civilization, nor seen the boundless universe. How do you say it in your language? Sitting in a well looking at the sky? Yes, that is the word."
"Mr. Bork is right," Cheng Cong said respectfully.
"The resources such a genius can enjoy are still quite abundant."
Mr. Bork ate in large mouthfuls. "I have decided on his identity. Through his channel, perhaps there is hope to lift the life-inhibiting substance on me?"
The next morning.
The patrol mission at Broken Stele Prison had ended; after the new task group arrived and the handover was completed, Lin Qing's group could also withdraw.
After taking the submarine back to the airport island near the Cayman Trench, since the next flight back to headquarters was scheduled to take off in five hours, the task group also waited in the airport lounge on the island.
Lin Qing stood by the window of the lounge.
Outside the window, a plane could be seen taxiing along the runway and taking off.
This island, serving as a transit station, could not only lead to the Patrol Headquarters but also to more than a dozen major cities around the world; there was a flight every hour.
"Lin Qing, how is your consideration regarding what I spoke to you about yesterday?" Cheng Cong walked over with a smile, holding a cup of coffee in his hand.
"I have considered it clearly." Lin Qing shook his head slightly, "Let's just forget it."
Cheng Cong sighed and said, "Alright, then it is truly a pity. If you are unwilling, there is nothing to be done; let's just forget it then."
He patted Lin Qing's shoulder, lowered his voice, and said, "You need not feel any psychological burden; just keep our secret for us. After returning, I will transfer one hundred points to you."
【Order Rank decreased by 2.0 levels】
Lin Qing seemed not to see this line of blood-red text and smiled, "Thank you, Group Leader Cheng."
"It is a small matter." Cheng Cong smiled slightly and walked away with his coffee.
Sitting before the table, his eyes suddenly turned cold.
"Then there is no way..."
Cheng Cong casually took out his mobile phone and immediately sent a message that seemed irrelevant.
After a moment—
"Beep! Beep! Beep!"
A piercing alarm suddenly sounded in the silent airport.
Whether the patrols strolling on the nearby beach or those inside the lounge, they all paused slightly at this moment.
Only when the security alert system detected an emergency would it sound such an alarm! Either the airport was under attack, or the monitoring system near the airport had identified dangerous elements or similar situations.
"What is going on?" Cheng Cong frowned and walked out of the lounge.
He saw a ground crew member rushing over, anxiously saying, "We don't know what happened; the leading edges of the wings of two planes have melted, the nearby monitoring has been destroyed, the security alert system judged it to be an attack, so it sounded the alarm."
"Attack?"
Cheng Cong frowned tightly and immediately took out his work phone, issuing the emergency assembly command for the task group.
Soon, the patrols of this task group had all gathered.
Cheng Cong led the task group to carefully inspect the damage to the planes and the destruction of the monitoring, forming a rough conclusion.
"It should be a long-range attack similar to a laser beam; otherwise, the monitoring system would not have been unable to react in time."
Cheng Cong frowned and said, "But the global monitoring established by the Zhixing Group on the moon showed no reaction; it should not be a high-tech weapon. Then it must be a laser beam formed by a living body, with destructive power roughly at the Third Energy Level."
Among the patrols present, most had also seen the Gene Optimization Project.
Among the D-Class High-Energy Evolution Radiation, there was the 'Laser Eye' enhancement, which allowed a person to release laser beam attacks with their naked eyes.
However, the power of this laser was relatively weak; even for a physique that had only cultivated the original Morning Sun Cultivation Method, it would require continuous irradiation for more than 0.5 seconds to cause sufficient damage.
0.5 seconds, for someone at the Patrol Leader level, how incredibly long was that? One could dodge with a mere movement; it would be very difficult to keep the laser irradiating the same spot for 0.5 seconds. Even if targeting the eyes, wearing proper goggles could form an effective barrier.
But the advantage lay in the long-range attack and the suddenness of the speed of light, making it very suitable for actions involving the destruction of electronic equipment.
"Even in this weather, the attack range of Laser Eye generally does not exceed one kilometer."
Cheng Cong said in a low voice, "The enemy must still be on this island. Immediately disperse and search in all directions! Pay special attention to searching the seaside; perhaps there are escape vehicles."
"Yes."
The group of patrols immediately dispersed in different directions according to the most efficient plan intelligently generated on their phones.
After putting on a pair of goggles, Lin Qing also sprinted out of the airport.
This island was not small either, covering hundreds of square kilometers; searching it was not easy. Even with the patrols' speed being fast enough, it would take at least half an hour or more.
"Morning Light, help me find a blind spot in the monitoring."
After leaving the airport, Lin Qing said in a low voice.
"There are many places on this island that the surveillance cannot cover," Chen Guang said. "Three hundred meters ahead and to your left, there is a surveillance-free zone."
"Very good."
Lin Qing showed a faint smile, immediately pretended to be searching, slowed his pace, and moved outward along the jungle near the airport on the island.
At the same time, he took out another Black Nest No. 16 and swallowed it in advance.
Not long after.
"Lin Qing."
A figure emerged from behind a large tree ahead; it was none other than Cheng Cong.
"Team Leader?" Lin Qing feigned confusion.
At this moment, a man also walked out from the woods on the right; it was none other than the suspected swapped-in new patrol, 'Gong Leping'.
"Gong Leping?" Lin Qing turned his head slightly to look.
"Heh..."
'Gong Leping' sneered, and his face began to change rapidly; his ears gradually grew larger, and in the blink of an eye, he had transformed into another face.
"You are... the prisoner from Cell No. 1 in Zone B, Lord Yehong?" Lin Qing frowned and said. "Correct."
A smile without warmth appeared on the corner of Lord Yehong's lips; immediately, his form flickered, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared before him at an astonishing speed, stopping five meters away, even creating a sonic boom.
This was movement speed breaking the sound barrier!
"Hmm?" Lin Qing frowned slightly, looking at the other party: "Your speed..."
Lord Yehong's smile deepened.
This was the effect he wanted.
In terms of direct combat strength, although he was only at the level of an ordinary two-star elite patrol, his most proud attribute, speed, was far faster than many two-star elite patrols!
Just this supersonic movement method alone was enough to intimidate a new patrol like this.
"Earthling, you already know our secret."
Lord Yehong looked at Lin Qing with a mocking smile. "You choose yourself: cooperate? Or choose to be crippled by us, and then be forced to cooperate through some means?"
For example, using poison.
Lin Qing frowned and said: "Threatening a headquarters patrol, aren't you afraid of being discovered?"
"Discovered?"
Lord Yehong sneered: "Do you think the Smart Star people would go so far as to offend my Dilanxi civilization for the sake of a native of Earth like you, a future livestock, to severely punish me? Even if I kill you, I will not suffer any severe punishment!"
"Lin Qing." Cheng Cong walked over holding a small silver-gray instrument. "Don't fantasize; the signal in this area has been blocked, so don't even think about calling for help."
He sighed. "Cooperate with us. Being Mr. Brock's substitute is already a good job that others can only envy, isn't it?"
Lord Yehong snorted coldly: "If it weren't for your decent identity as an Earthling genius, a native of a backward civilization like you would never get to touch a big shot like Mr. Brock in your entire life."
Lin Qing looked at Cheng Cong. "A noble alien big shot isn't afraid of being discovered, and you, a headquarters patrol, aren't afraid either?"
"Because I think you will agree."
Cheng Cong shook his head and said: "With such a huge benefit, you, a new patrol, should have no reason to refuse. I am also helping you, my Earth compatriot, isn't it?"
"Earth compatriot?" Lin Qing laughed helplessly. "I suppose I should thank you?"
"No more nonsense."
Lord Yehong said coldly: "Even if you refuse today, Mr. Brock can still come out. At that time, he will still be able to assume your identity and accept everything of yours."
"Lin Qing." Cheng Cong sighed. "I really don't want to lay a hand on my Earth compatriot."
The two of them were not worried at all that Lin Qing could escape.
He was just a new patrol who had not yet awakened his genes; even if he mastered the original 'Free Body', there was still a significant gap compared to a one-star patrol! Not to mention, the strength of the two of them was close to that of a two-star elite patrol! For Earthlings, before gene awakening, unless they sold themselves to the Smart Star Group, it was almost impossible to become a two-star elite patrol.
Working together, the two of them could surround and kill this new patrol in the blink of an eye!
Lin Qing stood silently in place, then suddenly said: "Team Leader Cheng, you want to be a good person, don't you?"
"Hmm?"
Cheng Cong looked at him, and a bad feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
Just at this instant—
A flash of pale green light suddenly appeared.
In an instant, Lin Qing had already turned into a streak of pale green light and disappeared from Cheng Cong's sight.
Immediately, Cheng Cong felt his body suddenly become light.
The next moment, he found his head detaching from his body and falling toward the ground; his brain tried to issue commands to let his hands catch his head, but the connection had already been severed.
A look of unparalleled panic appeared in Cheng Cong's eyes.
At the same time, Lord Yehong on the side finally reacted.
In his pupils, which reflected that pale green trajectory, a shock arose; he looked at Lin Qing in disbelief: "You..."
And Lin Qing reached out and grabbed the falling head of Cheng Cong, holding it in his hand.
"Team Leader Cheng."
He said softly: "Good people should have good rewards; I will give you a quick death."
As he spoke, an invisible force in Lin Qing's hand shook, instantly turning Cheng Cong's brain into mush.
Immediately, he casually tossed it aside as if throwing away trash.
"Are you an Earthling?" Lord Yehong took a deep breath, still maintaining his calm. "It seems I misjudged; no wonder you refused to cooperate; you are actually a genius of this level?"
"Hmm?"
Lin Qing looked at him, while feeling the Black Nest No. 16 potion he had taken in advance begin to take effect, causing the energy in his body to recover rapidly.
"Lin Qing, right?" Lord Yehong slowly revealed a smile. "I, Lord Yehong Nuoan, apologize for my previous words. A genius like you, who can dig out the bloodline to its extreme, is a truly precious talent even in my Dilanxi civilization. As for a Cheng Cong, you can kill him if you want."
He smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you are unwilling to cooperate; don't take it to heart. Now... I sincerely invite you to join my Dilanxi civilization; I wonder if you would be willing to consider it?"
"Inviting me?" Lin Qing looked at him.
Lord Yehong smiled and said, "When the envoy of my Dilanxi Civilization arrives on Earth in the future, I am willing to introduce you, provided you join my Dilanxi Civilization. In the future, you will certainly receive treatment hundreds or even thousands of times better than now!"
"Lin Qing."
Chen Guang's voice sounded in Lin Qing's mind: "He has already guessed that you have unearthed all the abilities of the third energy level of the Sky Track Monarch bloodline. He must truly be tempted. As the introducer, he will gain no small benefit when the time comes."
"Oh?" Lin Qing looked at Lord Yehong and spoke, "I still do not know what will happen to Earth in five years."
"You, such a genius, actually do not know?" Lord Yehong said, "This is your Earth Civilization's protection period before connecting with the starry sky. Once the time is up, it will officially connect with the universe and the starry sky."
"Why do you say we will become livestock?" Lin Qing frowned and asked.
"This involves the laws of the universe civilization; I cannot explain it to you well right now."
Lord Yehong shook his head slightly. "Now is not the time to explain, is it? If you agree, I will help you make things clear to Mr. Boke. Otherwise, Mr. Boke will sooner or later replace someone else to come out, and he will still come looking for you then."
Lin Qing pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "It seems you are also a good person."
"Hmm?"
Lord Yehong's expression changed.
In the next instant, cyan light flashed forth again.
That terrifyingly fast streak of light passed through his side in an instant, and the speed he prided himself on at this moment was like a joke; he could not even react in time! At this moment, he had no time to dodge, nor time to activate his Laser Eyes or any other ability; the only thing he could do was one thing—activate his strongest defense!
At the same time, the cyan streak of light had already appeared behind Lord Yehong.
As the light dissipated, the instant Lin Qing revealed his true form, cyan light burst forth from his pupils, his muscles swelled rapidly, and faint streaks of lightning flickered all over his body!
Enhancement!
Giant Strength!
Divine Speed! In this instant, a palm strike poured with all his strength, carrying invisible sharpness, slashed across Lord Yehong's neck!
"Pfft!"
Blood sprayed forth, and a fine head rolled off!
Lin Qing's figure shifted; he stepped on that head, looking down at those eyes still lingering with fear, and slowly curled a smile at the corner of his mouth: "Great figure from the alien world, you are the first person to make me exert my full strength."
Thanks to the Silver Alliance of Nuanyang Ju for writing a bit more tonight to add an extra chapter! (End of Chapter)
