Chapter 501: Exile, Sentenced to Death

~6 min read 1,103 words

In the endless starry sky, Zhang Jie piloted the ship, charging nonstop toward the distance.

This was his last body; he dared not pause even a moment, knowing someone was relentlessly pursuing him.

As long as he escapes, he can extract his consciousness through the bodily link, no longer at the mercy of the other side, preserving the green hills without fear of running out of firewood.

If he keeps fleeing like this, it's not a bad option; at least by buying some time, human females and the Abyss will find a way to save themselves.

But it's clear he cannot escape this disaster.

Chen, a human who had transformed himself into a ship-life, possessed formidable combat power; his hull was likely a gigantic warship, perhaps even larger.

"Damn! If I'd known, I would have just become an AI!"

Zhang Jie regretted not having transformed himself earlier, but unfortunately, the pursuers behind had already caught up and swiftly intercepted him.

That is a terrifyingly massive satellite-class battleship!!!

Is it not.... that serious?

This is your last body, right?

The sound was transmitted via Zhang Jie's ship's audio receiver.

What exactly do you want to do?

You can't tell? I'm here to take revenge on you.

I will overturn the Iron Law, overturn the Abyss, and you as well!!!

His muttering, like a madman's, blended chaos with hints of clarity—this person truly is mad.

I have no need to chitchat with you now.

Later, I will slowly communicate with you.

A high-energy beam burst instantly; Zhang Jie sighed, slowly closed his eyes, and the escape plan ultimately failed.

Before being engulfed by the scorching beam, Zhang Jie seemed to hear a mournful cry from the signal reception station.

No!!!!!!

It was Xiao Jiu.....

Why.... why is it always just a little short!!!!

The beast's six scarlet eyes glowed red, fixedly staring at the walnut-sized sphere before it.

She angrily opened her massive jaws; the sphere, incapable of any resistance, was simply chewed up like a peanut.

Xiao Jiu was Zhang Jie's most powerful weapon, but unfortunately she never managed to catch up, even though she had exerted all her strength.

Has Chen died? That's impossible; who said it must be Chen? It could be some ship-life, and Chen sent a signal to Zhang Jie through its body.

But in any case, the real Chen is now right before the real Zhang Jie.

"Yo, great inventor."

If you have something to say, say it quickly; otherwise....

You'll then have no chance.

Zhang Jie slowly lifted his head, gazing at the frivolous young man before him.

I recall I haven't offended you.

That's naturally not the case, but you aren't also a part of some plan?

Zhang Jie frowned, wondering if this person was referring to.... the Extraterrestrial Entity project?

That project.... is actually quite good in itself.

Unfortunately.... tsk tsk tsk, although it was indeed originally devised to solve the entropy disaster.

So what? Even if I am, what does that have to do with you attacking me?

Hah.

Chen let out a short, soft snort, his unfathomable eyes fixed on Zhang Jie.

Come on, I'm a madman.

What I want to do, is it any of your business?

Zhang Jie:.......

Zhang Jie: 6

There's nothing to say, but this jerk.... clearly doesn't want to tell himself.

Amid the madness lies a clear logic; in a sense, Zhang Jie is the softest persimmon among those he intends to deal with.

So? Kill me?

Ah, no no no, how could that be.

Chen smiled, but Zhang Jie, looking at his smile, only felt a chill down his spine.

I want to exile you to a place nobody knows.

A primitive planet that has not yet formed any civilization.

For a genius like you, to see your immensely proud knowledge be useless, only able to spend the latter half of your life resentfully turning to dust—wouldn't that be the most tormenting?

Psycho...

This damn thing is meant to torment him—dumping him on a primitive planet with no civilization, not even any raw iron, for a lifetime; for an ordinary scientist, that's already a death sentence.

But standing before you is the hand‑built ship‑person! Unfazed by radiation! Zhang Jie, who spent over a decade scavenging junk on the wasteland!

That really is..... cruel.

Zhang Jie curled his lip in a cold smile; if that were all, he wouldn't need long to escape that planet, and then the guy before him would face more than mere impeachment.

It seems you're quite confident.

Believe me, you will never be able to escape this place....

At this time, Zhang Jie still did not know what he was facing, and as the ship slowly descended, Zhang Jie, with shackles on his hands, was pushed out of the hatch.

What came into view was a verdant green meadow, far better than that Garbage Star by who knows how many times.

Watching the ship behind him rise and depart, Zhang Jie once again surveyed the world before him, a primordial planet teeming with life.

Huh, unexpectedly exiled.

Well... let's get started.

Zhang Jie rolled up his sleeves, intending to go all out, but actually all he needed was to rig up a simple device to connect to the Star Net, then he could call someone to pick him up; however, at that moment the Nightmare sounded in his mind.

Zhang Jie, here.... there is very strong electromagnetic interference; we probably cannot connect to the Star Net.

Zhang Jie's hand, ready to scoop mud, froze; well, this started off with a big problem for him.

But it's fine; if he can't connect to the Star Net, he'll just cobble together a ship and fly out himself!

Can a person even die from holding in urine?

Now he has a second-level gene lock, top-tier vitality from the Extraterrestrial Entity project, and extensive hands-on experience; what does he have to fear?

Speed-running this planet is nothing but a breeze!

Until he saw that huge beast behind him....

Only then did he realize that this planet's gravity is abnormally light....

'Damn it! Don't just stand there!!!'

Zhang Jie took off running; he knew this madman wouldn't let him off easy!

During the time he was away, what he would have to do outside, Zhang Jie could not know.

Even directly announcing his death was possible, and that would be extremely bad....

We must... be quicker!

Zhang Jie had thought his telekinetic ability would be useless later, but at this moment it finally came into use.

And outside, just as he had anticipated, Chen... directly announced his death...
