Chapter 390: Water of Saturn

~7 min read 1,215 words

Opening the communication, the Super Soldier's urgent voice reached Ye Cang's ears.

"Chief Engineer!"

"We are on Enceladus, under attack by an unknown object. The Angel in my group is currently unconscious and suffering from violent convulsions."

"Suspected life-threatening situation, requesting support!"

"Report your coordinates immediately! I will have the Xuanwu Legion send support!"

But the Super Soldier refused Ye Cang.

"No, it cannot be the Xuanwu Legion. You must provide support yourself. Up to this point, we haven't even figured out what the enemy is."

"So the Xuanwu Legion coming would be useless; only you, Chief Engineer, can handle this personally."

The Super Soldier's words left Ye Cang slightly surprised.

The Super Soldiers who could join the Solar System transformation project, aside from their combat power, each possessed a vast store of knowledge.

One could say they were capable in both civil and military affairs, able to handle the parlor, and handle the..., no, that's off-topic.

In short, it seemed that the only things that could trouble them were indeed things only he could solve.

"I am coming immediately. Give me the coordinates right now."

After replying, Ye Cang looked at Kaisha.

"There is a problem on Enceladus; let's go take a look."

Kaisha nodded.

She then took Ye Cang's hand, flapped her wings, and flew toward Enceladus.

5 minutes later.

Ye Cang and Kaisha had arrived at the coordinates sent by the Super Soldier.

But after arriving here.

Ye Cang only saw a vast, deep-gray basin; he did not see any traces of the Super Soldier or the Angel.

After observing carefully, Ye Cang finally saw two inconspicuous footprints.

Aside from that, there were no other traces.

"Hey, hey, I have arrived at the coordinates. Where are you now?"

Ye Cang called out to that Super Soldier, yet no matter how he called, no more information from that Super Soldier came through the communication platform.

"Something happened." Ye Cang reacted immediately, drew his Power Sword, stood back-to-back with Kaisha, and vigilantly scanned his surroundings.

Compared to Ye Cang's vigilance, Kaisha was somewhat nonchalant.

"Don't be so nervous."

"In this Solar System, only Earth has nurtured life; no other planet has life. I think the distress call just now might have been them falling into some bottomless abyss and getting seriously injured."

"Their brains might be a bit rattled from the fall, which is why the coordinates were a bit off. They are probably unconscious now, which is why they didn't return your message."

Ye Cang did not respond to Kaisha, only letting Zhizi begin searching for traces of the Super Soldier and the Angel.

However, the moment the order was given.

The communication from that Super Soldier actually came through the communication channel.

After opening the communication, the Super Soldier's voice came out.

"Chief Engineer, we did not get the coordinates wrong. We are right there; we are everywhere!"

"We will appear immediately!"

The voice fell.

The ground beneath the two began to shake violently; it was undoubtedly an earthquake.

As the earthquake intensified, dense, crisscrossing giant cracks began to appear in the basin.

Each crack was bottomless and could easily swallow an adult.

Seeing this, Ye Cang and Kaisha immediately took off and flew into mid-air.

"What the hell!" Looking at the crack-filled basin, Ye Cang frowned deeply.

Now it was certain that the Super Soldier was no longer himself; his consciousness must have been controlled by something, which was why he said those things.

But what they were controlled by was another question.

"Kaisha, put on your Power Armor," Ye Cang instructed.

Yes, the female Angels now had their own Power Armor, and these suits were specially customized.

Kaisha, however, refused Ye Cang.

"It's fine."

"How powerful could a lifeform on a satellite be? I don't believe it could be stronger than Morgana!"

After speaking, Kaisha took out a long sword forged from Dark Su Silver, with no intention of wearing Power Armor at all.

This made Ye Cang's expression turn gloomy.

Arrogance and conceit, underestimating the enemy.

These were old habits of the Angels. It seemed the last fall only made Kaisha remember for a while; now that 5 years had passed, she had forgotten it all again.

"Kaisha, put on the Power Armor! Do not make me repeat the same thing a third time, do you understand!"

Ye Cang's tone was cold, leaving no room for negotiation.

Kaisha knew that Ye Cang was angry.

Only then did she reluctantly put on the Power Armor.

The moment Kaisha put on the Power Armor, a surge of clear water suddenly gushed out from the cracks in the basin.

In the blink of an eye, the empty basin was filled with clear water.

Once the basin was filled, the clear water rose from the ground to form a wave, rushing straight at Ye Cang and Kaisha.

Without time to think, Ye Cang and Kaisha immediately rose higher, attempting to dodge the wave.

But Kaisha's ascent was a step too slow.

A few drops of water still struck her Power Armor.

The next second, Kaisha's surprised voice rang out.

"Ye Cang, look quickly, this water is not right!"

"This water is actually searching for cracks on my Power Armor; it seems to want to drill inside. This is a bit absurd!"

Ye Cang turned his head to look.

Just as Kaisha said, the few drops of water remaining on her Power Armor were rapidly squirming on her body, as if searching for something.

Very quickly, these few drops of water found a gap at a joint in the Power Armor.

The next second, these few drops of water attempted to drill inside, but did not succeed, because underneath the Power Armor was the Nano Combat Suit.

And the characteristic of the Nano Combat Suit is to isolate all external adverse factors, so those few drops of water naturally could not drill inside.

Only after discovering they could not enter did these few drops of water continue searching for the next gap.

Kaisha, having already understood what was going on, immediately took out a canister and collected these few drops of water into it.

Afterward, she looked toward the massive lake in the basin.

"Ye Cang, it looks like this water is not right! They seem to have self-awareness!"

Ye Cang did not speak, however, only staring fixedly at the lake below.

He was thinking.

Could it be that this water is the thing controlling the Super Soldiers and Angels?

But this doesn't make sense.

Angels and Super Soldiers both have their own Power Armor, and underneath the Power Armor is the Nano Combat Suit.

They simply cannot invade.

If they cannot even invade, then naturally there is no such thing as controlling consciousness.

But they...

Thinking to this point, the second wave appeared; this wave was higher than the previous one, just enough to cover himself and Kaisha.

This time, Ye Cang did not choose to dodge.

Instead, he took the canister from Kaisha and, with one reach, scooped up a full canister of water.

He wanted to take some samples back to see what on earth these things were.

And just after Ye Cang finished collecting the samples.

Zhizi's voice rang out, bringing the true location of the Super Soldiers and Angels.
