Chapter 397: Heading to the Styx

"Don't move. Your body is still too weak; just lie on the bed." Ye Cang stopped the Super Soldier's attempt to sit up.

"Next, I have a few questions I want to ask you. Answer them truthfully."

"Yes! Chief Engineer!" Although their body was very weak, the Super Soldier still tremblingly raised their hand to salute.

Ye Cang returned the salute, then pulled over a chair from the side and sat down.

"First question, why were you infected by Saturn Water? I have already studied it; wearing a Nano Combat Suit and Power Armor makes it impossible to be infected."

"I see you are from the White Tiger Legion. White Tiger is diligent and meticulous in his work; he shouldn't have neglected your training, right?"

"Or were you slacking off during training?"

"Saturn Water?" This was the first time the Super Soldier had heard this term, and they were somewhat confused.

Seeing their confusion, Ye Cang explained, "It is the water on Enceladus. There is a type of virus in that water; this virus parasitizes organisms and turns them into its puppets."

Hearing Ye Cang say that, the Super Soldier suddenly realized.

"Oh, so this thing is called Saturn Water." The Super Soldier suddenly realized, then began to recount how they were parasitized by the Saturn Water.

"It's like this, Chief Engineer."

"After we landed on Enceladus, we began to detect the resources available on Enceladus."

"Our landing site was that basin. While we were setting up equipment, clear water suddenly gushed out from the surface."

"I wanted to take a sample, but before I could, an Angel reached out and touched the clear water, and then she was parasitized by this Saturn Water."

"But at the beginning of being parasitized, she didn't have any abnormalities... she..."

Ye Cang suddenly spoke, interrupting the Super Soldier's words.

"Wait a moment, the Angel wasn't wearing Power Armor?"

The Super Soldier nodded.

"She was wearing it, but they felt it was too cumbersome, so they took it off once they reached Enceladus."

Cumbersome...

That is truly a niche word for an Angel.

At the current stage, only a very small number of Angels are First Generation Angels; most are Second Generation.

In other words, they are Second Generation Super Soldiers. With the strength of a Second Generation Super Soldier, they call Power Armor cumbersome?

Furthermore, the Power Armor worn by Angels is specially customized. You could say it is heavy, but it is definitely not cumbersome!

"Continue." Ye Cang coldly ordered the Super Soldier to continue, while inwardly calculating the matter of training the Angels.

The Super Soldier continued, "At first, after they were parasitized, there were no abnormalities in their appearance."

"They just kept using various means to make us take off our armor. In the end, we took off the Power Armor, and then we were infected, and after that... I don't know anything else."

After listening to the Super Soldier's account, Ye Cang did not have much of a reaction.

He just patted the Super Soldier on the shoulder.

"Alright, I know. Rest well; we'll talk about anything else after you've recovered."

The Super Soldier had wanted to take the initiative to admit their mistake, but after being patted by Ye Cang, their eyelids immediately became heavy. Before they could even say a single word, they fell straight asleep.

After they fell asleep, Ye Cang once again woke up the other two Super Soldiers to question them.

After questioning, the answers obtained were all much the same.

Originally, after questioning three soldiers, this matter could basically be defined as the Angels' responsibility.

But Ye Cang did not define it directly; instead, he woke up the other three Angels and questioned them as well.

The final result... was also the same.

It was just that when the Angels recounted the matter, they looked unconvinced.

The implication was clear: they had been ambushed.

If they were to fight for real, whatever Saturn Water it was, it would definitely not be their match.

Regarding this, Ye Cang had nothing to say; he just silently sent a message to Kaisha.

He told her the whole story of this incident and notified her that she must train the Angels well.

Only when the training is done will the Expedition begin!

With the Angels in their current state going on an Expedition, Ye Cang was truly afraid they would capsize in a small ditch.

After resolving this incident.

Ye Cang headed into space; he wanted to realize the plan he had in mind earlier.

That is... to head to the Styx and go see Karl!

Don't overthink it; Ye Cang was not planning to defect, but because he needed some necessary data.

And this data only exists in Karl's Grand Clock, so this trip was mandatory.

It's just that, for this trip, he could not go in the capacity of the Chief Engineer of Huaxia.

If he went in that capacity, it would be purely going to start a war.

He had to change his identity.

And for this identity, Ye Cang had already made up his mind.

That is, a scholar.

In essence, he is indeed a scholar.

It's just that he is not a scholar of the same path as Karl.

He studies the Void.

What he himself studies is Quantum Mechanics.

Before Ye Cang transformed into a Quantum State, he sent a message to the old man.

He told the old man that he would be away for a period of time, 3 to 5 days at the shortest, and a month at the longest, and not to worry about him.

To this, the old man's reply was.

Go out with peace of mind, I will handle everything.

After receiving this reply, Ye Cang transformed into a Quantum State and headed straight for the Mingwangxing Dachongqiao.

Did they think Ye Cang wanted to enter the Styx through the Wormhole Bridge?

No, no, no!

Ye Cang chose another method.

That was to destroy the Wormhole Bridge, making Karl appear and come to pick him up in person.

Two hours later.

Ye Cang arrived in front of the Wormhole Bridge.

He took out his Power Sword and slashed it right at the Wormhole Stability Device.

The next second, Ye Cang felt a resistance, and this resistance was significantly greater than when he slashed it the first time.

Needless to say, this must have been specially set up by Karl, just to prevent him from slashing the wormhole bridge again.

It was a pity that this thing could not stop him at all.

The next second, the Power Sword turned crimson red.

The resistance that had originally made the Power Sword unable to move an inch also vanished without a trace at this moment.

The Wormhole Stability Device was thus easily destroyed by Ye Cang.

As for why the blade turned crimson red, Ye Cang had once studied it himself, but he did not get any reliable results.

So he ignored this matter.

When technology develops further, it won't be too late for him to study it again.

Just after the Wormhole Stability Device was destroyed.

Karl, who was sitting in his great hall writing something, suddenly raised his head.

Then he sighed.

"Ye Cang, you have destroyed my wormhole again."

"You are a person who does not keep his word."

After speaking, Karl stood up and, without even looking at Sinuo standing in the corner, disappeared.

The next second, he appeared in front of Ye Cang, who was preparing to destroy the second Wormhole Stability Device.

Seeing Karl appear.

Ye Cang switched to holding the sword with one hand and used his other hand to greet Karl.

"According to Earth time, um... good evening, Karl."

As the old saying goes, one does not strike a smiling face.

Karl was naturally the same.

Seeing Ye Cang greet him, he also responded.

"Good evening, Chief Engineer of Huaxia, Ye Cang."
