Chapter 1295

~8 min read 1,458 words

The girl saw the crystal core in Lu Yang's hand and her eyes lit up, but when she noticed the robot gradually regaining mobility, she became alert as if facing a great enemy.

"Not only did the conglomerate send people to hunt me, but they also sent out robots?"

The girl thought to herself, This is bad, I didn't expect the conglomerate to be so thorough, even having the robot lie in ambush here in advance.

Never mind, I'll get the crystal core first and talk later!

The girl was agile, she turned her head to glance at the pursuers behind her, pushed over tables and chairs to block the pursuers' path, and with a few flips came to Lu Yang's side.

She solemnly said to Lu Yang: "I don't know who you are, but the crystal core in your hand is too dangerous..."

"Here."

Lu Yang didn't say a word, shoved the crystal core into the girl's hand, decisively making the girl stare blankly for a moment.

The girl then realized now was not the time to be dazed, and hurriedly checked the crystal core.

"Strange, why isn't it this one?"

I thought that in the library, seeing a crystal core the size of a fingernail cap, it must be the one left by the contact person, but upon checking I found I had mistaken it, it was merely a similar-looking crystal core.

The girl shook her head in disappointment and returned the crystal core to Lu Yang: "This isn't the crystal core I'm looking for."

Lu Yang: "..."

So whose is this thing, exactly?

"Forget the crystal core, how do we deal with the enemies on both sides?" the boy asked anxiously, not knowing if he was talking to himself or to someone else.

At the scene, only Lu Yang was not anxious; the boy and girl were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, to their left was the mobile robot, to their right was the conglomerate's mercenaries, with nowhere to flee.

Moreover, they couldn't flee, the crystal core was nearby, the artificial intelligence and the conglomerate already knew the crystal core was here, if they fled, the crystal core would fall into others' hands, and humanity would be in danger!

They noticed Lu Yang's expression was calm and out of place with the surroundings, they sighed inwardly, an innocent bystander dragged into such a dangerous operation, probably already given up thinking.

The robot and mercenaries dared not act rashly, guns pointed at each other, each mistaking the other for the target's accomplice.

For a moment the scene was in a stalemate.

Suddenly the third wall of the library was blasted open, breaking this brief stalemate, another girl burst in, the girl had blonde hair and blue eyes, her features exquisite like an elf's, she saw the crystal core in Lu Yang's hand and her eyes lit up.

"Found it!"

Behind this girl were also pursuers, only this time the pursuers were living people.

The new pursuers saw the robot and mercenaries, and were startled in their hearts: "Indeed there are reinforcements!"

The new pursuers struck first, raised their guns and fired, the robot and mercenaries simultaneously counterattacked, the scene descended into chaos!

The blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl dodged the hail of bullets in this chaos and found Lu Yang.

"This core..."

"Here."

The blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl checked the crystal core and breathed a sigh of relief: "This is it!"

Lu Yang also breathed a sigh of relief, finally having found the owner of the crystal core.

"As expected, you are the contact person arranged by the doctor!"

The blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl said firmly, she had escaped the organization with the doctor's help, unfortunately the doctor was shot and died while covering her escape, the doctor, before dying, had told her to come to the library to find the crystal core, the doctor's words were cut short as he breathed his last, surely the doctor still wanted to say the library had a contact person.

"Um, Miss, have you mistaken me for someone else? I'm not any contact person." Lu Yang felt he needed to clarify.

"You definitely are, otherwise we've never met, why would you hand over the crystal core to me upon first meeting?" The blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl grew more convinced Lu Yang was the contact person, this was just a simple intelligence test.

"I really am not."

The blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl exclaimed in surprise: "What, isn't it that the professor recorded the organization's illegal genetic modification on this crystal core, then he gave the crystal core to you, to have you meet me, who is a genetic modifier?"

Lu Yang had wanted to stop the blonde girl from blurting things out, but didn't expect the girl to speak as fast as a machine gun, in two or three sentences she laid out the whole story.

"I came to read books." Lu Yang helplessly held up that book about the star map of the universe.

Seeing Lu Yang deny it again and again, the blonde girl realized she had overthought it, and hurriedly apologized: "Ah sorry, I mistook the person, I've dragged you into this disaster!"

"What, it's this book!" The boy noticed the cover of the book Lu Yang was holding, his body trembled, and he had an idea.

"Yeah, how did I not think of it, my grandfather's favorite book to read in his lifetime was this one, he said the universe is infinite, the Star Alliance to the universe is merely a speck in the vast sea, incredibly weak, the Star Alliance should hold the universe in awe."

When I was a child, my grandfather held me on the rooftop and told me the wonders of the universe, when I thought of this childhood scene, I couldn't help but burst into tears.

Not a single word wrong, not a single line off, not a single shot missed, not a single inner thought omitted, not a single thing out of place, not a single one not looked at!

This is something only my grandfather and I know, only I can find the crystal core my grandfather left behind!

The boy took the star map of the universe from the book, pointed to a certain star region, and turned back and forth on the astronomy section bookshelf, muttering: "According to the layout, it should be right here."

The first girl saw the author of the book Lu Yang was holding, and her body trembled.

"How did I not think of it, the author of this book is none other than the alias of our resistance organization's leader."

The first girl took out a mysterious slip of paper from her pocket, this was something she got before coming to the library, and she had always wondered what it was for.

Now she understood, the numbers on the mysterious slip of paper correspond to the page number of this book and which character!

She took Lu Yang's book and hurriedly translated the mysterious slip of paper.

At this moment the three factions were still exchanging fire, gunfire and cannon blasts exploded in their ears, like thunder, the boy and girl raced against time between the bookshelves, searching for their own crystal core.

"Found it!"

The boy and girl both found the crystal core, couldn't help but rejoice, but the gunfire and cannon blasts soon dragged them back to reality.

"How do we escape?" Their danger had not yet been lifted.

The boy proudly showed off the crystal core in his hand: "My grandfather's crystal core contains a virus that can paralyze robots and mechanical bodies, then we can seize the opportunity to escape!"

The bodies of the conglomerate's mercenaries are basically mechanical.

Upon hearing this, the blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl exclaimed in alarm: "That won't work, those hunting me are all genetically modified people, the virus is useless against them!"

The first girl took out a grenade: "I have tear gas grenades, I can catch those genetically modified people off guard!"

"Good idea!"

The boy tore open the skin on his arm, exposing the mechanical arm underneath, he inserted the crystal core into the mechanical arm, tapped the screen a few times, the battle sounds suddenly diminished, it was the robot and mercenaries who had been infected by the virus, leaving the modified people to be beaten at will.

The first-place girl threw out a tear gas bomb, which exploded with a boom, and tear gas smoke filled the air, choking the modified humans so they couldn't open their eyes.

The three boys and girls took the opportunity to escape, weaving through the three factions, thrilling and exciting, and before leaving, they didn't forget to drag in the innocent passerby Lu Yang.
