Chapter 132: Surviving the Danger
Chi Wan crawled in the ducts for nearly two days before finally figuring out the entire structure of the Nova Empire Building.
The soldiers of the Imperial Legion also searched for her for two whole days.
Chi Wan relied on her super SSS-rank mental power to sense nearby movements in advance, barely managing to evade capture time and time again.
But through eavesdropping, she also learned many inside secrets of this Elysium.
For example, the food sent down was the leftovers that the people above had deliberately left for six or seven days. Sometimes, they would intentionally throw away high-quality food and mix it with rotten food that nobody would eat.
For example, women died in Nova’s Pet Courtyard every day, the number uncertain.
However, after hiding for two days, the upper management seemed to have grown angry and began a larger-scale search for her. Even probe robots were deployed en masse.
This severely restricted Chi Wan’s next move.
She lay in the cramped and narrow duct. After two continuous days of crawling on her elbows and knees, even with clothing wrapped around them, her skin had been scraped bloody. But she couldn’t feel it at all; her mind was completely preoccupied with worrying about her next course of action.
The memory of her final night down below, surrounded by human Polluted Entities, resurfaced in her mind.
Polluted Entities didn’t need sleep. The human Polluted Entities, who were supposed to be wandering alone in the night, gathered in increasing numbers.
They just looked at her.
It made her momentarily forget to cry.
One of the human Polluted Entities was missing an arm, and his neck was twisted from being broken. He made a difficult sound:
“Why… why did you come so late today… to kill…”
Chi Wan understood what he was trying to ask and answered truthfully:
“I had to work today. Starting tomorrow, I won’t be here anymore.”
They didn’t speak, just quietly watched her with those eerie, pitch-black pupils in the night.
She didn’t speak either. She killed Polluted Entities for an entire night, and when dawn was approaching, she threw some edible food to them and said her goodbyes.
But before she had taken a few steps, she heard the voices of more Polluted Entities.
Some said goodbye to her, while others asked if she would come back.
There was one voice she remembered most clearly.
He said, “If you encounter difficulties… we can help you…”
Those words gave her a little support.
She had already decided that coming up this time wasn’t to find a way to leave.
The note she left for Tang Lian, and its final sentence, were just to give him peace of mind.
If she died, they could just assume she had successfully escaped.
After planting a large number of interstellar explosive bombs in several ducts, Chi Wan began climbing toward the supply level she had scouted earlier.
The supply level was located on the ground floor and in the underground cold storage. Nova’s supplies were astonishingly abundant. Unfortunately, military armaments were not kept in this building; only food and similar supplies were found in this grand structure.
Halfway up, Chi Wan pressed the button for the first explosive bomb.
The distant explosion alarmed almost all the guards, and they all received orders to assemble and rush toward the upper floors.
The corridors emptied significantly, and Chi Wan’s speed increased!
When she reached the third floor, she jumped straight down from the ventilation duct and sprinted toward the resource area.
With the highly manageable Viper 6-88 manifesting in her palm, Chi Wan moved like the wind.
“Who’s there?!”
The soldiers in gold combat suits heard the commotion and ran over, all instantly shot dead by Chi Wan.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Her marksmanship was fast, accurate, and ruthless. The agility she had honed through months of combat made her invincible at this moment.
At the same time, Chi Wan pressed the button for the second explosive bomb.
The golden building suffered another massive explosion, this time in the middle and upper floors.
Almost most of the soldiers rushed up to find the culprit.
Meanwhile, Chi Wan, who had already sprinted to the supply point, quickly threw a large number of smoke bombs. At the same time, her Super SSS-rank mental power and energy burst wide open!
In the smoke, they couldn’t see her, but she could clearly sense everything from an ultra-long distance.
Killing her way right to the outside of the supply doors, Chi Wan took the optical computer of the last fallen high-ranking official and aimed it at the scanner.
“Beep—”
“Identity verified successfully. Opening doors—”
A massive amount of supplies in the ultra-large cold storage appeared in Chi Wan’s line of sight!
[Oh my god, so much! These people couldn’t finish eating this in several lifetimes!]
Amidst the System’s shocked exclamation, Chi Wan quickly dashed forward!
Her spatial dimension could collect items within a ten-meter radius without physical contact. Sprinting in like this, she collected as she walked.
Piles of water, food, and fruits and vegetables vanished in an instant!
Then Chi Wan moved to the second floor.
The second floor also held food resources, including many instant meals and interstellar-developed military rations that could be preserved for years.
She emptied it all!
The first floor contained a large amount of daily necessities.
After collecting everything, when Chi Wan rushed outside the doors of the first basement level, she pressed the button for the third explosive bomb.
But when she tried to use the high-ranking official’s optical computer to open the basement doors, she found it was invalid.
It seemed he didn’t have access rights.
It had to be even more important supplies.
She immediately decided to force an explosion.
The explosive bombs she bought from the Alliance with contribution points were top-tier, capable of penetrating the hardest materials in the galaxy. Increasing the dosage shouldn’t be a problem.
Chi Wan planted the bombs, quickly hid far away, and pressed the button.
The massive roar made her eardrums ache. Chi Wan peeked out from behind cover and quickly ran over.
Beneath the collapsed building wall, glittering gold Star Coins piled up, filling the entire first basement level.
Unlike the silver Star Coins and paper currency of the ALP Galaxy, the ELN’s Star Coins were gold, and their paper currency only differed in printing.
Chi Wan immediately jumped down and began collecting!
Her spatial dimension was infinite and could store all these supplies without leaving a single one behind!
[So satisfying! But Host, be careful, they are heading this way!]
To save time, Chi Wan collected the boxes directly. After taking the last ten boxes, she threw a large number of explosive bombs and then sprinted upward!
“There’s an intruder, down in the basement. Quickly!”
“Catch him!”
Smoke bombs were thrown out in large numbers, and Chi Wan fired her smoke gun wildly in all directions, completely obscuring the visibility of the entire underground supply room.
Immediately after, she dashed out of the basement doors!
Just as she successfully ran into the tunnel, she pressed all the buttons for the final explosives and the basement bombs!
The explosions thundered, causing even the towering golden building to tremble slightly.
“She’s over there, catch her!”
“It’s actually a woman. Damn it, grab her!”
Batches of soldiers flew toward Chi Wan on rapidly moving platforms.
Chi Wan threw a large number of smoke bombs to block their vision. Then, her silver energy surged, wrapping around the blue-green ion bullets of the Viper 6-88 as she fired frantically!
The bullets hit the golden floor, blasting countless fragments into the air.
The soldiers on the leading platforms were blasted away by the fierce firepower. Chi Wan jumped onto a platform and flew straight toward the exit!
“Stop her!”
“Open fire directly!”
Large cannons aimed straight at her. The moment she flew out of the building, the Viper 6-88 in Chi Wan’s hand vanished, replaced by a grappling hook gun. She aimed at the wall and fired the hook, which embedded deeply into the structure, then pulled tight!
It yanked her violently forward!
Her petite body glided rapidly through the air, and she stored all the firearms of those shooting at her from below into her spatial dimension!
The soldiers, finding their weapons suddenly missing mid-shot, stared in absolute shock.
[More and more soldiers are coming, Host. There are also combat airships!]
Chi Wan looked back. A mechanical army was flying rapidly toward her, like a swarm of locusts.
Her heart tightened, but she had long prepared for the worst and didn’t feel despair.
Quickly jumping onto a magnetic levitation platform, Chi Wan flew straight ahead!
[Run, Host!]
“She’s trying to escape. Don’t let her get away!”
“Hah, where can she run? Going to the Filth Realm is a dead end.”
The highest-ranking military officer didn’t take Chi Wan seriously:
“She blew up so many buildings and has the ability to make things vanish. Capture her alive! She must endure brutal torture and spit out everything she took from us!”
Seeing that the surrounding airships were so numerous they were about to surround her.
[It’s over, it’s over…]
Amidst the System’s anxious voice, Chi Wan’s small face was grave. After urgently considering several countermeasures, she still felt that playing along was the most suitable option right now. She jumped off the platform, and several soldiers immediately stepped forward, grabbed her, and bound her hands tightly.
“Take her to the Military Building. The Emperor is furious and wants to interrogate her personally!”
