Chapter 46: Not Just Purification
Chi Che in the seat chuckled lightly. He didn’t look at Qi Ye, but looked at Chi Wan with smiling eyes:
“Who does Guide Chi Wan want to follow?”
Qi Ye was also looking at her seriously.
He saw her turn her back to him, looking at the person inside the car, and without thinking: “Follow you.”
Sixteen outside the car understood.
Under the Stasis ability, the car door was forcefully closed by Sixteen.
Although this frozen time was only an instant, it separated Qi Ye and Chi Wan in the blink of an eye.
When time returned to normal, only cold bulletproof glass remained in front of Qi Ye.
Hei Mi in the back was dumbfounded:
“Holy crap, what kind of god-tier ability is that?”
Sixteen just smiled and nodded:
“Can’t compare to an SSS-rank Sentinel’s ability. Just showing off my meager skill.”
Facing his reflection in the bulletproof glass, Qi Ye withdrew his gaze, no longer insisting, and turned to leave.
Light armored vehicles drove out of the Alliance one after another.
Nine from C3 Base, six from Chi Che’s group.
In the sky, a combat airship was flying back.
“Reporting to Commander Qi, the eighth wave of blind bombing in Exploration Zone 0312 has ended. No aerial pollution entities found. Exploration can begin.”
“Roger.”
Inside the car, star screens projected the specific content of this exploration zone simultaneously.
—
Accompanied by a mechanical male voice broadcast.
[Exploration Zone 0312, 37 kilometers from the Alliance.
Estimated Pollution Level: 5.
Originally a residential area and Haiming Trade City of Planet A-73. Estimated Material Value: Level 6.
Exploration Zone 0312 has been intensively blind-bombed eight times in total. Internal structures are severely damaged. Sentinels, please pay attention to personal safety and return safely.]
“Pollution Level 5, Material Value Level 6. Looks like a decent exploration zone no matter how you look at it.”
Inside the cabin, Sixteen’s eyes were profound:
“But estimates for exploration zones are never accurate enough. I hope this exploration goes smoothly.”
…
The convoy soon arrived at the periphery of Exploration Zone 0312.
Under the pollution fog, no one could see the scene ahead clearly, relying only on the Sentinels’ extremely strong perception to scout the path.
“Why did the convoy stop?”
Sixteen pushed open the bulletproof glass to look outside.
A Sentinel ran over quickly:
“They said they’ll scout the path first and asked us to wait here for a moment.”
Sixteen nodded. He sat back in his seat and looked at Chi Che opposite him:
“Young Master, this C3 Base’s style is rare.”
Actually not letting them charge, but scouting the path themselves.
Chi Che propped his head up, shaking his head slightly:
“I’m afraid it’s not for us.”
A few minutes later, Hei Mi’s voice came from the star screen:
“This is the Deputy Commander of C3 Base. The surface of the exploration zone ahead is severely damaged, and the environment is eerily quiet. Suggest everyone disembark and enter on foot.”
Chi Wan followed Sixteen out of the car. The ground on the periphery of Exploration Zone 0312 also had many cracks. Looking up, large winding fissures extended forward, leading to the unknown.
Sixteen turned sideways: “Guide Chi Wan, follow me. If there’s danger, I will protect you immediately.”
Chi Wan nodded.
The main force moved into Exploration Zone 0312 in an orderly manner. The team formed a cluster formation, neither too dense nor too dispersed, conducive to responding to sudden dangers in time.
Upon entering Exploration Zone 0312, the sight was full of devastation.
Large fissures were bottomless, and high-rise buildings had all turned into waste soil.
But as Hei Mi said, the environment was eerily quiet.
“Not a single pollution entity? Were they all bombed to death?”
“I don’t know. Such an exploration zone is indeed rare.”
Amidst the Sentinels’ whispered discussions.
Chi Che, in front of Sixteen, suddenly stopped.
With his simple action, Sixteen’s expression instantly became serious: “Everyone halt!”
At the same time, a shout from a C3 Base Sentinel came from ahead:
“Movement on the ground! Everyone watch your feet!”
Chi Wan instantly felt every cell in her body seemingly trembling. She looked down at her feet; the stones and dust on the ground suddenly vibrated violently, like fiercely beating musical notes!
All Sentinels raised their weapons in a defensive state, and Chi Wan and other Guides also quickly constructed mental barriers.
The next second, Chi Wan felt as if all her internal organs were falling downward. The ground began to cave in, and the vibrating stones smashed ruthlessly into the earth.
“Gravity out of control. There are high-level Gravity ability pollution entities underground.”
As soon as Sixteen finished speaking, giant black snakes several meters wide extended out from the bottomless fissures!
Hiss hiss hiss—!
Hiss hiss hiss—!
Densely packed, like pillars reaching into the sky.
The oppression was extremely strong.
Bang bang bang—!
Bang bang bang—!
Bang bang bang—!
Sentinels immediately formed a circle and opened fire!
Interstellar blaster guns fired small stray bullets penetrating the giant snakes at their seven-inch vital points, but it didn’t slow them down in the slightest!
As the nearest giant snake attacked, Sixteen quickly released his ability.
Under Stasis, he carried a light cannon and bombarded the giant snake’s mouth.
But a second later, the Stasis that should have disappeared continued.
He was slightly startled, but his hands didn’t stop. Finally, after three seconds, the Stasis disappeared.
The snake’s mouth was blown apart, and it retreated in pain.
“It’s Enhancement.”
Chi Che’s voice brought Sixteen back to his senses.
“It seems Guide Chi Wan’s energy can not only purify but also enhance.”
Sixteen was shocked: “To think there’s a Guide with such strong abilities.”
“Enhancement used on the strongest Sentinel will exert the greatest effect.”
Chi Che looked back: “Thirteen, protect Guide Chi Wan.”
From the Sentinel group, a Sentinel with a Roc (Peng Bird) Mental Entity rushed over.
Without Chi Che saying much, he keenly sensed his intent through his eyes and pulled Chi Wan over:
“Guide Chi Wan, follow me!”
The Sentinel’s hand was big and hard. Being yanked so fiercely, Chi Wan felt pain and scrunched up her small face.
“Be gentle.”
Hearing his master’s suddenly stern words, Thirteen realized belatedly:
“So-sorry!”
Time was tight. Seeing Chi Wan’s petite figure, he immediately picked her up and rushed toward the battlefield.
The small person was submerged behind the tall body just like that.
Chi Che frowned slightly.
He shouldn’t have called Thirteen.
He should have called Fourteen, who knew propriety better.
