Chapter 358: Chapter 335 End or Beginning II

Ten minutes later, Lin Fei walked out from the black cube.

The man in the golden robe took the initiative to meet her.

"Ma’am, I have inquired about some information. In three days, after everyone has rested up, the new recruits’ competition will begin. Anyone who does not wish to participate can now exchange for the Red Armor epaulettes to raise their rank. From now on, we can enter the teleportation vortex, we can choose to stay in the main city for three days, or return and come back after the three days. There is a teleportation formation within the city that directly reaches Elisa’s Gate at the Temple of the Gods."

"We should not use the positioning teleportation now; the main city is filled with experts, it is best to go through the teleportation formation to Elisa’s Gate to return. But with only three days’ time, forget it, I will stay and familiarize myself with the Main City of the Pantheon," Lin Fei instructed.

"All right."

Outer World

Night, 21:25

Military airport in New York, United States

The heavy rain poured down, the wind turning the raindrops into a 45-degree slant, battering the runway fiercely.

In the light of the airport control tower, a small plane slowly landed.

The plane glided slowly until it came to a complete stop.

Some white ambulances that had been waiting for a while drove over proactively. A milky-white connecting chamber was attached from the ambulance to the opened hatch of the plane, and a few workers dressed in white full-body lab suits came out shouting something.

Cheng Guang got off the plane under an umbrella with a calm expression on her face, watching as Lin You and the others on stretchers covered with white plastic cloths were quickly carried into the white vehicles.

A tall Caucasian man in black American military uniform approached her under a black umbrella. He wore a white military cap and had several medals on his chest, his expression stern.

"You have done well. Your father is currently waiting for you at the nearby Base 15. Ham, take her there!"

"Yes, sir!"

A black soldier nearby saluted. "Follow me."

Cheng Guang’s expression relaxed.

"Finally... it’s over..." She turned back for a last look at the white ambulance.

In the forests surrounding the base, a group of shadows approached rapidly and silently.

The leader occasionally looked at a device in his hand.

"Confirmed, the target has been transferred here, the signal source is inside. Our task is to intercept the carrier of the signal source," he said.

"You’re wrong." A figure stepped out from behind a tree trunk.

Ye Yuhua’s expression was cold, wearing a white dress. "Your task is to cooperate with my actions. Sea Serpent Squad."

"We belong to different systems, without superior orders, we can’t possibly cooperate with you," the leading shadow said in a deep voice.

"Is that the same for a failed task?" Ye Yuhua said indifferently. "The opponent is the Nicholas Family; our oversight allowed the target to be abducted by a Psychic with spatial ability. And there’s the involvement of the American military..."

"No need for your concern," the shadow interrupted.

"Then, let’s operate independently," Ye Yuhua snorted coldly and disappeared into the darkness.

Arlington Town, Washington District, United States

The Pentagon

Bang!!

"General Kevin!" Nicholas’s face was grim, "What do you mean by that?"

Sitting opposite at the round table was a middle-aged man dressed in a black military uniform who was squinting his eyes, not even glancing at the gloomy-faced Nicholas in front of him.

"All your people have been evacuated from Base 15, haven’t they?"

A woman in military uniform at his side handed over a document.

Kevin took it and began to read it carefully.

"Regarding Base 15, Nicholas, this is how your Project Cheng Guang ends, I take it," said Kevin.

"Kevin!" The silver crosses in Nicholas’s eyes began to gleam subtly. "If you don’t give me an explanation, I won’t hesitate to resort to extreme measures. You know I always mean what I say!"

"Explanation?" Kevin looked at him with disdain. "Who are you to ask for explanations? Making a contribution to the great United States of America is your duty! Nicholas, this issue has been pushed down from above; not just the Nicholas Family but all of you combined would not make any difference."

"Ha ha ha ha..." Nicholas laughed darkly. "Kevin, do you really think I’m just an ordinary Clan Leader?" His fingers extended rapidly, growing sharp nails.

Kevin scoffed. "Do you think I’m just an ordinary general?" A hazy mist slowly emanated from him. His aura was in no way inferior to the other’s.

The female soldier’s face changed slightly and she quickly left the room.

Nicholas’s countenance shifted.

Kevin began to laugh coldly: "A mere B-rank Psychic daring to openly defy Lord Griffin’s order. Considering our years of friendship, I’ve already warned you many times."

Nicholas glared at Kevin with a dark look, as if seeing his longtime friend for the first time. "Base 15, the culmination of my family’s entire efforts; did you think I have no contingency in place?"

"Contingency?" Kevin laughed scornfully. "Do you think you can use it? This is the Department of Defense, the highest security command center of America. Did you think we would be without a corresponding countermeasure? For any actions you might take, we have developed no less than hundreds of strategies to ensure absolute security."

"What about a self-destruct?" Nicholas asked darkly.

"Let’s just consider it a fireworks show," Kevin said, unyielding. "Nicholas, you don’t stand a chance. Why not join us? Do you really think you can resist the entirety of the United States? What significance could a mere Base 15 have under the power of our superior?"

"Lord Griffin... why have I never heard the name you mentioned?"

"Maybe you know another name, Titan," Kevin said calmly.

Nicholas’ pupils shrank. A chill suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart.

"Titan... too bad it’s too late... The base’s self-destruct program has already been activated..."

Kevin’s expression changed.

**************

"This is the place. You’ll need to go in alone," the black soldier Ham shrugged. "This is one of the abandoned bases run by the Nicholas Family, which even we in the military were not authorized to enter willy-nilly. I can only take you this far. The personnel inside evacuated just yesterday afternoon, so the power should still be on. Take care of yourself."

Cheng Guang nodded, "I understand. Thank you."

"Well then, goodbye." The black soldier turned and quickly disappeared into the forest surrounding the base.

Only leaving Cheng Guang standing alone at the dark entrance of the base. Clenching her fists tightly, she took out her cellphone, turned the screen on for light, and briskly walked in. The faint glow seemed all the more isolated in the darkness.

***************

In the Inner World, before the black vortex

Lin Feipeng sat calmly on the open ground dozens of meters away from the huge black vortex.

"The Nicholas Family... finally made their move."

"Everything is within the master’s plan," Yuan Yicheng’s voice echoed in Lin Fei’s mind. "The secret of the Holy Spirit’s Blood will soon be revealed."

"Be sure not to harm Lin You, as well as those around her. If anything unexpected happened to her companion, she would surely be heartbroken," Lin Fei recalled the outburst Lin You had once had in a hotel, where the image of her holding her knees, face stained with tears, lingered long in his memory. "Even just a hired mercenary would be this heartbroken, so kind..." For some reason, he felt a sour taste in his heart. He looked up slightly; the huge black vortex continuously emitted an endless stream of black aura.

"How are things on Griffin’s end?"

"All is normal. The preparations are complete."

"I am getting more and more excited, the Holy Spirit’s Blood..." Lin Fei stood up.

"However, my lord, despite our smooth operation, there has been an unexpected mishap..."

"An unexpected mishap?" Lin Fei was taken aback.

***********************

Step by step, Cheng Guang walked toward the central laboratory. Inside the huge blue glass cylinder, that familiar figure floated quietly.

"Father..." A relieved smile spread across her face, "I succeeded, they said they would release you. Things like the Energy Scepter have nothing to do with us at all..."

"Cheng Guang..." Xilan slowly opened his eyes.

"Father..." Cheng Guang quickly searched the control panel, finding the contact button and pressing the release.

The blue liquid instantly began to drain rapidly.

Hisss!

The glass lid slowly opened.

She hurried over to support Xilan.

"Cheng Guang... It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you..." Xilan smiled weakly, half lying on the ground.

Cheng Guang reached out to support him. Suddenly, a strong smell of blood spread. Cheng Guang paused slightly. She slowly reached out her hand, which was covered with crimson blood, and her pupils shrank instantly.

"Father... why are you so sticky... You really need a good wash..." she said with a smile.

"Cheng Guang..." Xilan looked at her with a smile, "I... I’m not going to make it..."

"You need to get dressed and go home, Father, you’re so dirty..." Cheng Guang took off her coat and draped it over Xilan.

"Cheng Guang..." A hint of distress flickered in Xilan’s eyes as spurts of fresh blood gushed from beneath him.

"Father... let’s go home together..." She smiled and smiled, as tears slid down her cheeks.

More and more blood covered her hands.

"What Energy Scepter, it won’t bother us anymore, I’ll tell you, I’ve made a lot and lots of money, I’ve hidden it in a secret place, after this job we won’t have to work again, we won’t have to... I’ll go to school, go to college, didn’t you want to buy a yacht? And get lots and lots of beautiful women... and... and..."

Whoosh!

Dark red blood splattered all over the ground.

Xilan slowly stretched out his hand trying to reach Cheng Guang, but it weakly fell back down...

"Father... we promised... to always be together..." Cheng Guang slowly fell to her knees. Staring blankly, smiling with a face full of tears.

A golden figure slowly emerged behind Cheng Guang. A vast aura of strength instantly spread.

"We promised... we’d go home together..." Cheng Guang’s eyes were wide with a tragic smile. "Promised..." she tightly embraced Xilan’s body, oblivious...

Lin Fei quietly watched her, his eyes glowing with a blue light.

A tiny golden seed slowly appeared in front of him.

"For the strength of revenge..." he murmured, and in a daze, it seemed as if he saw Lin You from a past life. (To be continued. If you like this work, you’re welcome to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets, Monthly Tickets; your support is my greatest motivation.)
