Chapter 582: Request for Connection

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mei Wu felt unusually calm. She understood the severity of her situation. Panic would only hasten her death. She never stopped shooting with her laser gun. The weapon made by the emotionless young man, Ye Chong, was powerful. She had gotten used to this weapon by now.

A quick mental calculation told her how many energy crystals she had left in her backpack. Mei Wu sighed. She would probably die here, today. She did not feel scared or panicked. Instead, she felt relieved, as though she had put down a heavy burden.

Suddenly, she thought of Sun Sieha and the times they shared together. A mesmerizing smile appeared on her pale face. The bloody chaos in front of her faded into the distance.

Who was that? Mei Wu sensed the presence of other humans, and quickly jolted awake from her reverie. She felt disgust towards herself. How could she be thinking of him at this time? She was an idiot! Mei Wu regained her calm and hardened herself again!

She carefully maintained her shooting rhythm as she reached out with her parapsychic waves.

There were three people! Two men and a woman.

They were fast! Mei Wu "saw" the woman jump 300 meters down from a cliff, and thought she was dreaming.

The young man carried an old man on his back and leaped down the cliff just as easily. Mei Wu was shocked.

These two people were strong, especially the woman in white. Mei Wu had never seen anyone like them. As a woman herself, Mei Wu knew that members of her sex were born physically weaker. It was after she reached Level 9 that she understood the importance of physical strength. Hence, she began to train her body.

These two people had far surpassed her in this regard.

Something else surprised Mei Wu - when her parapsychic wave reached the woman, she had looked up at her! Were they shooters? If so, where were their guns?

An even bigger issue presented itself - were they here to help her?

Sang Kan was familiar with this kind of situation. He leaped his way forward between the rocks on the cliffs. The spiral patterned wooden spear in his hand struck quickly, killing an animal with every attack.

His moves were simple and efficient. Sang Kan always hit the weak spots of these wild animals. It was obvious that he was experienced in fighting against wild animals. After all, he had never seen the animals here before.

Rui Bing followed closely behind Sang Kan. She did not deploy Guardian yet. The terrain was too complicated, and there were too many animals around them. Guardian's vision would be severely affected. The myriad of white lines and numerous statistics in her vision would have been more troublesome than helpful.

Sang Kan leaped up high in the air. A horned tyrasaur saw him, and jumped towards him as well. Its sharp teeth dripped with saliva that smelled of rot. Its eyes glowed viciously. Sang Kan reacted immediately. He bent his legs just in time to avoid getting bitten, and then kicked hard on the head of the horned tyrasaur.

Every member of the Sang Tribe was just as strong as Ye Chong. When Sang Kan kicked, the horned tyrasaur's brain cracked open, and blood gushed out.

The horned tyrasaur crashed heavily into the ground, and was quickly stepped over by the other animals behind it. The animal was stomped into a bloody mush.

Rui Bing's white training garb stood out among the wild animals. She treaded lightly among the animals like a white butterfly.

The trio headed straight towards the crack. They could only save the woman by being there. Sang Kan and Rui Bing reached the entrance to the crack soon enough.

Mei Wu did not hesitate. She turned her laser gun to the side, leaving a small gap in the opening enough for one person to pass trough. It was obvious that these three people were here to help her. This was encouraging news to Mei Wu. With their help, she might just survive this.

A horned tyrasaur saw the opening and went for the crack.

Suddenly, a sharp wooden spearhead went through its throat. Its body convulsed as it eyes turned dim. The wooden spearhead vanished, and the horned tyrasaur slumped to the ground like a puppet with its string cut. Sang Kan carried Aried and slipped into the crack, quick as a fox. Poor Aried had never seen battle like this. His aging face was now pale as a sheet.

Rui Bing followed swiftly.

"Who are you?" Rui Bing asked with five parts gratitude, three parts watchfulness and two parts admiration.

"Sang Kan." "Rui Bing." Sang Kan and Rui Bing introduced themselves briefly. They knew that it was important to establish trust quickly. "Aried …" Aried spoke shakily.

"Mei Wu is grateful for your help. Your assistance will be repaid," Mei Wu said solemnly as she continued to shoot at the animals.

"Let's get this over with first." Sang Kan did not trust Mei Wu's words so readily. He said plainly, "Begin by telling us what is happening right now."

"I don't know." Mei Wu smiled bitterly as she continued firing. "The natural order in Darkniss was disrupted recently. Many wild animals started moving towards the inner parts of Darkniss, while the animals that lived deeper inside started to move outwards."

Darkniss. Rui Bing and Sang Kan exchanged a look. They finally knew where they were, even though the name did not ring a bell. They looked at Aried, who shook his head too, indicating that he did not know the name.

"This is huge stampede. Think, did you do anything? Or did you take something?" Sang Kan asked calmly. He knew animals. A stampede as huge as this must be for a reason. Besides, these wild animals were clearly focusing their hostility on this woman.

"You think I did something?" Mei Wu's expression turned sour. No one dared to talk to her like this before.

Sang Kan ignored her indignation. He threw a cold look at Mei Wu. "I know about animals. They wouldn't treat you like this if not to avenge for something. Besides, all the animals are focusing on just you. There must a reason behind this."

Sang Kan continued, ignoring Mei Wu's look. "No need to glare at me. I'm just telling you what I know. If you don't care for your life, we won't bother to save you." Mei Wu's expression became unreadable. Sang Kan smiled coldly and added, "Don't try anything funny, or I'll kill you."

The Sang Tribe were never a people of kindness and generosity. Their leader, Ye Chong, was also a man who believed in only strength. Hence, members of the Sang Tribe were easily influenced by Ye Chong's way of doing things.

Mei Wu's chest tightened. She understood the warning directed towards her. The young man was cold and ready to kill, but the woman in white beside him was unreadable. Mei Wu could not figure her out.

Suddenly, a commotion started in the stampede, interrupting their exchange. The animals turned even crazier as they began to force their way into the crack without care for their lives.

The pressure on Mei Wu increased. One of the animals was able to breach her defense line.

Sang Kan darted forward and struck his wooden spear into the creature.

Rui Bing summoned Guardian and stepped into the fight. The situation quickly got out of control, to everyone's surprise.

The battle turned bloody. Rui Bing and Sang Kan stepped in pools of blood. Inside the crack, the air had the stench of blood. The animals behaved even more crazily, perhaps due to the scent of blood.

In just a short moment, the crack's entrance was piled up high with animal bodies. Rui Bing and Sang Kan had to climb up the body pile to fight the animals. Mei Wu's gun was out. She had only one last piece of energy crystal left. Now, she could only watch quietly as Rui Bing and Sang Kan fought.

Mei Wu's retreat from the battle put more pressure on Rui Bing and Sang Kan. Sang Kan thought it was crazy that his wooden spear was still intact so far. The Sang Family had long battled against wild animals, and now Sang Kan used all the moves and strategies he learned to fight. His inhuman strength allowed him to easily stab into the flesh of these wild animals.

On the other hand, the woman struck fast but without much killing intent. Mei Wu found it difficult to believe that something like Guardian existed. Rui Bing wielded her two sharp daggers impressively.

Rui Bing focused on the battle. She had fought enemies as strong as these animals before. Compared to that fight against the Blue Crown Serpents, she had Guardian this time, which made it easier for her.

Rumble! The ground shook. Rui Bing quickly took a few steps back. The pile of animals bodies they were stepping on suddenly collapsed. The animals outside were pushing the bodies away. The four humans inside the crack inhaled sharply at the turn of events.

Rui Bing was so focused on the battle that she did not see a blinking light in the top right corner of her vision. It was a hailing signal.

…

The armor for the warship's hull was almost complete. The amount of metal alloy it took to build the armor was staggering. Ye Chong had used up all the rare metals he dug up from a few mineral reserves just for these armor plates. Any piece of armor plate used on the hull could sell for a sky high price in the Five Galaxies of the He Yue Galaxy. This must be the most luxurious and expensive warship armor in the world. However, it also had the best defensive properties.

Ye Chong had done the experiments. Even a ship cannon would need at least 10 shots on the exact same location to breach the hull armor.

Once the hull armor was installed, the general shape of the entire warship was visible to everyone who could see it. The 10-kilometer ship length was decided based on the Sabre, the first luxury class Slan grade starship Ye Chong had ever seen. Back then, Ye Chong was so greatly impressed by the magnificence of the Sabre. Now, his people were feeling the same thing. They gaped and stared at the massive being, unable to believe their eyes.

The ship was massive even when seen in outer space, much less on land. It was an impressive and staggering view.

Suddenly, Ye Chong's comm device rang.

Ye Chong connected the device. His expression turned serious, and he rushed inside the stronghold.

Ever since the pulse signal relay tower was set up, Ye Chong organized a comms room just for it. Students in the comms room were responsible for connecting to and receiving information from the Hummingbirds.

"What happened?" Ye Chong entered the comms room and asked without preamble.

The students quickly stood up in greeting. "We identified an unknown signal carrier and tried to establish contact with it. However, the other party has not responded so far" After a long period of training, the students now behaved more professionally.

"Unknown signal carrier?" Ye Chong's eyes widened. He had used public, unencrypted signals for his pulsed signal relay tower. This was because no one else in this world would use pulsed signals. As long as a device was fitted with a comms device, it would automatically search for pulsed signals in the surroundings, especially public ones. However, connection can only be established when both parties agreed to it.

Ye Chong asked in a low voice, "Can you get their location?"

"Exact location is unknown, but we have a general estimate. It's much deeper inside than the furthest we have been." A student replied.

Who could this signal carrier be? Was it from the He Yue Galaxy or the Five Galaxies? Was it from a starship or a mech?

"Keep requesting for a connection." Ye Chong gave the order without delay.

"Yes sir." The student replied. Everyone in the room could see that their commander placed great importance on this unknown signal carrier.

Ye Chong sat inside the comms room without expression. He stared unblinkingly at the connection request displayed on the holographic screen.

"Request for connection … Request for connection …"
