Chapter 187 - Joint Revenge (1/2)

Grasped in Qin Feng’s hand was a mean-looking hand cannon.

Without hesitation, he switched off its safety mechanism, sending a live round flying toward his intended target. A wide, yellow arc appeared in the sky as it trailed the escaping hover car.

Professor w.a.n.g, who was seated in that very hover car, was wide-eyed at what was going on.

The interior of the hover car was filled with a beeping noise, alarming him that he was being locked on by a projectile. Still, there was nothing he could do to stop the force of the projectile.

Boom!

The projectile smashed into the body of the hover car, which was immediately covered by a bright ball of energy wave.

This light wave was a function that was mandatorily installed in every vehicle headed out for the battlefield. It served two functions. One, to blind enemy ultra beasts and two, to jam or confuse missiles launched at the vehicle from an enemy position.

However, this function would eat up a lot of energy and would not activate if energy reserves were running low for the vehicle.

Without a doubt, this projectile from Qin Feng was specially designated to take down E-tier ultra beasts. Under the control of his consciousness, it was not led astray by the vehicle’s defensive mechanism and smashed through its energy barrier cleanly without suffering much damage itself.

The s.h.i.+mmering white ball in the sky gradually grew dimmer and soon, it turned completely transparent. In a split second, the shock from the explosion, as well as the kinetic energy, delivered by the projectile itself blasted the vehicle out of the sky.

At midnight, the roof of the house was leaking heavily as rain continued pouring from the sky. Suddenly, a loud noise coming from the mountains echoed through the air.

A ma.s.sive shockwave followed the noise.

It was the self-destruct system activated by Professor w.a.n.g moments ago. The entire research facility was vaporised in an instant, suddenly creating a ma.s.sive cavity within the mountain which in turn, had the effects of a large-scale earthquake for nearby lands.

Like a large boulder, Professor w.a.n.g’s hover car rolled down the side of the mountain as it quaked.

Both Bai Li and Qin Feng climbed onto the umbra stallion and immediately made their escape from the ma.s.sive shockwave that was going to hit them if they remained there for a moment longer.

051 did not fear the rumbling ground. Finding a random rock, he floated in mid-air using the power of his consciousness.

The only unfortunate one here was none other than Professor w.a.n.g!

Under Qin Feng’s orders, the umbra stallion galloped over to the hover car’s crash site. It did not take long for them to locate the escaping Professor w.a.n.g.

At this point, the mountain was no longer shaking as it was moments ago. Upon closer inspection, the inside of the vehicle was splattered red all over with the Professor’s blood.

Just one glance was enough to tell them that this Professor w.a.n.g was already dead.

Perhaps this was what they called, “instant karma”.

To be honest Qin Feng originally planned to spare the professor’s life. He had a lot of questions that he hoped the professor would answer himself.

“There’s this too!” Bai Li waved her hand in the air. She was holding a silver-looking b.u.t.ton. No doubt, it was a spatial runic equipment.

“This must be something the guy wanted to bring with him! It’s gotta have something to do with his research. So my attack wasn’t in vain at all, huh?”, Qin Feng muttered to himself. Having stumbled upon this, he had no choice but to take a closer look at what was in store for him.

“So, what do we do now?”

“Why, we leave this place of course! Since there was an explosion, the people living in the closest colony would definitely come investigating to see if a new rift has appeared or to see if an earthquake has happened.”

Qin Feng had Bai Li retrieve their hover car. Both of them climbed onto the vehicle but 051 remained motionless on the ground below.

“Get on!” Qin Feng urged.

“That… how do you even open this thing? This is pretty neat ain’t it!? I’ve never seen such a thing up close before!” 051 shuffled around nervously.

Before being abducted and brought to the laboratory, 051 was just a teenager. Now that five years that were filled with insanity and suicidal tendencies had pa.s.sed, he had finally obtained his long-overdue freedom. Though unfortunate, he was left behind by the progress of technological development.

With each new day that pa.s.sed outside the laboratory, the harder it got for him to accept what tragedy had befallen him.
