”Ye, be careful. There is a 0.3 percent concentration of gaseous neurotoxin in the air, and it has a strong knockout effect! Hmm, there are three people unconscious already. I have not found the source of this toxin!” Mu warned Ye Chong.
Ye Chong was surprised. ”A gaseous toxin? Someone released it?”
”Yes. The culprit is unknown, their objective is unknown. However, you’re not in danger, don’t worry!” Mu explained plainly.
Ye Chong had only a hazy idea of the situation. ”Oh, I know that. Yu Di is fully sealed. But, Mu, what do you think happened?”
”While I did not see it happen, I believe the following deductions can be made - the people in need of treatment required a doctor’s services, but they were not welcomed by doctors themselves. Coercion became necessary to make the doctor yield to their request. This is the most likely scenario. However, there is also the possibility of a more complicated and unexpected sequence of events!” Mu replied.
”Aren’t doctors responsible to treat anyone in need?”
”That is basically accurate!”
”Since it’s the same routine of treating someone, then there’s nothing different in treating these people!”
Mu agreed. ”That is so. However, a doctor has the right to choose his patients. This is common knowledge!”
”Right?” Ye Chong was confused.
”Yes. While a person’s rights should ideally not be violated, they will be ignored when those rights were in conflict with another person’s interests! Once a conflict occurs, it’s up to the capabilities of both parties to resolve their differences, the result of which will determine if those rights could be defended!” Mu explained insightfully.
”Hmm, the most important thing is still a person’s capabilities! These rights are ultimately pointless. In the end, it still comes down to a fight!” Ye Chong spoke with contempt.
”That may be true, up to a certain level. However, physical strength is not the most powerful, nor the most dominating. It is only a demonstration of one’s basic capabilities, and is limited in application. The power of social relations and wisdom are more formidable! However, these may be a little too difficult for you now!” Mu stated plainly.
”Oh, is that right? But I think physical strength is the most important part, and easier to make use of!” Ye Chong did not fully agree with the mech.
”Hmm, that’s because you’re not familiar the rules of this society. Using these rules to your advantage will be too hard for you. You’ll have to take it slowly. In this respect, perhaps Shang would be better suited for it!” Mu recommended Shang to Ye Chong!
”Shang? That bastard, I can only hope he stays out of trouble!” The thought of Mu’s alter ego brought a headache to Ye Chong.
Ye Chong and Mu exchanged their thoughts as he maneuvered the mech into the room.
The room was not too large. Yu Di made a wide hole in the wall and entered easily. The people in the room were all unconscious. As for waking them up, Ye Chong had no idea how. He was suddenly reminded of the fact that the mech pilot in the Greenbird he captured had escaped from here, and must have known more about what happened.
The wide opening in the wall coupled with airflow ejected from Yu Di swiftly dispersed the toxic air from the room .
Ye Chong tossed the Greenbird onto the ground and spoke coldly through Yu Di’s audio amplifier, ”Come out!”
Greenbird collapsed on the ground in an awkward splay, laying still for a long moment.
Ye Chong knitted his brows, seeing the unresponsive mech. He whipped out Yu Di’s dagger and disassembles the low level Greenbird’s armor.
In that moment, Greenbird’s cabin opened in a swish, and a person wobbled out of the mech.
Apparently, when Yu Di released the Greenbird roughly onto the ground, the mech’s simplistic design with its mediocre hydraulic suspension system could not shield the pilot from the fall, despite the unremarkable falling distance. Greenbird’s pilot was dizzy from the fall, and could not respond to Ye Chong. Upon recovery, he looked right into the terrifying mech’s dagger. It shocked him to no end, as he panicked and made a hasty exit from the pilot’s cabin.
The guy before him was an unsympathetic killer. He had personally witnessed the five mechs outside crushed in an instant by him. Despite his vast experience in violent combat, this was the most bloody scene he had ever witnessed. Mech fragments mixed with blood and gore on the floor, making for a most unforgettable nightmare!
The guy was a murderous devil!
He stood in fear before the terrifying mech, face drained of color. Cold sweat rolled down his brows, and his legs shivered in protest.
Ye Chong took a good look at the person. He was thin as a stick, tall and pale. It could be his natural look, or the result of shock. He seemed like a studious person. ”No wonder he’s so bad at piloting,” Ye Chong thought to himself.
