Chapter 164: Hunter in the Darkness
Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Just as the cabin door to the captain’s quarters closed behind Mu Fei, the room was suddenly plunged into darkness, and astonished cries were heard! However, the cabin door was sound proof. Even with the short distance between them, Mu Fei could not sense anything amiss!
In the sudden darkness, everyone in the captain’s quarters were thrown into a state of terror!
Ye Chong quietly deployed Guardian in the darkness. He was now used to Guardian’s unique black and white vision, and 3D image sketched out by numerous white lines were familiar to him. Additionally, he already noted down everyone’s position in the room. Not to mention, Shang was with him!
Ye Chong moved lightly as a shadow, unnoticed in the darkness.
Ye Chong’s unreasonable strength, amplified by Guardian, resulted in terrifying efficiency. This also allowed Ye Chong to move faster. Ye Chong acted more efficiently than he could ever imagine with Guardian’s accurate scans!
The gasping voices were almost simultaneously cut off by the clear sound of broken bones!
Ye Chong landed softly before the cabin door. In the brief moment earlier, Ye Chong attacked a total of 16 times without missing even once, crushing their necks. Since Ye Chong moved very quickly, the sound of bones breaking almost all overlapped with each other! Without Guardian’s amplification effect, Ye Chong could not have achieved such a difficult feat. However, with Guardian’s assistance, Ye Chong easily managed this impossible task!
Just as Ye Chong landed, the cabin door opened without the slightest delay! Mu and Shang were never one for wasting time!
The truth was, just as Ye Chong boarded the starship, Shang had secretly gained control over the entire ship. While the starship was better in terms of armory and automotive power compared to his last experience with Nast, its anti hacking system was far inferior. Shang managed to hack in with his first try, and obtained the highest access rights for Glinton!
From that moment on, Ye Chong waited for the perfect moment, the moment to deliver the fatal blow to his enemy, so that he could escape the Sanctuary’s grasp! The one he was most cautious of was Mu Fei. As for the other mech pilots, Ye Chong believed that, given the environment they were in, Guardian was more effective than their mechs. Besides, he had Shang’s help!
Black Cove’s appearance was a surprise to Ye Chong, but he quickly realized that this was a golden opportunity! However, just as he noticed his improvement in strategizing and adapting, a detailed plan of action was already presented to him. He finally understood one thing - Shang’s evil nature made him a better choice than Mu to plan battle strategies!
The plan was comprised mainly of ambushing, faking and similarly cunning moves, almost as if they were made just for Ye Chong, the natural hunter!
The entire plan was truly insidious! Unexpectedly, the captain was unknowingly cooperative. As the exchange transmission was sent, Shang immediately made some appropriate changes to their plan! For Shang, who had the entire Glinton system under control, modifying the exchange transmission was a piece of cake! That was how a patronizing and insulting message was sent out by Shang instead!
The effect was marvelous! Black Cove’s commander in chief was obviously infuriated. Of course, it was partly because they were confident of their strength, since they had 50 Cosmic Flares!
They also did not expect the inconspicuous Glinton to harbor such a powerful combat force, and the result was a terrifying battle! Whether it was Black Cove or the Sanctuary, neither of them was the winner of the battle!
Shang’s plan extended even further! He had predicted that Black Cove would ultimately prevail, and that Mu Fei would head out by then! The entire plan depended on the time when Fei Mu left the captain’s quarters to the combat preparation room.
There were no more combatants in the captain’s quarters by then. Using the immediate darkness to his advantage, Ye Chong maneuvered Guardian and easily ended the bloodbath in the captain’s quarters! Gone were the dangerous threats before him!
What Ye Chong had to do now was stop Mu Fei before he reached the combat preparation room! Without entering the combat preparation room, Mu Fei could not deploy his mech! Without a mech’s protection, no matter how good Mu Fei was as a mentalist pilot, he would definitely not stand a chance against Guardian!
”Attack the enemy at his weakest when you are at your strongest!” Shang crowed, pleased with himself, and Ye Chong felt like hitting the mech in the face!
Guardian landed with slightly bent knees and pushed forward, and Ye Chong shot past the cabin door like a furious golden arrow!
Ye Chong’s legs were powerful, and made even more so through Guardian’s amplification! Ye Chong stepped onto the ground and pushed, and flew a dozen meters ahead, giving the illusion of Ye Chong running with a long stride!
Ye Chong was highly focused. He dared not be careless as he moved rapidly through the narrow corridors!
Mu Fei suddenly stopped in his tracks. He could hear a faint buzzing sound approaching him, and it was moving fast! He stood on alert and listened carefully. What speed! It must be above Mach 6! It if was outside, Mach 6 may not be particularly surprising, but if there was anything moving faster than Mach 6 in the ship, it was a terrifying prospect!
Mu Fei’s face turned grim!
Suddenly, Mu Fei’s vision turned into blackness, and entire corridor’s lights all went out!
