Chapter 394: Falling Sick

Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

D*mn! The room was actually a freezer. He was inside an actual freezer! Ye Chong quickly rummaged through the boxes in the room, and found them all to be filled with food.

The temperature was dropping fast. Ye Chong felt like he was in the dead of winter.

No! If he did not leave this place soon, his body will quickly lose warmth. Having a strong body did not mean he was immortal. Ye Chong had studied biology before, and knew that if he stayed put, he would not be able to hold on for long. The cells in his body would die from losing too much heat.

He walked towards the metal door carefully, and listened for any sounds outside. No one was outside. It seemed that the situation was not too severe yet.

He pushed the door with his hand, but the metal door did not even budge.

Ye Chong felt his heart turn colder, and not because of freezer. The door was locked from outside! Ye Chong tried pushing harder, but the door did not move at all.

It looked like he would need his dagger. Ye Chong took out his dagger and operated on the metal door. The dagger's edge was very sharp, and cutting his way out should not be too difficult.

Just as the dagger's sharp edge touched the metal door, Ye Chong abruptly stopped. His mind was racing!

Using brute force to make his way out would not be too difficult, but it would leave tracks. This was a food storage room, which meant that the crew would definitely visit the place some time during their journey. They would notice the damage he caused and be alarmed, possibly even conducting a full search on the entire starship.

Ye Chong had intended to leave Dankwood planet undetected. If he forced his way out, that would be definitely achieved. If he left any tracks, the Ye Family's absurdly powerful intel would definitely allow them to find him easily.

After a long moment's thought, Ye Chong returned his dagger to its sheath. After all, he could always use it later when the situation demanded it.

This was a freezer storage room for food. The crew would come here to get more food when the time comes. He could wait for a better opportunity to escape, instead of forcing his way out.

With this decision in mind, Ye Chong calmed down and returned to his corner to sit down, with the wooden spear by his side. The alchemy materials and raw ingredients in the wooden box were already mostly exhausted from recent battles. After giving some to Guang Wei, there was also not much medicine left. In the end, Ye Chong bundled everything into a pouch he bought in Abyss City, together with the reward that Han Yue had given him.

When Ye Luo saw him producing so much money from the box, the man was stunned. Han Yue had rewarded Ye Chong with a huge sum that even someone as wealthy as Ye Luo felt envious about it. Ye Luo had teased Han Yue for being unfair by paying Ye Chong so much and paying nothing to him, despite both of them helping Han Yue.

There were 30 small green metallic rods, all thick as a thumb, with their surface etched with some intricate patterns. Aside from the emerald colored exterior, Ye Chong did not find anything particularly valuable about these metallic rods. He had never seen this kind of metal before, but he had no devices at hand to analyze them.

Ye Luo called them tilia crystal rods, and each of them represented a huge sum of money. As for how much they were really worth, Ye Chong had no idea. The tilia crystal rods were made of very hard material, it was no wonder they were a form of high value currency. When Ye Chong took out half of the tilia crystal rods and offered them to Ye Luo, he grinned and declined them.

If only Mu and Shang were here, then he could just pass all these things to them for safekeeping, and not worry about them himself.

Now that he thought about it, Mu and Shang were the only mech Ye Chong had seen that could store objects in the alternate dimension.

As Ye Chong sat down, feeling more composed, he began to think.

Once he escaped, he would once again be separated from Rui Bing and the rest. Reuniting with them would not be so easy anymore. He felt a sense of loss, but there was nothing he could do about it. Ye Luo was right. Staying on Dankwood planet was too dangerous for him. Besides, he could not find out anything about their current situation and whereabouts, and it was almost impossible for him to sought them out.

On the other hand, if he could really find them, it was not necessarily a good thing. Against a strong force like Ye Yin, Rui Bing and the rest would constantly be in danger, and he would also be more restricted in his options. It was after considering all these that Ye Chong finally decided to leave Dankwood planet.

In any case, he should prioritize on surviving first, so that he may live to meet with the rest in the future. Ye Chong made his plans with cold calculations, unaffected by his emotions.

Fate was unpredictable. Comrades who were with him today might be forever out of reach the day after. Ye Chong was not a sentimental kind of guy, but he could not help but sigh. Usually, such emotions were impossible to find in him, since he was already used to being strong and alone. However, he was still human, and a young 20-over-year-old one at that.

Ye Chong sighed quietly, and thought of Mu and Shang. Abruptly, he was struck with a deep feeling of longing for Mu and Shang!

”Mu, Shang, where are you?” The young man's weak mutterings resonated clearly in the cold freezer.

Ye Chong was falling sick! He was sure of it. This was already the 15th hour in the freezer! His patience had led him towards this quandary.
