Dozens of Shilin People were quickly wiped out.
However, seeing the number of Shilin People following behind growing larger and larger, along with the artillery fire becoming more intense, even though the cha’s speed had been pushed to the limit, they couldn’t shake off the Shilin People.
After all, Shilin People kept coming from ahead.
Although the cha held air superiority and initiative, unless it could fly off this planet in one go, once it landed, it would be imdiately discovered and swiftly surrounded by the enemy!
This planet was already covered with Shilin People, leaving almost no place for them to stand.
Even Han Yun City frowned at this situation, feeling as though they had already fallen into a sea of humans, surrounded on all sides by enemies, with nowhere to escape.
He asked, "What should we do?"
"I have a way!"
Xu Lingjun sighed and said, "Xiaoya, it’s up to you to draw them away."
"Understood, Master!"
"I’ll lend you the Nanoter Armor!"
"Yes, thank you for your concern, Master."
Han Yun City asked, "What are you planning to do?"
"No ti to explain. You all hold hands, try to keep your bodies in contact, and I’ll take you away."
Indicating for a few of them to hold his hand, Xu Lingjun grabbed Han Yun City with one hand, and with the other, he flipped out a mini-computer on his left arm, operated it a few tis, and the figures of a few people instantly beca invisible.
"Jump!"
Xu Lingjun pulled a few people along as they jumped downwards.
As the four of them disappeared, the cha suddenly accelerated, even deliberately lowering its altitude to ensure these Shilin People wouldn’t lose track and continued flying towards the distance, with many Shilin People on the ground behind them pursuing furiously.
anwhile, Xu Lingjun and others were in the air, completely invisible, with no place to leverage from, but using the Lightweight Step, a sophisticated cultivation technique utilizing Wind Power, he sailed along the wind, carrying the other three forward...
As they slowly glided, they saw every place the Shilin People passed was empty, leaving only endless yellow sand.
Apparently, the Shilin People in this area had all gone to pursue the enemy, making it a temporarily safe zone.
The four slowly landed on the ground.
Then cautiously walked, finding a sand dune that blocked light on three sides.
Only after confirming no Shilin People were spying around did the four breathe a slight sigh of relief.
As Xu Lingjun let go.
The four who had been invisible all revealed their forms simultaneously.
Zhao Yang’s eyes were wide with surprise, evidently not expecting Xu Lingjun to have such cutting-edge technology.
"Is this the invisibility function you used to assist in killing Zhou Qianmo back then?"
Han Yun City looked at Xu Lingjun, recalling the bomb he casually threw earlier which isolated elite Shilin People, preventing them from pursuing, realizing that even with the cha, escaping wouldn’t have been easy.
This guy really has too many tricks up his sleeve.
As an enemy, he’s a great headache, but as a friend, he’s very reassuring.
"Yes, it’s thanks to this thing, otherwise shaking off these Shilin People would’ve been quite difficult."
Zhao Yang said with relief, "Thankfully, the mission this ti was accomplished. These people wanted to seize our warship, giving us enough ti and opportunity to at least obtain sufficient Void Gold. As long as we can return safely, our task is essentially complete."
"That’s not the issue here, is it?"
Han Yun City said gravely, "These Shilin People should’ve been annihilated by us humans long ago, and even if there were so remnants, they could hide and recover, striving to restore their for⟩r glory, but they gathered here on Xuyun Star and are mining Void Gold, what are they planning?"
"Revenge on Blue Star perhaps."
Xu Lingjun said, "The tone in that person’s speech was full of resentnt towards Blue Star, they probably know already they’re not welco among the mysterious races of the heavens, so their hatred beca their drive for survival!"
Zhao Yang curiously asked, "But if they wanted revenge, they could go to the Polar Star Battlefield, what vengeance can they seek in such a desolate place?"
"If we could figure out this problem, that would be great."
Liu Dong said, "Did you pay attention to that person’s tone? Clearly very familiar with us humans... When you joined the Polar Star Battlefield, Your Highness, the Shilin Race had already been annihilated, so you might not understand, these Shilin People, due to being infected with Shilin Disease, can’t reproduce through conventional ans. They pass on their lineage through infection by the disease."
Han Yun City exclaid, "Infection? Are you saying the Shilin Race might include humans among the mysterious races of the heavens, and you suspect the leader of the Shilin Race might be a forr Polar Star Battlefield Warrior?!"
Liu Dong sighed, "Back in the day, the Shilin Race was humanity’s greatest enemy, and those wounded by them were basically incurable. I once saw my comrade lying on an ice bed, bit by bit crusted with stone phosphorus, looking disgusting and terrifying, and although he retained his mory after getting infected, his personality beca increasingly violent. Later, with his permission, we dispatched a professional research team to kill and dissect him!"
"And then?"
"And we concluded that Shilin secretes a pathogen that stimulates the infected, making them violent. Gradually, while still retaining previous mories, their personality changes drastically. More frighteningly, these pathogens create a strong dependency feeling among the Shilin Patients, aning those secreting the pathogens develop a strong kinship towards one another..."
"So forr loved ones beco people they want to kill, and forr enemies beco kin, being assimilated was just a matter of ti!"
Liu Dong lanted, "After learning this, the Three Great Empires simultaneously took action, risking heavy casualties to completely wipe out the Shilin Race. It’s inconceivable that there were still so survivors, and those survivors were humans converted into the Shilin Race."
"Humans... wait a minute!"
Xu Lingjun suddenly had an epiphany, exclaiming, "I know where the familiar feeling ca from earlier."
The others looked at Xu Lingjun simultaneously, not understanding what he ant.
Xu Lingjun asked, "Old Han, didn’t you feel familiar with the way those Shilin People attacked when we fought them up close?"
Han Yun City paused, thought for a mont, and nodded, "This... indeed a bit."
"It’s the Wind Fist Style’s moves!"
Xu Lingjun said, "But it’s already a very outdated style. Elder Feng has improved these martial skills over the years, significantly increasing their lethality, but what they’re using is the oldest version of the martial skills, apart from the core being unchanged, the external display has mostly changed. I didn’t realize it at first... They’re using Wind Fist Style techniques!"
"Wind Fist Style... Baoyan Army Legion?!"
Liu Dong suddenly enlightened, "I rember, back then, the Baoyan Army Legion was responsible for delivering nuclear bombs into the Shilin Race’s Earth Core. Could it be they failed but didn’t die, and now, gradually infected by the Shilin Race’s virus, have completely assimilated into the Shilin Race?"
