Inside The Black Mist

Chapter 31 - Provoke



Ch 31 - Provoke

After the convoy set off again, it was obvious to anyone that Han Shu was in a bad mood.

He was in a bad mood, with some valid reasons. In order to rescue Chen Liu, two teams, Raven and Highland Eagle, lost three soldiers. Those who remained in the square also lost a number of personnel.

Ammunition, star-energy, and medical resources were also depleted to varying degrees. Even now, in that medical vehicle, there is still an Ascenders who just underwent surgery and is lying in the intensive care bed.

And all of this could have been avoided.

So everyone on the road did not make a sound, even the most talkative old Xu, also sullenly smoking a cigarette.

Tianyang sat in the back of the chariot, silently reflecting on the summary of his previous battle.

Through the actual battle he found that the star energy in his body can reach the peak of activity in a very short period of time. This allows himself to have extremely strong explosive power, and extremely high mobility.

The biggest discovery, however, was the detection of weaknesses of dark creatures.

At that time when he observed the alienated body in that mad dog, LEAD DOG's flesh appeared to fade, allowing Tianyang to directly [see] the prison of will inside it. And after that, the slash proved that it was not an illusion.

Now that he thought about it, this should be the specific use of the ability [weakness sensing].

Thinking of this, Tianyang peeked towards Han Shu in front of him ...... However, the fading phenomenon did not happen.

Could it be that this ability is not effective on humans?

The young man thought to himself, if only there was an instruction manual ......

"It's a little strange."

Old Xu, who had been silent, finally spoke up.

Han Shu in front of him said, "Why?"

Old Xu tapped his finger on the car window: "Captain, look outside, it's too quiet."

"I remember the mission report said that there are massive prowler out here, how come we haven't seen any of them."

The convoy turned through an intersection, the lights were not a single ghost shadow.

Tianyang also looked out the window, as Old Xu said, the street can not see a prowler.

But when he was leaving, those dark creatures were massive.

Now, where did those things go?

Han Shu did not think: "Maybe they went somewhere else, prowlers are all over the world. Do you expect them to grow up in Metropolis?"

Old Xu muttered, "I hope so."

As a result, until they arrived at their destination, they did not bump into a prowler, so smooth that it was a surreal feeling.

Seeing the entrance of the tunnel with the Pillar of Star growing again, Tianyang was touched by the fact that it was in that tunnel that his life was transformed.

The tunnel below can be seen as the crossroads of The young man's fate.

Now that he is back again, I wonder what will happen again.

I hope nothing will happen.

The young man, who was satisfied with the current situation, said in his heart.

The team stopped at the entrance of the tunnel, two Night Walker squads teamed up to set up a perimeter, Raven squad went down the tunnel to check, to confirm that there is no danger, before allowing the recovery squad with equipment stepped into the tunnel.

Tianyang followed Chen Liu and the others and arrived in the tunnel when the recovery squad was already preparing to mine.

Such a large Pillar of Star, naturally, there is no way to gather the whole thing. The ones that can be gathered intact are the smaller ones, like the one in Sky Tower Memorial Park.

But even if it can be gathered intact, after leaving the Inverse Universe, the Pillar of Star will not continue to grow. Moreover, the star energy will be slowly lost, so far, there is no clear answer to this phenomenon.

"Okay, everyone, listen to me."

Han Shu coughed dryly, pulling the attention of the crowd: "According to our tradition, all personnel except Ascenders will have the chance to touch Pillar of Star once. Old Xu, you go and call down the medical team as well."

Old Xu agreed and was about to leave, but Chen Liu stopped him, "What kind of tradition is this, why haven't I heard of it? Captain Han, what the hell are you up to!"

Han Shu said, "I didn't do it, it's our Night Walker tradition. Collecting Pillar of Star is a dangerous and demanding job, they are fully entitled to a chance to change their fate."

"Nonsense!" Chen Liu shouted, "The Fort's annual bar mitzvah at Memorial Park is for residents who have reached the age of 18 to get a chance to touch the Pillar of Star. Now these people in the team, those who are adults have already touched Pillar of Star, those who haven't participated in the Bar Mitzvah yet, will also have the opportunity later, no need to do all these extra things!"

"Sir, there is something for everyone, you can touch it too. Anyway, it does not delay much time, besides, the one in Memorial Park hasn't given birth to an Ascenders in years. If you want me to say, that thing should be replaced."

Han Shu's cheeky look makes Chen Liu want to punch him in the face.

Chen Liu said with a stern face, "I don't agree anyway."

Han Shu scratched his hair: "How about this, let's have a referendum, raise your hand if you are in favor, minority obeys majority. Sir, what do you think?"

Chen Liu shouted, "Then the majority must be in favor, what's the point."

Han Shu laughed dryly and looked at Chen Liu meaningfully, "Sir, since you understand that everyone wants to have a chance to change themselves, why do you have to stop it. It's hard to disobey public opinion, sir."

Chen Liu looked around, although no one said anything, but from the eyes of those people, Chen Liu knew that they did not like himself.

"Whatever you guys want, but when I go back, I have to reflect to my superiors about your Night Walker's so-called tradition!"

Han Shu laughed out loud, not taking it personally, and even gave Chen Liu a military salute: "Thank you, sir!"

Chen Liu was super angry, but there was nothing he could do, so he simply walked away to sulk by himself.

Old Xu went to shout at people, Tianyang simply went deeper into the tunnel since there's nothing to do with him anymore.

A few moments later, he saw a platform.

In front of the platform was a dark track, but no train-like carrier could be seen, so perhaps the train was now docked in some dark section of the tunnel.

Tianyang then realized that the residents of Inverse Universe had dug tunnels underground for the train to run.

How much do they hate the sun to put the trains under the surface...

Tianyang suddenly heard the sound of footsteps when his thoughts were scattered, and the lighting in his hand immediately swept in the direction of the source of the sound.

"Huh, what a coincidence." That was Zhou Wang's voice.

Tianyang lowered the lighting tool, and sure enough, the youth with an arrogant face walked over, empty-handed.

Not wanting to waste words with such a person, Tianyang walked forward in silence, and as he passed by Zhou Wang, an arm stopped him.

Zhou Wang's hand.

Resisting the urge to move his hand towards his combat knife, Tianyang raised his eyes and looked at it: "What are you doing?"

Zhou Wang smiled and said, "Don't be like this, are you still angry with me? I told you, that shot was just a slip of the hand. You wouldn't be that petty, would you?"

"It's none of your business what happens to me."

Tianyang squeezed down Zhou Wang's hand and passed by him.

But as he was walking far away, Zhou Wang's voice came from behind, "That girl, her name is Xun, right? What a coincidence, she is actually from the medical team. I've played with a lot of women, but I've never touched a nurse. When I get back, I'll have to play with her, I hope she's still intact, then it'll be more fun."
