Chapter 1072: Chapter 417: Layers of Mechanisms, Fate’s Decree [6,000 Words]

These black squares were the special bombs that Noel Sandro had created just moments ago, using the Liquid Metal Dispersed Droplets collected by Qian Wangshen as core material.

Three minutes later, the group reached their next destination, then accelerated with a roar and burst inside.

This was yet another new hemispherical hall.

As soon as they entered, alarms blared from behind.

Yujin had already transformed his armor again, setting it up into a rapid-fire cannon aimed at the rear.

Those faceless humans who previously couldn’t find a target lock onto the group’s position again, like zombies released, they turn around and pursue fiercely.

Song Mu’en and Wang Qiao positioned themselves on either side of Yujin’s cannon. The trio began unleashing continuous firepower, blocking the advance of the faceless horde.

Noel’s pre-laid black cubes started to explode one after another, causing casualties to those faceless humans.

The technological level of the faceless humans inside the white sphere was evidently much lower than the four outside, probably equivalent to an average Level Nine Professional.

The combined shooting of Yujin’s group and Noel’s bombs inflicted effective casualties on these faceless humans.

In the hemispherical hall, Ren Zhong and Yu Chengde, who had moved to the front of the formation, rushed forward to engage in a chaotic battle with a massive Ninth Rank Ruined Beast that had just emerged from the wall.

The moment he first encountered these Ninth Rank Ruined Beasts, completely obedient to the frozen Elders, Ren Zhong understood a truth.

Source Star was likely a massive breeding ground, and a dual breeding one at that.

The first to be bred were humans, who served three functions. 1. Provide brains. 2. Provide productivity to exploit star system resources. 3. Provide food and core resources for evolution to Ruined Beasts.

The second bred entity was the Ruined Beast. The Association, despite clearly possessing the means to completely annihilate the Ruined Beasts long ago, chose to let them roam and even deliberately suppress the equipment and overall strength of the wastelanders to instead protect the Ruined Beasts. The Association’s fundamental goal was to deliberately preserve the growth and development soil for the Ruined Beasts in order to continuously acquire Ruins Beast Crystals, Crystal Cores, special materials, and ultra-high rank Ruined Beasts.

The Mengdu Group’s actions with the Legion Beasts were things the frozen Elders had been doing long before, and doing better.

When Ren Zhong realized this, he was utterly unrestful inside, and fury almost consumed him.

It took him several timelines to slowly calm down and face the objective fact of this dual breeding, further solidifying his resolve to resist.

These old fogy popsicles aren’t even fit to be called human. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

As Ren Zhong and Yu Chengde joined forces to battle the Ninth Rank Ruined Beast, the other seven including Ma Xiaoling were already sprinting towards the central area in the hemispherical hall.

Upon arrival, Qian Wangshen once again set up a supercomputing server for Chen Qiao.

Chen Qiao prepared to once again deploy her hacker skills to infiltrate this hemispherical hall.

The true function of this hemispherical hall was indeed the elevator leading directly to the core area of the white sphere.

Ma Xiaoling stood guard in the inner circle with Bai Feng, Song Rui, Xiao Xingyue, and Noel Sandro.

Ignoring all the interference around her, Chen Qiao maintained a solemn expression, her gaze steadfastly fixed on the display before her.

On the screen, vast amounts of information flashed by at extreme speed.

The sheer volume of information was overwhelming, to the point where even Chen Qiao’s reflex speed was struggling to keep up.

At this moment, she not only had to remember the key points Ren Zhong taught during planning, but she also had to accurately capture the fleeting critical parameters from the massive amount of information.

It was so difficult that she felt a splitting headache, unable to focus, with her mind starting to scatter involuntarily.

In a daze, images began to flash through the little girl’s mind.

These images depicted the miserable encounters she faced as a younger child struggling in the slums of a small town.

There was also the desperate scene where she was almost devoured by hungry wastelanders when the self-governing order was enacted.

In that moment, Ren Zhong and Xiao Xingyue seemed to descend from the sky on colorful clouds, rescuing her from the crazed wastelanders’ hands. They dressed her in beautiful clothes and brought her back to Starfire Town.

Chen Qiao remembered clearly how Mr. Ren bestowed his guidance when he sent her and hundreds of other kids into the Starfire Orphanage.

"Fate has never been fair. So, you lost the protection of your loved ones early. But fate always leaves a glimmer of hope in unparalleled despair, and so you encountered me. I lent you my strength and let you survive. Now, you stand at the crossroads of fate. Next, you have two choices. First, live a new life contently that I brought to you and become an ordinary resident of Starfire Town, to live, grow old, get sick, and die here. Second, study hard, it doesn’t matter which field or what talents you have. By striving and fighting, you will master skills that others don’t possess, and in turn, become my arm, giving back the power you obtained to me, and together, we’ll save more children with similar fates. I only took care of you till this point, henceforth, it’s up to you. Go, to the Starfire Hope School, and learn from the basics. I’m waiting for you."

At that time, for Mr. Ren, those words may have just been an impromptu little speech, forgotten after he said it.

He said those things back then just to motivate the children he gathered with Xiao Xingyue during their travels, helping them recover from the nightmare.

This was the seed he planted while experiencing the world to understand it deeply, finally bearing fruit now.

The hardly noticeable Chen Qiao from back then had finally blossomed after several years of study, graduating with excellent grades from Starfire Science College early, joining the Revival Plan’s research project team led by Hua Yuelan, and inevitably stepping into Ren Zhong’s radar, which brought her here now.

Chen Qiao glanced at Ren Zhong, who was in a blue war armor and was maneuvering around the giant octopus-shaped Ruined Beast.

A glimmer of determination flashed in the little one’s eyes, she silently thought to herself: "Uncle, I’m going to lend you my strength."

In the next second, Chen Qiao quietly activated a mechanism in her equipment.

Dozens of Silver Needles emerged from her helmet, piercing into her head, through her skull, and into her cerebral cortex.

A special bioenzyme refined from Alien Ore Colloid began flowing into her brain through these Silver Needles, continuously stimulating her psyche, elevating her brain’s response and thinking speed.

Chen Qiao’s pupils began to emit a gleaming green light, her facial expression turned ferocious, and root-like veins rapidly protruded from the sides of her eyes.

From afar, Ren Zhong noticed the change over there.

Deep inside, he remained calm, without joy or sadness.

This was the six hundred and twenty-second time he watched this little girl risking everything.

Some things, after experiencing them too many times, gradually become inevitabilities within fate, turning into something so habitual it numbs.

Ren Zhong knew Chen Qiao would surely succeed, but she would definitely die here as well.

The thirteen-member Suicide Squad was about to lose another member.

But this was only the beginning.

Approximately ten minutes later, accompanied by a rumbling loud noise, the floor of the massive hemispherical hall began to slide downwards.

And it was at this time that Ren Zhong and Yu Chengde finally joined forces to slay the Ruined Beast before them.

Ren Zhong turned to look in the direction of Yujin, Wang Qiao, and Song Mu’en.

Over there, Yujin’s body had once again burned to charred remains.

Wang Qiao’s chest was penetrated by a metal spike; his body exhibited a metallic luster, motionless like a statue.

Song Mu’en was half-sitting on the ground, her body covered in wounds, with large streams of blood gushing out from the gaps in her armor.
