Chapter 118: Concerted Attack From Within And Without

“You don’t seem to be surprised. Have you expected this earlier?”

Emmus looked at Cillin in surprise. Cillin appeared as indifferent as ever as pared to Wa Qing.

“It was one of my guesses. I’ve never underestimated the army.” Cillin said.

When Cillin was still a Shadow Hunter, a rather famous Hunter on Planet Brown Earth who was detained by the local military and sent to jail once said: never underestimate the army, for they might have planted their spies long before you realised it.

Cillin did not know if this line was meant for his Hunter rades hidden amidst the crowd, or simply his own solique. Regardless, Cillin accidentally heard this while he was passing through and had since etched it into his mind.

The army was formidable not only because of the Four Heavenly Edict Generals. It only appeared that way on the surface.

Cillin tossed a pill at Emmus, “Here. Insecticide.”

Emmus looked at the pill in his hand and asked, “You have a subspace container with you, don’t you?”

“What do you think?” Cillin answered the question with a question.

Emmus said nothing. He thought yes, but his scanners did not pick up any abnormalities at all.

“Keep hesitating. Those things will soon enter a period of exponential growth in another minute and thirty seconds.”

Emmus’ face twitched. Everything was within the kid’s calculations. After staring at the pill for another two seconds, he raised his head and swallowed the pill resolutely.

“I’m not telling you to die. Stop looking like you’re going to die a martyr.”

“I must thank you for your mercy then!” Emmus said through gritted teeth. He hadn’t drunk the fruit tea because he was sure that they were mixed with something as well. He wondered how Carranio was feeling right now.

Wa Qing listened to their conversation vacantly, “What… what’s entering a period of exponential growth again?”

“Worms.”

Wa Qing: “…” Didn’t that mean that he was infected as well?

“You’re fine. I’ve already injected the meds into your body.” Cillin added knowing what Wa Qing was thinking about.

It was only then Wa Qing recalled the moment when Cillin had walked towards his side quickly when he was first brought into the hall. At the time, Cillin wasn’t just inspecting his condition but injecting him with meds. No wonder he felt as if his back was stung by something back then. But how on earth did Cillin manage to pull it off?

After a pause, Wa Qing said again, “Cillin, Akayi and everyone…”

“They should be on a spaceplane headed for the Sixth B Squadron right now.”

The connection he shared with the gray cat informed Cillin that everything was progressing smoothly. He had planned to act separately from the gray cat in the first place. While the cat would act stupidly sometimes, it should not have any problems assessing time as a cybcom as long as everything was planned out properly beforehand. Plus, it wasn’t difficult for the gray cat to track down people. By sticking itself onto a spaceplane, it could conduct deep scans and biosign verification to the building plexes beneath it from high altitude. All it took was a spin around the area to know exactly where the hostages were imprisoned at, and even if it failed, it could still analyse and determine the best approximate location. This was without accounting its super sensitive nose.

“How’s the Sixth Squad doing?” Wa Qing had been anxious the entire time; he could still remember clearly how the battle went that day.
