Chapter 119: Bird of Paradise

Inside the great hall, Emmus watched the live images being projected on his palm. As expected, not only did Carranio chose not to directly launch a long distance attack against them, he did not even mobilise the spaceplanes and fighters to attack the great hall’s energy shields. This was thanks to Cillin’s parasites disrupting the bat power of the personnel in this area and buying them more time.

“Carranio is probably sending his men to acquire the energy absorption weapons from the arms warehouse right now. If the energy absorption weapons are mobilised, then we won’t be able to hold out for long no matter how many energy ores we have.” Emmus tapped out a control panel from his arm and operated it, “I’ve disrupted part of the long range weapons and the spaceplanes’ weapons, but that is all I can do. We have about twenty minutes left on the clock.”

“Where is their arms warehouse?” Cillin asked.

Emmus reduced the map scale on the projector and pointed at a location, “Here, at the scarlet desert area.”

“Scarlet desert area?”

“Mm. It’s called scarlet desert because the sand is all red. In fact, the majority of this planet is made up of scarlet deserts with extreme radiation. Even a rank B genotype would not be able to live over 40 years old in such an environment. This was why I refrained from going outdoors, and if I had to, I’d spray a layer of insulative paint on my body beforehand. This was also why they looked down on me,” Emmus shrugged, “No matter how strong your genotype is, there’s no reason to take an unnecessary risk. The crazies in Poison Fang may not treasure their lives, but I do, and I fear quite a lot for my life actually. I’ve been spying on Poison Fang for a very long time. If you guys could take out Poison Fang, then I’d be able to go home as well. What awaits me after this will be a shiny future where I would be promoted to a ranked officer, and maybe even a general before I’m forty years old. For the past twenty years or so I haven’t been able to enjoy life at my leisure, so I have no intentions of being sentenced to death at such a young age.”

Cillin thought for a moment before saying to Emmus and Wa Qing, “I’m heading out. Reduce the area covered by the energy shields later and stay inside. If Carranio fails to mobilise the energy absorption weapons to this place, then stay here until the energy ores inside that device is finished.” Cillin pointed at the four semicircular objects. The energy ores powering it should be able to hold out for another twenty hours or so, and by then everything should be more or less over. There would be no need to switch to a new power source.

“You’re going out alone?” Wa Qing frowned. He might be a little weak right now, but he could still fight.

“It will do. You’ll only die if the two of you head outside.”

Cillin’s words might be a little ugly, direct and hurtful, but neither Emmus nor Wa Qing raised an objection because they recalled the ‘Bird of Paradise’ Cillin had mentioned earlier. They did not know what it was, but it was probably a lot deadlier than those parasites.

“Aren’t you afraid that I’d harm LC Wa Qing?” Emmus smiled.

“It’s fine. I left you a ‘Bird of Paradise’ too.”

“Oh dear, please don’t. I swear I won’t harm LC Wa Qing in any way, so please?” Emmus raised both his hands to show his determination.

“If everything goes well, you can go straight back to the army. This will be a collaboration.”
