A Night of Desperation-Chapter 582: first entry 2

Yan Wei’s expression remained unchanged as she bent down and sprinted, reaching the next alley where the masked military was hiding in just a few moves. The metal torrent surged in again.

Before long, the masked military’s van was smashed to pieces, its top lifted. But, eerily, the crates that had just been transferred had disappeared?

Yan Wei didn’t have time to think;she knew something was wrong and quickly began searching the alleys one by one along the street.

The masked military had deliberately scattered to confuse them, fleeing in all directions.

There were even five identical vans.

Yan Wei sent two subordinates to chase the vans while she stayed behind to clean up the remnants of the pursuit.

Swish!

Using the Life Armor components that enhanced her physical abilities by more than ten times, she leaped lightly, appearing at the entrance of an alley.

In the alley, two masked soldiers, seeing the situation turning against them, roared and aimed their guns at her.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Dense gunfire filled the alley, but the next moment, the metal torrent roared in, tearing the two of them apart like ballooning meat paste, scattering pieces everywhere.

With a cold expression, Yan Wei continued to the next alley.

Another masked soldier thought he could survive by hiding in a trash can and using a jammer, but the metal torrent flew in directly, indiscriminately shredding everything.

In the third alley, just as Yan Wei was about to act, a flash of light appeared behind her, revealing a figure clad in purple-black armor.

"Yan Wei, greetings, Lord Safra!" She hurriedly turned and saluted.

"No need for formalities, act quickly." Safra, with his hands hanging down, raised a hand, and an even larger, more sturdy metal torrent rose behind him and then surged forward.

Boom!

Everything in the alley was instantly pulverized.

The two of them flashed again, arriving at a new alley.

With the continuous scour of the metal torrent, the number of masked soldiers rapidly decreased.

Until the last one was shredded and destroyed, Safra’s blue eyes scanned the surroundings, finding no trace of the boxes containing armor, their positioning devices destroyed.

He brought his men back to the front of the exhibition hall.

The captains of the other two teams also returned, each with an ugly expression.

"Is the armor still there?" Safra held onto a last sliver of hope.

"..."

"... This..."

The two bowed their heads, unable to answer.

"Useless!" Safra roared angrily.

With his anger, the ordinary people around the exhibition hall, including soldiers and police officers, all knelt on one knee, not daring to look up.

But as they knelt, they inadvertently exposed a few passersby who hadn’t reacted in time.

Two were half-grown children looking around for their lost parents.

One was a robust young man.

Their failure to kneel immediately made them conspicuous.

"Looking for death!" Safra’s fury erupted as he raised his hand, and a large mass of metal fragments flew into the air, tracing an arc like lightning, and pounced on the three. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Clang!

At that moment, a much smaller metal torrent rushed out from the side, just in time to knock Safra’s torrent askew and send it shooting skyward.

"Yan Wei! What are you doing?!" Safra roared in fury, turning to glare at Yan Wei.

"Lord, they are merely innocent passersby! Please, Lord, only capture the principal offenders! Randomly implicating innocents is not justice!" Yan Wei gritted her teeth and bowed her head.

Swish!

Safra said nothing, manipulating the metal torrent to rush into the sky and then swiftly back down at the three on the ground.

The enormous, sky-covering metal torrent terrified the three below into standing still, petrified.

"Lord!" Yan Wei once again knocked Safra’s torrent off course from the side, urgently reminding him.

"Yan Wei, this powerful weapon was specially bestowed upon you by His Highness to protect our Yinluo interests!! Not for you to turn it against us!" Safra shouted.

"I know my mistake!" Yan Wei quickly apologized. "But still, I believe handling the case should not harm innocents!"

"You!" Safra pointed at Yan Wei, his blue eyes flashing intensely. "Mere inferior Human Clan...!"

His finger trembled, with thin streams of metal converging at its tip, ready to shoot out and pierce Yan Wei’s forehead in his anger.

"Do you understand the consequences of the Sha River theft?!" Safra finally restrained himself, realizing these three had been specifically chosen by His Highness as examples for this planet’s Human Clan to submit. He wasn’t qualified to deal with them directly!

"..." Yan Wei said nothing more, keeping her head bowed and remaining still.

After a moment’s standoff, Safra angrily turned and vanished in a flash.

"I will report the whole story to His Highness! Await the judgment of the law!"

Yan Wei sighed, straightening up as a line of blood slowly dripped from her hair.

She touched the blood, pulling out a tissue to press against the scalp wound. Without glancing back at the alley, she slowly walked toward the exhibition hall.

In the alley behind her, Yu Hong narrowed his eyes, watching her back.

"I thought I was exposed just now."

"You reacted too slowly;everyone else had already knelt. Why didn’t you?" Quan He laughed through the transmission.

"Why should I kneel? I’m just wary of whether the power behind the Yinluo people exists in a higher dimension. But for the current level of this planet, if I’m exposed, at worst, I’ll just kill all the Yinluo people and run." Yu Hong said nonchalantly.

"Better not to. Based on the clues we have so far, I’m increasingly inclined to believe there is a hidden faction of Source Disaster surrenderers here. This Yinluo might be backed by an even bigger problem." Quan He reminded.

"I know. Besides, if I really did that, it would bring catastrophe to the people here.... So, the best method is to keep the situation in a state where they think they can control it, but it’s somewhat stalemated and can’t be completely resolved quickly." Yu Hong said.

"You’re right. By the way, did you fancy that girl just now?" Quan He asked curiously.

"A bit. She’s forcing herself to do what she thinks is right, but it’s not something she wants and is willing to do. This inner conflict torments her every moment. For someone who has endured such agony for a long time, once she clarifies her mind and determines her goal, the mental force she erupts will be extraordinarily powerful, almost unbeatable." Yu Hong nodded.

"But it’s not the right time yet. Only when the timing is right..." Yu Hong smiled.

Swish.

In the next second, he disappeared from the spot, leaving the two scared children beside seeing nothing, still staring at the alley entrance.

Outside the city, in a desolate mountain among withered forests.

Yu Hong extended his hand and took out a set of dark yellow close-fitting armor from the storage bag.

"Rather than calling it armor, it’s more like a set of high-intensity tight-fitting clothes. It contains a strong vitality.... It’s indeed very suitable as a consumable for our cultivation." Yu Hong examined the life armor.

Yes, the life armor that the Tower of Dawn painstakingly fought for ultimately ended up in his hands.

"You try to absorb it first and see how much we need for our cultivation." Quan He reminded.

"Okay." Yu Hong nodded.

He didn’t hesitate, directly operating the Qingyuan Heavenly River Miao Technique, swallowing the vitality of the armor in his hand.

Eeek...

The eerie thing was, as it was being absorbed, the armor really let out animal-like screams, as if it were alive.

But it was futile.

The immense vitality within it gushed out rapidly, flowing quickly into Yu Hong’s body.

One minute.

Two minutes.

Five minutes.

Half an hour!

"Amazing!" Yu Hong stopped, "Wait!" He stared gravely at the armor.

"The vitality inside isn’t much, it’s using a special technology, turning pure matter into energy, then using that energy to nurture immense vitality for itself."

He shook the life armor, its surface losing much of its luster.

"This set alone is enough for me to cultivate for five days, and this is just a low-grade life armor! The key is, if we master their method of using energy to rapidly generate vitality, we can produce vitality ourselves! No need for external objects!"

"That would be great, you bring it back first, let me study it." Quan He, aside from other things, had strong research abilities, though her cultivation talent overshadowed this aspect. Now that Yu Hong took the lead in cultivation, she wanted to find ways to help him.

After some secret contemplation, she decided to position herself as a researcher.

"Okay!"

Yu Hong nodded slightly and disappeared again, not through instantaneous movement, but simply moving quickly.

The theft of the life armor caused quite a stir in the Linglong Empire.

Numerous police and soldiers were deployed, searching everywhere for people from the Tower of Dawn.

The Tower of Dawn was furious because they didn’t even get the life armor!

At this moment, Yan Wei was suspended from duty due to negligence and was meditating at home.

Seven days later.

The thin rain drizzled outside the window.

Yan Wei held a cup of hot tea, standing quietly by the window, gazing at the blurred view outside.

"Do you regret it?" came the voice of her friend, Zhao Yingfei, from behind.

"Regret what? Since I made the choice, there’s no room for regret." Yan Wei said calmly. "It’s also good to stop now, otherwise, if I kept going, I might cause bigger trouble. Even now, people are accusing me of treason every day."

"Honestly, does it matter who manages? Under the Yinluo’s administration, everyone is fine. Why insist on forming a resistance organization?" Zhao Yingfei sighed.

Yan Wei said nothing.

"To be honest, Weiwei, you should be more careful. Don’t clash with your superiors for unrelated people, it’s too dangerous." Her friend advised softly.

"I know. Don’t worry." Yan Wei sighed. "By the way, did your family secure that armor parts production cooperation?"

"Hardly, not yet. The Yinluo demand at least seventy percent of the profit before they will teach our engineers the basic skills, and that just covers the basic skills regarding limbs." Her friend said helplessly.

Yan Wei thought for a moment, just about to speak.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, two blue lights flashed behind her abruptly.

Two Yinluo in black armor, carrying long spears, stepped out.

"Yan Wei, you’re suspected of colluding with the Tower of Dawn to seize life armor. Come with us." The two said, grabbing her arms.

"Wait, you must be mistaken!" Yan Wei was stunned, not knowing what was happening.
