Chapter 331: Fleet from Meditation
The Scavengers' Alliance is a large chain organization in the interstellar space, commonly known as the garbage collectors.
However, picking up trash in the universe is not as simple as picking up a few bottles.
Large interstellar battlefields and various cosmic Jedi places...are all places frequented by scavengers.
Therefore, they cannot be said to be weak, and can even be considered a relatively powerful organization.
However, no matter how powerful the organization is, it cannot control Li Yu for the time being.
"Take us to where you are holding the prisoners," Stanley said coldly.
Carol had already learned from his companions about his previous attitude of telling everything he knew.
He also understood that resistance was meaningless, so he could only hang his head and lead everyone to his spaceship.
"Isn't that the scavenger - Bloody Carol?" Someone on the road recognized Carol and was shocked.
"How did he get caught? Who are these guys?"
"I just heard from Tie Shou that the group that came here are ruthless and will start fighting if they say so. Could they be them?"
“…”
"Damn, you only saw Carol, no one noticed the snake head?" someone couldn't help but say.
"Fuck, we are not snake people, how can we recognize who he is?" The companion rolled his eyes.
"Idiot, where did the battle just break out? It was the snake's nest! That was..." At this point, his voice suddenly dropped a few notes: "It was... Venom Fang - Anthony!"
"hiss……"
His words caused a round of gasps, and it was clear that Anthony's arrest was far more shocking than Carol's.
"Where on earth did this powerful guy come from..." The villains on the road made way one after another and did not dare to stop him.
Olena approached Anthony, looked at the green snake head, and asked bluntly, "Who is behind you?"
"I'm from Gray Snake, a black organization. My latest mission is to observe recent anomalies in the Ancient Waterway." Anthony was very cooperative and immediately betrayed the organization behind him.
Gray Snake... Li Yu raised his eyebrows slightly. The Black Hole Network was once one of the eight black organizations. Their intelligence and information capabilities are comparable to those of many intelligence organizations of top civilizations, and they also engage in various black trades.
However, due to the intelligence crisis, the power of the black hole network has been greatly weakened, and these black organizations have been acting more low-key in recent years.
"…When Carol's men came to sell sundries from the Suster civilization, they accidentally let it slip that they had encountered an unknown fleet, so I set this trap to lure Carol here."
When Kanul heard this, he couldn't help but sulked and secretly cursed the idiot who let the cat out of the bag. If it weren't for that guy, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
After saying this, Anthony looked at Li Yu cautiously again.
Because of the mechanical mask, it could not see Li Yu's expression, and could only grit its teeth and say, "I am still valuable to you, so don't kill me for now."
"Bah!" Carol laughed contemptuously: "Coward!"
The two companions beside him looked at him fearfully and kept making faces at him, hoping that he would talk less.
Idiot! Anthony sneered in his heart. He was not a reckless guy. If there was hope of survival, he would seize it at all costs.
Olena glanced at Li Yu, then said to Anthony with interest: "What is your value to us?"
"I know you have your own intentions for the Ancient Waterway. I can lure the Gray Snakes behind you and make them make the wrong judgment." Anthony racked his brains, trying to show his value:
"I am a man of deep plans and ruthless, but I can also give you advice."
Li Yu did not comment, but just waved at Olena, which made Anthony feel relieved, as this hurdle was passed.
When they arrived at the port, the members of the scavengers' alliance were extremely indignant when they saw their boss being arrested.
Then he timidly gave way, which made Carol so angry that she stomped her feet.
Stanley has assembled the Iron Fist team, most of the supplies have been purchased, and they have taken over the entire scavenger ship.
The scavenger spaceship looks rather shabby, but after several modifications, its firepower and navigation performance are no less than those of a conventional warship.
Otherwise, it would not be able to move freely in the ancient waterway. The previous transport ship and this scavenger spaceship are far from comparable.
Naturally, this spaceship became Li Yu's vehicle and was forcibly requisitioned.
The fleet prisoners were held deep inside the spacecraft. Under Carol's guidance, the Iron Fist team quickly brought back dozens of [Sverre] guys wearing electromagnetic shackles.
This interstellar race has narrow eyes, ears like the elves in interstellar biographies, and silver-white pupils.
They are scattered in many civilizations and are mainly active in the Star Empire, but this does not mean that they are from the Star Empire.
It's really outrageous. A scavenger ship like Carol has no ability to resist the enemy's warships.
But because of their familiarity with the ancient waterways, they were not only able to defeat the enemy, but were even able to capture dozens of people.
"Are these the only ones who have fermented bean curd?" Stanley asked.
A conventional warship, not counting the ship-breaking team, would require at least several hundred other staff members to operate the entire warship.
"If I hadn't reacted quickly and thrown in a few tranquilizer bullets, we wouldn't even have these prisoners," Carol explained.
"They don't know which force trained these assassins. After the psychic tide damaged most of the ship, they were ready to commit suicide."
"These are the people who stayed behind to destroy the data. They were a little slower than people committing suicide."
These prisoners were fitted with various devices to prevent suicide and were even equipped with precious vital signs detection devices.
Even Carroll's players didn't get this treatment.
Although Carol acts carelessly, he is able to survive in the Ancient Waterway, which shows that he is meticulous.
He knew clearly that it was impossible for a large-scale fleet to appear in such a place. Once it appeared, it would mean that something big was happening in the ancient waterway.
These prisoners were an extremely important asset, but unfortunately his subordinates were not careful with their mouths. After all, they were not trained elites, so they leaked the information.
These thinking people showed no fear at all. Instead, they looked around and finally fixed their eyes on Li Yu.
"Untie them." Li Yu said.
“Don’t…don’t…” Carol hurriedly stopped them: “I wanted to interrogate them before, but after they were untied, they immediately committed suicide in various ways.”
The Iron Fist team didn't even listen to him, they just pulled out a random prisoner and untied him.
Just as Carol said, the prisoner rushed towards the sharp objects in the room the moment he was untied.
Unfortunately, Li Yu is not Carol. An invisible force kept the prisoner fixed in place, unable to move, and strange syllables came out of Li Yu's mouth.
The prisoner's eyes were dazed for a moment, and then his head exploded like a watermelon. Red and white objects scattered all over the ground, and some even splashed onto Carol.
Carol showed a look of disgust and stepped back.
Li Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, mental resistance?
Although mental control is relatively rare, many large forces have prepared countermeasures to prevent their secrets from being easily leaked.
The two A-level life forms of the Ark of Savior that Li Yu encountered before had methods to defend against mind control.
However, the means used by the Ark of Savior are obviously more advanced. Perhaps it is also because A-level life forms are more precious, so they do not use destructive means.
However, this force uses destructive means, and once someone detects a tendency to be controlled by mental power, their head will be blown up directly.
Li Yu casually pulled another prisoner over, stared at his face, and then used [Seed of Confusing Sound] again.
Sure enough, purple light appeared in the prisoner's silver-white pupils, and then his head exploded, and all kinds of bloody things were blocked outside by the Force barrier.
Li Yu frowned slightly, then looked at Hun Zhentian and ordered: "Go into his spiritual body and take a look."
"Yes!" Hun Zhentian walked forward immediately, and the light golden transparent spirit body was pulled out from its mechanical body and began to extend along the forehead of the captive.
With the invasion of the spirit body, the captive's head exploded again, but Hun Zhentian still found a clue and reported:
"Lord God, a purple symbol wraps around its spirit body."
A complex symbol appeared on Hun Zhentian's mechanical palm.
Xiao Chaonao quickly connected to the interstellar network and the black hole network, but did not gain anything in a short period of time.
Valuable information and materials can only be purchased, and you don’t even know whether they are true or false.
"It shouldn't be difficult to check. It's impossible that they haven't been active before." Li Yu thought for a moment and turned his gaze to Anthony in the corner.
Anthony saw the masked man looking at him , and immediately stepped forward and asked, "Sir, what do you want?"
"It's time to show your value." Li Yu drew a symbol casually, "Find out the origin of this symbol."
Anthony's heart was in his throat. This was the second test. If he failed, he would become a useless corpse.
After quickly glancing at the symbol, Anthony dialed a communication link in front of Li Yu.
"Code..." A hoarse voice came from the other end of the communication, and Anthony immediately carried out various verifications to prove his identity.
"Identity confirmed, Lant Hub Branch Director, tell me what you are here for."
"I want to know the origin of this symbol!" Anthony quickly passed the symbol over.
After a moment, a cold response came from the other side: "Insufficient authority, no reply."
Suddenly, Anthony felt a chill spreading over his snake skin, and he couldn't help but stick out his split tongue.
Then, he thought of a solution in a hurry: "Activate a special channel - the Ancient Channel Incident. I found a fleet in the Ancient Channel and applied to submit evidence of the prisoners."
Recently, the Gray Snake Organization has focused on collecting intelligence on the Ancient Waterway and has opened up special channels that allow it to exchange information beyond its authority.
"I agree to submit evidence." The other party responded. Anthony's snake eyes showed joy, and then he looked at Li Yu.
This guy is quite quick-witted. Li Yu pondered for a moment and realized that this fleet was not his teammates, so there was no need to keep it secret. He nodded and let Anthony operate on his own.
Anthony asked Carol for the battle video, the wreckage of the battleship, and the final video of the prisoners, and submitted them to him.
Although Carol was reluctant , she had no choice but to get the job done while muttering to herself.
"This is a weapon that appeared in..."
Not long after the information was submitted, the Gray Snake Organization received a reply.
"Review completed, intelligence sent...pay close attention to the Ancient Waterway, report back if you have any information."
Close the communication, the information about this rune has been transmitted.
"Meditation?" Li Yu looked up and saw a familiar name.
This rune comes from a meditation organization and is called the Vega Spiritual Protection Rune. It is a key method they use to control low-level fighters and prevent the leakage of confidential information.
According to the information from the Gray Snake Organization, in order to research this rune, Meditation paid a huge price and captured several gods before he was able to do it.
Although other civilizations, except for the Glorious Council, do not promote the way of gods, many forces often study gods and obtain many valuable things.
It has to be said that the way of the gods has its own special features. It can easily accomplish many things that cannot be accomplished by cutting-edge technology, and vice versa.
"Meditation Institute, they are quite fast in entering." Li Yu pondered and couldn't help but think of the ring.
Killing the Sleeper himself caused quite a stir, and Meditation should also know that he might be among the targets of this fleet's mission.
But the other party should not know that I have arrived at the Ancient Waterway. The current situation is that the enemy is in the open and I am in the dark.
Meditation Institute?
The others looked at each other in bewilderment. This large research institute had a high reputation in the interstellar space. So, what on earth had happened in this ancient waterway?
Stanley suppressed his curiosity and didn't ask.
Li Yu never told them why they came to the Ancient Waterway .
The same thing happened last time in the Tabli galaxy. It was not until the end that they realized that the target of the mission was actually the genetic optimization device.
"Carol, how likely do you think it is that this fleet is still there?" Li Yu pondered for a moment, then looked at Carol again.
Carol sneered, "If they weren't stupid, they wouldn't stay there."
"Watch your tone!" Stanley shouted sharply.
Carol curled her lips again and had to add, "But warp navigation is not possible near the psychic tide. Even if they leave, they can only move normally using thrusters."
"It's been about ten days since I saw them. At the speed of the thrusters, they shouldn't be too far away."
"In that case, take us to have a look." The corners of Li Yu's mouth curled up slightly under the mask.
