With the assistance of Instrunts, the two halves of Dego's body had been repaired, and he could barely stand up.
This was the formidability of an A-Tier Lifeform. A seemingly severe injury could quickly recover mobility given so ti to repair.
"Should we go in?" Several squad leaders of The Reforrs asked in low voices, glancing around obscurely.
Several mbers of the Jedi Squad were clearing the battlefield. The other party's combat power was indeed very strong, but these few people alone couldn't stop them from escaping.
"I suggest you don't seek death." An unfamiliar voice sounded in everyone's ears. They looked down, and the one speaking was the Little Rascal beside Mia.
His hair was ssy, and his leather jacket had many repair marks and dark brown unknown stains.
"Where did this child co from?" Soone frowned and looked at Mia.
"He's... that person's... subordinate..." Mia didn't say clearly who it was, but everyone understood in their hearts.
Strictly speaking, Peter wasn't Li Yu's subordinate, more like an odd-job boy, but he acquiesced now and didn't explain.
"Kid, what brilliant idea do you have?" Soone's tone was unkind.
Peter's words were very impolite, plus many teammates had died, so everyone's mood was bad and their attitude was poor.
Stared at by the crowd, Peter wasn't cowardly. After all, he had been intimidated by Anthony before, and had done odd jobs on the Dunbu Starship for a few days, greatly broadening his horizons.
These surviving Reforrs couldn't scare him anymore.
"You were just saved by My Lord, and you want to leave silently without any expression of gratitude, if this isn't seeking death, what is it?"
Peter acted careless, but his slightly flushed cheeks were enough to reveal the unrest in his heart.
Too thrilling.
These people were all Advanced Lifeforms far exceeding him, even the rumored A-Tier Lifeforms, yet they were all trembling in fear under his words.
This feeling was simply too satisfying.
Dego narrowed his eyes, looking at Little Peter, and a chrysanthemum-like smile suddenly blood on his furrowed face:
"This little friend is right. If we just leave abruptly like this, it's really too impolite, and our mission hasn't been completed yet."
"Still... want to continue?" Soone's face showed hesitation. The experintal Base had already been occupied by Li Yu and belonged to the other party's spoils of war.
Wanting to continue completing the mission was tantamount to Snatch Food From A Tiger's Mouth.
"We can propose a trade, the other party's goal is definitely different from ours." Dego shook his head.
Because... their mission was top secret, even he didn't know what value the mission target actually had.
Little Peter's eyes shifted slightly. He had hung around the Tambur Hub for a long ti and knew what constituted valuable information.
Subsequently, he pretended to ask casually: "What is your mission? I might be able to plead for leniency for you."
"Kid, you plead for us?" So people laughed out of anger. Did this kid think they were idiots?
Although they weren't clear about the internal structure of this group of people, just from Peter's attire, they could tell the other party's Status was definitely not high.
"I wasn't talking to you..." Little Peter looked at Dego, his nostrils pointing to the sky. It wasn't that he was too arrogant, but Dego was too tall, he could only look up.
Dego saw the fleeting slyness in Little Peter's eyes.
This Little Rascal was very smart. The thought in Dego's mind flashed by, then he looked at Little Peter and smiled: "Then I'll leave it to you, little brother."
Dego could use Little Peter's mouth to test if this matter was feasible, and Little Peter could also use this to increase his sense of presence, a win-win situation.
.........
The heavy tallic Door slowly opened, accompanied by an ear-piercing warning sound.
"Warning, you are about to enter the Energy Core. Please wear protective equipnt to avoid being burned by high temperatures."
Passing through layers of isolation tallic Doors, Li Yu finally arrived at the true Energy Core, which was an extrely spacious area.
Through the high-temperature-resistant glass cover, the Stellar Core Fragnt in the center could be clearly seen, like a small sun, emitting blazing light and heat.
Even with various cooling asures, one could still feel the continuously rising temperature in Space.
However, the people present were not Ordinary Lifeforms. This bit of high temperature couldn't do anything to them.
Li Yu's figure vanished, directly using his Spatial Leap ability to pass through a large amount of protective equipnt in front of him, arriving before the Stellar Core Fragnt.
This Stellar Core Fragnt was slightly larger than the one Li Yu obtained before, and the terrifying high temperature distorted the surrounding space.
It was converted into high-purity energy in a special device and transported to various parts of the experintal Base.
Li Yu reached out his hand, the Titan Colonization Armor covering it, turning into Chaos Color, increasing his defense to support Li Yu in taking down the Stellar Core Fragnt.
As soon as the Stellar Core Fragnt was taken down, the entire experintal Base flashed with red alarms. The lights everywhere rapidly went out, and the backup energy was urgently activated. Dim lights ca on, barely allowing people to see.
His other hand was still holding the Compressed Energy Ball. The two completely different energy aggregates approached slightly, seemingly about to explode.
Li Yu let the Splinter Deploynt Armor temporarily wrap the Stellar Core Fragnt. With the blessing of the Force, it could temporarily barely endure.
A Space Compression Device had a hard ti carrying such an energy aggregate, easily making the Compressed Space extrely unstable, with extrely high risk.
"I have so things to handle. Watch this place before I return." Li Yu instructed Stanley.
"Understood."
Stanley replied in a deep voice, making designated fine-tuning on the internal channel.
Li Yu, anwhile, left the experintal Base and arrived at the distant orbit.
He first threw out the Compressed Energy Ball in his hand. The violent energy explosion expanded, making many Citizens on the Gilbert Main Planet very confused, as if they saw a second small sun.
And the high-energy warning sent the Gilbert Governorate into complete chaos.
Li Yu took out the Stellar Core Fragnt, just like last ti, Copying chanically, and swallowed it directly.
Undergoing Gene Liberation again, he was surrounded by golden Thunder, Magma erged from the Void, and his entire person was enveloped in intense light.
Then the red-gold light began to expand, and Calates reappeared!
The Energy Reaction this ti was far more violent than the last ti. He exploded again, and more people saw the third small sun in the sky.
[Near-Death Rebirth] activated, Li Yu's body rapidly repaired in space, quickly recovering to its original state.
He could clearly feel his own Strength increase slightly again, with a feeling of being almost full.
Opening the genetic detection device, as expected, the Gene Chain Developnt Progress had already reached—98%.
Although it wasn't directly maxed out, using the ntal Tempering Device next, it would only take half a month to max it out.
"Everything is ready, all we need is an east wind." Li Yu muttered. Next, he just had to wait for the Superman Gene brought back by Clone One.
His body turned into Flowing Light, piercing through the Atmosphere, like a teor, preparing to return to the experintal Base.
.........
Anthony looked at the ssage sent on the Smart Terminal, deep thought surfacing in his Snake pupils. Then he took Carol and headed towards a certain direction in the experintal Base.
Gust was waiting leisurely for Li Yu to co knocking, but the sudden energy warning surprised him sowhat.
"Warning, energy depleted, backup energy has been activated, can only be maintained for three hours, please restore energy supply as soon as possible."
Claptrap had already taken over the entire experintal Base, and his subordinates' operating Authority had been stripped away. Gust was completely unaware of what had happened now.
"Energy depleted? The energy in the Stellar Core Fragnt could at least last another ten years, how could it be depleted." Gust was bewildered, and then a guess surfaced: the other party took away the Stellar Core Fragnt?
He felt sowhat ludicrous. Breaching his experintal Base, the first thing they sought wasn't actually him, but the Stellar Core Fragnt?
Although the value of the Stellar Core Fragnt wasn't low, compared to him, it was far inferior.
Boom!
Li Yu landed in the experintal Base again. The ti he left wasn't long, adding up to only about half an hour.
And it was mostly consud on absorbing the Stellar Core Fragnt.
"My Lord, there are a total of 3,752 people in the entire experintal Base. 254 resisted and have been detained, awaiting your disposal." Stanley rapidly stepped forward to report:
"Gust's current location is in the experintal Base control room. The tallic Door has been locked, and he is under our surveillance."
Li Yu nodded, and instructed again: "Notify the people on the Dunbu Starship to bring the Spaceship over, we should leave too."
"Yes..." Stanley rapidly opened his Smart Terminal. Right at this mont, Anthony also found him, and whispered:
"My Lord, I found the target of those Reforrs."
"Oh?" Li Yu raised an eyebrow, looking behind Anthony. It was a haggard-looking youth, not looking very old, with crimson friction marks on his wrists and ankles.
From the surface alone, there was nothing extraordinary about him, but as he slowly raised his head to look at Li Yu, his eyes were first slightly confused, then suddenly shrank, subconsciously saying: "It's you!?"
Because he had just released the Gene Liberation form and activated [Near-Death Rebirth], Li Yu was currently in his original appearance, without any disguise.
"You know ?" Li Yu was slightly surprised. Was his reputation that big now? Even a guy resembling a prisoner recognized him.
"How... did you escape!?" the youth asked excitedly, wanting to step forward but was blocked by Anthony.
"Hmm?" Hearing this sentence, Li Yu narrowed his eyes. The channel through which the other party knew him seed different from what he imagined.
"What do you an how did I escape?" Li Yu asked. Anthony injected this guy with a Nutritional Potion to prevent him from passing out from excitent.
After his initial excitent, the other party gradually cald down and shook his head:
"Like... too alike, but you can't be him, you are too strong, it can't be him."
Li Yu looked at the other party, vague guesses forming in his mind. Could it be related to his obscure Forr Self?
The secret of his Forr Self... the mission of The Reforrs... there seed to be a thread connecting them.
"Friend, you better speak a little clearer, otherwise it will be hard for us to understand," Anthony reminded.
"I should be the person you're talking about." Li Yu said frankly: "But I encountered so accidents later and lost a lot of mories, so my mory of the past isn't clear."
The other party clearly found it hard to believe. He looked Li Yu up and down. He roughly had a guess in his heart about what kind of power was needed to breach this experintal Base.
It had only been five years since that great chaos. How could the other party reach this level?
"I'm called Li Yu now, what's your na?" Li Yu asked proactively.
"Li Yu..." He repeated this na, holding unspeakable envy, then shook his head: "I'm still called Sixteen."
Sixteen?
Li Yu's heart stirred slightly. Generally speaking, using numbers as a naming thod ant they were either Fanatic Operatives or experintal subjects.
Based on the current situation, the other party was more likely an experintal subject.
After pondering for a mont, he asked: "What number was I?"
"You were One..." Sixteen said in a low voice: "The oldest among us."
"Us..." Li Yu paused, and asked again: "What are we? Clone Bodies?"
"No..." Sixteen shook his head: "We were Young Children carefully selected from all over the Star Glory Empire, for the purpose of conducting a certain experint."
Although Li Yu had no requirents regarding this aspect and couldn't change it, hearing that he wasn't a Clone Body still relaxed him quite a bit; at least he didn't have to feel awkward.
Sixteen told him what he knew. He didn't know much either, only a general situation.
He didn't know what experint was being conducted. He didn't know where the Laboratory was located, nor did he know who was behind the Laboratory.
He only knew that their batch had a total of 100 people, but as the experintal process went on, 72 people died.
And during an unknown attack, the experintal Base was destroyed, and they were rescued and taken to various places in the Star Glory Empire.
Sixteen didn't know who saved them, but he rembered a few fragntary words that the experintal Base they were in was only a branch.
There were still quite a few experintal Bases distributed throughout the Star Glory Empire, conducting similar experints.
Sixteen wandered through many places, originally wanting to leave the Star Glory Empire and find a small civilization to live out the rest of his life peacefully.
But he was discovered by the Athyst Civilization and sent here to Gust for research.
"Interesting..." Li Yu finished listening to Sixteen's words, combining it with the information he already knew.
The experint conducted on them must be related to Titans, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to easily complete "Unity of Soul and Flesh".
The mastermind behind the scenes was nine tis out of ten the Loren Family, otherwise they wouldn't have been constantly Covetously Staring at Li Yu.
The one capable of confronting the Loren Family within the Star Glory Empire's borders was not The Reforrs, and highly likely another great noble.
Their goal might not have been to save people, but purely to disrupt the Loren Family's experintal progress.
However, he still had a doubt now. The Reforrs sending people to rescue Sixteen very likely ant they had already investigated Li Yu's origins through so channel.
But according to the agreent made between the two parties back then, after The Reforrs found out his origins, they should have told Li Yu in exchange for Cree and Keri.
Yet now The Reforrs hadn't contacted him, but were secretly rescuing Sixteen. This was interesting.
What exactly did The Reforrs find out that made them change their minds, preparing not to notify Li Yu, but choosing to act on their own?
