Xia Chujian spoke as she walked into the fifth floor warehouse filled with weapons and equipment, and found the Chi Yang Fire device according to Seven Lù's instructions.
It was a foot-long white stick-like object that looked like a police baton.
One end of the stick was carved with an Exotic Beast with round eyes, a high nose, and cat ears.
Its wide-open mouth was the opening of the stick.
The other end was a handle, wrapped in a piece of cyan material of unknown origin, which could be held in the hand.
In the middle of the palm was a switch, very simple, without any technical content.
Xia Chujian looked at the thing suspiciously, and asked Seven Lù, "Are you sure this thing can remove all the remaining Mental Strength spores of this Son of Forrest?"
Seven Lù said, "This is a Chi Yang Fire Emitter. It is said to be a fire seed preserved from the ancient Chi Dragon. It is the most powerful and masculine fire, and can destroy all evil."
Xia Chujian: "..."
"Seven Lù, this doesn't sound like something you would say."
"You are a Mechanical Intelligence! Not a celestial master who catches ghosts and exorcises evil spirits!"
"Have you been reading supernatural webnovels again recently?"
Seven Lù said cutely, "...Master, supernatural novels are very good!"
"Master didn't say you can't read supernatural novels..."
"And Seven Lù only reads the small webnovels downloaded before, and learned a lot of knowledge!"
Xia Chujian scoffed: "I think your useless knowledge has increased again..."
"Seven Lù, you can read them, but you are not allowed to tell me about supernatural novels, understand?"
Seven Lù: "..."
As Xia Chujian spoke, she took the Chi Yang Fire Emitter and returned to the Warplane warehouse hall outside.
That "Son of Forrest" was still lying there stiffly.
Xia Chujian first tried spraying it with the Chi Yang Fire Emitter.
She sprayed a raised sharp corner of the landing gear of Pei Zijing's Starship Airship.
Her thumb pressed on the raised switch, and in the next second, a red-to-white flame burst out.
The sharp corner of the landing gear was instantly carbonized, vaporized, and split into the smallest unit particles that make up objects in the universe.
Of course, Xia Chujian couldn't see this decomposition process, she just wondered: "...Is that all it takes?"
Seven Lù said seriously in a milky voice: "That's all it takes! Master can start spraying!"
Xia Chujian: "..."
That sounded terrible.
Of course, she knew that Seven Lù didn't mean that.
However, Xia Chujian was still a little uncertain, and asked: "Are you sure that this can completely destroy the remaining Mental Strength spores of the Son of Forrest? Won't they be in the air?"
"Also, what about the Mother of Forrest's Mental Strength spores? Will they still be in the air, looking for the next parasitic target?"
Did she have to spray the entire hall? Seven Lù said: "According to Seven Lù's database, the Son of Forrest's Mental Strength spores cannot exist in the air, they must be transmitted from one carbon-based lifeform to another carbon-based lifeform."
"And the Mother of Forrest's Mental Strength spores can only survive in the air for three seconds, and can only truly survive by attaching to the body of a carbon-based lifeform."
Xia Chujian thought, if that was the case, how did the Mother of Forrest's Mental Strength spores get on Pei Zijing? Could it be that the only Mother of Forrest with reproductive ability was near Pei Zijing?
But thinking about it carefully, it was impossible.
Because if the most powerful guy was among them, it would have infected and parasitized everyone long ago...
And it wouldn't have been unable to take down Pei Zijing, a Mental Strength Rank A Peak Gene Evolver.
So, definitely, this Mother of Forrest was not here.
Its reproductive Mental Strength spores were preserved by someone using special means, and then attached to Pei Zijing.
Who this person was, she had to keep an eye on it.
Xia Chujian's eyes flickered slightly as she said casually, "...From the time I killed it until now, three seconds have long passed, right? But, what if it attached itself to someone else?"
Seven Lù was silent, and after a while, said, "Master, Seven Lù has said that only the Mother of Forrest has the ability to reproduce and produce new Sons of Forrest."
"What Seven Lù is worried about is that there are still residual Mental Strength spores from the Mother of Forrest on it..."
But this was already very limited, and there would be no possibility of a large number of Mental Strength spores scattering into the air and then parasitizing and reproducing.
Xia Chujian nodded, "I'll believe you for now."
She raised the Chi Yang Fire Emitter in her hand and aimed it at the Crocodile Lizard Snake Monster on the ground.
But before pressing the switch again, Xia Chujian asked, "Seven Lù, will this fire burn off its outer skin?"
Seven Lù said in a cute voice, "It won't! It will only burn off the Mental Strength spores, it won't burn its skin..."
Xia Chujian took a deep breath, and then pressed the Chi Yang Fire Emitter switch.
Just like before, a red-white flame burst out of the emitter, enveloping the Crocodile Lizard Snake Monster "Son of Forrest" lying on the ground.
Xia Chujian clearly saw that the "Son of Forrest", which had been as stiff as a piece of dry wood just now, was actually twisting and struggling violently in the flames...
"Holy crap! It was also playing dead just now!" Xia Chujian thought the monster wasn't dead just now.
She asked doubtfully, "Seven Lù, why didn't it run just now? I left the hall to find the Chi Yang Fire Emitter."
Seven Lù said, "It wasn't playing dead, this is a natural spasm reaction from being burned by the Chi Yang Fire."
Xia Chujian: "...Okay, I have no experience, I learned something this time."
After she sprayed the Chi Yang Fire three times, the floor of the Warplane Warehouse hall was thinned by a layer.
Seven Lù said, "Okay, now we can be sure that there are definitely no residual Mental Strength spores from the Mother of Forrest on it."
Xia Chujian looked at the Son of Forrest, after being washed by the Chi Yang Fire, its scales were as bright as the best obsidian, and there was a hint of cooked meat aroma, she couldn't help but swallow.
She whispered, "Seven Lù, can the Son of Forrest be eaten?"
Seven Lù: "??? Master, what are you asking?"
Xia Chujian coughed, "I mean, crocodile meat, lizard meat, and snake meat are actually quite delicious."
"This guy looks like a crocodile, a lizard, and a snake, so is the taste a combination of all the best?"
Seven Lù: "..."
It seems that useless knowledge has increased again!
Damn it!
It doesn't have a mouth, it can't eat!
In a moment of silence, Seven Lù suddenly changed the subject, "Master, Marshal Huo's Bat-style Fighter Jet is approaching, is it here to pick up the master?"
Xia Chujian remembered that Kang Shanxing would arrive soon, and hurriedly said, "Have you contacted our Cruiser?"
Seven Lù whispered, "...Master, Seven Lù is not connected to the Mechanical Intelligence of this Starry Sky Cruiser right now."
Xia Chujian came back to her senses and said, "Okay, then I will connect to the Mechanical Intelligence here."
The Mechanical Intelligence that comes with this Starry Sky Cruiser is certainly not as powerful as Seven Lù.
It can only perform tasks according to a set program, and its communication with people is also a fixed program.
Xia Chujian entered the command on the Cruiser's Captain control platform.
[Captain Xia Chujian]: Falcon D1, connect to the Bat-style Fighter Jet in front.
[Falcon D1]: Yes, Captain, connecting.
Then there was a period of "beep——", indicating that it was connecting.
Time required: five minutes.
Xia Chujian thought, Colonel Kang said he would be here in twenty minutes, and now there are five minutes left.
As a result, the Starry Sky Cruiser Mechanical Intelligence of this Falcon D1 takes five minutes to connect...
Okay, in these five minutes, she still has to do something.
She completely sealed off the fifth floor, then went to the fourth floor.
The fourth floor was the compartment where the Starry Sky Marines were located.
Xia Chujian had put them all into hibernation earlier.
Now, she first activated the Starry Sky Cruiser's hibernation release device to wake them up.
A minute later, these people woke up one after another.
Seeing Xia Chujian in her Mecha standing in front of them, they immediately got up from the ground, lined up, and saluted her.
Xia Chujian explained to them, "Fellow soldiers, I apologize for today. There was an emergency on the fifth floor, and I had to force you all into hibernation."
"Now, I'll show you the fifth floor and see if you recognize that thing."
As she spoke, Xia Chujian turned on the virtual display screen on the fourth floor, showing the situation in the Fifth Floor Warplane Warehouse hall.
The appearance of the two-meter-long Crocodile Lizard Snake Monster was so obvious that the Starry Sky Marines immediately burst into an uproar.
"Holy crap! What is that thing?!"
"Is that a crocodile, a lizard, or a snake?"
"A fart?! It's clearly a Humanoid! Only Humanoids have these characteristics!"
"It looks like a crocodile, a lizard, and a snake... Which ancestor is this? What kind of Humanoid is so powerful?"
"...Never seen it before! How did this thing get on our Cruiser?!"
"Did it come from the Bodhi Leaf Star Pirates' Starship?"
"...Or was it brought in from the base's Warplanes or Airships?"
Xia Chujian's heart stirred. That's right, I didn't even think about where this thing came from just now! I was just busy fighting...
Fortunately, Xia Chujian was still wearing her helmet and mask, so others couldn't see her slightly flushed face.
She coughed lightly and said, "That's not important. What's important is that this is not a Humanoid."
"Do you know anything special about this thing?"
The Starry Sky Marines shook their heads together.
1st Squad Captain Sun Jiahao said, "Captain, this thing looks ominous at first glance."
"We Starry Sky Marines are not Gene Evolvers, so we don't have the chance to see these things at all."
Xia Chujian thought about it and realized it made sense.
When she was at the Special Security Bureau Branch Station in Mulan City, Guiyuan Star, Kang Shanxing had questioned her.
At that time, she wasn't even a Special Security Bureau staff member yet.
Kang Shanxing told her that before their Dark Night Hunter Team encountered a Remnant Species last year, the Beichen Empire had only encountered Remnant Species three times in total.
They should all have been in cities within the Beichen Empire, not on the Starry Sky Battlefield.
So it was completely normal for these Starry Sky Marines not to have seen one.
But thinking about it this way, Xia Chujian began to hesitate again.
Remnant Species, which had only appeared three times before, were appearing too frequently in the past year, weren't they?
How many times had she encountered them alone? This is the first update. A very large chapter will be added at 1 p.m.
