Star Ocean: Starting From the Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 220 Escape?

Song Pu got news of the failure of his men's pursuit of Cheng Xinghai just as Chen Ming rushed into the airport.

When the spaceship Cheng Xinghai boarded took off, he knew that they could no longer pursue Cheng Xinghai.

The reason is the same as what Cheng Xinghai said.

It is because of the limitations of the rebels' current situation.

But he didn't tell the bad news just now.

After all, Chen Ming was also in an emergency situation, and telling him bad news wouldn't be helpful.

It was only now that Chen Ming was safe that he revealed the news.

Engineer Hong Guanghong immediately said on the communication channel: "This simulated battle that will last for a month has just begun. It is unlikely that the beginning will directly create a fatal situation."

"Even if you give the order immediately, as long as the person reacts quickly enough, it is normal for him to run away. There is no need to blame yourself. Since the psyker is back, just treat it as a normal start."

Chen Ming suddenly realized Hong Guanghong's problem when he said this, and said: "If you look at it the other way around, if the time is delayed for too long, it may make it more difficult to escape, like what I just did."

His sense of smell was not very sensitive for this kind of battle, so his reaction was half a beat too slow, and he was finally blocked outside the airport.

If he could have set off a few minutes earlier, he might have run away without any disturbance like Cheng Xinghai did.

Song Pu immediately said: "It's not your problem, it's that I was too slow to remind you. I should have read it as soon as I saw the spy's documents placed in such a conspicuous position. If I saw Cheng Xinghai's information, I would have read it as soon as possible." Just remind you."

Hong Guanghong suddenly interrupted at this time and said: "Okay, don't share the pot, let's discuss the plan after the psychic comes back."

"good."

Song Pu agreed decisively and did not waste time on dividing the pot.

However, Chen Ming interrupted at this time: "Wait a minute, I remember you said that the positions of Cheng Xinghai and I are actually opposite. We are both in a position where the hostile force is close to our own force's territory, and we are The distance between them isn’t that far, right?”

"right."

"Then I have an idea..."

Chen Ming's thoughts are obvious when combined with what he just said.

The few people who had just seen Chen Ming's jump operation in hyperspace through the spy means arranged by Song Pu also understood the situation instantly.

But Song Pu did not support Chen Ming's idea: "It is best not to attack civilians' spaceships. Once you leave any traces on the spacecraft, we will be very passive."

Chen Ming knew Song Pu's concerns and said, "The spaceship is my home ground, and I will not leave any traces."

Song Pu emphasized again: "If there is a problem with the people on the spacecraft, any small problem will be fermented by the government forces and have a great impact on us."

"The risks are great, but the benefits are unequal."

"There is no way Cheng Xinghai can compare with the most basic supporters of our rebels at present, unless... you are absolutely sure."

"Can you accurately find Cheng Xinghai on a spaceship with thousands of civilians, and kill or capture her without alerting anyone or leaving any traces?"

"There is no need for everyone to keep silent. As long as there is no substantive evidence such as videos, photos or recordings, can you do it?"

Chen Ming gave an affirmative answer: "Believe me, there are many things about my spiritual power that you don't know about."

Song Pu fell into thinking again and said after a moment of silence: "The risk is still very high, but I agree."

Hong Guanghong and Dong Miao responded quickly.

"I agree."

"No comment"

Cheng Xinghe also sent a sentence in the terminal after a while: "1."

"Everyone agrees, then I will send you the coordinates."

Chen Ming's special terminal quickly received a series of digital coordinates. These were the channel coordinates of the civilian passenger ship Cheng Xinghai was traveling on.

With a little calculation, Chen Ming could figure out the current location of the passenger ship. It was about a quarter of the way along the route, and it wouldn't take long for it to leave the area actually controlled by the rebels.

When the ship was about to arrive at the junction of the areas actually controlled by the government forces and the rebels, it was the time for Chen Ming to take action.

The hyperspace channel jump system is ready.

Chen Ming activated the hyperspace jump system, and a moment later, he appeared in the target alleyway, close to the side of the rebel-occupied area.

All he has to do now is wait quietly for his prey to arrive at its predetermined location.

After all, Chen Ming had been a hunter for a while, so he had a lot of patience.

While waiting, some spacecraft would pass through this channel from time to time, but no spacecraft could spot Chen Ming's spacecraft.

On the one hand, the detection systems of those civilian ships were relatively weak. On the other hand, when Chen Ming built his own spacecraft, he used isolation scanning materials from a spacecraft he found at the airport that seemed to be involved in smuggling business.

With Chen Ming also shutting down the engine and all systems that would lead to the discovery of the spacecraft, it was indeed difficult to detect it by sticking to the edge of the channel and those rolling hyperspace clouds.

It was this scene that suddenly made Chen Ming feel familiar.

He seems to have done this before.

However, Chen Ming used to be a pirate, but now Chen Ming is Cheng Xinghai.

Speaking of which, the last time Chen Ming went to fight a pirate, it seemed that he was helping his boss to fight a pirate who had intercepted his colony's supplies without a long eye.

It was after that time that Chen Ming and his boss gradually became closer, and began to have some relations that were not just about interests.

Just as Chen Ming was thinking about some strange things while waiting.

The sensor of Chen Ming's spacecraft finally found his target.

The civilian passenger ship, like other passing spacecraft, did not notice Chen Ming's existence at all, and was heading towards the destination at the highest speed it could reach in the channel.

Chen Ming immediately set off and boarded a shuttle that could only carry one person and was also made of isolation materials. He approached the civilian passenger ship at the lowest power.

After adjusting the direction and gradually accelerating to the same speed as the civilian passenger ship, Chen Ming's psychic power was activated, and several mechanical arms instantly extended from the shuttle, hanging the shuttle on the bottom of the civilian passenger ship.

Chen Ming did not need the passenger ship to open the docking interface, and directly reached out and pressed on the top of his head, and a layer of waves like the surface of the water instantly appeared on the bottom shell of the passenger ship.

Chen Ming jumped lightly, and the whole person easily entered the semi-liquid hull.

The shuttle mounted on the bottom of the spacecraft turned into liquid metal after Chen Ming completely entered the passenger ship, drifting in the space, and was soon thrown off by the passenger ship.

Chen Ming took over the entire spacecraft smoothly without affecting the function of the spacecraft itself.

And through the monitoring system, he found the cabin where Cheng Xinghai, who was marked by Song Pu, was.

Chen Ming needed everything to be stable without any traces that would be recorded by others, so the impact would naturally be as small as possible.

So Chen Ming did not appear directly in the cabin where Cheng Xinghai was, but appeared in the bathroom separated from her cabin by a corridor.

He had prepared an electromagnetic pistol in his hand that fired steel needles thinner than hair silently.

This thing is best for assassination.

Chen Ming suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart, because he never thought that there would be such a day.

In the past, others would assassinate him, but he never expected that one day it would be his turn to assassinate others. For some reason, he was even a little excited now.

However, the gun in Chen Ming's hand was only the last resort.

The most stable assassination method still had to rely on Chen Ming's own psychic power and the spaceship he controlled.

Of course, Chen Ming was not referring to the rough method that would definitely leave traces, such as breaking the porthole of the spaceship directly.

Instead, he used the tiny metal liquid he controlled, which was refined to the level of atoms that were invisible to the naked eye, to directly penetrate into Cheng Xinghai's heart or brain, and directly kill her after condensation.

However, Chen Ming discovered a problem at this moment before the action, and his idea seemed to be impossible to realize.

Because the simulation was not yet so detailed.

Although there were many details in this simulation, and all NPCs had extremely human behaviors.

But it was still a bit too exaggerated to want details at the atomic level.

Chen Ming could not do this at all in the simulation.

Since this method failed, if Chen Ming still wanted to continue to use psychic power to assassinate Cheng Xinghai, he could only choose to use a small amount of metal liquid.

But if it is a small amount, it will be a bit unstable.

A small amount of metal liquid cannot directly penetrate the skin like atoms.

So Chen Ming must make the metal liquid into something like a steel needle to kill people, which is almost the same as using a steel needle gun directly.

Moreover, Chen Ming's psychic power can only control the metal liquid to make certain things, and make some changes to the shape and position of the metal liquid.

His psychic power may not be able to control the metal liquid to accelerate to the point where it can kill Cheng Xinghai with one blow.

Moreover, if Cheng Xinghai is a little more vigilant, he can always notice the changes in the surrounding environment.

Once Cheng Xinghai finds a problem, any subsequent actions are likely to leave evidence in the eyes of others.

"Well... why not use this thing."

Chen Ming turned off the safety of the electromagnetic steel needle gun, hid it in his clothes, and walked out of the bathroom in ordinary casual clothes.

The corridor outside the bathroom is connected to a passenger cabin separated by a door on both sides.

There is a small window on the door, and you can see the appearance of the passenger cabin.

Chen Ming can stick to the door of one of the doors and see Cheng Xinghai's position through the small window.

To be honest,

If Song Pu hadn't reminded him in advance, Chen Ming would have seen Cheng Xinghai's makeup on the surveillance camera.

Chen Ming almost didn't recognize that this ordinary young woman with makeup was the lively Cheng Xinghai.

After silently sighing at the awesomeness of the evil magic, Chen Ming raised his gun and aimed it at the back of Cheng Xinghai's head.

But just before he pulled the trigger, Cheng Xinghai suddenly stood up.

Chen Ming didn't have the confidence to hit the target stably, so he immediately put away his gun, and his heartbeat unconsciously accelerated slightly.

But he calmed down immediately.

Cheng Xinghai couldn't possibly find him, all the authority of the entire spacecraft had fallen into his hands, and all the communications on the spacecraft were monitored by Chen Ming at all times.

Except for a special terminal that Cheng Xinghai should also have, everything on the entire spacecraft could not escape Chen Ming's eyes.

Cheng Xinghai suddenly made a move now, probably just because he had something to do.

Just when Chen Ming was thinking this, Cheng Xinghai suddenly turned around and walked towards the corridor where Chen Ming was now, holding a cosmetic box in his hand, as if he wanted to go to the bathroom to touch up his makeup.

This was simply God's help, which could completely minimize the impact of his future actions.

Chen Ming also retreated and came to a small corner on the other side of the corridor for people to smoke.

He lit a cigarette that he had picked up when he was controlling someone else's spaceship on the planet before, and prepared to pretend that he was just a smoker.

However, something unexpected happened to Chen Ming again.

He had never smoked before, and he originally thought that smoking in the simulation would not be a problem.

But when he took the first puff into his lungs, the thick smoke and the burning feeling in his lungs instantly made Chen Ming cough violently.

When Cheng Xinghai appeared in the corridor, she immediately noticed the person who was coughing violently in the corner in front of her.

But she just frowned, did not notice the appearance of the person with his back to her, and continued to walk into the bathroom.

Cheng Xinghai stood in front of the mirror and took out the terminal. She quickly broke an ID card that had been ejected from the terminal and quickly inserted another card into the terminal in her hand.

Then she removed her makeup, untied the headband on her head, revealed her original appearance, and immediately put on a mask.

At the same time, she gently pulled her shoulders and took off her heavy coat, leaving a lighter and more convenient sportswear.

Cheng Xinghai's movements were very fast, and the total time of these movements was only a dozen seconds.

After confirming that there was no problem, Cheng Xinghai casually threw the clothes on the sink in a compartment, turned around and prepared to leave the bathroom and walk to another passenger cabin.

It seemed that she wanted to change to a new identity directly on the spacecraft to avoid being tracked when she landed.

However, just as she turned around and left the mirror.

She suddenly noticed that the light from the passenger cabin behind her suddenly dimmed a little.

Cheng Xinghai turned her head back instantly and found that the small window on the door behind her that she had just passed by had been covered with a layer of gauze-like texture, making it impossible to see the situation on the other side.

And the isolation door itself seemed to be thickened a lot, and the wall seemed to have become a little bloated.

The same change happened to the door in front of Cheng Xinghai that Cheng Xinghai was about to pass.

At this time, there was only one person in the corridor besides her.

Cheng Xinghai looked at the coughing person in the corner with vigilance.

His body was tense and could explode at any time.

This was indeed what Chen Ming did.

He cut off the connection between this room and other rooms and temporarily turned the corridor into a closed place.

The sound would not be transmitted, and people outside could not open the door. If it was only broken for a few minutes, it would not have any major impact.

While coughing, Chen Ming raised the electromagnetic steel needle gun, pointed it at Cheng Xinghai and said: "Cough... cough cough, you... cough... OK."

At this moment, Cheng Xinghai immediately thought of the situation in which Chen Ming's spaceship jumped directly in hyperspace after seeing Chen Ming's appearance clearly, and instantly figured out how Chen Ming got here.

Cheng Xinghai raised his hands, slowly pressed against the wall of the corridor on one side, and said: "You have never smoked?"

"No... cough..."

Chen Ming coughed and turned the muzzle of the gun. After a long time, he finally got rid of the pain in his lungs from smoking.

"Are you surrendering or..."

Before Chen Ming finished speaking, Cheng Xinghai finally walked to the wall at this moment.

Her slender legs kicked against the wall, and she instantly burst out in the corridor at a terrifying speed for Chen Ming's physical fitness.

Chen Ming didn't even have time to control the metal liquid flowing out of the hull to restrict Cheng Xinghai, Cheng Xinghai had already dodged and pounced in front of Chen Ming in the narrow corridor.

"Fuck!"

Is Cheng Xinghai still a human being with this physical fitness?

Chen Ming retreated while pulling the trigger continuously, but Cheng Xinghai could often react in the instant before Chen Ming fired.

Often, before Chen Ming's fingers were completely closed, his body would lean slightly, easily dodging several rapidly flying steel needles, and rushing in front of Chen Ming, slapping the gun out of his hand.

At the same time, a punch with a sound of breaking through the air hit Chen Ming's face.

Chen Ming's thinking speed was indeed able to see Cheng Xinghai's movements clearly, but his body could not react.

The spiritual energy that enhanced physical fitness was obtained from the Queen of Insects. Although the prosthesis could have it, it would definitely not have it in the simulation.

This seemingly petite fist could definitely give him a concussion with one punch.

However, Chen Ming's prosthesis was at least the same physical fitness as Chen Ming. Chen Ming himself carried tools weighing more than ten kilograms every day and had been exercising all the time.

Although it was definitely not as fierce as the training methods in the army, Chen Ming's physical fitness was definitely better than that of most ordinary people.

It was not to the point that he could not even withstand a face-to-face encounter.

So Chen Ming could still do the most appropriate and fastest action he could do at this moment.

That was to squat on the ground with his head in his arms without saying a word and roll backwards.

Although Cheng Xinghai does not look tall and has no obvious muscles, his physical fitness is a level higher than Chen Ming's. He will definitely not be able to win in a head-on fight, so he has to use other means.

Chen Ming retreated to avoid, but Cheng Xinghai continued to step forward and twisted his body flexibly.

The body that had just exploded with terrifying speed drove the seemingly slender but fiercely impacting whip kick to the neck of Chen Ming who was half squatting on the ground.

Chen Ming's current action was just right for Cheng Xinghai's height to exert force.

If this kick was real, Chen Ming might even be kicked to death, and it would be considered lucky if he was knocked unconscious.

Chen Ming stood there without any movement, and it seemed that he did not react, and seemed to have given up struggling.

But in the next moment.

In the corridor, there was a sound of flesh and metal colliding.

Cheng Xinghai's kick hit Chen Ming's neck, who was condensed with power armor all over his body.

Chen Ming's head tilted slightly under the impact, and at this moment he seemed to hear a crisp sound of broken bones.

Cheng Xinghai immediately fell to the ground with a bitter look on her face, but she still struggled to crawl towards the pistol that she had just knocked away.

However, liquid metal immediately flowed out from the ground of the ship, and the pistol that fell on the ground was directly lifted up and sent to Chen Ming's hand.

Along with some liquid metal that appeared out of thin air, a new electromagnetic javelin was gradually constructed.

Cheng Xinghai saw that the situation was not right and there was no possibility of a comeback. He slowly raised his body to block the small movement of his hand towards the cosmetic box.

She pulled out a steel needle from the position of the box's rotating shaft and pretended to stab herself.

However, the surveillance in the corridor has always been in Chen Ming's field of vision, and Cheng Xinghai's movements are invisible in his eyes.

The liquid metal immediately grabbed Cheng Xinghai's arm and cast into a piece of pure iron, handcuffing her like handcuffs.

Chen Ming saw Cheng Xinghai's burst of speed just now and didn't have time to react. Now that he has reacted, it will be easy to solve.

He was wearing a power armor, and faced Cheng Xinghai, who was almost unarmed and even had a broken leg, almost face to face.

If Chen Ming still couldn't beat him, he really had to jump into space without wearing a protective suit.

Up to this point, Cheng Xinghai had completely lost the ability to resist, but the next step was a bit difficult.

However, Bai Quan's voice appeared in the ears of Chen Ming and Cheng Xinghai at this moment, reminding them: "In the simulation, there is no need to search the opposite sex enemy. Let her take out the special terminal on her body by herself. There is nothing else except this."

This is easy to deal with.

After Cheng Xinghai reluctantly handed her special terminal to Chen Ming.

A large amount of metal liquid instantly flowed out from the ground of the spacecraft and wrapped Cheng Xinghai, and put a protective suit on her.

Chen Ming bent down and grabbed the belt of Cheng Xinghai's protective suit to pick her up and put her on his shoulder.

He took her directly through the hull of the spacecraft next to him and entered the space.

The thickened doors on both sides of the corridor were restored to their original state after Chen Ming left, and the walls pierced by the steel needles also excluded the steel needles, leaving no trace.

This section of the corridor surveillance video was forged by Chen Ming using technical means, and all records were deleted.

Even the clothes that Cheng Xinghai had just hung on the sink in the women's restroom were fished out by Chen Ming using his psychic power.

Except that Cheng Xinghai did disappear on the spaceship, there was no evidence of Chen Ming's presence on the entire spaceship.

And the disappearance of people is too common. The disappearance of one person can't make any waves in the scale of the entire star field, even Cheng Xinghai.

Even if the government army wants to use this as an excuse for propaganda, it's useless.

The disappearance of Cheng Xinghai, a civilian, can only be exchanged for a sentence that this matter is unremarkable.

Cheng Xinghai, a spy, was captured by the rebels. Isn't that reasonable?

The government army can only choose to swallow this loss now.
