Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 386 - 140 Harvest, Disguise_4

However, things don’t always go as planned.

Chen Ming continued to scroll through the series of voice messages his boss had just left on the terminal.

The messages continued up until he gained the upper hand in his battle with the mutated flesh, slicing it apart and dragging it within the high walls of the research facility.

At this point, the boss suddenly paused and sent the final message.

And this message was sent precisely at the moment a crack appeared on the mutated heart.

"Do not look at that crack!"

In this last voice message, Chen Ming could hear the urgency in his boss’s voice, but unfortunately, he saw the message only now.

But at least the final outcome was the same.

The mutated flesh was dead, while he was still alive.

There was no further follow-up.

Chen Ming’s consciousness was dragged into the consciousness space, preventing him from continuing to send messages to his boss.

The boss didn’t know whether Chen Ming was alive or dead, and could only wait for Chen Ming’s subsequent actions.

And when Chen Ming emerged from the consciousness space, he momentarily forgot to contact his boss.

Better to report his safety first.

Chen Ming was about to re-establish contact with his boss.

Suddenly, he noticed that the spiritual energy fluctuations around him were dissipating, and soon this situation would be exposed, visible to Dusk.

The Spiritual Stone and such had returned to Chen Ming’s hands; Dusk couldn’t take it back now.

But if the core of G3 was seen, Dusk probably wouldn’t just sit still, and it was likely the core wouldn’t remain secure.

To prevent certain events, Chen Ming quickly sent away the Alpha Level core left by G3 with spiritual energy.

However, what he’s doing now is quite a special scenario because Chen Ming is currently unable to "transform" an existing Dusk core with consciousness.

He couldn’t use this capability to transmit the Dusk individual over a distance.

It was simply because the core from G3 had lost the consciousness within it.

So, Chen Ming could treat this core purely as a mechanical object and send it away.

Chen Ming hastily tidied up the area, dismantling and transforming the leftover materials from the battle and sending them away.

He gathered everything else, verified all the spoils of war were in order, and assured the boss he was okay, mentioning he was a bit busy now.

Then, Chen Ming went straight inside the research facility teeming with desiccated flesh.

Feigning ignorance, he felt his way towards the Spirit Awakening Nerve Extractor, which, in his perception, was still intact.

He needed to present a certain facade in front of Dusk to cover his previous sudden actions, to prevent Dusk from discovering his true intention.

The Spirit Awakening Nerve Extractor was the best disguise.

Along the way in the research facility, Chen Ming pretended to saw open the doors of several rooms with tools.

Incidentally, in one of the rooms, he found a Silent Alloy box carelessly discarded on the floor, which he had used to hold the Whispering Stone he couldn’t control precisely before.

Chen Ming placed the Amber he just acquired into it.

This box doesn’t just prevent spiritual energy fluctuation from leaking out; it also shields against many external probes.

Even if Dusk saw the Amber in his hand, they may not necessarily grab it, but an extra layer of precaution is always wise.

Then Chen Ming arrived at the entrance of the Spirit Awakening Nerve Extractor.

Coincidentally, at this moment, the spiritual energy fluctuations completely dissipated, and the communication interference also ended.

The previously dark research facility intermittently illuminated by a few emergency lights, dimly lighting up the interior environment.

The few surviving cameras, not destroyed by the pervasive flesh, unanimously focused on Chen Ming, as if wanting to zoom in on his face.

And the voice of Brilliant came through the undamaged communication devices within the Cloning Research Institute to Chen Ming’s ears.

"Mr. Chen Ming, what are you doing?"
