Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 593: Defection (3 updates)

Yang Xiao had lived in the mining field for a week. During this week, he and everyone tried many ways to figure out how to use the Purple Origin Crystal Stones, but to no avail.

These crystal stones could not be directly used by the human body.

Luo Meng urged Yang Xiao to head back to the base for rest, so they could play chess at night.

Yang Xiao returned to the base to rest every night as he used to, accompanying Luo Meng and Yuri in chess, and spending the rest of his time cultivating the Body Refinement and Bone Forging from the Genetic Transformation Technique, as well as the Yijin Scripture from Shaolin Temple.

The few bottles of Genetic Potion that Luo Meng gave Yang Xiao had also been consumed, but the effects were mediocre, barely increasing his Genetic Attribute by 1 point.

Yang Xiao's four Genetic Attributes were now 66 points each, still a fair distance away from breaking through to King Level.

If he could normally use the Black Bottle to refine the corpse of the two-headed crocodile, it was estimated that eating about fifty such Monsters would allow him to break through to King Level.

Of course, Yang Xiao would rather delay than expose the mysterious Black Bottle.

Life returned to normal.

Ever since Luo Meng defeated Duan Mang in chess last time, his reputation in the base had soared, with countless people coming to challenge him in chess.

Luo Meng found it difficult to refuse, and feeling somewhat proud, spent most of his evenings playing Go with his colleagues at the base, and the time he played against Yang Xiao had actually decreased.

Yuri, on the other hand, insisted on playing two games of Go with Yang Xiao every evening, and her skill had already surpassed that of Luo Meng.

During the process of playing chess, Yang Xiao's spiritual power also improved. Before, Yang Xiao could only control one chess piece to fly, but now he could control three pieces to float and fly simultaneously.

Luo Meng and the others had stronger spiritual power than Yang Xiao, able to control over ten chess pieces to fly at once, and those ten chess pieces could fly in different directions.

As for this mysterious spiritual power, Yang Xiao felt it was somewhat like the Force in the Star Wars movies, never expecting to actually witness it in reality— and now he himself possessed such an ability.

Every day after returning to the base with Luo Meng, Yang Xiao would enter Luo Meng's private room to rest until leaving the next morning.

For a human Miner from Earth, most people didn't pay much attention to Yang Xiao, treating him as Luo Meng's personal assistant or something like a Servant.

The girl who brought dinner and breakfast to Yang Xiao every day was quite respectful towards him.

Over time, they became familiar with each other.

The girl's name was Lucy.

Lucy would occasionally sit down and chat with Yang Xiao—like tonight, when she came to bring dinner, Yang Xiao saw her eyes were red and swollen, so he asked:

"Lucy, what happened, have you been crying?"

"No."

"Your eyes are red and swollen; you definitely cried. What happened?"

Lucy paused for a moment, stood next to Yang Xiao's table, and kept her head down without speaking.

Yang Xiao handed her a cup of water,

"Sit down and have a drink."

Lucy glanced at Yang Xiao, sat down, picked up the cup, and took a gentle sip.

Yang Xiao ate his meal while Lucy watched silently.

"It seems you have something on your mind. If it's convenient, you can talk to me. I might not be able to help you, but I can be your audience, listen to your heart. Some things, once spoken, can make you feel better."

Lucy bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly:

"Young Master Yang, where do you come from?"

"Earth."

"Earth?"

Lucy shook her head, indicating she had not heard of it.

Yang Xiao put down his spoon and sighed,

"Earth is a beautiful planet, very far from here. Even travelling at a thousand times the speed of light, it would take over thirty days by spaceship. Do you understand?"

Lucy nodded.

"What about you? Which planet are you from?"

"Gamma Planet."

"Gamma Planet?"

This time it was Yang Xiao who shook his head.

Yang Xiao's heart stirred, and he asked:

"This is Purple Origin Star, you're from Gamma Star, could it be that you're not a native of this planet?"

"No, I was captured and brought here. I am like you, we are both their servants."

Yang Xiao: "..."

Yang Xiao had always thought that Lucy was a native of Purple Origin Planet, but he never expected that her fate was the same as his, also captured and brought here.

"How far is Gamma Star from here?"

"It's close. With a spaceship that travels at a thousand times the speed of light, it only takes ten days to get there."

"Are there many people on your planet? Has everyone been conquered?"

"There are many people on our planet. They come over in their spaceships each time, only wanting the girls, and then they transport us here to serve them."

Lucy said, her eyes reddening again.

Yang Xiao could tell that Lucy's mention of serving them didn't just mean making tea or doing manual labor; it certainly included the service of sleeping with them.

"What's your Genetic Evolution Level?"

Lucy shook her head,

"I'm just an ordinary person. I don't have the ability for Genetic Evolution, and moreover, no one on Gamma Planet has the Genetic Evolution Ability."

Yang Xiao was surprised once again.

Now the situation had gotten a bit more complicated. The Lucy in front of him came from another conquered planet, yet the people of this planet did not possess the Genetic Evolution Ability.

That is to say, Lucy's male compatriots were incapable of mining, which is why Luo Meng and his crew prefer to abduct the females from Gamma Planet to work as maids.

Lucy took a sip of water and stood up,

"I have to go now, Young Master Yang, be careful; they are very cruel and can kill you over the slightest dissatisfaction."

After saying this, she turned and hurriedly left.

Yang Xiao didn't need Lucy to remind him of the cruelty of Luo Meng and the others; he had already been very aware of it in his heart.

Their capacity to eliminate billions of people on Earth overnight was enough to prove that they were a group who were beastly and devoid of humanity.

However, Yang Xiao was not yet capable of hatred.

To put it accurately, he didn't have the power to hate; what he could do now was only to endure.

Yang Xiao estimated, with his current level in Go, Luo Meng wouldn't be his match even if he continued playing for another three years. Luo Meng needed a master like him to hone his spiritual power, which meant he was temporarily safe.

As long as Du Tianxing and the others didn't cause trouble and just mined honestly, with him supporting them on the side, they too were temporarily safe.

The current problem was how to break free from the control of Luo Meng and others,

And how to escape the control of this base.

Even if he now had the power to kill everyone in the base,

Then what?

What should he do next? Where to go?

Thinking about these things gave him a headache. With Yang Xiao's current power to confront the terrifying force of this planet, it was simply like dreaming.

"Ah, better to just stay alive for now and slowly figure out a way."

Yang Xiao sighed.

In the middle of the night, Yang Xiao was awakened by the noise outside, and he faintly heard the sound of many people gathering and the roar of spaceships.

"The surveillance information for the mine field shows that something happened at Mine #10; thirty people have collectively rebelled."

"These foolish humans of Earth, do they have no wish to live?"

"Is it useful to run there now? Even if they escape into the forest, they'll be eaten by the monsters."

"Hurry up and take a look. Maybe we can capture a few of them. Without miners, do you plan to go down to the mine and dig?"

...

(There's one more update later, it's quite late, don't wait, thanks to the book friend "Little Monster Don't Run" for the tip of 200 Qidian Coins, thank you all for your support.)
