Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 161: Chapter 84: Unforeseen Accidents in Succession, the Illusion of Final Practice_4

Destroying this place is tantamount to destroying the spaceship itself.

The middle-aged man held a bundle of explosives, intending to climb up along the Armor-Piercing Level’s outer edge.

But just as he started to climb, his side was suddenly kicked, and a wave of sharp pain spread throughout his body.

The middle-aged man couldn’t maintain his balance, and the explosives slipped from his grasp, falling to the ground.

Instinctively, he reached for the remote detonation button of the explosives in his other pocket.

But he was immediately kicked again.

Though this kick wasn’t as painful as the one to his side, it cleverly struck his knuckles, directly fracturing his finger bones.

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, trying to endure the excruciating pain, wanting to use his still good hand to support himself and quickly get up.

But before he could do so, he felt a cold sensation on his forehead.

The middle-aged man’s hair stood on end, his body stiffened, and he slowly lifted his head to look at the person pointing a gun at his head.

”Old Wu?”

Old Wu’s face still bore that same smile, but now it lacked any warmth.

”Wow, what a coincidence, isn’t this Shen Yi?”

”No wonder you called for three last night directly, you want to have one last fling before dying, huh.”

The middle-aged man Shen Yi never expected Old Wu to appear here.

His tone carried a hint of pleading mixed with a note of menace as he said, ”You can’t kill me, if you kill me, the explosives will detonate, and at this location, you and I will both die.”

”That’s not necessarily true.”

Chen Ming’s voice sounded as he approached Old Wu.

He, like Old Wu, raised his gun at Shen Yi’s forehead.

Besides controlling the Armor-Piercing Level, Chen Ming had just picked up the explosives Shen Yi had dropped and had already dealt with them.

The method of handling them was quite simple.

Control the Armor-Piercing Level, open its hatch, toss the explosives inside, then choose to dismantle them, leaving only the materials that made up the explosives.

Old Wu, somewhat surprised, said to Chen Ming, ”So quickly, it’s already done?”

”Once you touch it, it’s done, quite a simple task.”

”Alright.”

Old Wu set down his gun, allowing Chen Ming to confront Shen Yi alone, or rather, to unilaterally threaten him.

He took out a terminal, tapped it a few times, and said, ”I see the blockade outside the exhibition hall is already set up, just waiting for the Space Elevator to finish over there, and the main force will come to resolve this here.”

”We likely can’t get out now, but at least we have plenty of time.”

”You decide how to handle him.”

”Don’t kill me, my...”

Just as Shen Yi was about to speak, Old Wu kicked him mercilessly again, saying, ”Got into this mess and still want to have opinions, huh?”

Chen Ming slightly held back Old Wu, preventing him from kicking the man to death, because he had questions to ask.

Chen Ming continued to hold the gun to Shen Yi’s head, his finger slightly pressing on the trigger, saying, ”I ask you, who gave you the Mind Pulse Device?”

Shen Yi, like grasping at a lifeline, said, ”My superior! He told me to activate the Mind Pulse Device here in advance to draw attention for the people on the other side.”

”Who is your superior?”

”I don’t know, they’ve always contacted me one-way, the contact identities are fake, I have no idea who they actually are.”

”All nonsense.”

”No... No, ask something else, I know other things, don’t kill me, I can provide information.”

Chen Ming ignored him, turned to Old Wu, and said, ”He’s from Luder Zuo Jing, right?”

”Yes, to be assigned to a task like this, should be considered internal personnel.”

”If you kill him, you’ll make an enemy of Luder Zuo Jing, this matter definitely won’t be kept secret, Mu Shuikong’s name will surely be remembered by Luder Zuo Jing.”

”Is that so.”

Chen Ming turned back around suddenly, reaching out to help the kneeling Shen Yi up.

Shen Yi’s face showed fear and relief, he seemed to think Chen Ming was intimidated by Luder Zuo Jing’s reputation.

But what Chen Ming was thinking now was just to make Shen Yi’s posture resemble the vision he saw when holding the Delusion Stone.

After helping him up, Chen Ming again pointed the gun at Shen Yi’s forehead, and under his terrified gaze, pulled the trigger.

”I’m not afraid of these things right now.”
