Chapter 88 Are we dead?

"Hey, Cheng Xing, are we dead for sure?" the cyborg asked.

"If you stop talking nonsense, maybe we'll have a slim chance of survival," Cheng Xing replied.

Saying there was a slim chance felt purely comforting at this point, but the cyborg was in relatively good spirits. "Put me down. I'm basically a walking arsenal. It won't be difficult to help you stop that guy. If I'm not mistaken, he's one of Chi Zhuo's people, someone called Hua Yao, right? We've suffered quite a bit at his hands; it's time to settle the score."

Cheng Xing was silent for a moment before coldly uttering two words, "Don't go."

"Hmm? You can't possibly not want me to go," the cyborg teased.

"That guy killed Ge You. Do you think you're stronger than Ge You?"

"In a one-on-one fight, I definitely can't beat Ge You, but like I said, I'm a walking arsenal now. Of course, I'd be using weapons against him. Cheng Xing, since you can effortlessly toss the second and third away, there's no real difference between me and them. If you keep this up, I'll start to think I'm special."

This time, Cheng Xing remained silent for a long while. He didn't like having weaknesses or any special beings around him; to him, everyone was merely a pawn. This person wasn't particularly special, but he still said, "You are the true leader of the organization. If you die, I'll have to manage it myself, and you know I don't like trivial matters getting in the way of my work."

"Alright then, since you've said so, I'll do my best to ensure we both survive," the cyborg replied.

Hua Yao was no easy opponent; his methods were quite ruthless. If it weren't for Chi Zhuo saving his life, a person like him would never accept being subordinate to anyone.

The starship wouldn't hold out much longer. Cheng Xing didn't send robots to assist him but instead summoned androids while looking for an opportunity to abandon the starship.

This was bound to be no easy task. Hua Yao calculated the starship's resources and realized capturing Cheng Xing wouldn't be difficult. Moreover, pursuing Cheng Xing was not just him; there was also that person from the Gu family. Gu Hechuan was the predetermined heir of the Gu family, powerful and commanding formidable warships.

Without the robot army, Cheng Xing was just a turtle in a jar, with no way out.

But Cheng Xing had more than just robots at his disposal; he also had several developed androids. Though they looked grotesque, they were excellent fighters.

Cheng Xing timed his actions perfectly. With ten seconds left until the starship exploded, he and another person jumped off the starship. Meanwhile, their starship was on autopilot, charging towards those pursuing them, resulting in a massive explosion.

In the midst of the brilliant colors, Cheng Xing and the cyborg were caught by the androids.

The androids were of various forms, some resembling large birds with human heads, while others were almost entirely fish-like, with human limbs. Many had abscesses and decayed flesh from failed fusion, creating a grotesque carnival of monsters.

Gu Hechuan pursued Cheng Xing simply because he felt Cheng Xing was dangerous. If he escaped, he could become an uncontrollable threat. He knew Cheng Xing had done much research, as his profession was a researcher, but he never expected Cheng Xing was studying such things. A wave of nausea washed over him, and a hand gripped his.

"He's very dangerous," Gu Hechuan frowned and said. "Lütu, you should have shown no mercy while in the palace."

Lütu had spent years with Gu Hechuan, and he knew his little tricks had likely been seen through. Lowering his gaze, his beautiful peach blossom eyes displayed a sense of pity. "I know he's dangerous, but the people he experiments on aren't good either. Even if they've turned into this, it's not really a big deal."
