Starting Cultivation in Wasteland-Chapter 450 - 322: The Collapse of the Relay Tower

Chapter 450: Chapter 322: The Collapse of the Relay Tower

For Qu Jianlei, assembling bombs was already a low-level task, even if it involved high-explosive incendiaries and energy blocks.

He quickly assembled the bomb, which nearly occupied the entire third space.

Then he took out a timer and installed it on the detonator, "How long should it be timed for?"

How to exit the high tower was Spirit Fox’s concern; he hadn’t pondered it.

Spirit Fox thought for a moment and replied, "Half a minute is enough to get outside the tower, but consider the inner breath reserve and retreat radius."

Qu Jianlei thought for a moment and set the timer for two and a half minutes, activating the countdown switch, "Let’s go!"

The two of them took just over ten seconds to retreat from the high tower. When they looked outside, they saw the battle was still ongoing.

However, it had significantly decreased in scale, with several A-level star thieves pressing down on the A-level pioneers.

There were also sporadic battles outside the control center, but quite a few mechas and thermal weapons appeared.

The appearance of these weapons indicated the pioneers had been completely suppressed.

The fire attribute supreme star thief no longer acted, instead releasing powerful spiritual suppression, perceiving all around.

Spirit Fox quietly pointed to himself: That guy is probably looking for me, after all, I’ve been in the limelight tonight.

Qu Jianlei asked softly, "Since they’re looking for you, can you use the high tower’s explosive to pit that guy?"

Spirit Fox thought for a bit and still shook his head, "I’d like to, but to be honest... I’m really low on inner breath."

Qu Jianlei handed over a pill bottle, which contained the Qi Recovery Pill Spirit Fox had previously given him, "Only this bottle left, it’s better than nothing."

The Qi Recovery Pill replenishes qi slowly, but it’s gentle and works better when used with A-level crystals.

Taking my own stuff... Spirit Fox was startled: Is this even an option?

He wanted to refuse, but now really wasn’t the time for formalities, so he accepted it.

However, he also stated, "I won’t take it for free, but using this explosive pit against the supreme doesn’t seem to be of much use."

The imperial rescue is arriving soon, and he really didn’t want to risk any further... Staying quietly would suffice, wouldn’t it?

Qu Jianlei didn’t listen to a word he said, disappearing in a flash.

He had already offered more qi replenishment options, whether Spirit Fox wanted to use the explosive against the star thieves was up to them.

He never liked forcing others, even if it was unknown how crazy the star thieves would become before the rescue arrived.

"This guy... runs really fast," Spirit Fox was about to move away when his body suddenly froze.

The supreme’s spirit had locked onto him, a figure in the night sky turned and looked over coldly, "What are you doing?"

"Damn you!" Spirit Fox directly tossed the pill into his mouth.

Then he raised his hand, instantly producing a backpack which he threw into a signal-receiving dish, then turned and ran.

"Is it incendiary?" The supreme in the air sneered, "Thermobaric bomb or incendiary bullet?"

He had just seen the pioneers had indeed prepared some explosives.

Originally, the pioneers didn’t plan to use them, or rather, didn’t intend to use them at the control center. How would they call for help if the center was destroyed?

But the appearance of a supreme star thief led the Pioneer Team to near ruin, a blow that was truly too much.

The best-laid plans couldn’t withstand superior strength; the fact that the pioneers could still fight was testament to their ferocity.

The supreme of the star thieves hadn’t intervened much, just taking down two troublemakers.

Then he started assessing the situation, filling in gaps, not directly interfering in combat.

But the more the pioneers fought, the more desperate they became. Someone took out incendiaries to destroy the control center... If they couldn’t have it, they’d destroy it!

These explosive packs were more powerful than ordinary shells, the Pioneer Team wasn’t short on arms modification experts.

Upon discovering their intentions, the star thieves also tried to intercept, suffering considerable losses.

The explosives used delayed fuses, with not overly short delay times.

But when a thief tried to use a technique to sweep away the explosives, they discovered in addition to delayed fuses, there were also trigger fuses.

Anyway, there had been quite explosive incidents just now, leaving the thieves a bit overwhelmed—you abandoned the control center, but we still need it.

The supreme hadn’t intervened in these matters, but watched clearly from the side; he didn’t have a good solution for this do-or-die struggle.

Being fire attribute himself, it wasn’t suitable for him to act casually in such situations, or he might really destroy the control center.

So he only dealt with two A-level individuals, not just out of keeping appearances.

Now that Spirit Fox had thrown out the explosive pack, he raised his hand, a Flaming Arrow shot out—let it explode then, just don’t damage too much equipment.

The Flaming Arrow instantly hit the backpack, unsurprisingly causing it to explode.

The supreme couldn’t help but be slightly stunned, "Whoa... Electromagnetic Interference Bomb? That’s somewhat inventive."

Others might not understand, but as a supreme, he knew this interference bomb could not only affect devices but also moderately impact spiritual suppression.

However, it was merely "moderately" effective; in the next instant, his suppression focused intently on Spirit Fox.

"Such minor tricks, and you want to trouble me? I’m quite curious, you little A-level... yet another explosive pack?"

Spirit Fox tossed another backpack and continued to run, as for the spiritual suppression from the opponent... it didn’t cause him much confusion.

He was not only at the peak of A-level but also came from a particularly well-off family. He chose the Pioneer Team because he liked adventure.

He had actually undergone special training against spiritual suppression and accumulated considerable experience.

And this spiritual suppression with supreme fire attribute, was just so-so. He could even withstand it and throw out another backpack.

But the third one... he didn’t dare to toss it, not because he didn’t have it, but because he truly didn’t dare to.

If the supreme launched an attack at the moment he took out the package, he might accidentally injure himself.

"Oh, brave!" The supreme with the fire attribute laughed in anger, his spiritual power condensed into a line, striking heavily at Spirit Fox, "Pretty resilient?"

In fact, his heart was not as relaxed as he appeared. Spirit Fox was at the A-level peak, and his backing was also financially robust.

Even the second master, who was half-step supreme and famous for his strong defense of earth attribute, was injured by this guy.

Spirit Fox’s body jolted violently and fell to the ground, rolling around in pain.

The supreme with the fire attribute was satisfied, coughing lightly, "Take him down!"

Two A-level star thieves withdrew from the main battlefield and lunged simultaneously at Spirit Fox.

"You don’t need to go!" one of them spoke, "I alone am enough."

The reasoning was sound. Although Spirit Fox was formidable, he was at the end of his strength now. With the supreme overseeing things, why need two A-levels?

"Let me go," the other one snorted coldly, "I recently suffered a loss from a failed investment and am eager to make up for it."

The failed investment was just a facade. What he meant was—do you want to monopolize the good things on Commander Qian Duoduo’s body?

After all, star thieves were star thieves; when faced with benefits, who would yield to others?

Spirit Fox, rolling on the ground, sighed secretly: Trying to deceive the supreme... truly not easy.

The next moment, a dazzling arc of lightning descended from the sky, hitting a not-so-tall tower squarely.

"Black Heaven!" more than one person cried out. Black Heaven was absent from the latter half of the night’s battle, but no one would ignore him.

Everyone knew, at the beginning of the engagement, his output was fierce; perhaps he was replenishing his qi, but he definitely wouldn’t just disappear.

The star thieves were on guard for Black Heaven’s appearance, and the Pioneers were also waiting for him to bring new good news.

"Black Heaven? Interesting," the supreme with the fire attribute snorted softly, perceiving with his spiritual power, "This kind of ant belongs to me!"

However, he was immediately taken aback: where is this... person?

In his perception, there were several scattered C-levels, unclear about their affiliation, but B-level... really no more.

Could it be that Black Heaven’s ability to conceal qi is even stronger than Spirit Fox’s?

But that didn’t matter. By screening those C-levels one by one, he would definitely find the person.

Just as he was about to give the order, something felt off, then he suddenly perceived an abnormal energy fluctuation at the tower.

Surprised, he turned his head, just in time to see a burst of firelight, his eyes almost splitting, "Boy, how dare you!"

At the same time, Spirit Fox felt a technique falling towards him.

He jumped up abruptly, darting forward to the side, letting out a low laugh, "Time’s up, your time is up!"

The two A-level star thieves almost fell into an internal strife, but upon seeing this, they were momentarily stunned, "This guy... is deceiving us?"

Then the two perceived something, turned their heads to look, then gasped collectively, eyes in shock, "This is..."

Baldy was struggling one against three, with his strength, facing three opponents, he might not lose in the short term.

Even if his wounds were not healed, it wouldn’t be hard for him to escape.

But now he couldn’t escape, Fangcao was wounded again, and the injuries were severe, if he left, he’d abandon the vice-commander.

Moreover, some annoying flies around were consistently interfering with hot weapons, not causing much damage, but really annoying!

The most critical point was, a supreme was looming above, no action taken yet, but no one could just ignore this person.

At this moment, he also realized the situation was a bit off, though in a difficult one-against-three state, he couldn’t help but get distracted.

Fortunately, the three also sensed something wrong, loosening their hands a little.

Baldy glanced, frightened out of his wits, his figure flashed, directly fled, regardless of how many techniques fell beside him.

The three star thieves besieging him also noticed something wrong, the key was... that guy ran away too decisively, didn’t he?

Among those encircling him was the Fourth Master. Seeing this, he was immediately shocked, "This is... triggering a self-destruct device?"

He was also from the military, his vision unmatched by ordinary people.

Even though he had defected, some information barriers were beyond an outsider’s breakthrough.

Pan Yifu had already been sealed in cultivation level and was being carried by two star thieves to the hospital.

The capture of an A-level was really rare; he was enjoying an unusual treatment.

But at this moment, seeing the explosion of firelight in the distance, his eyes almost popped out, "This is... really succeeded?"

(Updated, during the double monthly ticket period, shouting loudly.)
