Ultragene Warlord

Chapter 1341: Seeking Revenge

Zhang Lie seemed shocked. "Can you optimize this recipe further?"

The recipe for Potion #5 had just been devised in the third realm. How was the airship able to improve upon it? It could hardly possess the recipe for Potion #6—Zhang Lie would never believe it.

The airship's robotic voice continued, "Improvements can be deduced using the airship's artificial intelligence."

In other words, the airship itself didn't have an improved recipe; this would only be a guess. contemporary romance

"Will it be reliable?"

"If the airship operates at minimum functional capacity, without access to high-speed flight and combat abilities, the improved recipe will take 24,000 hours to optimize."

In other words, a thousand days.

"Maintaining high-speed flight and combat abilities will cause the improved recipe to take 240,000 hours to optimize. Would you like to begin analysis and optimization?"

"Do so."

The airship's robotic voice continued, "The airship only has sufficient reserves for a hundred days of operation. This analysis and optimization will take too long at present. Please provide sufficient resources."

Zhang Lie replied, "We'll have a look at other spots in the airship before dealing with the problem of energy consumption."

According to Bu Wentian, the airship could transform the vast majority of resources into energy for itself; it wasn't picky.

Zhang Lie and Li Qianlin walked out of the medicinal research laboratory and into the neighboring plant greenhouse.

There was a little garden in the interior of the airship, within which all manner of plants were being grown. Steel racks lined the walls all around, filled with plants covered in glass.

Next, they went to the airship's living quarters.

Zhang Lie was shocked by the scale of the living quarters. He hadn't expected the interior of the airship to be so large. It was almost the size of a small city, and was larger than the exterior of the airship itself.

The robotic voice explained, "Spatial compression techniques have been used in the interior of the airship to accommodate more travelers. Furthermore, the plants and vegetables grown within the airship allow for self-sufficiency."

Zhang Lie asked curiously, "Why not do the same for the medicinal herbs around here?"

"Spiritual herbs have certain requirements as to their environments, and not all such herbs can thrive in a spatially compressed environment. Weaker lifeforms will have to consume special medication from time to time lest they suffer from repercussions."

After touring the interior of the airship, Zhang Lie and Li Qianlin returned to the command center, then flew toward Lin Lingfeng's settlement.

Because there weren't sufficient energy resources, there was no need to leave the airship on the spot to analyze and optimize a recipe for Potion #6. There would be plenty of time to do so once enough resources had been found.

The airship moved particularly quickly, and it was at Lin Lingfeng's settlement in the blink of an eye. Once again, there seemed to be a commotion. Thick clouds and fog covered the settlement.

The airship's robotic voice sounded, "Energetic fluctuations ahead."

Zhang Lie asked, "Can you scan it?"

"Targets have been displayed on the radar."

Zhang Lie saw a large group of red dots via the radar, including a large red triangle at its center.

"What do the symbols mean?"

Zhang Lie wasn't an airship pilot, and neither had he spent much time in an airship. He was naturally unfamiliar with the display, and wasn't sure how to read it."

The robotic voice continued, "Special energetic fluctuations in white fog detected, with the ability to disrupt vision and magnetosensory organs. Clear the area of fog?"

Li Qianlin asked curiously, "Are we going somewhere special?"

"Lin Lingfeng's settlement used to be an ordinary city," Zhang Lie replied. "It looks like they're in danger again.

Lin Lingfeng and her settlement was indeed in danger, severe danger at that.

The genetic hunters had been repairing their battered city walls when cloud and fog suddenly surrounded them. Huge quantities of fog gushed out. The genetic hunters had no time to react before the fog enveloped the city. Lin Lingfeng assigned some hunters to check out the scene, but none who had been dispatched returned.

Just then, the cloud formed a human face. Its voice resounded across the fog, as though it were a heavenly deity.

"Weak, puny ants, I am the son of Cthaat, member of Eternal Sun. I bear you no enmity, but my brother was killed not long ago. My father is enraged, and has tasked me with finding the culprit."

In order to investigate the death of Cthaat's son, Black Swamp, the sea of clouds, another of Cthaat's sons, had headed to the nearest human settlement to Black Swamp's haunt.

"Hand this person over and I'll let you all go."

The sea of clouds transformed into Zhang Lie.

The black swamp was naturally linked to the nearest human settlement around.

The hunters murmured to each other, making a fuss. Many recognized just who the figure was.

Lin Lingfeng's companion remarked in surprise, "Isn't that...?"

Lin Lingfeng pushed her companion aside and leapt up onto the city walls. She shouted toward the sea of clouds' face: "Sir, we are unfamiliar with this purported murderer you accuse. Even if we did, we would hardly hand over a companion just because you will it. We genetic hunters work together—we're united."

Against such a massive threat, Lin Lingfeng knew that the most important thing to do was to stabilize the situation.

The sea of clouds' face formed a long sigh. "I didn't want to come, but my father bade me do so. You seem to have just sent a few people out of the city. Conveniently, I picked them up."

A few Milky Way hunters were hanging in the sky, the sea of clouds forming a seal around their bodies.

"I'm a pacifist, and I'd rather not fight—nor use any cruel tactics against you. If you hand over the culprit, I'll return these people immediately. One life for the lives of many—it's a good deal, is it not?"

Lin Lingfeng cried out, "Sir, I don't know who this is!" .com

The sea of clouds asked, "Don't you think it cruel?"

"What?"

"To watch yourself be killed by your companion. Isn't it a regretful thing, a cruel one?" The sea of clouds rumbled. The leftmost person held in stasis suddenly began to shriek. His body seemed to be compressed by an unknown force. His blood burst into a mist of red droplets that seeped out from his skin. Hetransformed into a parched corpse immediately."

Lin Lingfeng widened her eyes, unable to believe what she was seeing.

The sea of clouds had killed someone, just like that! As it had stated, it considered them nothing more than ants.

The sea of clouds sighed. "What a cruel race. He must be rather upset even in death. You could have saved him with just one piece of information—but you chose not to. Take a look at his despair, his pained gaze. He must have loathed you moments before his death."
