Quick Transmigration: Why did you provoke him? He's love-struck!

Chapter 428 The Predator Trapping Plan (27)

Ding Ling didn't even feel the pain. He saw Yan Zhen quickly take a few steps back, holding Qin Shao's usual close-combat weapon, the "Bone Blade," in one hand and holding his severed arm in the other, looking at him with a smile.

His severed elbow was bleeding profusely.

The severed arm still held a miniature quantum computer used to control Qin Shao's heart; it was his talisman and winning weapon.

Before coming to N613, Ding Ling practically welded the computer to her wrist to prevent it from being stolen.

Unexpectedly, the woman cut off his arm.

As blood continued to gush out, Ding Ling's body temperature rapidly decreased. Realizing that defeat was inevitable, his knees buckled, and he knelt on the ground, trembling.

A slight noise came from above, and Qin Shao quickly jumped down from the metal wreckage that was over a hundred meters high.

His gaze immediately fell on Yan Zhen.

Seeing that she had new injuries, Qin Shao's eyes darkened.

He reached for the severed arm, ripped off the quantum computer, and pretended to destroy it.

Yan Zhen realized his intention and quickly stopped him, saying, "No! Haier wants this; keep it for him to play with."

Qin Shao: "..."

He handed the personal terminal to Yan Zhen, then turned to Ding Ling: "Do you have any last words to say?"

Ding Ling looked up, meeting Qin Shao's gaze. The intense pain made his forehead covered in cold sweat. He suddenly burst into laughter: "Even if you kill me, you can't escape. As long as I don't go back, they will blow up N613 in three days..."

"Three days later?" Yan Zhen interjected.

"Yes! Qin Shao, you are doomed!" Ding Ling's eyes turned ferocious. "You deserve to die, you..."

"Is the information reliable?" Yan Zhen interjected again.

"..."

After being interrupted repeatedly, Ding Ling angrily said, "I have no reason to lie to him! A person like him shouldn't live at all..."

"Alright, we understand." After saying that, Yan Zhen swung the bone blade and severed Ding Ling's head.

The technique was so swift that Ding Ling's head rolled to the ground, still staring at her with wide, unwilling eyes.

I hate it when villains make plea for justice before they die. What does it matter to her if Ding Ling has a lot of grievances?

She doesn't want to hear it!

Anyway, he has to die.

Yan Zhen flicked the blood off the bone blade and handed it back to Qin Shao: "Let's go back to the base."

She said and was about to leave.

Qin Shao pulled her back, frowned as he examined the wound on her shoulder, then took off his combat uniform, tore off the soft sleeve of his shirt underneath, and gave Yan Zhen's wound a simple bandage.

"The bleeding has stopped for now. Go back as soon as possible for further treatment," Qin Shao said. He walked up to Yan Zhen, knelt down with his back to her, and said, "Get on."

Yan Zhen didn't refuse, stuffed the personal terminal into his pocket, and leaned on Qin Shao's back.

Back at the base, Shen Rong and Haier had already returned, and Haier was cleaning up the corpses around the base.

Shen Rong squatted on a nearby high wreckage of an aircraft, cautiously looking around.

Shen Rong noticed Yan Zhen and Qin Shao as soon as they appeared.

She leaped down from the wreckage in a few quick movements and ran to the two men.

Seeing Yan Zhen covered in dirt and wounds, while Qin Shao was unharmed, Shen Rong's face darkened.

She roughly pulled Yan Zhen off Qin Shao's back.

Yan Zhen cried out in pain when she landed, and Shen Rong swallowed back the angry curse that was on the tip of his tongue, supporting her and asking, "Does it hurt?"

"A little." Yan Zhen spoke while observing her expression, then changed the subject at the right moment, "Help me treat my wound, I have some very important information to share with you."

Seeing her serious expression, Shen Rong knew that the situation was not simple. He pulled her towards the cabin, not forgetting to glare fiercely at Qin Shao.

"..." Qin Shao touched the tip of his nose guiltily and followed him inside.

Inside the cabin, Yan Zhen called Haier over, and the four of them sat together.

While Shen Rong was helping to bandage the wound, Yan Zhen told them about the bombing that N613 would face in three days.

Haier was stunned, and Shen Rong's expression also changed drastically.

"Don't panic," Yan Zhen said. "There's still a chance to salvage the situation. Now, listen to my instructions."

Her calm demeanor reassured Haier and Shen Rong, and the two instantly calmed down.

“A month ago, Torrio asked the people at the base to help collect energy storage devices. We need more than three thousand energy storage devices in total. Time is tight, and we may not have enough now, but as long as we have one-third of the energy storage devices, I am confident that we can start the spaceship and fly out of the gravitational layer.”

Haier's narrowed eyes widened instantly: "You mean we can leave here before N613 gets bombed?"

“It’s not about leaving here,” Yan Zhen analyzed. “The disconnection between N613 and the interstellar communication array has both advantages and disadvantages. As you know, the disadvantage is that all communication devices on this planet are unusable.”

The advantage is that if extraterrestrial visitors want to bomb N613, they can no longer rely on interstellar arrays for remote positioning; they will have to manually aim and bomb it at close range outside the gravitational layer.

Shen Rong understood her meaning: "You want to pilot the spaceship out of the gravitational layer to deal with the people who bombed N613?"

“Yes.” Yan Zhen snapped his fingers. “Of course, our pile of scrap metal is no match for those from a militarily advanced planet like A001, so I need Haier’s help.”

Haier instinctively sat up straight: "What role can I play?"

Yan Zhen rummaged in his pocket twice, took out the miniature quantum computer he had taken from Ding Ling's severed arm, and handed it to Haier.

Haier took it, and before he could even bring it up to examine it closely, he touched it and exclaimed in delight, "A miniature optical computer! And the latest model!"

“That’s right,” Yan Zhen said. “Once we fly a certain distance out of the gravitational layer, the interstellar signal array will regain its signal. Haier will be responsible for using the optical computer to hack into the G648 military system thirteen light-years away, and driving the military fighters to fire on the enemy bombing N613, making them fight each other.”

Shen Rong thought the plan was feasible: "Then we can have a 'when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits' scenario!"

"Once they're done fighting, we might be able to snag some loot," Haier said excitedly. "If we can salvage a intact spaceship, leaving N613 will be just around the corner!"

The three chattered excitedly about their upcoming mission, growing more and more excited as they talked, as if they could already see a victorious future.

Unable to get a word in edgewise, Qin Shao hesitated for a moment, then raised one hand.

Shen Rong and Yan Zhen both turned to him, the former rolling his eyes before even speaking: "What's wrong? Culprit!"

"I don't think it's necessary to go through all this trouble. Let's just leave here," Qin Shao said. "We'll have to leave sooner or later anyway."

Haier said, "Didn't Sister Jiang tell you? We don't have the conditions to leave right now. The spaceship's energy is insufficient to support long-term flight, and once we leave N613, we don't have any other planetary passes or residency permits, so we can't find a place to land."

"Yes, I do."

Shen Rong frowned: "What do you have?"

"A spaceship capable of supporting long-duration flights, as well as passes and residency permits for other planets."
