Scarlet’s words exploded in Yun Che’s heart like a sudden clap of thunder.
‘She actually knows everything!’
‘How is that possible?!’
Although he didn’t know how Scarlet had found out, Yun Che knew that what she said was indeed true.
If Scarlet had any enmity toward them, she would only need to notify the battle camp.
Not only would she avoid any risk in taking them down, but she might even receive a reward from the battle camp. After all, the battle camp’s system of rewards and punishments was very clear.
So, when Scarlet slowly pressed down his dagger, Yun Che, trusting his own judgment, did not resist too much. He even simply retracted the dagger.
“Indeed, the signal from your neck collar and wristwatch are both shielded. That is quite impressive and not something an ordinary trainee can do. How did you manage it alone?”
The sound of footsteps echoed as Lin Zhen stepped out from the corner of the passage.
“Take me with you. Take me away from this hellhole, and I will tell you everything you want to know!” Scarlet said seriously.
“No rush!” Lin Zhen raised his hand. “Answer my question first. There is plenty of space on the spaceship. Whether I take you or not depends on my whim.”
“Fine. My ability is related to electromagnetic power!”
Scarlet raised her hand, and arcs of electricity *crackle* between her five fingers. “Shielding them is a piece of cake.”
「The lightning dancing at your fingertips is my unchanging faith!」
「Railgun!」
「Here comes the electromagnetic gun!」
Lin Zhen nodded in understanding.
This was the irrational part of supernatural powers. Some things might be extremely difficult for most people, but they became as simple as drinking water when encountered by a specific supernatural power.
He had gone to great lengths to shield the collar’s signal, but for Scarlet, it was merely a matter of raising her hand.
“But how do you know about my affairs?” Lin Zhen asked. “Don’t tell me you tracked us to find out. I have never spoken about this to anyone on the surface!”
As he spoke, both he and Yun Che stared intently into Scarlet’s eyes, trying to find any trace of a clue. However, Scarlet appeared very calm and spoke candidly.
“I can not only shield electromagnetic signals, but I can also eavesdrop. I followed you all the way and accidentally overheard your conversation with Chicha, and then I knew everything.”
“Is it just that simple?” Lin Zhen asked, unable to believe it.
He felt a bit of a toothache. He had gone to great lengths to deceive the battle camp and the Doctor, only to be discovered by Scarlet just like that. It was simply ridiculous.
“Yes, it is just that simple! I have finished answering. Can you take me away now?” Scarlet asked softly.
Lin Zhen looked at Yun Che, who shook his head, indicating that he couldn’t see Scarlet lying. He took a deep breath.
“I lied before. Whether I can take you or not, I have to ask for the opinions of others. Come with me.”
Lin Zhen and Yun Che brought Scarlet to the side of the spaceship. After 2 days and 2 nights of construction, the spaceship had taken shape.
It was a small, leaf-shaped spaceship. It was less than 70 or 80 meters long, only 20 or 30 meters wide, and its height was even only about 3 meters.
It looked incredibly crude, with only simple armor, no shields, and no weapons.
When Yun Ruoxi and the others saw Lin Zhen and Yun Che approaching with Scarlet, they all turned to look at the same time. Lin Zhen briefly explained Scarlet’s intention to them.
“Her ability is quite useful and might help us escape. I have decided to take her with us. What do you all think?”
“Since you think she’s fine, A Zhen, then it’s okay.”
“No problem with me.”
“It’s good to be able to take one more person away.”
Naturally, no one opposed Lin Zhen’s opinion and all expressed their agreement.
Lin Zhen turned to look at Scarlet. “Everyone has agreed, so from now on, you are also a member of the escape team. On the road ahead, we may need the help of your supernatural power.”
“I will certainly do my best!” Scarlet nodded vigorously, her peripheral vision glancing at Yun Ruoxi, who was standing in the crowd.
The latter smiled slightly and nodded toward her. Scarlet immediately moved her gaze away like a thief.
「Something’s wrong.」
「There’s a catch.」
「It’s over, it’s over. Don’t tell me she’s another undercover agent.」
“Now you wait here. I’m going to continue working!”
After Lin Zhen finished his instructions, he hurried to the bottom of the spaceship and began to install the positive-negative warp engine.
He had already taken the parts for the positive-negative warp engine from everyone’s items previously.
Now, he only needed to use the special alloy hidden on his person to complete the construction of the engine’s basic framework.
It was a simple process. However, the engine was the power source of the spaceship and was everything to the vessel.
He did not dare to be careless in the slightest, not stopping until the engine matched what was in his memory.
*Whoosh!*
The skin of the ship flew up, covering the underside of the spaceship. Lin Zhen took a step back and looked at the complete spaceship he had built from scratch, his face full of excitement.
Although this spaceship was extremely crude and lacked many functions—it didn’t even have a Rest Pod—it could fly and perform a positive-negative foldjump, which meant it could take them away from here!
“Everyone, it’s finished!”
Lin Zhen turned around, looking at everyone with a face full of joy. Seeing that the long wait was finally over, everyone naturally showed happy smiles as well.
Except, among those smiles, Lin Zhen didn’t know if it was because of his preconceived notions, but he felt that the smile on Yun Ruoxi’s face was visibly fake and somewhat mocking.
Thinking of this, he was just about to walk toward Yun Ruoxi when he saw the girl’s lips curl up. Her red lips pouted slightly as she mouthed:
“Bang!”
In the next second, more than ten dazzling lights suddenly lit up from all directions.
*Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!*
Deafening explosions rang out one after another, and the entire space they were in began to vibrate.
Fragments of the metal walls that had been blown apart flew like bullets, freezing in mid-air the moment they were about to hit the spaceship.
The shockwaves from over ten explosions echoed in this enclosed space, unable to dissipate.
Everyone was dazed by the vibration and covered their ears. Even the spaceship was shaken off its iron rack and crashed onto the ground with a loud *thud*.
“What’s going on?” everyone asked in shock.
They didn’t know what was happening. Their first reaction was to think that the battle camp had discovered their escape plan and had launched a direct attack on them.
But then, they quickly realized one thing: this explosion had occurred from within the space.
This meant that if an enemy hadn’t sneaked in, there was a traitor among them!
In an instant, most people looked at the newly arrived Scarlet. After all, she was the only new member and the only one who could be the traitor.
But at the same time, some people who had long noticed something was wrong suddenly turned their heads in another direction.
They looked at the blue-haired girl beside them, whose face was filled with utter astonishment, as if she hadn’t expected the explosions to occur on the surrounding walls instead of on the spaceship.
