Chapter 264: The Informer – Mo Yuan

Actually, informing was the right move. If he hadn’t, Lao Mo’s character would have completely collapsed.

“Holy crap, you’re right. It was emphasized earlier that Lao Mo is loyal to the rules themselves, not individuals.”

“He kept targeting Lao Xi because she went easy on others. How could he possibly follow Dr. Forefinger in violating the battle camp’s rules!”

“666, it turns out Lao Mo was the true mastermind behind the scenes all along.”

“This time, the Doctor is a total clown. He thought he could control everyone, but it turns out everyone has their own ideas and betrayed him in the end.”

“But this development is actually quite good. Everyone acts according to their own motivations. It’s rare for the villains not to lose their intelligence just for the sake of the ending.”

“Why is there a space solidifier here?!”

Hearing Dr. Forefinger’s words, Lin Zhen was momentarily stunned.

He had naturally heard of this high-tech device, which was commonly used on the battlefield to prevent enemies from using warp for sneak attacks.

However, this thing not only required a long time to set up in advance, but the energy consumption after deployment was astronomical!

Why would the Saints’ hand society set up a space solidifier here? Were they preparing to face some powerful enemy?

Lin Zhen did not think this was Dr. Forefinger’s trump card, but perhaps the Doctor could answer his doubts.

However.

The one who answered him was not Dr. Forefinger’s voice, but the voice of another person—

“Because you’re right, Lin Zhen… I am only loyal to the rules of the battle camp!”

Although the voice was somewhat distorted, Mo Yuan had just fought them several minutes ago, so Lin Zhen still recognized it.

This was… Mo Yuan’s voice!

“How is it you? How could you…?!”

“Surprised, aren’t you?” Mo Yuan interrupted with a cold laugh. “Didn’t I say it? I will make those who violate the rules pay the price! Especially you… Dr. Forefinger!”

“Whether it’s you, A Zhen, Xinglan, or even those who tried to use—”

Lin Zhen gasped, suddenly coming to a realization.

“Was it you who told the battle camp about our escape in advance? Did you have them set up the space solidifier beforehand?”

“It was me! It was all me!”

Samira-21.

Mo Yuan lay in the ruins, covered in injuries, letting out a most triumphant laugh.

Ever since he reported the matter to Behemoth, he had been waiting for this moment to arrive.

Now that the moment had truly come, the feeling was just as delicious as he had anticipated.

“Lao Mo’s laugh is so creepy.”

“It’s a laugh of pride, a laugh of relief.”

“You have to understand, he’s finally getting his revenge after holding this grudge for over two years.”

“Stop? What?” Dr. Forefinger asked innocently.

“Heh.” Behemoth walked straight to Dr. Forefinger’s side and glanced at the darkened screen.

Not feeling surprised in the slightest, he sneered, “Doctor, there is no point in being stubborn anymore. Mo Yuan… is a good boy. As early as ten days ago, when you first contacted him, he told us everything.”

“The only reason I am the one here and not the Shengcai is that I have not submitted the evidence yet.”

“Is that so?” Dr. Forefinger did not seem surprised at all.

The moment he saw the space solidifier activate on the warship, he already understood that his actions had been exposed.

In the end, he was still too young and had misjudged people.

Furthermore, because he became curious about the special environment of the taixing and spent a large amount of time researching it every day, he had given Yun Ruoxi, Lin Zhen, and Mo Yuan—those three ‘rebels’—plenty of time to act on their own.

That was how he had been deceived step by step into this trap.

“What about you, then?” Dr. Forefinger asked directly, seeing how honest Behemoth was being.

Instructor Behemoth shook his head slightly.

“If it were just that, I would have let it go. But I really didn’t expect that you would go this far just to cover up your own mistakes!”

He gently patted Dr. Forefinger on the shoulder.

“Just stay here and watch. Watch how I bring these naughty children and that cyborg back!”

“Aren’t you curious about what I just deleted?” Dr. Forefinger suddenly asked.

“It won’t be too late to ask after I’ve captured them.” Behemoth smiled as he raised his wristwatch, his voice cold. “Do it! Bring them all back to me!”

With Instructor Behemoth’s command, the small guard ships hidden in various places outside the taixing immediately canceled their invisibility and sped toward the coordinates of Lin Zhen’s spaceship.

“This is not good!”

Lin Zhen looked at the dense cluster of small dots on the radar, and a bead of cold sweat rolled down his forehead.

Under the coordination of the battle camp’s central AI, these hundreds of guard ships had blocked almost all of his possible exits!

Even if he flew the spaceship into the depths of the meteorite belt, he would still face interception from the guard ships!

“Stop struggling and just give up! You cannot escape from the dragnet Instructor Behemoth has laid out!”

Mo Yuan’s taunts left Lin Zhen feeling flustered.

He let out a low growl, “Scarlet!”

The latter understood immediately and used her supernatural power. She forcibly cut off his electromagnetic signal, disconnecting him.

“A Zhen, hold on! I’ll be there soon!”

Scarlet also realized the urgency of the situation, her voice carrying a rare trace of anxiety.

“I’ll try my best!” Lin Zhen gritted his teeth, his brain calculating frantically. Finally, he managed to find a slim chance of survival.

He slammed the control lever forward, pushing the spaceship’s speed to the limit as he raced toward the depths of the meteorite belt.

Retreating meant death, and advancing meant death—so he would seek life within death!

Lin Zhen stared wide-eyed, his black eyes bloodshot.

Under his control, the spaceship, which did not have high maneuverability, moved through the meteorite belt like a nimble hummingbird.

It dodged the dense rays flying in from above, below, the left, the right, and behind.

“The kid’s got some great driving skills!”

“Are you also a God of Racing?”

“How can he even run? Even if he dodges these guard ships, it’s impossible for him to get away, right?”

The stray rays were extremely powerful, easily shattering the surface rock of the meteorites and revealing the metallic minerals inside.

Lin Zhen maneuvered the spaceship frantically through the meteorite belt, but in the end, he was still surrounded by the battle camp’s guard ships.

However, there was no trace of surprise or panic on his face. Instead, it was as if he had expected this, as he watched the surface of the surrounding meteorites peel away.

‘This is it, the only way out!’

His gaze hardened, and he suddenly steered the spaceship into a sharp turn, heading straight toward a massive meteorite.

“What is he doing? Is he trying to commit suicide?” a soldier on a guard ship could not help but ask.

“A Zhen, what are you doing? We’re about to crash!” Kaos shouted in a panic on the spaceship, clutching the seat handles.
