I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head

Chapter 265: Meritorious Service

Chu Yunfan moved lightning-fast. He managed to catch up to the monster swarm and get back to Base 15.

There were clashes between the monster swarm and the army happening everywhere. The scale of the monster swarm attacking Base 15 was much larger than before. It was overwhelming, and there was all manner of monsters everywhere!

Chu Yunfan watched from afar and felt extremely shocked. He regarded the Monster Cult as the scourge of the Earth. They were able to control these monsters and have them attack the human bases. But if they did not have such methods, they would be no match for the Federation Government. They would surely be suppressed at any moment.

In the distant sky, three mechas flew over. They flew through the air and charged into the monster swarm. Their bodies were spewing out terrifying lasers, sweeping through the monsters.

Wherever they went, the monsters dropped dead!

They were invincible!

Chu Yunfan was dazzled by the sight. This was the pinnacle of human wisdom, the power of technology, and the masterpiece of human martial arts. Against such a machine, even Acquired Stage experts would flee in fear. It was flawless.

In human society, it was not only martial arts students who were promising. Many liberal arts students became great scientists and developed all kinds of cutting-edge technology. Powerful weapons would then appear in the hands of humankind. Humans were powerful due to the combination of liberal and martial arts.

Now that the mechas had been mobilized, this wave of beasts was no longer much of a threat to Base 15. The military had been well prepared for this. Naturally, no monster would be able to breakthrough.

All that was left was to encircle and annihilate!

Chu Yunfan brought Gao Hongzhi into the base. There were shocked students everywhere. Many of them were seriously injured and were receiving treatment.

When they saw Chu Yunfan, they were stunned. Jiang Yusheng had been causing a lot of trouble for Chu Yunfan. Jiang Yusheng had wanted to pursue and kill him. Everyone knew about this. They never thought that Chu Yunfan would be able to come back alive.

On the other hand, Jiang Yusheng had yet to appear.

The battle between the monster swarm and the human army was intensifying. If Jiang Yusheng had not returned to the base, he was most certainly dead.

They had all experienced this sudden monster swarm, so they knew how terrifying it was. Many students did not manage to make it back and became food for the monsters. Although it was cruel, it was a fact of life. There were no two ways about it.

Chu Yunfan brought Gao Hongzhi for treatment. Not long after, Tang Siyu arrived upon hearing the news. She was dressed in fiery red armor and her figure was well-defined. Her black hair was tied into a ponytail and hung down her back. Her face was framed by neat, airy bangs and two strands that fell to the sides of her face. There was a pronounced look of worry on her exquisite face. When she saw that Chu Yunfan was alive and well, she heaved a sigh of relief.

“Thank goodness you’re fine. I heard that Jiang Yusheng was looking for you everywhere,” Tang Siyu said with a sigh of relief.

“It’s fine. Jiang Yusheng will never come looking for trouble again because he’s dead,” Chu Yunfan said.

In the medical room, there were only Chu Yunfan, Tang Siyu, and Gao Hongzhi who were unconscious and receiving treatment. That was why Chu Yunfan did not hesitate to tell the truth.

“You killed him?” Tang Siyu said in surprise.

“Yes.” Chu Yunfan nodded.

“The Jiang family will not let this go. Don’t tell anyone about this,” Tang Siyu said quickly.

“Don’t worry, I’m not stupid,” Chu Yunfan said with a smile. “I’m just telling you so you’ll stop worrying.”

Only he and Gao Hongzhi knew about this, and now Tang Siyu.

Gao Hongzhi and Tang Siyu were trustworthy, so there was no need to worry.

It was only then that Chu Yunfan noticed that Tang Siyu had made another breakthrough.

“You’ve broken through to the second level of the Energy Refinement Stage,” Chu Yunfan said in surprise.

Tang Siyu nodded and said, “Yes, I just experienced a life-and-death battle and finally broke through.”

Tang Siyu said it lightly, but Chu Yunfan understood how dangerous this really was. Life-and-death explained everything.

“I didn’t expect the cult to be involved. Have you known about this for some time now?” Tang Siyu recalled Chu Yunfan’s exhortation.

“Yes.” Chu Yunfan nodded. After all, the matter had already happened, so there was no need to keep it a secret any longer.

“I see, no wonder. But I won’t ask anymore. It’s related to the cult, so it must be related to military secrets and that’s why you didn’t say anything,” Tang Siyu said. In mere seconds, she understood many things. “I was wondering why the army seemed to be so well prepared. They countered the moment the cult launched its attack. Turns out everything was a trap.”

“Don’t you feel like you’ve been used?” Chu Yunfan asked as he gazed at Siyu.

“What’s the big deal?” Tang Siyu said as she looked deeply back at Chu Yunfan, “Maybe you don’t understand. Sometimes, it’s better to be useful than to be an abandoned child.”

She was a child of a mistress born to the Tang family, so she understood many things better than Chu Yunfan.

Chu Yunfan wanted to say more, but he suddenly received a message. It was Xue Bailong.

Xue Bailong was asking for him.

Chu Yunfan told Tang Siyu to keep an eye on Gao Hongzhi while he went to see Xue Bailong.

On top of the base’ steel wall, the cold wind was biting. From afar, one could see that the army was gradually shrinking its encirclement of the monsters. The remaining monsters were slowly being surrounded and eliminated. The threat had passed.

Meanwhile, Xue Bailong stood with his hands behind his back. Blood dripped down from his black armor as he surveyed the scene before him. He had clearly just gone through a great battle.

“Lieutenant Xue,” Chu Yunfan greeted.

“You’re here,” Xue Bailong said, “You contributed a lot to the successful completion of the encirclement and elimination mission.”

“What does that have to do with me?” Chu Yunfan said in a doubtful tone.

“It was the news you sent me. I pretended to have discovered something and a snake came out of its hole. The members of the cult thought that they had been exposed, so they took action ahead of time. We eliminated them easily enough. You’ve made a great contribution,” Xue Bailong said.

Only then did Chu Yunfan know what he had done. No wonder he felt that the cult had launched their attack a little too early.

“Oh right, I’ve seen the two photos that you sent me. I didn’t expect the cult to have infiltrated so deeply. I’ll give the order to start making arrangements after we’ve eliminated the swarm. We will capture the cult spies,” Xue Bailong said.

He was referring to the photos of the two corrupted soldiers that Chu Yunfan had sent him.
