Chapter 1700 The Location Changed
"They got a world cannon here? Is it like the star weapon or what?" he didn't get what the world cannon meant, but it felt like it was a scary weapon. The reporter bragged about how deadly the world cannon they got was, how it wiped out tons of hostile spaceships in mere hours!
"See? They are fighting brutally up there. We have to go, or else the Hescos will retreat and the war will be over."
"Don't jinx us," Hye reprimanded her, "plus this war won't end like this, not this fast. The Hescos… They haven't started acting seriously yet."
"Says the expert," she motioned to him as she knew he dealt with the Hescos for a long time and knew their habits. Hye recalled the many times he clashed against them, knew how stubborn and arrogant they were, and refused to admit defeat even in the most unfavourable situations.
This wasn't the real stage of the war, not even close from the heated points of it. Hye took this as an early wave of the Hescos to test the defences of this world, just a scout army, not even a vanguard one.
And yet from the words of that reporter, he knew there were weapons out there that could wipe out thousands of ships in mere minutes! That was threatening indeed, as at any moment he could get hit by such lethal hits.
That made him hesitate between either going out from this world right away or waiting for a week or so for his heart trees to yield their harvest.
"Let's wait for Smiggy, once he comes, we'll go out there," he said, deciding about the issue he had in mind, while the nymph lady got what he said in another meaning.
"Why not call him? Urge him to come?"
Hye looked at her without saying anything. He already tried to contact the man, but got no response as the latter was busy dealing with the opportunities presented to him.
They remained like this for two more days. On the third day, early in the morning, Hye got a message from Smiggy.
[The location changed]
[Damn man! You know I waited for you at the sector you specified!] Hye just woke up when he received the message. The lady nymph was lying next to him, sleeping and snoring!
[You do know the times have changed. I got a tip, about a young human who used the scary Soulers to his aid. Don't tell me you know him!]
[Not in the slightest!] Hye got the meaning behind Smiggy's words. The latter was warning him that news about him spread, and soon enough the higher ups would come looking for him.
And that was a red flag to Hye.
[Where do you want me to go?]
Smiggy told him the new place of their meeting. Luckily it was in the same sector, but in a remote location than the previous one. They already rented a room here, just half an hour walk from the old meeting place.
Hye woke the nymph lady up, told her in brief what happened, before the two started running for their lives and for the meeting.
As Smiggy used to do, he gave Hye a very short deadline for their meeting. This was an act to make sure no one would prepare a setup at the meeting place, just an act of caution.
They had to move on foot this time, and ran for two hours straight. Smiggy was kind enough this time to send a detailed map for the two to use, with directions to help them arrive at the meeting in the shortest and safest path possible.
He knew the two wouldn't take any public transport vehicle or anything to avoid getting spotted. Right now, they were two outlaws, wanted by the official regime of the world. And they have to keep a low profile to save their lives.
Hye didn't know why he was the only one suspected and marked from all who attacked the bases and looted the spaceships. However this was unavoidable, as Soulers were a very infamous race in the world, with no one usually having them on their side like how Hye did.
Only someone crazy and weird like Hye would do such a thing. And without realising it, his strongest traits became his weakest spot this time.
The two kept running while not stopping for even one second. These two hours were quite exciting and filled with adrenaline, a moment that the two of them would laugh about in the future whenever they'd recall it.
As they arrived at the meeting place, the two were surprised to see where Smiggy led them. [Hey! You led us into a trap?!!] This was the first thought that came into Hye's mind the moment he spotted that place.
Hye expected different places for the meeting, never thought that Smiggy would invite him to one of the destroyed bases in this sector!
In front of the two, a big base was, one that got everything burnt down or destroyed. Thick tongues of smoke were still rising up, and many dead bodies were on the ground. Wrecked spaceships and lots of destroyed defences were everywhere.
It was the last place any of these two would want to be. And that made Hye feel like he got screwed by Smiggy.
"Hey, don't speak dirty about me when I'm just next to you!" Smiggy suddenly appeared from the underground opening, one that none of the two noticed before. It was just ten metres away to the right, and from it, Smiggy's face appeared.
He still used that gadget to cover up the features of his face, and the device to change his voice. "Come, the last place the enemy would expect you to appear at is the safest."
"And the most dangerous as well," Hye had no other choice but to follow the man into this underground bunker. The hole Smiggy came out from led to a tunnel, one that ended up into a huge bunker.
