Chapter 83: Liberty Alliance
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Ding and Liliath patiently waited for nightfall.
Neptune hacked the starport’s system and under his control, the canopy at the starport admittance platform began to open. The starport’s staff were scrambling to override the command but were unable to do so. In desperation, the system was completely shut down and they prepared to close off the canopy manually. However, they found themselves completely unable to take control of the mechanical contraption.
That was Robert’s doing. For him, the complexity of the machines left over from the war on Planet Constlac was child’s play. It only took him a few seconds to take over the entire operation, allowing him to remotely control the machine from a safe distance
Robert and Neptune’s joint effort had made it so that the starport was unable to control the admittance platform at all.
The news about the superweapons and the Army’s name list was sent to everyone on the entire planet’s smartwatches via a virus. This was all done by Neptune around the same time the canopy was opened.
Among the Interstellar Pirates who had planned to leave the planet immediately, many were excited by the incident. In particular, a few powerful Interstellar Pirates with bounties of more than 100 million on their head thought that it was a good opportunity to improve their net worth. For the ambitious bunch, this chance was naturally not something to be missed.
Starport Authority’s intention to lockdown the starport was revealed which made the already hot-headed Interstellar Pirates even angrier. Chaos soon began to erupt as the crowds grew increasingly unsettled at the starport.
It did not take long for the first foreign spaceship to arrive, which also happened to be a huge Golden Eagle grade spaceship. After docking at the starport, a tiny silhouette appeared at the cabin door.
Gu Ding narrowed his eyes and looked over to the spaceship, “It looks like an old lady ...”
It was indeed an old lady with her hands behind her back as she walked slowly out of the spaceship. She was quite petite, half a head shorter than Liliath, understandably her steps were tiny as well.
“She looks familiar.” Gu Ding could not remember where he had seen the old lady before.
Name: Grandma
Sex: Female
Age: 513
Alignment: Liberty Alliance
Gene Level: Level 10
Special Ability: Unknown
Other Abilities: Ten Stars Martial Arts Practitioner
Special Title: National Treasure
Neptune retrieved the old lady’s information quickly.
“Five hundred and thirteen years old...” Liliath was a little shocked at the old lady’s age.
“I remember now. She’s Grandma, a powerhouse that was awarded the title of National Treasure by the Lord. I read a news piece about her when I was five years old.” Gu Ding recalled that the old lady was a celebrity in Dragon Soar Cosmic Nation. “I haven’t heard about her in years. I actually thought she had died...”
Just when Gu Ding lowered his voice, he noticed the old lady was looking in his direction. She flashed a peace sign at him through the transparent cabin window with a smug smile on her face. She seemed to be saying, “Little brat, are you disappointed that I’m well and alive?”
Gu Ding suddenly wondered if she was able to see through the spaceship’s shield and hear everything he said. Not only that, she even managed to spot him the moment he talked about her. Only at that very moment did he grasp the power of a Level 10 Gene Body.
Cold sweat beaded out of Gu Ding’s back but fortunately, Grandma did not seem to be interested in pursuing him. After a while, she looked away from Gu Ding’s spaceship.
“What’s wrong? You don’t look so good.” Liliath noticed how pale Gu Ding’s face was.
“It’s nothing.” Gu Ding shook his head and diverted the attention to Neptune by asking, “Are Level 10 Gene Bodies able to see through a spaceship’s shielding system?”
“As long as someone has perceiving or detecting ability that exceeds Level 3, they’ll be able to see through that sort of shielding. The reason she was able to hear what you said wasn’t because she’s a Level 10 Gene Body. It’s because she’s a Level 10 martial arts practitioner, though, Level 10 Gene Bodies normally do have extraordinary senses,” Neptune explained.
There were also two martial arts practitioners with powerful auras that walked alongside Grandma. It seemed that they were also from the Liberty Alliance.
As their figures disappeared from the starport, the people sent by the Army to monitor the starport suddenly became terribly busy.
It did not take long for a second spaceship to arrive at the starport. It was a huge black spaceship with no markings on it which made it impossible to tell what alignment they were.
After the giant spaceship docked, only one person emerged from the hatch. The man wore a black cloak that covered his whole body and a silver mask that concealed his identity.
Neptune tried pulling up information on the person but found nothing. “That mask seems to have a special shielding effect. Their face is completely covered and even the shape of the body is concealed as well. I can’t extract a shred of data.”
When the person exited the hatch, their figure suddenly disappeared. In the blink of an eye, they appeared atop a tall building hundreds of meters away. The figure darted away swiftly in the direction where Grandma was headed.
Before nightfall, twenty-three spaceships had landed at Planet Constlac’s starport, one after another. With the exception of one commercial spaceship that came for business, the remaining twenty-two spaceships were all there for the superweapons.
“It’s almost time. The two of you should get ready. Don’t forget to bring the single-use combat consumables that Robert left for the two of you. You may need it later.” Neptune had them prepared as he saw the sky darken.
After they got everything ready, Gu Ding and Liliath walked toward the cabin hatch. As he grabbed Liliath’s wrist, his Level 7 Ultimate Arts was fully activated.
After a short pause, Neptune said, “Now!”
Suddenly, the hatch opened, and Gu Ding pulled Liliath with all his might, leaping into his Silent Step. After three leaps, he entered a small alley near the starport.
“Did anyone see us?” Gu Ding asked.
“No, two of them were busy arguing so nobody had time to look at our spaceship.” Neptune was very sure.
“You called them, right? What did you say to them?” Liliath was a little curious.
“I called them via their wife’s phone numbers and mimicked their voices to tell them I was pregnant. I thought they would be too overjoyed to continue monitoring, but instead, the two of them grew furious upon hearing that. They said that they’ve been working away from home for more than three months now and why I had the heart to do that to them...” Although the end goal was achieved, Neptune wondered why the reaction he got was completely different from what he expected.
“Maybe they don’t like children.” Gu Ding scratched his head and could not understand the problem either.
Liliath on the other hand was snickering beside them with her mouth covered.
“It doesn’t matter now, let’s move on to the next step!” Gu Ding did not understand why Liliath was laughing either. He just simply shook his head and said, “Neptune, show us the road map.”
