The Death List Novel - Chapter 579
Chapter 579 Suspicion
“Sir, more than half of the aura of the insects we left outside the ruins has disappeared.” Black leaned over to Gan Luo and whispered, “It hasn’t been long since the first warning came from them. The enemies attacking are very strong!”
“En!” Gan Luo nodded noncommittally. He just looked at a broken metal ball in his hand and asked indifferently, “Have you found the location of the lost cluster?”
“Roddy said that he heard three movements in the ruins. The other party should have dispersed.” Hearing this, Black looked at a figure lying on the ground behind him.
After Chaos Team entered this world, all of them were transformed into saber roaches of the arachnid race. However, through the modulation of the arachnid blood pool, the saber roaches also had some branches with different abilities.
At this time, the descending Apostle, who was lying on the ground, had obtained an extremely powerful perceptual ability in this world. As a result, it was subsequently modified into a kind of knife roach butterfly that was extremely sensitive to biological magnetic fields. Within his range of perception, he was not only able to distinguish all the different creatures, but also to find each other by relying on the reflection of the surrounding matter to the magnetic field.
“Three against three? Haha, interesting!” Gan Luo smiled indifferently. Before they entered, the team was also divided into three groups. “Oh right, did you get in touch with the line we buried?”
“The inside line has been contacted. The movements Roddy detected are accurate. The other party doesn’t seem to have set up any back-up in the ruins!” Black nodded and said hesitantly, “In addition, the insider sent us a list of the members of this lost guild. Apart from the two targets we had previously contacted, as well as the female leader, Apostle Robin, there is also a surprising fellow …”
“Qin Lun? Are you saying that the guy that Kelly saved is also on this team?” Gan Luo turned to look at Black, squinted his eyes, and said with a faint smile, “This is really a … big surprise!”
“My lord, that Qin Lun’s plan for the City Hegemon Battle is very wonderful. We are now proceeding so smoothly. Will there be any tricks involved?” Black said worriedly.
“So what? Under absolute strength, any conspiracy is futile.” Gan Luo sneered.
‘”Sir, please be careful. We seem to have trapped them in the ruins, and they are fighting together. However, if we include the guild outside the ruins, we are the ones being attacked.” Black frowned.
‘”You mean” Gan Luo’s scaled face twitched slightly and his gaze finally became serious. “But from the previous analysis, the timeline of the two guilds should not have crossed!”
‘”My lord, even if they haven’t interacted before, the level of technology in this world is very high. It’s hard to say if they have any means of ultra-long-range communication. Besides, Holy Light Team’s battle in the X-352 galaxy is not very clear. Should we ask that Wolf again?” Black’s eyes lit up as he carefully suggested.
“Wolf won’t tell us. It’s one thing for him to compromise with us in order to protect his companions, but he won’t be willing to help us. He’s pushing us too hard. It’ll only be more troublesome to mix in some false information.” Gan Luo waved his hand and refused, “However, what you said makes sense. You can’t make any mistakes at the last moment. Ask the insider. He should know the exact situation of that battle.”
After Gan Luo finished speaking, he turned around and found that Black’s expression was a little ugly. He immediately thought to himself, “Have you already asked?”
“Yes, Your Excellency, he refuses to provide detailed information!” Black said helplessly, “He said that the information he provided meets the agreed conditions. If we rely entirely on him, even if we defeat the Lost Party, we will not be able to convince the hearts of the people.”
“Haha, if he was that tough, he wouldn’t have yielded back then. Looks like the lost group gave him the confidence to resist.” Gan Luo laughed furiously, and a ferocious light burned in his eyes. “Alright then, let him finally send over the coordinates and remind him that there will never be a good ending between the first and second rats.”
…
Fifteen minutes ago, when Gan Luo and the others had just arrived at the ruins, Qin Lun ended his call with Robin and the others, but he did not immediately take action. He only asked Alex and the others to release all the detectors to monitor the movement of the passageway behind him.
“Alex, Vera … it’s too late for you to regret it now!” Qin Lun stood quietly for a while, then turned to look at the young pilots behind him.
‘”Sir, I don’t think I need to repeat myself. As long as you can do what you promised us, I, Vera, Merry, Phil … are willing to pay any price for it!” Alex replied firmly.
The soldiers raised their arms and bowed to Qin Lun and the other Apostle. They turned around and strode towards the corridor behind them. Qin Lun and the others only had four other silent military armors left beside them.
“Where are they going, Alex?” Sawa looked at the distant Alex and the others, then looked at Qin Lun who was standing in front of the gate, her face full of confusion. “Sir, I don’t understand. Aren’t we going to hide?”
Qin Lun smiled and didn’t say anything as he looked at the mech next to Sawa that belonged to Flying Officer Keith.
“Sawa, I’m sorry. I’ve been hiding this from you for so long. Let me answer this question!” Suddenly, a spherical cockpit popped out of the mech’s chest. A slender figure wearing a tight spacesuit reached out and lifted the hatch lid, appearing in front of Sawa.
“Guild Leader Robin?! Aren’t you on another team?” Sawa widened her eyes and looked at the beautiful Guild Leader in disbelief.
“Yes, Guild Leaders, you should give us an explanation now!” Robben’s voice rang out from the spot. One of the four mechs jumped out of the cockpit. Robben stood up from the cockpit with a serious expression.
Robin glanced at Qin Lun beside him. Seeing that he had nothing to say, he sighed. He frowned slightly and said, “Qin Lun, before entering this world, he warned me through Big Sister Kelly that there might be a mole in the temporary team of inspectors.”
“Mole? Did you find anything?” Sawa asked in surprise.
“No, we didn’t find anything. Even up until now, this is only Qin Lun’s guess.” Robin smiled bitterly and said, “However, he still persuaded me. That’s why he hid some precautions from you now.”
“Why now?” Sawa asked, puzzled, “If Lord Qin Lun knew of a mole, he would have had many opportunities to prove it before entering Palanto.”
“No, it was impossible to uncover the spies at that time. This world was too special, restricting Apostle’s soul imprint communication. The telepathic distance was too short, and the spies didn’t have the chance to betray us while they were in outer space.” Dean climbed out of the two brothers on the left of the remaining two mechs.
“You all know about this as well, are you hiding it from me alone?” Sawa curled her lips and looked at everyone discontentedly.
“Brother and I only discussed this matter privately. After such a long time, we even forgot. I didn’t expect Lord Qin Lun to have already made preparations.” Dean said with a sullen face, pretending to be old-fashioned.
“You … why?” Hearing that Robben and Dean didn’t know beforehand, Sawa’s emotions calmed down a little, but her face was still full of doubt. “But the other two major alliances of the Horn of the Devil are chasing us for the sake of poaching. If they used such despicable methods, wouldn’t they be afraid that the target of the poaching wouldn’t be convinced?”
“No way. Think about it, Sawa. If we were to suddenly encounter betrayal at a critical moment, what emotions would you have and what would you think in your mind?” Qin Lun asked with a chuckle. Their current communication was limited to a small range of telepathy, so he didn’t care about the other two groups listening.
“I will … be very depressed and furious!” Sawa wasn’t stupid. After Qin Lun reminded her, her face revealed a thoughtful expression. “She won’t trust her other companions anymore, and the team will be torn apart.”
‘”It’s not just our guild that split. When you were betrayed, you would resent the betrayers and the enemy alliance. But when you calmed down, you would lose confidence in the Lost and Order Alliance. It doesn’t feel worth staying in this split alliance anymore. It seems like another alliance is a good choice.”
Qin Lun said calmly, “When you enter the Gospel World, the enemy alliance will pursue you. However, in reality, the battle has already begun since the moment the Light Party was destroyed.” “The three great alliances of the Horn of Devils are not just a collection of interests, they are also a collection of different faiths. The Primordial Chaos and Apostle Tombstone want to poach from the Orderly Front. They not only need to defeat you in terms of martial power, they also need to destroy your Orderly Faith first.”
“Alright, I understand!” Following Qin Lun’s narration, not only did Sawa understand, but the others besides Robin also fell into deep thought. They had never thought from this angle before.
“Lord Qin Lun, since you’ve considered this, you should have already suspected someone in your heart, right?” Robben asked cautiously.
“Before entering this world, other than Robin, Frank and I, everyone else was my suspect. However, due to the particularity of this world, I was unable to exclude them.” Qin Lun helplessly spread out his hands.
“But we only have seven mechs left. You, Frank, me, brother, Guild Leader Robin, and Sawa, plus Bobby, who is staying on the Attack, have narrowed your suspicions to two people.” Dean’s gaze was burning as he looked at Qin Lun with admiration. He pointed at the last soldier who did not reveal his identity. “I guess he is the Guild Leader of Bahrain, isn’t he?”
“Wahaha, I finally saw you make a fool of yourself!” The remaining mecha suddenly let out a childish voice, “Brat, guess who my brother is?”
“Bobby?!” Dean opened his mouth in surprise. “You’re not … Oh, I understand. This is part of the plan!” Dean was stunned.
‘”This is my temporary intention after I entered Palanto. Bobby’s body will no longer be able to recover until he returns to the starry sky. His consciousness trails have been combined together. However, at that time, all of his armor was also within his fusion range and could also attach to his consciousness.”
Robin explained with a smile, “Bobby’s biological particle state ability is perfect for exploring ruins. In order to prevent possible spies from discovering it, I concealed it from everyone.”
“In that case, some of the remaining three companions who did not appear here betrayed us.” Sawa frowned and looked at Qin Lun, “But … Sir, why are it Bahrain, Huo Biao, and Bo Wei? Why aren’t they one of us?”
