IMAO Chapter 134.2

Under the searchlights, they could only hear the man quietly counting down. When he reached one, the gunfire opposite them suddenly ceased.

The man slowly walked out. The three who had come down from the ship had been dealt with and now lay unconscious on the ground. “Pfft, are you using my modified gun as a stun baton?”

“It was convenient.” The other person’s face finally appeared fully on camera.

His looks were undeniably striking. Even the most critical sculptor couldn’t find fault with that face. His handsome features seemed to glow, leaving viewers not just unable to look away, but utterly shocked!

Merlin felt his breath catch.

Ji Rong.

This year’s undisputed close-combat champion of the Interstellar Mecha Competition!

At this moment, the identity of the other person was obvious.

It was Jiang Yuan!

The strongest Omega in the interstellar world!

Why were these two here? What were they doing?

Merlin was full of questions. Meanwhile, after Ji Rong exposed his face, the Interstellar Forum exploded!

Whether intentional or not, the ship’s pilot didn’t close the cabin door immediately after Jiang Yuan and Ji Rong dealt with those three people. Instead, they waited until both Jiang Yuan and Ji Rong entered before shutting it.

“Huff, huff, huff—”

Heavy breathing echoed in the ship. Jiang Yuan glanced around the cabin and pulled Noah out from his hiding spot in the corner. Noah looked stunned.

“It’s you guys… ah, I was scared earlier so I hid. Thank goodness you’re—”

Before he could finish saying “fine,” Noah saw the person in front of him shoot him with a stun gun. His entire body instantly went numb and lost consciousness…

Where had he slipped up? How did these two notice something was wrong?

It shouldn’t be possible…

These two couldn’t possibly know they were using cargo box colors as signals! He hadn’t even spoken. Shouldn’t they at least let him explain?

He should have been completely discreet. Even Cartier died without knowing it was him who betrayed them.

Merlin sneered. This idiot had just claimed to be the security team captain. What kind of captain hides because they’re scared? That explanation was obviously fake.

God YUAN must have noticed something off and knocked him out right away!

In fact, after the enemy attacked them, Jiang Yuan had already decided this guy was suspicious. Now that they were inside the ship, he didn’t think too much about it or want to hear any excuses. A stun shot would just knock him out. Even if the guy wasn’t bad, taking him along would be trouble. Better to just knock him out and keep things simple!

After entering the cabin, Jiang Yuan and Ji Rong surveyed their surroundings. Soon they heard a series of footsteps. It seemed the enemy had deliberately let them board the warship, planning to finish them off inside.

The enemies drew closer without firing and continued to approach them. They seemed unconcerned about facing just two people, given their numbers, and some were even talking loudly as they walked.

“What’s going on? We’ve got rats on board. Can’t believe Snark couldn’t even handle this. I really don’t get why the higher-ups made him the receiver.”

“Heh, give it a rest. Everyone knows you’re just jealous of Snark. Just because they didn’t pick you as the receiver last time. Stop the useless chatter. These guys are skilled. Don’t underestimate them.”

“What’s there to worry about? The entire ship is full of our people. Catching two people is a simple matter.”

Their voices carried far enough for Jiang Yuan to hear clearly.

Jiang Yuan held a gun he’d picked up earlier, gripping a modified laser gun in his right hand and a silver pistol in his left.

Soon, five shadows appeared in the corner’s light. Jiang Yuan and Ji Rong exchanged a glance, then quietly waited for the enemies to approach.

Suddenly, both sides found themselves at extremely close range, their bullets meeting in mid-air.

The electric shots traced an eerily precise path, following a strange trajectory as they whistled through the air, knocking down all five incoming bullets.

“Bang bang bang!”

“Bang bang bang!”

Jiang Yuan and Ji Rong aimed and fired simultaneously, charging forward while rolling and dodging all the bullets!

After the gunfire, three opponents fell unconscious from Jiang Yuan’s modified laser gun, while Ji Rong’s shots took down the other two.

Jiang Yuan and Ji Rong shared a look before immediately switching positions.

…

In a confined room—

“There’s gunshots outside!”

The boy who spoke was strikingly handsome, with slightly upturned eyes and beautiful phoenix eyes filled with indescribable tenderness. Hearing the gunshots didn’t frighten him. Instead, he felt happy!

His family must have found him!

They were coming to save him!

Aries’s joy was accompanied by a glance at the other boy in the room. The boy’s skin was pale, not a healthy pale, but one that held a sickly beauty!

This beautiful Omega had been locked up here longer than him. Aries had only been brought in two days ago, and he’d learned some disturbing news from the guards…

Like how this beautiful person in front of him had been just as rebellious as him before arriving, but now he was completely docile because… because all his memories had been erased!

They used electric currents on the scalp and brain to wipe away the memory layers!

Before, Aries had thought that even if he was sold, he could at least contact his family and escape back home. But after learning about this memory-wiping technology, he was terrified!

Without memories, how could he even think of running away?

The boy locked up with him was one whose memories had been erased. Aries believed they’d done more than just wipe his memories. They must have done something else too, because the boy was very weak. It was a sign that an Alpha’s mark was forcibly removed! The Omega imprisoned with him probably hadn’t just had his mark erased, but also… also been forced to undergo an abortion.

When Aries was first locked up here, he’d noticed a scar on the boy’s stomach, but it had now vanished after treatment with their devices.

…

“Hong, what are you doing? Hurry up and deal with those two who got in! They’re—”

“I know.”

The man called Hong replied coolly over his comm channel. This really was an unfair fight, since he knew exactly where they were. But these two mice who’d snuck in had already stirred up everyone on the ship. All the confined “goods” were now peering out through their transparent windows.

Hoping to be rescued?

Haha, it was time to show them what despair meant.

Gunshots rang out continuously.

As the battle continued, more and more stunned bodies littered the ground.

“Hong, hurry up! At this rate, everyone will be knocked out!”

“No need to go over there. They’ll come up soon enough,” Hong sneered.

In a corner, a lone fighter gripped his gun. Just as he turned the corner, a hand grabbed his gun and pushed it up. The next second, the attacker kicked him in the groin. The poor isolated guy instinctively let go, and Jiang Yuan pinned the enemy’s throat with his knee, giving him a harsh strike.

Jiang Yuan grabbed the now incapacitated man and demanded, “Where are you keeping your kidnapped victims?”

“I… I don’t know…”

Jiang Yuan glanced at the person, then knocked them out cold.

As Jiang Yuan and Ji Rong reached the upper level, gunfire erupted again. The two moved in perfect sync, one covering while the other advanced. Their modified stun guns fired continuously, taking down several enemies in seconds.

They searched and fought their way through multiple groups of enemies before finally reaching the top floor.

Jiang Yuan and Ji Rong checked each room one by one, shooting the locks and kicking down doors, only to find most rooms empty!

Just as they were breaking down doors, footsteps echoed from next door.

Jiang Yuan and Ji Rong immediately abandoned their room search, pressing themselves against opposite sides of the doorway.

As the footsteps drew closer, a deep male voice rang out. “I’ve been waiting for you!”

As his words faded, something round rolled between them. A blinding flash followed, turning the entire visual feed white. It was impossible to see anything!

After the flash, Jiang Yuan fired an electric bolt with lightning speed, but a bullet intercepted it mid-air!

At this moment—

Mickey’s heart clenched. Cheating! They’re using flash bombs!

Although Yuan and Rong were skilled, they had no lethal weapons, let alone equipment like flash bombs. Their weapons couldn’t kill, even if they functioned similarly to firearms…

But this team that suddenly appeared were clearly combat veterans!

Aim, lock, fire!

Jiang Yuan took down an enemy with incredible speed.

Ji Rong clutched his left hand. A bullet had lodged in his bone when he couldn’t dodge in time.

Jiang Yuan fired continuously. The enemy had experts too. Bullets and electric bolts collided at close range, with bullets striking the spaceship’s metal hull, leaving deep impact craters.

When both sides reached a stalemate, Jiang Yuan asked quietly, “How are you?”

Ji Rong glanced at his bleeding arm and gritted out. “I’m fine.”
