Chapter 736 The Plan Failed
The indoor space is neither small nor large.
Therefore, Pan Cheng and the others, who were busy registering information, also heard Bai Mianmian's words.
As their expressions changed slightly, they stopped moving.
The atmosphere inside the room instantly fell into a stagnant silence.
Bai Mianmian had already put away the mushroom phantom on her body and was waiting for one of them to help her contact Jiang Ci, but she noticed that Xin Xiao's expression was strange.
Bai Mianmian had a bad feeling. The moment she slightly lifted her eyelids, a cold light flashed in her eyes.
them……
Could it be that I've been lying to myself the whole time?
No one saw that the mushroom spores, which had been floating quietly in the air, suddenly became active.
Xin Xiao's empty right hand clenched unconsciously, and the fire-type supernatural energy was also faintly fluctuating, as if it would burst into flames at any moment.
He had put away his flaming sword before he came in.
After all, they've entered their own territory; it would be really inappropriate to still be carrying weapons.
But when he felt the murderous aura coming at him, he wished he still had the flaming sword in his hand, so that he wouldn't feel empty and without any confidence.
The tense atmosphere gradually escalated...
Just then, the thing Xu Ge was holding suddenly slipped from his hand.
Although he reacted quickly and reached out to try to save it, in the end, his fingertips only barely grazed the edge of the thing.
Having failed to salvage the object, Xu Ge could only watch helplessly as the basketball-sized metal lump crashed to the ground with a loud thud.
Xin Xiao and the others instantly turned to look as if they had just woken up.
"I'm sorry, ma'am, I didn't mean to." Xu Ge, looking shocked, immediately apologized to Bai Mianmian.
He had actually smashed that lady's things on the ground, and in such a tense atmosphere at that! This was terrible! Xu Ge screamed in his heart in terror.
Bai Mianmian, whose attention was also drawn to the sound, glanced at him without saying a word, and then looked back at Xin Xiao.
Seeing that she wasn't angry about it, Xu Ge immediately bent down to pick up the metal lump that had fallen to the ground.
However, perhaps because he was in too much of a hurry, when he picked up the metal lump from the ground, it slipped from his hand again as he straightened up.
"Clang...thud!" The basketball-sized metal lump slammed straight onto the ground again, this time hitting Xu Ge's right little toe as well.
"Ouch—!" Xu Ge let out a howl, then hugged his right foot with both hands and hopped on one foot, his face contorted in pain.
However, Pan Cheng and the others beside him were not worried about him at all.
They all believed that Xu Ge, who was already an A-level ability user, wouldn't be seriously injured even if that metal lump hit his foot.
Therefore, their gazes toward Xu Ge were filled with admiration, not concern or worry.
I never expected him to go to such lengths to divert that woman's murderous intent from the deputy regimental commander. I admire him!
Completely unaware of his companions' thoughts, Xu Ge was still hopping around while clutching his right foot.
At that moment, he felt like his little toe was going to break; it was so painful!
Awooo—!
Bai Mianmian, Xin Xiao, and Han Feitong all turned to look in that direction because of Xu Ge's howl.
Xin Xiao and Han Feitong, who were already on edge, relaxed after their attention was passively diverted twice.
Looking at Xu Ge's comical yet pained expression, Bai Mianmian seemed to see the scenes of Luo Ziyu and the others playing around in front of her and Jiang Ci many times before.
The faint killing intent emanating from her dissipated considerably.
The mushroom spores floating in the air were no longer as active as before. "Madam." Xin Xiao, having calmed down, turned to Bai Mianmian and broke the silence between them, saying, "I'm sorry, we are unable to contact our boss for you."
When Bai Mianmian heard them address Jiang Ci as the familiar "boss," her suspicion that they might have deceived her lessened somewhat.
However, she was still somewhat unhappy that they couldn't help her contact Jiang Ci!
Xin Xiao noticed that Bai Mianmian's complexion was noticeably better than before, so he knew that she was still willing to listen to their explanation.
Xin Xiao, who immediately felt a little relieved, quickly explained, "It's not that we don't want to help you contact our boss, it's just that we can't get in touch with him, or rather, we're unable to reach him."
Bai Mianmian looked at him with a slight frown, clearly dissatisfied with his explanation.
Xin Xiao took a breath, not continuing his explanation, but instead asked Bai Mianmian a question: "Madam, do you know where you are right now?"
Bai Mianmian didn't speak, but glanced at him indifferently.
Xin Xiao, having understood the look in those eyes, remained silent for a moment.
He then realized what he meant and continued, "Uh... ma'am, what I mean is, we are currently in the Marais Galaxy."
Bai Mianmian frowned.
What Marais Galaxy? Isn't it the Apocalypse Galaxy?
Bai Mianmian looked at Han Feitong, who was standing behind Xin Xiao, with a questioning gaze.
In the institute's warehouse, she was referring to the "Apocalypse Galaxy".
"..." Han Feitong's body stiffened slightly.
Why is she looking at me?
When Xin Xiao saw Bai Mianmian frowning and looking behind him, his heart skipped a beat.
He quickly added, "There is no signal connection between the Marais Galaxy and the Apocalypse Galaxy."
Upon hearing his words, Bai Mianmian did indeed turn her gaze back to him, just as he had hoped.
However, Xin Xiao did not breathe a sigh of relief. He carefully added, "So, here in the Marai system, we can't contact our boss who's in the Apocalypse system. Do you... understand what I mean?"
Xin Xiao's voice softened noticeably as he finished speaking, as if he was afraid that if he raised his voice, Bai Mianmian would get angry and blow them up.
After all, he had truly felt the murderous aura that had just swept over him.
He still hasn't figured out the growth logic of Bai Mianmian's superpowered mushroom.
All I know is that they can sprout up anywhere, whether on the surface of an inanimate object, on a living human body, or even in the air where there is nothing.
If Bai Mianmian really had the idea of blowing someone up at this moment, even he himself was not sure he could survive.
Bai Mianmian fell silent.
She had originally planned to contact Jiang Ci first to let him know she was safe.
After all, Jiang Ci must have been extremely worried when she fell into the wormhole in that way.
Because if she and Jiang Ci were switched places, she would be extremely worried about his safety.
After reporting that she was safe, she asked Xin Xiao and the others if they knew how to repair the terminal.
If her broken terminal can be repaired, she won't have any problem contacting Jiang Ci whenever she wants.
If it can't be fixed...
It's alright. Once she gets to the place the red-hatted, white-spotted mushroom in her mind mentioned, she should be able to return to the Apocalypse Galaxy through the wormhole after she's done.
As a result, she was told that they couldn't contact Jiang Ci!
Without warning, a heavy sense of oppression crashed down on Xin Xiao and the others.
"!" Xin Xiao and the others' eyes widened in surprise.
