Chapter 190 Lu Xi (Additional Chapter for Alliance Leader Hua Yueye) (Fifth Update)

The three immediately split up to search. Su Ming first came to the desk area. The bookshelves were filled with books, and the desk had various documents on it.

Su Ming picked up the documents on the desk, flipped through them, and quickly put them back.

Most of these documents were about funding and material approval, with no significant value.

Next, Su Ming focused on the bookshelves. He began to look through the books placed there, hoping to find some key information about winning the league.

Unfortunately, Su Ming searched for a long time but found nothing.

These books were all very normal, with no hidden notes or anything similar.

Just as Su Ming was at a loss, a slight tremor suddenly occurred.

Su Ming was slightly startled and turned his head to look.

At the end of the room, a crack appeared in the wall next to the bed, revealing an entrance. An Ruoxue stood beside the headboard, her hand still pressed against the decorative pattern on the headboard.

Su Ming and Lin Chuyu quickly walked over. An Ruoxue smiled at them and said,

“It seems I’m lucky. Like a blind cat finding a dead mouse, I managed to open such a hidden mechanism.”

Su Ming glanced at An Ruoxue, then raised the beam pistol in his hand and said,

“Let’s go in and see. Maybe they’re hiding inside. Both of you, follow me!”

“Okay!”

Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue also raised their beam pistols.

Su Ming cautiously walked in. Beyond the door was a dimly lit staircase, with only emergency lights on.

Su Ming descended the stairs step by step, with Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue close behind.

Soon after, Su Ming and the two reached the end of the stairs, arriving in a secret room spanning over a thousand square meters.

Su Ming scanned the room, seeing metal shelves filled with various boxes and file bags, and large wooden crates in the corner, but no living beings.

“I didn’t expect such a large secret room to be hidden here.”

Lin Chuyu said with considerable surprise.

“Yes, it’s a truly pleasant surprise. But it’s also normal; those royal members love to create these hidden rooms.”

An Ruoxue replied with a smile.

“Time is short, let’s spread out and search.”

After Su Ming said this to the two, he walked towards the metal shelves in front.

An Ruoxue and Lin Chuyu then also split up to search.

Su Ming walked up to a metal shelf and took down a box from it. He found the box to be very heavy, even though he was wearing exoskeleton armor.

He immediately opened the box and looked inside, seeing a silver-white ore with special patterns on its surface.

Although Su Ming didn’t recognize it, he knew it must be very valuable. However, since this was a virtual world, its value was negligible, so he put it back directly.

Su Ming continued forward, arriving at a shelf filled with numerous file bags.

He casually picked up a file, opened it, and took out a document.

When Su Ming opened this document and saw its content, his eyes showed a hint of surprise. It was the design blueprint for the fourth-generation bio-mecha Sinew, densely marked with various parameters and data.

He carefully looked through it, and the more he read, the stranger his expression became.

Although he didn’t understand bio-mecha manufacturing, Su Ming could guarantee one hundred percent that the document in his hand contained genuine data!

The Federal Government was too bold, daring to use such top-secret information as the background for a competition.

Su Ming felt increasingly uneasy, so he put the document back in its original place and walked further in.

Along the way, Su Ming opened several more documents, and the more he read, the more startled he became. These documents recorded various gene fission data of Kirami. What shocked Su Ming the most was one particular document, which detailed the changes in Kirami’s gene sequence after it consumed humans.

Su Ming took a few deep breaths, suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and continued to walk deeper.

Soon after, Su Ming reached the end, where a smooth metal wall came into view.

Su Ming glanced at it, turned, and was about to leave when he suddenly stopped.

He turned back to face the smooth metal wall, his gaze sweeping over it repeatedly.

At this moment, Su Ming slowly squatted down. He noticed very inconspicuous fingerprint marks on the wall, about seventy centimeters from the ground.

He tried to touch it, but nothing unusual happened.

However, when Su Ming subconsciously pressed down slightly, he immediately triggered a primitive mechanical switch.

Click

A very small, long hidden compartment popped out of the metal wall.

Su Ming looked inside the compartment, where only one document was placed. He subconsciously took it out and glanced at it.

When Su Ming saw the contents, he instantly felt as if he had been electrocuted, closing the document in his hand, his face showing an extremely horrified expression.

He immediately turned his head to look back at Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue, who were both searching in the distance.

Su Ming did not hesitate for a moment, putting the document back into the hidden compartment, then pushing the compartment back in, restoring the entire metal wall to its original state.

Next, he wiped off the fingerprints on the wall. After doing all this, Su Ming took a deep breath, calming himself down.

Unfortunately, the information from that document kept replaying in Su Ming’s mind, making it impossible for him to ignore.

Having experienced war for many years, he knew better than anyone how fatal this document could be to the Federation. If it were truly leaked, things could change drastically.

Su Ming didn’t understand how the Federation dared to display this document in the league.

Weren’t they afraid of it being seen?

Su Ming didn’t know if his actions had been seen by the audience outside. He could only gamble now that the audience hadn’t seen clearly in the instant he flipped through it.

Thinking of this, Su Ming adjusted his emotions, turned, and walked towards Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue in the distance.

“How is it? Did you find anything?”

Su Ming called out as he approached.

Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue heard Su Ming’s call, then put down what they were holding and walked over to meet him.

“Still haven’t found any methods or information about winning the league, but the data here is astonishing.”

An Ruoxue said with a sigh.

“It truly is astonishing. This is all top-secret information. Did we perhaps see something we shouldn’t have?”

Lin Chuyu was also very uneasy at this moment.

“We definitely saw what we shouldn’t have, but it’s not like we wanted to see it. The Federation set it up themselves. They can’t possibly blame us, can they?”

An Ruoxue replied with a smile.

“Probably not, but since there’s no valuable information here, let’s go.”

Su Ming said to the two very naturally.

“Leaving so soon? Not looking around more?”

An Ruoxue was also a bit surprised, asking with some reluctance.

“There’s nothing more to see. We’re not from the mechanical department or researchers; we don’t understand the data here. There’s no point in staying longer. We might as well go out and explore other areas.”

Su Ming said very rationally.

“I think Su Ming makes sense. The things here aren’t helpful to us.”

Lin Chuyu also expressed agreement.

“Alright, then let’s go.”

An Ruoxue said with a smile.

Just then, a wooden box in the corner of the wall not far away suddenly moved, making a very faint sound.

Su Ming heard the faint sound very keenly, then turned his head to look at the wooden box in the corner, raising the beam gun in his hand and shouting,

“Who’s there?”

An Ruoxue and Lin Chuyu were also startled, raising their beam guns and pointing them at the wooden box.

At this moment, the wooden box in the corner moved again.

“Could Kirami have snuck in here? Should we shoot?”

An Ruoxue suggested to Su Ming.

“Don’t shoot yet, let’s see what’s hiding in the wooden box first.”

Su Ming then cautiously approached.

“Su Ming, that’s too dangerous.”

Lin Chuyu watched Su Ming walk over, reminding him with great concern.

“It’s okay, I’ll be careful.”

Su Ming replied very calmly, his eyes fixed on the wooden box.

Soon, he approached the box, swiftly extended his foot to kick open the lid, immediately retreated to create distance, and aimed his gun at the wooden box.

Inside the wooden box, a ball of blue something was curled up.

“What is this?”

Su Ming said, frowning deeply.

“Not sure, let’s get closer and see.”

Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue then also walked over.

The three cautiously walked to the side of the wooden box and looked carefully inside.

Inside the wooden box, a small girl with a petite figure, wearing a fancy blue dress, light blue hair, a round and cute face, fair skin with a blush, large gem-like eyes, and a blue and white fur hat on her head, turned her head and looked at Su Ming and the two with a pitiful expression.

“A living person?”

Su Ming was slightly startled seeing the little girl in front of him, and immediately moved the beam gun away from her.

Just as Su Ming was about to step forward, An Ruoxue suddenly spoke.

“Su Ming, don’t go near her! We’ve been in here so long and haven’t seen a single survivor. For one to suddenly appear now, she might be a Kirami parasitic body. Approaching rashly is very dangerous.”

An Ruoxue pointed her beam gun at the little girl, reminding him very seriously.

However, at this moment, the little girl timidly spoke.

“My name is Lu Xi, and I’m not a bad person.”

“She can talk, so she shouldn’t be a parasitic body.”

Lin Chuyu said in surprise.

Su Ming heard Lu Xi speak, then walked up to her and asked softly,

“Lu Xi, how did you end up here? Where are your father and mother?”

“My father told me to hide here. He said it was safe and someone would come to rescue me. Have you seen my father?”

Lu Xi asked nervously.

“What’s your father’s name?”

Su Ming asked as gently as possible.

“My father’s name is Abosa.”

Lu Xi then said to Su Ming.

“Abosa, isn’t that the King of the Taboken Kingdom? You’re the princess of this kingdom.”

Lin Chuyu said with great astonishment.

Lu Xi nodded timidly, acknowledging it.

Su Ming then realized, and said,

“I understand. She is the key condition for winning the league. As long as we get her off the planet, we win!”

“That’s great.”

Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue were also very delighted.
