Chapter 864: Chapter 34: Eyes in the City
âOh? Yang Yangyang is back?â
Zhang Xiaoman was somewhat surprised.
As the temporary Resident of Guleng Star, Yang Yangyang rarely returns unless itâs for the daily transfer of supplies.
Now, rushing here to find him, he must have encountered something important.
âAlright, I got it. Iâll head over there myself. You go back first.â
He acknowledged with a nod, then sensed Yang Yangyangâs location, and instantly vanished from sight.
On the other side, on Seven Star Island.
Yang Yangyang was lying on a medical bed inside the Medical Department, accompanied by the siblings Mo Li and Mo Qi, undergoing a thorough medical examination.
âXiao Shun, Iâm really fine now, thereâs no need to keep checking. The injuries were healed by your Recovery Spell, and now itâs just a few scrapes. Weâre good enoughâŠâ
He looked helplessly at a man in a white Daring Clothes, who was none other than the head of the Medical Department, Xiao Shun.
Xiao Shun stood up from his chair, walked to his side, glanced at several nearby instruments, and said:
âHeh, heh, donât blame me, itâs Elder Liuâs orders. Guleng Star is an outer planet after all. If you werenât injured, just a walk through the sterilization room would suffice. But since youâre injured this time, you canât be let off so easily. A full-body examination is necessary.â
As he spoke, he patted Mo Qi on the shoulder.
âYou two also be sure to take protective measures, donât be careless, or itâll be troublesome if this guy spreads some virus to you.â
The siblings nodded in unison and continued to focus on their work.
These two are also veterans of the Medical Department, having followed Xiao Shun since the first batch, and have been part of numerous rescue missions, with high hopes of becoming Awakeners in the future.
On the medical bed, upon hearing these words, Yang Yangyang stopped arguing, lying there with a resigned look, letting them deal with him.
At this moment, his expression showed a mix of lingering fear and subtle delight.
His mind drifted to what happened earlier on Guleng Star and his eyes couldnât help but show a glimmer of anticipation.
Just then, a figure silently appeared beside them, leaving everyone startled, then they all reacted, bowing to the newcomer.
âStar Lord.â
Zhang Xiaoman waved his hand.
âDonât mind me, carry on.â
He walked to a corner of the room, observing and waiting for a while until Yang Yangyangâs examination was fully complete before addressing the main matter.
âSweater, tell me whatâs going on over there. How could a Mutant possibly injure you?â
He was quite concerned about this matter.
Before coming, Su Changqing had mentioned a bit, and when Yang Yangyang returned, it seemed like he was quite injured.
âItâs fine, thanks for the concern, Boss. But Iâm really okay; it was just that I bled a little excessively at first which looked scary, but it wasnât a serious issueâŠâ
He spoke as he hopped off the medical bed, bouncing a few times to show he was alright.
Zhang Xiaoman was noncommittal, quietly waiting for him to continue.
He knew very well how strong Yang Yangyang was, being one of the first Awakeners to follow him.
Regarding Dark Energy, although it wasnât over a thousand, he still reached seven or eight hundred.
To have injured him, the monsterâs strength must be extraordinarily formidable.
âAhem⊠itâs like thisâŠâ
Yang Yangyang began to explain.
âToday, I was going to routinely check the road leading to the Technology Center, as usual. But as I reached the edge of the overpass, through the window, I suddenly saw a giant monster roaming the cityâŠâ
âThat creature was unlike any Mutant Iâve seen; it was massive, about forty to fifty meters tall, not expanding its body, but appearing as a floating being with dozens of tentacles and a huge eye.â
âA big eyeâŠ?â
On the side, Xiao Shun was intrigued.
âWhat you described sounds a bit like that big eye in the Alliance, doesnât it?â
He was merely joking, but Yang Yangyang nodded, saying:
âYouâre right, it does look a bit like that, but its eye was red, without any armor or anything similar, looking more like a non-sentient creature⊠Oh right, I created its appearance using my watch. You can take a look.â
As Yang Yangyang spoke, he opened his Star Network Terminal and projected a three-dimensional holographic image.
This image was, of course, not something he recorded.
After all, those instruments couldnât be used on Guleng Star; it was something he later drew up using his watch.
The image looked rough, but one could still discern it was a city scene.
Tall buildings reached sky-high, and in between was a giant monster with tentacles tens of meters long.
The monster, as he described, had a big eye in the middle of its tentacles, and its overall shape resembled an octopus swimming in the water, which was quite peculiar.
âI saw it from the overpass back then, and it seemed to sense me too as its eyeball immediately came up to the window and stared at me. Honestly, it was quite scaryâŠâ
âThen what happened next? Did you fight with it? The penetrating wounds on your body, are they from it?â
