Chapter 360 Silence...

"Jun Tao, Commander, you take over."

After giving a hasty explanation, Jiang Ci vanished in a flash.

By the time Zhuo Juntao realized what was happening and looked towards the door, Jiang Ci was already out of sight through the wide-open door of the command room.

After leaving the house, Jiang Ci headed straight for the training ground, activating his terminal screen to request a video call connection with Bai Mianmian.

Screams filled the training ground.

"Oh…"

"Ouch, it hurts, it hurts..."

Lin Shiqing and his group fell from mid-air to the ground of the training field one after another.

Fortunately, the training ground was big enough, otherwise they would have been slapped on the wall by now.

However, judging from their loud cries of pain, their injuries should not be serious.

Bai Mianmian glanced at them casually and found that they were all still able to move and there were no serious injuries or deaths, so she ignored them.

"Xiao Zhi No. 1, how are you?" Bai Mianmian looked at the Xiao Zhi No. 1 robot still standing in front of her.

Sensing that the danger had passed, Xiao Zhi No. 1 robot turned to look at Bai Mianmian and said, "Mianmian, Xiao Zhi No. 1 is alright."

However, when the Xiaozhi No. 1 robot turned around, there were multiple dents on its chest, abdomen, arms, and legs.

Bai Mianmian's eyes darkened slightly, but before she could say anything, Jiang Ci's video call request came through.

"Mianmian, are you hurt?"

As soon as the video call connected, Jiang Ci asked anxiously, while looking at her with concern.

"I'm fine." Bai Mianmian shook her head, then pointed the camera at Lin Shiqing and the others, saying, "However, something happened to them."

Seeing the group of people lying on the ground, Jiang Ci frowned slightly. The medical staff…

In the short time it took for the two of them to exchange those two sentences, the training ground where Bai Mianmian was located was already close at hand. Suddenly, Jiang Ci's eyes narrowed slightly, and a dangerous glint flashed in them.

On the other side of the terminal screen, Lin Shiqing stood up from the ground with a dark expression. His cold eyes locked onto a person instantly, and without hesitation, he walked directly towards that person.

Because everyone was so disoriented from the fall, no one noticed his movements for a moment.

"What happened with that explosion just now?" someone asked, clutching their chest and wincing in pain.

Fortunately, their own defenses were quite strong, otherwise they would have suffered much more serious injuries.

"Phew~ Was that an A-grade crystal core just now?"

"No way, wait, where did that explosion just happen? Who set it off?"

"What are you doing, woo~" Amid the discussion, someone suddenly shouted in terror, then the voice abruptly stopped.

In an instant, whether it was those who had already recovered from the explosion and were rushing to check if Bai Mianmian was alright, or those who were discussing what had just happened, everyone turned to look at the owner of that voice.

But then they saw Lin Shiqing holding a man's chin with one hand, forcing him to open his mouth, and pouring a vial of medicine into the man's mouth with the other.

The unusual sound also made Bai Mianmian look over.

Lin Shiqing's technique for administering the medicine was very steady. By the time the person realized what was happening and tried to struggle, not a single drop of the medicine was spilled; it was all fed into the person's mouth.

Finally, he raised the hand that was gripping the chin, forcing the man to swallow all the remaining medicine in his mouth.

Seeing the oppressive atmosphere surrounding Lin Shiqing, no one offered a helping hand to the person who had been given the drug, and no one even asked about the situation.

They even endured the pain and moved a little further away from Lin Shiqing.

Don't let his usual easygoing demeanor fool you; he's anything but easy to talk to when he's like this! It proves he's genuinely angry right now.

But why did he get so angry?!
Everyone immediately recalled with trepidation, wondering if they had accidentally offended him just now.

"What did you give me to drink? Ugh! Ugh!" Zhao Chuan broke free from Lin Shiqing's grip on his chin and turned his head to spit out the medicine in his mouth.

He spat twice, but what came out was just his saliva.

After realizing there was nothing in his mouth to vomit, Zhao Chuan immediately tried to induce vomiting by gagging himself.

Even if he vomits everything out now, he won't be completely unharmed, but at least the symptoms won't be so severe that he can't be saved.

However, Zhao Chuan's hand went limp without warning as soon as he raised it, and then he collapsed to the ground.

"The 'softening potion,' why did you use it on me?" Zhao Chuan glared angrily at Lin Shiqing.

At this moment, apart from being unable to move his body, his demeanor and emotions were completely unaffected.

Therefore, at this moment, his tone of voice and his expression conveyed an air of utter innocence and utter anger.

But after his roar, the command room became so quiet it was as if no one was there.

Bai Mianmian watched this scene in surprise. Not a single person spoke up for that person. Was that person so unpopular in the Second Legion?

It's not that Zhao Chuan is unpopular; it's that people who can get Lin Shiqing to take action dare not question him because they've had too many experiences of being humiliated.

"Boss." Suddenly someone called out in the quiet atmosphere.

This reminder alerted everyone else to Jiang Ci's arrival.

Immediately, people started to greet them, a stark contrast to the previous silence.

When Zhao Chuan saw Jiang Ci appear, his expression froze for a moment, but in less than half a second, he regained his angry expression of being innocently persecuted.

Jiang Ci immediately looked Bai Mianmian up and down, and after coming to her side, he carefully observed her complexion and breathing.

Once he confirmed that she had no external injuries, her breathing was steady, and her complexion was still rosy, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Jiang Ci finally turned his attention to Lin Shiqing and the others, "How are you?"

"It's alright, it's not a big problem."

"I might need to lie in the treatment pod."

"I……"

One by one, the people reported on their own situations.

Finally, when it came to Lin Shiqing, he said, "Minor injury."

He then recounted the events before and after the explosion, concluding, "The crystal cores of the cuttlefish insects we purified had already been extracted, so it was impossible for them to explode while purifying pollutants."

The purification ability users who were blown away blinked, and then, as if suddenly enlightened, their faces instantly showed an expression of "I understand now".

Zhao Chuan, who was lying on the ground and couldn't find a good opportunity to speak, looked flustered when he heard this.

"Why not? Maybe the people dealing with the Cuttlefish Insect Clan missed it?" Zhao Chuan shouted. After saying that, he glanced at Bai Mianmian, and then looked at Wang Chen.

quiet……

When Zhao Chuan's gaze fell upon the crowd who could see it clearly, they all fell silent for a moment.

Then, as if they hadn't seen anything, everyone turned their gaze away simultaneously.

"Tch~" Lin Shiqing looked at Zhao Chuan with disdain and said, "With a brain like yours, what made you so stupid as to do something bad?"

Zhao Chuan's expression changed.
