Chapter 76: Chapter 73: Return"It’s just a pity that we caught the Night Slayer Team’s weakness but couldn’t take them down this time!" A member of the ninth team couldn’t help but sigh. Yang Lie and others nearby nodded in agreement, looking as though they felt the same way. Listening to their words, Su Yu couldn’t help but smile and waved his hand, "Why is it a pity? The loss the Night Slayer Team suffered this time may be more serious than everyone imagines!" Su Yu had already analyzed before that Li He’s meditation technique was likely tied to the number of members in the Night Slayer Team. And this time, Li He’s decision to split his forces and personally lead a hunt by bringing newcomers along further solidified Su Yu’s suspicion. Of course. What ultimately made Su Yu come to a definite conclusion was the last desperate fight by Lei Wu and others. In these wild lands, loyalty is a rare quality. Su Yu was not naive enough to think that everyone could have this quality, but neither was he so narrow-minded to believe that this planet no longer had such loyal people. But the issue stands. One person being loyal, two people being loyal, three people being loyal, all these are possible. But for Lei Wu’s small team, more than ten people, including a new scout who had just joined the Night Slayer Team recently, all fought "bravely" to their very last breath. Their loyalty warranted a question mark. For this reason, after dealing with Lei Wu and others, Su Yu specifically diverted some spiritual energy into the corpses of Lei Wu and others for investigation. Although the spiritual imprints left by Li He in them dissipated quickly after their deaths, the remaining trace was extremely apparent to Su Yu, whose spiritual ability level had reached the top of two stars, like a candle in the dark. This realization made Su Yu instantly aware that Lei Wu and others had long become puppets secretly manipulated by Li He. "I am unsure how many puppets Li He has that can fight to the death for him, but judging by the fact that Li He hasn’t even broken into four stars yet, the number of such Night Slayer Team members cannot be too many; having thirty to forty would be the utmost limit." "A transcendent like Lei Wu, at only the two-star level, is even rarer." Don’t just look at their numbers this time; they only took down over ten members of the Night Slayer Team. But this batch of casualties is definitely enough to make Li He grasp for breath in heartache! However, this kind of analysis involves Li He’s secrets. Revealing it now would inevitably make Yang Lie and others uneasy. So Su Yu just briefly explained that Li He’s strength came from the number and loyalty of those he controlled. As for Li He’s ability to control minds and turn ordinary people into puppets, Su Yu kept silent about it. After all, with myself in the ninth team. Even if Li He could act secretly, leaving tricks on them. Su Yu would be able to detect it immediately. The spiritual energy condensed by the Steel Meditation, although not particularly combat-effective, was an extraordinary power on the spirit level, so it could counteract Li He’s spiritual imprint. After listening to Su Yu’s analysis, Yang Lie and others were visibly relieved. After that, the ninth team did not delay any further. They quickly burnt Lei Wu and others’ corpses to prevent Li He from tracing back that Lei Wu’s small team was eliminated by the ninth team from this battlefield. Then, Su Yu arranged for the logistics members to repack the radiation beast materials originally used to attract other radiation beast herds. The battle with Lei Wu’s team, though overwhelming and almost a one-sided massacre, consumed a lot of ammunition. Moreover, it’s hard to say whether Li He, upon knowing Lei Wu and others were killed, would come for revenge. If pursued, knowing his strength had grown enough to easily obliterate Lei Wu’s team, the possibility of Li He directly turning hostile to eliminate this future threat is quite high. Just in case. Su Yu naturally did not wish to stay in the wasteland any longer. Besides, although Lei Wu and others were few in number, their strength was generally high; in the area near the sanctuary, they had collected quite a lot of radiation beast materials during these days, which also counts as extra income. "When I return to the sanctuary, I’ll first collect some parts, try to build some mechanical equipment to enhance my physical combat capability and safety while also elevating my technical level another notch." "After that, I can attempt to create a new cavalry!" Su Yu schemed in his heart. Gazing at the gradually emerging outline of Shelter No. 73 on the distant horizon, his eyes were filled with anticipation. Back at the sanctuary, Yang Lie and others, following Su Yu’s instructions, did not publicize their defeat of Lei Wu’s team, and even their return was very low-key. It only stirred a bit of commotion when Yang Lie brought the radiation beast materials they acquired during this mission to the management office, exchanged them for contribution points; aside from that, nothing else happened. Regarding the ninth team’s return with so many rewards, there wasn’t much of a wave that caused a stir throughout the entire sanctuary either. This is all thanks to Su Yu, who completed eighteen sanctuary orders in just half a month before. With Su Yu’s achievement and reputation preceding. In the eyes of the sanctuary’s residents, with Su Yu serving as the permanent mechanic for the ninth team, their combat power, even if not as formidable as the Night Slayer’s, still places them easily within the top five ranking of the sanctuary’s hunting teams! Such a hunting team achieving these results, while somewhat rare, is not so shocking! For Su Yu, this situation was naturally welcome. But soon, he could no longer take it lightly. After exchanging contribution points, Yang Lie, following Su Yu’s instructions, paid off next period’s payments to various hunting teams, then proceeded to purchase mechanical parts they had recovered during this time. Even at the management office, Yang Lie specifically went to inquire and exchange for a batch of mechanical parts. Yet ultimately, the quantity and quality of the mechanical parts brought back were disappointing. Sёarch* The NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Especially the quality. According to Su Yu’s plan, for the mechanical equipment he wanted to create, even if advanced or superior mechanical parts weren’t to be used. At the very least, those materials should be salvaged from intermediate-level or higher discarded machinery, right? But the harsh reality told Su Yu, "You are already quite blessed physically; don’t wish for the skies!" "The amassed mechanical parts total only these five boxes, and from intermediate or higher discarded machinery, just these seven precarious big guys could be recovered." Looking at the lined-up, barely-standing seven gigantic pieces. Even one as optimistic as Su Yu couldn’t help but sigh at this moment.
