As Ruan Mingchu was reminiscing, a loud noise came from not far away, and his feet shook.
The robot's eyes glowed red, its movements became more agile, and its single-shot attacks turned into continuous swarm attacks, doubling its combat power.
"Damn it," Ruan Mingchu cursed under his breath. That's why he only played with the robots without actually touching them. Nobody knew what kind of twisted program the researchers had programmed into them.
Having skillfully dodged the attacks launched by the robots, Nguyen Minh Thu began his counterattack.
A corrosive beam of light shot towards the robot, corroding its outer wall. Ruan Mingchu used this to observe that the robot's core was located in its abdomen.
[Concentrate and Transform], a black longsword appeared in Ruan Mingchu's hand, each strike accurately entering the robot's core and destroying it.
More and more robots fell at Ruan Mingchu's feet, but for some reason, the number of robots attacking him did not decrease.
If the number was stable before but is now increasing, there's only one possibility.
That loud noise just now opened a connection between here and the unknown.
Nguyen Minh Thu fought and moved, heading towards the source of the sound.
The place was shrouded in dust, and littered with the severed limbs of robots. Luckily, robots have no flesh or blood, otherwise the room would have been a scene of utter hell.
In comparison, Nguyen Minh Thu's fighting style can be described as gentle.
Through the dust, Ruan Mingchu saw Mu Yu.
Mu Yu also saw Ruan Mingchu.
The two looked at each other, both frowning, and asked at the same time, "What are you doing here?"
After the two got close, they exchanged information while defending themselves.
After arriving at the location of the star beast, Mu Yu and the other students observed the soldiers' encirclement and killing operation. Originally just a simple A+ grade lava beast, it mutated into an S grade star beast as it was dying, and its entire body underwent a drastic change, as if it were a fusion of multiple star beasts.
S-class star beasts are nothing special; the 358th Army isn't so incapable of killing even one S-class star beast.
However, with the appearance of the fusion monster, first, phenomena such as ground fissures and sinkholes occurred around it, and then the entire surface of Military Training Star was affected.
Then the planet became unstable and at risk of annihilation at any time, so everyone had to evacuate.
Mu Yu was hit by an S-class fusion monster while saving a classmate during the evacuation. Although he was unharmed, he was thrown into this underground research institute.
Mu Yu, with his fiery temper, had none of the patience that Ruan Mingchu had for careful observation; he carried out violent demolitions wherever he went.
That sound just now was definitely Mu Yu unleashing a powerful attack, damaging a bunch of robots; the door was just a side effect.
Ruan Mingchu then explained his situation without hiding anything, including the fact that he had suddenly attracted star beasts.
Throughout his speech, he kept observing Mu Yu's expression.
If it was related to him, then his subtle facial expressions at the moment he heard it would hardly escape Ruan Mingchu's notice.
Fortunately, this matter really has nothing to do with Mu Yu himself.
Ruan Mingchu really wants to meet Marshal Mu and have a chat with him.

15. The Fusion Monsters Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu must save themselves.
The most important thing right now is to leave this place.
The direction Mu Yu came from was worthless; it was more like a storage depot for robots.
The two then set off in the direction that Ruan Mingchu had not chosen when he arrived.
Another gate blocked their way. Mu Yu was about to carry out a violent demolition when Ruan Mingchu stopped him.
"Wait, there's no need for that."
Ruan Mingchu took a card and placed it on the sensor. With a "beep", the back door opened.
The two quickly entered, blocking most of the robots on the other side, while the few robots that entered were stabbed in the core by Ruan Mingchu.
"We might discover something from researching these robots, so it's best to preserve the 'whole body'."
Upon hearing this, Mu Yu crossed his arms and stepped aside, allowing Ruan Mingchu to take over.
After dealing with the robot, Ruan Mingchu took the initiative to explain the card in his hand to Mu Yu: "There were two dead people in front of a door before. I thought they ran over from this side, so I took their cards."
He then handed one of the two cards to Mu Yu: "One for each of you, in case something happens later."
Mu Yu took it and hummed in agreement.
The scene here is much uglier than the one we just saw.
The dead and the dead stars were piled together, and black and red bloodstains were everywhere.
Some of them were killed by the Star Beasts, leaving behind claw marks, bite marks, and mutilated bodies.
However, there were also some people whose bodies were intact but had mottled black and purple marks; they had been poisoned.
Perhaps during the evacuation, someone accidentally released the star beasts, causing them to riot. To avoid being exposed, some people were abandoned and poisoned here along with the rioting star beasts by those in power.
Seeing this, Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu looked at each other and thought of the same thing.
Since the withdrawal was so hasty, there must have been some documents left behind here.
A comprehensive search has officially begun!
They actually found something; in a place that looked like a control room, they found a quantum computer that had been formatted in half.
A photocomputer is equivalent to a terminal, but photocomputers are generally used in research institutes, and one unit requires at least 30 square meters of space.
Carrying it out is not feasible, and we don't know what the situation is outside. The earthquake may have stopped, but the research institute's strong structure has isolated it from further movement.
As Mu Yu was pondering what to do with the quantum computer, he saw Ruan Mingchu already busy at work.
His hands moved nimbly across hundreds of keyboards, almost blurring into a blur.
Mu Yu looked up at his face, which was full of seriousness. Reflected in the dark blue light of the screen, it was somewhat pleasing to the eye.
Now, Mu Yu has a completely new understanding of Ruan Mingchu; she is no longer just an Omega who is a perfect match for him.
Ruan Mingchu is a resilient and decisive Omega, even on par with most Alphas. If it weren't for his petite and delicate appearance, his behavior would be exactly like that of an Alpha.
Even though he doesn't understand love, spending his life with such a pleasing Omega doesn't seem unacceptable.
Mu Yu has always disliked Omegas because they are too fragile and too troublesome. He doesn't know how to care for them and doesn't want to accommodate them, so he simply stays away.
While Mu Yu was lost in thought about important life matters, Ruan Mingchu successfully cracked the research institute's security program and restored the formatted data.
"Do you have a USB drive?" Ruan Mingchu asked. He had only asked casually, not really expecting Mu Yu to have a USB drive. After all, students usually don't carry them with them.
Importing data to the terminal is also possible. However, if the terminal is connected to the internet, it's not very secure.
Unexpectedly, Mu Yu actually handed him a USB drive.
The USB drive features a cartoon rabbit wearing boxing gloves, exuding a carefree and adorable charm.
I never expected that Mu Yu, who always projects a tough and assertive image, would actually like this in private.
You really can't judge a book by its cover; there's a cute contrast between them.
Mu Yu had no idea that something his cousin had forced on him would make Ruan Mingchu overthink things. He was still glad he hadn't thrown it away, because now it came in handy.
After connecting the USB drive, the transfer would take some time. Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu then took a look at these items together.
shocking.
Not only are there experiments with star beasts, but there are also experiments involving the fusion of humans and beasts. According to the information, these experiments are only in the conceptual stage, but so many years have passed, they may have already begun.
Ruan Mingchu stole a glance at Mu Yu and saw immense anger on his face.
Yes, he has sound values.
Ruan Mingchu didn't just stay angry; he found a map of the research institute and looked for the exit.
There is an exit, but it's located in a lake.
Ruan Mingchu looked at Mu Yu, who nodded: "That fusion monster did indeed come from this lake."
If the Fusion Monster is still there, then the 358th Army should be there too.
But so much time has passed, the Amalgam should have been destroyed by now, right?
The worst fear is that the 358th Army has already withdrawn from the military training center.
Despite no communication, Mu Yu seemed to understand Ruan Mingchu's worries: "Given Mu Bing's status, the school and the military won't withdraw all their personnel until they find me."
Mu Bing is Mu Yu's father, the Grand Marshal of the Double Nine Star System, and the top authority in the military.
It's good to have a big tree to lean on for shade.
After the data transfer was complete, Ruan Mingchu returned the USB drive to Mu Yu. In the Shuangjiu Galaxy, it would be more useful for Mu Yu to have it.
The way out had to pass through the robots' lair, so neither of them lingered in battle, working together to leave the robots behind.
The exit was at the bottom of the lake, but luckily both of them could swim.
The lake was not calm at the moment, with whirlpools and undercurrents, and attacks falling from above from time to time.
It seems that the S-class fusion monster has not been eliminated yet.
Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu exchanged a glance, sensing something was wrong, and both struggled to swim upstream.
After so long, they still haven't killed a single S-class star beast. Are the 358th Army just sitting around doing nothing?
As soon as the two surfaced, soldiers spotted them. After confirming they were the two missing students, a small aircraft was quickly dispatched for rescue.
The fusion monster also noticed him.
It's unclear what kind of drug Ruan Mingchu was given, but this fusion monster was clearly attracted by the scent he emitted.
The soldiers besieging the fusion monster intensified their attacks in an attempt to draw its attention. However, the fusion monster seemed to have gained consciousness, relentlessly targeting Ruan Mingchu and repeatedly sending out tentacles to attack the aircraft, making it impossible for the aircraft to get close to Ruan Mingchu and his companion.
Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu must save themselves.
For a typical newly enrolled military academy student, the robots in the underground research institute would be more than enough to give them a run for their money. Let alone escaping from under the nose of an S-class star beast in a lake!
But now it's Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu who are facing this kind of situation.
From the information they had just received, the two learned that the core of the fusion monster was located in its abdomen. Only by destroying the core could the fusion monster be destroyed. Otherwise, they would only be able to repeatedly bring the fusion monster to the brink of death, only for it to be able to fuse with new star beasts and recover to its peak state, as was the case now.
