At a one-thousandth of a minute, Jiang Liushi's sight was locked on one shiny black object inside that Black Hole.
"Xiyu," shouted Jiang Liushi again.
In the blink of an eye, Ran Xiyu's mental energy gathered, forming a needle. Then, that needle penetrated the Black Hole like a spear. Ran Xiyu tried her utmost best to attack as many times as possible. Her powerful energy had even attracted the psychic paranormals in the vicinity, making them look at her direction with their spiritual sense.
Ran Xiyu's ability was still evolving. The large number of mutant meats, as well as the high-purity evolutionary crystals produced by the MCV's laboratory, had played a major role in her current accomplishments. Even Zhang Hai and Sun Kun had improved significantly. Let alone Ran Xiyu who was more talented. As a result, after her constant attacks that lasted about ten seconds, she had still energy to spare and attack the Black Hole again. Although she was extremely powerful, she still felt tired and comfortable after depleting her energy.
Fortunately, Li Yuxin was next to Ran Xiyu and held her hands quickly. Then, Ran Xiyu felt a hot stream coursing through her body, reducing her fatigue and alleviating her headache.
After Ran Xiyu's relentless attacks, the Black Hole could not move.
"It's the right time!' whispered Jiang Liushi.
The people outside didn't even notice that the Black Hole could not move. And to their surprise, they heard loud gunshots from within the Black Hole.
"They can shoot inside the Black Hole? It's amazing!"
"The sound of a sniper…"
"But the bullets were useless, right?"
Everyone was shocked and trying to guess what was happening inside. At the same time, many of them began to worry. In their mind, the minibus was nearly invincible, but it was impossible to exterminate the Black Hole. They believed that the reason why Shi Ying Squad had chosen to shoot was because they had tried all kinds of methods to deal with it. That was probably a desperate struggle.
"Oh, My God…" Zhang Hai's eyes almost pooped out of his head. The minibus was shaking violently, but all he could see outside of the windshield was thick black shadows.
Jiang Liushi was excited as the thick black shadows were Black Light, which Starseed and the minibus were absorbing wildly.
Although the Black Hole was a type of Energy Body, it was the same as mutant creatures, it had a core. But that core was hidden in the deepest part of the Black Hole, not even a bomb could affect it. If the could not find where the core was hidden, the Black Hole would regenerate at any time. In the core was stored a huge amount of energy, which could be used to restore the Black Hole.
One of the reasons Jiang Liushi had decided to enter was to get his hands on the core. Plus, he had Starseed that could guide him. The gunshots that the people outside had heard were because Jiang Liushi had found and shot the core. After shooting it, the Black Hole could no longer resist the minibus and Starseed's absorption. In less than a minute, the whole prey had been cleaned up of its energy.
'100%' Starseed transmitted, but it didn't stop absorbing the energy in the vicinity.
Jiang Liushi was surprised to know that the Black Light could also be stored in his minibus.
…
"The Black Hole is shrinking!"
"It is getting smaller…"
"It seems that the Black Hole will dissipate!"
The crowd felt like they were sitting in roller-coaster and that their hearts were about to burst. Within ten seconds, they had experienced several ups and downs. They were all staring at the Black Hole with halted breaths. It was just like a black cyclone, and Jiang Liushi's minibus was in the eye of the storm. It may look like an ordinary minibus, but in the eyes of the spectators, it was an unparalleled vehicle.
Unconsciously, the military personnel had spontaneously stopped shooting without receiving orders from Han Yuan. How could they shoot again? In their hearts, Jiang Liushi's minibus and the people inside were their saviors and heroes. How could they shoot their saviors?
"Jiang Liushi actually killed the Black Hole? But why!" Wan Yiling's face was a little white, but her eyes betrayed her hatred.
'Why could the Shi Ying Squad get rid of such a crisis? Everyone in the Safety Zone will regard them as heroes now!' Wan Yiling was frustrated as she could no longer fight against them. Everything she had done was in vain.
She glanced at Han Yuan and noticed that his expression was also ugly.
'How could a mere survivors' team kill the Energy Body of Black Light? Alas, it's impossible…' thought Han Yuan.
It had never crossed his mind that there would be someone else other than him who would know how to deal with the Energy Body of Black Light. He was unwilling to accept it. After all, only a select few knew this secret. Han Yuan also wondered why Jiang Liushi's minibus the Black Light was attracted to the minibus. From his point of view, the Black Light was dissipating after coming in contact with the minibus.
"Jiang Liushi, I have to admit that you're extraordinary. But you'd better not be thinking that the Energy Body of Black Light belongs to you…" whispered Han Yuan.
In the blink of an eye, the core shrank in size, turning into a black crystal. Then, a robotic arm was stretched out of the minibus, catching the core and storing it to the minibus' storage space.
Upon seeing that, Han Yuan's pupils shrank, and a hint of greet flashed through his eyes.
"Captain Jiang!" Wei Feifei waved her hands in excitement. The Black Hole couldn't affect anyone anymore.
Tang Cangyun also stopped. When he saw that scene, he felt deeply regretful. If he knew about that outcome in advance, he would have stopped and stood together with Wei Feifei. After all, Wei Feifei and Jiang Liushi could be considered as friends. Alas, it was too late.
At that moment, Han Yuan ordered the battle tank's driver to head toward the minibus. When he saw the robotic arm grabbing the core, he felt anxious as there was no way to stop it.
Soon, they stopped before the minibus. Han Yuan jumped off the tank and shouted, "Captain Jiang, your team is amazing! Thank you for securing the Black Hole's core. It's very dangerous. We must immediately send it to the Huaxia Region's Research Institute for our top scientists to study it. The Black Hole is mysterious, and the core is the only way we can study it. You've helped our nation and us even the entire world," said Han Yuan in a sincere tone.
Many of the soldiers were shocked. They had not seen anything as Han Yuan's eyesight was stronger than theirs. The moment they heard about the mysterious core, they felt scared again. After all, the Black Hole could instill fear to the bravest man. Some people even believed that the Black Hole was not truly dead. Therefore, they kept looking at their surrounding vigilantly.
Upon hearing Han Yuan's words, Jiang Liushi sneered. He had led his team inside the Black Hole, which was a great risk. How could he hand the core over to Han Yuan because of his pleasant yet alarming words?
'He doesn't even know how to lead an army, but he sure knows how to dream,' thought Jiang Liushi. Then, he frowned. 'But why does he know about the core?'
It was evident that Han Yuan was not an ordinary man. Jiang Liushi had come to know about the Energy Body of Black Light from Starseed, but how could Han Yuan know about it? Jiang Lisuhi didn't believe that Han Yuan would send the core to the Huaxia Region at all.
