Void Jigsaw Puzzle

Tan Ping would naturally not fall to death, because Qian Ao's target was her.

She was seen falling from the door of the dome hut to the platform at her feet like a feather. Although her falling trajectory seemed random, she was always heading towards the direction of Hydrogen Ao.

Tan Ping had passed out due to the intense traction and weightlessness of the fall, and was completely deaf to the calls of Guo Ling and Zhang Chuyu above her head.

Carbon Crown watched everything that happened in just a few seconds, looking at Hydrogen Ao, admiring Hydrogen Ao's ability while also feeling a little scared.

"He's a tough guy who doesn't talk much. He's a tough character! Fortunately, we didn't offend him much before."

At the door of the hut above their heads, Zhang Chuyu anxiously stared at the tangle of duckweed floating toward the platform and asked, "Brother, what should we do?"

Guo Ling was also very confused at this moment.

He felt disillusioned, as if after careful planning and going through untold hardships, he was finally about to succeed, but failed at the last moment.

What surprised him even more was that the man had not yet appeared. According to his own deduction, he should have arrived earlier than him.

All his plans seemed to collapse at this moment. Guo Ling felt like he had missed a detail, but in the current situation, he couldn't remember it.

He had no idea what would happen to Tan Ping if he fell into the hands of Qian Ao. He had heard Zhong Chenmu mention this man before, and he had also met him once on Taibai Star when he was hunting down Qian Chen. He only knew that Qian Ao was a very powerful person.

"If Hydrogen Ao gets the password in a short time and somehow gets Tan Ping's 'joyful look', it's all over!"

At this moment, a voice rang out in this vast space: "Lord Hydrogen Ao, long time no see. The universe is so vast, and we have been able to meet again and again. How can we not say it is fate?"

Hearing this voice, Guo Ling's whole body began to tremble with excitement.

He finally came!

Zhong Chenmu is here!

That means He Yi and Fan Ting, who were with him, are here too!

When the name "Fan Ting" flashed through his mind, Guo Ling felt an exceptionally warm feeling in his heart.

He leaned over and looked down, trying to find their location.

Because the sound came from below.

A moment later, three people, two men and one woman, appeared on several pipes near the top on both sides of the large cylinder of the suspended reservoir.

Zhong Chenmu stood upright, his arms folded across his chest, his eyes fixed intently on the platform atop the reservoir. Beside him stood He Yi and Fan Ting, both also in high spirits and with sharp postures.

"Great! You are finally here!" Guo Ling shouted from above.

Zhong Chenmu waved his hand at him: "Now is not the time to talk nonsense."

"..."

Having said that, Zhong Chenmu was also filled with excitement at being able to meet Guo Ling again.

In Kunlun City, after witnessing the tragedy caused by Sanjay's doping, he had an in-depth conversation with Hou Chang, learning that Hydrogen Ao and the others had likely traveled to the Carbon Clan. He also knew that Guo Ling had finally met Hou Chang, though their relationship had been unreconciled. Perhaps it was a case of memories being fleeting, reality being alive, and their connection ended before the signal was reconstructed by the Hydrogen and Helium Clan, respectively. Hou Chang also informed him that before Guo Ling left Kunlun City, he had contacted her sister-in-law, Xie Wanwan, who had provided him with clues about the Carbon Clan. Therefore, it was highly likely that Guo Ling had also traveled to the Carbon Clan.

So, upon arriving in Houkun City, he sent a message to Guo Ling in his virtual form, hoping he could find him. Not long after, he received a reply from Guo Ling, who told Zhong Chenmu everything that had happened since arriving in Houkun City, especially his encounter with Tan Ping and his escape from prison. He emphasized that if they wanted to prevent the Carbon Clan from being exploited by the Hydrogen and Helium Clan—in fact, the Turtle Clan—they had to go to the Central Water Supply System as soon as possible, because everyone was there.

So, Zhong Chenmu went with He Yi and Fan Ting. All of them could assume virtual forms, and He Yi was the Hei Clan's most powerful warrior. The three of them easily infiltrated the system, hiding within the complex network of pipes in the central water supply system, awaiting the arrival of Guo Ling and the others.

Sure enough, they showed up as expected. However, Zhong Chenmu didn't expect that Hydrogen Ao would be so eager to catch Tan Ping immediately.

So, he showed up too.

People on the platform reacted differently to the appearance of the three of them.

Tan Guan frowned. "Why are there three more people? And I don't know them all."

Tan Jia was very nervous: "It's over, it's over. The clan leader will definitely blame me for the poor security. How come so many people slipped through the net... But, that woman is also very beautiful. If she can recruit one of my four pleasure places..."

Hydron became even more nervous: "How on earth did they sneak in right under my nose!"

What Hydrogen Thought didn't know was that when Guo Ling was delivering a message to Zhong Chenmu by the Houkun River, he had already told Zhong Chenmu the technique to avoid Hydrogen Thought's monitoring. That was to shorten the existence time of the virtual form as much as possible, because he could not monitor the physical form, and this was not the territory of the Hydrogen Clan.

Therefore, Zhong Chenmu and the other three only appeared in virtual form when they were diving underground and coming down from the ventilation vents on the ground. After reaching the central water supply system, they immediately transformed into physical form and hid in the pipes. These pipes were very thick and winding, making them perfect hiding places.

Of course, He Yi was an exception, but his abilities were enough to allow him to evade all surveillance for a longer period of time. Frankly speaking, if it was Hydrogen Ao who did this personally, it would be difficult for them to leave no trace. Unfortunately, Hydrogen Ao was too arrogant, and his Hydrogen Mind ability was a little lacking.

Qian Ao originally scoffed at the appearance of Zhong Chenmu and Fan Ting. He didn't think that these two mortals from Wuming City could pose any threat to him. However, when he saw the tall and heroic He Yi beside them, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He couldn't believe his eyes and looked again carefully. Yes, it was helium ethylene.

This was the first time that Hydrogen Ao experienced psychological fluctuations after coming to the Carbon Clan.

He is the Grand Marshal of the Hydrogen Clan, and Helium B is the highest warrior of the Helium Clan. He is not completely sure that he can defeat this person.

During this brief moment of panic, Hydron Ao neglected to control Tan Ping.

She had just been floating down slowly like a feather, but now she was falling like a stone.

She was awakened by the sudden acceleration and screamed. The bottomless darkness rushed directly into her terrified eyes.

Seeing that she was about to fall below the height of the platform, He Yi quickly took action, controlled her, and then transported her to the top of the pipe where he, Zhong Chenmu and the other two were.

Tan Ping only felt that her body was being torn apart again, one force to the left, the other to the right. On this side, the man with a face full of flesh was trying to pull her back to the platform, and on the other side, the man with a more attractive appearance and figure was trying to carry her over.

"I want to go over there..." Tan Ping naturally hoped to be able to go to He Yi, but it was obvious that the two forces were evenly matched. She felt like a puppet, being pulled powerlessly by invisible silk threads.
