Chapter 184 - Self-Rescue Manual of a Villainess

The next item up for auction is an A Grade Slave from Basailles, Chief Executive Quirunov of the former Soviet Union Joint Technology Institute. He is a clone of Darslik, and although not possessing the same exceptional scientific abilities as the original, he is a rare potential slave. "Now, the auction begins! Starting price is five million credits!" On the platform, the auctioneer for Greedy Wolf was energetically introducing the golden-haired man in orange uniform at his side. In the viewing area, elegant gentlemen and ladies evaluated the slave's value and interested parties began raising their bids. "Seven hundred million credits." "Eight million credits." "Eleven million credits! Eleven million credits once..." Yaseley and Scorpion stood side by side on a high platform to the left of the auction venue. "Yaseley, I heard there are quite a few buyers here this time," Scorpion remarked, observing the packed viewing area below with a hint of a smile playing on his lips. "Indeed, according to the reports from below, the number of guests this time has doubled compared to last year," Yaseley responded casually, although he didn't understand why Scorpion brought this up all of a sudden. Nevertheless, this wasn't necessarily confidential information, so he answered casually. "Hehe," Scorpion chuckled and leaned forward on the railing. "Look at Mr. Nanshan, seems like he's not turning anyone away," Yaseley heard Scorpion's words and momentarily paused, then also turned to look at the platform. Indeed, the clone of the scientist was also being bid on by Mr. Nanshan. Since the start of the auction until now, there have been over ten slaves successfully auctioned off, and nine of them were acquired by the guests brought by General Caesar. "That person... is the scientist interested in Number Three?" Yaseley inquired after some thought. "Yeah, the scientist. It was that damn three-star Lieutenant who told me. Mr. Nanshan seems to be involved in some 'remarkable' scientific research, having already acquired six slaves for custom training," Scorpion expressed indifferently. "I wonder what fate awaits your little cutie if she ends up in his hands?" Scorpion finished and glanced at Yaseley, who remained expressionless. "Scorpion, I told you that Number Three is a custom-made slave from Basailles and cannot be put up for auction." "Is that so? But I feel, if that child were taken by those fanatics, the outcome might not be better than going to Mr. Nanshan," Scorpion shrugged and continued, "And, didn't you see? Those lunatics don't seem to be arriving on time." Upon hearing this, Yaseley's expression changed slightly. If those buyers failed to arrive on time or even violated the agreement, Number Three would definitely be forced onto the auction stage. Aware that Scorpion was standing nearby, Yaseley quickly adjusted his emotions and, like Scorpion, leaned forward on the railing. Before Scorpion could say anything, however, a jarring alarm sounded throughout the auction venue! It was the air raid alert from the battleship! Yaseley and Scorpion were startled by the alarm. After exchanging glances, they both immediately looked down to the stage. The auction hall was already in chaos. Almost all the buyers present understood the significance of this alarm. "Greedy Wolf! What's going on!" "Why is Greedy Wolf being attacked! Didn't you say it was in this-" "I want to see your person in charge! Why is this happening!" "Damn it... move out of the way! I need to get out of here!" ... When the alarm sounded a second time, countless buyers rushed towards the emergency exits. Since an attack on Greedy Wolf happened at this time and place, it must be an official organization from Tianzhou City. Many present were determined not to be caught by those hounds. Despite the immediate efforts of the people from Greedy Wolf to stabilize the situation and the appearance of Greedy Wolf's senior officials to reassure the buyers, many buyers still disregarded everything and boarded shuttles to leave quickly. However, what they didn't know was that although they had evaded the joint pursuit of the Twelve Armed Department and the Tianzhou Security Garrison, there were still city guards from the City Hall's Urban Guard waiting for them in the outlying areas. "Was this trading totally concealed?!" At the same time the alarm sounded, in the fourth-level cargo hold of Greedy Wolf, where the slaves were confined, Wu Luo had just swallowed her last piece of cake when a massive number of Wolf's soldiers guarding the slaves rushed onto the deck after hearing the alarm, greatly reducing the security force here. But this didn't really matter because the slaves were held captive in special iron cages with suppression collars around their necks. Even if there was no one guarding them, the slaves could not cause any trouble. Wu Luo was well aware of this, so when the alarm sounded, she paused for a moment and then continued eating her last piece of cake nonchalantly. However, within this last piece, she seemed to have tasted something different. Reaching into her mouth, Wu Luo retrieved a hard object. She tried to use her telekinetic ability to determine what it was. It was a chip?! Baffled, Wu Luo realized that the chip was obviously not put there by the pastry chef, but was intentionally left for her by Mr. Wang. But why would Mr. Wang leave her something like this? Suddenly, a thought struck Wu Luo. Half-believing, she placed the chip on the suppressor collar around her neck and then reached out to touch a touch screen on the left side of the collar. Normally, if she tried to touch the screen, the suppression collar would immediately activate, subjecting her to a corresponding level of nerve-wracking attacks. But this time, nothing happened, and Wu Luo's fingertip touched the screen without any expected pain. [Ding - Code A003, unlocked.] As a faint mechanical sound reached her ears, Wu Luo suddenly felt her breathing become smooth. Soon, something dropped from her neck. It was the suppression collar! ...witnessed, Wu Luo stood frozen in place for a long time. Mr. Wang...? It wasn't until the sound of disorganized footsteps came from the stairway that the stunned girl snapped back. Two soldiers from Greedy Wolf armed with suppression guns dashed down the stairs. "Hurry up! The order from above is to immediately transfer these hedgehogs upstairs!" "Huh?!" As soon as the soldiers rushed down the stairs, they saw a girl in a white dress standing in front of an empty cage, with the broken suppression collar and the cage's password lock on the ground - the flashing silver ion indicated that it was forcibly broken by the girl. "Who are you?!" "Fire!" The soldiers of Greedy Wolf were indeed well-trained. After seeing Wu Luo, they quickly assessed the situation and promptly opened fire! Suppressive bullets with a red glow were shot at the girl, but then abruptly stopped in front of her. "Can you tell me where the exit is?" The girl tilted her head and crushed the bullets with her telekinetic power. At that moment, the soldiers' eyes suddenly became vacant, then immediately cleared, except for a hint of zeal towards the girl. "Of course... for my master..."
