Ch58.1 - Return My Cultivated Land (Part One)

Editor: ASplashOfMusic

The surrounding air seemed to drop by several degrees. For the first time, Cui Hu saw an ugly expression cross Cui QiChao’s face. 

Let alone Cui Hu, this was also XiaoBai’s first time seeing Cui QiChao have such an ugly expression even though it had been with Cui QiChao for so long. XiaoBai felt that Cui QiChao should be angry. The look in his eyes was void of any ripples, as though a windy snowstorm was raging in them. Cui QiChao was almost expressionless, but this only made the two frightened.

Seeing that the other party appeared to be scanning the whole space station, Cui QiChao gripped the table in front of him with one hand and flipped it over to reveal the control system inside. This also answered Cui Hu’s puzzlement about how Cui QiChao would activate the weapons in front of him.

Cui Hu stopped breathing. The atmosphere felt oppressive, as if a storm was brewing. Cui QiChao wouldn’t want them to pay for the lettuce with their own lives, right?

Timid, he said, “Little… Little Cousin, they shouldn’t have done it on purpose…” 

Cui QiChao gave him a cold look.

Cui Hu was completely afraid to speak. Was this really an omega? Cui Hu and Cui QiChao were both humans. Furthermore, Cui Hu was an alpha. But why was it that Cui QiChao could kill with just his eyes?

From the campus setting in the 21st century virtual plane to the Western medieval virtual plane to the current virtual plane, Cui QiChao had basically never gotten angry. He was always very tolerant of his own people.

But now… the lettuce he had worked hard to cultivate had been crushed. Those people obviously did it intentionally. If they just didn’t notice his lettuce, Cui QiChao could still tolerate it. But at such a close distance, one could already observe the cultivated land below with the mere naked eye. How was that not intentional?

He had cultivated fertile farmland from what was once a wasteland. He also seriously grew the lettuce seeds until they became the lettuce that they were today. The lettuce he grew had all grown to become watery and fresh!

If this could be endured, what else couldn’t be?!

Meanwhile…

On the aircraft, Cui XiaoJiang and Cui Ting scanned the creatures present inside the space station. There were two people and one small animal. They weren’t sure whether the two were Cui Hu and Cui QiChao, but in any case, there didn’t seem to be any threat. 

When they were about to go down, they suddenly felt something wasn’t right. Their latest scans showed that there seemed to be a weapon inside the space station. This was very abnormal. Cui Ting expanded the scanning range.

The scanning results had yet to show up when the scattered and disorganized space garbage around them boomed at the same time. A faint blue light lit up, and weapon ports of various calibres poked out, all targeting the same target—their aircraft.

Cui XiaoJiang’s pupils contracted. At the same time, the system alarm also sounded, indicating the presence of a high-risk weapon energy detected here.

“Shit, what’s installed here?!” Cui XiaoJiang’s face turned white.

Even if they deliberately flew an aircraft meant for combat, they couldn’t carry weapons of such caliber either.

K921 series weapons were notorious. There had been many cases showing why they were notorious. Just speaking of the people Cui XiaoJiang knew, the father of one of Cui XiaoJiang’s classmates had been one of its victims. He survived a battlefield that had been bombed by a K921 ammunition but his life afterward became worse than death. As a result of the K921 bombing, he experienced a pheromone outbreak, resulting in hallucinations. He was constantly tortured both physically and mentally, and no medicine could effectively alleviate it. 

Hearing the type of weapon present, Cui XiaoJiang’s liver trembled. After taking a look at the analysis results, which showed what the confidant said was correct, he didn’t even have time to consult Cui Ting. He was afraid that the other party would misunderstand their intentions, thinking that they would rather die than surrender. He hurried to say, “Surrender, surrender, surrender!”

But before he finished speaking, the other party didn’t even give him a chance to discuss things. He just shot directly at them!

Although the K921 wasn’t shot, the weapons used weren’t any better than the K921. When they saw an antimatter missile shooting straight at them, the right wing of the whole aircraft was blasted into smithereens. The shield of the aircraft couldn’t even protect them for three seconds. It was as if the shield was being eroded inch by inch.

Almost all the control rooms became exposed, and the alarms sounded everywhere. Cui XiaoJiang opened his mouth to dully say, “How did they decipher our shield parameters…” 

It was reasonable to say that even antimatter guns couldn’t destroy their shields in one shot unless the other party managed to analyze their shields’ energy parameters and neutralize them with antimatter.

If there really existed people with such powerful computational capabilities, how could they be willing to remain on this planet and even wage a fight with them?! Not to mention, the other party also had a K921. The identity of the other party definitely wasn’t simple!

They then saw that the muzzle was charging energy again, turning to aim at their left wing. Their aircraft system also prompted that the antimatter gun was being aimed at them again. All seven people on the aircraft couldn’t sit still. They didn’t even want to counterattack anymore. They just decided to straightforwardly run for their lives!

. 

In fact, it wasn’t as if Cui QiChao thought that the K921 wasn’t worth using. It was just that using the K921 would cause an explosion. The aircraft was too close. It was still parked on top of his cultivated land.

The purpose of using the antimatter gun was to disintegrate the opponent’s aircraft. As long as it was controlled extremely accurately, it wouldn’t produce too much energy on impact, and it wouldn’t cause any secondary damage to his vegetable field. Otherwise, he would be injuring one thousand enemy soldiers at the cost of eight hundred of his own soldiers.

Currently, Cui Hu was holding Cui QiChao’s hand, pleading, “Little Cousin, don’t be impulsive, just spare their dog lives!”

Unexpectedly, the Cui family would slaughter their own family members from today on. And this occurred all because of lettuce fields… 

XiaoBai: Meow, meow, meow! Meow, meow, meow, meow!”

XiaoBai’s eyes turned sinister as its eyes darted from left to right. It also agreed to blow up these people who were blind. Those vegetable fields were grown at the expense of their sweat!

Cui QiChao’s tone was very stable, and his hand was also very stable. But their stability was completely opposite to the storm brewing in his eyes. “Get out of the way.”

Cui Hu summoned up all the courage in him to stop Cui QiChao. He now knew that to Cui QiChao, he was someone insignificant. At present, he felt like he was a small omega, while the other party was a big alpha; his pheromones were completely suppressed. 

Looking at the mess outside, he had an idea. Then he said, “Little… Little Cousin, how… how about you leave them alive and have them help cultivate the fields for you? So that they can make up for all those lost acres of land? Otherwise, wouldn’t you suffer from a bigger loss?”

Cui QiChao: “……”

Cui QiChao said, “Loosen your hand.”

Cui Hu quickly let go, not daring to block him any longer. Otherwise, he was afraid that Cui QiChao might really give him a difficult time  and have him deal with making the compost with those fools. 

How angry must Cui QiChao be to annihilate the other’s aircraft directly with an antimatter gun, not even wanting to kidnap them to have them help with farm work?

Cui QiChao stared outside without any expression on his face. He saw that several people jumped down from the hole of the aircraft and ran to the side without hesitation. He shot another antimatter missile, and the whole aircraft directly turned into nothingness.

Cui QiChao heaved a long sigh, having finally relieved half of his anger.

. 

Cui Ting and the others only felt an energy shock that wasn’t much greater than a driving force of revolution. When they looked back, the aircraft had disappeared. Their faces turned white.

Now that they were outside the aircraft, they could sense the true impact of the blast more clearly. They saw how gentle the energy shock was. If the shooter hadn’t been extremely accurate, the opposition between matter and antimatter would produce energy, which would then trigger an explosion. In that case, the shooter wouldn’t be able to keep the energy oscillation at such a surprisingly small scale.

Reasonably speaking, such control needed highly precise calculations. But the relevant formulas hadn’t even been spread to the masses, so they shouldn’t have been privy to them, at least within the scope of Cui Ting’s understanding. And the entire set of calculations couldn’t have been completed within a few minutes. But since they had just arrived here, there were many areas in this place that aroused doubt and fear…

At this time, a familiar voice sounded, saying, “Don’t move! All of you, don’t move!” It was Cui Hu. His tone seemed to be laced with grief. 

Cui Ting and others were stunned. Then, based on their trust in their own people, they immediately stopped moving.

Cui Hu came out of the space station, head in a mess. He finally managed to persuade Cui QiChao, but these people were still running around in the fields. If they trampled on a few more lettuces, no one could protect them anymore.

“What are you doing? Don’t you see the crops below you? Just stop right there. Do you have a sense of public morality?” Although Cui Hu saved them, he was actually somewhat complaining at the bottom of his heart.

Speaking of which, he had also taken care of these cultivated fields. He had sweated and developed blisters, and his skin became tan because he took care of these fields. In the end, these people just had to land their aircraft right on top of a part of the fields, harming others and themselves. 

“Brother Hu, are you okay?” Cui Ting didn’t grasp his point. “Which armed group is controlling these weapons? No, it must be a government army. But why did we only find two people in the scans?”

They had noticed the cultivated fields, but they didn’t care at all. To them, land was land regardless of whether the fields had yellow sand or lettuce.

Cui Hu’s face darkened. He no longer spoke up.

They’d soon know. Another person came out of the space station. Cui QiChao. 

No matter if it was Cui QiChao or Cui Hu, both appeared perfectly intact. They could even freely move about. So what was the situation? What about the people controlling the weapons? Why didn’t they come out?

Cui QiChao walked toward them, holding a pile of miniature bombs. The same type that had been placed on Cui Hu’s body. He then pasted them around each of their necks.

“What are you doing?” Cui Ting raised her hand and resisted. As a result, Cui Hu pressed her down. She looked at Cui Hu in surprise. “Brother Hu?”

“This is all for your own good!” said Cui Hu sadly. It was better to stick a bomb on their bodies than to have them be blown to death. 

Cui Ting continued to struggle in discontent until Cui QiChao pressed a bomb down on her shoulder. Half of her body went weak, unable to exert any force. “Ouch, ouch—”

The others’ expressions soon changed. They wanted to act, but Cui Hu acted first and restrained them.

After Cui QiChao pasted bombs on them one by one, he shot them a cold glance before dragging two people over and adjusting their positions.

Everyone felt strange and found the situation very creepy. They merely thought that something was different about this omega… 

Before they could think things through more, the device on their neck generated an electric current, which instantly travelled across their entire body, stimulating each and every ending of their nerves. As their nerves contracted continuously, they also continuously felt pain travelling from their nerves. In the end, their eyes rolled back. The seven people trembled and fell to the ground, losing consciousness.

Up until they fainted due to the electrocution, their minds were still filled with doubts. They had no idea what exactly had occurred.

At this time, Cui Hu seemed to understand why Cui QiChao had moved those two people just now. In their new positions, they wouldn’t press on the vegetables once they fell down.

“This-this thing can also send an electric shock?” Cui Hu was terrified. He couldn’t help but feel a chill run through his spine when he thought that the reason why Cui QiChao came out a little late might be because he temporarily affixed that function to the collars on their necks due to his anger. 

Cui QiChao looked at the people on the ground and whispered, “Let their blood flow onto the ground to make up for their mistake.”

Cui Hu thought if he understood Cui QiChao’s intentions correctly, this sentence that seemed to be chock-full of dread and gore actually meant that Cui Ting and the others wouldn’t be done with farm work until they developed blisters…
