Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy

Mu Fan's body was straight, his heartbeat at this moment suppressed to its slowest.

Under the effects of Ghost Energy, his breathing was as natural as a summer night's breeze, even the bloody scent on his body had disappeared.

Mu Fan walked like this in the small woods behind the medical facility, his eyes watching everyone nearby.

One step, two steps, a surveillance personnel turned his head to the other side.

Mu Fan's right hand rested on the side fence, his body defied the laws of physics with a sidelong flip, disappearing in a flash.

At that moment, another gaze was cast, but it noticed nothing out of the ordinary.

In their perception, everything remained as calm as ever, with no people and no strange movements.

Mu Fan stayed close to the fence, walking in the shadows of the branches and leaves.

Silently, he memorized the pattern of everyone's gaze.

A cunning Hunter must have absolute patience to familiarize himself with every movement of his prey.

Three seconds later, two personnel who had been watching this area shifted their gaze elsewhere, and Mu Fan lightly leaped, striding several steps in succession.

Three, two, one.

The figure suddenly crouched down, his palm pressing against the ground, his entire body less than a centimeter from the surface, held up in a suspended state.

Mu Fan's eyes looked toward the vegetation directly in front of him.

That was the real outer edge of the clustered buildings, about 300 meters away from him, the only obstacle being a man in a suit holding night-vision goggles.

He paced back and forth out of boredom.

Three minutes later, Mu Fan, who was running and walking simultaneously, had bypassed the remaining dozen pairs of eyes and approached this final line of defense.

Outside another corner of the medical facility, in a blind spot, Bearded yawned, ready to return to his Floating Car.

Everyone remained unaware that a ghost-like shadow was slowly moving towards their west side.

Beyond the west side lay the true Eastern Building Cluster.

It had to be said that the position of the man Mu Fan was watching was extremely clever, between two huge rocks, the only passage, precisely where he paced back and forth.

Mu Fan had quietly reached less than five meters in front of this man, who still hadn't noticed anything.

Under the chilly night, Mu Fan's eyes were calm, so calm it was terrifying.

In his mind, he had already silently marked the movements of the man in front of him along with four others within a hundred meters to the side.

After five seconds, the four people a hundred meters to the left would head south, and the man in front would turn counterclockwise.

This would be his chance.

Five seconds passed, and indeed the man began to turn counterclockwise.

Mu Fan's body slowly rose.

Closer, closer...

When the two of them were less than 2 meters apart, the man finally passed in front of Mu Fan.

At that moment, Mu Fan immediately stood up, stealthily moving to less than half a meter behind him!

Matching his footsteps perfectly, like a puppeteer performing a seamless imitation.

What was most terrifying was that this man had no idea that a pair of eyes was now staring blankly at his back.

Step by step, he returned to his initial point, Mu Fan's calm gaze watching the man's head about to turn, gently stepping to the right.

He completely disappeared from the area...

"Hmm, there's been no activity here, boss." The man had felt something odd just now but assumed he must be tired from his surveillance duties.

After reporting to his boss, he waited a while to arrange a rotation of surveillance.

After slipping behind the rock, Mu Fan had completely left the surveilled area.

For the following time, they would probably think he was still there.

Mu Fan glanced back faintly before proceeding straight ahead.

Seal off, break through.

"The car is behind a wall four hundred meters ahead."

"Got it."

Moments later, Mu Fan's figure appeared inside it, alone in the sealed vehicle.

From now till tomorrow, he would become a ghost walking in darkness.

"Black, calling Bai Guyue."

Mu Fan looked at his left hand, the pinky and ring fingers could still slightly hook, but the remaining three fingers were temporarily immobile.

This was only temporary, because he could still feel the sensation in his fingertips. He needed to restore his nerve function as soon as possible.

At this time, Bai Guyue, who held the title of a senior Medicinal Plant Master, was his only choice.

Under Black's simulation, the wristwatch directly replaced Sky Communication, and using Mu Fan's Sky Communication card number as a disguise, it dialed Bai Guyue's number directly.

In Shanyu Alley's E District, within the ancient and fragrant residence, various plants wrapped around the exquisite building.

It was nearly 1:00 AM, and a young girl was lying asleep on a laboratory table.

The experimental containers next to her had not yet been cleaned, and she was still wearing a white lab coat.

Clearly, she was too tired and had fallen asleep.

But for Bai Guyue, this was already routine.

As her grandfather said, one must have a sense of crisis for the future in order to survive better in this world.

The always obedient Bai Guyue naturally chose to listen to her grandfather.

Falling asleep during an experiment had happened several times.

As long as her grandfather did not discover it, it was fine.

The girl by the laboratory table subconsciously grasped a beaker with her fair wrist and pulled it into her embrace, sleeping more peacefully.

But then, a sudden ringtone startled the girl.

"I was just too tired. I only slept for a little while, just a little while!"

The girl in the white lab coat quickly got up and said in a fluster.

But after five seconds, the ringing persisted; she then realized it wasn't her grandfather checking on her!

"Oh, thank goodness, dodged it this time."

Thinking she hadn't been caught by her grandfather, the easily shy girl smiled happily.

Ding ding ding!

Still ringing. Who could be contacting her at this late hour, the Biological and Pharmacist Association?

Bai Guyue curiously looked over, and the display on the Sky Communication showed two characters "Mu Fan."

Hm?

With skeptical eyes, Bai Guyue chose to answer.

"Mu Fan, what's the matter so late?"

Hearing Bai Guyue answer the Sky Communication, Mu Fan's heart was already half relieved.

"I have three overlapping gunshot wounds below my left shoulder. Although they've been preliminarily treated, I'm still bleeding, and my left hand's nerve function is impaired. I need your help," Mu Fan, feeling the viscous sensation on his left shoulder, calmly stated the facts in the shortest amount of words.

"Ah, come quick!"

Hearing the words 'gunshot wounds', Bai Guyue got scared and quickly responded without asking even a single unnecessary question.

Her palm pressed down on the control button next to her, and the specially made Biological Repair Chamber began to emit Ghost Energy.

At the same time, a surgical table popped up next to her, densely packed with surgical tools.

With a mask and disposable gloves attached nearby, Bai Guyue was already prepared for emergency treatment.

"Thank you, I'll be there shortly." Mu Fan had already seen the corner of the street, where the entrance to Shanyu Alley was located.

The Sky Communication was disconnected.

The unmanned vehicle stopped, and when Mu Fan appeared, the tall wooden door squeaked open.

The girl in white pharmacist uniform was already looking towards Mu Fan.

"Come in quickly."

Without further conversation, Mu Fan dashed into the door, and the Floating Car quietly moved to the side.

The night returned to silence.

But on the first floor's surgical table, Bai Guyue looked at Mu Fan's wounds, her face grim: "These wounds... the destructive power is too strong, the actual damage to the tissue is far greater than the trauma surface, even under my treatment you will need at least 18 hours to heal!"

18 hours...

Thinking about what he had to do next, Mu Fan gently shook his head, his tone slow yet exceptionally resolute:

"Three hours at most, I just need to recover the nerve function… everything is up to you."
