294: I won't go back, and I can't go back

In the universe, Apocalypse maintained a steady speed, heading towards another Level 3 peak technological civilization planet that the system had previously located.

Inside the ship's cabin, Lin Yang looked at Lin Mu and slowly said, "Later, we will first go to an ordinary technological planet. Apocalypse will remain in a distant star field. You will pilot a mech to enter the planet and first buy a random spaceship to replace Apocalypse. Apocalypse is not suitable to continue appearing within other technological civilization planets, so as to avoid exposure and trouble."

"Understood, Commander Sir, Lin Mu understands," Lin Mu immediately nodded.

This plan was discussed just after leaving the tribal planet.

Apocalypse was too conspicuous and it was best not to appear easily again, so they had to first acquire an ordinary spaceship as a temporary replacement to freely enter and exit various technological civilization planets.

Among all of them, only Lin Mu could go without breathing for a long time, making him suitable to travel through space to complete this mission.

As for Apocalypse, it would temporarily find an uninhabited planet to stay on, awaiting the discovery of a star route back to the Galaxy.

The system quickly locked onto a suitable technological planet.

"Host, Apocalypse can land on a planet with a harsh environment nearby for now, and let Lin Mu pilot the mech to buy a spaceship. This place is relatively remote and less likely to attract attention."

"Alright, transmit the target planet's information to Lin Mu," Lin Yang nodded.

Subsequently, Apocalypse chose to land on a planet with a rather harsh environment.

The reason for choosing a planet with a harsh environment was also to reduce the possibility of being discovered.

After receiving the relevant information, Lin Mu said, "Commander Sir, I estimate it will take three days to return."

"No rush, safety first. It doesn't matter if it takes a bit longer," Lin Yang instructed.

Apocalypse has a complete circulatory system inside. As long as there is sufficient energy, even in the harshest environment, there is no need to worry about survival, so there is absolutely no need to rush.

"Alright, then I'll go first," Lin Mu nodded, then piloted the mech and left directly.

Only Lin Yang and Cang Miao remained inside the cabin.

During this time, Cang Miao had hardly shown his face in front of the tribal people.

Although the tribe was primitive and backward, to be on the safe side, they had not been allowed to see Cang Miao.

Now that Cang Miao was able to come out of his room and move around, he said with emotion, "Commander Sir, you are truly benevolent, risking exposure to save that primitive tribe."

Lin Yang smiled, "After receiving such a valuable gift from them, naturally I couldn't just stand by."

With that, he looked at Cang Miao, thought for a moment, and said, "Once Lin Mu buys the spaceship back, I'm going to participate in the Cosmic Mercenary Corps's preliminary mercenary assessment. For now, I have no way to conceal your identity as a Wu Cang Clan, so you should continue to stay here with Apocalypse for now."

"Alright," Cang Miao responded.

"Mmm, it's been hard on you staying in Apocalypse all this time," Lin Yang said.

"It's not hard at all, this little bit of hardship is nothing," Cang Miao shook his head repeatedly, "Compared to being a slave, this is countless times happier."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yang pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, when I bought you, I didn't have any particular intentions. If you want to go home, I can find a way to release your slave chip, and you can go home on your own."

At that time, he bought Cang Miao simply because the system said the Wu Cang Clan were incredibly valuable, and he hadn't thought of using Cang Miao for anything.

The people of Blue Star had almost become slaves to other Aliens, and he could deeply empathize with that feeling.

During this time, they had also gotten along more like friends, especially when they were attacked by the Marked Man and forced to travel through the spatial barrier. It was also thanks to Cang Miao who protected his head immediately, otherwise, something serious might have happened.

So at this moment, these words were also Lin Yang's heartfelt thoughts.

If Cang Miao wanted to go home, he was willing to give Cang Miao freedom.

Cang Miao was instantly stunned, and after a long while, he took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Commander Sir, thank you for your benevolence, but I won't go back, and I can't go back."

"Hmm? Can't go back? What do you mean?" Lin Yang was a little puzzled.

"Commander Sir, you know the special nature of our Wu Cang Clan, so our clan has a rule: once a clan member is exposed or goes missing, whether killed or captured, as long as an accident occurs, then in order not to implicate other clan members, the clan will immediately cut off all contact with this clan member who had the accident, and simultaneously relocate."

Cang Miao slowly began:

"And even if contact is re-established later, this person will not gain the trust of the clan, and no clan information will be given to the clan member who had the accident, to prevent the clan member from being controlled and intentionally extracting information."

"So, I can't go back."

"This..." Lin Yang was also stunned for a moment, then sighed, "Your clan is truly cautious, to such an extent."

"Yes, there's no other way. In the past, our clan had an incident where a missing clan member was controlled and then re-contacted the clan, almost leading to the clan's demise. So from then on, the clan became even more cautious," Cang Miao also sighed.

"I understand. Since that's the case, I won't say these words again. You can train in peace on Apocalypse. When you become a formidable Super Warrior, perhaps they will trust you more if you then wish to return home," Lin Yang said softly.

"Commander Sir, thank you for your nurturing, but there is something Cang Miao doesn't know whether to say or not," Cang Miao showed some hesitation.

"Just say it," Lin Yang looked at him.

"Commander Sir, for our clan members to fully transform into Super Warriors, it requires a lot and a lot of resources, especially in the final transformation stage. Without sufficient resources, it is impossible to successfully become a Super Warrior, and there is a time limit for the transformation stage. If the transformation cannot be completed within the limited time, then there will be no possibility of ever becoming a Super Warrior for life."

Cang Miao looked at Lin Yang and suddenly said this.

Lin Yang was a little startled, "What do you mean by this?"

"Commander Sir, my meaning is very simple. The cost of cultivating a Wu Cang Clan into a Super Warrior is too great. Therefore, Cang Miao does not want to continue training. With those resources, Commander Sir could cultivate several powerful Super Gene Warriors," Cang Miao said seriously.

Lin Yang immediately frowned, "Are you afraid I'll be stingy with resources?"

"No! No!" Cang Miao instantly shook his head frantically, "Don't misunderstand, I just feel that you treat Cang Miao sincerely, so Cang Miao doesn't want Commander Sir to continue losing out."

Cang Miao looked at Lin Yang and said very sincerely, "This secret is rarely known to outsiders. The reason our clan's Super Warriors are so powerful is that the final stage of transformation requires very precious special items for assistance."

"If it were ordinary people, our clan would not tell them. We would rather let them waste materials and then kill them in a fit of rage at the last moment than tell them. This is the only means of revenge our clan can employ, but Commander Sir, you are different."

"Therefore, Cang Miao doesn't want you to continue spending. Our clan's final transformation is very, very costly."

My condition has recovered a bit today, so I'm updating an hour early!

Keep up the good work tomorrow!
