Chapter 302 Worth a Try
When Liu Cheng heard this, he remained silent.
He did not obey Zhou Zun's order and evacuated directly.
Instead, he stood there, lowered his head and thought, calculating the pros and cons in his heart.
When Augustine standing aside saw him like this, he immediately understood what Liu Cheng wanted to do.
So Augustine frowned, shaking his head slightly and winking at Liu Cheng.
When Li Ronghao and Zhou Zun saw Liu Cheng's appearance, they knew that they knew something they didn't know.
So Zhou Zun said to Liu Cheng:
"What's wrong? Just tell me if you have anything."
Liu Cheng thought for a long time and raised his head.
When he was about to speak, Augustine interrupted him directly and said:
"Can't!"
Seeing Augustine restrain Liu Cheng, Zhou Zun and Li Ronghao became even more curious.
"Is there something that Augustine and Liu Cheng know but can't tell them about?"
Zhou Zun and Li Ronghao thought in their hearts.
Liu Cheng looked at Augustine, his eyes still filled with persistence.
Seeing that Liu Cheng still didn't give up, Augustine said to Liu Cheng:
"Butcher, it doesn't matter if you don't take my safety seriously, don't you even care about your own safety?!
If you tell anyone, there will definitely be no good outcome for the two of us! "
Faced with Augustine's rebuke, Liu Cheng made up his mind and insisted:
"Senior Augustine, I have thought about the consequences that I may face after doing this.
However, if I don't do this, then the ST55568 planet where our 10894th Corps has finally gained a foothold will be finished!
Senior, do you know how many people our Corps sacrificed just to take back the military fortress on planet ST55568 from the alien creatures? "
Augustine was silent, of course he didn't know.
"Special operations forces plus Marine Corps soldiers have sacrificed 100,000 people!"
Liu Cheng said:
“Among these 100,000 people, the losses caused by blocking Leviathan have not been counted!
If the ST55568 planet is abandoned, the army will want to gain a foothold in the three-star domain.
The number of people expected to die will definitely not be less than 100,000!
If I were to choose to take the risk of possibly sacrificing my freedom for the rest of my life in exchange for sacrificing hundreds of thousands of lives less.
I think it’s still worth a try! "
Liu Cheng had a resolute expression on his face.
As a soldier, this was the first time Augustine saw Liu Cheng's fortitude and selfless dedication for the safety of other comrades.
Augustine couldn't help but be surprised, and was shocked by the spirit Liu Cheng showed.
Liu Cheng explained his motivations for considering the matter, smiled at Augustine, and said comfortingly:
"Although I feel sorry for you, Senior Augustine, being involved.
But the risk involved in this matter is just relatively high. Maybe the result will be much better than the two of us expected? "
Augustine closed his eyes, pursed his lower lip, and took a deep breath.
Finally, Augustine sighed helplessly, waved his hand, and said angrily to Liu Cheng:
"No matter!
Even if my mouth is on your body, I can't control you.
If you want to say it, just say it. Who asked me to do this to you? "
Liu Cheng bowed to Augustine to express his apology and gratitude.
Immediately he looked at Zhou Zun and said to him with a serious face:
"Commander Zhou Zun and Commander Li Ronghao, in fact, in addition to the three reported superpowers, I also have a fourth superpower.
Maybe it can resolve the imbalance in the energy core and prevent it from exploding. "
Li Ronghao heard this and was surprised to learn that Liu Cheng had a fourth supernatural ability.
Zhou Zun was overjoyed when he heard that Liu Cheng might have a way to prevent the energy core from exploding.
He asked:
"Do you really mean what you said?!
Do you really have a way to stop the energy core from exploding? "
Liu Cheng nodded:
"It might work, but it needs to be tried."
"What about the risk?" Zhou Zun asked.
Liu Cheng thought for a while and replied:
“If it fails, it may cause the energy balance of the energy core to be immediately disrupted.
Maybe everyone present will die here. "
Zhou Zun nodded and said:
"Okay, let's try it."
Augustine turned his head to look at Zhou Zun and asked:
"Aren't you going to leave? You won't be needed for the next thing."
In Augustine's view, since Liu Cheng wanted to use his purification ability, the number of witnesses present could be reduced by one.
It would be best if both Li Ronghao and Zhou Zun left, leaving only him and Liu Cheng.
This way there is no need to risk exposing the secrets of their abilities.
However, Zhou Zun did shake his head and said:
"I'm like this now. Without your help, I definitely can't leave alone.
Besides, if something unexpected happens along the way, maybe we can help. "
Augustine snorted coldly when he heard this.
He wanted to ask Li Ronghao and Zhou Zun to leave.
But when he thought about it, what if something went wrong while Liu Cheng was dealing with the energy core.
Then wouldn't the two of them just play with their lives?
In that case, it would be better to have Zhou Zun and Li Ronghao present.
The worst thing is to become a prisoner of a powerful person.
Since Li Ronghao and Zhou Zun were ready to try with him, Liu Cheng would not waste any more time.
He walked to the front of the energy core, nodded to everyone, and then slowly put his hand on it.
When Liu Cheng's palm approached the energy core, he could immediately feel the residual energy of Leviathan's body, mixed with the stinging feeling brought by the violent aura.
He endured the pain in the palm of his hand and used the purification ability on the energy core surrounded by black and gray death.
In an instant, the energy beams around the energy core gathered energy and used it on Liu Cheng's palm.
The violent energy instantly pierced Liu Cheng's palm.
Liu Cheng was still gritting his teeth and persisting, but his palm was already full of holes, and his five fingers became bloody.
Leviathan is indeed a level 7 alien creature. Even the life energy left by the corpse after death is too huge for Liu Cheng.
It is not something that Liu Cheng, a level 3 superpower, can control at all.
Liu Cheng's left hand forcibly grabbed his right wrist to prevent his right hand from being bounced away by the violent energy emanating from the energy core.
Now he couldn't insist, nor could he cancel the purification.
If he canceled the purification of the supernatural power halfway and gave up extracting the dead air.
The energy core would lose balance and explode on the spot.
Therefore, his only way out now was to persist to the end and extract all the dead air from the energy core.
However, this kind of persistence requires strong strength and control, and it cannot be solved by willpower alone.
Liu Cheng showed a painful look on his face and clenched his teeth.
He grinned and said to Zhou Zun and others:
"Run... I can't hold on any longer!
