The scariest situation in horror movies is often not a head-on battle with the ghost or the murderer, but the fact that, although you are well aware there’s a brutal boss right next to you, you just can’t see it. You have no idea when it will attack, so you can only hold your breath in fear, waiting for the invisible knife hanging over your neck to fall suddenly.
ShouHe didn’t forcibly split the spaceship in half the first chance he found, which made Lian Yu’s heart beat irregularly nonstop. He developed major PTSD. The psychological shadow caused by ShouHe is much more serious than he had imagined.
Lian Yu quickly entered a series of commands in his skin-colored terminal, and with a swipe of two fingers, a floating screen unfolded in front of him. The projection was connected to a Slave Market monitor he had invaded before. Once the signal was connected, the monitor automatically began to find and track ShouHe, then displayed his current situation in real time.
Dozens of deep-water mermen gathered together, one after another, pouncing on their companions, forming another fish tower, but this time it was not to rescue someone, but to seal ShouHe tightly under the “tower” made of flesh.
For a moment, this scene on the sea was extra spectacular. The sharp teeth, nails, and fins of the mermen added a strong visual impact to the tower, which appeared so scary that it seemed like the most terrifying and sharp torture device in the world. ShouHe, who was less than two meters tall, was imprisoned in this tower ‘built to reach the sky’. Anyone would think that he surely has no chance of survival.
This explains why ShouHe has not attacked them yet. The mermen allies spared no effort to help their friend in order to repay this temporary ally who guided and helped them rescue the shallow-water merman intact.
The ninth prince of the Zerg royal family has been well-read since childhood, so he must know the lethality of deep-water mermen. He couldn’t help but gulp at this purgatory-like scene, and said in fear: “I’m afraid he will be torn into pieces…”
“Who do you mean when you say torn into pieces? The mermen?” Lian Yu’s expression did not relax a bit. Even when he saw Cen Zhen enter the cockpit, he did not joke that he would drag down their driving capability. “It’s possible, but he probably won’t kill them all, and since the battlefield is on the sea, even if the mermen can’t beat him, they will definitely be able to escape.”
“!!!” Jiu’s two pairs of compound eyes almost popped out, and he stammered, and suddenly opened a hidden system in the control screen that he had never touched before – airship space jump.
“It’s useless.” Lian Yu said rationally and cruelly, “The jump requires nearly half an hour of preparation time, and you can only jump once in a short period of time. Believe me, these thirty minutes are enough for ShouHe to go back and forth between the ground and this spaceship thirty times.”
“…” Jiu’s hand paused for a moment, but still set the jump destination, disregarding everything, and prepared to jump.
Enfei, YaoJin, and Pan also entered the cockpit with Cen Zhen. Everyone on the spaceship gathered together to welcome death. After all, this was a matter of life and death, and everyone had no time to greet each other. All eyes were focused on the floating screen in front of Lian Yu. The cockpit was so quiet, the only sensation left was the heavy breathing and the smell of sea water.
The two young men, YaoJin and Pan, were still a little reluctant, especially YaoJin, who had more interaction with ShouHe. He bit his lower lip and looked solemn. Seeing the broken limbs and all the blood floating in the sea, he couldn’t tell what he was thinking, and said: “Lian Yu, ShouHe…”
“ShouHe is breaking out.” Lian Yu interrupted him quickly, “Pan, you come to drive the spaceship, and the rest of you get ready for battle.”
“No way!” Enfei was so scared that he couldn’t control his voice, “How could it be?”
“No, no no no, I can’t do it!” Pan was about to cry, but was pushed to the main driving position by the ruthless Lian Yu, “You can do it, you are the best driver here.”
“What a joke! I have only driven a simulated practice spaceship on the Star Network!!”
“It’s okay, we’re going to die anyway, just treat it as a simulated practice spaceship on the Star Network.”
Pan: “……”
Pan: “???”
How can it be certain that we will die? Can’t we still kowtow to apologize to ShouHe and ask for leniency? ?
Facts have proven that Lian Yu’s judgment of his lifelong enemy was not wrong. Before Enfei’s exclamation completely subsided, the deep-water mermen outside the tower fell into the water one after another. Soon, the mermen inside were suddenly overturned, as if a gap had been blown out of a solid bunker. The mermen inside were all covered in blood and seriously injured.
The leader of the deep-water mermen believed that his sincerity to his allies was enough. He hugged his lost lover and urgently called all the tribes to flee. In an instant, all the deep-water mermen scattered. Those who could still move carried a wounded fellow tribesman on their backs and quickly dived into the endless ocean, disappearing without a trace.
ShouHe was also injured, with scratches on his arms and face, one of which even scratched his eyes, but the eyeballs underneath were still intact. His clothes were torn into strips, barely hanging on his body to cover the key parts, but this did not prevent ShouHe’s eagle eyes from being sharp. He clenched his fists and looked around. The next second, he happened to look into the camera monitor Lian Yu had invaded.
Everyone on the spaceship watching the monitor was shocked and felt the chill to the bottom of their hearts. Cen Zhen was naturally born calm, so he was able to remain calm at this moment. He suddenly realized something, frowned, and turned his head thoughtfully, looking at the closed hatch of the spaceship behind them.
In the floating screen, because of the departure of the deep-water mermen, many survivors of the Slave Market emerged and began to evacuate anxiously and secretly. However, at this time, the reinforcements of the Interstellar Police Department had also arrived. The spaceship they were driving was dozens of times larger than the Zerg’s. It could be considered an island in the sky, almost on par with the giant ship of the Slave Market. More than a hundred auxiliary police officers of various races jumped off the spaceship. The leading ones saluted ShouHe briefly, and then immediately started the intensive and orderly arrest work.
“Slow down and open the hatch.” Cen Zhen suddenly walked to Pan and said. Pan couldn’t understand at all and asked with an empty mind: “Are you giving up resistance?”
“Basically. If we don’t open the door, ShouHe will tear it open directly. At that time, a spaceship without the hatch will be useless anyway.”
“……”
Pan looked back at the others in shock. Enfei also looked unbelievably shocked and asked: “Why should we slow down? Shouldn’t we speed up and leave the atmosphere?”
“Because ShouHe can chase us out of the atmosphere. We need to breathe when we leave the atmosphere, but the Zhongyang people don’t.” Cen Zhen explained: “So the choice now is to be torn open in an oxygen-free environment, or to be torn open in a place where the oxygen is thin and barely breathable.”
“……”
Lian Yu didn’t say anything, as if he was immersed in some horrible memories, while YaoJin asked with lingering fear: “Do we have a chance of winning?” Seeing that Pan was hesitant to move, Cen Zhen simply did it himself and pressed the button to open the hatch. Pan suddenly came to his senses, pushed down the thrusters, and slowed down the flight speed. On the side, Lian Yu gave a desperate answer, “No, if nothing unexpected happens. However, at most we have a minor crime of obstructing the Star Police from performing their duties. We can leave after being locked up for two days, and maybe we can use this to escape the final exam of the Tower. But…”
Enfei’s face turned pale. “No, I can’t be locked up again! It’s not easy for me to get to this day with Jiu! Jiu will definitely be forced to marry other Zergs if the Queen catches him! No, it can’t be like this… I will definitely be executed quietly in prison…”
At this time, Jiu, who was in the co-pilot seat, suddenly exclaimed to the floating screen: “ShouHe is gone!”
Everyone immediately felt like they were facing a great enemy. Lian Yu turned around and looked at the slowly lowering hatch, and said in a low voice: “You should say… he has come.”
The hatch dropped a little more, slowly revealing ShouHe’s bloody face, with a pair of thick eyebrows and black pupils hiding murderous intent. He has always been so ruthless to criminals, especially those who are first-level wanted criminals with a record of prison escape.
Pan’s hand shook, and he flipped the spaceship with a high difficulty side roll. Although he says I can’t do it, I can’t do it, his actions were more ruthless than anyone else’s. Jiu and Pan were tied to the driving seat without any hindrance. Enfei reacted quickly and suddenly spread his insect wings and flew in the air. Lian Yu and Cen Zhen stumbled several steps. The former quickly found an object to hold on to, and the latter was dragged by the snow leopard by mouth and then fell into Lian Yu’s arms.
This rollover was aimed at ShouHe, who had just stepped onto the spaceship, but Pan was still too naive. He probably thought ShouHe had jumped directly from the ground to the spaceship. In reality, ShouHe’s body was completely unaffected by the spaceship’s tilting. He could fly. He suspended himself in the spaceship, and not even his hair was messed up.
“……” Pan silently straightened the spaceship back.
“It seems that you are not ready to cooperate with me.” ShouHe stepped on the ship again and walked forward slowly, step by step. Although his target was obviously Enfei standing by the door of the cab, Lian Yu subconsciously hid behind Cen Zhen, buried his head in Cen Zhen’s shoulder, and timidly glanced at ShouHe with one eye.
A typical guilty conscience.
Enfei always showed a chatterbox and naive impression, but even for him, it only took milliseconds to go from fear to calmness. Facing a monster, even if he knew he was the mantis trying to stop a car, he still drew the gun from his waist. All because his lover was standing behind him, he would never give in and let Jiu return to that terrible hell.
“I’m unjust.” Enfei raised his gun, “I never killed any of my kind, and I had no choice but to escape from prison.”
“Leave all these words to the court.” ShouHe didn’t stop at all. Enfei gritted his teeth and fired, all three bullets were fired into the air. The next second, ShouHe had arrived in front of him, punched him in the lower abdomen, Enfei felt the severe pain belatedly, he didn’t even see any of ShouHe’s movement. Lian Yu also launched an attack at the same time as ShouHe punched. Getting hit by a S-level Sentinel’s full-strength punch, even a Zhongyang couldn’t remain indifferent. ShouHe’s face got deformed by the punch, when Enfei covered his lower abdomen and fell to the ground, Lian Yu also punched ShouHe out of the air.
The huge impact made ShouHe roll several times on the ground, and then he got bumped out of the hatch. ShouHe squinted his swollen eyes and grabbed the door of the spacecraft with one hand.
YaoJin made his decision at this moment. He decided to stand by Enfei’s side without reservation, because he believed in the choice of his friends Lian Yu and Cen Zhen, and because he was still a student and did not have the same strong respect for the law as ShouHe.
The moment ShouHe flew out of the hatch, YaoJin suddenly picked up a long stick in his hand and chopped at him, hitting his arm with a force that could almost break ShouHe’s bones. With a bang, the long stick broke, and ShouHe’s arm instantly lost strength. YaoJin immediately pried open his fingers and watched ShouHe fall off with a gasp.
