70. Chapter 70
Eagle couldn't understand why Ludwig, who had turned into a red dragon, was able to see him, so he could only run away without hesitation.
The dozen or so soldiers specially arranged by General Lanton to protect them on the spaceship heard the noise and ran over and fired at the frantic Red Dragon, but the bullets from their particle guns, semi-automatic pistols, and sniper rifles could not penetrate the Red Dragon's hard skin, leaving only small scratches and blood streaks on it.
The red dragon's anger was completely awakened, he slammed his body into the aisle, knocking the ship to the ground, and then roared at the soldiers more than ten meters in front of him, there was no flame, just the air currents flipped these soldiers and flew backwards, falling to the steel wall of the spaceship.
There was another burst of flames, and the narrow aisle and the bridge at the end of the aisle were burning, and the soldiers on fire let out a howl of pain, and the flames of the red dragon were even hotter and more terrifying than ordinary flames, and in a matter of moments, they had burned their body armor and kissed their skin. The automatic sprinkler system started on its own, and the water sprayed slightly to relieve the pain of the soldiers.
Ludwig also regained a little consciousness in the splash, he remembered Shen Ling, Shen Ling was brought here with him, where is he now? Will he be in danger? What the hell did that hateful bastard do to him?
He turned back into a human body, and for a moment he was dizzy, and he almost fell to the ground without his body, but at this time he couldn't faint, and he couldn't have any weakness, he was going to rescue his lover...... Perhaps, perhaps, and his children?
He propped his hand against the wall, picked up the pistol that had fallen to the ground, and walked up to the soldier closest to him, clutching his fire-burned arm and wailing in pain, he lifted him by the soldier's charred collar with one hand, and pressed the pistol against his temple.
"Where is the guy with me locked up by you?"
"In ...... In the operating room. The soldier pointed him in the right direction in horror.
Ludwig threw down his soldier and ran briskly in the direction he had indicated.
Behind him, the soldier he threatened picked up another particle gun and aimed it at Ludwig's back, and just as his finger was about to pull the trigger, Ludwig, who was keenly aware of the danger, took a step ahead of him, and quickly turned around and stopped the soldier's heart with a bullet.
Ludwig remembered what his grandfather had once said to him - never show any mercy to your enemies, they will turn around and give you a shot at any moment.
Grandpa was right.
His whole life was bathed in praise and sunshine, and although he was forced to train hard from an early age, in reality, he did not participate in any actual combat at all. He doesn't understand the cruelty of war, even if he has no ability, he is still just a little chick hiding behind his giant-like grandfather waiting to be fed.
He is too weak to protect his lover.
His grandfather is different, his grandfather is a real strong man, a storage that makes the enemy tremble and fear as long as he hears the name.
He must become as powerful as his grandfather in order to protect his cherished family, his unique lover, and his future childrenβ
Someone kept screaming and calling his name in his head, but the voice was getting farther and farther away, more and more indistinct. Shen Ling knew that it was Phoenix and Ash calling him, but he couldn't hear the content of their words clearly, and could only vaguely distinguish that someone was crying.
Lying on the operating table, he looked at the people standing beside him in confusion.
His hands and tail were strapped to the operating table, and the blinding white light shone ghostly at the nurses, Louie, and Nicholas around him.
The flickering cold light on the scalpel Louis held in his hand stung his eyes.
What are they going to do? Are you going to kill him? Is it going to take his heart?
If he dies, what will happen to his children?
The sound of the baby crying became clearer and clearer in Shen Ling's mind, and he could even hear the voice calling for him, asking him for help.
"Daddy, help me, help me, wow-"
It's his child!
He and Ludwig's children!
A layer of fog seemed to cover his eyes, and when the fog lifted, a poor little dough lay on the ground, crying hoarsely. Little Pink Ball stretched out two fleshy little hands to him, and shouted at him out of breath.
"Daddy, save me."
β¦β¦
"Crying?" Louis paused with the hand holding the scalpel, and he couldn't bear it, he took off his surgical gloves and reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of Shen Ling's eyes.
After all, it is a child he once raised, and he still has a little affection, but in the face of his promising future and the research he has been obsessed with for decades, this affection is particularly small.
"Don't grind, hurry." Desperate to get his hands on the heart of the legendary mermaid, Nicholas urges impatiently.
Louie put on his gloves again, picked up the scalpel, and the sharp blade hung in Shen Ling's heart-
Suddenly, the spaceship shook violently, and the two nurses standing on the edge of the operating table fell to the ground screaming, and Louis and Nicholas barely managed to stabilize themselves by holding on to the operating table that was fixed to the ground in time. The cart full of surgical tools slammed into the pale blue wall at the angle of the ship's tilt, and various surgical tools fell to the ground with a "clang".
At this time, powerful soul power overflowed from Shen Ling's body, and the surgical tools that fell on the ground seemed to be suddenly infused with vitality, suspended in mid-air with a brush, and the sharp knife edge and sharp scissor mouth were aimed at the backs of Nicholas and Louis who were holding the operating table.
Shen Ling's eyes opened slowly, his gaze was as cold as a sharp ice edge, and he looked at Louis and Nicholas as if he were looking at two dead people.
"Oh no, he's awake!" Louis didn't dare to delay any longer, grabbed the scalpel and prepared to directly understand Shen Ling's life.
The surgical tools suspended in mid-air were faster than him, scissors, tweezers, and scalpels flew over with a "brush" and plunged into his calves.
"Ahh The pain made Louie's hand tremble, and the scalpel fell, and when the scalpel was about to stab into Shen Ling's body, it stopped abruptly, changed direction, and stabbed Louie's wrist.
"Idiot! Rubbish! "The situation took a turn for the worse, and Nicholas was so angry that he muttered." Kill him! Hurry up and kill him! β
Louie's hands and feet were weak in pain, Nicholas knew that he couldn't be relied on, and pulled out the scalpel from Louie's wrist, blood splattered all over him, he gave a kick in disgust, kicked the guy who was in the way, and sneered and raised the scalpel to stab Shen Ling's heart.
The door to the operating room quickly slid open, and a gunshot rang out, and Nicholas, holding the scalpel, froze on his face and fell to the ground. A single gunshot rang out, and Louie stopped struggling.
Ludwig whispered to the two nurses in the corner, who were trembling together, "Get out!" The two immediately crawled out of the operating room.
He hurried in and shot Nicholas as he fell to the ground.
Confirming that both men were dead, Ludwig hurriedly untied the belts around Shen Ling's tail and arms.
Seeing Ludwig, Shen Ling's chaotic heart was relaxed, but as soon as his heart was put down, tears couldn't stop falling down.
Ludwig hugged Shen Ling, patted his vest, and comforted, "It's okay, don't be afraid." β
"I ...... I heard our children crying. Shen Ling sobbed and told Ludwig, "I'm afraid I won't be able to protect him." β
Do you really have a child?
Ludwig and Shen Ling parted, looked down at Shen Ling's flat little belly in surprise, and then covered his palm.
Shen Ling's belly was cold and cold, and when Ludwig covered his palm, he seemed to feel a tenacious little life jumping happily inside.
This is his and Shen Ling's child!
The joy of becoming a father made him can't help but hug Shen Ling and turn around on the blood-soaked ground.
"I'll protect you and him." He swore to Shen Ling, "I will watch him be born, teach him to drive a hovercar, drive a mecha, and drive a spaceship...... By the way, his name is Arthur, and he is named after his grandfather, and his grandfather and second grandfather will definitely be crazy with joy! β
"If it's a girl, call it Celia." Shen Ling, who was infected by Ludwig's joy, also began to actively think of a name for his baby, "It's the same as when you were a child." β
Ludwig didn't like the name Celia, but whatever he was, as long as Shen Ling liked it, it was enough. He lifted Shen Ling up and kissed him twice on the belly.
Shen Ling, who was giggling with amusement, weakly slapped the back of Ludwig's hand twice, "Don't make trouble, let's get out of here quickly." β
"Yes, get out of here." Ludwig hugged Shen Ling and took him out of the operating room-
Wandering around the ship, Eagle was in dire need of a body at this point.
His soul strength was extremely weak, and if he didn't find a suitable body, he would be lost at any time. But even if he finds his body, there is no possibility of his strength recovering.
Before he knew it, he had drifted into a luxurious room.
This is Nicholas's room, and the arrogant stupid young master is not in good health, but because Iggy feels that his plan this time is foolproof, he doesn't bring many people over. Just now Ludwig made such a fuss, and the people who were suitable for the body were almost destroyed, compared to the old and sick people who were still left on the spaceship, Nicholas's health was also good. At this time, he has no right to be picky.
Iggy did not see Nicholas in this room as he wished, and he floated into the bedroom, where a naked/naked teenager lay on the double bed in the bedroom. The bruises on the boy's body and the mess of props around him had made Eagle aware of what had happened here a few hours ago.
The grumpy young master abused his lover to the point of fainting, and he didn't even have the heart to cover his lover with a thin quilt before leaving.
Igg's heart was very disgusted with the young man's body in front of him, which was treated as a toy, but at this time, he had no choice. It could only break into his body from the center of the boy's eyebrows and occupy his body.
The teenager's consciousness was weak, and Iggy got the body very lightly. It was only when he sat up with this body that he felt all kinds of pain in the boy's abused body, which almost fell apart, and the burning sensation that made people ashamed somewhere.
He got up, grabbed a random piece of clothing from the closet and put it on, limped out of the room, and walked to the ship's master control cabin.
As an invisible man, he has lost the value of living after losing his power, but even if he wants to die, he will take Ludwig, Shen Ling and the people on the entire spaceship to be buried together!
At this time, Ludwig, who casually went to a room and found two clothes to put on with Shen Ling, decided to snatch the control of the spaceship first and inform Kamilia. Then find a place where you can land and escape in an escape pod. However, only the main control compartment could check the specific situation of the spacecraft, so the two went to the main control compartment along the aisle first.
The noisy siren suddenly sounded overwhelmingly, and the mechanical female voice prompted: "Red alert, red alert, the spacecraft will activate the self-destruction system in ten minutes, please evacuate all staff in time-"
"Someone activated the ship's self-destruct system, we have to get out of here right away!" The idea of controlling the ship was no longer feasible, and now they had to race against time to get out of the ship from the escape pod.
Ludwig pulled Shen Ling, who had changed back into human form, and ran wildly in the direction of the main control room, and on the way, they saw that some of the remaining logistics personnel on the spaceship were frightened and panicked.
Walking to the door, Ludwig smelled blood.
"There's a situation in there." Ludwig lowered his voice and Shen Ling said.
"I'll let Ash go in and take a look." Shen Ling let Ash jump out of his body and burrow into the main control cabin through the gap between the doors. A few minutes later, Shen Ling, who came back, the original pilot of the main control cabin was killed, and now the person sitting in the operation seat in the main control cabin was Xiao Yan, who was playing with a particle gun in his hand.
Shen Ling told Ludwig about the situation.
The two were still about to think of a countermeasure, the door of the main control cabin had automatically slid open, and Xiao Yan's cold voice came out from inside.
"Aren't you coming in?"
Ludwig loaded the pistol and whispered to Shen Ling: "There's no time, I'll go in first, you wait outside." β
Shen Ling disagreed. "I'll be easier to deal with him than you, let's go in together."
Ludwig understood the power of Shen Ling's soul, and he no longer objected, and walked in with him.
"Xiao Yan" sat on a rotating chair and turned around playfully, and when he saw two people coming in, he stopped and smiled at them: "Before you kill me, can you listen to me say a few words?" β
As soon as he walked in, Ludwig immediately raised his pistol and aimed at him, and Shen Ling also released his soul power to form an encirclement around Xiao Yan, as long as he made a slight movement, he directly crushed his ** with his soul power.
"We don't have time to listen to your nonsense!" Time was so short, Ludwig, of course, didn't want to listen to any nonsense, so he fired a shot and hit "Xiao Yan" in the chest.
Fishy sweet blood spurted out, and "Xiao Yan" covered his chest, enduring the pain and saying the words full of mockery.
"Do you think you can escape? All the escape pods have been ejected by me, and the hatch has been sealed, don't try to escape, and, die with me! He threw up his head and laughed wildly, then rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.
Ludwig rushed to the console and checked it to find that the self-destruct system was irreversible, the escape pods had indeed been ejected, and all the hatches of the ship had been sealed by an immutable command.
All in all, they were trapped inside the ship, which was about to explode.
Ludwig kept typing in commands on the console in an attempt to crack the previous commands, and after a few minutes, he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists and hammered the console, clutching his head in pain.
"No way, no way......"
Shen Ling hugged Ludwig from behind, he rested his head on Ludwig's constantly shaking shoulder, and comforted: "It's okay, at least our family of three is here, isn't it?" β
Ludwig turned around and hugged Shen Ling hard.
Once again, he felt frustrated, why was he still unable to protect the people he loved and his children?
Shen Ling pushed Ludwig away, and from the moment he hugged Ludwig, the phoenix had been yelling in his head, telling him how to escape the ship.
He very calmly clicked a few times on the ship's communicator.
After a busy radio "hiss", a channel was found.
"This is the Paladin, where are you?"
"I'm Shen Ling, the third prince of the empire, Ludwig, is by my side now, we need help, can you send your position over?"
There was a different person on the radio, and the old voice asked, "Is Ludwig with you?" I want to hear his voice! β
Ludwig could hear the voice of the second grandfather, but for some reason his voice was very tired.
"Second grandfather, it's me."
"Where are you?"
Ludwig sent their location over, and a few seconds later, the other party also sent the location, and Shen Ling immediately turned off the communicator.
Originally, he just wanted to find a random spaceship to pass by, but now that the other party is Ludwig's grandfather, it will be even easier.
After checking the other party's location, Shen Ling found that the Paladin was not too far or too close to the location of their spaceship, and if he estimated it accurately, he could send a person over at this distance......
"Mermaid cubs! You can do this distance, just imagine yourself as an object! Don't be sad, now that you're pregnant, your life is more important than Ludwig's, and he won't blame you!"
"Is my life really more important than Ludwig's?"
"Of course!" Phoenix replied without hesitation, he was not greedy for life and afraid of death, but he really wanted Shen Ling and his children to survive more than Ludwig. Although he had already guessed Shen Ling's choice, he could still gamble, at least Shen Ling would choose to let himself survive for the sake of the child in his womb.
"Choose what works right for you." Ash also guessed Shen Ling's choice, he knew Shen Ling better than Phoenix, and he also knew the mermaid race better.
After brewing the words he wanted to say in his mind, Shen Ling turned around and grabbed Ludwig's arm and pulled him closer.
"Ludwig, listen to me." Shen Ling took a deep breath and spit out everything he wanted to say in one go, "Since we are all going to die, then I don't need to hide it from you." I've never loved you, and the baby in my womb isn't yours. β
Ludwig was stunned, not quite understanding what Shen Ling meant. But at this moment, his spirit was extremely tense, and he grabbed Shen Ling's shoulder excitedly, and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean?" Why are you saying this? β
"I've never loved you. You yourself understand, I used to like Celia, and since there is no Celia in this world, then I don't have anyone I like. The corners of Shen Ling's mouth hooked up a mocking arc, "As for the child, he is not yours anyway." β
"No...... No way, you obviously like me, you said you love me! Ludwig's fingers gripping Shen Ling's shoulder tightened hard, and squeezed into Shen Ling's shoulder flesh fiercely.
Shen Ling hissed painfully, and he pushed Ludwig away, "I've never liked you, it's just because you used to be Celia and you were the prince of the empire, so I'm willing to play with you." Do you know why you wanted to be close to me the first time you met, and you still felt like I liked me ever since? Because I'm a mermaid, my physique is destined to attract you! It's just an illusion that you like me, so what's wrong with me not liking you? β
Shen Ling felt that his eyes were a little sour, and when he wiped the corners of his eyes, he found that the tears had come out.
What he said was true and false, and even he couldn't tell which ones were true and which ones were just trying to deceive Ludwig.
Ludwig pounced and pressed Shen Ling against the cold metal wall, his eyes dyed a violent crimson, and his facial features were extremely distorted by Shen Ling's words. He lowered his head and bit Shen Ling's neck, and his canine teeth pierced the skin of Shen Ling's neck, at this time, he just wanted to declare his sovereignty over this person in this way.
His spirit nearly collapsed at this moment.
Since he was locked up, Shen Ling has always been his spiritual pillar, because thinking of Shen Ling, he can grit his teeth and survive when he is locked in an absolutely dark space, and he can always keep his spirit awake when he is tied to the electric chair and subjected to that terrible torture. It was also because he thought of Shen Ling, after turning into a red dragon, he was able to forcibly squeeze out that little bit of strength to find him and take him to this place.
He was already very tired, he was about to collapse, he really didn't want to hear Shen Ling say such things.
If what Shen Ling said was his true words, then he would rather not know anything and die with him like this.
He knew that he definitely didn't love Shen Ling because of his physique, he loved him, it was pure love, pure like.
He wants to live with him for the rest of his life, and he is willing to die with him in the next second, and he never wants the love he has always believed to be nothing more than wishful thinking.
The mechanical female voice has begun the countdown to the last minute.
Shen Ling habitually hugged Ludwig with his backhand, and he patted his vest and left the last words in his ear.
"Live well."
The next moment, Ludwig suddenly disappeared in front of him. His body was emptied in an instant, and he fell to the ground weakly. He touched his stomach and said with a wry smile: "I'm sorry, don't be my child in the next life, I'm a very selfish person, I can't protect you." β
β¦β¦
Ludwig only felt that his body was light, as if he was being dragged up by some force, and this powerful force enveloped him in the next second, constantly compressing and deforming, and then he only felt as if he had been thrown into a strange tunnel, and after sliding rapidly in the tunnel, he fell to the metal floor.
When he opened his eyes, his stomach was tumbling and his stomach was sour. He hadn't eaten in a long time, just lying on the ground retching for a while.
Two soldiers in military uniforms rushed over and restrained him.
"Let him go!" With a thud, the soldier let go of Ludwig.
Fu Chenhui walked over quickly, helped Ludwig up, and looked at him in disbelief.
"You...... How would you? β
As soon as he saw Fu Chenhui, Ludwig was also very surprised, he looked around, this was also the main control cabin of a spaceship, but it was definitely not the one he had been with Shen Ling before. He suddenly understood something, pushed Fu Chenhui away and rushed to the operating table.
He quickly adjusted the view of the spaceship, wanting to search for the spaceship he and Shen Ling had been on before.
Suddenly, the Paladin trembled violently.
Ludwig's heart shuddered, and at the same time, he also saw the closest spaceship to them on the big screen in front of him.
The spaceship exploded.
