Chapter 8: Assault
"The five ghosts are fierce, the incorruptible star, which belongs to the fire, and is the star of the great evil."
In the cabin, Feng Shui master Zhou Yuanjian's face was as black as the compass in his hand, muttering to himself.
The lady surnamed Chen was the calmest one, she just coaxed the crying baby in her arms and whispered:
"Nothing that has anything to do with that kid is going to end well."
……
"Call failed! The other party does not respond! There are still 0.3 nautical miles to go of Moniach! The first mate reported anxiously.
"Mr. Zhou, what is your suggestion?" Professor Mance first looked at Zhou Zhenlong on the side before giving the order to act, after all, this is not the territory of the secret party.
"Continue to act," Zhou Zhenlong's voice was calm, "If there is no response, it means that the other party is not the Yangtze River Water Police, but other forces." ”
"Other forces? This is the ...... territory you manage" Mance frowned, before taking over the command of this operation, the headmaster had told him not to get too involved in "orthodox" things except for plans, the water of China's half-breed forces is quite deep, even if it is for the revenge of the dragon slaying almost crazy Ange, he does not want to be wet.
"You are not the only ones who can enter through the legal process, and we don't have that much energy to block the entrance for others to enter," Zhou Zhenlong's expression was calm, and he could clearly detect the iron and blood of the soldier on his body, "In this case, you will directly default to the enemy and be prepared for self-defense." ”
"The Moniach's armament was completely dismantled in order to pass the inspection, except for a few modified guns, only one torpedo at the bottom of the box remained. And ......" Professor Mance paused in his words and glanced at the figure standing outside the window in the storm, "the last insurance." ”
Zhou Zhenlong wanted to say something more, but then his brows furrowed - the violent demon wind outside the ship sent a heart-rending shrill cry, like a steel knife scraping through the eardrums.
……
Several speedboats were speeding down the rushing river and the wind and rain towards the Moniach, but there was no one on board—these boats were merely bait for pilotage.
Silver serpent lightning streaked across the sky, a miserable white light illuminating the dense shadows behind the speedboats, their backs exposed on the water, following the white splash behind the speedboats, like a swarm of crocodiles ready to hunt their prey.
The baby's mournful cry clearly echoed in the ears of Lu Mingfei and Li Yinxing.
"What are those?"
"Alien."
Lu Mingfei's answer was simple and neat, Jingyue's alchemy realm had been activated, and the jade-colored energy condensed into a broad sword body, shining with a beautiful light like stars in the dark wind and rain.
Immediately after, a hazy golden flame ignited from the sword's body.
Lu Mingfei had heard such a cry, and he had also killed anything that made such a sound.
"Okay, Xianxia Tomb Raider has jumped to Alien vs. Predator, right...... But then again, it's too low for Deadpool to ask the speedboat to lead the way, they might as well put some explosives on the speedboat and crash into it, so that it won't be more clean! ”
Li Yinxing was still complaining, and he didn't have any panic because of the appearance of these Deadpools.
The Han Bafang Bronze Sword in her hand had already been pulled out of the wooden sheath, and as she suddenly erupted with a violent momentum like a mountain tide and a tsunami, a pair of golden pupils were blazing and boiling.
Someone else beside her might gasp and sigh, "This son is terrifying", it is indeed extraordinary to be a top bloodline person who can be sent by orthodoxy to benchmark against the S-class in Kassel, but Lu Mingfei just nodded slightly, as if he recognized that Li Yinxing had the strength to fight side by side with him.
The small speedboats collided with the Moniach from all sides, but as a warship modified in Kassel, these civilian speedboats could not easily break through the defenses, and the shaking caused was even a little higher than the turbulent river.
The raging wind filled the pungent smell of blood, and the waves of the Yangtze River slapped the dark shadows that followed the speedboat on the hull of the Moniach, which climbed and jumped with sharp claws and tried to get to the deck, but as soon as it appeared, its hideous face was split in the middle by the jade-colored sword, and the black blood splashed mixed with the rain and fell into the river below.
As for whether it would cause pollution - Lu Mingfei looked at the body surface of these aliens while swinging his sword, and did not find obvious chaotic mutation characteristics.
"Enemy attack! All the people on deck are back in the cabin! Selma, warn Ye Sheng and Aki to be careful of their attacks! ”
Professor Mance yelled, and the loudspeaker broadcast his voice to the crew on deck who were still disassembling and overhauling the underwater drilling rig.
"What are they fighting against?"
From Mance's point of view, he could only see Lu Mingfei swinging the oversized green lightsaber in his hand at the speed of the darkness outside the ship's railing, something was slashed one after another, splashing blood, and he couldn't see who the enemy was or what it was.
"Ship...... Captain...... Look at the back......"
The first mate pointed to the porthole at the rear, and he couldn't even speak in full because of his extreme fright.
Professor Mance looked in the direction of the first mate's finger, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
Swift black shadows climbed onto the deck from behind the Moniach, revealing their hideous form under the searchlight.
They were more than two meters tall, their blue-black scales tightly wrapped around their thin and rugged bones, and their long arms disproportionate to their physique had sharp claws, reflecting a terrifying cold light in the wind and rain. Their faces protrude most prominently, with red-gold eyeballs that protrude like brass bells, and they are turning back and forth, searching for fresh prey.
Soon, they spotted the staff who were still on the deck and were distracted, and immediately rushed towards them like hungry wolves.
At this point, Professor Mance had just pulled out an L115A3 sniper rifle from the compartment of the cabin, and he didn't even have time to reload the weapon.
As a massacre was inevitable, there seemed to be an electric arc flickering in the wind and rain, and the edges of the environment began to blur and distort, as if the illusion of reality had been broken through by something.
Even the Deadpools stopped pounced, raised their hideous and ugly heads, and the burst out of their red golden eyes reflected a pair of beautiful and bewildering golden eyes.
The thunder has flashed, and the sword has been slashed!
Li Yinxing moved, but no one could see the figure of this beautiful girl clearly, only the clear silver-white electric light that was visible to the naked eye behind her.
The flash of lightning pierced through each of Deadpool's bodies on the deck, as if someone had pressed the button to stop time, stringing together the ugly, filthy fish with white threads.
When she reappeared, she turned her back to the Deadpools who had been pierced by silver lightning, and the surface of the Han Bafang bronze sword in her hand was beating like a silver snake, and her gait was vigorous and elegant:
"What lines should I end with......"
"There it is! Victory—"
The girl turned around briskly, and the bronze long sword cut a sharp edge, "Ascend the Dragon Sword!" ”
As her words fell, all the bodies of Deadpool that had been pierced by the lightning suddenly shattered, and the highly toxic blood was instantly vaporized into mist by the electric light, not even hurting the people who were already scared silly when they were slumped on the deck.
"That's ...... What words ......?"
Aside from the stunned crowd around him, Professor Mance had a parched mouth and even stopped reloading his magazine.
Zhou Zhenlong's eyes were shocked and a little confused, but he quickly regained his previous calm look:
"What is the status of the two who went on the dive now? We must hurry up and explore the location and entrance to the White Emperor City. ”
"Now that this is the case, how can we continue to explore?! I need to get my students back on the boat! Professor Mance retorted vehemently.
He had envisioned a special situation in which the Moniach would be attacked, but the worst would be an illegal attack by armed mercenaries, who would have thought that the enemy would be this kind of dragonized Deadpool that is only recorded in the top secret files of the Executive Department...... And it's a dozen!
Now the Moniach, with Lu Mingfei and the orthodox girl in charge, is the safest place, "Who knows how many of these completely dragonized Deadpools will be under the water!" I won't let my students die in vain! ”
"The enemy sent these Deadpools to hinder our exploration of White Emperor City, and we are playing into their hands by retreating now," Zhou Zhenlong said in a deep voice, "If we let the enemy find and enter White Emperor City first, our losses will be incalculable." ”
"......" Professor Mance's expression changed rapidly, and he seemed to be making difficult choices and struggles in his heart, "I must ask the Rector for instructions." ”
"Professor! Ye Sheng and Aki's signal was broken...... The traction line and the communication line seem to have been ruined by those monsters......"
Thelma reported with a pale face.
……
"Fewer bells and whistles and words will be more efficient."
Lu Mingfei shifted his footsteps sideways, avoiding the sharp claws and blade-like tails that quickly attacked the two Deadpools, and the Pure Moon Greatsword left a gorgeous emerald glow in the air, splitting their heads off.
He commented on Li Yinxing's purification attack, and had to admit that this girl who spoke in a style very similar to the Fingal brothers did have strong combat power, and the unknown spirit of speech, the killing technique that matched the high speed and sword skills of the moment was quite efficient.
If it weren't for the fact that the other party was a woman, he really wanted to recruit the other party into the warband - there was no contempt or discrimination in it, but the Astarte warband had never recruited female fighters except for minions.
"Cut, you think I haven't seen your profile and video?" Li Yinxing pursed his lips, and the bronze sword drove the leaping thunder through Deadpool's body one after another, "Don't you keep shouting when you fight, what's for the emperor!" 'You're all going to be angry with the Emperor's wrath or something'...... Are you embarrassed to tell me this with the score of your predecessors? ”
"I'm a declaration of loyalty to the Emperor and a battle cry, unlike you." Lu Mingfei responded calmly.
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared in an instant, the rain was confused by the air current, reflecting the remaining emerald light and shadow in the air, and nearly a dozen Deadpools who had attacked from the other side of the bow suddenly stopped in place, and the hideous heads on their necks disappeared.
Soon, under the capture of the transcendent vision of the golden pupil, Lu Mingfei realized that something was wrong - a considerable part of Deadpool did not choose to board the Moniach, but dived underwater.
"Those two children ......"
Lu Mingfei didn't think much about it, and immediately jumped down from the railing on the side of the boat and plunged headlong into the dark and bottomless river.
"Hey! Even if you die socially, you don't need to think about suicide! Li Yinxing shouted, "And I can't handle so many Deadpools if you run away!" ”
