2615 A Massive Tragedy (2/2)
”My Lord, we do not want to die.”
”Don't worry; I promise that you will all survive. However, I need to you to continue acting in a state of panic,” Gu Xijiu directed an audio message to the three of them.
They looked at one another in confusion but decided to do as told and cried out even louder.
As for the dozens of armed men who had just escaped death, they were relieved to be saved and watched Gu Xijiu and the mermaids through the surveillance camera. From their point of view, they saw that Gu Xijiu tried to tear the net apart forcibly, but ended up being electrified. Then, she sat quietly with her eyes closed.
The soldiers were no longer as distressed as before. ”Looks like the people's supreme leader is afraid of electricity,” one of the men said contemptuously.
”Of course! No one can possibly survive the electrical current. Supreme leader? She is nothing but a woman from the future, who has become famous with a little Kung Fu tricks. If I came any earlier, I would have become their Lord.”
”All right, let's get her in. After all, she is our strongest opponent here. If we send her to our leader, it will be yet another achievement!”
They continued the heated discussion and came to the same conclusion that she was worth keeping. In order to prevent Gu Xijiu from running away, they decided to keep the net on her as they moved her into one of the cabins.
One of the men went to the control center and pressed a button. Streaks of light flashed by, displaying the projection of an officer in the middle of a room.
His shoulder was full of silver badges indicating his status and level of achievement. Looking tall and strong, his stern appearance made him look like an authoritative figure. ”Little bastards, what is the matter? How many mermaids have you got?”
”Report, sir. We have got three mermaids and are now on the way to deliver them. This time, we will bring someone else with us. The mermaids call her their Lord.”
