He's a Monster!

The faint noise of the artillery fire grew ive hi buff and nervously observed the distant battlefield

After watching it for a while, he frowned Unexpectedly, Annihilation's shi+p only defended against Nine Eagles' attack It fired back, but notto stop Nine Eagles fro the battlefield to a lie—neither Lian Jun nor Gua One were the type to shy away froht, not to mention the current tactic would only lead to Annihilation being gradually suppressed Realization only hit after he caught sight of soet off the side of the shi+p hidden froles

”Did Lian Jun notice I' to keep the offensive to ato look for me?” shi+ Jun was shocked He patted down his body, searching for the satellite phone It was in one of his pockets, carefully bundled in several layers of plastic wrap After confirh and the phone worked properly, he called Lian Jun

The call connected quickly Lian Jun immediately asked, {shi+ Jin? Where are you? Don't worry, I'll send soht away} He spoke much faster than usual, and his voice was anxious

Sure enough!

shi+ Jin facepalmed ”No, don't,” he said hurriedly ”The situation is too chaotic, they will be in danger I' shi+—he's still alive Right now, I'm on lifeboat 03, you can check its position to see where exactly, but don't send people—”

He broke off halfway because, aided by the sight-enhancing buff, he noticed several shi+ps appear in the distance and head straight for the battlefield, their intentions obviously not good A certain thought flashed through his mind, and he snapped his head to look behind hi froently, ”shi+ps are coet surrounded! I can find a way to avoid the that he was okay and still so energetic, Lian Jun's voice calmed: {Don't worry about ency supplies on the lifeboat: a first aid kit, water, and rations I'll get the shi+ps away from this area—you should move a little further away and keep your head down I'll pick you up after I've dealt with them}

This tioing to deal with this number? Just withdraw for now and wait until it's safe before you come pick me up I can easily stay on the lifeboat for some time”

{Don't worry, I have help} After this reassurance, Lian Jun fell silent for a while Then he said, voice dropping down, {shi+ Jin, you have to be okay… I beg you, wait for me}

shi+ Jin froze Suddenly, his heart ached, and for sohtened ”Lian Jun, I troubled you again, didn't I…” He whispered

{No, it'syou back} Lian Jun's tone returned to nor up Gua Nine has already found your position; I'll lead you somewhere safe, just followfrom south-west and south-south—head east, I'll try to move the battlefield west The watch you wear has a compass, so it's fine even if you can't tell the direction}

As shi+ Jin listened, he slowly calress bar, stuck at 950, and hesitated, but obediently started the lifeboat's engine ”Will somebody really help you? I'm fine here, you don't have to worry about me You must stay safe, Lian Jun, you have to pick me up personally”

This tiht}

On the bridge, Lian Jun lowered the phone As he looked at the little green dot labeled '03' slowly edging eastward, a bit of tension drained out of him Then, his eyes shi+fted to the red dots rapidly approaching the center of the radar, and his gaze turned cold ”Gua One, contact Phantom,” he commanded

Gua One also heard Lian Jun and shi+ Jin's conversation and had regained his usual composure At the order, he immediately dialed a number on his phone

”Gua Five, head west Let the authorities knohere we should rendezvous,” Lian Jun continued

Not wasting tie course then atteh the radio

Gua Three noticed there was no , he asked, ”Should we send a helicopter to pick up shi+ Jin, Jun-shao?”

Lian Jun raised his hand in a negative gesture ”Not yet A helicopter ht attract the enemy's attention, and we definitely don't want them to find shi+ Jin Let's draw them away first”

Gua Three nodded to show he understood

Everything was going sly calaze reen dot slowlymoment, he wiped his face with both hands

shi+ Jin is truly… Really, every ti thatshi+, he actually ht it was hopeless…

He glanced at Gua One The otherthe call with Phantoed looks of complex emotion then tacitly looked away

shi+ Jin heard the orders Lian Jun gave, and his heart gradually settled Phanto planned for Nine Eaglestrouble If so, Annihilation's er

His attention no longer occupied by worry, he finally noticed Long shi+ hadn'ttime He leaned closer and saw the man had lost consciousness There was a sickly flush to his cheeks Alar froiving Long shi+ a few sips of water, he dressed the knife wound

”You can't die, at least not before we get the poison formula from you,” he muttered His voice was probably a bit too loud, because Lian Jun pro?}

shi+ Jin turned towards the phone and replied, ”Long shi+'s condition is a bit bad, I' care of his wounds”

{Never ain, almost indifferent {Don't waste supplies on him, leave them for yourself—your life is e itch in his heart, and he paused for a second He hu shi+

Lian Jun could uessed the teenager wouldn't listen to him He fell quiet for a moment, then said, {Leave at least half for yourself I'll co theHis heart grearhed ”I know I believe you will coroarm too He repeated, {I will definitely pick you up, wait for ain, and couldn't stop hiht was dark and chilly, yet the lifeboat seemed flooded with sunshi+ne

Lian Jun listened to the vague hu frolanced at the radar, esti the distance between all the shi+ps and shi+ Jin, then blocked the phone speaker with his paluns We're far enough, no need to hold back anymore”

Gua One and the others perked up instantly They got to their feet, rubbing their hands in anticipation—they had been passively taking a beating for too long and couldn't wait to fight back

Cracking his knuckles, Gua Two sneered, ”da with us—do they really think we have so little firepower on board? Let's see just how fast I can turn your shi+p into scrap ress Bar is translated by Betwixted Translations The site you're reading this chapter on stole our translation

Zuo Yang leaned against the bridge atching the ”desperately fleeing” Annihilation's shi+p with satisfaction It was theeyes on He ordered lazily, ”Continue to harass them and let the other shi+ps circle ahead to block the to let hiame”

His subordinates confir pattern for the next round of attacks, the radar, silent until now, let out a piercing screech Then ca, and the shi+p rocked violently

Zuo Yang clung to thecaseht Frowning, he asked, ”What was that?”

A cold sweat broke out on the captain's forehead He pointed to the Annihilation shi+p ahead, which suddenly sported a er number of muzzle barrels, and stammered out, ”Bo-Boss, that's not a civilian vessel at all—it's the sa's expression changed Just as he was about to go over and take a closer look, the first officer on the other side of the bridge shouted, voice filled with panic, ”Boss, Phanto towards us at full speed! It, it looks like it wants to crash into us!”

Zuo Yang's face distorted He waited until the shi+p stabilized and walked to the first officer's side It really was Phantoht like a fucking ghost shi+p Realizing as happening, he couldn't help but snarl, ”fuck, we fell for Lian Jun's ploy! Old Ghost, that son of a bitch, is actually working with Annihilation! Fire at Phantoet close! Order the other shi+ps to coe becas There wasn't even a trace left of the s shi+'s condition ihtly after his wounds were dressed shi+ Jin fed his froainst the lifeboat's built-in storage box, pulling at his da has it been?” He asked in his mind For some reason, he felt short of breath

”No wonder I' bad It's okay, I can still stand it,” shi+ Jin soothed He picked up the still connected satellite phone, listened to Lian Jun's interlanced at the other ht was lifted froles away, and the govern to be fine They'll be safe soon”

”Don't be scared, I will be fine” shi+ Jin's voice was getting hoarse He spoke as if the buff's aftereffects were nothing but found a bottle of water and drank a little It really e of his voice te to normal, he leaned closer to the satellite phone and called Lian Jun's na him what happened

”I'm a little tired, I want to take a nap I should be safe here, so concentrate on your side, don't worry about me If you call and I don't answer, don't be anxious, it , but I need to rest—I spent a lot of energy fishi+ng out Long shi+, I'm worn out”

Lian Jun frowned He'd rather shi+ Jin didn't fall asleep at sea, but the teenager's words distressed hi it over, he said, {Then rest I will, however, call for you regularly so you don't fall into too-deep a sleep Reive him a chance to hurt you}

”Okay,” shi+ Jin replied, beginning to feel breathless again He hurriedly drank ainst the storage box, trying to stifle his gasps
