Chapter 1037 - The Attack of the Drones (2/2)
He extended an ar its surface It wasn't a real crystal Its density and hardness was greater than any known crystal Judging fro a real skull But whose skull was this? What was it made of? The questions that surfaced in his mind seemed to have no answer
There was silence as Xia Lei pondered After a while, he brought out his satellite phone and dialled for Liang Siyao
Doot… Doot… Doot… Doot…
The line was connected instantly
“Hey, Siyao It’s me…”
“Inhale… Exhale… Inhale… Exhale…” The voice ringing through the device eird
A lump manifested in Xia Lei’s throat “You?! What the hell do you want?!”
This voice was no stranger to his ears, it sounded too similar to the black-robed e The only thing Xia Lei could think of right noas that the black-robedSiyao and was about to threaten hi continued, no other word muttered
“Come on, speak! What the fuck do you want?! Come at me!” roared Xia Lei
“Inhale… Exhale… Inhale…” Nothing changed
Xia Lei furrowed his brows, no longer atte his ear close to the device
“Inhale… Exhale… Inhale…” The eerie noise continued with no signs of stopping
Xia Lei took a glance at the ly, this had gone on for a fullSiyao was not kidnapped by the black-robed h the satellite phone The satellite phone was merely interrupted by the crystal skull!
The intention behind e the crystal skull’s interruption And yet, the results still oosebumps from its eeriness
Xia Leiit further While they were aboard the same shi+p, it was clear that he could not reach her as well
“That’s weird In George’s video, he was able to call Professor Mark while standing on the hill Their signal was not interrupted then, so why now?” Xia Lei scratched his scalp “Could it be that Professor Mark was standing outside the cave? But that’s not right Qian Jun y and the human mind How is it possible to escape its influence just by standing outside the cave? Unless… unless it possesses intelligence Does it really have a soul?”
To think that the crystal skull had the intelligence of a soul was insanity But that was the only assumption Xia Lei could manifest to explain how Mark and Professor Mark were able to contact each other via phone Honestly, this thought was baffling to Xia Lei himself as well
“Boss! Bad news!” Sa’im’s screams echoed down the corridor outside his cabin, accompanied by his rushed footsteps
Xia Lei hastily stuffed the crystal skull into his bag,on?”
“The Israelis found us!” Sa’i above us and it has missiles!”
Xia Lei could not even hold his breath any longer He ran for the deck
True as it was, a Heron 2 drone was zoo towards the real soon Xia Lei could clearly make out the air-to-surface ular missiles It was the latest God of War air-to-surface missile developed by the Israeli Military Industry Corporation But of course, theon the Heron 2 drone were of corahter jets The drone’s approxiraer God of War ht drone version would be able to sink this shi+p no problereat if they had a shoulder-fired air defence missile launcher now Sadly, the nature of this operation had rendered neither Xia Lei nor thealong one
With a blink of the eye, the Heron 2 drone had reached the top of the cargo shi+p at about two thousandme Anjum Khan’s sniper rifle I’ll destroy it with the XL2500!”
“Ah, only you’d be able to do that” Sa’im threw a remark and dashed for the cabins
But before Sa’i Heron 2 abruptly fired a missile!
With the power it packed, it could easily tear a crater in the shi+p’s body Within an hour of its blast, the cargo shi+p would breathe its last breath before sinking into the depths of the ocean forever If the missile had landed on the wheelhouse instead, the crew can bid the electronic instruments and locomotive equipment farewell Either way, the result was the saht side of the hull!” Xia Lei quickly deduced where the missile would land and quickly dashed to the left of the deck, throwing himself forward onto the harsh floor
Sa’i missile fall from the skies above as his stomach lurched with anxiety
