Chapter 323 Danger and Splitting Up (2/2)
”I only moved to the first class yesterday, and the spaceship never made a stop,” Cesoly said hastily. ”He is definitely still on the ship.”
Serpent Braid grabbed the head of a passenger and yelled, ”Where's that Godoran?”
”The—they broke through the door earlier and ran out,” the person answered hastily.
Bang!
His head was crushed. Blood splattered onto the faces of the other hostages, and they screamed.
Serpent Braid shook his hands and said angrily, ”They actually ran away. Go, find them now…”
Before he could finish his sentence, the voice of the other group of scavengers came out of the communicator. ”Request for backup! We met a strong Super on the way to the main control room and were stopped. Please help!”
”Boss, the target is in this spaceship and won't be able to run away,” Cesoly said hurriedly. ”We should take over the main control room first. As long as we have control of the spaceship, we will find the target sooner or later.”
Serpent Braid nodded and said, ”Then let's go to the main control room. Cesoly, you stay here with some people to keep these passengers under control.”
”No problem.”
The economy class passengers were cuffed and thrown aside. With the scavengers aiming their firearms at them, they were shivering and did not dare move.
Serpent Braid took some people and headed toward the main control room. The spaceship was rather large, so it took some time for them to finally arrive at the scene. Corpses of the scavengers were scattered all over the floor. Serpent Braid saw a flash and a green burst of light like a fountain at the end of the path. About a dozen scavengers were thrown against the wall. Their bodies were twisted, and their bones were broken.
The Green Knight stood at the path to the main control room with a cold face. Green streams of light covered his body like ripples. He was actually an Esper, able to control a special green energy that could be melded into various shapes, which could be used to attack and defend. It was considered a variant of force field type Esper power, and this was also how he had gotten his name.
”Look, Green Knight Lerden, a high-level mercenary, a remnant of the Sunil race.” Desire appeared in Serpent Braid's eyes. He gripped his war hammer, walked toward him with excitement, and said, ”Finally, someone strong.”
Lerden's eyes were filled with coldness. He was a mercenary, so the reason he was helping was mostly because of the reward promised by the captain. Otherwise, he would have gone to find the escape ship long ago.
His left mechanical arm folded and transformed, showing a black cannon muzzle. Laser beams shot out at an extremely high speed, penetrating through the chest of a few scavengers, leaving a burnt hole behind.
The other scavengers looked for cover hastily and fought back. Serpent Braid was fearless. He charged forward with large strides—the lasers only left burn marks on his skin. He spun the war hammer covered in thick gray flames and bashed straight down on The Green Knight's head!
Lerden raised his left arm. The green light formed a burning light shield and blocked his head.
Bang!
The impact rippled through the light shield, and green light splashed all over the place.
…
Ten minutes earlier…
In the Short Horn Star warehouse at the tail of the ship, far away from the battlefield, the sound of the battlefield could barely be heard. Han Xiao and the others were flipping through the warehouse.
”Found it.” Han Xiao finally found his box. He opened the password lock, and white and cold smoke billowed out. In it was the Amphiptere.
He quickly equipped it, activated the system, and was soon surrounded by the suit's glow. Light from the energy core was shining bright, and blue energy flew through the pipes like blood.
With the equipment in hand, Han Xiao felt relieved. He brought along all of his weapons and suddenly remembered Kerlodd's requests. After some consideration, he held onto 'Wrath of Garrett' and threw all of the remaining small golden spheres back to Kerlodd.
”Your equipment, take it. Don't be a burden.”
Kerlodd was stunned for a moment. He grabbed the small spheres and said solemnly, ”I will fight alongside you.”
Only half of the players were online, so it was only twenty or players who got their weapons back.
”We will split up into teams now,” Han Xiao said in a low voice.
As according to the plan, they divided into three groups. Frenzied Sword, Fried Eggplants with Fish, and another guild would be going to find and take control of the emergency escape ship. Temple of God and Dynasty would go to cut off the scavengers' retreat route and stop the enemies from entering from the entrance they broke through. Kerlodd and the rest of the players would be following him to the main control room, which was the most important task.
At this moment, the announcement of the captain's request for help came from the broadcast system.
Han Xiao's eyes sparkled after he heard it.
Monetary reward…
