Chapter 191: Pirate Por (2/2)
Suddenly, it became noisy outside as dozens of fierce looking people rushed in. One viciously roared, “Where’s the doctor? Hurry! Our boss is almost dead!”
They then began to disperse the surrounding crowd as they carried a big man covered in blood forwards.
Lu Yin frowned, as these people all strongly reeked of blood.
Cough cough.
Zhuo Daynight suddenly coughed, and Lu Yin comfortingly patted her back. At the same time, the gangsters arrived before Lu Yin and tried to push him aside. But Lu Yin’s eyes turned cold, and he raised a single hand. Crack! One of the gangsters’ arm was twisted, and he was tossed a dozen meters away as the rest simultaneously looked at Lu Yin.
“Get lost,” Lu Yin warned.
They grew furious and attacked together, completely tossing aside any notion of negotiating.
The hospital staff quickly took shelter, as did the patients.
Lu Yin was enraged, and his palm turned into a claw. It was accompanied by a beast’s howl that resonated through the void. His Skybeast Claw killed a dozen of the attackers while the rest were knocked onto their backs, where they stared at Lu Yin in shock.
At this point, the troops had arrived. It was the private army of the Leo clan. They surrounded everyone and said, “The use of force is forbidden in the hospital. Everyone raise your hands.”
Amidst the surrounding chaos, Lu Yin frowned and looked around. He wanted to find a doctor since Zhuo Daynight had experienced some jostling just now, and her injuries seemed to be worsening slightly.
Suddenly, the large man drenched in blood stood up, retrieved a fist-sized metal ball from beneath his clothes, and smashed it against the ground. Lu Yin’s hair instantly stood up and he instinctively evaded with Flash. There was an intense explosion, and air currents ripped the atmosphere apart and directly shattered the lights in the area. The violent blast sent all of the troops flying away, killing quite a number of them in the process.
Lu Yin used Flash consecutively and rushed away with extreme speed before finally breaking through the roof with a palm strike and escaping. He had just reached the surface when the earth shook, and then caved in, burying everyone in the hospital alive.
Lu Yin stared at this scene in horror. What just happened?!
Smoke filled the air as alarms rang out in all directions.
Lu Yin used Flash again and fled with Zhuo Daynight.
Cough cough.
Zhuo Daynight opened her eyes, and feebly spoke out, “Do not… get shot.”
“You’re awake,” Lu Yin replied in a muffled voice. He didn’t know what was going on in all the chaos.
Zhuo Daynight feebly said, “That… was… the great powers’… contest.”
“Contest?” He was puzzled.
“Some… great powers… take… extreme measures… to gain… great profits.” Zhuo Daynight had to push out each word with great effort. When she was done, she fell unconscious again.
Lu Yin breathed in deeply and stood in a dark corner as he stared in the hospital’s direction. The great powers’ contest? What about all those soldiers? So those doctors and patients were all pawns in their game!
Truthfully, Lu Yin had long since admitted to himself that he was no saint. The deaths of others did not concern him too much, and he was not afraid to adopt some extreme measures for his own personal gain. But this was his first time viewing such a bloody scene from such a direct and inferior perspective. It was even more drastic than what had happened on Earth.
If he had been any weaker, then he would have been sacrificed just like the rest of them. Strength was a good thing, and it influenced everything else in one’s life.
He glanced at Zhuo Daynight, whose condition was even more feeble than before, and felt a pressing need to find a new hospital.
The heavens seemed to be playing a joke on Lu Yin as dozens of explosions rang out that day on the pirate port planet. They all targeted hospitals, which threw the port into an unprecedented panic. The Leo clan even dispatched Explorers to quell the attackers, but that wasn’t enough to calm the terror.
How could the pirate port attract anyone without any hospitals? This was the pirate port, the dark underbelly where people were injured and where blood was shed everyday.
The first step was the hospitals, and the second would naturally be the businesses focused on food, clothing, or accommodations.
Lu Yin reconsidered his options as he did not want to continue running into areas targeted by the terrorists, but Zhuo Daynight’s condition required immediate attention.
Suddenly, Lu Yin thought of Coco. It was rumored that the members of Windrift Hall frequently wandered the universe. If there were any Windrift Hall members in the nearby weaves, he could take Zhuo Daynight to them for treatment. From what he had heard, they did not even require advanced medical facilities to treat someone, so after a moment’s thought, Lu Yin contacted Coco.
Outsiders could not use their gadgets to contact students who were within the Astral Combat Academy, but other students were allowed to do so.
Coco didn’t pick up. It was possible that she was in the trial zones. Lu Yin tried Zora next, but it was the same result. The duo were in the same team, and they were always together. Lu Yin had no choice but to wait.
