Chapter 181 Attack
Chapter 181 Attack
"Good heavens, it's all densely packed shipping containers, you can't see the end of it!"
"This isn't a place for passengers to disembark; this is a cargo unloading dock! Who directed us here?"
Looking around on March 7th, he uttered a puzzled sigh.
Just now, they landed at Starship Harbor, but this place doesn't feel like a place fit for human habitation at all.
The surrounding area was full of containers. Despite being a port with such a large throughput, there wasn't a soul in sight. It was quite eerie.
"Could it be... an electronic ghost?" Xing rested his chin on his hand, deep in thought.
"Hey, stop talking! In horror movies, this person is definitely the mastermind." March 7 was immediately frightened.
The slime in March 7's arms immediately became alert, and the leaves on its head followed its gaze with vigilance.
"Uncle Yang, what should we do?" March 7th turned to Walter Yang for help.
Walter Young thought for a while.
"Start by finding the person who opened the Jade Gate. If this person has ulterior motives, it will save us some trouble; if they are a staff member, we will ask them what happened."
"What if we can't beat them?" Xing worried.
“I don’t blame you for saying such silly things. You don’t know Uncle Yang’s abilities yet,” March 7 said confidently.
"Huh? Isn't Uncle Yang a hardcore anime otaku and mecha fanatic?" Xing looked at Welt Yang curiously.
"Ahem... I'm not a shut-in." Walter Young coughed awkwardly a few times.
It's obvious that every time he goes on a pioneering expedition, it feels like he's going out into the world.
"Oh, so you're a mecha enthusiast." Xing nodded.
Walter Young was immediately embarrassed.
In short, remain vigilant.
“Besides, even if I can’t beat her, there’s always Miss Eve’s clone.” Walter Young turned his gaze to Slime Eve.
This clone may look cute and innocent, but it is actually incredibly powerful.
It might even have the power of an entire envoy.
“That makes sense.” March 7th nodded, holding Slime Eve.
Hey, I have to say, this Eve clone feels really nice to the touch, it's just like the cushion in her room.
The group continued to explore and move forward, when March 7th suddenly discovered something.
"Uncle Yang, there seems to be a person on the ground ahead."
Walter Yang immediately looked over and saw a soldier in armor lying on the ground, his weapons scattered to the side, seemingly wounded.
"They appear to be soldiers from the celestial vessel."
Upon seeing the armor on his body, Walter Young quickly guessed his identity.
"Huh? Why is he sleeping here?" Xing asked, puzzled.
I remember back in Belleburg, there was this guy who liked to sleep on the floor.
"It's obvious he's injured," March 7 said speechlessly.
"But Belloberg..."
Before Xing could finish speaking, Walter raised his hand to interrupt her.
"Save lives first."
Walter Young had already reached the soldiers' side.
"Ahead..." The soldier was still conscious and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.
"You're badly injured, don't speak."
After examining the area, Walter Young's expression turned grim.
His injuries were too severe, and his condition was not optimistic.
"For Xiao Sanyue, first use six-phase ice to stop the bleeding of the wound. Be careful not to frostbite him."
"Okay, Uncle Yang." March 7th immediately rushed over.
She put Eve down from her arms and immediately used the frost power within her to freeze the soldier's wounds.
Just then, a figure suddenly darted out from behind.
"Watch out!" Walter Young frowned immediately.
He reacted quickly, immediately raising his cane to defend himself.
There was a loud "bang".
A large sword slammed heavily onto the cane, the force of which made Walter Young struggle.
"What?" March 7 was startled and immediately took a few steps back, stopping what he was doing.
Walter Young's face turned ashen. He looked up at the attackers and was immediately surprised.
The attackers were dressed like the wounded soldier, except that his entire body was covered in thorns and tree roots.
"What exactly is going on?" Walter Young asked, puzzled.
Judging from this armor, shouldn't these be soldiers from the Celestial Ship?
Suddenly, the soldier changed his stance, swinging his broadsword to attack Walter Young's lower body.
Walter Young swiftly raised his cane and thrust it toward the soldier's head.
Although this person was very likely a soldier of Luofu, since it had launched an attack, Walter Yang was not going to hold back.
With a "plop" sound.
Walter Young's cane struck the soldier's head before his broadsword could strike.
The soldier immediately stopped moving, his whole body slumped down, and his broadsword fell to the ground with a dull metallic sound.
"Uncle Yang, what exactly happened?" March 7th asked worriedly.
Walter Young pulled out his cane and shook his head.
"I don't know. Judging from his attire, he's clearly a soldier from Luofu, but I don't know why he attacked us?"
"Could it be that we logged in illegally?" Xing asked, puzzled.
“No, we were guided here,” March 7th said after thinking for a moment.
"And even if we logged in illegally, it doesn't mean they would immediately try to kill us, does it?"
“That’s true.” Xing nodded.
Walter Young was also deep in thought; sure enough, something extraordinary had happened on the celestial ship.
Slime Eve jumped onto the container, seemingly observing something.
As everyone was thinking and discussing, the soldier who had been dead behind Walter Yang suddenly stood up silently.
The wound that Walter Yang had just stabbed had been replaced and filled by a tree root.
Its arms suddenly extended sharp blades, and it charged swiftly toward Walter Yang.
"Oh no, Uncle Yang!!"
Xing was the first to react, pulling out a stick and quickly throwing it out.
With a "bang".
The rapidly spinning rod swept past Walter Young's head, striking the soldier precisely and knocking his head off.
Walter Young reacted quickly, crouching down and swinging his cane horizontally.
The headless soldier was knocked to the ground once again.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"What happened? He was clearly dead just now?" Walter approached the headless soldier, examining him with a puzzled look.
When I pierced its skull, I could no longer sense any sign of life. How did it come back to life?
March 7th approached and looked at the headless soldier; his stomach churned instantly.
Although I've been on many pioneering expeditions, I still felt nauseous seeing this scene without being mentally prepared.
However, Xing didn't seem to feel anything and had already crouched down to search the headless soldier's body.
"Strange, why is its armor filled with tree roots and branches?"
Xing picked up the headless soldier's helmet and found it was full of plants.
"what?"
Walter Young immediately stripped the headless soldier of all his armor.
There was no flesh and blood left inside the armor; only a skin that had been replaced by plants and tree roots.
"What exactly is going on?" Walter Young was filled with doubt.
This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
Looking at the armor scattered all over the ground, he suddenly realized something.
"not good!"
He quickly turned around and, sure enough, the soldier who had been injured and lying on the ground had disappeared.
A bad feeling suddenly rose in Walter Young's heart.
The next second, a soldier whose arms transformed into sharp blades descended from the sky, the gleaming blades less than five centimeters from March 7's hair.
Just then, several blades suddenly struck, instantly knocking the soldiers in the air away and pinning them firmly to the containers beside them.
Walter Young quickly looked over and saw Slime Eve waving her blades at someone on a container in the distance.
Seeing this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
We really can't let our guard down at all. Luckily, we still have Miss Eve.
"Phew, that scared me to death..." March 7, who had survived the ordeal, collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.
Why is this soldier attacking us too?
“Little March, haven’t you figured it out yet?” Walter Yang walked up to the soldier who was anchored to the container.
He ripped off the soldier's helmet, revealing his skull, which had been ripped open by tree roots.
"They are no longer human, but monsters."
