Chapter 8: Mortal Enemy

Chapter 8: Mortal Enemy

In the compartment of the ship called Rusheng, the blood-soaked officer suddenly trembled and opened his eyes. The severe pain made him want to groan, but even the slightest movement was painful. The blood that had pooled under his body had slowly dried. For some reason, a large blood scab had formed over the wound on the back of his head.

He got up and opened a nearby cabinet door, where a mirror had been placed. He wanted to look at the back of his head, but found that he couldn't see it. He touched it with his hand and found that it was a terrifying wound. He knew he wouldnt survive.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

He looked out the window and happened to see Zhang Haiyan walking towards the center of the reef, carrying a bucket of disinfectant water. Based on the onlookers and the dust flying through the air, he already knew what was going on. After thinking about it, he took out a sealed steel tank from the cabinet and walked calmly towards the deck.

The people on the deck were all focused on the reef, so he blew a whistle to get their attention. Several sentries noticed him coming up and found that he had been seriously injured.

Lieutenant, did Zhang Haiyan do this to you? The sentry from before asked.

When the lieutenant only squinted at him, the sentry added, Your mortal enemy?

The lieutenant tried to make a sound. Zhang Haiyan? He looked to where the reef was and tried to keep himself from falling. Get the boat ready, were going to leave.

When the sentry nodded, the lieutenant added, All the people here are already infected, so go and take some antibiotics. Well leave these laborers here. Theres no time to deal with them. Dont attract their attention. Have twenty people bring submachine guns and dynamite. Theyll be following me to get the plague water. Sink all the ships except for ours.

The sentries went to grab their guns, and soon, twenty people were lined up. As they went down to the reef, the lieutenant felt that the wound on the back of his head was bleeding again.

I wont fail you. I will bring it back to you no matter what happens! He swore silently through clenched his teeth. He didnt know where the strength came from, but he managed to walk faster than usual.

When everyone saw the blood-covered lieutenant coming, they quickly got out of the way and stood on both sides. His blood dripped steadily on the ground as he walked forward, and soon, the group of people reached the entrance of the hole.

The lieutenant had already walked to the edge of the pool, squatted down, and filled a jar with corpse water. He then sealed the jar, turned around, and left.

His subordinates gave up attacking Zhang Haiyan and immediately lit all the bundles of dynamite before tossing them everywhere. There were a few professionals highly skilled at setting up explosives, who put the heaviest bundles beneath the keels crucial point. Once they were done igniting all the dynamite, they quickly evacuated.

Zhang Haiyan knew that the situation was bad. He thought about cutting off all the fuses with his blades, but when he looked around, he realized there were hundreds of sparks. He shouted, Shrimp, lets go!

The two rushed to the exit together, but were met with a heavy barrage of bullets and had to retreat. They heard more gunshots ring out, indicating that someone had hit the scaffolding outside the hole. It fell with a loud crash, making it impossible for them to climb up. The fuses behind them were still hissing as the sparks got closer and closer to their target.

I should have hit that bastard one more time to make sure he was dead! Zhang Haiyan fumed. That was so stupid of me!

He immediately turned around, picked up a few of the explosives nearest to them, and then threw them into the depths of the ship. Once a small space had been cleared, he grabbed a few sacks and handed them to Zhang Haixia. Use these to protect yourself from the explosion. Our fate is in Gods hands now.

Zhang Haixia looked at the sacks, shook his head, and then asked, Do you want to return to Xiamen?

I do!

Zhang Haixia grabbed all the sacks and put them on his back as protection. He then pushed Zhang Haiyan into the corner before he opened his arms to cover him. Thats good.

What are you doing?

Zhang Haiyan, I don't want to go back to Xiamen. I dont miss anything about it. Youll go back for me.

Before he had finished speaking, there was a loud noise and a huge blast of air pushed Zhang Haixia onto Zhang Haiyan. Zhang Haiyans head seemed to slam against something, and he knew nothing more.
