Chapter 253 Military Region Surveillance

At the same time,

In the distance of the battlefield, on Morgan's ship, everyone looked calm.

"The Captain is actually at a disadvantage?"

"It's truly unbelievable."

"That group should be from Huaxia; that country is very interesting."

"Yeah, no one can say for sure what kind of Awakened are on that land, but their Talents won't be weak."

"The Captain has finally met an interesting opponent this time."

After a brief silence, someone turned their head to look at the shadows inside the ship's railing:

"Ghost Elder, the Captain is currently in a stalemate; it's time for you to make a move, isn't it?"

In the shadows inside the railing, an old man sat quietly.

He had a typical European face, but he was old and his back was slightly hunched.

It was worth noting that...

He was holding a gray bead in his hand.

A faint layer of mist slowly rotated on the surface of the bead; with each rotation, it suppressed the originally massive energy fluctuations in his body, leaving only an S-rank aura.

But in reality, he was one of only two SSS-rank top powerhouses in this team.

"The time hasn't come yet."

The Ghost Elder didn't look up, his voice steady and unhurried.

De Luca narrowed his eyes: "So, when is the best time?"

The Ghost Elder spoke indifferently: "Wait until Morgan draws that blade further away. I don't want to face two SSS-ranks at the same time; the risk is too high..."

As an S-rank Perception-type Awakened, De Luca's gaze crossed the churning sea and landed on the beautiful girl at the stern. After a moment, he spoke slowly:

"Just don't forget what the Captain assigned to you."

The Ghost Elder's voice was hoarse: "They're fighting heaven and earth over there, yet their strongest person is staying right by her side without moving an inch. Protecting her so closely only proves her importance."

"Once that woman is dealt with, the enemy will surely fall into chaos. Hehehe."

*Clang!!!*

Above the sea level, the figures of Han Cheng and Morgan had already fought their way to the side!

*Clang! Clang! Clang!*

Purple light and electric arcs constantly collided between the gray sea and sky!

The Ghost Elder tucked the bead into his pocket and slowly raised his hand...

In the next second, four thimbles appeared between his fingers!

Brass, silver, and black iron, of varying sizes!

He sneered and handed them to a burly man nearby: "Aim carefully, do you hear me?"

The burly man took the four thimbles and nodded: "Don't worry, Ghost Elder, I definitely won't miss!"

The Ghost Elder said no more, simply taking a step forward—

...

...

On the Huaxia Haicheng ship, everyone's attention was drawn to the increasingly intense clash!

Song Xingmian shook her head: "Han Cheng is getting too caught up in the fight. He's completely forgotten his role as Captain; he shouldn't be led by his emotions so easily..."

Song Xingmian looked to the side: "car owner Chen, are there any other noteworthy people among the remaining enemies? The bearded man has already entered the fray, and the yellow-haired merman has also made a move."

This "car owner Chen" was, of course, not referring to Chen Yu.

But rather Chen Muqing.

He was the second-ranked Vehicle car owner on the road.

SSS-rank Holographic Sandbox.

Song Xingmian's attitude toward him was clearly a bit more respectful than toward the others.

Chen Muqing shook his head, but his tone was cautious: "There shouldn't be. That bearded man and the yellow-haired guy are already their two strongest cards. Among the remaining people, there are no strong signals worth noting."

"However, the electromagnetic environment in this sea area is too messy. My Holographic Sandbox is heavily interfered with by Morgan's electric arcs, so I can't rule out the possibility of missing something."

Just as he finished speaking...

Several whistling sounds of breaking air suddenly came from the sea outside the railing!

A sharp screech!

Four steel needles burst through the mist, fanning out to block all possible evasion routes at the stern, heading straight for Song Xingmian's vital points!

?"

Song Xingmian's expression tightened; she naturally understood that this formation was intended to kill her!

But she really couldn't understand—even while staying put safely, she would still become a target?

"What!!"

At this moment, everyone noticed!

After all, the sound of breaking air was too loud!

This was clearly a power-type throw!

Ding Shouchang's face changed: "Shit! This is bad! Protect Miss Song!!!"

The twins couldn't pull away at all, and they were supports; even if they could, it would be meaningless!

Xu Yuanzhou, with his S-rank Strength Talent, and Yang Chen, with his S-rank Skill Talent, were also powerless!

Han Cheng was furious in mid-air: "Damn it! How dare you!"

*Bang!!!*

A single moment of distraction, and he was struck in the chest by a hammer, the electric current instantly sending him flying ten meters away!

He crashed into the water!

He Yu hurriedly used air to lift him up!

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Han Cheng spat out some blood: "Dammit!"

On the other side, it was a critical moment!

Chen Yu remained as immovable as a mountain,

even Water Bubble let out a very low "gurgle," waiting for orders!

But Chen Yu gave it a light kick, signaling it not to move!

For no other reason than this!

This woman was no pushover...

She claimed the livestream was off, but the switch for the Resonance Radio was in her hands; when to turn it on or off was entirely up to her.

To use an inappropriate analogy, she was like a walking [Eye of Peace]!

In this situation, Chen Yu only had two choices.

One choice was to turn Song Xingmian into an absolutely loyal red luan, and then have her stream selectively instead of reporting everything about him.

But this required an opportunity; it wasn't something that could be done immediately.

It required the right time, the right place, and the right people—not a single one could be missing.

The second choice:

Let her die right under everyone's noses, so Chen Yu's identity would never be exposed.

Everything he did from then on would only be attributed to Lu Heng.

A destroyed Military District surveillance camera

was much safer than a living time bomb.

"Lu Heng!"

"Move!"

Chen Muqing's voice suddenly exploded from the side!

Everyone on the ship heard this shout!

Chen Yu cursed inwardly.

He could have pretended he didn't react in time, but now, he couldn't even fake it!

After all, he was too close!

And Zhou Zhenguo had already introduced that his pet was exceptionally outstanding in terms of defensive capabilities!

In the next moment!

Water Bubble leaped up and came to a sudden halt in mid-air!

It expanded and spread out!

A hemispherical light shield covered the stern!

The steel needles were slowed down layer by layer after hitting the light membrane, clattering onto the deck and rolling a few times!

Taking advantage of the moment when everyone's attention was diverted,

Chen Yu quietly moved to Chen Muqing's side. "If you hadn't shouted, she'd be dead by now, and not only would Zhou Zhenguo's mission be completed..."

"You're too naive."

"Although I don't know your true identity..."

Chen Muqing whispered, "But why do you think the owner of the Resonance Radio Talent, the daughter of Officer Gu from the Imperial Capital, would be so easily stabbed to death by a few needles?"

"No one knows how many life-saving items she has hidden on her; even Officer Zhou's clearance isn't high enough to find them all."

"In this mission, anyone could die."

"You, I, or Han Cheng might die, but she won't."
