Chapter 160: Hostage

"Damn, that Mitsuisuke is dead! These ghost things are so fast!" When rushing into the building, the Hound glanced back and saw those red flesh worms crawling all over Mitsuisuke's body.

"After you board the plane, Layton, immediately use the communication equipment on the plane to send an emergency evacuation notice to the other bases on the Leviathan's wreck... Let all personnel stationed on the back of Leviathan evacuate quickly. Otherwise, everyone will become food for this thing!" Ke Lan said to Layton as he ran, but just as they ran up to the second floor, he suddenly stopped, turned around and rushed to the office of Manstein's secretary.


"Zhuo Ligetu! Take the wounded with you!" Ke Lan kicked open the office door and turned to shout to Zhuo Ligetu. At the same time, he grabbed Sakurai Na's wrist and forcibly dragged the girl, who had just finished an operation and was resting, out of the room.

"What's wrong? What happened?" The girl seemed very resistant to Ke Lan's rough behavior. She kept struggling, but her strength was nothing compared to Ke Lan who was wearing power armor.

"A lot of man-eating bugs have emerged from the ground. Mr. Mitsui and the mercenaries he brought have all been killed in the battle. If you don't want to die, follow us now!"


As the rock cutting work would generate a lot of noise, in order to allow the wounded and medical staff to have a good rest, all the soundproof wall panels in this room were lowered, so they could not hear the gunshots and screams outside at all.

"Mr. Mitsuisuke... is dead?! But..." The girl was shocked, but just when she wanted to say something, Ke Lan chopped her on the back of the neck with a knife, and then carried the unconscious girl onto his shoulders.


"It's not safe here anymore. If you want to stay alive, evacuate immediately!" Ke Lan finally shouted to the medical staff in the room, then ran out carrying the girl without looking back.

"What's going on? Why did you rescue a woman?" The hound, who had already run to the roof of the building, looked at Sakurai Na who was watching Ke Lan's shoulder, and a strange expression appeared on his face.

"This girl is quite pretty, but she doesn't need to risk her life like that." Layton stood at the door of the vertical take-off and landing aircraft and took Sakurai Na from Ke Lan's hand.

Just when Ke Lan rushed to the roof, the red flesh worms had already chased to the second floor, and the medical staff of the Mitsui Group only hesitated for a few seconds before they had no chance of escape.

"This girl is not simple... To the Mitsui Group, her value may be higher than Mitsui's." Ke Lan said as she climbed into the cabin.

"What? Do you want to snatch her away to be your wife?" Seeing the vertical take-off and landing aircraft rising steadily into the air, the Hound finally breathed a sigh of relief and joked with Ke Lan.

"No, they just took him hostage in the name of saving people." Ke Lan looked expressionlessly at Sakurai Nai, who was fastened to the seat by the seat belt. "If Liao Zilang was really taken away by the Mitsui Group, maybe we can use this girl to exchange him back."

"Shit! I didn't even think of this!" The hound slapped his forehead hard.

"This is the only solution." Ke Lan said. Hijacking rescue workers is indeed a despicable act... but it is Ke Lan's only choice in this situation.

Besides, if he hadn't forced Sakurai Na onto the plane, this talented girl would probably have been eaten by those bugs until not even a bone was left.

At this time, Layton, who was sitting in the driver's seat, turned around and asked Ke Lan, "Where are we going now?"

"Are the crystals we brought on board enough to support the plane back to the Ark?"

"It's definitely enough...but the area between Leviathan and the Ark is almost entirely a no-fly zone. In addition to the activity areas of those flying creatures, there are also a lot of thunderstorm areas and magnetic field anomaly areas...If you want to fly back, you have to go around a big circle. I estimate...it will take at least half a month."

"More than half a month... By the time we reach the Ark, it might be too late..." Ke Lan thought for a few seconds before making a decision that the others could not understand.

"Layton, fix the hovering altitude of the plane at 600 meters away from the Leviathan spine. We will wait here until the people from the Ark come over!"

"I don't agree!" The Hound said immediately, "This is too dangerous! Regardless of whether Leviathan is dead or alive, we cannot handle the bugs emerging from the ground... We don't even have an effective countermeasure!"

"Old Dog is right." Ivan also stood on the side of the hound. "Whether in the mine or in the base, the situation here is completely out of control... Ke Lan... We are just a group of hunters, not saviors. There is no need for us to sacrifice ourselves for this matter. Although those bugs don't seem to pose a threat to us on the plane, no one can be sure whether there will be new accidents..."

Ivan took a deep breath and continued, "Even if you guessed right, Leviathan is resurrecting...what can we do?"

This sentence immediately stunned Ke Lan...

Yes... Even if Leviathan is about to be resurrected, what can I do? Apart from notifying the personnel of other bases to evacuate quickly, what impact can I have on this giant beast?

In front of the primitive species, the power of individual humans is too small... so small that it can almost be ignored.

Even though he has unknown abilities, he is unable to use them to their full potential... Perhaps, he should really choose to confess...

Just when Ke Lan was in a dilemma, Manstein's secretary suddenly pointed outside the cabin and screamed. Everyone looked up and saw a "blood column" suddenly rising from the ground and split into several branches in mid-air, like a huge palm, grabbing another plane that had just taken off from the roof!

"boom!!"

A huge explosion sounded below, and the wreckage of the plane fell down with thick smoke. Those who fell out of the cabin - whether they were still alive or had become corpses, were caught in the air by the "tentacles" that split out from the blood column. They didn't even have time to struggle, and the flesh and blood on their bodies were eaten away like a whirlwind. Only blood-stained clothes and shoes were left. They lost their support and rolled down from the tentacles.

"Quick! Increase altitude!" Hound yelled at Layton at the top of his voice, "Don't let those bugs reach the plane!!"
