Chapter 212
“Bang!”
A gunshot rang out.
Mapu fell face down on the ground, blood gushing out from his forehead, and soon spread to the feet of several people nearby.
Some people subconsciously moved away, but Todd took two steps forward, leaned forward and stared at Mapp.
Everyone stared with bated breath, sensing some inexplicable and strange atmosphere. No one dared to speak for a moment, and even their breathing was very light.
Because Mapu had vowed that even if he died, the Lord Ryuka he believed in would resurrect him. Although everyone thought it was ridiculous, they still couldn't help feeling a little fear and silent expectation after his death.
The quiet atmosphere made people feel as if the man who had been the actual manager of Liukasao and made everyone feel fear and awe would stand up in the next second and give them that terrifying and cold smile.
After several minutes, Mapu was still lying on the ground quietly like all the other corpses, motionless.
Todd used his toes to turn Map's body over and saw clearly that his eyes were still open, but they were grayish-white, the color only seen in the dead.
He had no breathing, no heartbeat, and probably couldn't continue to think. He was already completely dead.
Everyone couldn't help but quietly breathe a sigh of relief. Seeing that the other party had the same reaction as themselves, they couldn't help but smile softly, as if they had won some kind of victory, and felt that a huge stone that had been pressing on their hearts had finally fallen to the ground.
Only Todd was a little disappointed at this moment.
In his heart he hoped that Mapu would survive.
Then... kill him again!
Even if Mapu was resurrected thousands of times, he could kill him thousands of times! Killing him once and then dying completely seemed too easy for him!
At this moment, Mapu's body suddenly moved, everyone was shocked, and the female driver in a mecha let out a short scream.
"Don't panic!"
Todd said calmly: "It's just that the battle outside affected the spacecraft."
When everyone calmed down, they realized that it was not Mapu who was moving, but the ground beneath their feet that was shaking, and they immediately looked ashamed.
Todd looked at Mapu lying on the ground and realized more clearly the prestige and influence of this man in Liukasao.
Each of these people under him was carefully trained by him since childhood, and they were absolutely loyal to him. Even if Todd asked them to die, they would do it without hesitation. Even such a group of death warriors lost their composure when facing Mapu's corpse.
But no matter what, the person is dead.
Thinking of what he had been taught, Todd finally decided not to insult the corpse. He stared at Mapu's face, which could no longer smile, and ordered, "Burn his body! Burn it cleanly."
"yes!"
Ao Hengchuan, who was wearing a mecha, responded. He understood Todd's thoughts, so he did not send the body to a special cremation place, but raised his right hand.
"puff--"
A golden-red flame spurted out from the right hand of Ao Hengchuan's mecha, covering the entire body of Mapu. Todd stepped back a few steps, but did not walk far away, just stood not far away and watched.
A disgusting burnt smell quickly spread, but everyone was breathing using the oxygen supply system inside the mecha, so they were not affected.
A few minutes later, only a small pile of ashes remained on the ground. Ao Hengchuan continued to burn for a while until the alloy ground began to melt in the high temperature, and then he turned off the flame spray gun.
In their opinion, with a pile of ashes like this, no matter how powerful Lord Liuka is, he won't be able to revive it, right?
Todd stared at the pile of ashes. After a moment of silence, he said to everyone, "The Singh Pirates are coming. It's very likely that Inmu's people won't be able to stop them. You guys should go and help."
"Yes!" Ao Hengchuan and others responded in unison.
Todd added, "Lloyd, take your men to open the blockade of the star port and return the mechas and warships there to the adventurers so that they can help fight off the pirates."
"Yes." Lloyd replied, hesitated, and asked again: "Sir, my son..."
"Don't worry, the nanorobots in his body have locked themselves up. Drink more water, and they will be metabolized in two or three days."
"Thank you, sir."
Lloyd breathed a sigh of relief. Although Todd said that the nanorobots had been locked, he did not dare to disobey Todd's order until he was sure that the robots in his son's body were completely expelled. He would not even show a dissatisfaction.
But such news still made people feel relieved. So Lloyd quickly went to carry out the new task while connecting with his son.
The group followed the order and left. Qianmei, who was left at the end of the group, couldn't help but ask, "Sir, what if those adventurers refuse to help and run away after taking the warship?"
Todd said, "That's because you don't understand the style of Singer's Pirates. Why are there so few survivors among their men? Because those who try to escape are often the first to be killed. Those adventurers know this, so they will naturally fight desperately against the Pirates; if they don't know... Singer will let them know!"
"oh……"
Seeing that no one else raised this obvious question, Qianmei realized that she was the only one who was not doing enough homework in this area. Her face turned slightly red and she hurried to catch up with the team in front.
Before leaving, she looked back and saw Todd had already stepped over the pile of ashes on the ground and walked alone into the depths of the corridor.
"Senior." Qianmei approached Ao Hengchuan and asked in a low voice, "Where are you going, sir?"
Ao Hengchuan glanced back and said, "He should be going to see Liu Ka."
"See Lord Ryuka... Ryuka?" Qianmei was surprised and worried: "It's very dangerous! Why don't you take us with you?"
As she spoke, she stopped and looked back, as if trying to catch up with Todd who had already walked away.
"Don't make trouble." Ao Hengchuan knew what she wanted to do and said coldly: "That is not a battle we can participate in. There are other people to help."
"Others?"
Qian Mei was stunned for a moment, and exclaimed: "As expected of our master, he is really unfathomable. Even our confidants don't know how many layers he has hidden."
Ao Hengchuan didn't say anything, but he knew it best in his heart - there was no such thing as how many layers there were, Todd had already revealed all his cards. If Mapu wasn't so arrogant, it wouldn't be clear who would fall today.
Deep in the corridor was Muzhe, whom Ao Hengchuan could never see clearly.
Of course…it was still unclear whether that person was “Mu Zhe” or not. After all, when Tao De wanted to cover up the identity of “Mu Zhe”, he directly ordered him to do it.
The man followed Todd to the 18th floor and stood in the corner in a low-key manner from the beginning. Even though Todd attracted everyone's attention like a large spotlight, almost no one noticed him standing behind Todd. No one saw when left the meeting room, and some people probably naturally thought that the attendant had died in the chaos.
But Ao Hengchuan knew it wasn't the case. He couldn't imagine the identity of that person, he only knew that he might be a monster comparable to Ryuka.
Among all the people who followed Todd to rebel against Liukasao, only Ao Hengchuan was told part of the truth by Todd. Everyone else thought Todd was trying to seize power, that Max was the controller of the spacecraft, and that Liuka was a scientific researcher who was sidelined by Max.
Of course, after seeing Mapp's fanatical belief in Sulphur, no one thought that he was a harmless and low-key scientist, but they also didn't know how powerful Sulphur could be. In everyone's mind, the most terrifying power was the star destroyer, the black hole maker, and the antimatter cannon. As for the cosmic law weapon that could change the world dimension, the two-dimensional foil was only a thing that existed in fantasy novels in the era of the Interstellar Alliance.
But...even though Suka doesn't have the two-dimensional foil, he is still a person who can destroy an entire planet across a distance of light years!
Can the unknown "Mu Zhe" and the ordinary man Todd really be a match for that kind of existence?
Looking back at the empty corridor, Ao Hengchuan felt sad.
He knew...Todd went there with the determination to die.
The night before, Todd handed over all subsequent matters to Ao Hengchuan as if he were leaving his last words. He did not bring his subordinates with him because even if all of them died there, it would not be of any help.
He may not be sympathetic to human life, but he will not waste his subordinates in completely useless work.
The number of people on the streets was decreasing rapidly, and the roads were littered with all kinds of messy things discarded by people. Cleaning robots were busy cleaning, and were occasionally pushed and knocked down by the running crowds.
Some people were crying, some were searching, the seriously injured people were lying on the ground wailing, and the woman who was running for her life kicked off her shoes and ran barefoot on the ground.
The sharp cry of a girl coming from somewhere made people feel even more panicked.
Xi Yanxin sat quietly in front of the window, looking at the chaotic scene outside, feeling both pity and helplessness.
The pirates haven't even entered yet, but the entire Liukasao is already in such chaos.
The voice of the spokesperson of the Fighting Department continued to be heard in the ship-wide broadcast: "... We are currently fighting with the star pirates outside the spacecraft. So far, no star pirate has crossed the defense line to invade Liukasao. Please keep order, do not covet property, do not stay in the open area, and evacuate to the nearest protection area in an orderly manner. For those who cannot enter the protection area, please bring enough food and water and hide in the closed area in time. Please ask capable residents and adventure groups to assist the spacecraft in resisting the star pirates. We will provide weapons and mechas. Interested teams and individuals please go to the Fighting Department Management Office on each floor to sign up..."
A man on the street angrily cursed, "Bullshit! You are still lying to us at this time! Didn't they say that the Star Pirates had already come in?"
【No.】
Xi Yanxin whispered in her heart: [Those are not members of the Star Pirates.]
She saw clearly that when the real Singh pirates attacked, the killers pretending to be pirates quickly disappeared, and there was no more news on the Internet about people being killed by the suddenly appearing killers.
But there are few rational people like Xi Yanxin, most people are blindly following. Moreover, in places like Liukasiao, it is difficult for ordinary people to trust their managers. Therefore, the statement of the Fighting Department not only failed to play the role it should have, but seemed to make people more panicked.
Many people believed that the upper class was deceiving them in order to allow a small number of nobles and officials to occupy the limited defense zone first.
Because everyone knows that the spaceship is so small, the space that can be used to build a protective zone is very limited, and it definitely cannot accommodate the millions of people in Liukasao. Most areas of the spaceship are open town-like structures. Under normal circumstances, of course, the view is wide and the scenery is suitable, but if a group of space pirates breaks in... Let alone anything else, as long as a hole is blasted on the top of the spaceship, the vacuum will kill all those who fail to hide in the protective zone in time.
Therefore, no matter how the managers of the fighting department tried to persuade people, people remained panicked, and countless people died from being trampled and pushed.
In fact, the people in the Fighting Department did have their own selfish motives. The chaos on the streets was just the most common. The real tragic battle took place near the protection zone. The adventurers and civilians who attacked the protection zone were like an angry tsunami. The bigwigs who entered the protection zone in advance were pale and trembling under the protection of the Fighting Department. Countless bodies had fallen outside the door of the protection zone, and blood plasma was like a river, spreading wantonly.
But more ordinary people don't even have the hope of attacking the protection zone to seek a glimmer of hope. At this time, their only hope is to stay with their families, parents hug their children, wives snuggle with their husbands, and quietly wait for the moment of fate to come. Some people can't bear such fear and pressure, and they take the lead in ending their lives before the enemy arrives.
Xi Yanxin did not try to persuade the panicked people to stay rational, nor did she try to help those in trouble. Because she knew very well that with her physical condition, even if she didn't help others, as long as she didn't cause trouble to those who cared about her, she would be helping.
Suddenly, the door behind Xi Yanxin opened. The girl turned her wheelchair, looked at the other person and said softly, "Hello, Mr. Alpha."
"Hello."
Alpha nodded and walked in, followed by three others.
"This is Miss Xi Yanxin...this is Mrs. Muter, Mr. Banjin and Mr. Shardao. They are also taking temporary refuge here." Alpha gave a brief introduction to both parties.
"Hello." Xi Yanxin nodded and smiled.
"Hello... hello."
Banjin and the other man were at a loss when they first saw such a quiet and beautiful girl. They stood at attention quickly, but their eyes involuntarily looked at the girl's legs.
Xi Yanxin understood and explained, "My legs are fine. It's just that I had a serious illness before, and now my body is still a little weak, so I'm used to sitting in a wheelchair."
"Oh, oh, so that's how it is. That's good... That's good..."
The two grown men said this happily, and the sympathy and pity on their faces quickly disappeared.
Muter looked as if he couldn't bear to watch.
Alpha ignored the subtle thoughts of the few people and said to Muter and others: "Although this is in an ordinary residential area, the protection level is higher than the third-level protection area. You can stay here for the time being."
"Got it!" The three of them responded hastily, thanking him repeatedly. Along the way, they had clearly understood how precious such a safe house was at this time.
Alpha said to Xi Yanxin again: "Do you remember what I told you before?"
"Remember." Xi Yanxin was a little nervous: "Right...right now?"
Before, Alpha contacted Xi Yanxin in the name of Rongyuan, saying that he needed her help. After that, the two of them first sent Xi Yanxin's mother Wan Ruohua to a safe place, and then Alpha had a long talk with Xi Yanxin. Although what he said still felt a little incredible, Xi Yanxin was still willing to help him without reservation based on complete trust.
Alpha nodded: "Yes, I think it's time!"
