Chapter 1168: Chapter 900: From Sevaburg to Netanya

"Quack, quack." Xu Cheng walked to the muddy lakeside.

The surrounding mist swirled, visibility was less than a hundred meters, eerie to the extreme, but the footsteps of her comrades reassured her.

"Sure enough, this place is troublesome." Gabriella inspected the lake, seeing a massive pipeline stretching from the lakeside to the center where a half-submerged shuttle machine lay, painted in military green, like an important legacy left by the Northern Military Industrial Enterprise.

"Quack, quack." Xu Cheng’s eyes lit up at the sight of the shuttle machine.

It looked as precious as the Sky Patroller itself, and it should have suitable materials and components needed to repair her shuttle machine.

"Is that the one?" Gabriella peered out.

"Quack, quack." Xu Cheng nodded. Gabriella looked very young, as if time couldn’t mar her beautiful appearance, which surprised Xu Cheng.

Lieutenant Gabriella checked the giant pipeline and nodded to the person beside her, "I’ll climb up."

She personally took out a rope from her backpack, secured it to the pipeline, then climbed onto it, wrapping it around her waist as a safety rope.

This way, even if she fell into the lake, she could use the rope to get back to the top of the metal pipeline.

"Be careful, Lieutenant!"

"Lieutenant, let me do it!"

"Slow down!" the soldiers shouted nervously.

"Tsk... there’s something in the lake..." Lianhua observed carefully.

Gabriella took a deep breath, turned, and nodded to Xu Cheng and Bubble, before boldly walking onto the pipeline, like walking a slippery metal narrow bridge.

Step by step, she headed towards the shuttle machine at the end, with one end of the rope tied to the pipeline, long enough for her to reach the shuttle machine.

"Quack ya!" Xu Cheng cheered for her.

"I’ll stay away... everyone..." Shahua whimpered, finding a place to squat down, not wanting her bad luck to affect others.

Gabriella walked on, the pipeline trembling under her feet, emitting sharp metallic shrieks.

The rusty large water pipe could vibrate at any moment, throwing her into the lake. She tried not to think about what could be in a big lake in the restricted area.

Suddenly, a strange ripple appeared in the lake, and she turned to find herself only a few steps away from a nightmare-like monster.

——It was serpentine, with shiny black scales and hollow white eyes, rows of jagged teeth lined its bloody maw, ready to tear Gabriella apart.

"Lieutenant! Watch out!"

"Lieutenant!"

"Fire!" The soldiers on shore immediately opened fire on the monster.

Bang!

It slammed into the pipeline with force, causing Gabriella to wobble slightly before plunging into the water.

Falling into the water!

"Lieutenant!"

"Lieutenant Gabriella!" they shouted.

Bubbles quickly emerged in the water, accompanied by relentless loud noises.

Gabriella fell into the water, opened her eyes, and saw two aquatic monsters, one of which was the culprit that had knocked her down, while the other was even larger, with a grotesquely twisted body.

"Roar——" The aquatic monster swam toward Gabriella.

She raised her hand, a gust of wind-like power parted the waters, exposing its bloated body completely before her.

Immediately after, Gabriella swam forward, drew the knife from her waist, and ruthlessly slashed open the aquatic monster, slicing its belly, letting it bleed, paralyzing it rapidly! The filthy blood spread quickly in the water, and it rolled in agony, suffering from the blood loss, sinking to the lake bottom to die.

The other larger aquatic monster charged at Gabriella once more, and this time she unleashed her magic, lifting it into the air with a burst of air currents!

The monster was suspended three meters above the lake, and the soldiers all fired at it, mercilessly pouring bullets that pierced its swollen, strong white flesh, almost turning most of its body into flesh and blood mist!

Then, Gabriella gracefully lifted herself, jumped back onto the pipeline, drenched but still appearing calm, poised, and confident.

Slew two beasts on the spot!

"What... was that..." Lianhua was dumbstruck.

"It’s a ’Witch’." Ming Gongqiao said, "This Lieutenant Gabriella is actually a witch!"

Xu Cheng was a bit mesmerized.

In an atmosphere like Sevaburg’s, everyone seemed equal, like one and the same, making her never think Gabriella could be a witch. Ordinarily, witches should be treated specially, or something, but she’s like a regular person in society.

No wonder she looks so young and beautiful, just like all those eternally youthful witches. And what’s her magic power? Air manipulation? She saw Gabriella not only push away water waves but also lift the monster.

Gabriella, exceedingly calm, walked to the end of the pipeline, took out a spare rope, secured it to the shuttle machine, and then slowly dragged it towards the shore.

She used her magic power to manipulate air currents, causing the heavy shuttle machine to slowly move, finally reaching the shore.

"Look— it’s coming!"

"Let’s cut it open!" The soldiers worked hard to open the entrance of the shuttle machine.

Xu Cheng carefully observed the shuttle machine, though its exterior had corroded, its internal structure remained intact. The soldiers crawled in to search thoroughly, dismantling all the parts needed for repairing the Sky Patroller, and they also found some food and medicine, as if someone had tried to escape via this shuttle machine before the war but failed, leaving it at the airfield, ultimately submerged by time.

"Pay attention around, take a headcount, don’t let any comrade be silently dragged away by monsters, nor allow our comrades to be replaced by pseudo-humans." Gabriella efficiently commanded, keeping her troops intact and disciplined.
