Chapter 207: Chapter 205: Catastrophe

Su Mo seemed somehow familiar as she lowered her head, and then she smiled, "No questions."

She did not want to explore matters that were both groundless and meaningless.

Even if she knew who her parents were, it was like knowing the origin of the destruction of Earth; the outcome would not change.

All she wanted now was to be with Lu Chen, bring back the data, and then live a good life in City B.

Lu Chen came back, and Su Mo looked up to ask him, "Will we go to Lu Jin’s ship tomorrow?"

"Mmm," the man sat down beside her, his eyes tender.

Jianxiong, seeing that look from his boss, unconsciously moved out of his seat, deciding to stay down below in the cabin.

"Will he try to trip us up?" Su Mo frowned, worried about dealing with such an extremely dangerous and twisted person.

"No,"

As for someone like Lu Jin, although violent, he was not brainless; otherwise, he could not have become Lu Youwei’s successor.

Lu Chen was well aware of this.

Su Mo shuffled a little closer and leaned against Lu Chen, "Can the stuff on the USB really change humanity?"

From her point of view, after everything she’d experienced, she didn’t believe it; although Jiang Zhou had said that he had become like this only after his data had been tampered with, no one knew what the truth really was.

Holding her, Lu Chen’s voice was cool and calm, "If it can’t, someone will pay for it."

From his words, Su Mo sensed a hint of ruthlessness and sighed, "I always feel like things are not that simple."

Forcing human evolution—no matter how Su Mo looked at it, it seemed to defy the natural laws, and maybe it would bring catastrophic consequences to City B?

"By that time, it will no longer concern me," Lu Chen held her, pushing her against the console and rubbed his nose against her delicate one, his voice deep, "I promised you."

He would give up everything to be with her properly.

"Mmm," Su Mo hooked her neck around his and smiled joyfully, "Yes, even if something happens, there must be someone to pay for their greed and mistakes."

Early in the morning, a man from Lu Jin’s side came to call them.

Lu Chen led his people crisply onto the ship.

Su Mo was still held in his arms, looking frail and powerless as she was seated on a wooden stool on the plaform.

Although she guessed Lu Jin had noticed something fishy, with today’s advanced technology, suppressing pain was quite normal, wasn’t it?

Just like him at the moment, who, although having broken two bones, showed no sign of it on his face.

Lu Jin was puzzled but merely thought that Jiang Residence had developed its own medicinal treatments.

Technology had indeed helped Su Mo a lot.

When everyone was on board, Lu Jin did not say much and directly ordered the ship to set sail.

The anchor was raised, the waves dispersed, and the ship slowly left the island.

The weather today was quite nice; at least, soon after setting out to sea, the sun had come out and the swell was not too large.

There was no storm, no miasma, and the helmsman, hired by Lu Youwei and a fisherman, carefully observed the weather before cautiously discussing with Lu Jin, "We can speed up, open the sails on top—today’s weather is a rare occurrence."

After Lu Jin agreed, two superpower users immediately climbed the mast to open the canvas at the top.

"Ouch!"

Neither of them were professional sailors nor did they possess the knowledge of soldiers, and one of them carelessly got a big gash pulled open by a steel plate wrapped on top.

Just as the ship was turning to avoid a reef by the island, the person’s blood from their palm dropped entirely into the rolling black waves.

No one noticed this minor disturbance.

Su Mo certainly didn’t care about someone’s hand injury, but her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

She looked up, suddenly stood up from her chair, staggered to the railing, and peered around, scanning both far and near, but found nothing amiss.

"Feeling unwell?" asked Lu Chen.

After having been seasick once, Su Mo seemed to have developed an immunity to it. She turned to look at him, then shook her head, "No, perhaps the waves just now were too big, and my heart slowed for a beat."

"Go back and sit down," he said, taking her hand and leading her back to sit on the wooden steps.

To conceal his identity, Jianxiong had his clothes wrapped tightly around his leg. Limping over, he sat next to Su Mo, rested his hands behind his head, and chatted, "Sister, when we get back, I’m going to sleep for three days and nights!"

Seeing the dark circles under his eyes, Su Mo laughed, "You really need a good sleep."

The person who had climbed down from holding the sail wrapped his hand and went into the cabin; Su Mo glanced at his heavily bleeding hand and her heart jumped again.

Below the surface of the sea, a gigantic creature slowly rose, making the ship on it look so tiny by comparison.

With both Spiritual Ability Users on either side dead, the ship sailed on the sea, unaffected by any monster’s approach, smoothly making its way.

Only when the sun set and the sky was filled with stars did some slight noises begin to appear.

Just as Su Mo was about to stand up and go below deck with Lu Chen for a meal, a sudden violent shake made her stagger, but luckily, Lu Chen quickly caught her by the waist.

"What’s happening?"

"What’s that?"

People on the ship were somewhat panicked, all gathering on the deck.

Su Mo’s heart pounded as she saw the emerging giant tentacles of an octopus, realizing it was not her imagination.

"It was the blood that attracted it," Su Mo said with certainty.

Lu Jin stood by the railing, his entire demeanor furious, "Everyone, prepare for battle!"

The ship rocked heavily as the giant suction cups clung to the bottom and sides of the ship, violently shaking it. Thankfully, having eaten some medicine the night before, Lu Chen grabbed onto a pole, his claw hook locked into it, while his other hand tightly held onto Su Mo.

Jianxiong lay on the ground, his claw hooks emerging from his palm and clinging onto a splint so he wouldn’t fall off.

A tremendous fear rose in everyone’s hearts.

The ship tilted, and everything on deck fell into the sea.

One after another, tentacles slapped the sea surface. What a monster it was, with each dark red tentacle about two meters thick, its suction cups armed with sharp hooks.

Clutching the pole, Su Mo urgently said to Lu Chen, "I can take care of myself, go help! The ship can’t sink!"

If it sank here, no one would survive.

Everyone’s superpowers were desperately thrown at the tentacles as if they were throwing money away.

Every tentacle that was knocked off was immediately replaced by even more. As the ship tipped to one side, Su Mo saw the true form of the creature.

Without any exaggeration, it towered several meters high, the massive octopus head clinging to the stern.

The ship’s mainmast was smashed by a tentacle. Su Mo quickly ducked to avoid it. The Tang Blade, stored in Lu Chen’s "Space," was thrown to her. She caught the blade and struck a tentacle. Although it injured the creature, it was so vast that her blow was as insignificant as a toothpick stuck in meat.
