Chapter 208: Chapter 206: The Effect of Flagellated Algae

The remaining ten or so people were flattened by the octopus tentacles in an instant.

The splints were shattered, and Su Mo exerted all her strength to chop at those tentacles, but the level difference was too great, this sea was its breeding ground, and everyone was like lambs to the slaughter.

Ice Blades constantly burst out from around Lu Chen’s body, and he finally managed to sever a tentacle, but that only provoked a more ferocious attack from the octopus.

The entire ship was climbed upon by it.

It was shaking too much, Su Mo wanted to lean towards Lu Chen, but the ship broke directly from its fractured middle, and she panicked and ran towards him, "Lu Chen!"

The man’s pupils constricted sharply, and he immediately came back to pull her.

But the huge imbalance caused Su Mo to fall backwards, Jianxiong saw and tried to rush over to pull her, but the ship tipped too quickly, she only heard his harsh roar, "Little sister!"

The ship sank.

Without any warning, without any chance to fight back, the ship sank.

Su Mo fell into the pitch-black, turbulent sea water, her mouth and nose full of the salty and fishy sea, and a piece of splintered plank on her belly, pressing her down swiftly.

[Critical Warning: Life signcontinually weakening]

In her mind were a series of alarm sounds, Su Mo struggled desperately, she was strong, she could get out from under the steel plate.

But she could not resist the pressure of the water and the steel fragments on her body.

Lack of oxygen made her mind groggy, was she going to die?

In a daze, a strong hand grabbed her, and then, she was pulled out from under the steel plate, and something cold propped her up to ascend, Su Mo forced herself to open her eyes in the water, she saw that rapidly sinking figure, that silver hair so dazzling in the pitch-black sea water.

No!

No no!

Su Mo opened her mouth to shout, but only inhaled the salty and foul sea water, she was carried straight up by the Ice Shield, Lu Chen used all his strength and superpower to tear open the Space, and swapped places with her.

As she was brought to the surface of the sea, she was hit by the floating mainmast and passed out directly.

On the mast, there was also a person lying unconscious.

In the entire ocean, the waves created by the octopus tentacles instantly swallowed several people, Jianxiong fell into the water and was hit by a wave, losing track of him.

The giant octopus followed the ship into the water, approaching Su Mo.

Above the sea level, dazzling blue light rose.

It was swarms of flagellated algae.

The giant octopus seemed to fear the flagellated algae, its suckers hadn’t yet clung to Su Mo’s body, and it retracted all its tentacles, rolling up two nearby superpower users and rapidly sinking to the seabed.

Su Mo lay on the Ice Shield, the blood from her forehead mingled with the blood of the person on the broken mainmast in the water among the flagellated algae.

A mysterious chemical reaction was born in the sea.

Relief.

An unprecedented sensation of relaxation and comfort.

It seemed her eyelids were particularly stung by the sun, she slowly opened her eyes, and raised her hand to block the fierce sunlight above her head.

What made her bewildered was, her hand was transparent.

What’s going on?

Wasn’t she at sea? Had she died?

[System, have I died?]

She floated in mid-air, momentarily stunned.

[Detecting...]

[Chemical reaction occurred upon contact with the Mutated Flagellated Algae, reason unknown]

Su Mo looked around, her pupils clenched, the street, why were there so many people.

She floated in mid-air, seeing students in groups of three or two, lying in front of the milk tea shop sipping their drinks, seeing the hurrying passersby, everything was a scene of blooming life before the apocalypse.

Her mind was a mess, her body, it should still be in the sea, so was this scene an illusion woven by the flagellated algae?

She wandered aimlessly down the main street, no matter how she yelled for the system, there was no response, the System Bag and panel were all locked.

The image of Lu Chen sinking to the ocean floor flashed in her mind, Su Mo was dazed for a long while, then suddenly pulled up a cold sneer, it didn’t matter, her body would be eaten by the Mutant Fish anyway, so it would be fine to stay in this illusion until death.

"I’m wrong, Mom, I didn’t mean to break the bottle,"

a voice tinged with grievance and sobbing reached Su Mo’s ears.

Despite being two streets away, she heard it, Su Mo floated through walls, and drifted over.

A small figure was squatting with its head in its arms inside a luxurious clothing store, next to a shattered vase, a woman was scolding the child on the floor, Su Mo recognized her at a glance, it was Fang Lian, Lu Youwei’s main wife.

That on the floor...

Su Mo floated up to the small figure, the child’s face reflected in the large floor-to-ceiling window, those dark eyes were so familiar.

"What’s happening.." she floated back, her eyes in turmoil, could the hallucination even let her see Lu Jin as a child?

Fang Lian seemed to have finished scolding, she took out a black card and told the clerk to settle the bill before she forcefully pulled up Lu Jin’s small hand, dragging him into the car.

Su Mo couldn’t reconcile the cute and adorable child in front of her with that monster, she drifted after them unconsciously.

She followed beside the car, as it sped away, Fang Lian’s scolding echoed all along the way: "I never even dreamed, just when I got rid of a vixen, now this sister-in-law has moved in!"

"Mom, don’t be angry," Lu Jin carefully tugged at Fang Lian’s sleeve.

But to his surprise, the response was a loud slap.

"Can’t you stand up for yourself, Lu Chen might be coming soon! Our mother and son’s status will soon be trampled into the dust!" Fang Lian was trembling with anger.

This was a stark contrast to the woman Su Mo remembered who was so fearful of her own son.

She watched Lu Jin with his head down, not speaking, and couldn’t help but nod in agreement; in such a dysfunctional family, it would have been strange if the child hadn’t been twisted.

"If only I could kill him now.." Su Mo mumbled, her eyes brightened, controlling her body to dive into the car and float to the ceiling, extending her hand towards Lu Jin’s neck.

Her transparent fingers passed right through his neck, she couldn’t touch him.

Su Mo retracted her hand and sighed, it would have been better to nip the great devil in the bud.

Just as she was feeling disappointed, Lu Jin suddenly lifted his head, locking eyes with Su Mo.

She was startled, could he see her?

Su Mo moved closer to him, noticing his gaze was unfocused, not on her, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you even listening to me?! Lu Jin!" Fang Lian turned her head to see her good-for-nothing son daydreaming, and ignited her fury again.

Another loud slap landed, and the boy’s little face now had two symmetrical, bright red handprints.

"I heard you, Mom," Lu Jin turned to her, seemingly oblivious to the pain on his face, his small hand caressing his neck, where it had just felt ice-cold.

Su Mo followed the car all the way back to a large villa inside the military area in City B.

Her eyes brightened again, could she see Lu Chen as a child now? Su Mo controlled her body to quickly float into the villa, searching floor by floor, there were many people inside, it was lively, but she didn’t see the shadow she hoped to
