Chapter 272: Shock (Second Update)

The Splicing Monster had no time to dodge, and its left head was instantly pierced by the red spear, splattering viscous liquid.

Its last remaining head let out a furious roar, and the kais biological reaction surged instantly, with all its cell tissues wriggling.

“Flash!”

Teacher Tang Xuan issued a warning immediately.

Su Ming decisively controlled his mecha to retreat. At this moment, the Splicing Monster’s body protruded with sharp black fleshy tumor-like spikes, but unfortunately, the attack missed.

At this point, Su Ming and Teacher Tang Xuan, who were retreating, simultaneously controlled their mechas to shoot a beam of light at the Splicing Monster!

Boom!

The Splicing Monster took two hits, leaving two holes in its body.

Seeing this, Mia controlled her Azure Wing Mecha, raised her two beam sabers, and charged fiercely towards the Splicing Monster.

“Die, you bastard!”

Crack!

Mia slashed the Splicing Monster’s neck, cutting off its last intact head, and then slashed its body again, splitting it in two.

“Chance!”

Seeing this, Rhein and the others rushed out one after another, raising their firearms and shooting violently at the Splicing Monster.

Bang bang!

Dense barrages of bullets hit the broken body, immediately sending shredded flesh flying.

The Splicing Monster’s broken body began to contract, attempting to forcibly heal its wounds.

However, Su Ming wouldn’t give it a chance. Without hesitation, he controlled the Gun Knight to charge forward and forcefully thrust a spear into the Splicing Monster’s body.

“Die!”

As the red spear pierced into the Splicing Monster’s body,

the Splicing Monster’s kais biological reaction plummeted, its activity directly dropping below fifty percent, and it began to lose its mobility.

Teacher Tang Xuan then controlled the Cyan Wing Mecha to charge forward, swinging her beam saber, dismembering it piece by piece.

Following that, she lowered her beam cannon, adjusted it to a diffused setting, and dissolved and decomposed the remaining corpse. After doing all this, Teacher Tang Xuan let out a slight breath.

“Oh, it’s finally resolved. Teacher Tang Xuan, you’re not hurt, are you?”

Mia asked with a smile.

Teacher Tang Xuan was silent for a few seconds, not responding to Mia, but instead said to Su Ming,

“Su Ming, thank you for your support. We still need to go to a safe haven, so we’ll be leaving now!”

Teacher Tang Xuan ignored Mia and instead thanked Su Ming and his entire team, then turned and left with her students.

“Oh my, is she really that petty? It’s not like Su Ming was supposed to substitute for a class, who knew something would go wrong? Besides, the person was rescued, right?”

Mia complained angrily in the squad channel.

“Relax, Teacher. It’s not the first day she hasn’t liked you. Rome wasn’t built in a day.”

Su Ming chuckled, trying to comfort Mia.

“Hmph, who cares if she likes me? Let’s go too!”

Mia angrily controlled her mecha to turn around and flew towards Safe Haven NO.17.

Su Ming and the others controlled their mechas to follow.

Just then, Opham’s steady voice sounded in the third squad channel.

“I am Opham. I have led my squad to Safe Haven NO.12. This haven has been breached, and there are no survivors!”

“Understood!”

Captain Wang Sheng replied in a deep voice.

Immediately after, two more teachers reported:

“Safe Haven NO.8 is destroyed, no survivors!”

“Safe Haven NO.21 is destroyed, no survivors!”

Su Ming and the others felt heavy-hearted upon hearing this news. With three consecutive havens having no survivors, it was likely there weren’t many left alive on this ship.

At this moment, Mia spoke in a deep voice, reminding them,

“Stay alert, Safe Haven NO.17 is just ahead.”

“Yes!”

Su Ming and the others immediately focused, not thinking about anything else.

Soon, they flew to the entrance of Safe Haven NO.17. This entrance was somewhat similar to an underground parking garage entrance, sloping downwards overall.

Mia led Su Ming and the others to the entrance door, where a thick metal security door came into view.

Rhein looked at the security door and said excitedly,

“The security door is intact, there might be living people inside.”

“Then let’s open it quickly.”

Zhang Yi said nervously.

“No, we can’t open it rashly.”

Su Ming and Mia said in unison.

“Ah?”

Zhang Yi was also slightly stunned.

“The external life support system is shut down, and the environment is very harsh. If they aren’t wearing protective suits, they’ll die. Also, opening it rashly is very dangerous; you don’t know if there are living people inside or hidden monsters.”

Mia skillfully explained the reason to Zhang Yi and the others.

“What do we do now?”

An Qi asked, somewhat at a loss.

“I’ll do it!”

Su Ming controlled his mecha to walk to the security door and knocked on it.

A muffled sound echoed inside.

At this moment, inside Safe Haven NO.17, groups of people in protective suits were hiding in panic. The moment they heard the sound,

their faces showed extreme fear, and they said nervously,

“Is it a monster?”

“Don’t make a sound, absolutely don’t make a sound.”

At this point, the knocking continued, and it was very rhythmic.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

The originally panicked crowd, listening to the rhythmic knocking, pricked up their ears one after another. The fear on their faces gradually faded, replaced by surprise.

“It must be our people, the rescue team has arrived!”

“Quick, quick! Respond to them!”

At this moment, a man wearing second-generation exoskeleton armor rushed to the sealed door, raised his gun stock, and forcefully knocked on the security door, giving a rhythmic response.

Su Ming and the others heard the response and said happily to Mia,

“There are survivors!”

Seeing survivors, Mia said to Rhein,

“Rhein, get out of your mecha and see if the intercom on the security door is still working. If it is, try to talk to them, ask about the situation inside, and see if the sealed door can be opened.”

“Okay!”

Rhein opened the mecha cockpit and jumped down. He rushed to the right side of the security door, opened a hidden cover, and an intercom came into view.

He tried pressing the button, and indeed, a sobbing voice came from the intercom.

“Is this the rescue team?”

“Yes, we are here to rescue you.”

Rhein immediately replied.

At this moment, excited voices sounded from the intercom.

“We’re saved!”

“Finally, the rescue has arrived.”

“Everyone, please calm down. We will definitely rescue you. Now I need your cooperation.”

“Tell us!”

“First, the nautilus’s life support system has stopped working. Are you wearing protective suits? Can you open the security door?”

Rhein eagerly pressed for answers.

“We can’t open it directly. Only a very few of us are wearing protective suits; the rest are not!”

“Then how many people are inside?”

“I’m not sure how many people, but probably over ten thousand!”

“Over ten thousand people?”

Rhein’s jaw nearly dropped to the floor when he heard the number.

Su Ming and the others were also dumbfounded when they heard Rhein repeat the number.

“This…”

“Oh my god!”

“How can there be so many survivors?”

An Qi and the others were all stunned.
