“You all go first, I’ve got it here.” ShouHe threw the unconscious Man Yun into the corner like trash, then joined the battle fully concentrated. Yu immediately shouted, “I won’t leave, I want to help too!” She handed the disabled Hong to the Birdman and jumped strugglingly left and right in the hail of bullets.
You know, even a peerless tough guy like YaoJin would be disdained by ShouHe for doing something as trivial as smashing a wall, not to mention Yu, who just wanted to show off her white lotus spirit. Before Cen Zhen and Lian Yu walked away, they saw ShouHe throwing the pitiful Yu next to the Birdman from the crowd of masked killers, and said without mercy: “Just protect yourself.”
Yu could only ‘grit her teeth’, ‘retreat reluctantly’, ‘look back every three steps’, and ‘affectionately’ admonished: “Mr. ShouHe, you must be careful…”
ShouHe did not need to be careful, but the opponents under his abuse should be careful.
To be honest, Lian Yu had the urge to rush back and compete with Yu to see whose acting was better, provided that Cen Zhen was not here. Since his Guide was standing right next to him, the urge to act was certainly not as important as Cen Zhen, so Lian Yu followed Cen Zhen and left without hesitation.
As for the Birdman who was watching the show on the side, he felt that he was out of tune with this wonderful world and couldn’t understand the development of the plot…
Walking to the seventh floor, Cen Zhen unexpectedly met an old friend – the werewolf Coco, who was supposed to be lying dead between the bed and the tortoise shell in the Slave Arena. YaoJin asked in surprise: “Didn’t you faint completely in the basement? Why are you here?”
“Don’t underestimate the recovery ability of werewolves.” Coco sneered and then continued to stagger forward crookedly.
Cen Zhen didn’t see how strong the recovery ability was, but the willpower to survive was indeed incredible. So Lian Yu took the initiative to run a trip back and brought the wolf who was howling to let him go to ShouHe. ShouHe didn’t sense that he was treated as a nanny by the Sentinels and the Guide. He pointed to the corner and said, “Put him over there. I’ll take them with me later.”
“Okay!” Lian Yu unloaded the burden happily. He thought about it and decided to do it once and for all. He packed up the Birdman, Yu, and Hong, the group of burdens, and brought them to the corner, and piled them together with Man Yun and the wolf, who was tied up and not allowed to move.
The Birdman was simply confused. If he understood correctly, ShouHe stayed here because this was the most dangerous place. He was the rear guard for others to move forward. How come things go the other way around now, and all the weak chicklings were placed here in ShouHe’s care.
YaoJin recognized the doubt on his face and said with a smile: “Don’t worry, with this boss here, this is the safest place.”
The Birdman: “.…..”
He turned his head silently and looked at the endless masked killers on the fifth floor. These killers seemed to be tools that appeared in batches under some production chains. After one wave fell, there was another wave, one after another. He doubted the truth of this sentence.
But when he looked up, he happened to see the indescribable scene of ShouHe crushing the head of the masked man in the colorful world. For a while, red and white brain matter and electronic circuits flew everywhere, scaring the Birdman so much that he quickly shrank into the corner and prayed that the gods would not hurt innocent people when fighting.
After the team had only three people left, their efficiency increased greatly. Because the sixth floor is the location of the BOSS, it is a place with the fewest people but the strongest security. It is also the most dangerous yet the easiest to lower one’s guard, therefore the most troublesome…
Unfortunately, there was an irregular deviant. In the early stages of the chaos, this place was wiped out by ShouHe. Cen Zhen and his team easily passed the sixth floor, then the seventh floor, which was originally a restaurant but now filled with scenes of looting and burning. Next on the eighth floor was the navigation office, and the ninth floor was empty and belonged to machinery. Finally, they successfully reached the deck of the giant ship.
The deck was empty. After all, no one with a brain would choose to go to the highest point except for the winged races who could fly and hover here. If others come, they could only listen to the sound of the waves and blow the cold wind, and finally choose to jump into the sea to commit suicide out of pain.
Most people who wanted to escape from the giant ship would choose to run to the lower level, where they had prepared a small lifeboat with sufficient resources. They would access the boat by entering the password only they knew; and then be caught by the deep-water mermen.
YaoJin nervously ran to the spot where the seaweed man had hung Pan before. Looking at the mucus and seawater left by the seaweed man standing for a long time, he held the railing and looked far into the sea. His desire seemed to have substance, just like his beautiful red hair fluttering wantonly. Just when YaoJin was about to stick his whole body above the knees out of the fence, he suddenly shouted: “I saw him!!”
“……” Cen Zhen also walked to the edge of the board in the wind mixed with the smell of seawater and blood. Unfortunately, he was short-sighted. At a distance of 200 meters, only a Sentinel’s eyesight could see a human face that was less than the size of a grain of rice.
As a Guide, he could only see the blood-red sea surface and some things floating on it that he couldn’t tell what they were. Some could be vaguely identified as arms or ribs, and more were unknown objects. It was unclear where they existed in the human body before.
Countless deep-water mermen laughed at a volume higher than that of ordinary humans. Others could only see their mouths full of sharp teeth and their hideous smiles. Mermen took pleasure in killing and swam in blood. Bullets could not hurt them, but they could create a dent or even a crack in the thick outer layer of a giant ship with just a flick of their tails.
“Are they out of their mind, why dare to provoke deep-water mermen?” Cen Zhen asked a soul-searching question. Lian Yu leaned against the fence and smiled, “First, greed; second, stupidity. Can’t they use common knowledge? A shallow-water merman who lives to adulthood freely and intact, how could that happen without having a strong backer behind him?”
Lian Yu turned around and said to YaoJin: “Is there any way to scoop Pan up here? If his condition continues like this, he will be sickened to death by those scraps of meat or otherwise drown… Oh, and he could suffocate in his own vomit too.”
“……” YaoJin leaned over the edge and looked carefully. When he found the right opportunity, he waved his hand. Cen Zhen only heard a melodious and crisp whale cry suddenly coming from the noisy sea. A black and white killer whale jumped up from the turbid sea, separated the dying Pan from the deep-water mermen, and let Pan climb on its dorsal fin to swim to the cleaner sea surface.
Of course, this was just what Cen Zhen saw. It was the first time he saw YaoJin’s spiritual body. After all, it was rare for this fierce sea beast to appear. In the eyes of the deep-water mermen, it was the human that the leader ordered to take care of who suddenly flew into the air and moved forward rapidly on the sea half dead. The deep-water mermen immediately rushed up and surrounded Pan.
Pan: “…What the heck!”
The appearance of the killer whale made him feel relieved to a certain extent, but also made it even more difficult to suppress his eagerness to see YaoJin.
“The killer whale’s call is too funny.” Lian Yu interestingly watched, “It sounds like someone is blowing a trumpet.”
“……”
He laughed twice and suddenly stopped. His green eyes flickered because of his guilty conscience. He looked at Cen Zhen carefully, secretly praying that his Guide wouldn’t notice.
But knowing his Guide well, Lian Yu had long understood how sharp Cen Zhen was. The fact was just as he expected. When he turned his head, Cen Zhen had already turned his head to look at him. When the two met eyes, Cen Zhen calmly and bluntly asked: “When can you see other people’s spiritual bodies?”
“Uh…” Lian Yu lifted his long hair, blown in front of his eyes by the sea breeze, “Just, just now?”
“Is the uncertainty in your answer asking if I am satisfied with the reply?”
“……” Lian Yu licked his lower lip and said shyly: “I could see it not long ago.”
“When was that not long ago?”
“It’s just not long ago…”
Seeing Lian Yu was unwilling to speak directly, Cen Zhen was too lazy to force him to answer, but he was very curious: “Why didn’t you tell me? Is there anything difficult to say?”
“Uh…”
Cen Zhen’s question actually made the shameless Lian Yu blush. Of course, even if he was shy, he was only shy for a few seconds. Soon Lian Yu said bluntly: “I just don’t want to tell you that I can see spiritual animals other than snow leopards… I don’t even want to see them. As long as there is only you, it’s enough. I hope you will always be the most special. I just want to see you and your little leopard.”
“… Got it.” Cen Zhen reached out and pressed Lian Yu’s face, indicating that he could shut up. This guy is good at love talk, but why is it so loaded?
Cen Zhen didn’t know how to judge Lian Yu’s mentality, but he felt satisfied anyway. Although Cen Zhen didn’t have the perverted possessive urge of the Sentinel, it didn’t prevent him from enjoying this unique special treatment.
Lian Yu blinked his eyes inexplicably with joy, “Let’s test our compatibility after we board the spaceship?”
“Sure,” Cen Zhen nodded, then said, “I haven’t entered your mental space for a long time. The size of the space hasn’t shrunk, right?”
“Who knows? You must be careful next time you come in and feel it out inch by inch.” Lian Yu deliberately slowed down his speech and emphasized certain words. Anyone who heard him knew what he was hinting at. Cen Zhen knew too, of course, but he was unmoved.
Lian Yu was used to the Guide’s cold reaction. He just wants to flirt with him, but won’t entangle him.
On the side, YaoJin saw a few stupid mermen circling around Pan, while the killer whale had a terrifying appearance. In this case, he could only stand in the corner anxiously. Of course, YaoJin was most worried about Pan’s physical condition. He was worried that if he continued to soak like this, Pan’s brain would be full of nothing but water.
“What should we do now?” YaoJin asked. He always felt that since Lian Yu and Cen Zhen could miraculously come to the Slave Market and come save him, destroying this ‘chronic disease’ of the universe in one fell swoop, then they must have a trick up their sleeve. At least there is a way to leave here, right?
Lian Yu really did. He touched the skin terminal on his wrist and looked at the clear blue sky. Not long ago, the sky and the sea were the same color. Now only the sky was blue, and the sea was stained with blood.
He said, “Just wait, I don’t know why the rescue is late.”
Rescue from the sky…… Cen Zhen could only think of Enfei and Jiu, the Zerg who were still learning the common language in the primeval forest of Whale Star, “Is it them?”
Lian Yu didn’t need to confirm who Cen Zhen was talking about, and nodded directly: “Yes, I don’t know what went wrong. It’s nearly an hour late from the agreed time, and they haven’t come yet.”
YaoJin didn’t understand what his companions were talking about, but he chose to shut up and listen wisely.
“Did something happen?” Cen Zhen frowned slightly, while Lian Yu sighed, “Between the Whale Star and the Lava Star, where we are, nothing much can happen, but if they continue to delay any further, something bad will happen to all of us, and it will be a big deal.”

As brother Zhen whispered in the ear of the Catfish, the male protagonist YaoJin beside them: I feel sour!! Where’s my Guide! My Guide is soaking in water 200 meters away!!
Translator’s Note:
I just discovered the difference between a mermaid and a merman… The majority of the mermaids are, in fact, mermen, meaning they are male. I will see when I have the time to go back and edit the previous chapters with mermen.
