Both time-traveled characters ended up as villainous henchmen.

Amidst the hail of bullets, He Nian sprinted at breakneck speed, his body constantly shifting and changing shape as he dodged and weaved. A large number of bullets whizzed past him, but none of them actually hit him.

This method of evasion requires extremely high physical strength, and He Nian was not used to it at first. However, after only one or two breaths, under the stimulation of this intense life-or-death crisis, he quickly activated the physical talent of his body that shared the power of two worlds.

And they are still exploring the potential of the physical body to go even further!

Even the hidden power within the body slowly seeped into every part of the body under this stimulation.

In an instant, He Nian entered a state of selflessness in this dangerous situation.

The world seemed to slow down in his eyes, the trajectory of bullets became easier to predict, and he could even mentally rehearse who was about to pull the trigger.

A feeling of joy that transcended everything rose from his heart, and his control over his physical body increased once again!

He Nian's running speed suddenly increased!

But to Derek and the quarry security personnel who were firing their guns, this scene presented a completely different and terrifying picture.

"Damn it! Why can't I hit it?!"

"Is this person a superhuman?!"

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Derek realized he had to escape. He couldn't stay here, or he would definitely be killed by this man in black!

However, just as he was about to order his men to stop him, He Nian's ghostly figure easily passed through the twenty or so security personnel and grabbed him by the neck.

The terrifying speed instantly transformed into a tremendous impact force, and He Nian, holding Derek tightly, slammed him into the exposed rock face.

Boom!

The massive granite structure, several meters high, shattered instantly, sending a barrage of debris and dust flying in all directions. Several unfortunate security personnel were struck in vital areas and their lives were extinguished in an instant.

This dramatic change ignited fear in the hearts of the security personnel present, who scattered and fled in screams, some even dropping their guns.

He Nian was not a bloodthirsty person, so he ignored the security personnel who were fleeing.

He simply stared at Derek, who was barely alive amidst the rubble, silently savoring the feeling from before.

The intense excitement spurred by the life-or-death crisis had not yet dissipated from his heart, but the hidden power within him once again fell silent.

Perhaps he needs a more intense battle?

At that moment, Derek cried out in pain from the pile of rubble, interrupting He Nian's thoughts.

It must be said that people in the pirate world generally have very high physical strength. Even someone like Derek survived such an impact.

However, judging from its condition, it won't last much longer.

He Nian tore off the mask from her face, revealing her true appearance, and then lifted Derek, who was barely alive, from the pile of rubble.

"Mayor, we meet again."

"Heh..." Derek merely tugged at the corners of his mouth, letting out a wheezing sound like a broken bellows. He didn't seem to care about the familiar face behind He Nian's mask. After catching his breath and regaining some strength, he managed to say with difficulty, "Outsider..."

However, a series of booming artillery fire interrupted Derek's last words.

Rumbling--

A dozen shells landed precisely on the largest mine in the quarry, causing the already unstable mine shaft to collapse instantly, burying a large number of miners who were still working inside.

He Nian and Derek were located far from the mine, so they were not directly hit by artillery fire.

However, the large amount of rubble and the cracked ground also changed the surrounding topography.

"They actually chose to attack the quarry first!"

He Nian turned his head to look in the direction from which the cannon fire came, and with the help of the starlight, he could indeed vaguely see a pirate ship anchored on the sea not far away.

The quarry is located in the northeast corner of Irit Island. Although it is close to the coast, the surrounding terrain is not suitable for building a port.

The actions of these pirates are either simply a way to vent their anger, or...

The plan is to take advantage of Derek dealing with Patrick at the quarry to directly annihilate the largest armed force on Irit Island!

He Nian preferred the latter, after all, the quarry security personnel were better equipped than the security team in Yilit Town.

However, his intrusion has caused the pirates' plans to go awry.

Don't stay here for long.

He Nian turned to leave, ignoring Derek, but in this critical moment, Derek seemed to have a sudden burst of energy before death, reaching out and grabbing He Nian's trouser leg.

"He Nian!" Derek's face was contorted with rage. He opened his mouth with all his might, blood gushing out. He cried out hoarsely, "Please! Please... save Irit Island! That... power, only you can do it! Just... just hold on until dawn, and the Navy... will arrive!"

After saying that, Derek could no longer hold on, his head lolled to the side, and he died.

navy?

He Nian didn't care about Derek's complicated state of mind at the moment, but she extracted a key piece of information from his words.

At dawn, the navy will arrive at Irit Island.

It seems Derek isn't completely senile; he still knows to notify the Navy. He just overestimates the moral bottom line of pirates.

He Nian kicked Derek's corpse aside, then turned and headed towards the town of Irit.

As the island's only commercial center, Irit Town naturally also has the island's only standardized port.

Pirates can only land from there.

He Nian didn't intend to fight the entire pirate crew alone; he just wanted to save as many townspeople as possible.

……

The deafening roar of artillery fire forcibly roused the sleeping town of Ilit.

Meanwhile, the town's police station was in complete chaos.

"Take all the weapons and ammunition! Kane and Martin, guide the residents into the caves for shelter. The rest of you, I'll cover your evacuation!"

Joel had long lost his usual composure, and even his voice, which was directing his men, was trembling uncontrollably.

He was terrified, yet also somewhat relieved. If the shelling had been directed at the town instead of the quarry, he would probably be dead!

But the pirates won't give up so easily; the town is where they find the money and supplies they need.

The town is definitely going to be attacked!

"Boss, with our numbers, do you think we can withstand the pirates' firepower?"

A thin sheriff asked Joel, his voice trembling with tears.

"us……"

Joel fell silent, the words of encouragement he wanted to say stuck in his throat.

This attack was different from the previous simple harassments; it was a truly organized pirate attack, and with their limited manpower and equipment, they simply couldn't stop it.

Even the underground caves where residents hide have a very high chance of being discovered by pirates.

Before Joel could compose himself and encourage his team, a series of piercing screams came from the direction of the port.

"How is that possible?! It takes at least half an hour to get from the quarry to the port..."

Joel couldn't believe it, but the screams and the faint smell of blood shattered his illusions.

"hateful!"

With a shout, Joel grabbed his gun and rushed out of the police station, only to witness a scene that nearly drove him to despair.

A pirate wielding a knife in one hand and sporting a bizarre braided hairstyle is indiscriminately slaughtering the townspeople.

There were more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground, and a large amount of blood pooled together, flowing wildly in all directions, turning into a strong evil aura that spread throughout the entire town.
