"Well, maybe I have." Shikoti's lips curled up slightly, "Then, can you hand that idiot over to me? He can still be of some use to my sister."
"Of course you can." Ruan Mengmeng stopped Shi Koudi, "But you have to ask me first if I agree."
Even though Ruan Mengmeng did not recognize Shi Koti, it did not prevent her from being certain that the woman in front of her was definitely not a friendly force. The girl felt danger from her, but this sense of danger did not make her want to retreat. Instead, it was as if there was a weak electric current stimulating her whole body, making her feel excited, and gradually raising a great desire to fight.
The girl was tall, and standing in front of Shikoti, they were of similar height. Although she was several years younger than the other, she was not at all inferior in aura.
Shikoti smiled provocatively, raised her hand to tie up her long dark golden hair, raised her hand and hooked her finger at the girl, making a provocative gesture.
"Empty-handed?" Seeing that the other party was unarmed, Ruan Mengmeng snorted, "I won't take advantage of you."
She sheathed the long sword in her hand, placed it at her side, clasped her hands together, and pressed her fingers as if to stretch her muscles.
Then, the girl suddenly moved, moving from stillness to movement, without any warning, as fast as thunder. This was a simple punch, without any tricks, and it went straight to the opponent's face.
Shi Koti raised her arm to block Ruan Mengmeng's punch, then crossed her hands to grab the girl's wrist and pull it towards her. At the same time, she raised her leg and knee, aiming at the girl's vulnerable abdomen. Ruan Mengmeng reacted quickly, her other hand immediately sank down to block the opponent's knee. At the same time, she turned around and raised her leg to kick back. The slender legs that she was proud of, like the sting of a scorpion's tail, kicked towards Shi Koti's chest.
Shi Kou Di had no choice but to release Ruan Mengmeng's wrist, otherwise this heavy kick would probably fracture her sternum. However, she did not give up counterattacking. Instead, she dodged the flying kick sideways and approached, closing the distance, blocking with one hand and elbowing the girl in the heart with the other.
Ruan Mengmeng narrowly avoided the elbow attack by leaning back, supported herself on the ground with both hands, and quickly stood up with a beautiful somersault. She raised her knee to block Shi Koti's punch, let out a slight groan, and immediately used the force to leap up, kicking the opponent's shoulder hard with an inverted hook kick. Although this was also blocked by Shi Koti, the opponent's expression was obviously not as relaxed as at the beginning.
However, Ruan Mengmeng's attack also caused her center of gravity to be seriously unbalanced. Before she could recover, the opponent had already kicked the girl in the open mouth. In a hurry, Ruan Mengmeng could only block with her arms and take the kick with her strengthened body. The huge charge made Ruan Mengmeng suffer a big loss, but at the same time, she also used this force to distance herself from Shi Koti.
This was just a brief encounter, but the testing between the two had already turned into an extremely dangerous exchange of moves.
Ruan Mengmeng felt a burning pain in her arm and a stuffy chest. She stared at the woman opposite her and had to admit that she had suffered some losses in the previous confrontation. Since Miss Ruan debuted, she had never suffered such a big setback. From childhood to adulthood, except for her father who licked blood on the tip of a knife, this was the first time she was at a disadvantage in such a one-on-one bare-handed duel.
Especially since the disaster, after her body has been steadily strengthened, whether it is dealing with zombie monsters or those scums, Ruan Mengmeng can almost be regarded as invincible with a long sword, and her mentality has inevitably changed. Now, the appearance of this mixed-race foreign woman in front of her made the girl see the reality again.
"Ah... it's so satisfying." Although the girl suffered a loss, the passion and fighting spirit in her eyes did not diminish at all.
Shi Koudi looked at Ruan Mengmeng with a strange look in her eyes. She really didn't expect that this simple confrontation would turn out to be a bit tense. At the beginning, she really just regarded Ruan Mengmeng as an ordinary girl with some skills, but now, she had to regard her as a master who could threaten her. Although she had the advantage throughout the fight, as long as she was not careful, she would be caught by the girl.
She rubbed the socket of her shoulder that was hit by the "hook kick". Although she defended in time, Ruan Mengmeng's extraordinary strength made Shi Koti feel a dull pain in her shoulder.
"Little girl, you are amazing." Shikoti praised, "Where did you learn that from?"
"My father taught me, and I learned it from others myself."
The woman raised her eyebrows slightly and sighed: "If that's all, it's not an exaggeration to call you a genius."
Of course, if she was just a "genius", she would not be able to fight to this extent with Shikoti who had undergone rigorous training. Obviously, she also had traces of being strengthened, and it was a more natural and better strengthening than the one given by the cult!
"You are very powerful. Among the people I know, even if my father comes forward, he may not be able to beat you." Ruan Mengmeng said in a deep voice, "But don't think you can beat me easily!"
The girl got into position, ready to strike again.
However, at this moment, a loud shout was heard: "Shikoti! Stop it!"
The one who shouted was the eldest daughter Anna, and Chu Xiao also appeared with Anna. The two of them happened to meet when they were rushing here.
When Chu Xiao saw the two people confronting each other, he immediately rushed over and stood by his sister. He held the shotgun with his uninjured arm and stared in the direction of Shi Koti.
But Shi Koti just smiled at Chu Xiao, with a playful smile that made it impossible to tell what was hidden in it. The extremely beautiful bodyguard turned to Anna and bowed, saying, "Miss, I'm here to pick you up. Your father is very worried about you."
"Really?" Anna responded a little stiffly, "You can go back, but I have a condition. Otherwise, I will never go with you, even if I die."
Shikoti's smile remained unchanged: "Please go ahead."
"Let them go, they saved my life." The girl Anna's tone was very tough.
"I have to consult your father about your request." Shikoti smiled and immediately contacted the pilot of the helicopter in the sky with the communicator, asking him to inform Sir Lobelin of the conditions proposed by Anna.
After a moment, Shikoti relayed Sir Lobelin's response: "The Sir said that since he is your lifesaver, he hopes to express his gratitude to you in person, so the Sir formally invites the two of them to board the ship together."
Chapter 20 Boarding
If given a choice, Chu Xiao didn't want to accept this "invitation" at all, but Shi Koti's next words dispelled Chu Xiao's idea of refusing.
"Believe me, the knight will not like to reject his well-meaning guests." Shikoti smiled, but there was a dangerous atmosphere in his words.
At this moment, Chu Xiao wanted to join hands with Ruan Mengmeng to kill this beautiful woman on the spot, and then escape on the boat. But thinking that this woman was enough to suppress Ruan Mengmeng's skills, thinking of the helicopter hanging above his head, and thinking of the RPG that exploded on the mountain, Chu Xiao really couldn't refuse the other party's invitation.
"Then Miss, may I ask, are you sure that these two people are the ones who saved you?" Shikoti deliberately emphasized the word "two".
Anna was stunned for a moment before she reacted, and quickly emphasized: "There are only two of them, no one else, on the island... there is no one else on the island!"
"Really?" Shikoti showed a look of understanding. "That's great."
No one present knew what was so good about this "that's great", but Chu Xiao instinctively felt that this woman, whose appearance and figure were comparable to those of his sister and the little secretary, was definitely not someone who was easy to deal with.
"Oh, right, and there are those bandits who are targeting the young lady..."
"No need, we have dealt with them." Chu Xiao just checked the numbers with Ruan Mengmeng. Including Harman who was unconscious here, all the twelve armed men on the island have been dealt with by them. Chu Xiao must now try his best to prevent Shikoti's people from searching the island, otherwise it is likely that his sister and the others will be exposed. Since it has been confirmed that there are only him and Ruan Mengmeng, there is no need to expose the existence of others.
——Absolutely avoid Chu Yan from having any contact with this group of people!
"It seems that there is one more thing I need to thank you for." Shi Koti walked in front of Chu Xiao, and Chu Xiao seemed to smell a faint fragrance, but he had no knowledge of luxury goods, so he didn't know what perfume this beautiful bodyguard used. However, Chu Xiao didn't feel the slightest bit moved, and the alarm in his heart sounded the loudest at this moment.
Chu Xiao didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that the woman in front of him exuded a sense of familiarity, as if it was not the first time he saw her. However, Chu Xiao was sure that if he had seen a mixed-race beauty with such a figure and appearance before, he would definitely be deeply impressed. He was indeed seeing Shi Koti for the first time.
The helicopter landed in an empty square, and Chu Xiao and Ruan Mengmeng followed behind Shi Koti.
Chu Xiao tried hard not to look in the direction where his sister and the others were hiding, to prevent this unclear female bodyguard from seeing anything. He covered his injured arm, his mind racing, thinking about what to do next.
That ship was someone else's territory. From what Anna wrote in her diary, her father, Lord Lobelin, was a cruel man who thought he was the king. For a man like that, did he invite them to board the Nibelungen just to express his gratitude in person?
What a joke!
Chu Xiao had completely regarded the ship as a "devil's den" in his heart, thinking that Sir Lobelin was probably another person like Sun Baishi. When they got on the ship, who knows how they would be treated!
Anna approached Chu Xiao and Ruan Mengmeng and whispered, "Don't worry too much. I...I will definitely protect you!"
The girl's eyes were firm, and she had already made up her mind. But Anna's words could not bring Chu Xiao any comfort.
Chu Xiao knew that this was a feeling of powerlessness, a sense of loss of control and hesitation because his fate was not in his own hands. In the days after the disaster, he was actually luckier than most people. Not only was he surrounded by beautiful girls, he also gained strength far beyond that of ordinary people, so that when he met Zhu Zhilin and others before, he had a vague feeling of "the strong sympathizing with the weak" with ease.
However, fate gave him a slap in the face, waking him up from his dream of being a "strong man".
He was in a situation where he had no choice, faced with a force so powerful that he didn't even have the power to refuse.
At this time, Shikoti, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and glanced at Chu Xiao, revealing a meaningful smile, which made Chu Xiao's heart tremble. Then he heard Shikoti say: "Before boarding, please hand over your weapons first. Please don't refuse. This is necessary for safety considerations. Please rest assured that the Nibelungen you are about to arrive at is extremely safe and does not need these things."
On the helicopter, a soldier in black was pointing a gun at the two of them. Chu Xiao was sure that if they showed the slightest intention of refusing, the soldier in black would pull the trigger without mercy.
At this moment, Chu Xiao was ready to enter deep strengthening. This was his trump card. At this moment, the helicopter suspended in the air had landed on the ground. With the power after deep strengthening, he could first kill the soldier with a gun on the helicopter, and then kill Shi Koti beside him. The crisis would naturally be resolved. With his enhanced physique and speed, he might not be unable to dodge the bullets.
"Brother Xiao, what should we do?" Ruan Mengmeng was ready to draw her sword. Even facing the black muzzle of a gun, the girl from the Ruan family was not afraid at all!
If you want to resist, now is your last and best chance!
Chu Xiao clenched his fists tightly. Not far away, Shi Kodi continued to smile, admiring Chu Xiao's struggle and entanglement, as if she was fully prepared no matter what decision Chu Xiao made.
That smile made Chu Xiao feel dangerous.
The inexplicable familiarity of Shikoti made Chu Xiao instinctively feel that even if he entered the deep strengthening mode, he might not be able to deal with this female bodyguard whose strength was unknown. From Anna's diary, Shikoti obviously had another identity as a "cult elite". Who could be sure that she had no trump card?
Finally, Chu Xiao's tightly clenched fist loosened and he said in a deep voice, "Hand it over."
"A wise judgment." Shi Koti said, and there was even a hint of admiration in her tone, but Chu Xiao just thought it was his own illusion.
Ruan Mengmeng's knife, Chu Xiao's shotgun and fire axe were all taken away by the black-clad soldiers. Even the walkie-talkie hidden on Chu Xiao's body was snatched out by Shi Koti.
"This thing is no longer necessary, or do you want to use it to contact someone?" Shikoti's eyes turned, and there seemed to be a light in her beautiful eyes.
"How could that be?" Chu Xiao's voice was stiff, forcing himself not to reveal any flaws, "I found it by accident, so I just kept it with me as a reminder."
"That's good." Shikoti threw the intercom to the ground and said deliberately, "I thought there was someone else here who needed you to contact."
She made an invitation gesture to Chu Xiao and the others: "Please board the plane, distinguished guests, we are about to go to the paradise on the sea!"
(ps: Prepare to officially enter the sea ship copy)
Extra 6: The End of Another World Line
This is a ruin. Although the world has become accustomed to the existence of ruins, it is obvious that this ruin was just created.
A huge explosion sounded, and the church-like building collapsed. Amid the dust and rubble, a middle-aged man covered in blood flew out from the fire of the ruins. He was obviously seriously injured, his face was abnormally flushed, his veins were bulging, and his muscles were swollen to an almost inhuman degree.
Under the impact of the explosion, he hit the wall hard, and his body smashed a huge dent in the concrete wall. The man was covered in blood, and although his eyes were fierce, he was already at the end of his strength.
"Uncle!" A beautiful girl rushed to the man.
"Yun girl, why are you here?" Although the man said this, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and there was clearly some minced meat mixed in the blood.
His internal organs had been crushed by the tremendous force and he was on the verge of collapse.
The man knew that his body was now like a piece of cracked porcelain. After so many years of patching, it had finally reached its limit.
"Nonsense! Of course I'm here to save you! Why don't you want to listen to me!" The girl carried the man's body and moved with difficulty, "I'll take you to find Professor Su. Professor Su will definitely find a way to save you!"
The man smiled foolishly, and he put his shaking hands into the girl's arms. Then, with his desperate body, he pinched the girl's well-developed breasts twice: "Tsk tsk tsk tsk, girl Yun has grown so big... cough cough cough!"
"You old pervert, it's not like you haven't touched me before. When you get better, I'll let you touch me as much as you want!" The girl's eyes were red. "When you get better, you can do whatever you want. So, please... please don't die! We agreed on this!"
“What you said really makes me… How can I bear to die…” The man smiled weakly, and for a moment he seemed to be a little more energetic.
But both the girl and he knew clearly that this was just a flash in the pan. His enhancement was originally a skill that only quenched thirst with poison. A few years ago, he "sealed" this skill because his body could not bear it. However, as Professor Su said, this kind of behavior of actively breaking the balance, once started, entered an irreversible state. If he did not use it in time, his body would only get closer and closer to the edge of the cliff.
"Hold on, talk to me, we'll be on the bus soon." The girl was crying. Her ability had allowed her to see the ending, but no matter what, she was unwilling to accept this!
"Yun girl, tell me, if I die like this, will I be able to see them?" His voice was very low, with a smile, as if he was talking to himself.
He knew he was going to die. Before that, Professor Su had sentenced him to death, saying that his body could only last a year at most. Rather than waiting a year to turn into a monster and die at the hands of his own kind, it would be better to fight for his life and bloom like a firework before he died.
Anyway, after his sister died, he could no longer find hope to live. It was precisely because his sister died early that he used this unbalanced enhanced ability without regard for his life, always rushing to the most dangerous front line... until he met Yun Duoer...
"Girl, it would have been great if I had met you earlier... If I had met you earlier, many things might not have happened..."
The girl... Yun Duoer didn't say anything, tears streaming down her face, and she led the man towards the car.
All around her were scenes that had appeared in her nightmares countless times. This was a cemetery that had been overgrown with weeds because no one had taken care of it for a long time. Black crows stood on dry branches, making ominous cries. In the distance, the setting sun was like blood, dyeing the ground red.
At this moment, she hated her own abilities so much, and everything was sliding towards that tragic ending.
"...When the disaster broke out, I fought my way out of a company full of zombies with just a baseball bat..." The man had entered a revolving lantern state, as if he was seeing the past scenes again, "I still remember that our boss was a disgusting old pervert. After he turned into a zombie, I blew his head off with a stick. By the way, girl, I remember you said that your father seemed to be a shareholder of our company..."
Yun Duoer finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell into the cemetery carrying the man. She supported the man's body and held him in her arms: "Yes, we have talked about these things many times in bed."
The girl's voice became extremely gentle, with just a hint of crying. She stroked the man's cheek, waiting for the final moment.
"But... I couldn't save my sister..."
Yun Duoer knew that the man's sister had died in the school and he was late. After all, he was alone and it took him a long time to get to the school early the next morning.
"...Over the years, I have been unable to help thinking that if I had arrived earlier, maybe I would have made it in time, and maybe everything would have been different..." The man rested his head on Yun Duoer's thighs, smiling bitterly and regretting, but it was already useless. The sadness of the past once again flooded his heart at the moment of death, and the man burst into tears. "She was scratched by a zombie, and she waited for a long time to wait for me, but she didn't make it... We were on the phone the whole time, and she reminded me on the phone to be careful and remember to eat and sleep on time..."
That happened seven or eight years ago, but it is a wound that will never heal for this man.
"I later found out that the girl from the Su family also died in that school... She and another girl were my sister's best friend..."
The man murmured about his past experiences, and his voice became weaker and weaker.
A drop of clear tear fell on the man's cheek. This already scarred man left only these words at the end of his life: "I'm sorry, Duo'er, I'm leaving first..."
“Uncle…Uncle…Brother Chu Xiao…” Yun Duo’er cried bitterly while hugging the middle-aged man who had already turned into a corpse. She suddenly opened her eyes, looked into the void, and shouted at the air, “I won’t let you take him away!”
Her tone was extremely ferocious, like a mother wolf protecting her cub, as if there really was something existing in the void before her eyes.
"He is my man! He belongs to me even in death!" The girl's emotions completely exploded because of the man's death. She stared at that empty place. In Yun Duoer's eyes, there existed a strange and blurry figure "there", as if countless human images overlapped and finally condensed into a beautiful face.
Yun Duoer had seen that face in the photos on the man’s cell phone.
It was the face of his dead sister.
Due to sadness and despair, the girl's abilities burst out almost as if she had overdrawn her vitality. She vaguely realized what she could do at this moment, and knew the price she would have to pay to do all this.
...She doesn't care about the price!
"I will save him! Yes, I will definitely save him!" The girl was almost crazy, shedding tears of blood, "I will find the most important node! We, my uncle, will definitely pull you, the so-called 'God', from the void into this damned world!"
The cloud declared fiercely to the void: "No matter how many times I have to repeat it!"
(ps: Here comes Yun Duo'er's extra chapter, which is a little different from the previous ones. This is the ending of the world line where Chu Xiao did not meet An Suxin and failed to rescue his sister and others. The setting of time cycle is now very common. Although it is really exciting, it will only appear in the extra chapters for now)
