In the afternoon, the setting sun shines on the turbid river surface, giving the ochre-colored water a layer of shimmering light.
At this moment, a huge ship broke through the river and went upstream.
The snowflake emblem on the dark hull indicates its ownership: the Citroën Mechanical Company.
The cargo ship had just passed the river bend and entered the relatively calm river section west of Mao City when something strange happened!
Several dark shadows suddenly emerged from both sides of the river and rushed directly to the deck of the cargo ship.
The attackers' actions immediately triggered the ship's defense system, and the psychic protective net instantly enveloped the hull.
At the same time, in the cargo ship's bridge, an intrusion alarm was received.
The numerous Citroën employees who operate various parts of the ship are neatly dispersed in different areas, each performing their own duties.
The entire cargo ship seemed like an awakened beast. The output of psychic energy in the core power reactor suddenly increased, and the energy was transmitted along the psychic metal to all parts of the hull.
Then, a row of gun barrels emerged from the upper middle part of both sides of the hull.
The shells made of psychic metal are loaded, charged and fired in one go.
The metal shells were wrapped in a thick layer of spiritual energy and crashed directly into the guys who were attacking the protective net.
Less than half a minute after the attack, the first wave of counterattack began.
"Bang! Bang!..."
A series of explosions sounded from the sky above the turbid water.
Those psychic cannons, whose structures were far less complex than the missiles that Zi Sui had imagined, were no less powerful.
The invaders who faced the first round of artillery fire retreated on the spot.
"What? You can actually repel us?"
A figure in a black robe subconsciously exclaimed in a low voice.
"What? The psychic cannon can only repel them?"
On the other side, someone in the control room also exclaimed.
Seeing that things were not going well, the liaison officer next to him immediately dialed the company's internal communication equipment.
"This is the A1-005 freight ship. We were ambushed in the western part of Mao City."
"Currently, there are 12 attackers in total. Preliminary estimates suggest their strength is between the third and fifth realms of the Earth Realm."
"Requesting support!"
After sending the distress message, the liaison officer immediately switched the frequency of the communication equipment and began sending information to the Mao City Defense.
Sadly, all communications were cut off.
The liaison officer looked anxiously at the spinning dashboard. The column showing spiritual energy was obviously exceeding the limit.
The intense psychic energy fluctuations disrupted the free psychic energy nearby, and the psychic energy waves for communication were blocked outside.
The black-robed people outside the ship naturally knew the situation clearly. If the news got out, they would definitely not be able to stop the goods.
If they can't stop them, their lives may be in danger.
After all, the Third Prince, to whom they are loyal, is not a kind-hearted person.
Failure of the mission is tantamount to death.
"Everyone, mobilize your psychic energy with all your might and force your way through the protective net."
"clear!"
After the first round of artillery fire ended and the second round was being loaded, a huge wave of psychic energy spread out.
The muddy water supporting the cargo ship was moved by this energy, and the muddy yellow river water turned into thick tentacles that bound the cargo ship.
"Oh no! The protection net's recognition system will automatically exclude the isolation of rivers, lakes, and seawater."
This was originally set up to ensure smooth navigation, but now it has become a breakthrough point for the enemy.
Although it only takes ten seconds to shut down the identification system, it is a joint attack from the twelve realms.
Not to mention ten seconds, even one second is enough to break through the defense.
“Crack!”
The crisp sound echoed across both sides of the muddy water. Zi Sui watched from a distance as the black-robed figures quickly rushed onto the deck.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of fighting blew along the river breeze into Zi Sui's ears.
Although he couldn't see what was happening inside the cabin, he guessed that it would be a close combat.
The fighting continued for a long time as neither side wanted to damage the hull or cargo.
It lasted so long that Zi Sui started to eat the crystals of blood and flesh, and it lasted so long from the afternoon to dusk.
The setting sun suddenly changed from a gentle light gold to a blood-red orange.
The crew members who were resisting stubbornly on the ship reacted belatedly.
"Why haven't we sent a message back to headquarters in such a long time? Has the backup not arrived yet?"
This very important cargo ship will definitely send signals back to the company regularly.
Now that the signal has been intercepted, it stands to reason that the head office should send someone to confirm it soon.
"Bang!"
With the last sound, the winner was decided in the cabin.
At this moment, the cargo ship drifting on the river was as blood-red as the setting sun that was shining all over the ship.
Both sides are hurt, the time has come.
Zi Sui hid in the space, and with a wave of his wings, he rushed directly onto the deck and flew into the broken hatch.
Inside the cabin, all you could see was a large amount of blood mixed with dust and debris.
They meandered across the ground and painted on the walls, and the sheer number of them was far greater than the result of the deaths of one or two people.
Zi Sui obviously adapted well to this horrific scene, and Yu Fen was released to look for the surviving dying ones.
The moment he stepped onto the floor of the cabin, a large piece of armor broke away and took root in the metal hull filled with psychic energy.
Then, as he walked forward, a piece of armor fell off every time he walked a certain distance.
The spatial attribute was unexpectedly useful in finding people, and soon the last victim who was hiding was found.
"What the hell are you...!"
The black-robed figure standing in a pool of blood had his neck strangled, and all his companions were lying in a mess nearby.
Zi Sui didn't waste any more time and crushed his neck directly.
