The men from the Second Military Academy pointed and whispered on their wrecked cruiser: "What is he doing? Have the mech pilots of their First Army gone mad? Why are they cutting off the tentacles of a mutated octopus?"
"To keep as a souvenir?"
"Wow, that's insane! Killing it wasn't enough, they had to keep it as a souvenir? This mutated octopus must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to run into this bunch of freaks!"
"Look, look, he wasn't satisfied with just one, so he cut two more!"
"Not only that! He's still cutting, one, two, three... Look, now there are eight. Even if you want to keep them as souvenirs, you don't need so many, do you?"
Jin Shuo, who was busy slicing mutated octopus tentacles, exclaimed, "Haha, I'm rich! How long are we going to keep eating all these octopus legs?"
The surrounding mech soldiers exclaimed, "Edible?" "That's great!" and quickly cooperated with Jin Shuo's actions, soon each of them was carrying an octopus leg.
If Jin Shuo said it was edible, then it must be edible. They all knew that Sister Lin, who cooked so well, was acquainted with Jin Shuo. Upon hearing that it was edible, they were even more excited than Jin Shuo himself.
Everyone in the Second Army: ………………? ?
Food?
"This thing is edible? Have you ever tried it?"
The others shook their heads: "No, we've never eaten it. In my mind, we can't eat anything from the ocean. Are they starving? They're even eating marine life?"
They were speechless, because they had never witnessed Lin Yiran's culinary skills and naturally did not know that there were so many delicious foods in the world.
Seeing that Jin Shuo was about to continue harvesting, Sen Qi'an's eyebrows twitched: "Alright, Jin Shuo, get back to the team!"
Jin Shuo finally stopped, ordering the mecha soldiers carrying octopus legs who were following behind to catch up. They were heading back to base to continue their seafood feast that night!
Nothing can stop them from having a seafood feast!
But after returning to the ocean-going ship...
Everyone was dumbfounded.
"What? You said Lin Mo is missing?" Sen Qi'an frowned as he watched An Peipei crying, which annoyed him. However, thinking that Lin Mo was so capable, he figured she should be alright, so he forced himself to calm down and had someone pour An Peipei a glass of water so she could tell him slowly.
An Peipei: "I, I won't drink it. I, I was with Lin Mo when I fell into the water. I was crawling in front of her, and she was crawling behind me. But after I got out, I searched everywhere and couldn't find her. I searched the whole boat, but she wasn't there... Waaah..."
Sen Qi'an: "Who went down to rescue people just now? Did they manage to pull Lin Mo up?"
A row of mech soldiers stood in front of them, and they all shook their heads.
Sen Qi'an's heart sank to the bottom. Lin Mo had no mental power and couldn't pilot the mecha. If she really fell into the water and encountered danger, it would be impossible to defend against. Moreover, the resistance of the water would greatly reduce the effectiveness of her superpower.
Honestly, something might have happened.
Just as Jin Shuo and his men placed the octopus legs in the back warehouse, he turned around and saw everyone lined up with serious expressions. Confused, he asked, "Where's Lin Mo? I didn't see her when I went to the back warehouse to hand over the work to her."
Then he saw An Peipei's face covered in tears. His expression stiffened for a moment, and looking at Sen Qi'an's heavy eyes, he asked, "It can't be... No way..."
But the atmosphere was so strange that no one dared to speak loudly.
Sen Qi'an: "Contact the school quickly. If Lin Mo really fell into the water, she's probably already..." in grave danger. The seabed is so dangerous; even if she doesn't suffocate, she'll be eaten alive by those large mutated aquatic beasts, leaving not even bones behind.
He feared that if it were any later, they might not even be able to find Lin Mo's body.
"Report! A discovery has been made here!"
The soldier at the control panel pointed to a screen; it was a camera mounted on the ship's hull. The one on the left was damaged, but the one on the right could still barely capture half of Lin Mo's body.
In the scene, Lin Mo was about to reach the rope to board the cruiser when a hand reached out from the side. Without thinking, Lin Mo handed the hand over, and then a heart-wrenching scene unfolded.
When the mecha soldier took Lin Mo's hand, his first action wasn't to pull her up, but to drag her straight down.
The footage clearly shows Lin Mo's body disappearing into the water, and it took a long time for someone to take her place and climb up using a rope.
At this moment, someone spoke up again: "Report, we have discovered that one of our first army's... mech pilots... is missing." The man stammered and could barely continue.
Sen Qi'an's expression hardened, and he instantly understood what was going on.
He looked at Jin Shuo, who was standing beside him with an incredulous expression, and asked, "Has Lin Mo ever offended anyone?"
It's impossible for them to have a grudge against her during the competition, since the atmosphere in their team is very good. It can only mean that Lin Mo has offended someone outside, and that someone deliberately sent an undercover agent to wait for an opportunity to take action against Lin Mo.
Jin Shuo was stunned and didn't know what to say.
Did you offend anyone?
Of course! He knew very well who Lin Yiran had offended.
To this, he could only say in a trembling voice, "Notify the military academy instructors."
"And the Murong family, I think they can also do their part."
He looked unwell and kept sighing. Sen Qi'an realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately reported to the military academy teachers that one of their students had been taken away.
However, he still didn't know what kind of people Lin Mo could have offended at such a young age.
Jin Shuo said dejectedly, "She...she was previously on the Divine Eye Society's kill list."
The other military academy students discussed among themselves, "The Divine Eye Society? What is that? Is it a gang? Is he on their kill list? ... This seems pretty serious."
Sen Qi'an's heart skipped a beat: Well, this is it, how could it have gotten so deep?
"Who exactly is Lin Mo? Why did she get involved with someone like that?" He was genuinely curious.
Just then, Jin Shuo seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes lit up as he said, "Tell the military academy teacher to also tell the Lin family about Lin Yiran's disappearance!"
Sen Qi'an: "The Lin family of the capital city? Lin Mo is related to the Lin family? But why is she called Lin Yiran now?"
"Which one is her real name?" He just didn't understand, and he really didn't expect that a competition could be so thrilling and exciting. Lin Mo was worth the other party lurking in three competitions before taking her away.
Jin Shuo: "This is a long story. I'll tell you all about it later after I've sorted things out. I'm also very confused right now, I..."
Seeing that Jin Shuo looked unwell, Sen Qi'an went over and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, since they're willing to infiltrate three matches just to take Lin Mo away, it proves they don't intend to kill her. Otherwise, they would have made their move from the start. At least she's not in mortal danger right now."
"I immediately sent people down in speedboats to search; the other party shouldn't have gone far."
