Chapter 12: Lorne’s Death

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In Lin Dong’s previous life, after he inherited the Thunder Flash, the first thing he did after he temporarily evaded the pursuers was to read the relevant logs on the battleship’s optical computer.

Inside, the logs were like Lorne’s diary. He hated the Sylvester family very much. He would kill the entire Sylvester family, every one of them, not sparing even a single mouse.

Would Lorne let go such hatred just because his life was nearing its end?

Others might think so, but Lin Dong would not dare to believe him.

Lorne’s action was more of a test, to see what kind of attitude Lin Dong would have toward the Sylvester family.

If Lin Dong were to become enemies with the Sylvester family because of the Nano-bomb robots, but became friends with them after he deactivated the robots, he would probably die before Lorne died.

If things were as Lorne had said, he should deactivate the Nano-bomb robots for Lin Dong’s sake.

Various thoughts flashed across Lorne’s mind. If he could ask such a question, it meant that he was really running out of time. Hence, Lin Dong had to pass the final test no matter what.

Lin Dong opened his mouth and said, “Mr. Lorne, from the moment I inherited your Thunder Flash, we have formed an unresolvable enmity with the Sylvester family. There is no basis for us to coexist.”

“Perhaps I’m unable to shock the Sylvester family now. Maybe I’m still unable to fight them. However, it’s precisely because of this that I have no room for compromise. Even if I surrender and hand over the battleship, the Sylvester family will not let me off. They’ll definitely think that I’m hiding something else.”

“I don’t intend to hand over my life to the Sylvester family. I also don’t wish to die at the hands of the Sylvester family.”

“Therefore, the Sylvester family has become my enemy. This can’t be changed.”

“I’ll use the Thunder Flash to strengthen myself. I’ll inflict heavy damage to the Sylvester family in the future. This is the goal I want to accomplish.”

“Even if I can’t achieve it, I’ll kill more of the Sylvester family’s direct descendants.”

Lorne still looked like he was about to die. However, he tilted his head slightly and said, “It’s fate that we meet. I’m very confident with my choice. Not bad, kid. Keep it up.”

“I believe that you’ll choose the path that is most beneficial to you. As I said before, don’t underestimate the Sylvester family.”

“When you are free, take a look at the data and battle records in the battleship’s optical computer. I’ve accumulated a lot of records in my entire life.”

“Although it’s not much, you can learn as much as you can.”

Lin Dong nodded his head, as it was silence in the command cabin. Both of them did not open their mouths to talk.

Lin Dong carefully looked at Lorne, who was lying on the chair. At this moment, his eyes were completely shut. If it was not for his heart beating from time to time, he would really be no different from a dead person.

It seemed that Lorne would not test Lin Dong anymore.

Lin Dong heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. If he made a mistake in the final step, he would be angered to death.

He turned his attention back to the imaging map on the detection radar.

In Lin Dong’s previous life, the Thunder Flash had been caught up. This meant that the Sylvester family had piloted the battleship into the mining area. The result given by the reactor did not have a specific image, so it was hard to say what exactly it was.

However, Lin Dong needed to react based on his pursuers’ movements.

It showed great effect after Lin Dong had changed the direction of the reactor. However, if the pursuers could detect it once, they would be able to detect it a second time. Therefore, he could not be careless.

In a situation where Lin Dong was not powerful enough to fight with them, he needed to be more cautious and careful.

When he saw that the Thunder Flash had arrived at the designated location, he drew out a map and randomly pointed out a location.

For the next 10 hours, he would repeat the same operation.

He did not allow the Thunder Flash to stay in 1 place for more than half an hour.

The Thunder Flash was constantly moving.

Throughout the entire process, Lin Dong did not turn his head to look at Lorne. He was afraid that it would trigger Lorne. Therefore, it was best for him to quietly spend the last few hours of his life.

This continued until Lin Dong once again checked the imaging map on the detection radar and was prepared to inform Lorne of the next location.

When Lin Dong turned his head, he realized that Lorne was no longer breathing and his heart was no longer beating. The venom had infected his entire heart.

The treatment device had stopped working too.

Lin Dong kept quiet as he bowed.

“Mr. Lorne, if I throw your body into space, it’s likely that something bad will happen to your body if they find your body. Since this battleship is yours, I’ll let you stay with the Thunder Flash.”

“I’ll place you in the engine compartment. When your body turns to ashes, I hope that you will be with the Thunder Flash forever.”

Although Lin Dong had encountered all sorts of tests in the process of inheriting the battleship, no matter what, Lorne had given him an important asset.

This was the key to changing fate.

Therefore, Lin Dong had to express his gratitude after Lorne died.

“Leave the rest of your wishes to me. Regardless of whether it’s the hatred of the Sylvester family or the remaining members of your family, if I meet them, I will do my best.”

Lin Dong stood up, waved his hand and summoned the 2 robots at the command cabin door. He let the robots to send Lorne’s body into the engine compartment.

After doing all this, Lin Dong heaved a sigh of relief.

Previously, he was on pins and needles. That was not a good feeling at all.

After all, Lorne possessed the ability to kill Lin Dong at any time. Moreover, there were many things that he could not reveal. Hence, he had to act like a newbie. Not only would disguising himself consume spiritual energy, it would also be a great burden on his mental.

It would be difficult for Lin Dong to explain himself if Lorne found out something.

Lin Dong shook his neck. He took a few steps forward and sat on the commander’s seat.

His entire demeanor immediately changed as he emitted a stern killing intent from within. This was something that he had nurtured during his 10 years as a commander.

Fortunately, Lorne had been sitting on the commander’s seat previously. If Lin Dong was allowed to sit on it, he would definitely be exposed.

“We have finally met again. I won’t let them tear you apart again.”

Lin Dong patted the armrests on both sides of the seat as he sighed.

He endured the provocation from the miners and pretended to be a newbie all the way. Finally, he managed to endure through it.

Although he was happy to do it again, the meaning of it would be much worse if he did not obtain the Thunder Flash.

There were many things that could not be done without sufficient combat power.

Lin Dong sat on the commander’s seat and rotated twice. He changed his previous unfamiliarity with operating the battleship. He randomly pressed a few buttons and continued to pilot his Thunder Flash. After which, he entered the data room at the bottom level.

Unlike the simple data that he had previously inquired about, Lin Dong clicked on the detailed full attribute mode this time.

Spark battleship. Thunder Flash. Overall combat power LV6.

Remaining source points: 15. Source point acquisition rate: 25% .
