“That’s a Level Three Predator!! Oh my God!” Malone yelled.

“Run!!!” Garen had only seen that Predator from afar but could already feel a faint piercing pain in his eyes. Level Three Predators were equivalent to first-rate Level Three Mech Pilots. He would not be afraid if he still had his initial Willpower, but now that a sea of Predators was chasing him, even the strongest Mech Pilot that ventured into those dangerous waters would die if they were not of Inherited Level. Moreover, his combat Willpower had become useless long ago. Therefore, he could only rely on his non-combative Willpower that was not even a complete system yet.

The Flying Ship increased its speed and moved forward. However, it had already reached its maximum load, making it impossible for the Ship to increase its speed now. In the end, there was no way for them to dodge the gigantic metal fragment that was rushing at them from behind.

Bang!!

After a heavy collision noise could be heard, the fragment that was spinning quickly penetrated the back half of the Flying Ship immediately. It seemed as if it had embedded itself inside suddenly, piercing the back of the Flying Ship deeply. The screw rudders that were still rotating earlier were immediately smashed to the point where they had twisted and broke off. The entire Flying Ship had become terribly slanted and almost penetrated the ground.

It was fortunate that the Flying Ship’s anti-gravity and acceleration systems were located at the bottom of the Ship. Otherwise, the motive power that propelled the Ship forward would be destroyed immediately.

Garen, Malone, and East Perrin had panicked expressions on their faces inside the cockpit. After charging through the sea of Predators and seeing a glimmer of hope, none of them wanted to fall so easily here.

“Fire backwards!” Garen commanded.

Without needing to be ordered, the people in the cabin at the back of the Flying Ship had already steadied their bodies and started to shoot at the back.

The previous collision had killed two people immediately. This caused the remaining people who were frightened earlier to explode madly with rage now. The operated the machine guns and raked the back with continuous machine gunfire maniacally as if they were leaning towards this fearful mentality.

After the resistance from the chains of bullets from four machine guns, the speed of the Level Three Predator behind them slowed down. The bullets that hit his body ricocheted off continuously. He did not have a single scar and chose to ignore them completely. However, his speed was slightly decreased because of this. After a few tries, the Level Three Predator had realized that it was impossible for him to chase the Flying Ship. He had also separated himself from the rest of the group and was too far away from them now. Therefore, he could only turn around and leave angrily.

Black smoke was coming out of the tail end of the Flying Ship. After moving forward crookedly and escaping for a certain distance, it was barely able to keep itself from falling completely. It moved shakily and flew forward while enduring everything continuously.

Ten minutes later, the crowd was still on edge. They did not dare to relax because they were afraid that another sudden ambush would occur again. However, misfortune did not befall them.

The Flying Ship finally left the region where the Predators had gathered. When they could no longer see a single red dot on the sensor, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“We’re safe…”

“Finally safe!!”

“Fanny! Are you okay? Fanny!” Inside the passenger cabin, other than the two corpses that were rolled up and taken outside, another person had their pulmonary lobe pierced by a piece of gigantic metal fragment that had flew over and penetrated the Flying Ship. Only when they had relaxed did they realize that his lower body was covered and overflowing with fresh blood. However, this person did not seem to understand the current situation. He had only realized that his hand were covered in blood when he wiped the wound near his lungs.

“Where are the hemostatic drugs?! Hurry! Hemostatic drugs!” yelled Sinno when he rushed over and covered Fanny’s wound.

“There are infectious reactions! Damn! There are germs and viruses from the Predator!!” screamed the youth that had defied Garen previously.

“Shut up!”

Whack!

Sinno slapped him painfully.

Someone brought over the remaining bits of hemostatic medicine and other drugs that could resist infections.

“I’ve lost too much blood. I know that I can’t go on any longer so don’t waste the medicine on me,” Fanny smiled, his face devoid of any signs of rosiness.

“How could that be?! Fanny, there’s nothing wrong with you! Nothing at all!!” yelled Sinno. She and Fanny had an intriguing relationship. They were like comrades-in-arms that had a friendship where they could live peacefully while relying on the other person. However, they were also like brother and sister. Fanny would always help Sinno check her openings and plug her loopholes when she was not paying attention.

“He’s already been infected! There’s no cure!! We can’t waste the medicine on him! This belongs to all of us!!!” yelled the youth again despite being hit earlier. The slap had caused both of his eyes to turn bright red while one of his cheeks had immediately swelled up badly.

“Damn! I freaking told you to shut up!!” Suddenly, Sinno threaded on his abdomen with one foot and kicked the fellow two meters away, causing him to nearly fall out of the gap at the end of the damaged Flying Ship.

“Say another word and I’ll kill you!!” Sinno glared at him fiercely. Her body was trembling as she pointed at the youth, as if she could murder him at any time.

“This medicine was originally retrieved by both Sinno and Fanny. It’s only right that we use it on them,” said a boy quietly with a slightly sentimental look on his face. He was one of the two children who had brought the medicine.

The hemostatic medicine was applied on Fanny’s wound evenly. However, it could not stop the edges of the wound from being infected continuously. The edges started to turn purple rapidly and lose its elasticity. It slowly began to release a rotten stench as well.

“Don’t waste it.” Fanny tried to move away but was firmly held in place by Sinno.

In the radiation belt, a little bit of medicine was the price to pay in exchange for a life many times. Therefore, all medicine was more valuable than gold and much more expensive than it as well.

Only four adults were left at the back of the Flying Ship. Both of the children had remained unharmed because they hid themselves in the safety of the middle of the Flying Ship. If Fanny died, Sinno, the middle-aged woman, and the male youth would be the only three adults left.

After the catastrophe within the vast Leo City, there were only these few people left. The atmosphere inside the Flying Ship was clearly much more desolate now.

“That’s right! Mr. Garen! Mr. Garen is amazing so it’s possible that he might have a solution?!” yelled the boy suddenly.

These words instantly lit up the eyes of the other people.

Indeed, Garen had been mysterious ever since he showed up. He was even able to use his mysterious means to create a large herd of Big Wild Wolves that were used as his strong wild animal-like pets to help everyone defend the area. If it was not for him, none of the people here would have survived.

If the seven Big Wild Wolves were not there, the Predator that was hiding inside the city would have devoured and killed everyone.

It was not an understatement to say that Garen had saved everyone here.

“I’ll go look for him!”

Sinno bounced up quickly and rushed towards the cockpit in front like a cheetah.

She pushed the door open instantly but did not run inside when she saw Garen walking towards her while furrowing his eyebrows.

“You don’t have to call me. I’ve seen your circumstances.”

He quickly walked towards Fanny and crouched down beside his body while checking his wound for a little while.

The wound was located at the left side of his lungs. It was so severe that it affected Fanny’s breathing, forcing him to take big gulps of air while gasping for breath. Murmuring noises escaped his throat occasionally, making it obvious that the internal bleeding in his lungs was getting more serious.

He checked Fanny’s pulse and noticed that it was very fast while his breathing was rapid and his complexion was getting paler. His blood pressure was gradually lowering as well.

Click click click! Garen snapped his fingers three times and tapped the main arteries throughout Fanny’s body that were connected to his lungs a few times. He used his pressure points, a jolting technique and coupled it with his own Cold Radiation to freeze Fanny’s blood vessels temporarily.

“What does it feel like?” he asked quickly.

“Cold… So cold…” Fanny’s lips had started to turn purple.

Garen pressed his hand against Fanny’s wound before a thin layer of ice rapidly formed there. Other than the affected external wound, the ice moved inside and froze the internal injuries in his lungs completely as well. In a place where the lines of vision of others could not reach, thin blue strands shot out of Garen’s fingertip at once. It burrowed into Fanny’s lungs and began to hungrily devour the blood that had accumulated there. It resembled a little snake that was swallowing something delicious.

Less than ten seconds later, it had devoured the accumulated blood in Fanny’s lungs completely.

“The issue of blood in his lungs has been solved. The infection however…” Garen retracted the strands from the Living Secret Technique and stood up while furrowing his eyebrows. “I’m unfamiliar with the Predator’s virus and I’ve never researched it. I don’t have any experimental apparatus here either, so I don’t have a solution for now.”

“What apparatus do you need?!” Sinno stood up. Her posture indicated that she would go and get anything that Garen required immediately.

“You won’t be able to get any of them in time,” Garen shook his head.

“I swear I’ll give you anything you want as long as you save him!!” growled Sinno softly. Both of her eyes were bloodshot and her hands were curled into tight fists.

Fanny’s consciousness had become blurry now, making it seem as if he was about to fall into shock soon. Garen stepped forward and quickly tapped some of his pressure points lightly while using his Secret Technique to temporarily stabilize the situation to the best of his abilities.

“You swear to give me anything I want?” Garen sneered. “What right do you have to say that? Do you really think you can give me what I desire? Don’t say silly things if you don’t know anything.”

Sinno clenched her fists tightly while her entire body trembled. She resembled a fierce beast that could go crazy at any time.

Ahh!!!!

She howled furiously as if she wanted to release all of the pain in her mind by yelling.

“I have only one solution which will barely sustain his life. However, the repercussions of this solution are extremely severe. From today onwards, his life will not be his own but will be completely controlled by me instead,” Garen opened his mouth and said slowly. “Moreover, he could become a terrifying monster at any time.”

“As long as he survives anything is fine!” Sinno nodded firmly. She immediately made the decision on behalf of Fanny who was no longer conscious.

“Alright!”

Garen nodded and knelt down. He had swallowed a lot of highly radioactive Nutritional Liquid and his body was filled with Distorted Seeds. Therefore, he could release them as he pleased now. The Distorted Seed seemed like a living creature that possessed numerous octopus tentacles that were waving about. Garen pressed it against Fanny’s chest gently.

Since he was moving at rapid speed, no one could clearly see the thing in his hand. They could only see a blue shadow that flashed past.

From the perspective of an outsider, it seemed as though Garen had simply pressed an open palm against Fanny’s chest where his heart was located.

“Alright, wait for it to be over,” Garen stood up. Despite not knowing the power of the Predator’s virus, he was extremely confident with the strength of his Hellfrost Peacock. The Hellfrost Peacock was considered a frightening beast in the universe that could rule the whole world. Although the ‘world’ in that context was referring to a planet, he could still see the magnitude of the power of Hellfrost Peacock that belonged to the Planet Overlord Level.

If the Predator virus did not belong to the Planet Overlord Level, it would merely be nutrients for the Hellfrost Peacock’s Distorted Seed.

The effects were truly fast as well. Right after he placed the Distorted Seed inside Fanny’s body, his condition improved rapidly. His breathing gradually regained its vigor and his heart rate slowly returned to normal too. The infections in his wound did not worsen and the only thing that shocked the others was the light gray outer shell layer that started to cover his entire body faintly. It seemed like a layer of scales.

“These are special cells that I retrieved from the bodies of the mutated creatures. I can control them to strengthen the bodies of other people. Nothing happens when they are not activated but once that happens, the side effects will be terrifying. He will immediately become a powerful monster that will slaughter everyone but me.”
