"I can't replace Maru Qingge to go to the rocket base, and I can't control the signal like you can," Lin Sanjiu chuckled, even though Han Suiping, who was sitting opposite her, couldn't see her. "The only thing I can do is to risk myself."
She paused for a moment before adding, "I know you're worried about my safety … but life and death are fated. After the high temperature in my hometown, I've already earned it for the past ten years. "
Han Suiping didn't say anything. Lin Sanjiu guessed that her disciple was probably feeling sad. Sure enough, when Han Suiping spoke again, his voice was a little hoarse, "Then, you must be careful."
"Don't worry," Lin Sanjiu patted his shoulder and said, "Have you forgotten? I just found a new secret weapon. "
Han Suiping grunted, but the worry in his voice didn't lessen. It was obvious that he didn't buy it.
He was still in the "bonus period" when he had just evolved, so his abilities were increasing rapidly. He hadn't really been affected by the degeneration yet. While he was improving by leaps and bounds, Lin Sanjiu's abilities were deteriorating rapidly. The contrast between their abilities had even begun to reverse. When she realized that she couldn't handle the physical exhaustion from training more than Han Suiping, Lin Sanjiu stopped training him two days ago.
Other than the effects of the world and the adrenaline, there was another reason why her abilities were declining so rapidly — the kidney formed by the black mist.
"Besides, I still have a lot of Special Items," Lin Sanjiu comforted him again. "It's about time, I have to go. You have to be careful. "
Maru Qingge and Nüyue had already set off, so it was time for her to set up a smokescreen and create a diversion.
After the two of them said their goodbyes, she quietly left the place where Han Suiping was hiding. Even if the information about Han Suiping's ability was leaked, even if they started searching for Han Suiping, they probably wouldn't expect him to be hiding in that place …
Lin Sanjiu landed on the rooftop of a small building. Her knees buckled, and she quickly bent down to steady herself. This building was only about twenty meters away from the previous one, but she almost didn't jump over. When she landed, her legs even scraped against the concrete wall.
"Before things get better, they always get worse."
She gasped and straightened. The horizon in the distance shone brightly under the setting sun. Countless light red and golden rays shattered between the waves, like sparks falling from the golden red sky. The ships anchored at the port stood silently in the twilight of the setting sun, forming a black silhouette.
Why was he so calm?
Lin Sanjiu looked at the ship in the distance and hesitated for the first time.
"If we calculate according to the accelerated rate of your deterioration," Han Suiping's voice sounded in her mind again, "then by around nine to ten o 'clock tonight, you will completely become an ordinary person."
That was the day before yesterday. At that time, she had evaluated the rate of her degeneration and given a numerical ratio. Han Suiping had written a simple calculation software and given a deadline.
It was 5: 40 in the afternoon. She still had four to five hours before her ability ran out.
She had more than enough time, but she had already "publicized" the fact that they were going to rob the ship through the communicator. She wouldn't have been surprised if the pier was under martial law and was guarded by a large number of armed guards. However, now that she looked at it, she realized that the Copper Pier was as peaceful as an oil painting.
'Did He Huan not hand over her communicator? Did they not get distracted by her fake plan? '
Lin Sanjiu exhaled a little impatiently. She decided to attack first before thinking about anything else. Even though the rocket project was their main escape route, it would be good if they could get their hands on a ship just in case.
She continued to move forward from the top of the building. When there were no more buildings, she jumped onto the flyover highway that connected the pier and the city. Countless shipping containers and gigantic machines that she couldn't name were spread out under the highway. It looked like a giant factory.
After passing through the cargo terminal, Lin Sanjiu saw a few fishing boats anchored at the port in the distance.
The girl's voice reached her ears when she was halfway there.
"I'm sorry, but I can't let you go any further."
Lin Sanjiu stopped abruptly and stared at the direction where the voice came from. A few 40-foot shipping containers were stacked on top of each other, giving off an oppressive feeling like a high-rise building. A figure slowly walked out from behind the container at the bottom.
Lin Sanjiu had never seen the girl before, but the girl's aura as a posthuman immediately struck her mind.
The girl seemed to be trying to force a smile at Lin Sanjiu, but she didn't succeed. Her eyes were soft and bright, and the corners of her lips were sharp. She had a pretty face. She was wearing a combat suit and a black singlet, and she was holding a gun in her hand.
Her ability had probably been corrupted by this world. If it was before, Lin Sanjiu wouldn't have cared about such a standard at all. However, the place where the girl was standing now was like a tall mountain. Lin Sanjiu knew that the road ahead was going to be difficult.
"Who are you?" Lin Sanjiu asked.
The girl lowered her eyelids. Compared to Lin Sanjiu's calm demeanor, the girl's expression was even worse. It was as if she was the one being intercepted. "I … I'm Zheng Aiai."
The name didn't mean anything to Lin Sanjiu.
"You don't know me," the girl said. Even though she was fully armed, she looked more and more embarrassed. "My other name … is an internet username. I don't know if you've heard of it … 'I'm irreconcilable with Hami Melon'."
Lin Sanjiu felt as if she had been pricked.
"Hami Melon?" She took a deep breath and asked, "Why are you in this country?"
At that moment, her mind turned to the worst possibility. She couldn't even care about logic anymore. Hami Melon wasn't a posthuman from another country. There were no other countries in this world. She was a trap. She sent Han Suiping here because it was a trap. Han Suiping was a trap …
Lin Sanjiu cut off her wild train of thoughts. There were very few people in this world that she could trust, but Han Suiping should be one of them.
"Since you've heard of me, it means that the person I'm communicating with has found you, right?" Zheng Aiai heaved a sigh of relief. "Is he still safe?"
It was rare for Lin Sanjiu to meet someone who would start a conversation with her without even forgetting that she was holding a gun.
"Why are you here?" Lin Sanjiu's expression turned cold as she asked again.
Zheng Aiai seemed to have just been reminded, and the somewhat embarrassed expression from before floated up again.
"I'm not the only posthuman patrolling and lying in ambush at this port. All the agents in our bureau are also posthuman. We've been waiting for your arrival. " She smiled bitterly and said, "As for why I'm in this country, the answer is simple … We, along with other posthuman agents from seven other countries, got off the plane yesterday."
Lin Sanjiu looked at her without moving.
"This country has requested for help in the encirclement. We … are here to provide international support."
