Chapter 236 Golden Knight
Chapter 236 Golden Knight
On the dock, the speedboat prepared by Sea King drifted aimlessly, and although Su Chen and his companions were weary from the journey, they dared not delay a moment longer, untying the mooring rope and starting the engine right away.
Su Chen piloted one boat alone while two Shadow Guards manned the other.
The speedboat zipped through the waves like a whirlwind, and at this moment, Su Chen was still excited.
He had thought for sure he would be too late, coming here partly resigned to fate after having done what he could.
Otherwise, if those people had indeed used Doctor Gaia to make significant strides in human genetic modification, then surely more innocents would suffer, and how could he be at peace with his conscience?
But what he hadn't expected was that there might actually be a chance of catching up!
"No matter who you are, you won't get away with this this time!"
Su Chen thought to himself that he would rather kill Doctor Gaia than allow him to fall into their hands if it came down to it.
Of course, as long as there was the slightest chance, Su Chen would do his utmost to rescue him.
However, the current difficulty was that although their speedboats were faster than the adversary's cruise ship, they had no idea where the latter was in the vast sea!
Even though Sea King said they had headed toward South America, the sea was so vast, how could they possibly find them?
And what if the other party suddenly changed course?
But hope was right in front of them; giving up was simply not an option!
After traveling for more than two hours, Su Chen instructed the two Shadow Guards to separate from him by a distance and search; if they found any trace of the enemy, they were to immediately shoot a signal flare.
As Su Chen steered the speedboat, he kept an eye on the vessels on the sea, his hair tousled by the wind and his clothes making a swishing noise.
However, another two hours passed with no results, and Su Chen's mood inevitably grew heavier.
Su Chen couldn't help but curse as he looked out at the boundless sea:
"Damn it! Where the hell are these bastards!"
Just then, Su Chen's eyes suddenly lit up as he saw a small wooden carving floating on the sea surface not far ahead...
His heart skipped a beat, and he slowly approached; when he picked up the small wooden carving, he became immensely excited.
It was a human figure carving that bore a slight resemblance to Doctor Gaia. Su Chen knew this was a birthday gift from Doctor Gaia's daughter, which he had always carried close to his body and never left behind!
"Heaven helps those who help themselves!"
Su Chen kissed the carving fervently and then launched a signal flare.
It wasn't long before Su Chen and the two Shadow Guards were very close to the cruise ship, which was already within a blind spot for the artillery—it simply couldn't hit them.
Taking advantage of this, Su Chen and the two Shadow Guards leaped onto the deck.
Right at that moment, twenty or thirty blond, blue-eyed individuals suddenly emerged from nowhere.
Su Chen recognized at a glance that these people were Gene Modifiers, and like the ones from before, they were all second generation!
"Kill!"
Without any hesitation towards these people, Su Chen bellowed an attack and took the lead in charging forward.
Seeing their master take action, the two Shadow Guards naturally did not want to fall behind and also tightly grasped their daggers, rushing into the fight.
Although the Gene Modifiers were physically strong, they were no match for Su Chen and the two Shadow Guards in the night. After all, these were only second-generation Modifiers! Stay updated through My Virtual Library Empire
They understood that these people were merely cannon fodder.
Soon, Su Chen and his companions had dealt with these individuals cleanly, and the commander in the command room trembled as he watched the scene unfold.
What kind of monsters were these?
"Clap clap clap~~~"
Just then, a round of applause abruptly rang out, and several figures emerged from within the cabin.
"The Sea King truly lives up to his name. To think that your Dantian could recover so quickly after being shattered, and even reclaiming such a realm, I must admit I'm impressed!"
One of them clapped and laughed. Although his mouth spoke words of admiration, there was no hint of real respect in his expression.
A total of seven individuals had emerged, all wearing diagonal collared garments made of what seemed like satin, with their hemlines stretching down below their knees and all collars standing upright.
Three of them were dressed in golden clothing which sparkled under the sunlight, while the other four were dressed in silver, exuding an air of nobility!
They all wore a proud expression as if they were naturally superior!
In reality, they too were somewhat surprised. How did he get here? The organization hadn't sent any message!
It seemed he had come covertly, and yet he had arrived so swiftly.
However, upon seeing these individuals, Su Chen's face was covered with a bone-chilling frost, his eyes filled with a cold intensity!
He clearly remembered those who had ambushed him more than a year ago, causing his Dantian to shatter and forcing him to leap off a cliff. Their attire was identical to that of the people before him now!
And those in the golden clothes also made Su Chen involuntarily recall the term "Golden Knight" previously mentioned by Victor.
