She was still holding Caesar and Chu Zihang in her arms, both of whom were already unconscious.
Mai Shude was actually seriously injured, accidentally caused by Erii Uesugi's Word of Power: Judgment.
However, she couldn't afford to treat her injuries; she had to find a way to get these three people away from this area.
Fortunately, with the Little Dragon Man mode enabled, she swam extremely fast and quickly covered several kilometers, temporarily escaping the area heavily sealed off by the Snake Clan.
Next, we'll figure out a way to get these people ashore.
Jiude Mai looked around but couldn't see Gu Ran. She didn't know where the kid was.
She always felt that this guy was watching her in some strange way.
She thought she had hidden herself quite well in the crevice of the Trieste and hadn't made a sound, but strangely enough, Gu Ran knew where she was hiding.
Don't know how he did it.
……
Meanwhile, the Snake Clan and other forces hidden in the shadows began to eliminate the Corpse Guardians who had escaped from the Abyss.
Erii Uesugi's Word of Power Domain destroyed the vast majority of the Corpse Guardians, but a small number still managed to escape.
These corpse guardians, if even one of them appears in human society, would be a catastrophe, so they must all be eliminated from the sea.
Along the coastline, members of the Snake Clan were guarding it, and they mobilized the firepower of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces.
The Snake Clan had long since infiltrated every corner of Japan, including the Self-Defense Forces.
However, Japan is a country with incomplete sovereignty. Even along its coastline, there are military restricted areas that its Self-Defense Forces cannot control, and these restricted areas are areas under the jurisdiction of the US military.
Not long ago, Su Enxi, nicknamed "Potato Chip Girl," hired a top hacker to infiltrate and crack the fire control system of the Seventh Fleet deployed by the United States in Japan.
Countless bullets formed a dense barrage, even denser than the barrage in the game Touhou Gensokyo, leaving no room to dodge.
However, the Corpse Guardians, thanks to their alchemical bodies, withstood the bullets, and many of them, still driven by their killing urge, rushed to the shore.
Fortunately, Su Enxi was prepared for this and thus deployed the cruise fleet's Tomahawk missiles to destroy wave after wave of zombie hordes trying to reach the shore.
Missiles worth one hundred million dollars were used to bombard the horde of zombies. In the end, the zombies still knelt down under the power of money.
The few who managed to escape and make it ashore were handed over to the Snake Clan for disposal.
After finishing all that, Su Enxi casually cleaned up the scattered corpses on the beach at the Black Stone Mansion, then asked the manor's butler to fill the bathtub with hot water in preparation for a bath.
Just before I took a shower, an earthquake struck, and Mount Fuji in Japan erupted in flames.
The volcano, which is regarded as a sacred mountain by the people of Japan, has not erupted for three hundred years.
This country really does sit atop a chimney.
……
Across the ocean, in the suburbs of Chicago, at Kassel College.
Six hours later, the execution department was in complete chaos.
The Caesar team from the deep sea has gone missing, their fate unknown.
Gu Ran, who was on the Sumeru, lost contact and it was unknown whether he had been taken hostage by the Japanese branch.
After Princess Kaguya severed ties with Norma, the entire staff of the Japanese branch submitted their resignations.
In Angers' view, this was a collective act of betrayal; they did not want the influence of the Kassel College to re-enter Japan.
But the more they didn't want to do it, the more Angers wanted to do it.
Not long ago, he had arranged for many spies to infiltrate the Snake Clan.
Furthermore, Fingel and Zero were arranged to intern in Japan.
Angers had not yet taken any action because they were waiting for the students' parents to come to their homes.
Before Gu Ran went on the mission, he had told Zhang Qiong about it, but he didn't mention the destination or the specific mission. He just said that he wouldn't be able to contact her for about a few days and told her not to worry.
Angers did not inform Zhang Qiong before receiving definite news, lest she act on her own.
Therefore, the parents that Angers is waiting for are members of the Gattuso family.
Because Caesar was the darling of the Gattuso family.
Soon, representatives from the Gattuso family arrived, and it was the patriarch Pompey himself who came. He was Caesar's father and wanted to learn about the situation of the Japanese branch.
The relationship between the Japanese branch and Kassel College is special; the main branch and the Snake Clan are on equal footing.
After World War II, Angers went to Tokyo and signed an education agreement with the Hebihachi family.
According to the agreement, the Snake Clan will select outstanding descendants to study in the United States, and after returning to Japan, they will form the Japanese branch of Kassel College.
The signing of the education agreement means that the Snake Clan officially became subordinate to the Secret Party, but retained a great deal of autonomy.
Angers did not rush to bring the Snake Clan under his control, but instead planned to slowly erode their power. He was not worried that they would betray him, because the Snake Clan was not united and often fought over their own interests.
However, in the last ten years or so, this disunited organization has suddenly united, which means that a strong leader has emerged among the Snake Clan, so their betrayal is very resolute!
After learning this information, Pompeii also exchanged intelligence with Angers. He revealed that Takamagahara, the dragon city in the deepest abyss, was actually built on land and slid into the trench due to an earthquake.
In Takamagahara, a dragon king slept, and it was supposed to remain asleep forever, until ten thousand years later, when the dragon king embryo blood in the Lenin ship reawakened it.
It is one level higher than a regular dragon king, hence it is called a god.
Once the god awakens, it will bring great natural disasters, and even greater firepower will be needed to destroy the god.
Therefore, it is very likely that one outcome will occur—Japan will sink.
After Pompeii finished explaining his deductions, he was about to take his leave of Angers. Before leaving, he asked Angers to find his son and said he would help settle the matter with the school board.
Meanwhile, after finishing his last cup of tea in the principal's office, Angers picked up his folding knife, bid farewell to the vice-principal, and prepared to head to Japan.
He planned to go alone.
Because he alone is an army.
*……*……*
Gu Ran floated in the sky until almost dawn before landing on the sea.
He flew all night and had now reached the vicinity of the Japanese coastline.
Along the way, he also eliminated several scattered corpse guards and even went to look for the escaped Ghosttooth Dragon Viper.
The Ghost-toothed Dragon Viper is small and easy to spot, but its lethality is no less than that of the Corpse Guardian. Even if just one of these creatures were to flow into the sea, it would be a catastrophic disaster for the marine ecosystem of this world.
So Gu Ran didn't rest all night, constantly using his white eyes to search for traces of these Ghost-toothed Dragon Vipers, eliminating each one he found.
These Ghost-toothed Dragon Vipers are not easy to eliminate in the sea, because Gu Ran's ninjutsu is not very useful in the sea, and he does not know water escaping techniques.
Fortunately, he learned Erii's Word of Power: Judgment.
That absolute will to cut and kill could easily kill these Ghost-toothed Dragon Vipers.
However, Gu Ran's area of judgment was not as large as Erii's; he could only control it within a meter in front of him.
This distance is enough for him, and it's extremely powerful!
However, this Word of Power consumes a lot of mental energy. Perhaps because his bloodline is not pure enough, he cannot use this Word of Power as freely as Erii.
Around 7 a.m., Gu Ran swaggered ashore at a port. Judging from the Chinese road signs, this should be Ito City on the Izu Peninsula.
Genjiro was already very, very far away from him, but Gu Ran could sense it because when he was watching Genjiro's Spider Cutter earlier, he had secretly left the Flying Thunder God mark on the tsuba.
As soon as he got ashore, he saw a bright blue convertible Lamborghini parked on the side of the road. A long-legged woman, soaking wet, walked to the car, took a gauze skirt from the back seat and wrapped it around her body, and then covered her face with a headscarf.
That imposing and beautiful face was truly unforgettable.
Fortunately, it was just dawn, and no pedestrians noticed her.
She had just gotten into the driver's seat and was about to start the car when she suddenly noticed there was someone else in the passenger seat.
"Give me a ride too, I'm wanted by the Snake Clan right now." Gu Ran fastened his seatbelt, took off his coat, and pressed it against her abdomen and chest to stop the bleeding.
Mai Shude didn't say much, but stepped on the gas pedal to the floor, and the car shot off, the noisy engine sound echoing between the residents and the beach, breaking the morning's tranquility.
She was injured, with a wound extending from her chest to her lower abdomen. However, her wound was in a very strange state. With the help of dragon blood, her wound was healing rapidly, but another force tore it open again.
Chapter 391 I'm Not Human Anymore! Potato Chip Girl!
"If I become Deadpool, remember to kill me immediately. I know you have that kind of power." Mai Shude didn't know how much longer she could hold on, so she gave Gu Ran this advice.
It seems she is not afraid of death.
"Don't worry, you won't die." Gu Ran gently discharged electricity in his hand. "I'll numb your wound first, and then use an electric shock to stimulate your nervous system to prevent you from fainting."
Mai Shude's wounds were terrifying; the dense scales on her body were actually cut open by an invisible force. Keep in mind, those were dragon scale armors that even armor-piercing bullets couldn't penetrate.
Erii's Word of Power: Judgment is truly terrifying. It's like a fatal death curse, issuing the order to die and forbidding anyone from living on.
If it weren't for the fact that Dragon Blood was constantly healing Mai Shude in Little Dragon Man mode, she probably would have died.
Gu Ran covered her chest with one hand and pressed her lower abdomen with the other, using palm magic to heal her wounds and replace the dragon blood to help her heal.
"Such beautiful long legs, it would be a shame if we couldn't see them again." He joked, telling her to drive carefully, and then glanced at her slender legs.
"You're taking advantage of me now?" Jiu De Mai looked at Gu Ran's hand placed in her cleavage.
“You’re covered in scales all over your body, and you feel like a steel wool pad, no, I should say like a frosted glass pad!” Gu Ran replied with a smile, but the next second his expression turned serious.
He now has to use the Palm Healing Technique to speed up the healing of her wounds and replace the dragon blood serum she was injected with. Otherwise, continuing to let the dragon blood serum heal her wounds will only accelerate the erosion of the dragon blood on her, eventually turning her into a Deadpool.
Therefore, Gu Ran increased the output of the Palm Healing Technique chakra, and a warm current flowed through the wounds of Shude Mai, the tingling sensation easing her pain.
She clearly felt that the dragon blood that had been eroding her will stopped at this moment.
"Where's the locking agent?" Gu Ran asked. "You used the dragon blood serum, so there should be a matching locking agent. Quickly inject it, and then I'll help you treat the injuries Erii caused you."
“It’s too late.” Mai Shude continued driving, not stopping even at red lights. “The injection needs to be given within four hours, and we’ve already exceeded the time limit.”
"Then hurry up and step on the gas, go find Chip Girl for help, she'll definitely have a solution," Gu Ran said.
"How do you know about Chip Girl? Who are you? Your identity is very mysterious; even the boss says he can't figure you out..."
"Have you fallen in love with me?"
"I don't like boys who have a lot of secrets, unless you're willing to tell me... then I might consider dating you, okay?"
At this point, Jiu De Mai had regained some of her energy and was even in the mood to joke with Gu Ran.
