Lin Muxu hid in a room in the corridor.
It was the men's bathroom Ling Qianhe had visited before.
She had made an arrangement with Ling Qianhe to meet there after everything was done.
She heard the sound of water and footsteps. In the pitch darkness, she anxiously called his name.
"Qianhe?"
Then she heard the other person hum,
"It's me."
His voice was incredibly deep.
But it instantly settled her heart.
It made her feel at ease.
Lin Muxu's breathing was rapid.
Then Ling Qianhe hugged her tightly.
Lin Muxu felt his clothes were wet.
She anxiously questioned him.
"Your body..."
"Are you injured?"
She was very worried about Ling Qianhe.
And when Ling Qianhe heard Lin Muxu ask this.
He reached out and touched her cheek, his tone gentle.
"It's nothing. It's pirate blood. I fought with one of them, and he got a nosebleed."
There were still pirates wandering on the ship. It was very dangerous.
And Ling Qianhe said.
"Let's go, we'll head to the lowest level. I have a way to delay time."
"Fei Siyu is there. He helped me move the pirate leader, the unconscious one, down there."
"We'll use him as a hostage to negotiate with the pirates and stall until reinforcements arrive."
He had clearly planned everything, so he was confident.
Lin Muxu was a little surprised.
"Fei Siyu didn't leave? He didn't get on Hanks' plane?"
Ling Qianhe hummed.
"We discussed it, ladies first, let the girls get on the plane."
"So Fei Siyu and I stayed behind."
This was actually very dangerous.
He had asked Fei Siyu to leave, but Fei Siyu voluntarily stated that he was a man.
Since Ling Qianhe was staying, he would stay with him.
The two were friends, brothers.
In a perilous and critical moment.
If he only thought about escaping himself.
He would have a lifetime of guilt.
That's why Ling Qianhe asked him to stay and help.
Lin Muxu walked out with Ling Qianhe—Lin Muxu looked at Ling Qianhe.
The holographic map in front of her still clearly marked the enemy positions, and she could see the red dots on the map.
So she grabbed Ling Qianhe's hand.
"Come with me, I know how to walk without encountering danger."
Her words were resolute.
Exceptionally certain.
Ling Qianhe glanced at Lin Muxu's eyes, pursed his lips, and a look of complete trust shone in his eyes.
"Okay."
...
They successfully reached the first basement level.
In front of the cold storage, Ling Qianhe was about to push the door open.
Lin Muxu looked at the door, and for some reason, she had an ominous premonition.
She gritted her teeth, then turned to look at Ling Qianhe.
"Wait a moment."
She looked at the door, hesitated, then directly clutched the vial of medicine.
She used a nearby shovel to smash the door fiercely.
The next second, the door was blasted open.
Then a figure lunged at Ling Qianhe like lightning!
Lin Muxu's eyes widened. She knew something was wrong when she saw the red dots inside the cold storage!
There were enemies, which was why she told Ling Qianhe not to go in directly.
Then the other person raised their wrist.
Fired—but the gun misfired.
The gun jammed, the bullet stuck in the chamber, not firing.
Ling Qianhe grabbed the other person's wrist and forcefully twisted it, aiming the gun at his own chest.
Then he was about to pull the trigger!
His movements were fluid and extremely fast.
Without any hesitation.
He looked like an assassin who had undergone rigorous training!
The other person gasped.
"This reaction speed... Damn it, you're definitely not just some ordinary celebrity..."
"Who are you? A secret agent?"
"An assassin?"
"Have you also injected some special serum?"
"Impossible, the black market only auctioned one Supergod Serum, and I bought it, which is how I could resist your knockout agent..."
"You control that kind of high-intensity serum! Hand over the formula, and I can spare your lives!"
Ling Qianhe looked at the other person coldly.
He knew there were no cameras in the underground ice cellar.
So the audience couldn't see what was happening here.
It was too cold, and ordinary high-precision machines would freeze and malfunction.
They couldn't operate normally.
That's why he chose the ice cellar, because he might have some secrets that weren't convenient to be seen by the global audience.
He needed to reveal them here.
"You need to understand the situation. Your life is in my hands right now!"
"It's not you threatening me, it's me threatening you!"
Ling Qianhe asked with a cold smile.
"Where is my friend?"
"If you killed him, I will make you regret it for the rest of your life!"
Lin Muxu quickly walked in and shouted.
"Fei Siyu is fine, he was just knocked unconscious. Don't worry, he's not in any danger."
Lin Muxu was the possessor of the Divine Physician of Chinese Medicine skill, so if she said Fei Siyu was fine, he definitely wouldn't be in any danger.
Ling Qianhe's eyes remained as cold as ice!
Coldness spread inch by inch in his eyes!
He slightly raised his chin.
"So it was you who auctioned that Supergod Serum..."
"Almost killed by Franklin."
Lin Muxu was also a little surprised.
Wait, so the guy across from them.
Did he wake up with such astonishing speed because he was injected with the Supergod Serum?
She thought.
Her serum was unlikely to have any problems.
It turned out that this pirate, Nu Hai, was the one who auctioned the Supergod Serum on the black market.
And he had also injected himself with the Supergod Serum.
No wonder...
No wonder Ling Qianhe had cursed Franklin.
It was probably Franklin's own doing, almost getting them killed.
The pirate Nu Hai across from them, his cheeks twitched.
His face, with its deep scar, looked even more terrifying, and then this pirate Nu Hai asked Ling Qianhe in a cold voice.
"You know about the Supergod Serum too?"
"You are indeed an injected user..."
"Since that's the case, you'll be wanted by the world sooner or later. Why are you bothering me? Don't be a big star, join us!"
Ling Qianhe looked at him mockingly.
"You want me to be like you, hiding everywhere, never seeing the light of day, like a rat in the streets underground?"
"Is that what you mean?"
"Your brain..."
"Is it broken?"
The man opposite him had a sallow complexion, looking extremely displeased!
Ling Qianhe continued to sneer.
He looked at the other person coldly, the cold muzzle of the gun aimed at his chest, and said.
"Guess what? When the bullet pierces your heart, will the blood flowing out stain my clothes?"
He said this casually.
But it carried an extremely cruel and indifferent tone!
The pirate Nu Hai across from him was filled with rage!
"You wouldn't dare shoot! Someone who has never held a gun doesn't have the courage to pull the trigger—who do you think you are..."
His tone was extremely cold, but Ling Qianhe looked at him.
Ling Qianhe still gripped his wrist tightly, the two men facing each other.
Ling Qianhe's strength was astonishingly great.
Nu Hai couldn't understand it no matter how hard he tried.
Even if Ling Qianhe had also been injected with the Supergod Serum.
How could he possess such strength?
He, who had faced death countless times, still couldn't defeat this slender, beautiful youth!
What kind of logic was this?
He was still sneering.
Lin Muxu walked over directly. She made a face at Nu Hai, whose face was contorted in ferocity.
She reached out her hand.
Then, swiftly and cleanly, she directly injected him with the syringe.
Nu Hai's eyes widened in disbelief as he fainted.
What was this...
What the hell?
But he still rolled his eyes and fainted.
He never expected.
That he would be taken down by this frail young girl he didn't even take seriously!
Lin Muxu clapped her hands.
"This guy is too verbose and too noisy, isn't he?"
Lin Muxu sighed, then she said.
"I just prepared an enhanced version of the serum. I don't care if he's been modified by the Supergod Serum, this dosage could knock out and stun an elephant!"
She looked at Ling Qianhe.
"What now, wait for reinforcements?"
Ling Qianhe looked at her, not scared at all, but rather exceptionally excited.
He stroked his chin.
It seemed.
His precious wife.
Was very brave.
So Xiao Ci understood pharmacology. Tsk tsk, in the future, would he have to be more careful?
What if he was knocked out by Xiao Ci?
And Xiao Ci wanted revenge?
Wouldn't he be helpless?
He absolutely couldn't let Xiao Ci entertain the dangerous thought of experimenting with serums on him!
He wondered if he could inject himself with the Supergod Serum a few more times to strengthen his physique...
Ling Qianhe's thoughts raced.
On the surface, he still nodded calmly.
Ling Qianhe said.
"Yes."
"Let's wait for reinforcements."
...
They went into the cold storage, and the audience outside suddenly lost the signal and the feed, but they exploded.
Global audiences were going crazy.
【Oh my God... I need to pray for them!】
【Lord, please protect them!】
This was praying for divine protection.
There were also those who gnashed their teeth and cursed.
【You damn pirates, all of you go to hell! Wuwuwu, please let Xiao Ci and Qianhe be alright, my Xiao Ci, my Qianhe!】
【You must, you must be safe, ahhh!】
Everyone was extremely nervous.
Fearing that something might happen.
【Still no footage of them? Could something have happened to them?】
Fans were going crazy.
【Pah pah pah, you absolutely cannot say such things, good luck, our Xiao Ci and Qianhe are blessed with great fortune, nothing will happen to them.】
【Besides, haven't people gone to save them? Wuwuwu, they will definitely be alright!】
Global audiences were extremely anxious.
Although the live broadcast screen was black, the number of viewers kept increasing, millions, tens of millions... The real-time viewership exceeded ten million and was still climbing.
After all, this could be on international news!
This was a real major incident being reported by television stations!
Hanks' plane flew out to international waters, and he was the first to receive rescue.
Apart from him, everyone else on the ship was a girl.
And that cruise ship had captured the hearts of countless people.
Lin Muxu and Ling Qianhe squatted in the cold storage.
It was too cold here.
Ling Qianhe held her—
Lin Muxu heard the system prompt her.
"Host, your global popularity has reached thirty-five percent. You have currently achieved minor fame."
"The popularity of a global A-list celebrity is not much different."
"In the next stage, if your global popularity reaches fifty percent, then you will be renowned!"
"Reaching fifty percent global popularity allows for another lucky draw."
"Note, this lucky draw has a certain chance of helping Ling Qianhe awaken a skill."
"Please, Host, strive hard."
Lin Muxu was stunned.
Huh?
Help Ling Qianhe awaken... a skill?
In Lin Muxu's eyes, Ling Qianhe was all-round skilled... He could do everything except give birth.
It's not like they would draw a childbirth skill for Ling Qianhe.
She muttered, but Ling Qianhe noticed her distraction. He lowered his head and kissed her lips.
"What's wrong?"
His tone was very gentle.
"Xiao Ci?"
"What are you thinking about?"
