Chapter 236 Once Upon a Time in the Sea
Wei Shou's gaze was as cold as a poisonous scorpion, and there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.
He had clearly confirmed that Karl and she had gone underground, so why did she appear here again, and how did she tell that his puppet was not the real Zongfang? You have to know that his puppets are exactly the same as real people, and he has never failed before.
"Drop the gun." Wei Shou pointed the gun at her and ordered.
Qiao Susu stood up, threw the gun on the ground, and stared at him with calm eyes, but her mind was rapidly predicting his next move.
Their eyes met, and both of them moved at the same time in the next second.
Qiao Suisui rushed to the detonator, and Wei Shou grabbed her. The two of them fought in close combat. Wei Shou's order was to bring back the ancient humans, so he didn't dare to really shoot. Qiao Suisui was also betting on this, so she used the remaining time to prevent him from blowing up the underground experimental base. If the underground experimental base could be preserved intact and exposed, everything would change!
Wei Shou pulled out a dagger from his military boots, strangled her throat with one hand, and stabbed her eyeball with the other hand.
The leader only said to bring back living ancient humans, but did not say to bring back complete ancient humans.
The tip of the knife was almost about to touch her eyeballs. In an instant, Qiao Susu grabbed his arms that were wrapped around her neck with both hands, hung upside down, and flexibly clamped his neck with her legs.
Even though her mental power was overwhelming that of Wei Shou, in such a pressing situation and in close combat, her strength and combat experience were no match for Wei Shou, so she had to resort to tricks.
Qiao Sui Sui made a judgment in a few seconds, using her flexibility to wrap around him, and the strength of her legs could suffocate him in a few seconds. She flexibly flipped onto his shoulders, broke free with both hands, and with a "click", she used both hands to break Wei Shou's neck.
The whole process was done in one go, cleanly and neatly.
Wei Shou's eyes widened in disbelief, then he knelt straight on the ground. Qiao Susu landed on her feet, then took the dagger in his hand and cut his throat from behind.
Blood splattered everywhere.
Her face was also splattered with blood, but she didn't blink.
Qiao Susu confirmed that Wei Shou was dead, and then directly put the detonator into the space, completely stopping the explosion.
"That should be fine. It will change. It will definitely change."
She muttered to herself, waiting for the last minute to return to the future.
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind.
"I'm going to go out and check the situation first. You wait here for me. Be good."
It was Carl speaking to his past self.
Qiao Suisui turned around, her face and body covered in blood, standing next to Wei Shou's body, holding a dagger in her hand. The wind blew up the ends of her hair, and her eyes became unusually bright after going through time and suffering. At this moment, they were full of determination and confidence, but she was still moved by hearing his voice.
When they were underground, Carl first heard the sound of metal pipes and immediately realized something was wrong. He pulled Qiao Susu carefully back to the entrance, intending to go out first and then make a long-term plan. However, there was a sudden sound of fighting outside, and he did not dare to act rashly with Susu. So he decided to go out to check the situation when he heard the fight was over.
At this moment, he pushed open the rusty door of the lower entrance and walked onto the ground, only to see a man lying prone in the cave, with no one else there.
Carl walked over and picked up a sniper rifle from the ground.
"M40?"
It was his usual gun.
Karl looked at the traces at the scene, a little stunned.
Ruins eye.
Qiao Suisui opened her eyes.
Her heart beat faster and faster. In her original timeline, if the underground experimental base had not been blown up, she would have found a way to use the Freedom Organization to expose the cruel behavior of the Federation. At that time, public opinion would have been in an uproar, and the position of the leader would have been unstable and replaced. In this way, Anubis and the rebels only needed to find evidence on the southern battlefield to prove their innocence and wash away their grievances, and Anubis would no longer be in danger.
She put away the time-reversal device and quickly headed to the Oslan Empire.
This time she would definitely be able to save Anubis, she wouldn't be forced to log out, Luka wouldn't commit suicide, and Liberi wouldn't be killed.
When Qiao Susu flew over Atlantis and looked down at the entire ground, she suddenly felt like a wooden stake nailed to the spot, frozen in place.
The once prosperous Oslan Empire was now in ruins.
The once bustling streets are now deserted and desolate, and most of the glass windows of the skyscrapers have been broken, with fragments scattered on the ground, covered with dust and reflecting a faint light. The exterior walls of the buildings are covered with bullet holes and burn marks.
Flying ships were parked in all directions, some were completely destroyed and twisted, and black smoke was still rising from the wreckage. Some trees on the roadside were uprooted, some were broken in half, and branches and leaves were scattered all over the ground, as if they had been ravaged by a storm.
The air was filled with the smell of smoke and dust.
Qiao Susu walked on the land of Atlantis, looking at everything in confusion and helplessness.
There were few pedestrians around, and occasionally a few people could be seen, walking hurriedly, with fear and fatigue written all over their faces. Some were rummaging through the ruins, perhaps looking for lost relatives, or perhaps looking for some useful supplies.
The sky in the distance was still gloomy and covered with dark clouds, as if the whole city was shrouded in gray.
"Why. Did I fail?"
Qiao Susu quickened her pace and entered the imperial court. There were no guards at the door, so she strode towards the palace.
But just as I turned the corner of the corridor, I ran into a little boy.
"mom!"
A little red-haired boy was knocked to the ground. His face was full of anger and he was about to lose his temper, but after seeing Qiao Susu clearly, he hugged her and suddenly burst into tears.
"Bellini also said that you would not wake up, and I knew he was lying to me. Mom, mom, you are back, I missed you so much."
Qiao Susu was a little confused.
She squatted down and looked at the little boy at eye level. She saw that he had red hair and his eyebrows and eyes were very similar to Karl. She was immediately surprised.
"Your father is Carl?"
The little boy rubbed his eyes and tilted his head to look at her. He didn't understand why his mother asked this question. He said in a childish voice: "Yes, and isn't Dad always with Mom? We all hate Dad."
Qiao Suisui didn't understand. Just as she was about to ask again, she heard a familiar voice not far away: "Tata."
She suddenly looked up, stood up and looked towards the corner.
Black military boots appeared from the corner, followed by the man's slender legs. He was tall and was holding a little boy in his arms. The little boy lay on his broad shoulders and sobbed, soaking his shirt. But the man did not blame him at all. He lowered his head and coaxed him. His cold and sharp facial features were now filled with patience and tenderness.
Qiao Susu just looked at him, as if the surrounding environment had become a background.
I worked overtime until 10 o'clock yesterday, and I was too tired to write. I thought I would not be able to update by 12 o'clock today, but I still got up in the morning and wrote. However, the next chapter may not pass the review, so I will wait.
