Chapter 2306: Cat Getan Music Festival (54)

"It won't work if we go on like this. We've already lost half of our manpower." A female agent gripped the walkie-talkie tightly, frowned dead, and said: "We must request support, otherwise we will all die here."

Not a single agent behind her was intact. Two had their limbs beaten and injured, one had their abdomen stabbed and intestines flowing out, and another had a punctured lung, now only able to breathe hard while waiting to die.

"Is the second squad still unable to be contacted?" the female agent asked: "What did Tuman and the others go to do? Why hasn't the power been restored yet?"

"The last time we connected the communication, there was a very intense exchange of fire over there. The gunfire was very loud, and we couldn't hear what he was saying."

"Gunfire? But that madman doesn't use guns. What other monsters are on this ship?"

The young agent next to her swallowed and said: "It might be that gang of drug dealers. Tuman and the boss said before that the Penance Cartel is just a group of hyenas that can't be fed full, strongly demanding not to let them on the ship..."

"A bunch of idiots," the female agent cursed: "Forget it, can't count on them. Where is Amanda? Wasn't she also arranged to be on the ship? Where is she?"

"Don't know. The communication has never been connected. You know she doesn't deal with us usually."

The female agent cursed again, thought for a while before opening her mouth: "Fine, we have to go to the energy storage. If the power isn't restored, we can't possibly beat that monster."

"But going out will mean death." An agent injured in the arm had an expression full of fear. He said: "That guy outside is not human at all! Human speed can't be that fast!"

"That's just hallucinations that appeared because you were too afraid," the female agent snorted coldly and said: "Since when has our field team been so afraid of death?"

Another older male agent said: "Although we indeed can't sit here and wait for death, if we attack rashly, I'm afraid we will really suffer heavy losses. Kayla, don't be too impulsive."

The female agent called Kayla sighed long, but finally said: "Alright, let's wait here first. We've lost contact. Headquarters should send support very soon. By then..."

Clatter!

The ship was instantly brightly lit.

Everyone raised their heads in shock, hope reappearing in their eyes. Kayla also looked at the relit lights in shock.

She picked up the communication equipment at the fastest speed, pressed it a few times, and said: "Damn it, still no signal. What kind of hellish communication blocking method is this???"

Kayla angrily threw the communicator to the ground. She sighed and said: "Let's go. I don't know when this damn ship will lose power again. While we can still see, find a place to treat the injuries. This mission cannot lose any more manpower."

The agents looked at the broken communicator with some fear, but they had no time to worry about it. The injured agents finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They believed that they had been hunted by the monster before without any power to fight back mainly because the ship had completely lost power, there was no light at all, and they weren't wearing night-vision equipment.

Humans lose almost all combat effectiveness without vision, and that madman clearly could see, which was why he caught them off guard and caused them heavy losses.

Those among them who were lightly injured actually hadn't really exchanged blows with the monster; they were just bumped or fell during the fight because they couldn't see. Now that the power was on, even if they couldn't beat him, at least they could run.

And just as Kayla said, they were injured and disabled. If they didn't hurry to find a way to deal with it, they could only wait for death. No one wanted to die, so they unanimously decided to move while there was light.

Kayla led the group of agents who had suffered heavy losses back to the corridor. But the lights that should have brought them warmth and a sense of safety now appeared exceptionally pale, carrying a special coldness.

Suddenly, a long shadow appeared at the end of the corridor. Everyone held their breath. The moment the octopus mask appeared, they didn't even have time to grip the weapons in their hands. With a bang, the male agent on the flank had his head grabbed and smashed against the wall.

Only once, and the brain matter drew an almost perfect flower shape on the wall.

The agents began to scream and run, but those who were injured couldn't run at all. Within ten seconds, they died miserably one after another. Those who managed to run a few steps were also quickly caught up and directly executed.

Watching her last companion die in the monster's hands, the leading female agent Kayla had a strange smile on her lips.

"Long time no see, Professor Shiler," Kayla, lying in the corner of the wall, said: "Although you might not be able to hear, still thank you. Send my regards to my teacher Alfred for me, and say goodbye to him."

Such a loss of manpower was enough to make the FBI's domestic and international operations stretched thin. They wouldn't be able to reach out for a long time.

Facing Shiler who was walking closer and closer, Kayla sighed, gripped the small knife in her hand tightly, but didn't aim it at Shiler. Instead, she cut a bloodstain along the bottom of her ear, following her jaw, and stuffed her fingers into the gap of the skin and flesh. She had to do the last preparatory work before death.

She had to peel off her face to prevent Shiler from recognizing her after he sobered up after killing her. After all, Shiler knew her KGB identity. No matter the situation, killing one's own comrade might cause a great blow to the other party, so it was better if he didn't know.

Just as her fingers exerted a slight force, the ship swayed violently. Kayla, who was unprepared, was knocked directly to the ground, and the blade flew out.

Shiler was also knocked down, and the mask on his face was thrown off. Both wanted to struggle to climb up, but another more violent sway followed, sliding them together from one end of the corridor to the other.

The people in the two rooms were also slapped against the wall on one side. Just as they were thinking about whether the ship was going to capsize, a roar accompanied by surging waves resounded around the cruise ship.

"Shiler!!! You despicable villain!!!!"

This voice was somewhat unfamiliar, and no one present had heard it, but soon the ship returned to stability and even started directly.

Bat-B and Bruce both woke up. They walked up along the staff passage, opened the door, and took a look outside, discovering a strong man floating on the sea surface.

Shiler stood at the very front of the deck. He looked like he had regained his reason, but it was uncertain who the personality trait controlling the body was.

"Orm," Shiler called out his name, but soon said again: "Or should I call you... Atlan?"

Orm sat on a high throne of waves, his face full of anger and arrogance. He stood up, raised the trident in his hand, lightning circling his body, and the waves roared in anger.

"You damn thief, you joined Atlanna to steal my power!!!"

"You're not bad either, actually using your power to curse me, causing me to get seasick."

As soon as Shiler opened his mouth, others knew this wasn't Arrogance; it should be Greed.

"This is the will of the sea," Atlan's voice appeared from Orm's mouth, "You defied and betrayed the sea. This is the punishment you deserve!"

"I told you, you cannot represent the sea."

"You are all damn thieves!!!" Atlan finally couldn't bear it anymore. A huge phantom appeared behind Orm, with giant waves behind him, almost forming a giant curtain about to swallow the city.

This place was originally not far from Cat Getan, and the citizens were all outdoors participating in the carnival. Seeing the wonders on the sea, they stopped one after another, took out their mobile phones to start taking pictures, or discussed with the people around them what kind of show this was again.

"Those despicable Atlanteans stole my throne! And you, together with that damn bitch, cheated away my power. You all deserve to die!!!"

"Enough, Atlan," another voice sounded. Everyone saw that opposite the giant curtain of waves, another higher wave rose, and Arthur appeared together with the Atlantean army.

"Dead King, the grudge between you and Orin should end. Let go of Orm, withdraw your power, and don't try to provoke a war between land and sea with this," Arthur said in a deep voice.

"It was you who betrayed me!!!" Atlan's voice revealed endless anger, "Orin killed all my relatives, took away my throne!"

"But you also sank Atlantis," Arthur looked at Atlan and said: "Making the once most glorious land kingdom become sea people. The grudges within Atlantis have nothing to do with any land residents. I am the son of Atlantis's previous queen, Atlanna, and the future king of Atlantis. If you want revenge, I will accompany you at any time."

"You are as shameless as your mother," Atlan's voice echoed in anger, "She cheated me, she let a damn lander steal half of my power!!!"

Arthur and Atlan looked down at Shiler on the deck at the same time.

"I think the word 'steal' is open to question," Shiler snapped his fingers, took a deep breath, let the gray mist restore his body, and said: "As far as I know, I made a deal with Atlanna. I get the power provided by Atlantis and ensure that some mysterious dark power no longer invades the ocean from Cat Getan."

"That is my power!!!"

"Forgive me, I am unaware of that," Shiler shook his head and said: "Atlanna told me this is Atlantis's power, and as a lander, I have no way of knowing what this power really is."

At this time, Arthur spoke, "I learned from the Queen's diary that you were sleeping in the Mariana Trench, but you never stopped, constantly mentally polluting and manipulating Atlantean tribesmen, making them stir up trouble and trigger wars. She had to do this to weaken you."

Atlan sneered, looked at Arthur, and said: "You don't understand anything at all, Prince of Atlantis. You are destined to suffer the same fate as me."

"Back then, my brother Orin and I had a disagreement because of our attitudes toward outsiders, and I believed we should strengthen exchanges with outsiders and tolerate their culture, while Orin felt that intermarriage with outsiders was a disgrace."

"He betrayed me, killed all my wives and children. I have always wanted revenge, and you are his descendants. I am just taking back what belongs to me."

"I said it, Atlan. Atlanteans have become sea people. The era of the land kingdom of Atlantis has passed. Any grudge you have with Orin will be solved by us."

"But this damn lander stole my power!"

The problem returned to the starting point. Everyone could understand that Arthur's meaning now was that even if you suffered grievances a long time ago, you should find Orin's descendants for revenge, don't seek death in front of landers.

But Atlan indicated that my power was stolen, how can I find you for revenge? Doesn't it have to be taken back from the lander first?

The two sides were deadlocked for a while.

But just as Atlan's gaze swept over Shiler again, he saw the brilliant smile on Shiler's face.

The next second, Atlan was hit hard. ===== CHAPTER 2307 =====
