Chapter 213: Choice of Life and Death
“Shit! What’s wrong with you?!” The passengers immediately stopped the man.
The man shouted, “Let’s open the door and surrender! They won’t kill us! They’ll just turn us into fishmen!”
“I’d rather die than turn into these monsters!”
“Die, then! I don’t care! I want to live!”
“They’re crazy! Stop those who want to open the door! Take them down!”
“Who the hell do you think you are? Why should we listen to you? You don’t get to give orders!”
“Who the hell do I think I am? I’ll show you who I am!”
One man punched the other man in the face. The other man scrambled to his feet, and a fight broke out.
The passengers were divided into two sides. One side wanted to open the door so that they would be spared, while the other refused to open it.
Both sides were persistent, and they started throwing punches before they could fight against the fishmen outside.
Even the captain of the ark couldn’t stop them.
Children were so scared that they burst into tears. Women and elderly people retreated to the corners and watched the men killing one another.
A woman looked out of the window. She saw the malicious fishmen staring at her, their gazes reminding her of devils. She trembled. They looked as if they were going to eat her whole.
She would never agree to open the door.
Not in a million years!
At that moment, the terror in her eyes turned into surprise as she looked into the distance.
“What’s that?” She saw something like shark fins moving fast toward them.
Was that a new group of fishmen?
“One group is already impossible to withstand, but there’s more now!”
“What they said was right! This world has been taken over by fishmen. There must be eight or nine billion of them!”
“That’ll be an understatement! I think the world is full of fishmen, and there are no more than 100 million survivors left!”
“Damn it! Without the internet, we don’t know anything! What’s going on in the rest of the world?”
“That’s right! The network stopped working after Mr. Soan disappeared. We don’t even know what’s happening a few hundred meters away! We’re as good as blind!”
“Mr. Soan and Moon are so important! How come we never realized it before? Not only that, but we’ve also mocked and humiliated them!”
“Mr. Soan hasn’t come out since he went into Atlantis. The network also broke right then. We were so stupid! How can Mr. Soan be working with Atlantis? If he were, he wouldn’t have set up the network for us!”
“We did this to ourselves!”
“No!” Someone blurted out at that moment.
Everybody looked at him.
He shook his head. “I’m not talking about Mr. Soan! I mean those ‘sharks’! Look!”
He pointed at the sea surface in the distance. The “sharks” no longer looked like sharks. Moreover, above them in the sky were some aircraft.
“Is that…”
“Those are helicopters!”
“They’re not fishmen! Those are ordinary people! They’re flying toward us in helicopters!”
“Gosh! Are we safe?”
“It’s too early to celebrate. Fishmen have occupied so many arks. How do we know they can’t fly helicopters?”
Hearing that, the passengers were crestfallen. Things would be disastrous if fishmen were flying those helicopters!
Why was that?
Because only those five countries still had helicopters!
Other countries had been overrun by flood and only had some arks left. If the fishmen were flying the helicopters, there was only one explanation. They had defeated the five countries as well.
The five countries were the last hope of the human race. If they were occupied, there was no hope left.
The passengers had thought about that possibility, but no one wanted to believe it. However, the helicopters made them consider it.
Were the pilots fishmen or ordinary people?
That was the million-dollar question.
The helicopters glowed in blue light when they moved closer. Then they opened fire. Countless bullets were shot at the fishmen in the sea, turning the water red.
The fishmen tried to hide in the deeper water.
Gil was furious and looked up at the sky.
“Fuck them!”
“I’ll kill them all!”
“Find our highest jumpers and drag those helicopters down!”
The fishmen could jump forty or fifty meters into the air. That also showed their speed and strength far exceeded ordinary people.
The helicopters were only 30m above the sea.
The fishmen almost did it.
Some of them managed to jump into the helicopters, but the people inside immediately kicked them out.
The ark passengers shouted in surprise.
“They’re ordinary people!”
“Hey, stop fighting! Someone’s coming for us! We don’t need to open the door for the fishmen! We’re going to live!”
“It’s Moon! I saw a Moonian flag!”
“The Moonians are here to save us! They’ve defeated the fishmen!”
“I knew we could trust Moon!”
“Stop it, you guys!”
...
The passengers stopped the fighting and rushed to the windows to see what was happening outside.
Meanwhile, the “sharks” charged at the fishmen as well.
“Are those the three divisions from Moon?”
“Yes! That’s the Himmelian Pavilion!”
“We’re safe!”
“Thank you, Moon! Thank you, Himmelian Pavilion!”
...
Because this ark was in a remote corner of the southern hemisphere, it took Moon two months to find it. In the northern hemisphere, it would have been rescued a long time ago.
The passengers were relieved when they saw the Moonian helicopters and members of the Himmelian Pavilion.
The fishmen were strong, but the Himmelian Pavilion was stronger!
