You're Surrounded by Me

Guan Baozhu entered the main courtyard of the prince's residence with graceful movements.

She kept her stride to about three hand spans, which was rather small, but her walking speed was not slow.

Passing through luxurious pavilions and waterside terraces, and rare plants, she soon arrived at the door of the study where the Second Prince was currently located.

"Knock knock knock."

"Enter."

Guan Baozhu pushed open the door and entered, her eyes immediately reflecting Yuan Yuan situation.

The entire study was filled with misty psionic Psychic Energy.

A mist of spiritual energy swirled around a round container the size of a human head in front of the table, making the dragon-shaped spirit within appear and disappear.

That's right, with the trial approaching, the Second Prince Yuan Yuan is still in a soul state.

This is undoubtedly not good news for members of the Second Prince Faction.

After entering, Guan Baozhu closed the door before stepping forward and bowing respectfully, saying, "Your Highness, I have not failed in my mission."

"Your Majesty, I have reached a deal with three officials from the Ministry of War. You may travel to the Arctic Ocean tomorrow aboard their submarine."

"Okay! Baozhu, thank you for your hard work."

"This is all within my duty."

Yuan Yuan's tone was filled with barely concealed joy.

Beside the vessel that nurtured his soul lay a letter stating that the materials for body reconstruction were ready.

Also tomorrow, a group of Human Race prisoners will arrive. There will be quite a few of them, and there's an 80% chance they'll be able to find suitable bodies to accelerate the body construction process.

Good things come in pairs, no wonder he's so happy.

Guan Baozhu was unaware that Yuan Yuan had already gathered the materials for body reconstruction, and naturally assumed that he was happy about persuading the Ministry of War officials.

She said with concern, "Your Highness, this journey is to rebuild our physical body; it will likely take quite some time."

"What if something unexpected happens in the court while you're away?"

In his soul form, Yuan Yuan's dragon eyes, hidden in the mist, narrowed slightly. "This one too."

"What insightful opinion does the Princess Consort have?"

His tone instantly calmed down.

Guan Baozhu immediately realized that this was Yuan Yuan's warning to her.

As a member of the imperial harem, she was not allowed to interfere in court affairs.

Guan Baozhu remained calm, simply bowing her head obediently, "Your Majesty, I am foolish and cannot think of any solution."

She was making a statement, indicating that she understood her role and would not interfere in politics.

"Alright, Baozhu, you can go and rest now."

Yuan Yuan's tone softened instantly, as if filled with cotton candy of concern.

"Thank you, Your Highness. I shall take my leave."

Following the Second Prince's instructions, Guan Baozhu withdrew, left the study, and returned to her own courtyard, finally breathing a sigh of relief.

Then, her face darkened for a moment.

But it only lasted for less than half a second before it was buried deep in my heart.

The dignified Second Prince's wife thought to herself, "You do all the dirty and tiring work, but you get all sullen when I mention the court. Yuan Yuan, you really deserve to die!"

Meanwhile, the perspective shifts back to the depths of the Azure Nether Ocean.

The fleet of cargo ships sailed through the pitch-black depths of the sea.

Therefore, if any unexpected situation arises, they will instantly find themselves isolated and helpless.

Just like now, the fleet is shrouded in a thick fog that is visible to the naked eye, making it completely impossible for them to sail normally.

In the main ship's command center, the head of the Second Research Institute's escort team, responsible for directing the convoy's course, had a grim expression.

He had previously visited the Third Research Institute base and was thankful that death hadn't caught up with their field team.

They encountered this very situation less than a day later.

It would be strange if he were in a good mood!

However, despite being in a bad mood, he didn't panic.

"Communicator, attempt to contact the outer escort ships."

The person in charge calmly issued the orders, and also instructed the crew to begin preheating the main ship's onboard weapons to protect itself.

The messenger received the order and continued to send out various signals.

A moment later, "Report: Unable to connect."

The Feather Powder in the fog disrupted space, and with its layers of separation, no energy fluctuations could travel far.

The communicator naturally could not connect.

The person in charge frowned.

Before he could give any further orders, a noticeable shaking suddenly began inside the main ship.

What happened?

"What happened?"

The Sea Race in the command room were completely baffled, but their intuition told them that something terrible was about to happen.

The next moment, faint roars pierced through the metal walls of the command room and reached the ears of the Sea Race.

Everyone immediately realized that something had happened outside.

That was a specially made Psychic Energy metal wall three centimeters thick; these sounds could penetrate into the command room, so you can imagine how loud they were.

A crew member quickly turned on the monitor screen in front of him and brought up the surveillance footage from outside the command room.

At that moment, outside the command room, a large number of frenzied Sea Race surged from the lower decks into the corridor.

Their eyes were vacant, their pupils unfocused, and they simply flailed their limbs stiffly as they charged toward their still-conscious kin.

They appear to be alive, but in reality, their insides have been completely consumed by Rc Cells, turning them into puppets of the toxins they produce.

Because of their sheer number, these puppets are currently merely following the hunting instincts of Rc Cells and acting Shisui simple, arbitrary commands.

Of course, he could no longer maintain the same state of being as he had been in life, which was not much different from his previous Shisui.

But it was precisely because of the sheer number of them that the researchers and the people in the command center on the main ship found it a challenge.

If the walls of the command center hadn't been so sturdy, the puppet tide would have engulfed them instantly.

However, they probably won't be able to hold out for much longer.

"Snap! Snap!"

The puppets rushed out of the command room at incredible speed.

A series of grinding sounds arose as the puppets began to gnaw at the Psychic Energy- containing material within the walls.

On other cargo ships, the situation wasn't much better.

The number of Sea Race infected with Rc Cells after being bitten by the puppets and infected after absorbing the fog is constantly increasing.

Several cargo ships have already been captured.

Meanwhile, Shisui himself had already left the cargo ships in the center and swam towards the outer escort ships, which were also shrouded in thick fog.

No infected individuals carrying [Bone-Deep Rot] Rc Cells have been found inside these frigates.

However, the seawater around them had become extremely murky.

Space was blocked, and the fleet could not advance an inch.

The moment Shisui arrived above the escort fleet, five figures suddenly sprang out from inside the fleet.

"Enemy invaders, you are surrounded! Surrender immediately and dispel the fog!"

The leader of the Earth Realm Ninth Realms spoke, his curses echoing in the stagnant seawater.

"Pfft!"

Shisui scanned the surrounding "powerful figures" of the Earth Realm, his eyes gleaming with an excited hunting desire.

"I'm surrounded? No, it should be that you're surrounded by me."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a surging Feather Powder tide, carrying seawater, swept in.

The silent seabed suddenly began to churn!
