They're All Dead... (Continued)

Just as Heratia reached a dead end and was about to turn away, a woman's figure slowly appeared behind her.

"Hello?"

The woman smiled; she seemed perfectly normal.

Heratia didn't show much of a problem and responded with a smile in return.

"Hello... is there anything I can help you with?"

"This..."

The woman looked somewhat embarrassed upon hearing Heratia's words.

You seem to be... injured?

As the woman spoke, she tried to move a little closer.

Although Heratia's face didn't change much, she had actually placed one hand behind her back.

The other person might indeed just be a kind-hearted ordinary person.

But Heratia did not let her guard down.

When neither side knows if there's a problem, any oversight could be an opportunity for the other to take advantage.

"Thank you for your concern, but this injury is minor and nothing serious."

Heratia spoke, her Platinum eyes were fixed on the other person's every move.

But the other party did not show any unusual behavior.

After Heratia said she didn't need it, she stood still, her brow furrowed.

"This doesn't look like a minor injury. If not treated properly, it could very well lead to infection..."

After hesitating for a few moments, she took a few more steps forward.

"If all else fails, let me help you with that?"

Thank you again for your kind offer, but it's really not necessary... I have my own plans.

Heratia spoke again, her smile unchanged, but the hand behind her back gradually clenched.

It wasn't that she didn't want to trust others, it's just... in the middle of the night, why would someone be alone in the corridor, especially since her place was a dead end?

She does it to attract her target; but what do women do for a living?

"This..."

Hearing Heratia refuse again, the woman remained silent for a few moments before sighing.

Whether she truly didn't understand the meaning behind Heratia's words or not, she simply nodded and continued speaking.

"Indeed, I'm not a professional doctor... For safety reasons, why don't you go see the ship's doctor?"

The woman continued to extend invitations; this was the third time she had made such an invitation in a short period of time.

Even Heratia felt a little embarrassed.

However, she still shook her head slightly.

"Thank you again for your kindness, but I have my own plans, so please don't worry."

Heratia spoke calmly, but the woman's gaze gradually turned serious, as if she had confirmed something.

"I see..."

As she spoke, she slowly took a few steps back.

While Heratia was still in a daze, she suddenly stretched out her finger.

"You're the one who caused the ship to leak earlier, aren't you?"

"Huh?"

"I was wondering why someone would be sneaking around here in the middle of the night... I knew it was you planning to cause trouble!"

As she spoke, she glanced around again.

After failing to find a suitable weapon, his eyes quickly locked onto Heratia in front of him.

While Heratia was still in a daze, she immediately turned around and prepared to run away!

Heratia frowned as well.

She didn't say much, but watched the other person's retreating figure, frowned a few times, and then quickly chased after them.

But it was at this moment that an unexpected person appeared.

"Hey? What are you guys doing here?"

It's the couple who designed the dome during the day.

The woman had unexpectedly appeared here all by herself!

This caused Heratia's expression to change drastically.

His steps faltered a few times as a result.

A thought flashed through her mind like lightning, making her eyes tremble.

Just as she was about to step out of the corner, she suddenly stopped and took a half-step back!

And it was that half-step that allowed the deadly attack to graze past her!

The azure spikes pierced straight out from the corner!

In the distance, Seaborn, who had been running away and preparing to report, turned around, her face becoming cold and inhuman.

"Ah?!"

The female designer looked at them in astonishment, her expression changing drastically, and she became somewhat flustered.

She rushed over to check if Heratia was injured.

Neither of them stopped the woman; they simply stared at each other, their expressions grave.

"You guys are really smart...she's never mentioned this to me."

Having narrowly escaped death, Heratia's face was still somewhat pale, but she took deep breaths and stared intently at the woman before her.

A gash appeared on the face of the woman who was turning her head, and it quickly pierced through her body.

Within the crack, she tumbled inside and out in a few swift movements.

However, what came out of its body was not some bloody internal organs, but rather a set of hideous, dark blue, skeletal armor.

This sight caused the woman's expression to change drastically, revealing a hint of fear.

"What... what's going on?"

"That's a long story..."

Heratia looked at the other person, feeling helpless.

The other party's appearance was indeed Tai He.

But now that it has happened, she really can't ignore it.

Heratia had considered the possibility that the other party was also Seaborn.

However, considering Maria's previous attitude towards her, Heratia ultimately determined that the other party was safe...

Meanwhile, the woman from Seaborn watched them indifferently from a distance.

"How... did... you... know...?"

Perhaps because of the change in form, the way the other party spoke at this moment became extremely strange.

Heratia didn't try to hide anything; she simply smiled and began to speak.

"The ship is leaking... This has never been mentioned to any outsiders..."

Aside from the engineers and Maria, how could the crew on a normal flight possibly know what the daytime alarm was about?

It was because of this discovery that Heratia finally stopped and began to prepare a countermeasure.

These words silenced Seaborn for a moment, but then it slowly spoke again.

"This... is meaningless..."

Perhaps Heratia was indeed quite intelligent, but it really didn't make sense.

Because the road in front of us is blocked.

In their eyes, Heratia, who was completely powerless, had no chance to struggle at all!

"Hand it over!"

The Seaborn whispered as they drew closer.

Heratia, however, smiled and picked up the vial of blood that Maria had given her.

"If you want it, you have to take it yourself... That's the rule of nature, isn't it?"

As she spoke, she pulled the woman back a little.

Seaborn simply smiled.

Do you think... stalling for time will be useful?

It must be admitted that this batch of Seaborn may be a species that even Maria has never seen before.

Perhaps because they have been parasitic on humans from the very beginning, they do not appear to be entirely in a beastly mode; they also have their own thoughts and considerations.

They knew there were cameras in the Aegir social system, but Maria's blood attracted them, leading them to make the decision that even if it meant exposing their identities, they should still obtain the blood...

Just as Heratia retreated, a silent figure appeared behind her without her noticing.

In her moment of surprise, he grabbed her hand tightly.

As the woman beside her tried to help Heratia break free, another hand gripped her neck tightly, lifting her up!

It seemed that the other person was about to suffer a terrible misfortune.

Heratia suddenly spoke with a smile.

You've got one thing wrong.

The Seaborn were stunned for a moment.

"I am indeed waiting for someone..."

In the darkness, a pale hand slowly reached out.

They've captured Seaborn's head, who was outside!

"But I'm not waiting for the ship's guards..."

"Pfft!"

The blue blood burst open instantly!

In the blink of an eye, Maria crushed Seaborn's head, which was still outside!

Inside, Seaborn, who had captured Heratia, was still somewhat bewildered.

Her human-like side made her immediately decide that they should retreat now.

Its body began to move, and in a few swift movements, it lifted the bottle of blood, preparing to escape.

Only...

"Bang!"

Maria was faster than they expected.

In the blink of an eye, a knife was thrown out and pierced through the opponent's chest!

And all of this... was clearly seen by the guards in the monitoring room.

They stared wide-eyed at the scene unfolding before them, a spectacle straight out of a movie; a deathly silence fell over the air...

Such a significant matter is truly difficult to conceal.

Before long, everyone on the ship knew about the attack by this unfamiliar enemy.
