My Right Hand Allows Me to Merge Thousands of Races-Chapter 198 - 141: Return in Force, the Great Battle Begins!

After surviving the calamity, everyone was in high spirits.

Ding Xuezhu looked around and quickly spotted a tall figure in the crowd. Seeing the familiar face, her pretty face immediately revealed a look of surprise:

"Xiao Lu!"

She ran over, stood in front of Lu Xun, and looked him up and down. After confirming he was okay, she let out a long sigh of relief, "It's good that you're fine."

"Don't worry, I'm blessed with great luck. It's not that easy for me to die." Lu Xun grinned.

"This time was really thrilling." Ding Xuezhu sighed, a hint of sadness in her beautiful eyes, "We lost 26 companions, and a few of them couldn't even be found whole."

Although the encounter with the pirates was a completely uncontrollable accident, as the leader of this team, she still felt guilty and self-reproachful for not protecting her employees. 26 families lost a family member.

Among them, four people were chewed up and eaten by Basil the Sea Giant.

The mercenaries wanted to use a laser cutter to dissect Basil's body in hopes of finding some pieces of the victims' remains in his stomach to bring back to their families.

Unfortunately, Basil's body had already been reduced to ashes by one of Lu Xun's Dragon Breaths.

... Truly tragic.

These other race beings are too barbaric, too brutal, without any civility or humanity.

Fortunately, Senior Dragon King intervened to save us, or else the hundreds in the exploration team would have all died, with none surviving.

Ding Xuezhu was filled with emotion; although the crisis was over, she still felt the lingering fear.

"Are you hungry, Xiao Lu? Do you want something to eat? I'll go get it for you," she asked Lu Xun.

"I'm not hungry. Don't worry about me. I'm really fine," Lu Xun waved his hand.

"Then have a seat and rest for a bit, rest assured, we'll set off home soon."

"Isn't the exploration of the underwater ruins continuing?" he asked.

"Too many people are injured, and a lot of equipment, instruments, and mechas are damaged. We have to pause for a while. Moreover, the Blood Corpse Pirates won't let this go. We have to wait for the headquarters to ensure safety before restarting the project," she paused and continued, "But even if it restarts, we don't need to participate in the subsequent exploration tasks. Headquarters will send others."

Treasure Pavilion contracted this project primarily to find the Nine-Colored Sea Conch.

Now that the conch is in hand, the single treasure's value allows the company to not only recoup the cost but also make a substantial profit.

Even the 130 billion spent on hiring mercenaries is nothing compared to the Nine-Colored Sea Conch.

So, even if this project is directly abandoned, it doesn't matter. Treasure Pavilion has already made a killing.

However, there remains an Emperor Level Dragon Remains in the ruins, which is also immensely valuable. So the project will likely continue. After all, who would complain about making too much money?

"Find a place to rest; I'm going to check on the injured." Ding Xuezhu said to Lu Xun.

"Okay, sure."

After she left.

Lu Xun scanned the crowd and soon discovered Zhang Xinghai sitting alone, smoking, amidst some ruins not far away.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Xun walked over and greeted him.

"I heard you've been pretty lucky, didn't get caught by the pirates," Lu Xun jokingly asked him, "Do you have some kind of fortune-changing secret technique?"

"Fortune-changing secret technique? I don't need such trivial things." Zhang Xinghai shook his head, exhaled a smoke ring elegantly, and said mysteriously, "I joined the military when I was 19, fought in hundreds of battles, faced life-and-death situations over ten times, but repeatedly survived... Do you know how lucky my luckiest moment was?"

"Tell me more."

"Look at this." He turned his head, showing a hideous bullet scar on his right temple.

"I once had a consciousness control chip implanted in my brain by some thugs. Those beasts controlled me to do many heinous things for them."

"One day, they decided to dispose of me, their 'tool for committing crimes.'"

"The last command I received was 'shoot yourself in the head,' and I did it, shot point-blank in the temple, and fell to the ground," Zhang Xinghai said with a rueful smile, "Yet, the bullet didn't kill me; it precisely hit the chip, just three millimeters in diameter, freeing me from their control and restoring my consciousness."

"Brother Xiao Lu, isn't fate amazing?"

Lu Xun: "..."

Damn it, the mystery is finally revealed.

He had always been curious about how Zhang Xinghai managed to escape Xu Tanqing's control and became the only surviving Super Commissioner of the Dark Dagger plan.

This guy's luck is absolutely absurd!

Being the most professional killing machine, controlled to kill his brothers with his own hands, yet failing to kill himself... does that even make sense?

That bullet saved him instead.

After regaining his consciousness, he counterattacked those sent to "clean" him, embezzled billions from corpses, extracted a War Ghost Type-8 Exoskeleton from the bodies, and fled the agent headquarters...

Then Lu Xun got caught up in this earth-shaking case.

He slaughtered a bloody path, destroying the Xu and Li Families, while Zhang Xinghai followed him, turning the tables along the way.

However, according to Zhang Xinghai, similar "desperate comeback" stories happened over ten times in his life.

It's truly absurd.

Fate is too unfair!

Lu Xun turned away with a dark face, not wanting to say another word to this damn lucky bastard.

"It's okay, Master. In a few days, I'll help you with your luck," sounded Lillian's voice in his mind. She proudly said, "His luck won't always be that good. So what if he wins against Death God multiple times? Death God only needs to win once, and he'll lose everything. Don't envy him; I can help you get a miracle or opportunity every month. He can't do that!"

Hearing this, Lu Xun felt much more balanced, and Lillian's comfort was very effective.

**************

Thirty minutes later, all injured were attended to promptly and boarded a plane. Soon, the plane took off and disappeared into the sky.

Ding Xuezhu also gathered the others, preparing to board another plane and head home.

Buzz~

Suddenly, Lu Xun felt a warning rise within him, goosebumps appeared all over, and a strong sense of crisis quickly heightened.

He abruptly turned his head towards the distant sea horizon; all seemed calm.

His "Celestial Sense" had, after the previous breakthrough, risen to 4 levels, reaching Lv12 thanks to the concept "A Single Move Affects Ten Thousand."

The crisis sensing range greatly increased, and the warning time advanced by several seconds.

The intensity of this crisis indicated casualties, and quite a few.

"Sister Ding, before boarding, let's take a group photo as a memento," he said to Ding Xuezhu nearby without hesitation.

"Group photo?" She was momentarily stunned.

"Yes! Come, come, everyone! Look at me!" Before she could speak, Lu Xun took the initiative and shouted loudly, "I'm announcing something, come closer, let's take a group photo to commemorate."

More than a hundred members of the exploration team stopped and turned to look.

In just those few seconds, before the crowd could even think.

BOOM!!

Suddenly, a thick plasma beam traversed the sky, instantly hitting the airplane not far away.

The loud explosion was deafening, like the sky collapsing!

The plane exploded.

Flames shot into the sky, thick smoke billowed, and the terrifying shockwave swept in all directions, knocking people around.

The exploration team members, covered in dust and dirt, scrambled to their feet, staring at the burning wreckage of the plane in front of them, their faces showing astonishment.

Damn, each and every one of them felt lucky that this young Master Lu called them for a group photo.

If they had continued a bit further, a lot of them would have been killed in the explosion.

So close!

Woo—Woo—Woo—

The next second, alarms blared.

"Enemy attack!"

"Hey, it's the Blood Corpse Pirates. I knew they'd come back. Come on, let's crush them!"

"Let these pirates taste the power of our Mercenary Empire!"

The mercenaries were all excited.

The previous battle was resolved single-handedly by the "Dragon King."

They didn't do anything at all.

Now they had a fight; teaching the pirates a hard lesson made accepting that 130 billion much more satisfying!

In the distant place where the sea and sky met.

Five massive Sky Mother Ships pierced the clouds and appeared with roaring engines, brimming with massive machine guns on the hulls, spewing thick particle streams, advancing aggressively.

On the sea, a dozen warships also formed a wedge formation, roaring as they launched an attack.

An astonishingly large-scale battle erupted instantly!
