Thrive in Catastrophe by 焦糖冬瓜

Chapter 97 Destroyer

"That is so damn satisfying." Mark wiped the nutrient solution from his face. "Too many missions in there were abominable."

"The tracker shows that Jane is on the move." Casey spoke as he monitored the data.


Xiao ordered Loch and Ritz to avoid the flight path and instead blow up the central area of the base.

The ice sheet shook beneath them amid the explosions, it wouldn't be long before the entire base collapsed.

In less than a minute he opened the cabin door to see a group of Surge killers rushing out.

"AH...I am pretty sure that this will not end well." Winn gripped his sword and prepared for battle.


Loch and Ritz looked at each other in silent agreement. Suddenly a missile was launched at the group of killers running toward them.

Mark yelled out that he really wanted to jump up and kiss the two pilots.

"Xiao Yan, we can only help you at this level."

Xiao quickly looked up the internal structure of the destroyer and searched for Valentin. However, he hid himself well. The minute he invaded the battle ship, Xiao had the distinct impression that he was trapped in Valentin's mind.

"Find Jane and you will find Valentin." Casey continued to follow Jane's signal.

"Before that, we must stop his killers!"

Xiao Yan brought the layout of the destroyer up for both of them to look at. The exterior was the same as any warship of that era. It was over 200 years old, but the interior was immensely complex.

It was a fortress.

"We will enter through this channel, but we must immediately close it off. We have to prevent more killers from entering and isolate them as much as we can. This way, even if they find us, we can handle the numbers."

Casey looks over at him worried. "That means that you will have to continually control the nodes. Valentin won't let you do such a thing. He will destroy your mind."

"Let him try." Xiao reached down and pressed his palm against the ground, he closed his eyes and let his mind extend outward through the system.


Heine kneels in front of him and reaches to cup the back of Xiao's head. He leans his face toward him and his forehead gently touches Xiao's. His breath fans out over his face. "Xiao Yan, remember...now your pursuit of Valentin is not only for yourself but for your companion. Do not be impulsive, else you will pay a terrible price. You can't do anything over."

Xiao took a steadying breath. He understood what Heine was trying to tell him . A straightforward invasion will be easily intercepted by Valentin. He must be thoughtful and careful. Xiao immediately obscures his thoughts and suppresses his emotions, he quietly blends his thoughts with the battleship.

"Let's go."

They all make their way forward and the channel nodes close behind them,leaving only one path.

Occasionally they encounter killers, even Casey's clones. A group of Surge assassins form a circle around them. When Mark turns back, he moved to shove his swords through Casey's chest.

Suddenly Xiao stilled his hand.


"Hey! Look a bit more carefully. That really is Casey." Winn shoved Mark aside.

"What do you mean look more carefully? They all look the same." Mark whined as he blocked an attack from another killer.

"Casey is carrying the mobile terminal." Liv joined Winn in scolding Mark.

Heine moves ferociously through the passage. When there is no room to swing his blade, then he simply uses the hilt to crack the skulls of the killers before quickly turning and thrusting the blade through the throat of another.
