Chapter 202 - Reunion
Who wouldn't feel fear in the face of death? His tears stread down his cheeks as his heart pounded loudly and beat fast against his chest. The gunshots behind him as his ch killed the Zergs flying behind him increased the fear and panic he felt.
He heard his light brain beeped and he saw there was an incoming call from Kale. He helplessly sighed and wiped his tears before he answered the call. Then, as if thinking of sothing, he manipulated his ch to fly where the strongest spiritual fluctuation is.
That is where the Zergs' queen is.
"Howee!" Kale and Sam, the Empress, cried together when their call finally connected.
Howee closed his eyes, but he was smiling helplessly when he heard his friends' voices. "Kale. Sam." He called..
"Howee, you… wait a little longer! I've already sent the guards for a rescue – " Kale said, his voice frantic.
"Kale." He cut him off. "You know it won't work. My uncle, Lewis, and even Harry Walter, they all… they won't make it in ti." He bitterly smiled. "Kale." He called before Kale and Sam could speak. "I am glad I et you in this lifeti." He told them and ended the call when he felt a strong spiritual energy attacked him. "NGH!" he cried when he felt a head-splitting pain. He gritted his teeth as he persevered to make his cha advance while wrapping his own spiritual energy on his ch to defend against the queen Zerg. "AAAAAAARRRRRHHHHH!!!!!" he scread as his ch shot towards the queen Zerg. "DIE!" he yelled as he pressed the red button on his ch, indicating for his ch to explode.
A loud boom was heard, followed by a black smoke rising towards the sky. Upon seeing the smoke, a ch rose from the ground. The Zerg approached it, but the ch veiled its body. Its pilot shot a last look at the black smoke, then to Howee's ch that exploded earlier, before his ch finally left the Zerg planet.
Not more than an hour he left, a group of chs flew to the Zerg planet and annihilated the Zergs they see. Huo Jinghua, Gerard Jackson, Lewis Johnson, and Harry Walter all ca out of their cha and checked Howee's exploded cha.
"Look for Howee!" they ordered.
In a scorched land which was the planet's Zerg queen's territory, Huo Ling slowly opened his eyes. He felt very weak.
From sowhere, he heard the sound of footsteps. The owner of the footsteps should be wearing leather shoes, which is a wonder. Everyone should be wearing a protective suit which was paired with boots –
Huo Ling's mind made a halt. Wait – why did I think, 'should be'? Do I know sothing? What is it? what do I know? Why can't I rember? He thought as he closed his eyes in confusion. He tried to reorganize his thoughts, as well as tried to recall as much as he can his mories. Yet, the more he thinks, the more he cannot recall what is it he is supposed to recall.
"Stop thinking. You'll strain your soul more." A cold and deep but pleasant voice spoke. "Your soul is too weak after exhausting it. You'll just be more ntally, and spiritually, tired. Rest your mind." He told him.
"Who…?" Huo Ling opened his eyes to see the owner of the voice.
"Stubborn." The voice said. The next mont, Huo Ling felt sleepier. "Just rest first. This world… is too difficult." The voice said as if with a sigh.
Huo Ling can't think deeply after that, since he was overco with sleepiness. His eyes slowly closed and he lost his consciousness as he fell asleep.
Yi Bing watched Huo Ling slept and he heaved a sigh. He finally t him again, but he didn't expect for Huo Ling to be weakened to this state where his soul is so pale and almost disappearing. He was already depressed at the thought that the only way he could et Huo Ling is for Huo Ling to die. Other than that, he can only see him, watch him from afar.
How pitiful I am. He thought as he looked at the sky with a dramatic and pitiful expression before he turned his expression to a serious one.
This is a Special World, and the type is an interstellar world. In this world, the humans were living in the outer space after they were forced to live their world that ended in destruction after an apocalypse or two. Then, as they adapted to their life in space, their body inevitably needed to adapt. Their physique made a gradual change, and they awakened their spiritual strength, which is also connected to their ntal strength. The lowest rank is F, while the highest rank is SSS.
Huo Ling was born with an S-rank spiritual strength, and his physical strength is A-rank. His soul should beco stronger in this world, but because of the way he died, his soul beca weaker instead.
"Ha." Yi Bing sighed as he lanted Huo Ling's fate. "Why is he always unfortunate?" he asked before he turned when he heard the gunshots and explosions afar. Then, he saw several chs approaching their way.
But, even though a person with SSS-rank spiritual strength arrives, they wouldn't see Yi Bing nor Huo Ling. Unlike the Western supernatural world before where they can see the grim reapers and the soul, this world was set for the grim reapers and the souls to be invisible. The humans' strength – spiritual and physical, may have developed in advance, but this world is more inclined to the developnt of the science. This is a sci-fi world.
And grim reapers and souls are irrational, science-wise. Thus, they wouldn't see Yi Bing nor the now soul Huo Ling.
"Howee…" Lewis Johnson sharply inhaled when they saw the vast landscape was scorched. One could infer that it was caused by an explosion – and a large-scale explosion at that.
Huo Jinghua's tears fell while Gerard Jackson howled in grief. Harry Walter's expression is ice-cold as he punched his cha.
Howee died from the explosion after he and his cha self-destructed.
