Revenge After Death ( Michael Ford )
Chapter 578

Chapter 578

Unfortunately, apart from the three of us, everyone else would be eliminated.

"Captain, the bomb has been planted." A mercenary walked in.

I furrowed my brows and cast a wary glance at those mercenaries. Ashton and Xandra were still on the cruise, and Steven and I wouldn't leave Zion and the others behind.

"Find the people we're searching for," the leader ordered.

The mercenaries commenced their search. Steven shielded me and exchanged a knowing look with Ashton. In an instant, Ashton understood Steven's message and whistled at the banquet hall's door. The wolfhounds all rushed in, baring their teeth at the mercenaries with guns. Following Ashton's command, the wolfhounds rushed toward the mercenaries. We used this chance to escape.

"The cruise is going to sink soon, and they plan to blow it up. What should we do?" asked Eason. "Aren't you a genius? Why are you asking us?" Joel exclaimed. The two were about to fight again.

I furrowed my brows and stopped them. "This isn't the right time to argue. Let's go back to our room first.

I gazed meaningfully at Yara, who lowered her head guiltily and sought refuge behind Rachel.

"Let's return to the room first. I'll use satellite communication to send our location and guide the rescue ship to us." Zion assured our safety as we expedited our departure.

We found Maverick injured in the corridor when we reached our room. He seemed seriously hurt after being bitten. His "allies" seemed to have abandoned him. Just as we were going to enter the room, he reached out and stopped us. "Don't go in."

He mustered the last of his strength to speak, "They've entered your room."

We peered down the corridor with vigilance, knowing that the mercenaries were closing in on us. There were no other options. The satellite communication equipment was still in the room.

Zion had no choice but to take the risk. He opened the door and rushed into the room. When he entered, he found Stan being beaten by those people. He was covered in blood. It was likely they were unaware that Stan was a lunatic. They assumed Stan was associated with us.

Who would have thought that Stan was a lunatic? The more he was beaten, the crazier he laughed. As we entered the door, the group turned around and looked at us.

At this moment, Stan rushed toward the leader and stabbed him in the neck, specifically targeting the carotid artery. Stan laughed maniacally while still covered in blood.

The leader placed his hands on his neck in shock. But before he could react to Stan, he fell to the ground and died. Stan continued to laugh uncontrollably.

"They left. The small boat left." Stan pointed out the window. The masked woman managed to escape with Ewan and Dayton, and the members of Genome Society were chasing them.

"If you all want to live, you'd better behave!" Zion warned the remaining people. Then, he pressed Stan to the ground, tied him up, and threw him to Eason.

He pried open the gap in the wall and retrieved the satellite communication equipment, fully prepared to contact the rescuers. The sound of gunshots grew increasingly nearer, as did the barking of dogs. It was evident that the mercenaries were approaching.

With a loud bang, the door was suddenly kicked open. The mercenaries entered with guns, killing without mercy.

"Take the people we look for and leave no one else alive!" Just as the leader was about to take action, the cruise ship suddenly jolted violently, and the bomb detonated prematurely.

The deafening sound was followed by another series of explosions, causing the massive cruise ship to begin to tilt. In that intense moment, Steven instinctively shielded me in his arms and protected Ashton and Xandra. He used his own body as a cushion as the cruise ship slid down.

"Dad..."

"The cruise is sinking! It's filling up with water!"

"Leave!"

"Hurry up!"
