179 So Long, Friend
“Target spotted! Target spotted!”
“Commence bombardment!”
At this moment, in the sky above the deserted island, several fighter jets immediately launched an attack upon discovering Wang Mang.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of bombs had been dropped. They clearly intended to make this place his burial ground.
Of course, Wang Mang also realized this, but he had not expected the system to issue a mission at this juncture.
He still needed to choose a mission option!
Looking into the distance, he saw warships in the sea.
He did not delude himself into thinking that he could defeat even a single warship. That level of firepower was not something that he could handle.
Therefore, there was only one realistic option for him to choose.
“System, I choose Option 3!”
[Ding! Host has successfully selected the mission option! Please complete the mission as soon as possible to obtain the reward!]
At this moment, Wang Mang had no time to bother with the system’s notification.
The first thing he did was to twist his huge body and quickly slither toward the sea.
He had to avoid being bombed into oblivion!
If he stuck around, both him and the island would be toast, quite literally!
There were so many bombs!
Flustered, Wang Mang fled for his life.
‘If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have helped the Octopus King!’
‘Perhaps this is karma…’
At this moment.
Bang!
Rumble!
Bang!
Rumble!
The cave where Wang Mang had emerged from had already collapsed, and flames covered many parts of the island.
Wang Mang screamed in pain as he was hit by the debris.
“Ah! F*ck! I’ve got to keep running!”
He endured the pain as best he could as he made his way to the shore at top speed.
When he looked up, he saw that there were still fighter jets flying above his head.
This was simultaneously both terrifying and exciting!
Fueled by his adrenaline, Wang Mang’s senses were heightened, as he did his best to dodge the falling bombs as he ran.
Even so, he was in a sorry state and riddled with injuries.
After all, it was impossible for him to fully avoid the blast zone and debris from the explosions. A few times, he almost took direct hits.
He would have been turned into minced meat if he made the wrong move.
“Just you wait, Blue Empire! Once I become strong enough, I’ll definitely go and mess with you!”
As Wang Mang fled, he gritted his teeth and cursed in pain.
The Blue Empire was bullying snakes!
F*ck!
There were so many people of different skin colors on the cruise ship, yet it was the weapon maniacs of the Blue Empire who had enthusiastically come to hunt them down.
Furthermore, they did not skimp on the troops they sent, and were packing so much heat!
Did they hate snakes that much?
Damn it! He was just an accomplice!
The main culprit was the Octopus King!
However, what Wang Mang did not know was that the Octopus King was in an even worse state than he was.
At this moment, in the sea near the deserted island, there were eight fully armed warships attacking the Octopus King.
The dense barrage of artillery fire and torpedoes was ripping apart the Octopus King, and he was struggling to stay alive.
Those ship cannons were no joke!
As the Octopus King thrashed about, he created giant waves that continuously crashed against the surface of the sea.
The Octopus King had even tried to attack the warship, but failed to make an impact.
