I get stronger by sunbathing, just like Superman.

But the rioters didn't notice that a pair of eyes were watching them from the ventilation opening above their heads...

As a former Royal Marine and now the head of security for HMS Venus, Dylan felt incredibly unlucky. He had only been in office for three days when this happened. His entire security team was wiped out, and his employer, Rodriguez, had also disappeared without a trace.

Clearly, he had failed miserably, but he was a man of principle! Even though he was the only one left, he was desperately trying to save these people, although he knew that after this incident, whether he lived or died, he would probably never be able to work in the security industry again.

He was also helpless. These KB members were using high-end weapons, some of which were so advanced that he had never even seen them before. If they hadn't revealed their identities from the beginning, he would have thought that a special forces unit secretly trained by a developed country had come.

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. He had never heard of any pirate group having such good equipment, but the thugs' shameless behavior made him think he might be overthinking it.

Just as Dylan was caught in a dilemma, something seemed to be happening in the hall below…

"Who? Who's there?"

One of the armed thugs shouted loudly, and the other thugs immediately went into battle mode upon hearing the shout!

"Has it still been discovered?"

Dylan's heart tightened, and he gripped his pistol tightly. After catching his breath, he prepared to rush out and fight them...

But the next second, gunshots rang out, but they weren't aimed at him. His foot, which he had halfway out to kick the ventilation duct baffle, retracted...

???

Puzzled, Dylan leaned closer to the barrier and peered through the gaps at what lay below, only to be met with a startling sight!

Below, a dozen thugs were firing incessantly at a certain spot. Upon closer inspection, he noticed a shadowy figure, resembling a humanoid object, rapidly weaving through the hail of bullets! It was so fast that he couldn't even make out its outline, and the bullets couldn't even touch its edge. The group of people on the ground were terrified, screaming and wetting themselves in panic.

He was utterly astonished.

"What the hell is this thing?!"

To Dylan's astonishment, the humanoid object, blurring through the air, kept shifting positions on the wall, the ceiling, and the chandelier. The thugs below could only frantically sweep their hands across the ceiling, unable to touch a single hair of it. This scene enraged the thugs.

"Fuck! What the hell are you, monster?! All you do is hide? Get out here!"

Immediately afterwards, he saw the other thugs around him looking at him with terrified eyes... or rather, at the people behind him...

He immediately turned and raised his gun... but it was too late...

嘣…

The thug's head exploded like a watermelon hit with a baseball bat, its flesh splattering everywhere...

"Evil...devil!"

This scene made the other thugs forget to fire for a moment, and it also made Dylan, who was in the ventilation duct, gasp in shock...

"Die! You damned devil!"

Finally, some of the thugs reacted and roared as they spat fire at the figure, followed by a group of thugs opening fire with all their might!

But the figure moved with incredible speed, disappearing from the thugs' sight in an instant. Just as the thugs were frantically huddling together, searching frantically for the figure, a somewhat youthful voice suddenly rang out in the hall…

"There are actually people more brutal than me..."

Who are you? "

Chapter Nine: Another World Version of Aquaman

The thugs were startled and quickly looked in the direction of the sound. There was a guy who looked no more than 1.7 meters tall, of average build, and wearing swim trunks at the entrance of the hall.

Strangely, he was wearing a mask that didn't look like a mask at all, with only two dark holes for his eyes, so his face couldn't be seen.

The rioters were now like frightened birds; the moment they saw Lei Ming, they raised their guns and fired without hesitation…

However... something even more terrifying happened to the rioters...

The masked stranger remained completely still, showing no sign of dodging even as bullets rained down from over a dozen rifles…

Because the bullets only made a crisp metallic clang when they hit him, and then either fell to the ground or shattered into pieces like beans...

Lei Ming stood at the entrance of the hall, completely ignoring the constant barrage of bullets hitting him, his eyes fixed on the figure hanging upside down from the ceiling…

It was a person, or more precisely, a man, who looked to be between twenty and thirty years old, but his attire was very strange.

He wore a vest made of what looked like the skin of some kind of fish, printed with various strange patterns, and his muscles were clearly defined.

She wore the same material on her lower body, had no shoes, her long black hair was casually disheveled, and there were some strangely shaped tattoos on her arms.

A black braided rope was tied around his forehead.

The person's attire clearly didn't resemble that of a city dweller...

Lei Ming had just dealt with the thugs in other parts of the cruise ship before finally arriving here.

He was planning to take care of these dozen or so thugs all at once and leave, but he didn't expect to see this strange guy as soon as he arrived.

The strange man was also staring at Lei Ming on the ground, but his expression was one of shock, as if he was very puzzled that Lei Ming could block bullets with his bare body.

After all, he could only dodge bullets with his agile limbs and quick reflexes...

Seeing that the other party did not answer him, Lei Ming turned his gaze to the thugs.

They were already firing their second round, but even after running out of bullets, Lei Ming wasn't even scratched. One of the thugs threw a high-explosive grenade at him, and Lei Ming met it head-on with both hands...

Boom!

The grenade, held between his fingers, made a crisp sound like a milk carton being stepped on and bursting...

"hiss……"

Beneath the mask, Lei Ming couldn't help but grimace as he looked at his two palms, which were charred black from the explosion, the skin on his palms blown away, and oozing specks of crimson blood.

This was the first time he had been injured and bled in four years. The grenade had actually broken through his energy field and even injured the skin on his palm...

Feeling the numbness in his hands, Lei Ming wasn't angry. Instead, he felt that the trip hadn't been in vain, as he now had a clear understanding of his current level of defense against firearms.

Seeing that one of the thugs had already picked up an RPG, Lei Ming stopped hesitating, pushed off with his feet, created a deep pit, and lunged at the group of thugs...

Five seconds later, only Lei Ming was still standing. There were more than a dozen corpses on the ground, all of them thugs, and all of them were left with their bodies intact, because Lei Ming didn't want to get covered in blood.

After doing all this, Lei Ming looked at the ceiling again and found that the person was no longer there, but appeared in the broken window.

"Wait... shall we get to know each other?"

Lei Ming quickly said.

At that moment, the sounds of approaching helicopters and speedboats could be heard in the distance, indicating that a rescue operation was underway.

Lei Ming had naturally heard it all along. The strange man glanced out the window, then looked back at Lei Ming, before jumping into the sea without a word…

"Is it because we don't speak the language?... "

Left with no other choice, Lei Ming followed...

Five minutes after the two jumped into the sea, the people lying on the ground in the hall still dared not move.

They only got up tremblingly when they heard the helicopter. As the rescue team rushed in, they hugged each other, some crying and some laughing, celebrating their escape from death...

Meanwhile, Dylan, inside the ventilation duct, breathed a sigh of relief. The fright he had experienced today was more terrifying than anything he had ever seen in his life, and he decided that he would quit this line of work when he got back…

Beneath the surface of the sea, two figures moved one after the other at an extremely fast speed, almost surpassing all other underwater transportation in the world.

"This guy...another version of Aquaman?"

Lei Ming grew increasingly alarmed as he chased after him, realizing he couldn't catch up! In fact, the distance between them was gradually widening.

Moreover, his powerful sense of smell detected a faint smell of blood in the seawater ahead, indicating that the guy was injured!

That's understandable, though. After all, under that kind of widespread firepower, even the fastest person would inevitably get hit. But the fact that he was able to leave me behind despite being injured shows that his physique is definitely not simple...

This shocked him greatly, and he was also very curious, as he had finally come into contact with the supernatural power of this world!

He mustered all his strength and increased his swimming speed again. Unconsciously, he mobilized his own energy field, completely freeing his hands and feet. Even without moving his body, he could shoot out of the sea like a sharp arrow.

Due to the sudden and significant increase in speed, a shockwave-like airflow even appeared behind them…

In an instant, he caught up with the figure in front of him!

Lei Ming seized the opportunity and quickly reached out to grab the person, but just as he was about to touch the person's shoulder... the person suddenly turned and darted in another direction at an angle that defied the laws of physics.

Lei Ming only had time to grab the braided rope off his forehead...

In that instant, the man turned his head, his sharply defined face facing Lei Ming, and a look of fear appeared in his emerald green eyes…

Lei Ming stared in astonishment at the center of his forehead... where the headband had previously covered it, there was a horizontal arc... No! That wasn't a line!

That was clearly a closed eye!

Three eyes?!

As Lei Ming was taken aback, his speed slowed down by half a beat. Seeing this, the three-eyed man immediately turned around again, seemingly realizing that although Lei Ming was fast in a straight line, he wasn't good at sharp turns...

After venturing deeper into the ocean and winding its way through countless twists and turns, the three-eyed man's presence completely vanished from Lei Ming's sensing range...

On the sea, the sun had completely set, the bright moon shone high, and countless stars twinkled.

Lei Ming poked his head out of the sea, gazing thoughtfully at the woven rope in his hand.

It's a pity he hasn't had the White Queen with him for a long time, otherwise he could have it search online for clues about the origins of the three-eyed man based on the material and patterns of the woven rope...

He can't catch up with the three-eyed man now, so he can only go back and let the White Queen take a look.

but…

Lei Ming looked around at the boundless ocean and felt a headache coming on...
