CHAPTER 21: CHAPTER 20: SINCE THEY ARE ENEMIES, ISN’T IT APPROPRIATE FOR THEM TO DIE?

Lin Qianxuan ran all the way, not feeling tired at all.

His heartbeat quickened slightly, not because of the intense exercise, but because of the excitement in his heart.

Even in his dreams, he never thought he would have such a day.

To be hunted just like in the movies.

In Longshou River Park, it was almost midnight now.

There was naturally no one around, Lin Qianxuan hung up his call with Golden Mary and looked towards Longshou River.

The river water roared ferociously, reflecting the light of dozens of moons in the sky.

Only when seeing these moons did Lin Qianxuan truly feel that the world had changed, and everything was different.

Suddenly, Chen Long’Er came to Lin Qianxuan’s side, holding his hand tightly.

"Are you scared?" Lin Qianxuan asked.

Chen Long’Er shook his head and said, "I caused you trouble."

"How could that be?" Lin Qianxuan reached out, touched Chen Long’Er’s cheek, and said, "It’s them who are bad, not letting us go home."

He squeezed Chen Long’Er’s fluffy ears casually.

They felt very nice, but Chen Long’Er seemed a bit tickled, and her ears twitched a little.

Chen Long’Er lay by the railing, looking into the distance, she seemed to notice something and said, "I think I swam over from there, where is our home?"

"Over there." Lin Qianxuan pointed in the direction of Xuan Country.

"Then I got the direction wrong." Chen Long’Er said somewhat regretfully.

"Maybe it’s a good thing for me." Lin Qianxuan smiled and said.

"You don’t want me to go back?" Chen Long’Er asked in confusion.

"No, it’s just that if you had found the right direction, maybe I would never have met you." Lin Qianxuan looked into Chen Long’Er’s brown eyes.

Silence fell between the two, Chen Long’Er had never encountered such a situation and did not know how to respond.

"Do you mind talking about your past? I know you’ve been through a lot, but I think speaking out might make it feel a little better." Lin Qianxuan asked.

"There’s nothing I can’t say." Chen Long’Er didn’t mind talking about her past, she said, "I lived in a room like an iron box since I was little, there were many similar iron boxes, there was a communal canteen, with a TV, and people who taught us to speak their language..."

Lin Qianxuan listened silently, feeling more and more pity for Chen Long’Er before him, while also growing quietly angry towards the Longsi Family across the ocean.

The world is very dark, and Lin Qianxuan, as a lower-class orphan, felt it all the more vividly.

But he was after all in Xuan Country, a country where peace and humanistic care were core.

No matter how much exploitation, they would always provide him with basic living security.

However, abroad it was completely different.

The oppression and control from the upper to the lower echelons were absolute.

The power to decide life and death was not concealed at all.

This is why such inhumane experimental bases appeared.

This sort of thing is unthinkable in Xuan Country.

Shortly after, Chen Long’Er briefly finished her story, and said to Lin Qianxuan, "I’m done, what about you? How did you live in the past?"

"Me?" Lin Qianxuan, upon hearing this, his memories returned to the past, he said slowly, "Since I can remember, I grew up in Happy Welfare Institute. Although I didn’t have parents, the dean and others treated us well, and there were so many brothers and sisters..."

Lin Qianxuan didn’t have much resentment towards his past.

Even his parents who abandoned him, he didn’t really hate.

In his view, it was like he had been born directly into the institute, never having parents.

None he had seen or that existed, so where would the hatred come from.

In the struggle for survival, those emotions were very meaningless.

People only think of so many things when they have had their fill.

Lin Qianxuan first drank milk when he was eight years old, it was distributed by the country.

Before that, he really hadn’t tasted it.

The notebooks donated by kind-hearted people, they would carefully fill every blank place, trying not to waste any space.

The notes they finished studying would also have to be left for the younger siblings to use.

Later on, with the help of a kind-hearted person, the dean opened an account and shared the daily life, sometimes receiving aid and donations from society, life improved quite a bit.

Lin Qianxuan also at this time received national assistance, got a spot, and went to university.

Unfortunately, the learning resources he had were too few, and he enrolled late, his learning ability was limited, he missed many things, and ultimately only graduated from a third-rate university.

Still, compared to Chen Long’Er, or even the majority of the lower class in the world, his past was very happy.

Therefore, Lin Qianxuan, after growing up, didn’t harbor any deep-seated grievances.

On the contrary, he was very grateful for it all.

Grateful to the country, to the kind-hearted people in society, and even more grateful to the dean and them.

"Very ordinary, I’m just an ordinary person." Lin Qianxuan concluded, looking at Chen Long’Er.

"Very special." Chen Long’Er shook her head slightly, grasping Lin Qianxuan’s hand, she said, "To me, you are the most special, more special than anyone."

If it was just about the Dragon Bloodline, they were indeed the most special in the world.

Without needing to deliberately look, Lin Qianxuan could already feel the increase in the power of the bloodline within him.

He faintly couldn’t control the growth of Scale Armor on his body surface.

The power of the bloodline needs to go through several processes.

The process of Half-Dragon Transformation occurs after awakening, due to limited control ability.

Once the bloodline continues to grow and can be fully controlled, it will be possible to transform back into the original human form.

And if it becomes even stronger, it will be possible to trace back to the original form in the ancient bloodline, the True Dragon.

That is a power that exists only in legends.

It can summon winds and rain, and overturn rivers and seas with its mighty power!

"Tutututututu~!"

The sound of the propeller spinning accompanies a high-intensity searchlight coming towards Longshou River from this direction.

Lin Qianxuan understood that their location had been exposed.

He should have been nervous, but at this moment, he actually felt relaxed instead.

Lin Qianxuan buried his phone under a tree, and then said to Chen Long’Er, "Actually, I’ve never swum before in my entire life."

"It’s very easy." Chen Long’Er gestured with her hands and explained, "It’s even easier than running on the ground."

"Teach me," Lin Qianxuan said with a smile.

"Okay!" Chen Long’Er nodded.

Lin Qianxuan took out the Cyan Fruit he brought, gave one to Chen Long’Er, ate two himself, and then threw the bottle into the trash.

With the addition of the Dragon Bloodline, the boost brought by the Cyan Fruit to Lin Qianxuan was not as significant as imagined.

He only felt a slight mental uplift.

Then, Lin Qianxuan and Chen Long’Er went to the riverbank, exchanged glances, and jumped into the river together.

If this scene was seen by others, they might mistakenly think it was a lovers’ suicide.

However, in this river, it is impossible for two Dragon Bloodline possessors to drown.

Splash~!!

Upon entering the water, Lin Qianxuan felt a particular sense of comfort, like his entire body was relaxing.

The water flowed around him, and every stream seemed to be under his control, changing according to his will.

On Lin Qianxuan’s skin, patches of red Scale Armor naturally appeared, and the water flowed beneath them, decomposing and absorbing the necessary oxygen into his body, creating thrust to propel him forward.

A tail extended from his spine at the back, tearing through his clothes but swaying freely.

This tail was like a fish tail, yet different.

Lin Qianxuan’s fingers transformed into sharp claws, and when he touched his head, two red crystal-like horns stretched back, the tips extremely sharp, the material unknown.

Surely it’s not made of calcium?

Lin Qianxuan turned his head to look at Chen Long’Er, his throat vibrating to transmit sound to her.

"Let’s see who’s faster," Lin Qianxuan said.

"Mhm." Chen Long’Er nodded slightly.

Then, the two released each other’s hands.

In the next moment, two figures shot out suddenly in the river, and on the water’s surface, two lines could be vaguely seen extending at a terrifying speed towards the distance.

The swimming speed underwater was indeed faster than running on the shore.

To them, the river water did not present resistance; on the contrary, it was a force of assistance.

Moreover, with the 50% movement speed boost from the Sound Talisman, Lin Qianxuan’s speed was at least two or three times faster compared to being on land.

Chen Long’Er’s speed was no longer as fast as his.

However, Lin Qianxuan did not surpass her immediately; instead, he slowed down midway, approached her, and gently held her hand, advancing together.

Following the current of Longshou River, they broke through the port and went straight into the vast sea.

Invisibly, a strange wave transmitted over, falling upon the two of them.

Lin Qianxuan and Chen Long’Er rose slightly towards the sea surface, faintly seeing the silhouettes of several gigantic ships.

In the game, Lin Qianxuan didn’t consider them big; the top-down perspective seemed so. But now, they seemed like colossal entities.

Naturally, a sense of oppression invaded.

Their speed couldn’t be compared to the ships at all.

Over the years, scientific and technological advancements have rapidly progressed worldwide. It’s said that warships in Xuan Country can easily reach speeds in excess of 100 knots.

Converting that, it’s approximately over 180 kilometers per hour.

The battleships here weren’t that exaggerated, but were at least above 150 kilometers per hour.

Lin Qianxuan felt his speed in the ocean was at most 120-130 kilometers per hour.

This speed estimation, with his current thinking ability, wasn’t difficult.

They’ve now been spotted by the battleships, which are quickly converging.

Lin Qianxuan knew full well that the possibility of him and Chen Long’Er escaping near the sea was low.

He carefully recalled what he did in the game strategy.

Among the three ships, he chose the one in the middle, boarded the battleship, killed the people on board, took control of the ship, was threatened by Takamaki Qingji, made a life-and-death promise with Chen Long’Er, obtained the last Sound Talisman, received the boost from the song [Dragon Heart], and then wreaked havoc!

"Time to kill," Lin Qianxuan murmured to himself.

The most violent thing he had done growing up was breaking a black intermediary’s leg while working.

He hadn’t killed anyone before.

Surprisingly, he didn’t feel afraid at this moment.

Instead, he felt a bit of anticipation.

Since they are the enemy, isn’t it rightful for them to die?
