Nathan had not been wandering the Ghost Ship for long before someone shouted behind him, “Hey, you there, stop!”
Nathan halted his steps and turned around slowly.
A man with a flattop and in a military uniform stared at him coldly, narrowing his eyes.
There were several patrolling guards behind that flattop man.
They were the guards whom Nathan had met earlier!
The flattop man looked at Nathan and said with a sneer, “Look! I told you guys I wasn't hallucinating! Here he is!”
In an instant, his subordinates held up their sub-machine guns and pointed them at Nathan.
It seemed that if Nathan made a move, they would shoot him without hesitation.
Nathan said calmly, “That's really smart of you to turn back. But sometimes, being smart is not a good thing.”
The flattop man's expression darkened, and his voice was stern. “Stop talking nonsense! Who the hell are you, and how did you get on our ship? Raise your hands and surrender now, or I'll kill you on the spot!”
Nathan remained calm even in the face of the sub-machine guns and a death threat.
He slowly raised his head, looked up at the night sky, and said softly, “It seems to be raining.”
What?
The flattop man and his subordinates were stunned.
They subconsciously raised their heads too and found that the moon and stars in the sky had disappeared.
Instead, there were dense clouds and sporadic rain that kept falling down.
It was really raining!
At that moment, the flattop man suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
With a sweep of Nathan's hand, dozens of raindrops that dripped from the sky were shot forward.
Under the force of his action, the raindrops were akin to bullets as they sped toward the flattop man and his subordinates.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The raindrops hit the flattop man and his subordinates one after another.
Black Hole frowned slightly.
He asked, “What do you mean by we've lost contact with them? Did they sneak off the ship to have fun, or did something happen?”
Mable said, “The reason is not yet known, but it's already under investigation. It's estimated that there will be results in a while.”
Black Hole responded coldly, “Inform everyone on the Ghost Ship that the ship is now changing from normal mode to alert mode.”
“Yes, sir!” Mable responded.
The Ghost Ship had four different modes.
The first one was normal mode, where all the soldiers, guards, and crews on all levels could remain in a relaxed state.
The second mode was the alert mode, where all personnel had to be on alert after an occurrence of an unusual situation.
The third one was the combat mode. This was when incoming enemies were detected, and everyone had to start preparing to enter battle mode.
The last one was the battle mode. This only happened when formidable enemies had intruded into the ship. All combat units were required to assemble and destroy the enemies.
