Doomsday Sequence Caravan: I Have a Mechanical Heart

Su Mu flashed to the window, lifted the curtain, and looked outside. He saw that many people had already jumped into the sea, completely unaware that they were immersed in their own illusions.

Further out on the sea, a hazy gray fog appeared, within which a huge figure could be vaguely seen, like a giant mermaid.

Then he noticed the ship was turning around and heading towards the gray fog. His expression changed instantly, and he quickly grabbed An Xin's hand and rushed towards the wheelhouse. "Come on, let's go find Cheng Jun and the others!"

"Why are you looking for them?" An Xin didn't realize the seriousness of the situation and asked as she ran alongside Su Mu.

"The ship is heading towards that gray fog," Su Mu said gravely. "We must stop it as soon as possible, or it will be very dangerous."

"But something strange has happened?" An Xin asked hurriedly upon hearing this, her voice tinged with nervousness.

"That's good." Su Mu noticed the strangeness in her voice, turned to look at her, and gently comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"Mmm." An Xin quickly agreed, her nervousness disappearing and replaced by a faint smile.

Soon, the two arrived at the driver's seat. As soon as they entered, they saw Ling Hao and Song Weiwei covering their ears with their hands and closing their eyes, trying their best to shake off the influence of the illusion.

Zhang Yuan steered the boat with shining eyes, muttering something under his breath, as if there were countless treasures ahead.

There's no sign of Yuyao here; we don't know where he went.

Cheng Jun had already opened the window, climbed halfway out, and was about to jump.

Yao Zhe followed behind him, a greedy glint in his eyes, saying repeatedly, "So much food, this is wonderful! We'll never have to worry about food again."

Su Mu was startled and didn't dare hesitate for a moment. He darted out and rushed behind Cheng Jun, grabbed his belt, and pulled him down from the window, shouting loudly,

"Cheng Jun, wake up!"

The sound was quite loud, startling Cheng Jun. His dazed eyes cleared a bit. "Hey, Su Mu, what are you doing here?"

"Aren't you in the castle up ahead?"

"When did I get to the castle?" Su Mu knew this was what he was seeing and quickly said, "This is on a ship. You were affected by the siren's eerie voice."

As he spoke, he grabbed Yao Zhe, who had already reached the window and was about to jump out, and shouted, "You come back here!"

"Brother Mu!" Yao Zhe's eyes flickered, and he regained some of his senses. "I was wrong."

He lowered his head and stood behind Su Mu, not daring to say anything more.

"Brother Mu, Yao Yao isn't here." An Xin grabbed Su Mu's hand, a look of panic flashing across her face. "She didn't already jump, did she?"

"Cheng Jun, go and stop Zhang Yuan right now." Su Mu responded to An Xin, then looked at Cheng Jun, "Let's go find Yu Yao."

"Okay." Cheng Jun's eyes were just about to glaze over when he quickly slapped himself twice. The burning pain on his face brought him back to his senses. He turned and went to Zhang Yuan, shoving him to the ground.

"Wake up!"

Su Mu, holding An Xin's hand, looked at Yao Zhe and said, "Come with me, let's go find Yu Yao."

"Yes," Yao Zhe quickly replied.

"Su Mu." Ling Hao's voice suddenly rang out, "Yu Yao went to room 218, you guys go check on her quickly."

"Also, there's Xiaoying in room 219. Make sure nothing happens to her."

"I understand." Su Mu nodded and hurriedly left.

On the way to his cabin, Yao Zhe kept his head down and slapped himself every now and then to keep himself alert.

An Xin was held by Su Mu's hand the whole time. Although she would see those illusions again, Su Mu seemed to have a strange power that reduced the impact on her.

Soon, they arrived outside room 218. Through the window in the door, Su Mu saw Yu Yao lying on the bed, fast asleep, seemingly unaffected by the sea monster's eerie voice.

Seeing this, An Xin felt much relieved. "Let's go check on Xiao Ying."

The three then arrived at the door of room 219 where Nie Xiaoying was. They saw Nie Xiaoying sitting cross-legged on the bed, her face extremely pale, and large beads of sweat on her forehead.

"Xiao Ying, open the door," Su Mu called out.

Upon hearing Su Mu's voice, Nie Xiaoying hurriedly got out of bed, went to the door, and opened it. Before Su Mu could speak, she spoke first, her voice hoarse, "Barrier, your barrier can resist this sound."

Upon hearing this, Su Mu immediately went to Zhu Meng's barrier, quickly sensed Zhu Meng, and said in his mind, "Zhu Meng, open the barrier and protect the entire ship!"

After he spoke to Zhu Meng, a white light appeared on Zhu Meng's car. Just a few seconds later, a circular barrier about fifty or sixty meters in size enveloped most of the ship.

Then, Su Mu felt the sound subside considerably, and Nie Xiaoying's expression softened a bit. Clearly, she had been using some kind of force to stay conscious.

Yao Zhe's eyesight had cleared considerably, and he no longer needed to slap himself to stay alert.

"Are you staying here, or coming with us to the driver's seat?" Su Mu asked Nie Xiaoying.

"I'll stay here," Nie Xiaoying said, looking at him. "I can't be of any help if I go over there."

"Alright." Su Mu didn't linger there. "Lock the door and be careful."

"Okay," Nie Xiaoying replied.

Su Mu and the other two went to the driver's seat again. When they passed Yu Yao's room, An Xin glanced inside again and found that Yu Yao was still fast asleep, seemingly unaware of any movement outside.

This made her feel a little strange. She glanced at Su Mu's back, thought for a moment, and then decided not to say anything.

Soon, they were back in the driver's seat.

Although Cheng Jun changed the direction of the ship in time, the gray fog was rapidly drifting towards them.

The figure within the gray mist grew clearer, revealing itself to be a bizarre mermaid-like sea monster, standing twenty or thirty meters tall. Its enormous eyes were blood-red, utterly terrifying.

It was holding a trident that looked rotten, and it was more than ten meters long. If it were to hit their ship, it would definitely destroy the ship and kill everyone on board.

"Su Mu, what do we do now?" Cheng Jun turned to look at Su Mu, his expression extremely grave.

On land, he would have already transformed into a giant and charged forward, but now at sea, he couldn't unleash his full power. Not only him, but Ling Hao and the other two were in the same predicament.

Su Mu narrowed his eyes, drew the Flowing Light from his waist, and said, "Just steer the boat well."

"I'll go to the deck and deal with it with the Gatling gun first."

"However, once I make my move, that barrier will be broken."

"You all need to take precautions."

Then, he looked at Yao Zhe and said, "Go to room 219 and keep watch outside Nie Xiaoying's room. We can't let anything happen to her."

Yao Zhe quickly agreed and turned to leave.

"I'll go too," Ling Hao said, and followed.

Su Mu looked at An Xin, "Come on, come with me to the deck."

"Okay." An Xin nodded in response.
