Chapter 577
Outside the banquet hall, there were screams and sounds of wild beasts biting.
"Where are you taking me?" Dayton was dragged out.
I quickly pulled Steven aside and signaled the others to find cover. "Hide! Quickly!"
After I finished speaking, members of Genome Society on the cruise started shooting. They killed people without discrimination, shooting anyone they saw. Everyone screamed in fear and fled in different directions. Shortly after, the banquet hall was filled with blood.
Everyone ran out crying because there were wild animals outside and mercenaries inside. They were here to completely wipe out everything.
Zion protected Rachel as they sought refuge under the table. Rachel held Ashton and Xandra close while using her hand to cover Yara's mouth. She was afraid that Yara would scream again.
On the other hand, Eason and Joel shielded Xandra Zander and took cover under the long table. The palpable scent of blood in the banquet hall heightened everyone's anxiety.
"They took Dayton away," I whispered.
Steven gestured for me to stay quiet. Now, Genome Society would eradicate all those insignificant people. The person they deemed valuable was none other than Dayton.
Several rich people were not convinced and still thought that they were valuable to Genome Society." Where's your leader? I demand to see him. Tell him we're all from Zadiff Group, and I'm Yaniel Zabel."
"That's right. We're all members of Genome Society." Those people truly believed that they would be included on the rescue list. But this cruise contained too many secrets of Genome Society. They would never allow the people on the cruise to leave alive.
"Capture them alive and eliminate the others." The leader held a tablet and compared them with the photos displayed on it.
I glanced at the corner and spotted the clever ones in hiding while the foolish ones were eager to negotiate with them. Michael shielded Una and took cover behind the air conditioner. Meanwhile, Jimmy did not attempt to hide, displaying remarkable confidence.
"They're not on the list," stated the leader as he checked his tablet. Without hesitation, he opened fire on them. The victims lay in a pool of blood, horrified.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
"Dispose of their bodies in the sea to eliminate all evidence. Let's locate the people we're searching for before the arrival of the rescue ship. Then, we'll detonate and sink the ship," the leader commanded in a resolute tone.
The leader looked back at Jimmy and compared him to the photo. "Mr. Lincoln, you may board the rescue ship now."
"I want to bring someone along," Jimmy said firmly.
The leader fell silent and stepped to the side to seek guidance. After a brief moment, he returned and asked, "Who is it?"
Jimmy gazed at Una. "Come here. Don't be afraid."
Una came out from under the table. Jimmy had directly revealed Michael's hiding spot. Michael frowned and looked at the mercenaries warily.
The leader compared Una to the photo on his tablet and nodded in approval. "You can bring her on board. Madam is waiting for you."
The woman known as "Madam" was the leader of Genome Society who oversaw this operation. Una frowned as he glanced at the leader's tablet. Then, she felt relieved and made her way out with Jimmy. Meanwhile, Michael simply stopped hiding and walked out.
"Mr. Ford, you may board first. Madam is waiting for you," the leader spoke again.
Michael was momentarily taken aback, slightly startled to find himself on the list. In a curious tone, he inquired, "Who's on the list?"
The leader showed Michael the photos, and Michael took a deep breath. Upon seeing that there were three more people on the list, he asked, "Can I take them with me, then?"
After the leader nodded, Michael called out in a low voice, "Steven and Stephany..."
Genome Society would not allow Steven and me to die. Steven was one of the participants in the soul reincarnation experiment proposed by Genome Society, and I was the most valuable experimental subject at the moment.
Steven and I exchanged glances. There were only two of us. What about Zion, Eason, and the others?
"And Joel," Michael called out the third name. Joel was also a valuable experimental subject in the soul reincarnation experiment.
