[Irritable Dragon King]: This broken cell is suffocating me to death! When can I go out?
[Giant God]: Dragon King, please be patient. If you feel really bored, you can log off first.
[Little Princess Money]: Yes, Dragon King, let’s go offline together. You go shopping with me.
[Irritable Dragon King]: Then I’d better stay here.
[Rakshasa]: If we wait a little longer, there should be news soon.
[Little Bird Yiren]: Why are you so sure?
[Use the knife but not emotion]: During the last meeting, the captain said that there was a shortage of food on the Ark. And we didn’t gain much from this operation, so he will definitely urge the exploration team to go to the mirror world to find food again.
And we porters are indispensable, so we will definitely be brought along.
[Liu Yueying]: Well, I think so too. Please don’t go offline yet.

The door lock was suddenly opened. Zhang Ze raised his head and saw Shirley standing outside the door.
"Come out, the captain is waiting for you in the conference room."
Zhang Ze walked out of the cell and saw that the giant god, dragon king and others were also released. Everyone looked at each other with a hint of excitement in their eyes.
[Moonlight Rabbit]: Brother Rakshasa is really right, we are released!
【Escape】: I finally left this dark and small place. I never want to come in again!
[The Melancholy of the Sky]: Strange, why is it that the person looking for us is not Hank but Shirley?
[Rakshasa]: I think Hank is a very principled person. I guess he still doesn’t agree to let us return. It’s probably Shirley who helped us.
Afterwards, the group of people followed Shirley out of the cell and returned to the conference room of the exploration team. The old captain and other team members were waiting here, except for Hank.
[Knowing Autumn Overnight]: Hank isn’t here? The situation is a bit abnormal. Could it be that he was dismissed?
[Use the knife without emotion]: Maybe he doesn’t want to do it anymore.
[Giant God]: Let’s see what the old captain said.
Everyone sat down and the old captain said to them with a serious expression: "You made a very serious mistake last time and you deserve to be punished!"
"However, Captain Shirley said that your performance has been very good, and now is the time to hire people, so I think I can give you another chance."
"Remember, you will never make the same mistake as last time in the future, otherwise... don't come back!"
Zhang Ze narrowed his eyes slightly and thought to himself: "The old captain just said 'Captain Shirley'. Could it be that...she replaced Hank?"
Shirley stood up and said seriously to everyone: "I know some people are wondering why Captain Hank didn't come."
"I have approached Captain Hank before. He said that he has been very tired recently and wants to take some rest. Therefore, the captain ordered me to temporarily replace Captain Hank and become the new captain of the exploration team."
"I know that my experience is not as rich as that of Mr. Gou, and my ability is not as strong as Captain Hank's, but I will not back down and will definitely work hard to fulfill my responsibilities. I hope everyone will cooperate with me and complete the mission assigned to us by the captain. "
Both Gou Ye and Charlie nodded, indicating that they recognized Shirley as the new captain.
Zhang Ze, Jushen and others have no say. Anyway, no matter who is the captain, they are all porters.
"As long as I can leave the cell, I don't care who becomes the captain!" the irritable Dragon King muttered in a low voice.
The old captain stood up again and said: "Captain Shirley, the food on the Ark can only last for two days, so I hope you can set off immediately. I know you have only been back for a dozen hours, but time is tight, please!"
"Yes! Captain!" Shirley nodded seriously: "We will work hard to complete the mission in a while!"
Then everyone got up and rushed to the warehouse, where preparations had been made and all staff were in place. After passing the inspection, the group stepped into the mirror.
The old captain looked at the mirror and gradually returned to normal, and sighed thoughtfully. For some reason, he felt uneasy and always felt that something big was about to happen.
"Maybe I'm too tired recently..."
He rubbed his temples and said to the men next to him: "I have to go back and take a rest first. If Captain Shirley and the others come back, remember to notify me as soon as possible."
After the explanation, the old captain turned around and was about to leave, when he suddenly found the door of the warehouse opened and a figure wandered in.
"Hank?"
Seeing the person coming, the old captain was a little surprised and asked strangely: "Hank, don't you want to rest for a while? Why are you here?"
"㗅㗅..."
Hank didn't speak, he just tilted his head and looked at the old captain indifferently, making meaningless sounds in his mouth, and saliva flowed down the corners of his mouth.
"What's wrong with you? Are you okay?" The old captain frowned. He felt something was wrong with Hank.
Suddenly, Hank screamed strangely and rushed towards this side!
A soldier stretched out his hand to stop him, but he bit his throat open and blood spurted out!
"Hank! Are you crazy?"
The old captain was so frightened that he backed away. Seeing that Hank killed two soldiers in a row, he finally reacted and ordered: "Hank has turned into a monster, kill him!"
Chuchuchu!
The surrounding soldiers immediately raised their guns and fired. Countless bullets penetrated Hank's body, and clouds of blood mist exploded.
But Hank seemed to be unaware of the pain and still rushed forward, and was eventually shot to pieces.
The gunfire stopped and the scene became quiet. Everyone stared at the mutilated corpse on the ground with pale faces and lingering fear.
The old captain slowly walked up to Hank's corpse with a complicated expression. He didn't know how Hank became like this, but he suspected that it must have something to do with the mirror world.
"After many layers of inspection, it is impossible for the man in the mirror to get away with it. The shark is an example, so Hank cannot be the man in the mirror."
"But why did he become like this?"
"Could it be that...Hank was infected with a mysterious virus in the mirror world? That's why he turned into a monster?"
Thinking of this, the old captain was so frightened that he backed away, fearing that he might also be infected with the mysterious virus.
At this moment, he found that Hank's head was shaking on its own. At the same time, the pair of dead fish-like eyes looked at him, and a strange smile appeared on the bloodless face!
"How is this going?"
The old captain was startled. He immediately took out his gun and aimed it at Hank's head, shouting: "No matter what kind of monster you are! Go to hell!"
Boom!
His bullet accurately hit Hank's forehead, and the next moment, something came out of the bleeding bullet hole.
It's a man the size of a matchstick, and he looks exactly like Hank!
"Mirror, the person in the mirror!"
The old captain's eyes widened in disbelief.
"I have put in place layers of prevention and control measures. How could the man in the mirror enter the Ark?"
"Also, why is he so small? It's like he comes from Lilliput!"
Just when he was confused, the villain version of "Hank" spoke.
"Haha, Captain, your precious Ark is going to be ruined!"
The corners of the old captain's eyes kept twitching. He raised his gun again and roared hysterically: "My Ark will not be destroyed, die, monster!"
The bullet hit "Hank" and immediately interrupted him. However, he quickly returned to his original state and rushed towards this side with a grin.
"Shoot! Kill it!"
The soldiers received the order and fired tongues of fire again from their guns. The bullets were as dense as a rainstorm, drowning "Hank".
After the old captain retreated into the crowd, he watched "Hank" being beaten to pieces, then restored to his original shape, broken again, restored again...
"It can't be killed...this thing can't be killed..."
His face turned pale, and he looked back at the floor-to-ceiling mirror. He recalled in his mind the last time when the colonel took the initiative to hold the "shark" and rushed into the mirror in order to protect the Ark...
"Who can sacrifice their lives to protect the Ark this time?"
Shaking his head, the old captain knew that no one would sacrifice his life like the colonel.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and thought of a way.
"Guards, follow me!"
The old captain called his escort, quietly exited the warehouse, and then ordered people to completely seal the big iron door of the warehouse!
Yes, his solution was to seal the warehouse to prevent "Hank" from escaping.
In this way, his ark was safe.
As for the soldiers inside and the exploration team in the mirror world...that was no longer within his scope of consideration.
Seeing his men welding the iron door shut with electric welding and sealing all the gaps, the old captain finally felt relieved.
Boom, boom, boom!
Suddenly, there was a knocking sound on the iron door, and someone shouted from inside: "Let us out!"
"Help! The monster can't be killed. He has killed many people. Please, Captain, let us out!"
…
Hearing the screams and wailings of the soldiers inside, the old captain was indifferent and ordered his men to move faster!
Gradually, the movement inside stopped, and "Hank"'s voice came out faintly: "Captain, do you think it is safe outside the warehouse?"
The old captain snorted and said, "I have severed the connection between the Mirror World and the Ark. You can stay here forever!"
Turning around, the old captain was about to leave. He had to hold an important meeting with his cronies to study how to deal with the current situation.
"We can't go to the Mirror World, and there's not enough food. Stricter control measures must be taken!"
"Starting tomorrow, everyone's food will be halved!"
"Especially in Areas D and E, the food supply for residents here has been directly reduced by 80%!"
"Although many people will die,... this is a necessary sacrifice!"
Just as he was thinking about it, the old captain suddenly heard intensive gunshots and explosions coming from the cabin. His heart suddenly sank and he immediately rushed out with his people.
He saw that the outside had become a mess, with people running away in panic everywhere. Further away, several forces were exchanging fire, and fire and explosions were reflected in his eyes.
"So what happened?"
The old captain was trembling all over. He grabbed a fleeing soldier and shouted sharply. The soldier replied in panic: "Captain, there is a rebellion! They have seized the arsenal and are exchanging fire with the army..."
"Who is the rebel? Tell me quickly!"
The soldier said a few names, and the old captain looked shocked. He let go of his hand, and the soldier ran away immediately.
"The Fallen Angels, the Three Alliance, the Tiger Gang...and the Equality Cult...you ungrateful bastards!"
He looked up to the sky and roared: "Have you forgotten who saved you from the ocean? Damn it, you should all drown!"
A burst of bullets came, and the old captain crouched down to avoid it. He was so angry that he was shaking all over, but there was nothing he could do.
The situation is out of control and the army has been dispersed. Even if he steps forward to take charge of the overall situation now, it cannot be restored.
Maybe, he might even get involved in it!
After careful consideration, he made a difficult decision.
Abandon ship!
"When I was designing the Ark, I thought that such a day would come!"
"So I designed the escape boat and the Ark's self-destruct mechanism!"
The old captain gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing fiercely.
"Human nature is evil. They are like a bunch of unfamiliar white-eyed wolves who never know how to be grateful!"
"Since you want to take away my ark, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
The old captain immediately led the escort team to the cabin where the lifeboat was located, and at the same time, he activated the self-destruct device.
"Warning! The self-destruct device will activate in 10 minutes!"
"Warning! The self-destruct device will activate in 10 minutes!"
"Warning! The self-destruct device will activate in 10 minutes!"
…
The people on the Ark were stunned when they heard the siren coming from the radio above their heads.
Some people looked frightened and ran for their lives in a hurry, even jumping from the ark into the sea.
Some people were dismissive and thought it was a conspiracy by the old captain to make them afraid and put down their weapons.
Brother Hu and Sister Yang were leading their men to attack Area A. They were startled when they heard the siren.
"Brother Tiger, is this true?" Sister Yang's face turned pale, with fear on her face: "Ark, is it really going to self-destruct?"
Brother Hu looked confused, he shook his head and said: "I don't know either, don't worry about it for now, let's win area A!"
On the other side, Mu Chengxiu was holding Martha in his hands as he walked along the corridor strewn with corpses. They also heard the alarm above their heads.
"The old guy actually designed a self-destruct device?"
Martha was a little surprised, but she didn't care: "Even if the Ark destroys itself, I won't die!"
But Mu Chengxiu looked nervous, because he didn't want to die yet, and his dream had not been realized yet. He wanted to become the spiritual mentor of all mankind and control the destiny of everyone. He couldn't die!
"God, what should I and other humans do? The Ark is destroyed and we won't survive!"
Mu Chengxiu held Martha in front of his eyes and asked anxiously: "Please use your divine power to save mankind!"
Martha covered her lips and laughed, with a look of disdain on her face: "Stupid human! Do you really think I am a god? Hahaha! I am just the person in the mirror. How can the monster in your eyes have any divine power?"
"You humans have made too many mistakes, which is why natural disasters occur. You are responsible for your own demise, and we are here to replace you!"
"After you are completely destroyed, this land will belong to us. Don't worry, we will not make the same mistakes as you. We will definitely cherish this world, hahaha!"
Hearing Martha's words, Mu Chengxiu was stunned, and he felt that his faith collapsed instantly.
"What have I done? I actually ruined the future of mankind with my own hands!"
Mu Chengxiu was trembling all over. He suddenly grabbed Martha tightly and tried hard with his hands, trying to strangle her to death.
"Devil! Everything is your fault! Go to hell!"
Martha was still smiling. She suddenly bit Mu Chengxiu's finger, and then tore off a piece of flesh!
Mu Chengxiu screamed and let go of his hand. Martha fell to the ground and quickly ran away without a trace.
