Ch68 – The True Identity of the Water Monsters
In fact, about the water monster, when they landed on the 19th planet, Wang Kun seemed to have mentioned it on their way to the villa. However at that time, they were more worried about Ruan Yu’s situation, so they didn’t pay much attention to this. There also didn’t ask too much about the situation. Now, it seemed that these monsters were not so simple…
He Yun Chen tried contacting Wang Kun, but no one answered. Maybe there was a situation on their end. So he sent a message to both Wang Kun and Zhang Peng, informing them that they were in the hospital and that couldn’t leave because of the rain. He told both of them to be careful. He wasn’t actually worried about their safety. These two were battlefield veterans. They also knew of the existence of the monsters in advance. Naturally, if they had taken precautions, they wouldn’t easily be injured.
After the messages were sent, He Yun Chen first went to pay for the emergency treatment. He then supported Ruan Tang to go up to Ruan Yu’s ward. Although his wound had been treated thoroughly, it had still let out a lot of blood. He had also been thoroughly soaked and on top of that, his body was still recovering. Therefore, it was necessary for Ruan Tang to rest well.
He Yun Chen said, “Your clothes are wet. You better take a hot shower in the bathroom and take off your wet clothes. After, you should lie down with Xiao Yu and rest.” He looked at Ruan Tang and called out softly, “A’Tang.”
This form of address was not particularly intimate; it merely expressed closeness. But seeing He Yun Chen’s embarrassed appearance, Ruan Tang also couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. Why was it that when He Yun Chen called his name, it sounded like he was calling him “husband” or “darling”…
The hospital naturally has a bathroom. They wanted the best ward for Ruan Yu and thus there was a private bathroom attached to the room. Taking a shower was no problem. Although the hospital didn’t have a change of clothes, there were many clean towels. Being a man, he could tie the towel around his waist to cover the key parts and he could go out of the bathroom. Although the Ruan Yu’s bed was a single bed, he was so small that he didn’t take up even half the bed. It was no problem for the both of them to crowd into the same bed.
Ruan Yu was naturally very willing to sleep with his brother in the same bed. In his memory, when he was a child, he was always held in his brother’s arms when he slept. So his eyes suddenly lit up.
Ruan Tang didn’t refuse. He went to the bathroom and took a shower. The hospital towels weren’t big. When he tried to wrap it around his waist, there was only a small overlap of half a finger’s width. He could only find a small clip to fasten it close. But even then, as soon as he walked, the towel would reveal a small enchanting crack. Whether he placed the seam in front or behind, it couldn’t censor everything. He could only put it on the side and with a red face he held his wet clothes and opened the door to return to the ward.
When Ruan Tang entered the room, although He Yun Chen maintained a calm and composed expression, his ears were turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye. There was simply no way to conceal it. Ruan Tang’s body was slim and well proportioned. His waist was particularly slender, and his skin looked smooth and especially fair. It would definitely feel wonderful to the touch.
The towel could only cover his thighs. His exposed legs were slim, long and very straight. According to the talk on the star network, these legs could play for a lifetime. When he walked, the towel that overlapped on the side would from time to time reveal a strip of white, tender hip.
This was the first time for Ruan Tang to be dressed like this in front of other people. His cheeks were red and he walked quickly to the bed. He Yun Chen couldn’t control himself as he stared at Ruan Tang’s exposed waist. When Ruan Tang passed by him, He Yun Chen saw two small dimples on his lower back, to either side of his spine. It was cute and sexy. He couldn’t help but poke at it and when he did, Ruan Tang immediately jumped in shock.
“…” He Yun Chen still had his hand stretched out. He didn’t know how to explain it.
Fortunately, Ruan Yu had good timing, breaking the silence between the two, “Brother He, your nose is bleeding!”
He Yun Chen, Ruan Tang: “……………”
The downpour outside was unceasing, and the straight and upright tree in the courtyard was forced to bend down. Ruan Tang noticed that the atmosphere in the room seemed to be less and less “righteous.” He forced himself to be calm and composed as he opened his brother’s quilt and went in. He then coughed lightly and calmly said: “Chen Ge, would you like to wash up?”
He Yun Chen nodded vigorously again and again. He stopped he blood from dripping down his chin and turned around. All calm and cool, he grunted, “En”.
When He Yun Chen entered the bathroom, Ruan Tang gave a sigh of relief. Ruan Yu then turned to him and asked, “Brother, why did Brother He have a nosebleed?”
“…” Looking at his brother’s pure eyes, Ruan Tang, who himself didn’t understand why, could only say, “Because the weather’s really dry. Your Brother He had an excess of internal heat.” Ruan Yu looked at the downpour through the window and nodded like a well-behaved child.
In order to avoid the awkward situation that might arise when He Yun Chen came out of the bathroom, Ruan Tang also closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. The two brothers clung to each other, and soon they both fell asleep.
He Yun Chen rushed through a cold shower and calmed down a bit. When he heard the sound of breathing gradually quieten outside, he went out with a towel around his waist. He asked the medical staff, found the dryer, and dried his and Ruan Tang’s clothes.
He put on the dried clothes and went to the hallway to check on the situation outside. The rain had become more and more intense. More and more injured people were being sent to the hospital for treatment. All the staff in the hospital were busy, and the hall downstairs was full of people.
Standing on the high ground, allowed him to clearly see the rising water level. Although the pumping equipment was fully operational, there was still a steady accumulation of water in the enclosure from the unrelenting rain.
This kind of weather condition must be out of the ordinary. Otherwise, the local government would have prepared measures to prevent flooding, instead of being passive, such as in the current situation. He landed on the Star Network and sure enough, he saw a new announcement. A planet near the 19th star was hit by a meteorite. This influenced the 19th planet, resulting in this sudden storm. At present, the government of the 19th planet had sent troops to rescue the trapped people.
At this time, He Yun Chen’s communicator rang, and once he saw that the number was Wang Kun’s, he immediately accepted.
When he heard the noise from the other end, he frowned slightly and asked, “Uncle Kun, where are you?”
“Reporting to the Marshal, we are at the rented villa. This area has been flooded. A lot of water monsters have appeared. Zhang Peng and I had no weapons to fight and could barely cope, but the garrison on the 19th planet has come and has started their search and rescue. We have a lot of injured people here. After a while, we should be transferred to the nearest hospital. I don’t know if we will be heading to where you are.”
“No matter, we are perfectly safe here. Just take care of yourselves.” Although he knew that nothing would happen to them, after he received confirmation, He Yun Chen was relieved.
“Understood!”
Three hours later, the rainstorm still hadn’t stopped. The tide also slowly rose up the mountain. The water level rose higher and higher, and higher and higher. The water level quickly crossed over the less than half a meter tall wall and flowed into the hospital hall. The water monster hidden in the water came in like a black tide. Whenever they came into contact with people, the water would bloom red.
Many people were attacked at the same time, and the hall suddenly became a mess. The screams came one after another.
He Yun Chen closed the door to Ruan Yu’s ward and quickly ran downstairs. Although he was now on vacation, he was still a soldier and protecting the people was his duty!
He took out a light-blade dagger from his boots. This was the weapon he customarily carried around, and now it could be put to good use.
“Everyone, go upstairs! Don’t stay on the ground floor! Close the door and don’t let the water monsters in!” He Yun Chen shouted.
After hearing He Yun Chen’s voice, the flustered people obeyed subconsciously. The wounded people supported each other and rushed to the second floor. The medical staff, heedless of the danger, headed towards the open doors and windows.
“Hiss…” A female nurse who went to close the door suddenly let out a hiss of pain. Blood started to flow into the water in a stream.
The turbid waters started to churn in a flurry as countless black shadows, seemingly stimulated by this bloody smell, rushed towards the nurse.
The nurse endured and was able to lock the door. At this time, the black shadow hidden under the water had her completely blocked off. She was so scared that her face turned white and her knees went weak. She could barely keep upright.
However, she suddenly saw a table come flying over from nowhere! It landed right in front of the nurse, creating a big splash. It also forced the black shadows approaching the female nurse to retreat.
“Get on the table! Quick!” He Yun Chen shouted again.
The female nurse did not dare to delay, enduring the tearing pain from the wound on her ankle, she tried to climb onto the table. When she lifted her injured leg, a black shadow, unexpectedly, broke through the water and came after her.
The black shadow was almost half a meter long, with an oblate body. Its entire body was protected by a deep red hard shell. It had eight slender appendages and the most terrifying thing was that it had a pair of strong and sharp claws. Evidently, the ring shaped wound on Ruan Tang’s ankle was made by this claw.
Just as the water monster lifted its claw, aiming to grab the nurse’s leg, an ice-cold light shone on it’s hard protective shell.
Without waiting for the female nurse to scream, He Yun Chen rushed to the table with lightning speed. He brandished his light blade dagger and sent the water monster flying. He also left a deep scratch on the monster’s shell.
He Yun Chen slightly narrowed his eyes. The protective shell of this water monster was harder than he thought. His dagger of light was actually a compressed energy beam, saying that it could cut through iron as though it were mud was not an exaggeration. However, it only left a scratch on this water monster’s shell.
These water monsters had tough outer shells and there were so many of them. The 19th star citizens were generally ordinary people with poor physiques. There was also not enough advanced weapons. No wonder they were so helpless in the face of this disaster.
This monster was more difficult to deal with than he initially thought and it may take a little bit of effort to deal with them. But for him who was a veteran of a hundred battles, this was no great difficulty.
But before he could strike again, the monster hid beneath the water, so that he could not find any trace of it. He Yun Chen had to set this matter aside for the time being. He carried the injured nurse on his back, and rushed towards the stairs. He Yun Chen’s physical fitness was of the rare SS-class, which meant that his strength, speed, reaction time and explosive power were much, much stronger than the average person’s. Even carrying a person on his back, was like walking on flat ground. In a flash, he had already reached the stairs, so that the black shadows lurking in the water couldn’t even touch him.
“Thank you, thank you…” Although the female nurse stood on firm ground again, she was still badly shaken.
“You’re welcome, you have to deal with the wound first.” After He Yun Chen put her down, he turned back and went downstairs.
Except for a few people who were injured by the water monsters, everyone had been safely evacuated to the upper floor. With more people, naturally, the entire floor turned noisy. Ruan Tang who was on the third floor ward was woken by the noise.
Ruan Tang instinctively searched for a tall figure in the room. When he didn’t spot the other party, his eyes fell to the bedside. When he saw his dried clothes on the stool, the corner of his mouth subconsciously ticked up in a smile.
Children were comparatively deep sleepers, add to that the fact that he was beside his favorite brother, Ruan Yu was still asleep. He gently got down from the bed, put on his dried clothes and quietly opened the door of the room, ready to go out to see the current situation.
The hallway was full of people. Except for the patients who were originally in the hospital, most of them were the wounded who had just been sent over and their family members. The expressions on their faces were very tense and they continually exchanged worried looks.
“Who knows how many water monsters there are downstairs. Can he manage by himself?”
“Can he? He has to. If he can’t stop them, what can we do…”
Ruan Tang’s heart jumped. He looked around the hallway, and then approached the nearest person. “Is the person below wearing black clothes, with very short hair and very tall?”
“Oh, yes…”
Sure enough, He Yun Chen went downstairs!
Ruan Tang wanted to run downstairs but he was pulled back by Dr. Tang next to him, “Don’t be impulsive! You won’t be able to help him!” Ruan Tang clenched his fist, “But…”
He also knew rationally, that it was best not to go there right now, lest he cause trouble for He Yun Chen. But he really can’t help it. He couldn’t allow He Yun Chen to be a lone army putting up a brave front downstairs! So although he couldn’t help, he wanted to see what the situation was.
He sighed heavily and had no choice but to stay here and pray for He Yun Chen.
Ruan Tang didn’t know how long it took. Along with a loud clap of thunder, there was the sound of footsteps approaching from downstairs. Ruan Tang immediately sprang up and ran downstairs. Just as he rounded the corner, he collided head on against He Yun Chen.
“A’Tang? Are you okay?” The low voice rang in his ear, and his warm breath tickled his neck, causing Ruan Tang to involuntarily draw back his neck.
“No, nothing…” With a face flushed red, he stepped back from He Yun Chen’s chest. It was like he could still feel how it was like to have his cheeks pressed against the other’s chest.
He found that He Yun Chen had both arms lifted up. When he turned his head up and looked at it, he saw a shadow on He Yun Chen’s head and couldn’t help but jump back before he fixed his eyes on it.
The water monster that He Yun Chen had captured was still very spirited. Even though it was already caught, it was still struggling desperately. Its two claws were clacking noisily.
Flat body, with a hard shell, eight legs, two claws…
Ruan Tang was silent for a moment, looking at this “water monster”. He had on a complicated and speechless expression.
This… Isn’t this a king crab?
