"Where?" Ma Yihan immediately tensed up.
"Right outside, it seems they're about to come in."
The two girls quickly got up, preparing to hide in the room upstairs. Ma Yihan searched around for something to defend themselves with and finally grabbed an iron bucket and a long-handled grabber used for picking up trash from the hotel cart. In a rush, she dashed upstairs.
A team of Internal Troops appeared in the lobby, not noticing the two girls' presence. The leader lowered his gun and carefully examined the ceramic floor, activating the scanning function on his visor. A trail of white footprints appeared in his view, leading into the stairwell. He immediately signaled his subordinates to follow him as they headed toward the stairs.
Outside the central battlefield, Light Shuttle was darting through various war zones around the globe, clearing out some minor enemies for humanity. Wherever she went, each enemy was torn apart by her powerful charge in an instant; an entire street of foes was wiped out in moments. However, her high-speed movement at three percent of light speed had drained a lot of her energy. After two hours of battle, she leaned against a wall, gasping for breath. "Wow, this job really wore me out."
Indeed, as she complained, other superheroes were only fighting on the central battlefield. Even Fierce Eagle had just rushed from the Pacific defense line to join the central battlefield; only she was running around globally.
"Fei'er, where are you?"
In her earpiece, Miao Chengmin's voice came through on the squad frequency. Light Shuttle could barely catch her breath and weakly raised her hand to press on her earpiece. "I'm not at the central battlefield; don't look for me. I... I have a lot going on."
"But I really need you for something that only you can handle." At that moment, Zombie King was flying toward outer space, with the human White Emperor fleet behind him. He had received orders from Fierce Eagle to lead the White Emperor fleet into outer space to eliminate the internal Human fleet at its source.
"Just now, An Xiaotian confirmed with the safe house in the district that neither Ming Juan nor Ma Yihan checked in; they're still outside. Please make sure to find them. Ming Juan is my lover, and Ma Yihan is Liu Xuan's lover. I shared real-time coordinates with Ming Juan; she is confirmed to be in Block 01, and we are very worried about their safety."
"Ugh..." Light Shuttle's body ignited with golden light again. Though she complained reluctantly, she still took action. "Send me the coordinates; I'll go look for them... Coming to Earth is just cleaning up after you guys."
With that said, Light Shuttle transformed into a four-dimensional form and shot skyward like a beam of light toward the distant central battlefield.
Block 01
Ma Yihan and Ming Juan didn't know where to stop; they were frantically running upstairs without any intention of pausing. Ming Juan looked down with her Soul-Gazing Eye on her forehead and saw that four mercenaries were already coming up. "They're coming!" Ming Juan said to Ma Yihan with a trembling voice.
There was no way to go further up; they had reached the fifteenth floor of the hotel—the highest point. Gritting her teeth, Ma Yihan turned with Ming Juan into an internal corridor of the hotel. Rooms lined both sides, and just then one door was ajar; they quickly ran inside. "Into the bathroom," Ma Yihan instructed as they hid inside but found that this hotel's bathroom couldn't be locked.
"Damn it! What kind of lousy hotel is this!" Ma Yihan cursed loudly and kicked the door in frustration before reluctantly handing the long grabber to Ming Juan. "There's no choice; we have to fight to the death."
Ming Juan nodded, trembling hands gripping the long grabber as she stood guard at the door while Ma Yihan filled the iron bucket with water from the shower stall behind her. As she filled it, she said to Ming Juan, "If they really try to open the door later, I'll throw a bucket of water first; you hit them hard on their heads—we'll take at least one down with us!"
"I understand; I understand," Ming Juan replied as her whole body began to tremble. She held onto the long grabber like a samurai sword, ready to strike at any moment.
The bathroom was eerily quiet like a still forest; it was hard to tell how much time had passed without any movement outside. Ming Juan kept encouraging herself while puffing air into her cheeks nervously.
Finally! There were hurried footsteps outside, causing Ming Juan to step back in fright as Ma Yihan turned off the faucet and stood beside her holding the iron bucket. The two girls exchanged glances—
Get ready...
Someone entered the room; it sounded like there were keys jingling from one of the mercenaries' pockets as they approached with a clatter.
Soon...
A shadow appeared at the bathroom door, and the door swung open—
The leader of the four-person team pushed the door hard, only to be met with a splash of water. The gun that had been aimed perfectly suddenly veered off, firing two shots into the ceiling. Ming Juan immediately screamed and waved her long-handled clamp, closing her eyes in fear as she flailed it around in the cramped space, not caring whether she hit anything; as long as she could knock one out, it would be worth it!
However, things seemed easier than Ming Juan had imagined. She thought her clamp would hit something solid and stop mid-air, but the mercenary drenched in water screamed as if possessed, showing more fear than Ming Juan herself and retreating. Ming Juan swung her clamp horizontally, striking his face, and surprisingly, it knocked him down effortlessly!
Ming Juan opened her eyes in disbelief at her clamp, then looked up at the remaining three enemies in the bathroom. Their leader had already collapsed in a scream, and they seemed terrified of something, even forgetting to shoot.
Ma Yihan noticed they were all staring at the bucket of water in her hands and realized that the mercenary who had been splashed was now turning to sand, scattered on the floor.
How did he turn into a pile of sand? Could it be...
"They're afraid of water!" A bold idea popped into Ma Yihan's mind. She raised the bucket again, preparing to splash water on the three enemies. They immediately shrank back, and the last soldier even opened the bathroom door to escape. Ming Juan was quick-witted; she recognized the enemy's weakness from Ma Yihan's actions. She grabbed the showerhead from the shower stall and turned it on, spraying water at them. Instantly, the three soldiers screamed and rushed out through the bathroom door.
"They're really afraid of water," Ming Juan said as she put down the showerhead but still remained on guard. The three Longxing Mercenaries were still outside, likely ready to launch a strong attack at any moment. Ma Yihan refilled her bucket with water and said to Ming Juan, "Keep spraying; we need them to hear the sound of water. I suspect these alien soldiers might be Silicon-Based Lifeforms; when they encounter water, they turn into silicon dioxide—essentially sand."
Ma Yihan pointed at the Longxing Mercenaries' body lying in a puddle: "This is proof; so now water is our weapon."
"And then what? Are we just going to stay here in the bathroom?"
"Well... I’m afraid that’s all we can do."
"Okay, fine."
Ming Juan nodded bitterly; after all that had happened, her legs felt weak. If those three Longxing Mercenaries attacked again, they surely had a plan for dealing with two girls by now, and it would be too late then.
Suddenly, a flash of golden light swept past outside the bathroom door, followed by loud shouts from the Longxing Mercenaries. In just a few seconds' time, blood splattered against the bathroom door. Ming Juan stumbled back in fright while Ma Yihan shielded her behind herself; despite this, she struggled not to let fear overwhelm her.
"Ma Yihan? Ming Juan?"
Someone outside was calling their names. Ma Yihan bravely replied, "We're here."
"I'm Taokalanphiel, your ally among humans. Don't worry; come out! I'm here on a great mission from Miao Chengmin," Light Shuttle said sarcastically as he pushed open the bathroom door.
Seeing an ally among humans made Ming Juan sigh deeply; her legs gave way as she sat down on the floor. Ma Yihan leaned against the bathroom wall and exhaled: "Thank goodness someone is here to help us..."
Light Shuttle kicked one of the Longxing Mercenaries' bodies in the bathroom and smiled at the two terrified girls: "Well, I guess I arrived just in time, right?"
"Just in time! If no one else had come to save us, I might have lost my life here," Ma Yihan said with a pale face.
"Fortunately, Miao Chengmin provided me with your coordinates; otherwise finding you would have been like searching for a needle in a haystack," Light Shuttle remarked.
"Miao Chengmin? How is he?" Ming Juan stood up from the floor.
"The 'Southern Gate' plan has been initiated, and the Aerospace Carrier has taken to the skies," said Light Shuttle. "It is flying into outer space alongside a squadron of fighter jets, ready to intercept the enemy's invasion at its source. Don't worry, your boyfriend's combat power is not something ordinary Celestial Warriors can compare to; he will be fine."
"I hope so," Ming Juan said, clasping her hands together.
"By the way, sis," Ma Yihan pointed at the bodies on the ground. "These enemies are Silicon-Based Lifeforms, and their greatest weakness is water. Can you relay this information to the Celestial Warriors Alliance?"
"How can you be so sure?" Ming Juan asked.
"They turn to sand when they come into contact with water; what else could it be but silicon?" Ma Yihan confidently patted her chest. "I didn't study Chemical Engineering in college for nothing."
"I will pass on this message," Light Shuttle replied. "But before that, my priority is to ensure your safety; otherwise, your boyfriends will be worried sick. You two come here and hold on tight; I'm going to take you through dimensional travel."
The two girls stepped forward and hugged Light Shuttle tightly. In an instant, Light Shuttle transformed into a four-dimensional form, embracing them as a beam of golden light shot out of the building, heading straight for the Underground Safe House in the neighborhood.
