Chapter 277: Interment
The five elite killers from the United Fleet’s rulers class were eager to take action. Soon, they located Waldo’s position. They decisively abandoned their own yacht and plunged into the water, moving stealthily beneath the surface.
At level sixty, they could stay submerged for ten minutes without needing to surface for air. This was the safest and easiest way to approach Waldo, and it allowed them to remain undetected.
As expected, they quickly closed in on Waldo’s yacht. More importantly, it seemed that Waldo had not noticed their approach. He was still on his yacht, leisurely sipping his drink and appearing quite relaxed.
"Heh, still enjoying yourself here? Little do you know, your time is up!" thought the rulers class killers from the United Fleet.
One of them, from the Power Ship, said, "Everyone, don’t rush. I’ll count to three, and then we all attack together. Understood?"
"Understood!"
"Understood!"
"Alright, here we go!"
"Three! Two! One!"
"Attack!"
With a resounding shout, five water columns erupted from the surface of the sea.
Five formidable figures, exuding a strong killing intent, emerged from the water, all converging on Waldo as if they intended to take him down in one fell swoop.
"Waldo, you’re finished!"
"Die!"
"Die!"
The rulers class killers from the United Fleet shouted fiercely, their faces filled with determination and murderous intent.
Instantly, Waldo’s face turned pale. He seemed taken aback by the sudden appearance of the five attackers. He quickly dodged the bullets that were fired at him.
He had to deal with the close-quarters combat against the rulers.
With great effort, he managed to create some distance between himself and the five attackers. However, by this time, he was already seriously injured.
"Cough, cough!"
Waldo couldn’t help but cough a few times, and he actually coughed up blood. There were two bullet holes on his body, evidence of the shots that had hit him earlier. At this moment, he was wounded.
Under the encirclement of the five individuals, there was absolutely no possibility of escape for Waldo.
"Who are you people? Why are you trying to kill me? Why! I don’t know you, we have no grudges or disputes, why are you killing me?" Waldo’s eyes turned bloodshot, and a hint of despair and madness appeared on his face.
"Why? Why are you killing me! I am the controller of the Dawn Ship. If you dare to kill me, my battleship will turn you into fragments!" Waldo shouted frantically.
However, his threats, his roars, were like the futile rage of a desperate, rabid dog in the eyes of the five rulers. They were utterly useless.
"No use at all!" scoffed the ruler from the King Ship. "So, you’re Waldo? The one who’s called the strongest survivor? Hahaha, in my eyes, you’re nothing special."
"The strongest survivor, what a laughable title! In front of the five of us, even the so-called strongest survivor will die!"
"I thought you were formidable, but it seems you can’t even handle me at full power. You’ve disappointed me!"
"Do you want to know why we’re killing you? Hahaha, go ask in hell!"
The five rulers laughed mockingly.
At this moment, they felt great satisfaction in their hearts. Mainly because Waldo was the controller of an Ark, and he was known for his individual strength as the strongest survivor. But so what?
They enjoyed hunting down high-ranking individuals and strong opponents. It brought them great satisfaction mentally.
Afterward, they closed in on Waldo, intending to kill him completely.
Fear and panic filled Waldo’s face. He lowered his stance and said, "I can give you anything you want if you spare my life. How about that?!"
The five individuals were amused, but they resolutely shook their heads, rejecting his offer.
They had come to kill Waldo, and trying to bribe them was simply unrealistic.
The survivor from the King Ship grinned and said, "I love the look of you, a coward! But, it’s a pity; you’re still going to die!"
Then, the five of them attacked together.
Waldo, who was already seriously injured, couldn’t put up any resistance at all.
"Ah!"
With a miserable scream, Waldo died on the spot!
Seeing Waldo breathe his last, the five members of the United Fleet breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, they were filled with mixed emotions.
The ruler from the King Ship sneered, "It’s really ridiculous. The renowned controller of the Dawn Ship, the strongest survivor, turned out to be a weakling!"
"Hahaha, it’s so funny! Waldo was just a paper tiger!"
"Hehe, I heard he had two beautiful women with him. Now that he’s dead, maybe we can have some fun with them. It’ll be a blast!"
Hahaha!
The five of them laughed uproariously.
Afterward, they contacted the overall commander of the United Fleet and informed him that their mission was perfectly accomplished.
The ruler from the Power Ship chuckled and said, "The mission is complete. Shouldn’t we head back now?"
The others nodded in agreement.
However, at that moment, the ruler from the King Ship suddenly looked in one direction, his face turning unusually grim.
"What’s wrong with you?" the others noticed the anomaly and immediately followed his gaze.
When they looked, the smiles on their faces froze.
In the distance, suspended in mid-air, there was a figure.
This figure was very familiar to them.
It was Waldo!
But... wasn’t he supposed to be dead?!
The five members of the United Fleet were left dumbfounded, unable to process the situation.
In the next moment, a strong sense of crisis engulfed their entire being.
Before they could react, Waldo in the sky revealed a rather eerie smile.
Instantly, they felt their hair stand on end.
And then...
Boom!
A massive explosion gave rise to a small mushroom cloud!
In the deafening explosion, a large amount of seawater evaporated, and the yacht melted instantaneously.
Accompanied by the abrupt cessation of their horrified screams!
The five individuals vaporized in an instant!
Leaving no trace of their remains!
