American Comics: BOSS Invasion

That morning, Qi Shan drove Ellie and the three cats straight to the pier.

The Argo, a luxury cruise ship, was scheduled to set sail at 9:00 AM today.

This ship would follow a route around the world and return to America in a few months.

Qi Shan had blown up the entire house, yet Ellie hadn't died.

The massive shockwave had thrown her into the sky, sending her flying over a hundred meters before she crashed into the artificial lake.

Qi Shan had already left, but after hesitating, he turned back and rescued her.

Her injuries were insignificant, merely extensive burns, multiple comminuted fractures throughout her body, and partial organ failure.

A few drops of the Water of Life were administered, and it was like rewinding time, directly restoring her.

Her body was fine, but she suffered severe mental trauma.

Qi Shan didn't want to bother, but the girl really met his aesthetic standards, so after a slight hesitation, he used his special healing methods.

After several nights of hard work, repeatedly dealing damage to reach the burst value, Ellie finally dared not hesitate and slowly recovered.

She was a very intelligent girl, and after seeing Qi Shan's attitude towards her and reading the report on the town's destruction, she finally understood something.

She had been following Qi Shan these days, obedient and honest, allowing herself to be manipulated without daring to resist, but she was somewhat mentally aggrieved.

The appearance of the three kittens gave her some solace.

Ellie even named the kittens Atropos, Clotho, and Lachesis.

These were the names of the three Fates in Greek mythology, seemingly a tribute to her own escape from death.

Qi Shan didn't care; she could call them whatever she wanted; the T-1000 liquid metal robot wouldn't mind.

After parking the car in the pier's parking lot, the two of them, along with the three kittens, followed the staff who were already waiting there directly onto the luxury cruise ship.

The cruise ship was indeed large, with seven levels and various entertainment facilities, including a mobile casino, shopping street, food street, and even a central garden.

It was like moving an entire city onto a cruise ship.

Ellie felt her eyes widen; she had only seen similar scenes on TV, but experiencing it firsthand was a completely different sensation.

Qi Shan's expression was calm; what was a small yacht?

He even had an interstellar mothership, its overall area comparable to the Eurasian plate; did he say anything?

The staff arranged for the two of them to stay in a luxurious suite and then left.

Ellie tidied up her belongings a little and then couldn't contain her excitement, pulling Qi Shan out to explore the cruise ship.

Qi Shan didn't object, wandering around with Ellie, buying anything good and eating anything novel, without considering the cost.

This exhilarating feeling made Ellie's nerve endings tingle with excitement, and she ran around like a cheerful deer in a snow-white dress.

They didn't even notice when the cruise ship left the harbor.

In the afternoon, Qi Shan returned to the room to read, and he also asked the staff for a map of the cruise ship to get a general understanding of the location of each area.

Ellie couldn't restrain herself, said hello to Qi Shan, and ran off to the spa for a beauty treatment.

Taking advantage of being alone, Qi Shan took out the quantum wristband from his body space and directly opened the light screen to review Deep Rising again.

In fact, the story line of this movie is very simple; if there were no giant octopus attacks, it would be an ordinary action movie.

The male protagonist is a fisherman who runs a black boat, specializing in transportation work.

For example, transporting mercenary killers, stowaways, or shady weapons deals; the male protagonist did whatever made money.

He seemed like a good person on the surface, but he had no moral bottom line, the kind of person who would sell his soul for money.

One day, he received a big job with a considerable sum of money, requiring him to transport a group of mercenaries to the cruise ship.

Originally, the whole thing had nothing to do with him; he would just drop them off, turn around, and leave, spending the money lavishly.

Unfortunately, his sailing skills were poor; in the vast open sea, he managed to create a lifeboat and directly pierced the bottom of the ship.

So he had no choice but to go on board with the mercenaries; he needed to find some spare parts to repair the ship.

In fact, the mercenaries were hired by the owner of the cruise ship, who had gone bankrupt from building the luxury cruise ship, and the bank was going to take his cruise ship.

He had no choice but to take a risk, first taking out huge insurance on his cruise ship, and then hiring a group of people to pretend to be pirates and blow up the luxury cruise ship.

In this guy's logic, the more people who died and the bigger the incident, the faster the compensation would arrive.

At that time, he would just use the new funds to build another cruise ship.

His plan was perfect, but he didn't expect to encounter a giant octopus in the open sea.

The giant octopus was elusive, specializing in eating floating objects that had many people and could glow; who told you to build such a big ship, install so many things, not sleep at night, play music, turn on the lights, and dance noisily.

This thing floating on the sea was definitely a sonar generator, constantly telling others its location.

The giant octopus saw that the food had been delivered to its door, so how could it be polite; of course, it came up to dine.

It quickly ate the entire ship of people.

After a hearty meal, the giant octopus was very satisfied with the quality of human flesh, so it wanted to clean the lunch box more thoroughly.

It relentlessly wanted to eat the mercenaries and the male and female protagonists who came on board later.

Things went too far, and the male and female protagonists finally got together, triggering the true protagonist halo.

The two suddenly occupied the high ground of IQ, using the torpedoes prepared by the mercenaries to blow up the cruise ship, along with the remaining mercenaries and the giant octopus.

After reviewing the entire story line, Qi Shan was silent for a long time.

He especially wanted to ask now, what did the whole thing have to do with the male and female protagonists?

The male protagonist was running a black boat, and the female protagonist was simply a thief; all the elite people on the ship were killed, leaving only two half-black, half-white people; what was the director trying to express?

Fate is stronger than supernatural power?

Unable to figure it out, Qi Shan didn't bother to think about it, put away the light screen, slightly tidied up his appearance, and pushed the door open and walked out.

He decided to find the legendary beautiful thief before the male protagonist boarded the ship.

Maybe he could have some common topics with her and further develop a relationship.

To be honest, Qi Shan had longed for the magical creature of the beautiful thief for a long time; it was not easy to encounter one, so he couldn't give up!
