Chapter 869: Deep in the Pipeline
- Deep in the Pipeline
Natalie struggled continuously within the pipeline, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't stop death from closing in. The inner walls of the flesh-and-blood pipeline were covered in a smooth layer of Flesh Membrane. Natalie poured a large amount of spiritual energy into her Short Knife, yet she couldn't leave even a single scratch on its surface.
"I really can't help you. Although this might not be the best timing, I still have to tell you something very important, and that is, at truly critical moments, a person can only rely on themselves. For you, this is that moment right now. You can choose to give up and accept the cold, merciless reality. Or you can struggle until the very last moment, and maybe you can still do something."
Lin Ye would never rely on others at truly critical moments, because he had long come to terms with a simple truth: trusting others meant handing your own fate over to someone else's hands, which was the most ridiculous thing in this world.
After hearing Lin Ye's words, Natalie suddenly quieted down. She stopped wasting spiritual energy, reduced the range of her movements, and began conserving her strength.
The Chainsaw Tissue had already reached Natalie's front. She took off her heavy Spiritual Energy Armor and held it in her hands like a shield.
Death was approaching, and fear made her body tremble all over. Then she suddenly thought of her experiences over this period of time. Uncontrollable anger and fear mixed together, and her body suddenly grew calm.
"Don't forcefully block those saw blades. Even high-grade materials can't withstand the cutting of the blades. You're different from those corpses. You can change the angle of impact. Ninety degrees won't work. The blades are too smooth, there's hardly any friction. You need to adjust the angle yourself... use your body to feel it."
Lin Ye's voice was very calm, and that calmness infected Natalie. She stuffed Lin Ye into her clothes, held the armor in one hand, and grabbed a corpse with the other.
