Lu Ye's sense of unease intensified; if the starship pursuing them was like a reaper bent on claiming his life, then the Lightning Pool ahead was like a tiger's den!
Things were indeed not as simple as they seemed. Zhou Yuchuan's squad evidently intended to eliminate both him and the starship.
When they discussed forming an alliance earlier, Lu Ye had already anticipated this possibility.
He wasn't foolish; he naturally understood that if they adhered to the plan, he, as the bait leading the starship, would be in the most perilous position.
If he were familiar with Zhou Yuchuan and the others, they might have made arrangements to ensure his safety.
But he didn't know them at all; this was merely a temporary collaboration with the goal of taking down the starship, so why would Zhou Yuchuan and the others care about his life or death?
