Ch 112: The Elusive Special Ability
Ji Chuan didn’t stop Shen Mengting’s massacre, “You protect Xia Yida.”
Then Ji Chuan disappeared from his original spot.
Although Shen Mengting didn’t want to protect anyone and only wanted to enjoy the pleasure of killing, she could only obey Ji Chuan’s orders.
Protection wasn’t very troublesome; she just needed to kill the group of wastes in Jianghua City immediately, killing as many as came out.
Shen Mengting found that the feeling of killing humans was more fulfilling than killing zombies.
Zombies were just a pile of unintelligent decaying flesh, while humans had complex emotions, and their expressions before death were wonderful.
As a strong person, she felt extremely excited to be able to crush the weak.
I really wish more people would come out.
The base’s alarm sounded, and a large number of the base’s combat forces were gathering on the ground.
He Lei was somewhat flustered in the room. He had just begun to adapt to this new identity when he encountered this situation.
“Report, Captain, Shen Mengting and No. 1 have attacked! Shen Mengting is outside the base, and reinforcements have been sent. No. 1 has currently disappeared; his whereabouts are unknown.”
“What?! No. 1 is back?!”
He Lei couldn’t believe his ears. He was the one who personally sent No. 1 away, and it hasn’t been long! How did he return?!
He had just become the leader of Jianghua City, and now he had to deal with such a thorny matter?
“Quickly assemble all combat team members! Full defense! Don’t let them break through the base!”
“Yes.”
He Lei paced back and forth in the room in a fluster. What was Li Jingru, that old fellow’s Special Ability… He seemed to have never heard of his Special Ability.
He felt this body and furrowed his brows.
“Ant Queen? What kind of Special Ability is this…”
Would this change the current situation?
…
“More people come, you wastes, hahaha!”
Shen Mengting was slaughtering outside the base. As soon as anyone stepped outside, they would immediately become a corpse in front of the gate.
Watching the monitoring screen, the death states of the members outside the base were different; no one knew what Shen Mengting’s Special Ability was or how she did it.
Now, even going outside required great courage. Several Combat Team Captains who had reached the first floor were at a loss.
They did not dare to attack rashly; this Shen Mengting was said to be a top-tier combat force in Jinglian City.
Jianghua City only had 12 Special Grade Ability Users: Li Jingru, Jiang Zhilan, Song Huai, and He Lei. Their Special Abilities didn’t seem to be for combat, and 4 Captains had already died.
Only the last four remained, including Xu Huaizhi.
With the combat-type Special Grade Ability Users dead, Jianghua City Esper Base would likely be destroyed today.
“Close the gate, don’t attack! Think of a way first!”
Xu Huaizhi didn’t want to make meaningless sacrifices. Although he had clashed with Shen Mengting during a previous meeting, he had discovered then that Shen Mengting’s Imposing Aura was much stronger than his own.
He was simply no match for her.
Now Xu Huaizhi regretted not listening to Su Wanwan and going to another city with her. He didn’t expect Wanwan to have such foresight.
But now it was too late.
While he was considering his next course of action, the gate opened.
More accurately, the gate turned into sand and fell to the ground.
Shen Mengting was smiling pleasantly at the few people in the lobby, as if she saw her playthings.
“The wastes of Jianghua City, I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time. It’s all because of you wastes that I lost my freedom!”
Her expression became very angry, as if she remembered something and hastily changed her words, indulgingly stroking her face with one hand.
“But it is also because of you that I could meet my Master. Serving my Master is my honor. I have to thank you. The best way to thank you is to let you die painfully.”
Her tone changed from cheerful to harsh. Shen Mengting coldly stared at the people in the lobby, various emotions filling her heart, and her Imposing Aura swept over them.
Her hair gradually defied gravity and stood up in the air. The immense energy had already changed the airflow around her; this was a very dangerous sign.
Before the other Captains could react, He Jian launched the first attack. Dense poisonous insects flew towards Shen Mengting. An ordinary girl would certainly be frightened speechless by such a scene.
Xu Huaizhi didn’t dare delay; a small mountain appeared above Shen Mengting’s head and smashed down directly.
However, Shen Mengting didn’t react to these moves at all. The poisonous insects disappeared as if they turned into air when they were about to get close, and the mountain above her head disintegrated in an instant.
“How is this possible…”
Xu Huaizhi couldn’t believe what he saw. The previous team members had died in various forms; Shen Mengting was definitely an attack-type Ability User.
Yet, her attacks on them were inexplicably neutralized. This was even better than many defensive-type Special Grade Abilities. Although he had seen similar Composite Abilities like Ning Chuhe’s, he had never seen such an extreme offensive and defensive Ability.
“You like insects so much, then you’ll be an insect.”
Shen Mengting’s lips curled into a smile. He Jian felt a chill; what did she mean by that?
“Ah!…”
A sharp pain came from his back. A pair of brown wings appeared beside He Jian’s shoulder blades.
He felt his fingers stiffen and, looking down, he found that his hands were rapidly turning into insect limbs.
“Save…”
Before he could finish speaking, He Jian’s mouthparts produced two huge mandibles.
Two slender antennae extended from his head.
In just a few seconds, his skin burst open and became smooth and hard. Under everyone’s gaze, he became a giant cockroach.
He Jian’s transformation directly scared Feng Xue, who was already sitting on the ground. She was afraid of insects, and she had never seen such a large cockroach.
Fear, disgust; she would rather die immediately than become like that.
Xu Huaizhi froze in place. Shen Mengting’s Special Ability was like magic; she seemed able to do anything she wanted.
He Jian struggled painfully on the ground. He tried to adapt to the multi-legged way of moving and charged towards Shen Mengting, full of hatred; but after an explosion, his body turned into many fragments.
He looked at his dismembered body but could still maintain consciousness. This was thanks to the insect’s vitality.
Feng Xue cried, turned her back to Shen Mengting, and ran towards the base. She was the tail-end Captain of the Combat Team and didn’t like fighting at all, but she was detected to have a Special Ability.
She didn’t want any Special Ability. She didn’t want to be a Captain. Every day, she faced those terrifying zombies, and even in her dreams, she would dream of those bloody faces.
She had had enough. The girl in front of her was a monster. It was impossible to survive near her.
“I hate cowards.”
Shen Mengting’s voice was soft, but loud enough for Feng Xue to hear.
She had a bad feeling. Although she was trying hard to run, she found that her movements were becoming very slow.
She felt her legs lose strength. She was like an old and dilapidated machine, unable to take nimble steps.
Because of her clothes, she didn’t know about her bodily changes, but her exposed hands were already withered.
Feng Xue was rapidly aging from bottom to top.
Her black hair became sparse and gray. Her neck was just covered with a layer of loose skin. When she realized what was happening, she collapsed, unable even to get up.
Xu Huaizhi’s body grew orange and black fur, and his figure became more burly. “Mountain God Domain!”
The ground beneath his feet turned into the rugged land of a mountain range, rapidly extending outwards. Shen Mengting did not dodge and was pulled into the Domain.
Xia Yida was somewhat panicked and kept backing away, but she stepped on a corpse, stumbled, and fell backwards.
And the Domain seemed to stop spreading after pulling in Shen Mengting, only a punch away from Xia Yida.
Xia Yida touched the back of her head. The fall only caused slight pain; she wasn’t injured.
