Ch 95: Xinze City hit the jackpot?!

“Leader, Reconnaissance Team 9 was completely wiped out after approaching Olijia’er. It should have been a woman who did it. She said she would kill anyone who approached the stronghold.”

“Observed Xia Yiqing in an SUV leaving that stronghold. There were 3 other people in the car, but it’s unclear who they are.”

Ke Fan was somewhat angry. Since a warning had been issued, why hadn’t he been told? Was this deliberately sending his reconnaissance team members to their deaths?

But Ke Fan didn’t dare say anything more; he could only speak to this extent.

“Alright, I understand.”

Li Jingru offered no explanation; higher-ups don’t care about such trivial matters.

The Xinghe District seems explorable, as long as we don’t get close to Olijia’er. It seems Number 1 has truly been relocated.

However, what he didn’t expect was that Number 1 wasn’t in Jianghua City, and Xia Yiqing, Shen Mengting, and others still hadn’t changed sides. Was this spontaneous, or would they remain this way as long as Number 1 was still alive?

If those two teamed up, and added Song Ci, the Jianghua City Ability User Base would still not be their match.

But as long as Number 1 wasn’t around, everything would be easier to handle. After all, they had once fought for humanity and didn’t seem so terrifying.

After understanding the situation, Li Jingru sent a message to the Esper Base Alliance that Number 1 had likely left Jianghua City.

In this way, Jianghua City had done what it needed to do. It would be best not to wait until other cities suffered before taking action.

All the base leaders began to take this seriously and looked up Number 1’s file.

Initially, they hadn’t cared because it wasn’t related to their cities. They just focused on their own city’s affairs; another city having a monster was of no concern to them.

But now, the news from Jianghua City was like a time bomb, exploding among the people.

A zombie who faced eight Special Grade Ability Users, effortlessly killed seven of them, and brought the strongest one over to their side, was now missing?

With so many people asking, Li Jingru simply made Number 1’s file public. He was now relaxed and patiently answered everyone’s questions.

As long as the pain wasn’t on him, he would be as kind as could be.

Fu Chengyu saw the message and his heart sank. Sure enough, Number 1 wasn’t in Jianghua City anymore. It was said that Number 1 could fly and grow, so is it possible that he grew wings?

The video footage lacked close-ups, making it impossible to see Number 1’s appearance clearly, but it seemed somewhat similar to the person who appeared in the back last night.

Fu Chengyu was somewhat afraid. If the second person was Number 1, what was the first zombie?

Xinze City hit the jackpot?! Two Mutated Species of that level?!

He trembled as he sent a message to the group.

“Number 1 is suspected to be in Xinze City. Xinze City encountered powerful Mutated Species.”

Fu Chengyu considered it and sent the monitoring footage from last night into the group.

“This isn’t Number 1…”

Li Jingru looked at the zombie in the video with some disappointment. Although this zombie also showed amazing destructive power, it was still far inferior to Number 1.

He published the news hoping to gain the attention of other cities. Only by completely discovering Number 1 and reporting it could he be 100% sure that the transfer of Number 1 was successful.

“Wait…that’s Number 1!”

Li Jingru was surprised to find Number 1’s figure appearing in the last few seconds of the video!

This was what Li Jingru most wanted to see, and his smile spread across his face.

If he had known that waiting another night would bring him the news he wanted, he wouldn’t have sent the reconnaissance team to their deaths.

But a reconnaissance team was nothing; it wasn’t a high cost compared to this exhilarating news.

“Jianghua City danger is over; the target has been moved to Xinze City! Inform the Higher-Ups of this news. All activities proceed as normal, but temporarily avoid approaching Olijia’er.”

“Yes.”

…

Song Ci realized they were being watched. Logically, after moving so far, they shouldn’t feel that gaze anymore.

But Song Ci discovered the gaze was always coming from one person, unchanged from this distance.

“Someone is following us.”

Song Ci alerted everyone.

“People from the Ability User Base, right? Besides them, who would bother?”

Xia Yiqing didn’t take those people seriously. There were very few people in the Jianghua City Ability User Base who could beat him, and he hadn’t even tried his best during their sparring sessions.

“It would be dangerous if they attacked us while we were in the car. I can’t determine what their abilities are.”

“Can you determine their direction?”

“Yes, seven o’clock direction, maintaining a distance of about 800 meters.”

Xia Yiqing nodded, “Little Ci, this is up to you. I’ll go meet them.”

“Be careful.”

“Don’t worry.”

Zhu Zhu stopped the car, and Xia Yiqing quickly rushed out, his body like a gust of wind, leaving only an afterimage.

“They stopped! What are they doing here?”

There’s nothing around here. It seemed like someone got out of the car just now?

This team member’s ability is long-distance vision; it’s like having a built-in telescope, not very useful, only suitable for working in the reconnaissance team.

“Stop, they stopped. Don’t approach.”

It’s strange. The car just sits there without any action. What are they doing?

“You’re from the reconnaissance team? Why are you following us?”

A familiar and handsome face appeared in everyone’s sight.

“Captain… Captain Xia!”

“Answer my question.”

Xia Yiqing pointed at them. The members of Team 21 immediately became afraid. It was said that Xia Yiqing could make people explode instantly.

“Captain Xia, we only received orders from our superiors to investigate your and Team Leader Song’s whereabouts. We meant no harm! We won’t do it again!”

“Yes, Captain Xia, besides reconnaissance, we can’t do anything else. We really meant no harm! We’re leaving now!”

Everyone nervously stared at Xia Yiqing, waiting for his response.

Xia Yiqing sighed, “Go. Don’t bother me. Also, we want the Auchan Supermarket in Taishehui. If anyone tries to grab it, I don’t mind having a fight.”

“Yes, Captain Xia, we’ll definitely pass the message on!”

Several people breathed a sigh of relief. It was fortunate that they encountered Xia Yiqing.

Team 9, which encountered Shen Mengting, had been completely wiped out. They were still relieved that the SUV they were following hadn’t gone to Olijia’er and encountered danger, but now they had been discovered.

But how were they discovered? They had always kept a great distance.

Xia Yiqing wasn’t known to have strong energy perception either; otherwise, his previous team wouldn’t have included Yuan Sen, who had Energy Perception.

Song Ci was probably also in the car. Song Ci’s ability to sense and conceal his presence was very strong.

Although Team 21’s captain’s ability was rather weak, his analytical skills were good.

He decided to feed this speculation back to the base, but their team would no longer take on the task of monitoring Captain Xia.

Xia Yiqing returned to the car, “It’s settled. They won’t come again.”

“Good job, Big Silly Qing.”

“Only you are smart.”

Xia Yiqing moved from the passenger seat to the back seat to pinch Song Ci’s face.

Song Ci’s face was full of smiles.

Lin Lulu frowned at the two of them, while Zhu Zhu’s face was red, lost in thought.

“Save the flirting for later. The mission isn’t over yet.”

Lin Lulu couldn’t take it anymore; the two of them were making a lot of noise in the car.

Upon hearing Lin Lulu’s words, the two instantly blushed, and the atmosphere quieted down.

Flirting? What kind of wording is that? But how to refute it?

Silence fell over the car, only the sound of exploding zombies surrounding them.

“Ahem, I told them the Auchan is ours. They shouldn’t come here to grab supplies. With the Auchan Supermarket, our stronghold can last for a while.”

“Good. Let’s come here a few more times in the next few days. There are few places in the stronghold where we can keep fresh food. Try to get canned food.”

Everyone nodded and prepared to empty the Auchan within a few days.
