Chapter 747: Number 9
"Alright then!"
Uncle Wang grinned, baring his teeth.
Golden superpower overflowed from his body, and the golden light instantly spread from him to the entire green garbage truck.
The green garbage truck turned yellow, and the entire vehicle was shrouded with a divine aura.
Bai Zhengxuan jumped down from the garbage truck, lifted Bai Yifan with one arm, and stuffed him into the green garbage truck.
Bai Yifan didn’t even have time to speak before he felt the powerful energy wave emitted from Bai Zhengxuan.
Blazing flames surprisingly intertwined with the mutated climbing vine, tightly wrapping around the monster, which occasionally let out painful screeches.
"Xiao Fan, keep an eye on the situation, stab him if you can."
Uncle Wang raised his eyebrows, and the green garbage truck charged straight at the monstrous gale.
Bai Yifan stood by the window of the garbage truck, surrounded by Uncle Wang’s golden light, which instantly calmed him a lot.
Holding a knife without any hesitation, ready to stab the gale monster at any time.
Hong Yu had recovered her strength after absorbing the crystal core, and Bai Anhai and Liu Jing also rushed over.
Charging straight towards the gale monster.
With the Base Commander gone, it was mostly the Bai Family battling the monster.
As Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai went to find the mastermind, they looked back and saw the Bai Family working so closely together.
Bai Anhai and Wang Yiyun were enveloped in lightning, crackling and sparking like thunder, directly striking at the gale monster.
Even from a distance, Bai Xiqin could see purple flashing past.
Bai Zhengxuan and Uncle Liu’s mutated plants tied up the gale monster, completely restraining its movement, its wings were tightly bound.
Hong Yu’s flames attacked the gale monster’s eyes, which had no feathers to block the flames, hitting its weak spot directly.
The most excessive was Uncle Wang, with the green garbage truck ramming straight into the gale monster’s abdomen, and Bai Yifan wildly stabbing with a bronze dagger.
There was no order to it.
Liu Jing did not participate in the attack, calmly standing by the door, ready to deal with any zombies that might appear.
There was only one thought in Bai Xiqin’s mind.
This fierce beast is truly miserable!
The gale is incredibly ferocious and must be eradicated.
Regardless of whether there is a mastermind, its presence will bring disaster.
A fierce beast that has tasted human flesh will never become a true Divine Beast.
Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai moved quickly, soon leaving the safety base’s entrance, with only the occasional screech of the gale and some aimlessly wandering zombies in sight.
Those zombies roamed the streets without purpose, not even charging at Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai.
This was very unusual.
Like a lookout.
To be able to scout through zombies and possess control over monsters, Bai Xiqin immediately thought of one person.
Wang Ge.
The research institute doesn’t only study Superpower Users, they also research mutant animals.
Wang Ge, a human who could control zombies, could very well control mutant animals through some means.
Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai exchanged a glance and avoided the zombies on the street, entering an abandoned house on the roadside.
Once the two were out of the zombies’ sight, the zombies outside began to stir.
More and more zombies surged in this direction.
They looked grotesque, yet there were no howls, twisting their distorted bodies like marionettes.
Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai did not hear the zombies’ howls but did hear the increasingly dense sound of footsteps around them.
"In that direction."
Leng Yebai closed his eyes, carefully listening to the surroundings, finally looking in one direction.
The zombies seemed to come from all directions, but in reality, they were pouring in from one direction before scattering when they got closer.
Bai Xiqin walked to the window, looked outside, and felt her scalp tingle.
The zombies were densely packed beneath the house.
They were all ordinary zombies, behaving strangely.
Every zombie stood silently in place without moving, heads held high, their hollow eyes staring at the window where Bai Xiqin stood.
At a glance, they were all rotting heads with empty eyes.
"Let’s go!"
Bai Xiqin grabbed Leng Yebai’s hand and spat out a word.
Stepping onto the windowsill, she pushed off with force, leaving the windowsill behind.
Leng Yebai didn’t hesitate either, following Bai Xiqin as they leapt towards the opposite side.
The invisible control power acted upon them, amplifying the force of their jump, making them feel like they were flying, gliding through the air for a long time.
At the same time, countless purple lightning bolts crashed down on the zombies below.
The zombies lifted their heads, watching as the sky was covered by purple lightning, completely obscuring the two’s movements.
Thud, thud――
One by one, the zombies fell to the ground and never got up again.
Even if some could still see with their eyes, the purple lightning blinded them, making it impossible to see which way the pair went.
"Roar――"
The zombies finally let out angry roars.
But they wandered aimlessly like headless flies, seeking flesh to devour, yet finding none to consume.
Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai’s figures completely disappeared from the zombies’ sight.
A kilometer away from the safety base on a tall building.
A middle-aged man in blue work clothes stood frozen in place.
On the blue work clothes over his heart was embroidered a number――9.
A device resembling an antenna was embedded in his temple.
"They disappeared."
The middle-aged man casually tapped the antenna at his temple with his fingers, his lips curving slightly.
He squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of the safety base. From afar, he saw two small dots getting closer and closer to him.
Gradually, the two little black dots turned into human figures.
"Found them."
The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows, remaining calm and composed, even leisurely pulling out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.
Flames spilled from his fingertips to light a cigarette, and soon smoke swirled around him.
By the time Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai, riding on the control power, landed in front of the man, he was still calm and composed.
"Are you with Wang Ge?"
Bai Xiqin glanced at the exaggerated antenna device on the man’s temple.
Though she hadn’t seen one on Wang Ge’s head, she couldn’t think of another mysterious organization capable of this.
"Wang Ge? That failed experimental waste?"
Upon hearing Wang Ge’s name, the middle-aged man showed a mocking expression with utter disdain.
Bai Xiqin’s eyes settled on the number 9 on the blue work clothes, contemplating deeply.
These numbers surely have some special meaning, it seems that there are more like the middle-aged man controlling monsters like the gale.
Noticing Bai Xiqin looking at the number on his clothes, the man didn’t try to hide anything, instead finding interest in explaining a few things.
"We are much more successful than that waste Wang Ge. They and their father think that transplanting a powerful crystal core could make them gods; it’s sheer delusion."
"To us, Wang Ge is at most a defective product."
"The two of you have remarkable superpowers with unique qualities, far better in aptitude compared to our target, Hong Yu. Would you consider joining our organization――Flame?"
As the middle-aged man spoke, he calmly returned the cigarette box to his pocket, a faint smile hung on his face.
