Chapter 1214: Chapter 19: Annihilation Is the Protagonist of the Story
The face turned pale from pain, and he drew in a sharp breath.
Judging by her appearance, a few ribs must have been broken, and perhaps her internal organs were still bleeding.
After all, that was annihilation, a super-powered being capable of traversing space-ti dinsions. Even in her just-unsealed fledgling form, escaping from her grasp was no easy feat.
“Drive faster!”
Do you think this is a race car?
Wang Yunxiao glanced at the rearview mirror, and sure enough, those blood-flesh tendrils were chasing after them.
Isn’t it enough, sis? If you’re going to act, do it thoroughly!
Wang Yunxiao felt a bit touched inside; she was still acting.
If she doesn’t win an Oscar this year, I won’t agree!
Is it really necessary?
For soone as big as her, putting in such effort must have her reasons.
Anyone who frequently works like a horse in a company knows that when you act diligently, it’s either because you’re getting plenty from the boss, or the boss is standing right behind you.
Which one does annihilation fall into?
Wang Yunxiao pondered for a mont, then turned on the car radio.
“What are you doing?”
The girl beside him imdiately cast a wary glance.
“Listening to music, to relax a bit.”
While adjusting the channels, Wang Yunxiao took the opportunity to strike up a conversation: “Miss, how may I address you?”
“Why ask?”
“How should I address you? Can’t keep calling you ‘miss’ forever, right?”
“You can call ‘lady’.”
“Alright, lady, what’s your surna?”
The lady suddenly pulled out a gun and pointed it at Wang Yunxiao’s temple: “Who are you really, speak honestly!”
“Let’s be reasonable, okay? My car was parked there, you jumped down and tried to steal it, and now you’re asking who I am? If I said I was Ultraman, would you believe it?”
“Uh… alright, consider I didn’t ask.”
Seemingly realizing she was unreasonable, the lady quickly put away the gun and tapped twice on her electronic watch.
In the next mont, dozens of drones lifted off from the building rooftops nearby, launching a suicide attack on the pursuing blood-flesh tendrils.
Flas exploded behind them.
However, unfortunately, that level of attack, even mixed with military explosives, was hardly more than a tickle to annihilation.
At this mont, a large drone approached, hovering above Wang Yunxiao’s car.
The lady rolled down the window and told Wang Yunxiao, “Keep the car steady!” like a snake, she slipped out the window, twisted her body, and climbed onto the roof.
Opening the weapon box delivered by the drone, within ten seconds, she quickly assembled a nearly two-ter-long anti-material sniper rifle with the barrel, loaded thumb-thick large-caliber bullets, and decisively pulled the trigger, aiming at the pursuing blood-flesh tendrils.
With a loud boom, footprints were forcibly pressed into the car’s roof above Wang Yunxiao’s head.
The lady discarded the sniper rifle, climbed back into the car, and started coughing violently, pulling out a syringe filled with a suspicious green liquid, pressing it against her neck, and pushing it in rapidly.
“Even such a big monster, is a sniper rifle useless against it?”
Annihilation didn’t have vulnerable parts like eyes. No matter how big the sniper rifle’s caliber was, it was still a bullet, not a shell.
To truly inflict effective damage, Wang Yunxiao thought a bit of high-hypersonic big boys might be needed.
“That’s no ordinary bullet, it’ll give her enough trouble.”
The lady said as she pulled out a second syringe and casually jabbed it into Wang Yunxiao’s shoulder.
Then, the needle bent at a ninety-degree angle.
The atmosphere inside the car plunged into silence.
Wang Yunxiao coughed and asked curiously, “What’s the use of this shot?”
“Anti-radiation… Master, maybe you should just stop here, no need to drive any further.”
The lady’s voice trembled slightly.
The tone sounded a bit like Shen Qingxi’s, too.
Wang Yunxiao shook his head and said, “No, it’s not suitable to stop here, besides, you won’t get far carrying two drags. Are you an operative of the Special Affairs Bureau?”
The lady was silent for two seconds, hesitating between abandoning her teammates to escape and confessing truthfully.
“May I know you…”
“Nickna: Constable?”
“Huh, you know that?”
Li Yufei heaved a sigh of relief: “Really a fellow, you scared …”
“I only know your nickna is Constable, not your real na.”
Wang Yunxiao glanced at the back seat through the rearview mirror: “Which one is the top student? The one with glasses?”
Recognizing one, the other two were easier to identify.
The good news is, my wife is a beauty in both past and present lives, and this version of the trio is the kind that’s fully mature.
Li Yufei’s gaze at him suddenly beca subtle.
“Are you from this world?”
This question stunned Wang Yunxiao.
How did your train of thought leap to here? If her thinking didn’t leap, then she wouldn’t be Shen Qingxi.
Wang Yunxiao always suspected her brain structure was different from normal people’s.
“Answer my question!”
“Each of your questions precisely hit points I don’t know how to answer.”
Wang Yunxiao shrugged and said, “What do you an I’m not from this world? Just because I’m a bit tough-skinned, you suspect I have an alien lineage?”
Li Yufei said coldly, “Because just half an hour ago, soone told that at this point in ti we’re at, we’ve already been caught in a Temporal Tide. Rounding up equals we’re futures dead, right?”
“Who told you that? Li Mumu?”
“You really are an outsider!”
Wang Yunxiao glanced at the frazzled Li Yufei, laughed, and said, “Did Li Mumu tell you about what happens after you traverse?”
“Huh? Tell more!”
“After you died, you traversed to beco the Shen Family’s eldest lady, wealthy beyond asure, deep and strategic, mighty and powerful, practically a heroine.”
“Oh?”
The expression on Li Yufei’s face instantly softened quite a bit.
“She didn’t tell these things… what else, tell more?”
“You’ve also stolen the Imperial Jade Seal.”
“…Looks like today I am dood to escape this deadly tribulation.”
Li Yufei heavily sighed, “What about little Ai? Did she not tell these things, wouldn’t she end up as a roadside stray, and envy with jealousy and hatred towards ?”
“Who?”
Wang Yunxiao nearly stepped on the brakes.
Li Yufei raised an eyebrow and said, “Li Mumu.”
“What did you call her just now?”
“Just Li Mumu.”
Wang Yunxiao gave her a deep glance and didn’t pursue the question further.
“…There’s probably such a situation.”
He subtly changed the topic, sharing his guess with the big Shen Qingxi.
“A cross-dinsional battlefield, makes sense then.”
Li Yufei’s face showed expression of yearning.
“So according to you, annihilation isn’t really chasing us?”
Wang Yunxiao nodded.
Chasing for sure, but rely going through the motions.
At least up until now, Wang Yunxiao hadn’t seen annihilation’s signature purple flas, which symbolize the instant possession of flesh by the millions—the true hallmark that ans business. Besides, if she truly intended to pursue and kill, could those blood-flesh tendrils even outrun four wheels?
“Then it gets interesting. For us, the most important thing today is to break her seal, but for her, not necessarily. Anyway, there’s no personal grudge between us and her.”
But there are plenty who have personal grudges with her.
Wang Yunxiao thought the sa, as annihilation once told him a story about the Federation’s mutants.
Annihilation’s birth was built upon the corpses of countless mutants, and this accumulated hatred from the dead fused into her blood-flesh.
That story had annihilation as the protagonist, not Li Mumu. Breaking the shackles and gaining freedom was only the beginning of the story; the true main plot was with annihilation. She intended to unleash a wild revenge on those in her little black book before news of her escape spread wide.
After quite a while, the car radio finally began broadcasting the voice of an on-site reporter.
“Oh, God, this monster is devouring people alive! Barry Building has been enveloped, and the police are requesting heavy firepower support…”
