Chapter 143: Chapter 141 Our Boss Has Arrived! (Please Subscribe)
Half an hour later,
inside a secure house belonging to the Super Combat Departnt in Snowfall City, the haggard young man vomited everything he had just eaten, retching violently.
Fear was evident in his eyes, but so was excitent.
“Monsters, and… supernatural powers!”
He was excited, yet when he recalled the bloody scene from before, he hesitated and obediently shrank back into the corner.
The personnel from the Super Combat Departnt were also sowhat unsettled.
The dazzling thunder from monts ago seed still etched in their minds; that scene where three monsters were annihilated in an instant lingered in their thoughts for a long ti.
Too strong!
This was definitely a twice-awakened Awakener!
Possessing the ability to manipulate ‘Thunder Silk’—an incredibly powerful Ability!
Just that, did they have such a strong civilian Awakener in Wavemist Nation, and an Easterner at that?
The leader, a burly man, pondered for a mont before speaking in Sunset language, “I am the captain of the regular combat squad of the Super Combat Departnt, codenad ‘Iron Fist.’ Which organization do you Awakeners belong to?”
His gaze swept over them.
Two teammates beside him subtly lifted their gun barrels.
Luo Rui was not pleased.
“Hey hey, we are, after all, your lifesavers,” he said.
The Illusionary Pupil glanced over, a faint gleam swirling in his eyes, “I’d advise you, it’d be best not to shoot.”
In the blink of an eye, the guns in the hands of the two teammates clattered to the ground.
The man codenad ‘Iron Fist’ snapped back to reality and realized in horror that he had been bound by white threads.
The sa threads that had instantaneously killed three monsters.
He swallowed hard, “I think we offended you, so how about we talk instead?”
“That’s possible,” ca the reply.
…
After a bout of physical negotiation, the three mbers from the Wavemist Nation’s Super Combat Departnt beca much easier to deal with.
Although they stumbled into revealing their identities as Awakeners, which might have already attracted the attention of the Heretical Cult followers, still…
After all, the Super Combat Departnt was an official mysterious departnt of Wavemist Nation; if they could secure their cooperation, searching for the Heretical Cult followers would be much easier.
“Now, let us move on to the first question—regarding the special Awakener from before, how much information have you gathered?”
The most fluent in foreign languages, the elder brother Wind Chant, asked.
“About that question… actually, we would really like to know as well,” Iron Fist replied cautiously.
In truth, he was more eager to understand the identities of the three people in front of him.
All three were likely Awakeners, and the young man leading them was possibly a twice-awakened one! What did that imply? If they were in the Super Combat Departnt, they would certainly belong to one of the top teams.
His own team only had him as an Awakener, while the remaining four were just active-duty warriors.
But when it ca to confronting other Awakeners, with firearms at their disposal, they did not fear them. No matter how strong the Awakened power, could it withstand hot weapons? If pistols weren’t enough, then use rifles! Sniper rifles! Rocket launchers!
That’s what they thought before.
Now…
“Among our assignnts is the investigation of the Holy Moon Church; however, in Wavemist Nation, including other countries, a myriad of organizations and churches are erging. A new church wouldn’t garner attention, except that this church seems to have quite a few Awakeners.”
“We suspect there might be three, four, or six to seven of them.”
“Then we took the trouble to find a follower of the Holy Moon Church, hoping she could introduce us to the high-level mbers within. We aid to take the opportunity to recruit the church’s Awakeners into our Super Combat Departnt.”
“But who would have thought, before a few words were exchanged, that follower flew into a rage and attacked us like a mad person, and then you saw what happened next.”
That’s all, that’s all?
Luo Rui was sowhat speechless; after all that talk, barely any useful information? Hardly more than the distraught young man had provided before!
They were quite disappointing.
“Your Super Combat Departnt doesn’t take such heretical organizations seriously?”
The burly man, ‘Iron Fist,’ indeed seed uninterested, “The main forces of our departnt are dealing with Mysterious Evil. How could the threat of heretical organizations be greater than that of Mysterious Evil? Even if they have Awakeners.”
“Exactly!”
Another teammate gritted his teeth, “We went there with good intentions; that’s why we didn’t bring high-caliber firearms, otherwise how could we be overpowered by a few wild Awakeners? Awakeners are still made of flesh!”
Indeed, firearms could harm or even kill Awakeners, but fighting against heretical followers resembled urban combat. Owning firearms didn’t an holding absolute superiority.
Besides, the heretical followers they had just encountered were only single-Awakeners.
And according to the mission statent, there wouldn’t be a small number of heretical followers, and nor would they lack strong individuals… Luo Rui pondered this, then discussed with Wind Chant and Illusionary Pupil for a while.
They decided to wait for reinforcents from the Super Combat Departnt. If they could find the heretical cult’s lair with the help of the local mysterious departnt, nothing could be better.
But before the reinforcents arrived, one of the teammates noticed strange figures appearing around the safe house through the surveillance footage.
n and won, young and old, dressed in various clothes, coming from different places, seemingly unconnected. The only thing they shared was moving towards this location.
“We’ve been discovered!”
“Damn it! How did they find us here!”
“Go to hell! I want revenge!”
There were firearms in the safe house; Iron Fist and the other two mbers of the Super Combat Departnt picked up rifles and machine guns. The trembling, haggard young man also took up a gun for self-defense.
Luo Rui did not take one.
They themselves carried specially made large-caliber pistols, specifically to counter heretical Awakeners, but compared to firearms, they still preferred using their own abilities.
The three Super Combat Departnt mbers, yearning for revenge and now ard, were brimming with confidence. Seizing the right mont, just as the heretical followers breached the door and entered the hallway,
“Fire!”
Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat—
The gun barrels spewed flas, and the bullets tore through the leading heretical follower, ripping his entire body to shreds.
Then ca the second, and the third.
The machine gun, like the reaper itself, continued to harvest the lives of the heretical followers who were storming in.
The mbers of the Super Battle Team let out boisterous laughter.
The laughter ca to an abrupt halt.
An entire shoulder had been bitten off, and the rest of the body was turning grey.
“It’s Mysterious Evil!”
Luo Rui’s Thousand Threads swept by, revealing the cheetah-like Mysterious Evil.
It wasn’t very strong, but to ordinary people, it was deadly enough.
The defense line had been torn apart, the followers of the Heretical Cult sward in, and among them, there might be a few more Mysterious Evil.
The Iron Fist of the Super Battle Team’s eyes turned red.
“Damn it! Damn it!”
“Why are there Mysterious Evils here!”
He kept firing his gun.
Luo Rui and his two comrades also fell into a bitter fight.
His Thousand Threads could pierce through at an extrely fast speed and, the mont it bound the Heretical Cult followers, let lightning spread.
This move could instantly kill a Heretical Cult Awakener.
But the energy cost was significant.
The Heretical Cult followers were not re punching bags.
He twisted off the cap, gulped down a bottle of Energy Recovery Potion, and his face contorted slightly, the bitterness vented onto the Heretical Cult followers.
The threads danced, the arcs of thunder flashed.
“But there are too many of them!”
“All of them are Awakeners, and their Awakened Abilities are very similar!”
“Claws, fangs, strong vitality, self-healing abilities, are these the characteristics of this Heretical Cult?”
“Brother Wind Chant, is now the ti to analyze the situation!”
Illusionary Pupil’s fashionable dress had been torn, revealing the special combat suit underneath.
Had it not been for this combat suit, she might have just lost her life.
Her heart was pounding violently right now.
She turned, her eyes radiating rings, and glared at the Heretical Cult follower in front of her.
The fierce-looking Heretical Cult follower suddenly froze.
Seizing the mont, Illusionary Pupil raised her pistol and pulled the trigger.
Bang—
The Heretical Cult follower’s head burst like a waterlon.
But the situation did not improve; it was as if they had stirred a hornet’s nest, with more and more Heretical Cult followers pouring into the safehouse.
She looked at the people from the Super Battle Team and couldn’t help but shout, “When will your reinforcents arrive!”
Iron Fist was covered in blood and bitterly said, “Judging by my experience, at least an hour or two, and the reinforcents won’t be very strong.”
The wild Awakener organizations, they had never taken them seriously.
He guessed that among the reinforcents, there were not many Awakeners, probably just equipped with more heavy weapons.
However,
looking at these Heretical Cult followers with different outfits… so still in pajamas, now all showing similar Awakened traits, the sa ferocity, the sa madness… Iron Fist involuntarily felt a chill.
This was definitely not so wild organization!
What kind of monsters are these!
Could it be, it really was a Heretical Cult!
They had seriously underestimated the situation!
But Iron Fist was finding it increasingly difficult to hold off the attackers, and it was the strong man from the East who had taken on most of the pressure.
He was strong.
His power was also among the top within the Super Battle Team.
Only, there were too many enemies! And among those Heretical Cult followers, there were those who were very fast, likely to be second-stage Awakening experts!
The grey figure flickered, and the young man manipulating ‘Thunder Silk’ started to get into deadly situations.
Holes had been cut in his combat suit, and blood was seeping through nurous places.
It’s a tight spot!
Yet Luo Rui cracked a smile, “Don’t panic.”
Iron Fist wiped blood from his mouth, his eyes brightened with hope, “How can I not panic in this situation… Do you have any way to break out?”
“No.”
Luo Rui shot out the threads. The frequency of Ability and skill use had exhausted his life energy, his complexion visibly paling.
But the smile remained.
“Because the big shot of our organization has arrived.”
Organization?
Big Shot?
A figure that even this Eastern expert called a big shot?
Iron Fist was stunned for a mont, and in that mont of distraction, he was nearly taken down by the Heretical Cult follower in front of him.
The sharp nails stopped just an inch from his throat.
The person stopped.
He staggered and fell to the ground, gasping for air.
He heard a series of “dingling”, “dingling” sounds.
Outside the dilapidated safehouse, with walls broken and scattered, a tall figure slowly walked over.
Holding a small bell, gently swaying it.
“Dingling—”
