Her anxious expression made Zhao Xiweng puzzled.
She glanced at the large water tank, standing five ters tall, shook her head in refusal, “It’s my turn to work today, if you have nothing important, then just go.”
“I don’t want to say it a second ti,” Su Mo said with a frown, a Tang Blade appearing in her hand.
Zhao Xiweng felt overwheld by her aura, moved her mouth, and eventually, with a long face, climbed down from the ladder leading to the top of the water tank.
Seeing her co down, Su Mo hastily climbed up the ladder.
Unable to help herself, Zhao Xiweng asked, “What are you looking for?”
Su Mo ignored her, simply standing at the edge of the tank, peering inside.
Zhao Xiweng couldn’t maintain her pretense of politeness any longer at Su Mo’s indifferent attitude.
She quietly followed Su Mo and stealthily climbed up the ladder behind her.
Su Mo’s ears twitched, but her gaze remained fixed on the water tank, “Has anyone opened this water when you arrived?”
“No, I was the first one to open it, but the lid was a bit rusty,” Zhao Xiweng said softly from behind her, her eyes harboring ill intent.
Upon hearing this, Su Mo imdiately checked the part where the water tank’s lid opened.
Bringing her view closer, she detected a rusty spot, particularly red inside the crevice.
Zhao Xiweng saw her staring intently at the spot as if in a daze.
She glanced at the water tank right before her eyes and suddenly pushed Su Mo from behind.
Su Mo’s reaction was incredibly fast, as if she had eyes on her back.
Her hand reached behind and grabbed Zhao Xiweng’s hand, flinging her towards the tank and switching their positions.
Zhao Xiweng missed her step and fell into the water tank.
As a Water Elent Superpower User, Su Mo wasn’t worried at all about Zhao Xiweng drowning herself.
She stood over the opening, looking down at her with cold eyes.
Falling into the water, Zhao Xiweng reflexively activated her superpower, causing the water inside the tank to begin swirling rapidly, dragging her drenched body upwards.
As soon as Su Mo saw this, she leaped down from the top of the water tank and stepped back several paces.
Large splashes of water sprayed out of the tank, and Zhao Xiweng fell back to the ground, bedraggled and choking on a few mouthfuls of water, “Are you crazy!”
She yelled angrily at Su Mo, who showed no reaction and only observed her from a distance.
Knowing she was in the wrong, Zhao Xiweng staggering to her feet, supported herself with her hands, and walked towards the rooftop door.
No reaction?
Su Mo frowned.
Had they overthought the situation?
She followed behind Zhao Xiweng down the stairs.
Inside Infinity Restaurant, the patrons subdued by Lu Chen were starting to get unhappy.
Those who could afford to dine here were not of low stature.
Several had already struggled to their feet, voicing their objections, “Lu Chen, are you trying to ruin Infinity Restaurant’s reputation?”
“Don’t think we can’t do anything just because you’re a Level 5 Superpower User!”
“That’s right, we just ca here to eat.
Bloody hell, how long are you going to keep us locked up?”
“…”
Amidst a clamor of noisy complaints, Su Mo and Zhao Xiweng descended the stairs, one after the other.
eting Lu Chen’s inquiring gaze, Su Mo shook her head and walked up to him.
She tiptoed to whisper in his ear, “I checked and there’s nothing unusual.”
Lu Chen lifted the pressure off everyone, his expression relaxing.
He took her hand and said coldly to the people present, “My apologies, all your als today are on .”
A free al at Infinity Restaurant delighted so and was scorned by others, but no one chose to waste a table full of food.
Everyone sat back down to continue their al.
Zhao Xiweng was the only one who chose not to stay.
As she walked to the door, Su Mo’s heart suddenly skipped a beat and she involuntarily looked towards her.
On the back of Zhao Xiweng’s neck, a lump briefly swelled up and then disappeared.
“Lu Chen,” Su Mo’s voice trembled slightly.
“Hmm?” The man looked down at her.
“Do you rember, so of the bugs from Southern Island have an incubation period and might already be infected under the skin,” Su Mo looked up, the Tang Blade appearing in her hand.
They all forgot this crucial piece of information.
The man’s face imdiately darkened, as outside, Hu Ding had already led his troops to completely surround the Infinity Restaurant.
Su Mo ran out, catching up to Zhao Xiweng.
She pressed the knife tip against her chest and threatened, “Go back.”
“Su Mo, are you insane?” Zhao Xiweng couldn’t hold back any longer.
She conjured a Water Arrow in her hand and shot it at her.
Su Mo dodged to the side, not daring to get too close to Zhao Xiweng, she could only use the knife to force her to retreat repeatedly.
Zhao Xiweng wasn’t foolish; she sensed sothing was wrong with the situation at the Infinity Restaurant and turned to run.
The Cold Ice Barbs forming under Lu Chen’s feet surged towards Zhao Xiweng, cutting off her retreat.
She started to panic but, having no other choice, was forced back into the Infinity Restaurant.
“I didn’t do anything!
What are you doing to !”
The vast Infinity Restaurant was now completely besieged by soldiers who had rushed over.
Superpower users, who were originally pleased that soone was picking up the bill, were now set afla by these actions.
A burly man took the lead in flipping over the table, his height shooting up to three ters, “Damn it, won’t let people have a peaceful al, huh?”
Dozens of gun barrels were raised in unison, aid at him.
The burly man was not afraid in the slightest and walked towards a soldier with a gun.
There was a heavy aura of intimidation around him, but these soldiers were not pushovers either, most of them were superpower users.
When their power and lives were threatened, no one was willing to compromise.
The burly man made a swing at the soldier’s face, determined to vent his anger.
Bullets shot from the muzzle and hit the burly man’s calf.
The body of a Level 3 Power Superpower User was greatly reinforced.
The silver skin only had a dimple made by the bullet; he wasn’t injured in the slightest.
His fist was about to strike the soldier’s face.
A massive Ice Shield ford in front of him.
His punch landed on the Ice Shield, which remained unscathed, but his hand was injured, and he howled in pain repeatedly.
Lu Chen stood beside Hu Ding and said coldly, “Watch them.”
Everyone was perplexed, but facing the military’s forceful suppression, they temporarily returned to their seats.
Su Mo’s gaze, however, kept following Zhao Xiweng closely.
She noticed Zhao Xiweng’s steps slowing down until, finally, with her head lowered, she sat in a chair.
She could hear Zhao Xiweng’s intermittent, muttering voice, “What…
is this thing”.
Su Mo tugged at Lu Chen’s sleeve, pointing in the direction of Zhao Xiweng, “She just fell into the water tank, she’s infected.”
Hu Ding looked at her, shocked, “Then all these people…”
“Perhaps there are also those who have left after eating.
You need to imdiately filter them out,” Su Mo considered for a mont before saying.
“Bang!”
Zhao Xiweng suddenly fell from her chair, making a loud noise.
Lu Chen didn’t hesitate, the Ice Blade in his hand condensed, and he shot it towards Zhao Xiweng.
“Fuck!
You’re killing a superpower user!”
A Gold Elent Superpower User suddenly stood in front of Zhao Xiweng, blocking the deadly strike for her.
Lu Chen frowned, “Move away!”
“What?”
The Gold Elent Superpower User was stunned.
After that, the surrounding gazes towards him were a bit strange—not at him, but behind him.
He stiffly turned his head.
Zhao Xiweng’s body was eerily twisting as she stood up, her eyes turning white, rotating 360 degrees without purpose, indistinguishable from a zombie.
