267: 265 267: 265 He threw a punch at her face, terrified on the spot.
“No!
Stop!” Su Mo shouted.
But he was right in front of Zhao Xiweng, and his hand moved too quickly.
In an instant, the golden spear that materialized from his fist directly chopped off Zhao Xiweng’s head.
A massive number of insects burst forth from the neck, spraying the face of the Gold Elent Superpower User.
“Fuck, what is this!”
He desperately tried to remove the things on his face, but the creatures that had burrowed into his skin simply could not be pulled out.
At this point, everyone finally panicked, all trying to push their way out.
Su Mo was shielded by Lu Chen as they exited the restaurant, where the sounds of dense gunfire and battles among superpower users erupted.
Every ti a superpower user fell, a cluster of insects exploded out, and the situation spiraled out of control.
“It’s failed,” she watched everything inside the restaurant, the uncontainable panic finally beginning to spread in her heart, she clutched Lu Chen’s arm tightly, her expression numb, “we can’t stop it.”
Hu Ding was still at the entrance of the restaurant, where Lu Chen condensed an ice wall in front of him, giving him a chance to escape.
He ran to his side, his legs trembling, “I’ve never seen anything so disgusting, is this what you encountered on Southern Island?”
“Let’s leave first.
Go send for reinforcents, let Commander Jiang alert everyone, superpower users to be prepared for protection and retreat,” Lu Chen took Su Mo’s hand, and the three ran off rapidly.
Hu Ding nodded, didn’t even greet the pair, and hurriedly climbed into his car, and stepped on the accelerator toward the Inner Ring.
At this mont, only one thought was in his mind,
It’s over,
all over.
The base was about to be overrun.
On the way, Su Mo’s rapidly beating heart slowly returned to normal.
It no longer made her feel panic and fear, but this was not a good sign.
It ant that the real catastrophe was beginning to descend.
Back at the apartnt, she rushed to pack things in the bathroom, “Lu Chen, go find Li Qian and tell them to pack up and co find .”
Seeing her urgency, he went over, pulled her into his arms, and comforted her softly, “Don’t rush.”
An enormous alarm was triggered within the Second Ring.
Su Mo stayed in his arms for a good while before she cald down, “Okay.”
At Jiang Residence, upon receiving the news, Jiang Hai smashed the docunts onto the table, “Pass the order down, send all soldiers and superpower users to support, make sure not to get splashed by the insects, and the Lu Family, tell them to send help.”
Upon receiving the order, Hu Ding imdiately called all the soldiers and rushed out urgently.
Inside the Lu Family Mansion, Lu Jin, who had just received the news, was sitting on the edge of the bed, expressionless.
“Mr.
Lu Jin, Commander Jiang has asked for support,” Chang Sheng stood at the door.
Lu Jin stroked the gauze in his palm; the wound there had just healed sowhat but was deliberately reopened by soone else, his voice cold and fierce, “Has that information been sent over?”
“Yes, upon receiving the ssage, they asked us to go to the western base’s lab.”
“Pass the order down, let all soldiers pack their bags, we are imdiately retreating.”
“Retreat?!” Chang Sheng was stunned, “What about Vice Commander Lu…”
“Send the ssage.”
“Yes.”
…
It was destined to be a day without peace.
The Second Ring was completely thrown into chaos, on the streets, despite Jiang Hai’s deploynt of all personnel.
But these mutated insects penetrated everywhere.
Just encountering one ant a frenzied contagion.
The wails grew louder and even on the twenty-sixth floor, Su Mo could hear those tragic sounds.
She had already packed everything, stuffing it all into Lu Chen’s Space, and had gone downstairs to call Zhao Changsheng and Li Qian, who had already packed their things and placed them in the living room.
She had also instructed them to wear coats made from gorilla skin.
Now, only Su Niang was left.
Su Mo went to knock on her door, followed by Li Qian, who clearly could not put his mind at ease about this woman.
Unexpectedly, several people were gathered inside.
Ruo Lin, Mo Yan, and others were all there.
Only Zhao Xiweng was missing.
They all knew about her death.
“Miss Su, why have you co?” Su Niang pulled at her, her voice hopeful, “How is Ling Ye, that child…”
“He’s fine,” Su Mo reached out her hand to her, “Su Niang, it’s not safe outside now, do you want to co with us first?”
“This…” Su Niang turned her head and glanced at Huang Qi.
Knowing her concerns, Su Mo continued, “You can bring Huang Qi with you.”
“No, Miss Su,” Huang Qi replied crisply, “I have already joined Commander Mo’s team, I can’t just leave.”
Li Qian’s gaze was fixed on Su Niang as he softly said, “You’ll be safer with us.”
But her son had already made his choice, and Su Niang couldn’t even look directly into Li Qian’s eyes, just speaking to Su Mo, “My son will protect , you all don’t need to worry.”
Su Mo couldn’t forcibly take her, she looked at Li Qian, ultimately, it was still up to him.
Li Qian was silent for a while, his gentle eyes showing a hint of distance, “Take care.”
He turned around and left without any reluctance.
Su Mo looked at him, then at Su Niang, and finally said, “Then we’re leaving.”
As they left, the door closed.
That ‘take care,’ how could Su Niang not hear the indifference in it.
She sighed, the child, he had considered her half a mother.
Back at the apartnt, the group organized all the belongings, and Su Mo had Lu Chen bring out the prepared food from the Space, and everyone had a hearty al.
To everyone’s surprise, Ling Ye, now restored to normal, could enjoy all the benefits that the food provided.
Su Mo couldn’t understand the strange phenonon occurring with him, and after everyone had finished eating, she said, “If there are any accidents when we leave later, rember to activate the Pumpkin Protection Shield.
Although it lasts only half an hour, it’s enough ti for us to get to the Inner Ring.”
Since Jiang Yulian was still at Jiang Residence, Su Mo planned to check the situation there, more so because she was concerned that Lu Chen wouldn’t be at peace with his aunt who had raised him for over twenty years.
Ling Ye was now able to walk down on his own, with no abnormalities from before.
When Li Qian suggested carrying him, he was adamantly refused, “Brother Li Qian, I am in good health.”
He didn’t want to be a burden nor did he wish to pose one.
Nobody forced him, and Su Mo kept a close watch on him.
Having prepared everything, the group walked out of the apartnt to the elevator lobby.
The overhead lights suddenly began to flicker non-stop.
Finally, after a sizzling sound, the entire corridor went dark.
The power was out.
“Why is the power out?” Zhao Changsheng was plunged into darkness, his eyes unable to focus, seeing nothing clearly.
Li Qian reached out to press the elevator button, “No response.”
Inside the corridor, quite a few superpower users who had been staying at ho ca out, finding the situation strange.
Many of them had already packed their luggage.
Lu Chen made a swift decision, “Take the stairs.”
The group hurried to the safety exit, as more and more people ca out, having realized the unusual circumstances, they quickly gathered their belongings and followed.
