Chapter 135: Combat Power Of High-Level Space-Type Abilities
What happened? Actually, it wasn’t a big deal. It was just that the young lady ran away overnight, and the old man arranged the superhuman team to give pursuit, but they hadn't caught up yet...
After listening to the old butler's narration, Shen Yang put his hands on his knees, and hunched his body. He lowered his head and looked at the ground, and said nothing for a long time.
"Eldest Young Master..."
Shen Yang seemed to be a profligate son who took a devil-may-care attitude no matter what troubles he encountered. In the eyes of outsiders, Shen Yang could live such a smooth life only because he had the protection of the Shen family.
No one knew that the Shen family was able to come to power thanks to the guidance of this eldest young master.
He was revealing his gloomy side now. Zheng Li spoke with some fear, not knowing what to say.
"Uncle Zheng." Hearing the old man's frightened voice, the gloom around Shen Yang dissipated. He stood up and stretched himself. " Pei Xiao is finally gone. The weather is nice today. I'll go out for a walk."
"Eldest Young Master..."
"Where’s Grandpa now? In the office at the military command building?"
"Yes."
"I'll go find him." The young man let out a long breath, and his smile returned to its usual flamboyant style. "Uncle Zheng, go ahead. Don't worry about me."
……
In the military command building, Shen Lang’s face turned pale and livid as he listened to Luo Rui's report. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and swept the teacup beside him to the ground.
"Useless fools!" The old man coughed hard and cursed, "You guys can't even catch a little girl. What's the point of keeping you guys?!"
This was the first time he expressed anger to her after she started working for the old man. Luo Rui lowered her head and said in a deep voice, "I’ve arranged for people to go out and search. Following the route to Beihe City, we will be able to catch her..."
"Is that what you think?" Shen Yang pushed open the office door, holding the door frame with one hand, and said lazily, "I thought you were smart. I'm really disappointed, Luo Rui."
"Yang!" The old man's eyes lit up when he saw his eldest grandson, and his anger dissipated. "You’re here."
Shen Yang had to take 80 percent of the responsibility for Pei Wan'er's death. After knowing the relationship between Pei Xiao and Pei Wan'er, every time Pei Xiao came to visit Xiling Base, Shen Yang would tactfully hide in the basement.
This time, because Shen Yang wasn’t here, Shen Lang felt that everything wasn’t going well.
He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Shen Yang. "Come here and listen to what happened recently."
"I already know, Grandpa." Shen Yang walked to the seat next to the old man and sat down. He looked at the girl coldly, and said to Shen Lang meaningfully, "Grandpa, you don't really think that you can catch up with Ranran if you chase her now, do you?"
Of course they couldn't catch up.
Shen Lang knew it, so when Luo Rui made this suggestion, his anger rose instead of being appeased.
He had thought that this girl was smart and capable, but after this episode, he realized that she was still too inexperienced and couldn’t shoulder such a heavy responsibility.
Waving his hand impatiently to ask Luo Rui to leave, Shen Lang looked at Shen Yang and said in a deep voice, "In your opinion, what should we do next?"
Shen Yang laughed. "Let them make a fuss. We'll just stand by and watch."
"What?" Shen Lang blurted out, "At this point, how can we just stand by and watch?"
Jiang Ranran knew all the truth. Whether Chu Yuan was dead or not, they would be implicated.
Stand by and watch? Impossible.
"Why can’t we?" Shen Yang said slowly, "The people who plotted against Chu Yuan and chased Ranran are all Wei Yage's people. They have nothing to do with our Shen family. We don't know about it."
"But..." The old man suddenly understood.
Indeed, the Shen family had not taken any direct action so far. If Jiang Ranran and the others really wanted to pursue the matter, they could put the blame on Wei Yage .
However, Wei Yage worked for them. Wasn't this tantamount to pushing Wei Yage out to die?
"Of course, this is the worst-case scenario." Shen Yang said, "Grandpa, don't be anxious. Call back the people who were sent to hunt down Ranran, and don't expose our strength at will. We can play it by ear afterwards."
"...Sigh." The old man sighed. "I guess this is the only way we can do it."
That fool Luo Rui arranged for people to hunt down Jiang Ranran. Wasn't that equivalent to exposing all the forces cultivated by their Shen family under the enemy's nose?
Gu Yunqing and Su Qin were still in the base. They weren’t blind.
Thinking of this, the old man's dissatisfaction with Luo Rui suddenly reached a new level.
……
Not far ahead was the highway toll gate leading into Yancheng City.
The convoy stopped in front of the toll gate. Shen Bai looked at the neat rows of zombies standing on both sides of the road in silence.
"Is that guy welcoming us?" Zhong Qian pushed his glasses and looked at Si Xu. "Professor Si, that person knows we’re here."
Si Xu yawned and nodded. "Yeah, I saw it."
He pushed open the car door and got out.
"Moshi moshi~ Guys, welcome to Yancheng." A gentle male voice said words of welcome through the toll station's broadcast, "I’m Qin Huai. Everyone, it’s been a while."
Si Xu looked coldly in the direction of the toll station and walked forward.
A gust of wind blew by, blowing up the sand on the ground and lifting the hem of his windbreaker, but he didn’t hesitate in his steps in the slightest.
Behind him, no one in the neatly-organized convoy spoke.
In front of him, a line of zombies emitting foul smells stood straight, as if welcoming him.
On the radio broadcast, the voice continued.
"The fact that you’re here means that you’ve received the gifts I gave you last time. If you like them, I’ll feel very honored."
Gifts? Oh, he got the zombies to throw the heads of the reconnaissance team members back to Xiling base.
In the superhuman team, some people gritted their teeth in anger, while others angrily cursed Qin Huai.
Si Xu remained unmoved and continued walking forward.
The zombies all turned around and headed towards Si Xu.
“As the person in charge of Yancheng, I’m very happy to present gifts to these guests who have come from afar. Everyone, I wish you a happy time in Yancheng.”
After the gentle voice fell, the zombies that seemed to have been cast under a spell of immobilization suddenly moved.
They leaped over the toll station, moving as nimbly and agilely as black panthers hunting their prey, and pounced towards the convoy in unison.
Feeling the fluctuation of superpowers, Zhong Qian frowned and said, "They are mutant zombies. Everyone, get ready to fight!"
The zombies rushed towards them.
Si Xu stopped.
After a moment of silence, a series of shrill buzzing sounds rang out in the air.
Starting from where the man was standing, the space underwent subtle changes. Everything within sight, be it the zombies rushing over or the green plants swaying in the breeze, all fell into a twisted pause and couldn’t move.
"Crack", "crack", "crack".
Tiny breaking sounds were heard one after another.
The frozen bodies of the zombies were twisted into strange shapes and were blown to both sides of the road, along with the toll station at the intersection and various vehicles parked on the road gathering dust.
The man continued walking forward.
"Boom!"
The surrounding buildings could not withstand the fluctuations of superpowers and collapsed.
The air was filled with dust.
"Cough, cough!" The members of the superhuman team covered their faces and coughed because of the dust.
Zhong Qian waved his hands to block the dust and debris, squinting his eyes to look ahead.
As if being pushed away by an invisible hand, the flying dust made way for the young man's tall figure.
Si Xu didn’t stop.
The white shadow quickly disappeared in the gray dust.
"Is this..." Zhong Qian coughed and muttered, "the combat power of high-level space abilities?"
