Chapter 47: Splitting Up
“But everyone is dead, won’t others still focus their attention on Sang Sang?”
Sang Jing Wen: “Xiao Xue, if we kill everyone, who will know if they are alive or dead?”
Lu Min Feng: “Brother Wen is right. As long as we don’t let anyone go, the news will be whatever we say it is. Initially, supernatural ability users from nearby will come looking, but once they realize they can’t win, they’ll leave to find Zhao Feng, who is already dead.”
After hearing their words, Mu Xue still felt a bit worried: “But if they can’t find Zhao Feng, won’t they still come to trouble us?”
Sang Jing Wen: “They will, but they’ll be much more wary. Unless they can find a way to kill a Flood Dragon, they won’t dare to come knocking. Those supernatural ability users who came to besiege us are a prime example.”
Mu Xue suddenly realized: “Oh, I get it, it’s like killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, right!”
Sang Chu: “That’s right, it’s killing the chicken to scare the monkeys. I’ll set up some traps and cages nearby. I started thinking about this when Brother Yi mentioned his supernatural ability couldn’t break through the protective shield set up by the house building machine. The monsters in the Monster Transformation World are very powerful, but if this house building machine can survive in the wilderness, then using its special materials to build cages should make it difficult for ordinary supernatural ability users to break free.”
Lu Min Feng: “Then let’s do that. Brother Yi, Brother Jing Wen, and I will take two hovercars out, and the Flood Dragon will follow us. A Chu and Mu Xue will stay behind.”
As he spoke, Lu Min Feng glanced at Sang Chu. Seeing her nod slightly, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He wanted to take this opportunity to have Sang Chu test Xiao Yi Fei’s mother. If there was a problem, it was best to deal with it as soon as possible.
If the base were in danger, he wouldn’t be able to leave the base to find his family.
The group split up and acted.
Mu Xue looked at Sang Chu, always feeling that she and Lu Min Feng were acting strangely. So after Lu Min Feng and the others left, Mu Xue linked arms with Sang Chu.
“Sang Xiao Chu, you’re not allowed to lie to me! Tell me honestly, do you and Lu Min Feng have some plan you haven’t told me about! I saw you two exchanging glances!”
Sang Chu looked around and led her towards the houses in the underground city.
“Lu Min Feng suspects there’s something wrong with Brother Yi’s mother, and I’m a bit worried too. Her supernatural ability is outrageously high. Look at how many good things we’ve obtained. Lu Min Feng and I used so much Spirit Stone Jade just to barely reach Level Four, yet Brother Yi’s mother can control a Level Four supernatural ability user.”
“No way!”
Although Lu Min Feng had said before that supernatural abilities were fine as long as they worked, ever since Sang Chu had them cultivate their mental power, he hadn’t dared to stop for a moment. He was just a bit hesitant to use the Spirit Stone Jade that Sang Chu left behind.
When he learned that Zombie Crystal Cores could be used for cultivation, he went on a mad hunt for zombies to collect Crystal Cores for cultivation. Even with all that, he had only just managed to touch the threshold of Level Four.
But how could Brother Yi’s mother control a Level Four supernatural ability user without any resources?
Mu Xue: “So what do we do now?”
No wonder Lu Min Feng suspected Brother Yi’s mother!
After hearing Sang Chu’s analysis, she was starting to suspect too!
“Don’t worry. Since Lu Min Feng chose to bring her back, it means he just finds her suspicious, not that he believes Brother Yi’s mother is definitely problematic. So, he wants to use this opportunity to have Brother Yi leave, giving me some room to operate. Never mind her, let’s look around the underground city first. After the plan is over, I’ll buy a train ticket to the Otherworld. For now, let’s see what we need.”
“Mhm, okay.”
Zhao Feng’s Base
“Boss, does this woman look like Sang Chu to you?”
A thin supernatural ability user walked up to Zhao Feng with a portrait. He glanced at it and frowned slightly: “How would I know what Sang Chu looks like? Where did this Thing come from!”
Zhu He leaned in to take a look: “Boss, this really seems to be Sang Chu. She’s not particularly attractive, so you might not remember her.”
Zhao Feng looked at it carefully again, still unable to recognize her: “Why are you showing me a picture of this ugly monster!”
“Boss, do you know about the incident where New City’s base was blown up?”
Zhao Feng nodded: “Yes.”
Zhu Ling held the portrait, a lewd smile on his face: “Boss, this portrait of Sang Chu came from New City. They say she has flying vehicles and many new weapons. More importantly, she took the latest research results from that high-level supernatural ability user Doctor when she left New City.”
Zhao Feng: “Are you sure?”
Zhu Mao: “Boss, this is true. It’s already spread throughout the various bases. They say the Doctor is offering a bounty for Sang Chu everywhere, with a reward of one hundred Crystal Cores.”
Zhao Feng’s eyes widened when he heard this: “One hundred Crystal Cores? Do they even have that many Crystal Cores?”
Zhu Ling: “Boss, never mind whether they have them or not. The important thing is what Sang Chu has.”
Zhu Mao: “Right, right, right. Sang Chu came from our base, so her things should belong to us. If we can control all these things, we won’t have to hide in this small place anymore!”
Zhu Ling: “Exactly, Boss. Think about it, the things Sang Chu has were able to destroy New City, which means they are effective even against high-level supernatural ability users. But they might not be effective against us. If we can get them, do we still need to hide like this, afraid to go out?”
The three of them were supernatural ability users mutated from zombies. They were afraid to leave the base, and even sealed it off, not allowing anyone to enter easily, for fear of their special nature being discovered.
Zhao Feng was silent for a moment: “Do you know where Sang Chu is now?”
Zhu Mao: “Big Brother, Sang Chu and Lin Mu Xue are both from Hai Shi. They might be in Hai Shi. Although we are far from Hai Shi, it’s not a problem for us.”
Looking at Zhu Mao, Zhao Feng had a plan: “Alright, you go gather our people. Leave the second in command to watch the base. The rest of us will immediately head to Hai Shi. Once we find Sang Chu and the others, control them immediately and snatch all their things!”
“Got it, Boss, I’ll go now!”
Zhu Mao and Zhu Ling ran out excitedly. Zhao Feng touched the Thing between his legs that Lin Mu Xue had stomped and exploded, a sinister smile on his face:
“Little beauty, when I catch you, I’ll show you that even without my precious Thing, I can make your life worse than death.”
Lu Min Feng and Sang Jing Wen, hiding in the shadows, heard his words and exchanged glances. Xiao Yi Fei looked at Lu Min Feng in astonishment.
He saw Lu Min Feng give an embarrassed smile and silently mouth: He wanted to bully Mu Xue, but it exploded.
Sang Jing Wen and Xiao Yi Fei trembled all over. The wording made it sound incredibly painful.
Lu Min Feng: What do we do now?
Sang Jing Wen looked at Zhao Feng and made a series of operations on his optical computer: I’ll contact Sang Sang first. Zhao Feng and the others should have some means to get to Hai Shi quickly, so tell her to be on high alert. We’ll head back immediately too.
Sang Chu, who had received the message, was standing on a mountain top watching the house building machine construct houses.
Mu Xue: “Sang Sang, what’s wrong?”
“My brother said Zhao Feng is problematic and told us to be on high alert. Where’s Grandma?”
Mentioning this, Mu Xue couldn’t help but laugh: “Grandma is feeding the little rabbit. She said the little rabbit is too thin and wants to help fatten it up for you.”
Sang Chu laughed: “What, Grandma wants to fatten up the rabbit to be my reserve food!”
“Can’t say for sure.”
