King of North Africa

North Africa is located in the southwest of China, sandwiched between China and Australia and America.

After flying for seven or eight hours, the White Eagles arrived over the North African border.

When the plane hovered over Miluo, the capital of North Africa, they saw something very different from what they expected.

"Captain Ling, look quickly." Zuo Hao leaned over the porthole. "There are so many people down there. Is this a country that survived like Australia and America?"

Ling Shi was looking down carefully.

From this height, you can clearly see the tall buildings, streets and alleys on the ground, as well as the people coming and going on the streets.

But this place is obviously different from Australia and America.

The streets were dilapidated and dirty. It was almost dusk, but there were only a few lights on. The whole city looked very strange.

Makino's voice came from the captain's cabin: "The plane is about to land on the lawn of the city center park. Please prepare to disembark."

Everyone took their equipment and got off the plane in an orderly manner.

Zuo Hao shouted, "Maybe there's a store here too, and we can buy some North African specialties."

The White Eagles crossed the lawn, walked out of the park gate and came into the street.

When they saw the people coming and going, everyone seemed to be under a spell, standing there in a daze, unable to move for a long time.

It wasn't until several "people" began to pay attention to them that Lu Tingxiao waved his hand and said, "Retreat."

Everyone began to retreat towards the park they came from.

"Fuck... Shit..." Zuo Hao's voice trembled. "I thought it was just people coming and going, but it turned out to be a group of gay people coming and going... What the hell is going on?"

Throughout the streets, the rotten people walked in groups of two or three, just like ordinary people. However, their eyes were empty, and their steps were stiff. A closer look revealed a distinct difference. But they were also different from the rotten people in other cities. While other rotten people scattered freely and haphazardly like monsters, these people displayed a strange order.

It's like... a puppet controlled by some kind of will.

"Captain Lu, look..." Ling Shi looked at those corrupt people: "Do they look like..."

"Similar," Lu Tingxiao replied, "It's exactly the same as my ability to control corrupted people. But I can't achieve such large-scale and detailed control."

Just then, a buzzing sound of a loudspeaker came from somewhere, as if someone was adjusting the loudspeaker.

A few seconds later, a man's voice came from the loudspeaker, with great arrogance and arrogance: "Hey, a guest is coming."

"Road Team," Ma Minghong pointed to a roof in the front left corner, "The loudspeaker is over there."

Everyone looked in that direction and listened carefully, and the sound was indeed coming from there.

"Since you're here," the man on the loudspeaker drawled casually, "come sit with me. Someone will show you the way."

As these words fell, the corrupt people around them all turned their heads, stopped, and rushed towards them.

The group of corrupt officials, numbering more than a hundred people, blocked the roads in all four directions.

"Behave yourself," the man said through the loudspeaker. "Don't fight. I won't hurt you for now."

The group of corrupt people made a path in the southwest direction. A corrupt person who looked quite clean stood in front of them, looking at them sideways, as if waiting for them to move forward.

Ling Shi looked at Lu Tingxiao, who said, "I'm curious too. Let's go and take a look."

He took a step forward, and the corrupt man in front of him took the lead.

The White Eagles followed suit.

The rest of the corrupt people stayed where they were and did not move.

As they walked along, the White Eagle team found out why those corrupt people did not take any action.

Looking around, there are corrupt figures everywhere.

Some are actually working hard to move things, just like the office workers who move bricks every day.

Ling Shi leaned close to Lu Tingxiao's ear and asked, "What do you think?"

Lu Tingxiao smiled: "If it's as I thought, this person is terrifyingly strong."

Ling Shi also smiled and patted Lu Tingxiao on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid. Brother has you covered."

Lu Tingxiao glanced sideways, giving Ling Shi a meaningful look: "What did you call me?"

"Brother." Ling Shi blurted out, then reacted and finished the last word in time, glaring at Lu Tingxiao.

Lu Tingxiao laughed silently for a long time.

The whole team followed the corrupt person in front for about a kilometer before arriving at an independent villa.

The main structure of the villa was constructed of light-colored natural stone, its exterior covered in dark green creepers and withered yellow vines. The main entrance consisted of two heavy carved oak doors, one of which was slightly ajar, revealing a dim hall within.

Standing at the door was a spirited man in his twenties. His hair was shoulder-length and naturally curly, a color between dark brown and black, and he had an artistic temperament.

"Welcome." The man held out his hands and smiled at them. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Ji Ding, and I'm Chinese. I never thought I'd see so many Chinese people at once in my lifetime."

The White Eagles stopped five or six meters in front of him and did not move forward.

Lu Tingxiao looked at the man for a few seconds and suddenly said, "I've seen you."

Ji Ding raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

This word contained genuine surprise, which was much more sincere than the hypocritical welcome just now.

"You used to be a reporter in Country M." Lu Tingxiao's tone was a statement, not a question. "Entertainment magazine section. One time, I was chasing gossip about a councilman from Country M, and I even tracked him down to the city hall."

Ji Ding was stunned for a moment, his expression frozen for a moment before he said, "I just introduced myself, now it's your turn."

Lu Tingxiao didn't hide it: "We are the White Eagle Team from the Huaguo base, and we are here to search for the remains of the dragon horn."

He thought for a moment and asked, "Did you participate in human experiments back then?"

Ji Ding was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "So direct?"

He nodded. "I participated, just like you. But I'm better than you."

This time, Lu Tingxiao confirmed Ji Ding's method of controlling the corrupt people.

Moreover, as he himself said... Ji Ding is too powerful now. It seems that the Nether Cells injected into him at the beginning far exceed his.

"What level are you now?"

"What level?" Ji Ding was confused for a moment, then immediately understood: "That's the standard you humans use to classify strength, right?"

He raised his hands to the left and right. "I don't know my own rank. No one here has told me that. But all the corrupt people in this city obey my orders. Now, I am the king of North Africa."

"The King of North Africa?" Lu Tingxiao sneered, "He's seriously ill in the head."

Ji Ding was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Yes, I am indeed very ill."

He gestured towards the numerous corrupted people around him and said, "When you experience complete control over another species, you'll begin to doubt the rules of the past. In the eyes of the world, this is probably considered sickness."

Lu Tingxiao wanted to retort, but Ling Shi pulled him back and stopped him.

Ling Shi looked at Ji Ding and asked, "Do you know where the remains of the dragon horn are?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Ji Ding's eyes finally fell on his face.

His eyes were originally careless, but the moment he saw Ling Shi, surprise, admiration, and unconcealable appreciation were revealed in his eyes, and even his playful expression became serious.

"Who are you......"

Ling Shi was stunned for a moment, but still answered: "My last name is Ling, and I'm the vice-captain of the White Eagle Team."

Ji Ding stared at his face, motionless, until Ling Shi began to frown, then he reacted: "Oh, Captain Ling, nice to meet you, nice to meet you. What did you just say?"

"Dragon Horn." Ling Shi was a little unhappy, but he still answered under control.

He still held Lu Tingxiao tightly in his hand, fearing that this man would rush up to fight if they disagreed.

"Dragon...horn..." Ji Ding muttered these two words and smiled: "Such an important thing, of course I have to hide it well."

"But there's no reason for me to tell you the location."

He tilted his head, his eyes wandering over Ling Shi: "How about... you stay with me for a while, and I'll tell you. How about it?"

Before Ling Shi could even complain, Lu Tingxiao beside him had already shaken him off, rushed over, and kicked Ji Ding in the chest.

Ji Ding moved sideways and barely made way.

His face suddenly darkened and a whistle-like sound came out of his mouth.

In every corner of the street, behind the villas, and from all directions, there were endless corrupt people, rushing towards them.

They made strange sounds, some hoarse and some sharp, and stretched out their sharp claws towards everyone.

Lu Tingxiao stood where he was and did not continue to chase Ji Ding.

He flipped his hands, and the gray vortex, which was more than five or six times larger than before, began to spin wildly.

All the corrupt people paused and stopped where they were.

Although they were still screaming and waving their claws, they did not move forward.

"Wow!" Ji Ding was really surprised. "You are quite strong."

He was no longer as relaxed as before. Like Lu Tingxiao, he stretched out his hands, held them flat on both sides, and spread his fingers slightly apart.

In just a moment, two black mushroom clouds with a diameter of more than half a meter emerged from his palms, and the clouds continued to surge and roll.

The corrupt officials around them took two steps forward and moved closer to the White Eagle team.

Everyone could see that Ji Ding and Lu Tingxiao were competing to see how much they could control the corrupted people.

Unfortunately, Ji Ding is even worse.

Ji Ding smiled softly and said to Lu Tingxiao, "Is this all you're capable of, Ambassador Lu? Back in Country M, I heard a lot about your glorious history of single-handedly taking on a bunch of old men there. You were so majestic back then. Compared to you, I'm just a pile of mud you can trample on at will. What's wrong now? Ambassador Lu can't even handle a pile of mud like me?"

Lu Tingxiao didn't say a word, and used his greatest willpower to fight for control over the corrupt man.

He never thought that he would be so powerless even after reaching the third level.

Seeing the corrupt people approaching the White Eagle team members step by step, he almost wanted to give up control and rush forward to kill Ji Ding physically.

No matter how strong your control is! I'll beat you to pieces and see if you can still be stubborn!

"Who said we can't handle it?" Ling Shi's calm voice echoed at this moment. He, like the others, raised his hands to his sides. Two smaller gray vortices rose in his palms, whirring.

All the corrupted people stopped in their tracks stiffly, as if their joints were stuck, and slowly lifted their feet, actually retreating backwards!

Ji Ding's face turned pale instantly!

"You... who are you?! How could you possibly..."

"He's mine." Lu Tingxiao's heart suddenly relaxed, his chest swollen with pride and joy. "You've been hiding in this desolate North Africa for so long, you have no idea what the outside world is like, right? Wang? Haha, the frog in the well in the elementary school textbook is talking about you."

Ling Shi was definitely not feeling relaxed at this moment. Although he had practiced many times at the base and was much stronger than when he first received the grafting, he still couldn't use it as smoothly as his own purification ability.

He looked at Lu Tingxiao's smug expression and suddenly felt that this man was childish and a little cute.

At this moment, a figure flashed by, and Xiang Chongyi was already beside Ji Ding, holding the dagger to his neck: "Your control is pretty good, I wonder how your defense is?"

Ji Ding quickly put away the mushroom cloud in his palm and smiled brightly at Xiang Chongyi: "We're one family, why be so formal? Put it away quickly, this thing looks sharp."

Ling Shi was speechless when he saw how easily he changed his expression, from a powerful and dominant person to a scoundrel with a grin on his face.

Only then did he think of the "entertainment section" that Lu Tingxiao mentioned. It turned out to be a paparazzi who was flexible and changeable.

"Where are the remains of the dragon horn in North Africa?" Ling Shi asked him. "Tell us, and we won't hurt you."

Ji Ding frowned in embarrassment and said, "That place is a bit secret. Even if I tell you, I'm afraid it won't be easy for you to get it."

Lu Tingxiao walked over and patted Ling Shi on the shoulder: "Let's go, this liar doesn't tell the truth."

Ling Shi nodded: "Xiang Chongyi, let him go. Let's go."

The remains of the dragon's horn from North Africa are now lying in the Chinese base.

If Ji Ding really knew the whereabouts of the dragon horn bones, he should know that they were looking for the part in Country M.
