But when they ran outside, everyone was stunned. It wasn't Jiang Xiaoxin who was injured at all!
She was a tiny little thing, jumping and laughing in the open space, occasionally letting out a sharp scream.
Before her stood ten mutated rose plants, each over a meter tall, forming a circle and occasionally attacking the void. It was clear that something was trying to break free from their encirclement.
When Cheng Zhen saw that the little girl was alright, he first breathed a sigh of relief, then his gaze fell on the mutated roses and his expression changed drastically.
Although it was invisible, screams came from the middle. It was a person, but he was obviously not very strong. He was stung and could not withstand the attacks from the mutated rose after only a few blows.
This is clearly a superhuman with the ability to become invisible, because Cheng Zhen has just replicated this skill.
He gathered his energy in his hands, intending to knock him down, but then changed his mind and used iron swords instead. The two iron swords pierced the void in the air, and the man was so frightened that his legs went weak and he screamed repeatedly.
"Aren't you going to show yourself? If you keep playing tricks, I'll kill you with one sword."
As he spoke, he wielded the iron sword and charged straight toward the center. The man cried out and finally deactivated his invisibility ability, revealing his true appearance as a teenage boy.
It looks very thin and weak, and indeed has little fighting ability. Its skin is smooth and its flesh is soft. Before the oxygen-deficient apocalypse, it was probably the family's beloved treasure, who could not lift a finger.
No wonder it was so scared when it encountered the mutated rose. It immediately showed itself and surrendered when threatened by Cheng Zhen's iron sword.
"Were the six people here arrested by you?" Cheng Zhen asked.
He did not remove the iron sword; it remained suspended above his head.
If he lies, Cheng Zhen will immediately kill him.
The little boy trembled with fear: "Yes, yes, but...it was them who made me do this! They threatened me to do this. If I didn't come, they would kill my parents and eat my younger siblings."
"Holy crap, this is insane!"
Yu Fen couldn't help but complain, and everyone around him who heard it couldn't help but frown.
They had fled all the way here, enduring countless hardships. Sometimes they were separated from Jiang Wan and had no food to eat, and had to endure hunger. But they never thought that one day they would have to eat human flesh to fill their stomachs!
Is this guy even human?!
"Where were they all taken?" Cheng Zhen asked coldly.
"Inside the city, my job was just to get them in. Once they were inside, I had no idea where they went."
The little boy had heard of Cheng Zhen's prowess and knew he was extremely fierce. Even when pointed at with an iron sword, he was terrified before Cheng Zhen could do anything, answering every question, even those not asked.
"This is not easy. Zhusha City is so big, it's not easy to find people." Cheng Zhen said to Long Wanzhi, unable to help but feel irritable, his temper rising in layers.
“I’m worried they’re in grave danger,” Long Wanzhi said. “Without the consent of the superhumans, no one can take things out of the space, but what if those people use torture…”
Those six people are just space-type ability users; they don't have much combat power, and they probably won't last long.
At that time, they will not only lose supplies, but also six of their own brothers.
"Damn it!" Cheng Zhen unleashed a powerful beam of light at the ground, instantly creating a large crater.
But then he laughed.
This is an opportunity that has come knocking on his door! He was just worried about not having a legitimate reason to launch his attack!
So he ordered Yu Fen and the others, "Tie him up."
Then they headed straight for the city gate of Zhusha City. With their leader as their witness, Yu Fen and the others acted with abandon. When they reached the bottom of the city gate of Zhusha City, they started shouting and yelling at the top of their lungs.
Then they brought out this invisible superhuman again.
"I'll give you ten days to consider. If you don't open the city gates by the time it's up, I'll cripple him."
There are few superhumans in Vermilion City, so why would they be willing to lose their few superhumans?
Although invisibility ability users may not have much combat power, they can be very useful in actual combat.
Sure enough, they had only counted to five when the heavy city gates of Vermilion City began to hiss and rattle as they started up.
A moment later, the city gate was opened, and the guards respectfully welcomed them in: "Our city lord said that City Lord Cheng can enter alone."
Cheng Zhen gave him a look, and Yu Fen immediately kicked him: "Get lost."
"Our city lord can bring as many people as he wants, you have a problem with that? Come on, let's fight!"
Yu Fen was incredibly arrogant at this moment, and not only him, but the others who came with him were equally arrogant. Except for Cheng Zhen, who was full of murderous aura and had an unfathomable expression.
He walked straight in, ignoring the commotion behind him, and asked the soldiers guarding the city gate, "Where is your city lord?"
With such a murderous commotion, how could he possibly say where the city lord was?
The soldier pursed his lips and shook his head, but before he could speak, Cheng Zhen held an iron sword to his neck: "You can choose not to speak, then never speak again."
As he spoke, he began to exert force. The guard guarding the city clearly felt a chill on his neck, against his artery. If he exerted even a little more force, he would surely die!
Overwhelmed by fear, he blurted out, "I said, I said the city lord and the others are in the city center. There's an underground air-raid shelter over there, and they're hiding... I mean, they're all living in there."
Cheng Zhen gave him a slight push: "You lead the way."
The city guards were on the verge of tears. Couldn't he just leave without them?
The answer is naturally no.
As they walked further in, Cheng Zhen and Long Wanzhi unconsciously exchanged a glance. The barrier they had sensed last night was only underground, and there was nothing unusual about it from the surface. Therefore, the special feature of the city was underground.
"This is it. I can't go any further."
After walking for a while, the city guards refused to go any further and kept retreating.
Cheng Zhen didn't make things difficult for him, because he had already seen Jiang Ling lead people out, all of whom were holding guns and pointing them at them.
He released the man, ordered his men to form an attack formation, and then, in full view of everyone, opened a portal to space and time, intending to drag Zhang Hao out.
However, when the portal opened, it was completely empty; there was no sign of Zhang Hao at all.
But the portal wasn't a black hole, so he was certain Zhang Hao was there. He glanced at the invisible ability user beside him and understood.
He looked at Jiang Ling and said with extreme sarcasm, "So your Lord Zhang is a coward after all."
Jiang Ling twitched the corner of her mouth: "Lord Cheng, how have you been? What brings you here with such a grand entrance today?"
Our city lord sincerely invited you to have a meal. We can discuss anything over dinner.
"But isn't that a bit too disrespectful of you?"
