Chapter 1060 The Out-of-Control Superpowered Individual
Ye Wanxi and the others were on high alert because of Wu Yequan's resurrection, seeing danger everywhere.
However, Xiao Jihui, who was caught in a whirlwind of official duties at the time, was even more overwhelmed than them. As early as when Ye Wanxi and others reminded them that something big might happen on the night of the Ghost Festival, he had already prepared himself and did his best to keep the situation under control to the extent that the losses were minimal.
However, he ultimately underestimated the destructive power of that night. Thanks to the prior notice, the casualties were indeed kept to a minimum, but because these people ran around, they became easy targets, and several large ghost domains appeared all over the country.
This thing doesn't just disappear on its own when the person inside dies.
While ordering a curfew to be imposed around the Ghost Domain to prevent ordinary people from accidentally wandering in and causing unnecessary casualties, Xiao Jihui also begged and pleaded with everyone to clean up the mess.
Fortunately, thanks to Li Jiaming's live broadcast, the casualties caused on the night of the Ghost Festival did not require much effort to cover up, and the subsequent handling also occupied the high ground in public opinion. There was no need to worry about being falsely accused and causing some negative news, which saved Xiao Jihui a lot of trouble.
However, the news about Wu Yequan that Feng Tianyu and the others brought him still made Xiao Jihui panic for a while.
The nerves that had finally relaxed tightened up again.
But what Xiao Jihui never expected was that before this suddenly appearing and terrifying enemy could cause any more trouble, another thing happened that gave him a huge headache.
“Miss Ye, I know it’s really inappropriate to bother you at this time, but I really have no other choice. Several foreign superhumans have appeared in D City, using their abilities to attack ordinary people, causing quite a few injuries and deaths…”
Ye Wanxi was already somewhat surprised to receive a call from Xiao Jihui, and she was even more taken aback when she heard what he said.
"Superpowered individuals from abroad? How did they get in? Can't the patrol teams in D City handle them?"
"Who knows how they got in!" Xiao Jihui couldn't help but get angry when he heard this.
Since the emergence of mutated plants and animals as well as mutated individuals with supernatural abilities, the country has strictly restricted the entry of foreign populations, especially those with supernatural abilities, who have become the focus of strict investigation and surveillance.
But just half an hour ago, Xiao Jihui received feedback from customs that there was no record of these people being inspected at all; it was as if these people had appeared out of thin air!
Xiao Jihui didn't know which link in the chain went wrong, but he knew that once it was found out, someone would definitely have to take responsibility for this.
But now is not the time to discuss this.
"These superpowered individuals are probably well-prepared. There are six of them in total: one can manipulate fire, one can generate electricity, and another can control mutated plants and animals for their own use..."
Ye Wanxi narrowed her eyes, as if sensing something: "The patrol team is no match for them?"
"Um."
"Even the higher-ups can't do anything about them?"
"One of them has an exceptionally powerful defensive ability; he can materialize an alloy that is impervious to blades and bullets."
With so many people with superpowers in the country, there's bound to be someone who can deal with these people, but the more powerful ones are all quite far from City D these days.
Distant water cannot quench a nearby fire. Even if they rush over now, the longer the delay, the greater the casualties. Only they are right next to D City, not far away, and with Qi Yingxuan's help, Ye Wanxi can go over to help immediately if she is willing.
After weighing the options, Xiao Jihui had no choice but to swallow his pride and ask Ye Wanxi for help.
After listening to her explanation, Ye Wanxi roughly understood the situation there.
City D is located next to City A. Although it is not as prosperous as City A, City D is larger in area and has a population several times that of City A.
These people sneaked into D City unnoticed, and may have even chosen to cause trouble in areas with high foot traffic. There were many innocent civilians around, and the patrol team was hesitant to act because they couldn't defeat them and were concerned about the safety of ordinary people.
While loading bullets, one can still aim at them. If a larger weapon is used, it might be able to harm them, but there's no guarantee that it won't accidentally injure people around them.
These guys probably see this as their advantage, which is why they act so recklessly.
Having figured this out, Ye Wanxi's expression darkened slightly, and she said coldly, "Send me the specific address."
Xiao Jihui was overjoyed to see that Ye Wanxi was willing to help, and immediately sent her the address.
In a large shopping mall in City D, hundreds of people hid in various corners of the mall, afraid to go out.
Ye Xiumei huddled in the dressing room of a clothing store, shivering. An hour earlier, she had brought her child to the mall to buy some new clothes.
Who would have thought that as soon as she led her child into the fitting room, she heard a loud crash of shattering glass outside, followed by screams from a group of people.
Ye Xiumei was startled and instinctively wanted to take the child out to see what was going on.
As soon as the door was opened a crack, someone was violently thrown into the store, leaving a trail of blood on the ground, lying there, their life hanging in the balance.
Not far from the store, a gray-haired foreign boy was manipulating mutated plants to hurt people everywhere.
Ye Xiumei's face turned pale instantly. She hurriedly closed the door, covered her daughter's mouth, and led her to a corner of the dressing room. The mother and daughter huddled together, not daring to move an inch.
For the next hour, Ye Xiumei kept hearing various sounds of things falling to the ground outside, as well as screams of varying pitches coming from somewhere.
The child in her arms was already crying so hard that his collar was soaked, but she covered his mouth tightly, not daring to make a sound.
An hour felt like a lifetime to the two of them.
Finally, the noise outside gradually subsided. Ye Xiumei moved her long-numbed legs, took her daughter's hand, and tried to open the fitting room door a crack.
She secretly checked the outside as before, but she never expected that her movement would bring her face to face with the cold eyes of a girl standing outside the door.
Suddenly, the girl's lips curled into a strange smile, and she said in a foreign language that Ye Xiumei could understand: "Look, there are two little mice here."
Ye Xiumei felt a chill run down her spine and instinctively locked the locker room door, hoping to keep these terrifying people out.
Unexpectedly, the next second, a powerful pressure suddenly came from outside the door.
With a loud bang, the door was smashed open, and the mother and son inside were thrown backward by the impact, crashing into the wall behind them.
Ye Xiumei held her daughter tightly in her arms with all her might and slowly slid down the wall. She felt as if her internal organs had shifted because of the impact.
But that's not the most despairing thing...
