Chapter 87 Underestimating Them
A battle outside is also imminent.
In the island's control room sat a strange man with half his face covered in black scales. His body looked like that of a beast, and being stared at by him felt like being watched by a venomous snake.
“Sui Cheng, and…” His hoarse voice echoed in the empty control room as his gaze shifted from Sui Cheng on the monitor screen to the lawyer beside him.
“A person who is completely dead, hahahaha!” He suddenly let out a chilling laugh, his fingers stroking the scales on his face. “How interesting, how very interesting, how can a person who is completely dead come back to life?”
He pressed a button, and after a hissing sound of electricity, a cold female voice came through: "What is it?"
"Someone has broken in. I need you to catch two people."
The woman said, "Wasn't it just one? How did it become two?"
"I've sent you pictures of both of them. I want them alive, so don't be too rough." The man ignored her question and sent the woman screenshots of the passenger and the lawyer from the surveillance footage.
"good."
After receiving the pictures, they lost contact with him.
Meanwhile, Suicheng and his group had successfully broken out of District Twelve.
There were quite a few bullets fired at them, but Tan Qingjia's superpower blocked most of them.
She directly created several mental shields on their own people, which could at least prevent sneak attacks.
"Thunder Net".
A crackling sound rang out, but the people were prepared, all wearing insulated suits.
"Bang." Sui Cheng clenched his fist, and the lightning net exploded. Although it didn't kill the people directly, it still paralyzed them on the ground.
The lawyer randomly picked someone and stepped on their foot, sneering, "What a piece of trash! You really think you're safe just because you're wearing an insulated suit?"
"Zhi"
They reached the outermost edge of the controlled area, where a group of guards, fully clothed and armed, surrounded them, along with several others followed by controlled mutants.
The air temperature plummeted, and ice formed on the ground. They initially thought it was Sui Cheng who had made a move, but they discovered that the cold was spreading not from Sui Cheng, but from the group of guards surrounding them.
"Watch out." Sui Cheng flicked his hand, and an ice wall instantly appeared in front of them, blocking the silently approaching ice spikes. His ice wall was also shattered by the enormous force.
The ice-type ability user on the other side is very strong; he is the strongest that Sui Cheng has ever seen so far.
Lightning crackled around him, and a lightning serpent charged straight at the crowd.
The guards didn't even flinch; they simply raised their strangely shaped guns and fired them. An energy shield appeared in front of them, blocking the lightning snake.
"Captain Sui is indeed strong, but can you defeat all of us by yourself?" A woman in a long dress walked out from behind the crowd. Her body was covered in ice, and ice flowers formed under her feet with every step she took.
Sui Cheng's expression was solemn. Even from such a distance, he could feel the woman's chilling aura, which was stronger than his ice-type superpower.
His body was tense, lightning gathered in his palms, ready to strike at any moment.
Lu Zhi reached out and put his arm around his waist, patting his side to ease his tension. His deep green eyes gleamed coldly as he looked at the woman and said, "Introduce yourself."
"Oh?" The woman looked at Lu Zhi and immediately recognized him as the second person that the man wanted her to arrest.
Strangely, she could sense the supernatural aura emanating from Lu Zhi, but it was extremely faint, like an ant that could be crushed with one hand. However, when she met his eyes, she felt a powerful sense of oppression.
"Luo Xue, I've been asked to accompany the captain, and you too..." Luo Xue's gaze swept away from Lu Zhi's arm around the attendant, and she said coldly, "Your lover, come and meet him too."
"What a pity. I was also quite interested to see who invited us to this meeting in such a grand manner, but we have other things to do. How about next time?" Lu Zhi rubbed his neck and moved it slightly, his eyes filled with a cold killing intent.
"I'm sorry, you can't leave today." Luo Xue raised her hand, and countless ice spikes condensed in the air, falling down on them with a whoosh.
Tan Qingjia used his mental power to control the falling speed of those things, and then Zhang Meng threw a punch with force, the air vibrated, and the sound wave shattered the ice cone.
When they looked at Luo Xue again, he had already appeared in front of the charioteer, holding an ice blade in his hand.
Sui Cheng remained calm, as if she didn't even notice him. Lu Zhi leaned against Sui Cheng with a smile, knowing he wouldn't intervene unless Sui Cheng was in danger.
"What?" Luo Xue's movements froze, as if she were being controlled. The tip of the knife was still more than ten centimeters away from Sui Cheng, but it could not move forward.
Upon closer inspection, one can see that her entire body is enveloped in lightning as fine as hair. The power of the lightning instantly paralyzes her limbs. She tries to use her supernatural abilities, but discovers that the lightning becomes even stronger whenever she uses them, almost to the point of explosion.
“You are indeed very strong.” Sui Cheng deflected the tip of her knife with his fingers and said coldly, “But you were too careless.”
While Lu Zhi was distracting Luo Xue with his words, he suppressed his lightning power to its minimum and then silently surrounded Luo Xue, subduing her in an instant.
"How is that possible!" Luo Xue's eyes widened. There was no one else but a psychic with such exquisite control over superpowers.
"Do it!" she shouted.
The guards hesitated for a second before launching an attack on the entourage.
Looking at Luo Xue again, she activated all her supernatural abilities, and the lightning she was riding exploded directly, while Luo Xue's body disappeared at the same time.
“Space.” Lu Zhi hugged Sui Cheng’s waist tighter and whispered, “I can feel the fluctuations in space.”
Luo Xue appeared in a safe place with a pale face, looking at her entourage with apprehension. In the end, she had underestimated them.
"Is she a space-related expert?" the attendant asked the law enforcement officer.
Lu Zhi shook his head and said, "No, she relied on other people's power, and she paid a price every time she used it. Her superpower must be exhausted now."
"Alright." Sui Cheng transformed into lightning and disappeared directly from Lu Zhi's arms. Lightning flashed, and the alien creatures they were controlling pounced on Sui Cheng, only to be instantly blasted apart by the lightning on Sui Cheng's body.
"Absolute Zero." Luo Xue took out a can of potion, drank half of it in one gulp, felt her body full of energy, and immediately launched her strongest attack.
The ice spread throughout the entire area, even encasing the buildings. Snowflakes fell from the sky, and anything touched by them would be instantly frozen.
Chen Jiang wore a bitter expression. He didn't even dare to use his superpowers casually, and could only fight the enemy with weapons together with Xu Feng and the others.
Madrid moved the fastest, weaving through the hail of bullets, their figures impossible for the enemy to catch, and kicking away the weapon held by the guard.
Tan Qingjia and Zhang Meng were responsible for protecting Xu Feng and the others.
Lu Zhi looked at the snowflakes that had landed on his arm, shook them off with a look of disgust, and the frozen ice instantly melted away.
That's it?
