Chapter 165 Thunder Element!
The Sky City officials obviously attached great importance to this event and specially dispatched three ace teams, as well as a number of reporters from TV stations, lighting technicians, and photographers. At first glance, it looked like a crew going out to film a movie together, not like Night Hunt at all.
Xing Yuan brought Lu Yan, an unrelated person, here, which was a bit eye-catching at first, but no one noticed him for a while. A group of people were sitting in the aircraft, debugging their equipment.
Luo Yang had sharp eyes and immediately spotted Lu Yan who was sitting next to Xing Yuan: "Captain, you didn't even introduce us to our new brother."
Xing Yuan knew that Luo Yang, the chatterbox, would ask this question. He sat down, lowered his eyes, straightened his sleeves, and did not explain too much: "His name is Lu Yan, and he will follow us on a night hunt later."
Luo Yang scratched his ears when he heard this, a little surprised: "Follow us? That's too dangerous. Wanderers don't have eyes. It would be bad if we accidentally hurt him."
But in my heart I thought Xing Yuan must have lost his mind. He brought someone here in such a situation. When the time comes and he's busy, no one will care about him. If things go wrong, he might even die.
Lu Yan also thought it made sense. Why should he follow Xing Yuan and the others on their mission? He nodded repeatedly, "I have never been to such an occasion before. It would be bad if I cause trouble for you. Why don't I go down?"
Xing Yuan glanced at him and said coldly: "The aircraft is already launched, how are you going to get off? Jump down?"
There's no need for the Wanderer to kill him, he can just throw himself to death.
Lu Yan perfectly demonstrated what a cowardly waste vase is, and hesitantly said, "But fighting and killing is so dangerous."
Xing Yuan was too lazy to even raise his eyelids: "Of course it's dangerous for you to follow them, but if you follow me, you'll be fine."
With his strength, he is more than capable of protecting ten Lu Yans.
It was strange that Xing Yuan clearly used to hate this kind of cowardly and useless person the most, but he for the first time ever patiently comforted Lu Yan with a few words, leaving Luo Yang and Yan Feng stunned.
Is this still the same Xing Yuan who couldn't even spit out ivory? !
When they were organizing a night hunt privately before, there was a group member who was so incompetent that he often held the team back. Xing Yuan scolded him so harshly that he broke down and cried, and he never showed up again.
"It's not your fault that you're useless. If you're useless and like to hold us back, why don't you just come out and embarrass yourself? It's embarrassing to kill a wanderer like you. If I had known, I would have been rotten in the first place!"
The above are Xing Yuan’s original words. Anyone who hears them will curse him as immoral and so insulting.
No matter how low the level of that group member is, he is definitely better than the pretty boy next to him. I only knew that Xing Yuan was a bad-tempered person before, but I didn't expect him to be so hypocritical.
Yan Feng kindly said, "There just so happens to be a TV station camera crew behind us. You can ask Lu Yan to stay with them for a while. It will be safer with more people."
Xing Yuan thought that Lu Yan could also see him hunting at night standing next to him, so he didn't object when he heard it.
The seats in the aircraft were arranged like in a subway, facing each other with an aisle in the middle. Next to Lu Yan sat a male reporter who looked familiar, as if he was the one who was making so much noise on the wall that day. He was concentrating on watching videos on his phone, scratching his head and muttering something: "Really... How come others have so many fans..."
Although the volume of his phone was low, it was played out loud. Lu Yan found that the other party's video interface looked familiar. He looked at it for a moment and found that it seemed to be his own video account.
Lu Yan: “???”
Lu Yan was silent for a moment, then for the first time he spoke up and said, "You also watch this anchor's videos?"
Xu Pinyan came out with a mission this time. Not only did he have to restore the official reputation of Sky City, which was shaky, but he also had to increase the number of fans. However, it was easier said than done. He saw the number of views and followers of Lu Yan's videos, and he was envious and jealous. Hearing this, he said without even looking up: "Lu the Exorcist, who hasn't seen his videos? He is very popular now, but the update frequency is too low and he doesn't do marketing. If he finds a professional team to run it, it will only take a few months for the followers to exceed 10 million."
Xu Pinyan sighed more and more as she spoke, and simply put away her phone. She turned around and saw a handsome guy staring at her. He looked quite unfamiliar, so she subconsciously asked, "Are you also from the Special Ability Zone?"
But he had seen people from Team One, Team Two, and Team Three, but he had never seen the person in front of him.
Lu Yan smiled awkwardly: "No, I just came out to join in the fun."
He added, "Just a little assistant."
Xu Pinyan looked at him admiringly: "You are brave. We, the frontline reporters, need your courage to face difficulties. You will help them later. There are so many superpowers nearby. Nothing will go wrong."
What he said was true. Ever since the red sun phenomenon disappeared, there were no high-level wanderers in the Devil City. Ordinary people with guns could rush in and kill them. The authorities sent out the ace team just for show. In fact, there was no need for so many people.
Therefore, in order to achieve the best visual effect, Xu Pinyan decided to shoot in a polluted area.
"No, no, no, that angle is not good. It's not shocking enough. You can't even see the supernatural power. You have to move sideways. Take another shot!"
Xu Pinyan temporarily built a studio under the abandoned building in the polluted area. He sat in front of the camera and shook his head vigorously. He was quite dissatisfied with the resulting image.
Chong Yuan, who had reshot 20 times, stood on the rooftop with a livid face. He couldn't help but yell, "You're fucking brain-dead, aren't you? I'm a wind-type, so of course I can't see supernatural powers! Come on, fuck you! I can start over, but can the Wanderer listen to you and start over?! It's already run away, so I'm killing the air!"
Chong Yuanyu jumped down from the top of the building and said he would not shoot anymore.
Xu Pinyan said: "This is also for the effect of the picture. Come on, since the wind type can't be seen, let's switch to thunder... let's switch to fire type."
He didn't dare to command Xing Yuan, and swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.
The other captains looked at each other in bewilderment. It was the first time they heard that hunting the wanderer could be staged. At the critical moment, the director who had gone to the woods to squat because of diarrhea finally came back. He saw Xu Pinyan sitting in front of the camera and giving instructions. He was so angry that he kicked the chair under his buttocks and said, "You are a reporter. Is it your job to film? Get out of my way. The Night Hunt will of course let the Superpower Team take the initiative to chase the wanderer, and we will follow behind to record. What the hell are you posing for? Do you think you are filming a TV series?"
All I can say is that professionals are different. The director simply dismantled the temporary shed and found several cameramen to squat at high positions to ensure that there were cameras able to capture the images on every necessary route, which allowed the special power team to freely pursue the wanderers.
Xing Yuan moved his neck carelessly, making a series of teeth-grinding bone sounds, and said to Luo Yang and the others, "As usual, I'll be in one group, and you two will be in another."
He doesn't like the hassle of working with others.
Hearing this, Luo Yang glanced at Lu Yan not far away and asked, "What about your little lover? Is he with the people from the TV station?"
Xing Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "There are no superpowers on the TV station, so of course he will be with me."
He stretched out his long arm and pulled Lu Yan to his side. "When we go hunting at night, stay beside me and stop running around. Do you understand me?"
Lu Yan thought that if he ran into a wanderer, he couldn't control his conditioned reflex: "If I go, I will just cause trouble. Why don't I stay here with the TV station people and wait for you?"
He didn't want to go at all, really.
Xing Yuan: "No, you must go."
He looks so handsome when he kills the wanderer, Lu Yan must see it.
…
The birth of everything in the world has its own laws. If there is black, there is white. If there is yin, there is yang. God created hell, so there must be heaven. Wanderers wreaked havoc on the world, so people with special powers were born. They are regarded as the successors of God.
After nightfall, everything was quiet. The dark clouds blocked the moonlight. The abandoned buildings were covered with winding green vines, but they were soon flattened and deformed by a group of black figures that passed by quickly.
Those psychics each occupied a street, moving quickly in the darkness. Their sharp sixth sense allowed them to capture the breath of the wanderers. With their psychics in hand, they simultaneously unleashed their powers, and the wanderers who smelled the scent of humans swarmed out and flew towards them from afar. However, they were beaten to ashes at a distance of three meters, and screams of pain rang out one after another.
Gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, those supernatural powers wrapped in light densely packed across the sky, as beautiful as a meteor shower. The scene was spectacular, but it was far inferior to the shock and oppression brought by the combination of wind and thunder.
“Boom——!”
A flash of lightning suddenly streaked across the dark sky, and thunder rumbled. Xing Yuan was seen standing high above the ruins, with his hands forming a complicated spell, blue electricity lingering around him, and a large shadow spread and expanded behind him. His expression was cold, and his dark eyes showed a barely perceptible scarlet. The groups of wanderers sensed the pressure in the air and ran around in panic, but were smashed into pieces by the large lightning net created by Xing Yuan, and turned to ashes before they could even scream.
At this moment, another group of wanderers attacked from the left. Xing Yuan didn't even look at them. He flipped his fingertips and snapped them. The lightning instantly exploded into fireworks and flew away. The whole group was destroyed in a moment. It was simply a naked show of skill.
Lu Yan, standing nearby as a spectator, clapped his hands vigorously to show his respect: "So handsome!"
Although Xing Yuan didn't say anything, he curled his lips slightly. He didn't realize that he was like a peacock spreading its tail, showing off and ostentatious.
Team 2 and Team 3 were nearby and were speechless when they saw this. Nie Zhuguang said tactfully, "Captain Xing, you killed all the wanderers by yourself, so you should at least leave some soup for your brothers, right?"
Xing Yuan thought that this kind of thing depends on one's ability. If you can't grab the head, can you blame others for not letting you? But he was in a good mood today and didn't bother to think about it: "I'll leave it to you guys later. I've hunted enough."
The rest of the people heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. After all, getting a zero in the night hunt was too embarrassing, and they couldn't let one team steal all the limelight.
Nie Zhuguang and Chong Yuan signaled to their team members and immediately continued their search forward. The camera team also chased after them, leaving only one team standing there.
Seeing this, Xing Yuan jumped down directly from the abandoned building. After taking two steps, he remembered that Lu Yan seemed to be still upstairs. He was about to go back and pick him up, but he didn't expect that the other party jumped swiftly and jumped directly from the top of the seventh floor. It seemed that he was quite skilled.
Xing Yuan frowned slightly, and was very sensitive to something strange. After all, it was impossible for an ordinary person to jump from the seventh floor and remain unscathed. Lu Yan didn't know what Xing Yuan was thinking, so he walked up to him and asked, "Are you not going to continue hunting?"
He was smiling, his eyes were gentle and bright, this expression particularly appealed to Xing Yuan, so he briefly put aside his doubts and said casually: "I don't care about hunting mosquito legs."
So many wanderers haven't even formed a group, so only the second and third teams can take them seriously.
Luo Yang led his team over and compared the number as usual: "Hey, I hunted about fifty today. Come on, is there anyone taller than me except Xing Yuan?"
Yan Feng shook his head: "I hunted more than forty."
Ning Que said, "I am forty-two."
Everyone came over to count, most of them were around 30 or 40. When it was a young man's turn, his fair face turned red and he stuttered, "I... I'm sorry, I only have eight."
Compared with the rest of the experienced guys, he was obviously still a bit green and helpless, and his grades were also quite "poor". Xing Yuan, as the team leader, turned his eyes away when he heard this and didn't bother to pay any attention to him, just like the class teacher selectively ignoring those students whose grades were hopeless when they were in school.
Lu Yan found it strange at the time that Xing Yuan didn't say anything sarcastic, which was simply not his style. Later he found out that the young man was the only son of the director and was specially transferred to a "gilding" team.
Luo Yang patted Zhuo Qun on the shoulder and said a few words of comfort: "It's okay, it's always like this the first time, you will get better with practice later, and the captain didn't scold you."
Zhuo Qun glanced at Xing Yuan's profile, blushing and whispering, "Captain, I will try harder next time."
Xing Yuan didn't even look at him, his brows showing impatience, and he said lightly: "Next time, just go with Team 2. Team 1 doesn't want newbies."
He actually wanted to tell the team not to waste anything, but he held back a bit for the sake of the president. Unfortunately, the ivory that came out of Xing Yuan's mouth could not change the fact that hurt his heart no matter how it was modified. Zhuo Qun's face turned pale when he heard the words, and he was about to fall down.
Luo Yang thought it was not necessary, so he secretly touched Xing Yuan's arm and said in a low voice, "That's enough. You even brought your little lover with you. Zhuo Qun has at least hunted eight of them."
The implication is that Lu Yan hasn't hunted any yet.
Xing Yuan heard him speak for Zhuo Qun and also stepped on Lu Yan. He lifted his eyelids and looked over, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Didn't you say that it's enough for a lover to have fun in bed? How can it be compared?"
Lu Yan is not a member of the same team, so Xing Yuan doesn't need to ask him to do anything. Besides, although the other party won't kill the wanderer, he is good in bed and has a handsome face. This is called specialization.
Xing Yuan was able to pick out seventeen or eighteen advantages from Lu Yan to crush Zhuo Qun.
Luo Yang suspected that he was hallucinating when he heard this: "What did you just say?"
Xing Yuan is racing, right? He is racing, right? He must be racing! Big Iceberg can also race?
Xing Yuan looked at Luo Yang's confused look and finally understood something: "No wonder Bobo dumped you."
Luoyang was shocked: "?!!!" Damn, why is there a personal attack? ! !
"Explain to me clearly, what do you mean by Bobo dumped me? It was obviously me who dumped him! I have eight suitors in my list, so how could I be dumped by someone..."
Luo Yang was so angry that he stuttered when speaking. At this moment, a burst of angry screams suddenly came from the darkness in the distance, piercing his eardrums. At that moment, almost everyone covered their ears subconsciously and took several steps back in pain.
"Quickly retreat!! There's a big guy in the contaminated area!"
The second and third teams, which were originally hunting the wanderers, suddenly came running from the opposite direction in a panic. They were in a miserable state, their faces were pale, and they had more or less injuries on their bodies. There was a pure white giant human-faced bird chasing them madly from behind, and the shrill whooshing sound came from her mouth.
[Ding ding ding! Warning! Warning! A T5-level wanderer has been detected! A T5-level wanderer has been detected...]
The sensors on everyone's waists suddenly started beeping like crazy. When they heard the prompts inside, their faces all changed. The highest level of Wanderer known so far is only T4, so when did a T5 appear?
"Go up and provide support! Teams 2 and 3 can't hold on any longer! Lu Yan, Zhuo Qun, get on the aircraft immediately!"
In a flash, several black figures rushed over like arrows from a bow to provide support, but the white human-faced bird suddenly rushed upwards, rising high in a parabola, its black and red eyes turned, and it swooped down directly towards the position where Lu Yan and Zhuo Qun were.
It smelled a rather tasty human being there.
Wanderers do not eat their own kind, so the human-faced bird selectively gave up Xing Yuan.
Seeing this, Lu Yan's face changed slightly. He obviously didn't expect that this strange bird would suddenly target him. In a flash, he pushed the frightened Zhuo Qun aside, then rolled on the ground to avoid the attack from the giant bird. Sand and rocks were flying all around, making it impossible to open one's eyes.
Luo Yang shouted anxiously: "Oh no! It's flying towards Lu Yan!"
Xing Yuan saw the human-faced bird flying towards Lu Yan's direction, and his heart skipped a beat. His face was gloomy and ugly, and he clenched his fingers in the air, immediately summoning a dense mass of lightning to strike the wanderer away. However, before he could make a move, a deafening thunder suddenly sounded in the sky -
"BOOM!!!"
A bolt of lightning suddenly descended from the clouds, illuminating the surroundings as bright as day. The source of this powerful force was not Xing Yuan, but Lu Yan, who was thought to be an ordinary person in the distance. He saw the human-faced bird spit out its scarlet tongue and tried to devour him, and was finally forced to make a move. His ten fingers quickly formed a lightning array, summoning lightning from all directions. Several beams of light fell from the sky to form a cage, trapping the strange bird squarely inside.
In an instant, there was lightning and thunder, and the sky and the earth lost their color.
The pressure from the strong man came towards them, almost suffocating them. They stared at the scene in front of them with wide eyes, all in shock.
