On the western side of Yanshan Mountain in City B, a group of cannibalistic superhumans returned from hunting. Facing the rising sun, they were drenched in sweat, their clothes completely soaked. Carrying their prey, which was barely alive, they joked with their teammates and were about to return to their lodgings when suddenly a superhuman attack came at them.
These superhumans nimbly dodged the attack, and looking up, they saw a group of superhumans dressed in black with black masks covering their faces.
These cannibalistic superhumans immediately sensed that the other party was hostile and that they were all of a high level, each being a level 3 superhuman.
They retreated continuously, their supernatural powers glowing as they remained on guard against attacks. "Who are you?! Why are you attacking us?!"
As they spoke, they kept looking into the distance, clearly indicating that their teammates were there. If they could buy them some time, perhaps rescue could arrive. Unfortunately, these black-clad superhumans didn't waste any words with them, nor did they intend to give them a chance to call for help.
They immediately used their superpowers to attack the group of people. This group of men in black was incredibly strong, and each of their superpowers complemented each other, providing both offensive and supportive abilities, and their fighting style was constantly changing.
The wind and fire elements combine to create twice the destructive power of each attack. The water and lightning elements combine to create a mist that immediately triggers a lightning attack. What was originally just a bolt of lightning becomes a sea of lightning due to the conductivity of the mist, with an astonishingly large range. The combination of strength and speed elements, along with the amplification, creates an attack that can shatter an army with a single punch.
Under such continuous attacks, these cannibalistic superhumans were completely powerless to fight back and could only rely on their superhuman shields to withstand the attacks. However, these shields were smashed open by the opponent's power superhumans with just two punches. Spiderweb-like cracks immediately appeared on the superhuman shields, and the next moment they shattered like glass.
The moment the shield shattered, a cloud of pink smoke was blown by a gentle breeze. This pink smoke even carried a strange fragrance. The cannibals realized something was wrong and were about to hold their breath when they all stopped moving and collapsed to the ground one after another.
"Thump" "Thump"
Their bodies slammed onto the ground with dull thuds that sounded painful to hear, but the cannibalistic superhumans who had fallen were completely unaware, having already passed out.
At this moment, a tall man emerged from behind these black-clad superhumans. He was dressed the same as them. He walked over to the cannibalistic superhumans, squatted down, and checked them over to make sure they were unconscious. Then he made a gesture to the person next to him.
The superhumans nearby immediately stepped forward, hoisted the cannibalistic superhumans onto their shoulders, just as the superhumans had carried their prey earlier, and quickly walked into the nearby jungle, leaving immediately.
The man who had made the hand gestures earlier stayed behind. Only after everyone had disappeared into the forest did he cautiously look around to make sure no one had discovered him before turning around and following his teammates.
Only a few people, barely clinging to life, remained, watching helplessly as they were overwhelmed by the mutated beasts and plants that had caught up with them.
They moved through the mountains and forests and soon found the truck hidden there. The group climbed into the truck, and it started up and sped away down the mountain.
...
"Another superhuman has gone missing from this J City base."
Jiang Yue was holding the latest version of the terminal, integrating the messages transmitted from these bases. When he saw this message, his brows furrowed slightly.
The B City base had experienced something similar before. Could it be that another superhuman like Qi Chengtian has appeared?
Moreover, J City is not far from their B City. The water at the foot of the mountain has long since dried up, which cannot stop other people's footsteps. If these people extend their reach into B City, then their ability users will be in danger.
The Qiyuan Base is now subordinate to the B City Base and can be considered an integral part of it. Although the number of their ability users is still increasing, such behavior cannot be tolerated.
Thinking of this, he looked up at Chen Yu with a serious expression, "Chen Yu, do you think there might be another superhuman like Qi Chengtian?"
Chen Yu glanced at it and shook his head slightly. "It's hard to judge, but Qi Chengtian's kind of ability is indeed very rare. It's not certain that a second one will appear."
“What if,” Jiang Yue placed the terminal on the table, his tightly furrowed brows not relaxing at Chen Yu’s words, “otherwise, how do we explain the disappearances of these superhumans?”
"Don't forget how troublesome it is if a superpower like this grows up. Moreover, superpower users who cultivate like this usually level up very quickly, and it will be difficult to wipe them out later."
Chen Yu recalled how difficult it was to deal with Qi Chengtian. If it weren't for the appearance of that mysterious superhuman, they would probably have been in grave danger. Even if he had managed to kill Qi Chengtian, the rest of their team would have certainly perished at Qi Chengtian's hands.
He took the matter a little more seriously, picked up the news Jiang Yue had just seen, and read it carefully from beginning to end. When he saw that the J City base had only lost some level 1 and 2 ability users, he frowned slightly. Something seemed wrong.
Even if there are special ability users, their targets wouldn't be limited to such low-level ability users. Or is there some other hidden reason?
At this moment, Ye Lin also looked up from his work. The natural disasters were intensifying, the nights were getting shorter and shorter, and disasters of all sizes were constantly occurring on the main peak, severely damaging the environment and making it very difficult for the remaining humans to survive. He was extremely busy dealing with these things.
Now that he heard that a superhuman had disappeared, his brows immediately furrowed tightly. Then his head started to ache, so he put down his pen, rubbed his temples to relieve the fatigue.
Seeing Ye Lin's unwell appearance, Jiang Yue said disapprovingly, "You haven't slept or rested for several days. If this continues, even if you are a superhuman, you won't be able to handle it. I'll have Li Mu, a healing ability user, come over to take a look at you in a bit."
Ye Lin waved his hand, "I'm just a little tired, it's nothing."
Thinking of the news about the disappearance of superhumans he had just heard, he looked up at Chen Yu and said, "Let the superhuman team investigate this matter and see if there are any similar cases in J City in our B City."
"Okay." Chen Yu kept this in mind.
