Chapter 323 Killing the Chicken to Warn the Monkey
Qiu Zhiyi: "Let's go, let's go. The superhumans outside have already rushed into Shangguan City after receiving the news. If we get there too late, we won't even be able to find a chicken feather, let alone soup."
Lu Yu: "I'm here! Where do we meet? Wait for me!"
Ye Conglei: "Take me with you! I have the lowest ability level, but I want to improve too."
They hurriedly shoved all the work in their hands into the hands of their subordinates.
We absolutely cannot miss this opportunity to collect the ability-enhancing fluid.
Each ability user at the Fierce Bear Base represents a dose of ability enhancement fluid, which is quite tempting for ability users.
Almost all the superhumans with some ability in Shangguan City have entered Shangguan City.
Meng Shiwan was the only superhuman left in the base. Even Wu Ming, who had finally managed to move into the Dawn Base, went off to kill people.
Meng Shiwan spread her wings and stood in mid-air, looking at the ruined city of Shangguan.
"To make an example of someone, we were just worried about not having any chickens, and these people came to us of their own accord."
Dawn Base is a highly coveted prize, coveted by countless people across the country, and even more people are secretly plotting against it.
Now that's good, let's take down the Fierce Bear Base first and let those people know that Dawn Base is not a place anyone can mess with.
Upon entering Shangguan City, the superhumans from the Fierce Bear Base, who were searching everywhere for the Black Cube, were unaware that they had become the prey of the hunting grounds.
Countless superhumans were charging towards them, their eyes gleaming.
Ma Chao led his team of about ten members and began searching everywhere after entering the city.
The more they searched, the more they felt that the beating they received inside the base wasn't such a bad deal after all.
At this moment, each of them was holding a black cube, and a dozen or so identical black cubes were gathered together, making the scene look strangely comical.
Skinny Monkey was speechless. "We only searched one street, just one street, and we haven't even searched it thoroughly yet, and we've already found ten black cubes? Who's so bored? Why would they throw so many fake black cubes around the city? Are they that idle?"
They felt that if they had searched around again last time and found another black cube, they would have noticed something was wrong.
Overwhelmed by their excitement, they rushed back to report as soon as they found one, only to be beaten as a result.
This time it was completely different; this time I was completely overwhelmed by confusion.
There are way too many of these black cubes.
If they wanted to create confusion by giving out fewer holidays, that would have been fine. But they've given out so many holidays that now they're caught in a dilemma – they can't keep them, and they can't throw them away either.
What if there's a real one inside?
Each person was holding one, both speechless and at a loss.
Skinny Monkey asked Ma Chao, "Captain, what do we do?"
Ma Chao was also at his wit's end. "What else can we do? Let's take them all back. We can't just throw them away. What if there are real ones inside? Let's find a place to collect them all in a room. Once we've collected enough, we can move them all to the cart."
He now thinks that if there were a spatial ability user, he wouldn't have to worry about where to put these things.
Unfortunately, there isn't one; we'll have to figure it out ourselves.
They went upstairs to find a relatively secluded room, put all the black cubes inside, and then had the metal-type ability user seal the room completely before they felt a little more at ease. Then they continued to search other places.
Skinny Monkey suggested, "Let's stop looking here, it's pointless. The black cube can make zombies evolve, and the real black cube is likely in the central area where the level 2 zombies are located. This one in the suburbs is obviously fake."
The team members all agreed that Skinny Monkey's words made sense, so instead of searching nearby, they chose to head directly to the central area where the level 2 zombies were most concentrated.
Level 2 zombies are more sensitive and are concentrated in the most numerous locations within the city, making them more difficult to deal with.
The ten of them banded together, barely managing to fight their way through the streets teeming with level-two zombies, trying to reach the most densely populated area of zombies in Shangguan City.
More than a dozen people were bombarding the streets, and the zombies kept coming in as if they were endless.
The agile level 2 zombies were very fast. As soon as they wiped out the ones in front, the ones behind would rush forward and attack their faces.
Fortunately, they were quite strong, and by taking turns releasing their powers, they were able to barely cope.
Ma Chao cursed, "Level 2 zombies are indeed more difficult to deal with."
Skinny Monkey was starting to have second thoughts. "Even if we fight our way in, we'll be surrounded by zombies. We won't have time to search for the black cubes. What we thought would be an easy mission is proving to be anything but easy."
The sheer number of zombies meant they faced a constant threat of death.
Just then, the sounds of fighting rang out behind them. Ma Chao turned around and saw that another group of superhumans had stormed in.
They were all unfamiliar faces, not from their Fierce Bear Base.
When the group of superhumans reached them, a middle-aged man with a stubble beard shouted at them, "Hey, are you here looking for level-two crystal cores too? There are too many zombies here, they're too troublesome. How about we cooperate and split the zombie crystal cores we hunt?"
Ma Chao looked at these people warily. You can't judge a book by its cover; it's best to keep your distance from strangers.
However, they are struggling to kill level 2 zombies now, so a brief period of cooperation would make it easier for them to fight their way out of this zombie-infested street.
After thinking it over, Ma Chao nodded, "Alright, let's cooperate and clean up these damn zombies around here."
With a stubble beard, Liu Mancang grinned and ordered his underlings to work harder, but his eyes kept glancing at the backs of Ma Chao and the others' hands.
After confirming that the group belonged to the Fierce Bear Base, Liu Mancang nodded secretly to his underlings.
His henchmen understood, so they focused on killing zombies to lower the group's guard.
Then, in a split second, their superpowers all struck Ma Chao and his group, and several of them were severely injured in an instant.
Ma Chao was shocked. "Are you guys crazy? Weren't we supposed to be working together to kill zombies? Why are you suddenly attacking us?"
Liu Mancang grinned, revealing his large yellow teeth. "You guys don't know yet, do you? Each of your lives is worth one dose of power-enhancing fluid. We won't hold back then."
As they spoke, some of them held off the surrounding zombies, while the rest attacked Ma Chao and his group.
Ma Chao fought back fiercely, gritting his teeth in anger, "Who said that? Who said it was our life-enhancing ability fluid?"
What on earth is going on? These people don't look like they're robbing anyone.
Liu Mancang unleashed deadly attacks, saying, "You don't know yet, do you? Dawn Base is offering one vial of esper enhancement fluid for one of your severed arms."
Ma Chao and his men were ambushed and quickly found themselves at a disadvantage.
Several team members had already sacrificed their lives, and several others were seriously injured. Ma Chao knew that they could not continue to linger, otherwise none of them would be able to leave alive.
He hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth, turned around, and ran away.
Liu Mancang panicked, "Power Enhancement Fluid, don't run away! If you run away, I'll lose one less bottle of Power Enhancement Fluid!"
He unleashed his ultimate move, severing Ma Chao's tattooed arm at a crucial moment. Ma Chao then seized the opportunity to slip into a small alley.
Liu Mancang wanted to give chase, but the skinny monkey blocked his way, his teeth clenched, "You can all die."
Liu Mancang dodged the skinny monkey's attack and was quite pleased with himself. "One of them escaped, but his hand was left behind. I can exchange it for power-enhancing fluid, hehe."
Of this ten-man squad, only Ma Chao escaped with a severed arm; the rest were all killed.
Their arms were cut off and put into bags.
Liu Mancang said smugly, "Ten vials of ability-enhancing fluid are in hand. It's definitely faster than killing zombies. Of course, we can't waste the crystal cores. Let's loot the crystal cores from their bodies and continue searching for the others."
"Alright, let's go."
A group of people excitedly fought their way out of the horde of zombies to continue their search elsewhere.
