Chapter 227

They stayed in the secret room for a while, making sure there was no movement outside, before they both walked out and returned to their residence. However, as soon as they entered the room, chaos broke out outside.

The noisy sound alerted Su Bei and Wu Jin, and they both recalled what happened at noon today. It was also the same chaotic footsteps at that time, and then they heard the bad news that they had become criminal suspects.

But they were not mentally prepared at that time, but this time was different. The two looked at each other and tacitly and decisively chose to hide.

Although they were not sure what had happened, it was always better to hide for a while. Even if Chief He came, they could not be sure that they would be in the room. If it was a good thing or something that needed to be done, they could just come out. If it was a bad thing, hiding for a while would give them some time to react.

Both of them chose to hide in the groove of the roof. It was originally just a room design, but it was very suitable for hiding people. Not only was it convenient to hide, but the vision was also good, and they could clearly see the situation below. Moreover, since ancient times, people did not look up when looking for someone, so it was difficult for ordinary people to notice what was above their heads.

The people they saw now were not familiar people, but a group of strange underground people. The middle-aged man in the lead said angrily: "Look! See if they are hiding here!"

A group of people began to search through the boxes and cabinets to look for the person, but soon they found nothing and gathered at the door again. The middle-aged woman shook her head: "We found nothing. They shouldn't be here."

"These outsiders are really good at hiding." The people next to him cursed angrily, "A group of murderers killed people in our territory and wanted to escape? They are dreaming! I will find them even if I have to dig three feet into the ground!"

A girl in the team said hesitantly, "In fact, we have no evidence that they killed people. I heard that some of them have been following Chief He and his men, so they had no chance to kill anyone."

The middle-aged man in the lead sneered: "Oh, you are too soft-hearted! The outsiders are all the same. Are you sure they are not covering up for each other? If they are really fine, why do they run away when we are chasing them? Isn't it obvious that they are guilty?"

That's because you wanted to take him down without thinking twice. She would have run away too. The girl complained in her heart, but she didn't say anything else. She wouldn't say something like "I'm the only one sober while everyone else is drunk" at this time. It's not worth it to be isolated from the group for a group of strangers.

After they left, Su Bei and Wu Jin jumped down from the roof. From the few words just now, they already understood what was going on.

In short, someone leaked the news that the six people were killed by outsiders, and then there were probably a few people who fanned the flames, which eventually led to them arousing the anger of the underground humans.

The clan leader probably failed to appease these people. Jiang Tianming and his men fled as soon as they realized the situation was out of control, and now everyone is playing hide-and-seek.

Thinking of this, Su Bei couldn't help but sigh that the author of "Superpower King" is really good at burying foreshadowing in unexpected places. Who would have thought that the hide-and-seek mode of the entertainment game was also a foreshadowing of his?

The author set up the hide-and-seek mode in the entertainment game not just to make it a daily routine, but to let them master the method of hide-and-seek in advance, so that they can play a big role at the critical moment!

It's really thoughtful to think like this!

Su Bei rolled his eyes silently, then looked at Wu Jin who was a little bit at a loss: "What are you going to do next?"

"I'll go with you," Wu Jin answered tentatively, mainly because he was a little afraid that Su Bei wanted to be a lone wolf.

Fortunately, Su Bei didn't mind staying with his teammates for the time being. He nodded and told them his plan: "Then let's go find the others and tell them how to leave."

This is also the most useful information they gained from this trip to the basement. As long as they tell others this news, they can basically be sure to leave by noon tomorrow.

No one would have time to eat during the tense hide-and-seek moment, so the two were not in a hurry to find them. They hid from the underground humans who were waiting for patrol searches while checking places they had not been to.

There are six tribes in the underground world. There are probably no Tibetans in the Mud Tribe, so Jiang Tianming and others can only hide in the remaining five tribes. Among these five tribes, Su Bei thought about it and finally decided to go to the territory of the Shanshui tribe.

Even if I haven't been to the other tribes, I have encountered related people and things. Only the Shanshui tribe has not appeared yet. It's time for them to appear.

The lobby of the Shanshui tribe looks like a water curtain cave, with a flowing stream as the outermost circle. Water curtains are falling from top to bottom on the walls, and a rain bell is hung on the door. It looks very beautiful. It can be said that this is the most beautiful tribe among the six tribes.

Entering the tribal hall without hesitation would definitely attract a lot of attention as human beings. So Su Bei and the other two hid behind the water curtain as soon as they arrived, risking being soaked like a drowned chicken, and moved in little by little.

Wu Jin was puzzled. Relying on the sound of water to cover his voice, he asked in a low voice: "Do we really have to come here to look for someone?"

"I guess they are here." Su Bei also said in a low voice, and then he conjured up an ordinary gear and threw it into the center of the hall. These were the only two abilities he could use now, the other being the ability to see the compass of fate.

However, this skill of creating gears can only create the most common gears, and not many of them. This is the inhibitory effect that this underground space has on supernatural powers.

Most people would not notice such a small gear, and even if they did, they probably wouldn't think there was anything wrong. But Jiang Tianming and his men couldn't have missed it. They would have been able to identify him through this gear and convey effective information to him.

Sure enough, not long after, the gear suddenly moved out of nowhere. There was no doubt that Jiang Tianming was here, and among them, only Jiang Tianming's ability could cause this effect.

Following the direction of the gear, Su Bei looked towards a small room. He and Wu Jin slowly moved to the door of the room, and the door was very "sensible" and opened a little automatically.

While no one was paying attention, the two of them slipped in and then saw Jiang Tianming, Wu Mingbai, Zuzong and Huangfu Mingzhe in the room.

"You two are actually together." Su Bei raised his eyebrows, "What's the situation now?"

This place is probably quite safe. Jiang Tianming took Su Bei and Wu Jin to sit down and told them a story.

After the two of them left, everyone went to the Psychic Tribe to talk to the chief. The chief did not hide the fact and told everyone that the Black Flash organization was trying to capture him.

He spoke generously enough, and he was an old acquaintance, so Chief He immediately dispelled most of his doubts and prepared to discuss this incident with him to see if the other party had any way to catch the missing outsider.

However, at this time, Wu Mingbai suddenly found that there seemed to be something wrong with the underground people around him. Just as Su Bei could see the fate compass, Wu Mingbai could still easily sense the earth element even if his supernatural power was weakened.

Originally, because the underground humans had been living underground, the earth element in their bodies was particularly concentrated. But now he found that the concentration of earth elements in the bodies of several underground people around him was slowly decreasing. Although he didn't know what happened, it was undoubtedly a bad signal.

As they were all underground people, the leader of the psychic tribe had no problem. Only the people in their team had problems. Wu Mingzhi told everyone about the situation, and after everyone discussed it, they soon realized that there might be something bad left by Cyril on those dead people, which caused them, the underground humans who had been in contact with the dead for a long time, to be infected with some virus or something.

Just as I came up with this guess, I heard someone outside maliciously spreading the news that an outsider had killed the people. Then a group of underground people rushed over without even listening to the explanation, wanting to arrest them and bring them to justice.

So they used the trick to disperse, get out of the sight of the people behind the scenes, and secretly investigate the problem of the corpse. At the same time, Chief He and other insiders helped to stop those people and prevent them from finding everyone. By the way, they also found a few safe houses for Jiang Tianming and his team, and this was one of them.

"No, I remember we just left not long ago." Su Bei was shocked. How did they cause so much trouble in less than two hours? There was conspiracy, escape, and investigation. They were worthy of being the protagonists. He could not even catch up with their ability to stir up trouble.

Jiang Tianming shrugged helplessly and continued to talk about the following events: "Then when we fled to the Gecko Tribe, we happened to meet the two of them. Classmates Zu... and Huangfu did hide in the [Arena]. At that time, they happened to hear the conspiracy of Cyril and Li Xiang, and hid in to prevent them from killing people and silencing their mouths."

"What conspiracy?" Su Bei asked politely, although he had already guessed it in his heart.

Jiang Tianming said something similar to what he thought: "It is to control the underground humans through a certain type of cells emitted from the corpses, and then bring them to the surface to join the "Black Flash" organization."

Sure enough, Su Bei nodded calmly: "Then what are you going to do?"

"Of course we have to expose their conspiracy." Huangfu Mingzhe said without hesitation, "Since the 'Black Flash' organization wants them to join, I must stop them."

This is not for the sake of fighting for a moment of loyalty, but because if the "Black Flash" organization gets what they particularly want, it is likely to cause bad consequences to others. Giving a knife to an ordinary person and a knife to a vicious criminal can have completely different effects, but this "knife" must not fall into the hands of the "Black Flash" organization.

Jiang Tianming nodded in agreement and turned to look at Su Bei and Wu Jin: "What about you? What have you discovered during this period?"

"We found a way to leave." Su Bei replied with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, the four of them opened their eyes wide in surprise. Although Jiang Tianming guessed that Su Bei must have left midway to take care of something critical, he did not expect that he could bring them such a big surprise.

The ancestor asked in surprise: "It's great that you found a way to leave! Doesn't that mean Bowen and the others can be saved?"

After saying that, he suddenly remembered something and asked nervously, "So how can we leave? Can we leave now? If there is no problem, let's send someone to take the two unconscious people out first."

"We have to wait until tomorrow noon to leave." Su Bei simply explained the method of leaving, and then said righteously, "I will be responsible for sending them out safely at that time, and you just need to solve the conspiracy here."

Others: “…”

Just looking at his self-sacrificing expression and determined tone, someone who didn't know would have thought he was going to stay and face the danger.

"But you can't fly, how are you going to take them up?" Jiang Tianming asked calmly.

After hearing this, Su Bei was forced to calm down. With his physical strength, he could carry two people, but it was still a bit difficult for him to climb such a high place. The main thing was that it was unnecessary, as there were people in the team who could fly.

"Let's find Si Zhaohua and let him go." Wu Mingbai gave the only solution. In their team, Si Zhaohua was indeed the only one who could fly in this situation. Although Huangfu Mingzhe could fly, it was one of his supernatural skills, not his own ability.

Only Si Zhaohua's ability to fly, Su Bei's ability to see the Compass of Destiny, Huangfu Mingzhe's extremely strong physical fitness...these are the superpowers that come with them.

"Let's work together according to the current team division. You go find Si Zhaohua and the others, and we'll continue to investigate how to solve Cyril's conspiracy." Jiang Tianming said as he took out a piece of paper with the location of the safe house given by Patriarch He recorded. "You just go to these locations one by one. Although they may not be in the safe house, the transit station must be in these rooms. We will most likely find them if we wait here."

Su Bei nodded. Although finding someone was troublesome, it was certainly easier than exposing a conspiracy.

"Hey, use these to wipe your wounds later." Seeing that they were about to leave, Huangfu Mingzhe threw two handkerchiefs that were obviously of high quality to Su Bei.

Because they just passed through the water curtain, Su Bei and Wu Jin were all wet and really needed a towel or handkerchief to wipe themselves. I didn't expect this guy to be so considerate and actually carried two handkerchiefs with him.

You have to know that in the underground world, you can't use supernatural props, including storage rings. In other words, Huangfu Mingzhe carries two handkerchiefs with him.

Not only him, but everyone else was also deeply surprised. How should I put it? It felt like having a tiger in your heart and sniffing roses.

Seeing the surprise in their eyes, Huangfu Mingzhe snorted coldly and said arrogantly: "Put away your unpresentable expressions. A perfect person must be perfect at all times."

"Doesn't he feel embarrassed when he says that?" Su Bei deliberately complained to Wu Jin beside him in a low voice.

Wu Jin: “…”

The perfect Huangfu Mingzhe was furious: "Hey! I can hear you!"

The group split up, and Su Bei and the other two headed straight for the Gecko Tribe, which was closest to the Shanshui Tribe. It was known that the Mud Tribe and the Shanshui Tribe could not be Si Zhaohua's hiding place, so there were only four safe houses in four tribes left.

The most difficult part of this journey was undoubtedly avoiding searches by humans underground. Fortunately, they did not know that Su Bei and Wu Jin were on the move and thought they were hiding in a fixed place. Therefore, they did not spend too much time on the road when looking for them. Instead, they focused more on searching the water tank in the room, which made it easier for them to move around.

Fortunately, Wu Jin's low presence can also be used here, otherwise they might not be able to avoid the searches of so many underground people so smoothly.

After learning that his low sense of presence could still be used in this situation, Su Bei specifically asked the reason. It turned out that it was not an ability brought by supernatural powers, but Wu Jin's own ability. Or it could be said that he had cultivated an acquired ability by deliberately reducing his sense of presence for a long time.

Su Bei’s summary of this is - comic setting.

Just like Lan Subing's good luck, it was all arranged by the author for them.

Knowing that their luck was not very good, Su Bei had no intention of looking for it seriously. He would just take a quick look at each safe house, and when he confirmed that there was no one there, he would move directly to the next safe house.

After searching all the safe houses and not seeing anyone, Wu Jin finally couldn't help it and said, "Why don't we wait in the safe house? It's easy to miss it if we look like this."

"It doesn't matter. If you wait, you'll miss it anyway." Su Bei answered calmly, and after thinking for a while, "Let's go find Qiao Mu and the others."

It might not be possible to wait for the others to arrive in other places, but it is definitely possible in this place, and if nothing unexpected happens, unless the author really wants to kill these two people, there should be no plot before they are taken up. Waiting in the infirmary of the Grass Tribe can maximize the fishing.

But the underground people are not fools. When they came to the Grass and Tree Clan, near the room where Qiao Mu and Li Bowen were placed, Su Bei's mental power keenly detected several underground people lurking in the dark.

Apparently they had guessed long ago that Su Bei and the others would not abandon their companions and would definitely find a chance to rescue them, so they specially sent people to wait here.

The idea was good, but unfortunately the actual situation was ignored, or the outsiders were underestimated. Su Bei stood in the dark and accurately pointed out the hiding places of the underground people to Wu Jin. Wu Jin came in from outside and exposed himself to these people, and then left quickly.

A trick successfully tricked Su Bei into finding a safe passage, and he took the opportunity to enter the infirmary where only two unconscious people were. Not long after, Wu Jin also walked in by using his ability to keep a low presence to get rid of the enemy.

"What are we going to do next?" Wu Jin trusted Su Bei very much and believed that following him would not go wrong. After all, the two of them were tied together now. It was possible that Su Bei would cheat him, but he couldn't cheat himself.

"Wait here. If Jiang Tianming and Si Zhaohua can meet, he should tell Si Zhaohua to come here." Su Bei answered while observing the situation of Qiao Mu and the others.

Their current condition is very bad. Dark scars like overripe bananas can be seen on their exposed skin, and their foreheads are covered with cold sweat. Although they are in a coma, their brows are still tightly knitted, and it can be seen that they are in great pain.

Wu Jin could understand what Su Bei meant. If Si Zhaohua and Jiang Tianming met, Jiang Tianming would definitely tell Si Zhaohua their previous intelligence, and Si Zhaohua would definitely come then.

But the question is, what is their purpose? Are they just here? Wu Jin blinked, and his conscience made him insist on questioning: "Then aren't we just being lazy? This is not good."

Su Bei retorted seriously: "What are you talking about? We are protecting Qiao Mu and the others. Look at the ambushes arranged by the underground people just now, and you will know that they also know that we will not abandon Qiao Mu and Li Bowen. Now they are just ambushing around, if the critical moment really comes, do you believe that they will definitely hold these two people hostage to threaten everyone?"

This also makes sense. Wu Jin knew that what Su Bei said was really possible. Seeing him nod, Su Bei continued with satisfaction: "Right, so we can effectively avoid this kind of situation here. How can this be called being lazy? This is called preparing for a rainy day."

After the explanation, although Wu Jin knew clearly that Su Bei was staying here just to be lazy, he couldn't say anything to refute it. Because his reason was correct, it was just a reason derived from the result.

They spent a peaceful time here, while the drama was going on in full swing outside. Until the evening, when Su Bei was thinking about where they should sleep, Si Zhaohua and Wu Mingbai finally came.

Just as Su Bei guessed, Si Zhaohua really met Jiang Tianming, and then learned from Jiang Tianming how to leave. He came to the infirmary to find Qiao Mu and the others to take them out.

Because a big earthquake must be created to open the real exit, Wu Mingbai, who possesses the [Earth Element] ability, must also come.

Although his ability was also greatly weakened, who can blame the underground environment? For elemental ability users, the environment is crucial to their ability strength. And this underground environment undoubtedly greatly enhanced Wu Mingbai's ability.

It can be said that among all people, his ability was the least weakened, and he could even use it in battle. They were able to evade the pursuit of the underground people many times, thanks to Wu Ming's ability.

"In fact, I'm not sure if I can create an earthquake strong enough to open the entrance." Wu Mingbai pursed his lips and frankly expressed his concerns. With his supernatural powers greatly weakened, even in his own advantageous position, he was not completely sure that he could perform perfectly.

Such worries are not unreasonable. If he fails and they have no way to verify it, Si Zhaohua will be harmed by the chaotic flow of space just like Qiao Mu.

Su Bei had really thought about this problem. Since there was still time, it was not difficult to solve it: "It's not like the people in the underground world don't have supernatural powers. You are not the only one here who has the ability to cause an earthquake."

"You mean... the Mud Tribe?" Wu immediately understood what he meant. "But will Chief He help us?"

"He has no choice but to help in the current situation." Su Bei said meaningfully, "If it doesn't work, just ask the leader of the psychic tribe to persuade him."

The psychic tribe leader has a much clearer view on this matter than the earth tribe leader, so it is definitely okay for him to persuade them. Now that they have left, it is an unstoppable reality. If the underground humans want to solve the prophecy, they can only choose to rely on the "Black Flash" organization or the government.

The former has already started using shady tactics and killed quite a few of their people. Unless Patriarch He wants to compromise with the "Black Flash" organization, he will definitely agree to help Wu Dadao.
