Chapter 250

After they had a general understanding of the situation and had almost finished eating the snacks on the table, Chen Ze stood up and said, "Let's go. I'll take you there."

Walking all the way to the tower, the road was empty. Except for a few pedestrians, there was no one on the road. Today you suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Mr. Chen..., how are the casualties in Moyun City during this period?"

"The casualties are not so bad. The supernatural government must have received some news in advance. They immediately sent us to take over the city not long after we appeared in the alien space." Chen Ze was one of the first people to arrive and was quite clear about these things. "Some people died in the city at first, but after we arrived, we quickly sealed the city gates and cleared out the nightmare beasts in the city. There is no danger for the time being. The residents who could not be relocated were arranged to stay indoors to prevent the nightmare beasts from sneaking in and causing harm to them."

They can defend the sky, but not the ground, so sometimes nightmare beasts will sneak into the city. At this time, they usually need the superpowers guarding the city to clean up. If passers-by walk on the street, it is likely to hinder their mission and the passers-by themselves will be injured, so they are asked to voluntarily isolate themselves at home.

"Then what about the supply issue..." Wu Mingbai asked hesitantly. This incident happened suddenly, and the city was definitely not prepared in advance. With so many ordinary people at home, the amount of food and water consumed every day is not small. If the supply is not enough, they will definitely make a mess.

However, before he could finish his words, Chen Ze said with a smile: "There is a teleportation array in the city. Cities outside that have no problems will regularly transmit supplies to us, and then we can distribute them door to door. And even if we don't have their help, it won't be a big problem. Do you know what my ability is?"

"What is it?" Wu Ming asked subconsciously. At the same time, he realized that he was thinking wrongly. He was still looking at this problem from the perspective of an ordinary person, but in fact, they are superpowers!

"It's the [Logistics Master]." Chen Ze replied, "My ability is enough to support the living needs of many people. The government specially arranged for me to come here to prevent the teleportation array from being destroyed by the nightmare beast."

In other words, they are supernatural beings, so it is easy for them to teleport food or create food. If it were ordinary people, it would not be so easy to maintain daily needs during this period of city closure. When the nightmare beasts outside just need to besiege the city, the city will soon fall into chaos.

When they arrived at the city gate, Chen Ze left because he had his own tasks to do. Su Bei and others went upstairs, and the person in charge came over immediately after hearing the noise.

Seeing the young faces of the four people, the person in charge was surprised at first, and then asked very quickly: "I am the person in charge and commander here. Now report your abilities. If you have group attack skills, please tell me individually."

Everyone reported their own abilities, and the ones who had group attack abilities were Jiang Tianming and Wu Mingbai. Jiang Tianming's group attack ability naturally came from the ability of [Frost Mage]. And because it was a copy of a powerful psychic, the various skills of this ability were very complete. As long as the mental strength was sufficient, the power could completely replicate the effect of the original psychic.

Wu Mingbai's sinkhole skill can create a small earthquake, and can also create swamps, collapses, earth spikes and other skills, all of which can serve as group attack skills.

Only a superpower like [Earth Element] can have so many abilities. Wu Mingbai has also done his best to use his superpower to the fullest. Thanks to the fact that he had previously enhanced his own earth element concentration from the "Black Flash" organization, otherwise he would not be able to use so many skills with his original qualifications.

Although Su Bei and Lan Subing's abilities were strong enough, and you could tell they were strong just by hearing them, but since they had no group attack ability and were still students, the person in charge didn't pay much attention to them and casually arranged them to be auxiliary, and then began to focus on Jiang Tianming and Wu Mingbai.

Although there were many people around, Lan Subing felt at ease because they didn't look at her. She tilted her head and looked at the person in charge leaving with a bit of wonder: "We are being ignored."

Whether she was an ordinary person or after becoming a superpower, she has always been regarded as a proud girl, and has never been ignored like this. She is not angry, she just feels very magical.

"Isn't that a bad thing?" Su Bei said leisurely, "It's not a good thing to be respected in a place like this."

As the saying goes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. The more attention they receive, the more they have to do and the more dangers they encounter.

Although Su Bei was determined to perform well in this battle, it did not mean that he would really work hard and be a hard worker without complaint, working hard on this basic battlefield.

You have to know that the author probably doesn't want him to gain popularity. If he just performs at ordinary times, I'm afraid the other party won't draw the relevant content in the comics. Only when he takes action at a critical moment can the author be forced to draw his highlight moment.

So Su Bei is still waiting for an opportunity. Before that opportunity comes, he is still the Su Bei who loves to slack off.

Unlike Su Bei, Lan Subing is not the kind of person who is afraid of trouble. Just from the fact that she can become close friends with Jiang Tianming and Wu Mingbai, it can be seen that this girl has an agitated heart under her quiet appearance.

Not long after she arrived, she made everyone present feel the power of [Word Spirit]. With a single word of "stop", Lan Subing was able to control the vast majority of nightmare beasts, forcing them to stand still and take the beating.

The reason why she was able to control so many nightmare beasts in one breath was mainly because they were all low-level nightmare beasts and too weak. And Lan Subing only froze them, not killing them. If the [Word Spirit] she used was "death", the mental power consumed would be more than twice as much as it is now, which is far beyond what Lan Subing can bear.

Everyone was stunned by this move, but Jiang Tianming and Wu Mingbai were the first to react and jumped down to kill the enemy with their bodies. There was no conflict between supernatural attacks and combat attacks, and using both together would only kill more nightmare beasts.

Seeing this, others also reacted and went down to destroy the nightmare beast.

After this battle, Lan Subing became famous in Moyun City, successfully surpassing everyone and becoming the most respected psychic.

During lunch at noon that day, many people gathered around Lan Subing, wanting to make friends with this psychic who seemed to have a bright future.

Lan Subing was devastated. Although her social anxiety had improved a lot after years of training, it was still very difficult for her to face so many people's "encirclement and suppression" at once. She just wanted to find a hole to crawl into, let alone talk.

Seeing her situation, the three of them stood up and prepared to go over to help her. On the way, Wu Mingbai said with a smile: "It seems that the three of us have been left out."

Hearing this, Su Bei couldn't help laughing out loud: "She said exactly the same thing as you not long ago."

What does it mean that fortune changes over time?

But now Lan Subing must have regretted it. If she hadn't said that, she might not be facing this situation now. Even if she had faced it, she wouldn't have been laughed at by Su Bei.

Under the escort of the three, Lan Subing successfully returned to her room. Only when there were no outsiders around did she heave a sigh of relief, her face pale: "It's too scary."

"Weren't you jealous on the city wall just now?" Su Bei really didn't let her go.

Thinking of what she said at that time, Lan Subing blushed and whispered in defense: "I am jealous of Jiang and Mingbai for being assigned important tasks, okay?"

Jiang Tianming handed her a spiritual crystal to replenish her spiritual power as she was seriously depleted of it, and then asked: "When can you use that ability next time?"

"If there are enough crystals, we can do it again in two hours. If not, it will take at least five hours." Lan Subing replied after feeling her own situation.

This frequency is acceptable. It is not that it cannot be used after one use. Even without the support of the spirit crystal, it can be used four times a day. Every time everyone can destroy twice as many nightmare beasts as usual, and the accumulated amount is also very large.

"I have quite a few spiritual crystals here." Su Bei casually took out a few. These things were really worthless to him. He had obtained a lot of them before, but he had high-level spiritual power but couldn't use them, so he kept them in his storage ring and took up space. It was just right to give them away now.

The other two also took out some, and they all had something. Although it might not be possible to guarantee the full supply of blue ice, it could still support them for quite some time.

After counting the number, Jiang Tianming looked out the window and said, "I'll ask Teacher Chen later if they can get some spiritual crystals. If they can sustain your two-hour session, our combat power will definitely be greatly improved."

After a short rest, the other three, except Lan Subing, returned to the tower to resist the attack of the nightmare beast. Su Bei looked down while slacking off, lamenting that he had to be so careful even when exerting his strength.

In fact, with his ability, the best way to maximize his killing power without consuming too much mental energy is to find a weapon-type supernatural item, such as a sword, spear, or halberd, and then adjust his luck to the best, jump down and fight the enemy directly. When he is too tired to do it, let the flying supernatural take him back.

With the blessing of luck, his own fighting skills are extremely strong, and combined with the gear attack, even if he can't kill everyone, it is at least much better than his current haphazard attacks.

Unfortunately, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. If he did this, someone might wonder why the Nightmare Beast seemed to be going easy on him, and thus bring up the topic of his collusion with the Nightmare Beast again.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it would be better for him to just sit back and do his job quietly.

In the afternoon, Lan Su Bing was unable to make it twice, and many nightmare beasts were destroyed. After seeing the effect of Lan Su Bing, Chen Ze indeed found a bunch of spiritual crystals.

These spiritual crystals were provided by the psychics in the city. Although they are not common, they are very practical, so everyone has prepared some.

Moreover, Chen Ze also told them that he had already told the outside world that a batch of spiritual crystals and supplies would be delivered in a while. He told Lan Subing to use them boldly, as long as they could destroy the nightmare beast, the supplies would be enough.

The same thing happened the next day. With the support of the spirit crystal, Lan Subing could go out and use a skill once every two hours. If things continued like this, it would probably take less than a week for all the nightmare beasts outside the city to be wiped out.

Seeing that the situation in Muyun City was very good, Su Bei knew that something was going to happen soon. He took a look at the destiny compass above everyone's head and found that it was indeed the case. The small needles on everyone's heads were on the right, and many people's large needles had fallen directly below the compass.

It was obvious that something was going to happen today.

That night he didn't even plan to sleep, and he climbed up to the top of the bell tower, which was also the highest point in the city. Having learned from his previous experience, Su Bei even brought a small stool this time and adjusted the angle so that he could sit more comfortably.

Normally, there would be someone on guard at the highest point in the city, but because the city tower is also very high, no one pays attention to the clock tower. Even the alarm bell is on the city tower, and the clock tower is only used to broadcast the time. When the time reaches midnight and noon, the clock tower will ring.

It was dark outside, the moon was covered by dark clouds, and there was almost no light in the sky. In the room, Wu Mingbai looked at the message on his phone sleepily for a while, and suddenly reminded him, "Su Bei hasn't come back yet."

The three of them lived in the same dormitory, so they knew each other's movements very well. Su Bei said an hour ago that he was going to the restroom and never came back.

"Are you worried that something might happen to him?" Jiang Tianming raised his head and asked in surprise. To be honest, if it was someone else who went out to the toilet and didn't come back for a long time, he would have gone to look for someone. But this person was Su Bei, so he had no intention of looking for someone.

Wu Mingbai had the same idea as him. He sneered at this question and said, "I'm afraid he will cause trouble."

He hasn't come back for so long, and it's late at night. Either he's in trouble or he's causing trouble. If it's Su Bei, the former is unlikely. With that guy's ability to avoid risks, he would definitely be the first to run away if he encounters danger. What they should worry about is that he has left them behind.

Jiang Tianming agreed with this. He shook his phone and said, "I have already sent him a message, but he hasn't replied yet."

Hearing this, Wu Mingbai frowned and thought for a moment: "Remind Ah Bing, it feels like something might happen."

Jiang Tianming made an "OK" gesture and said, "Go to sleep. No matter what he wants to do, we still have tasks to complete tomorrow, so we need to get enough rest. And the person in charge has reminded us that we may have to work the night shift tomorrow."

Although they implemented a shift-based guard system, a good cook cannot cook without rice. There are so many nightmare beasts and so few superpowers. Even if the arrangement is reasonable, the rest time that each person can get is pitifully small.

By the evening, everyone's mental strength was basically exhausted. If you don't get enough sleep and rest, it will be difficult to support the whole day the next day, let alone work the night shift.

"If that guy hadn't suddenly stayed out all night, I would have gone to bed long ago." Wu Mingbai muttered unhappily. Of course he was very tired, but Su Bei's sudden departure made it difficult for him to sleep.

Jiang Tianming was the same. He also seriously suspected that something would happen tonight, so he didn't dare to sleep. But one of the three of them could just stay awake. There was no need for all three of them to stay awake. What if nothing happened tonight?

Su Bei, who was being discussed by them, was still enjoying the breeze on the bell tower. The summer wind was very hot, but fortunately he had prepared a small fan. When you go out, you must be fully prepared, otherwise you will suffer a lot.

He came out at 12 o'clock in the evening, and now it was past 1 o'clock in the morning. Except for the lights on the tower, everything else was dark. The entire Moyun City seemed like a dead city, without a single sound.

If nothing unexpected happens, the nightmare beasts will soon cause trouble. But where will they cause trouble? Su Bei has a lot of mental power, but not enough to cover the whole city, so he needs a more specific location to search.

Fortunately, he also has the ability to predict the future, so it is not difficult to do this. Su Beijiu took out a "prophecy gear" and silently recited "the scene of the nightmare beast appearing in the city" in his mind. Then he threw the gear into the air.

The next second, the gears turned into smoke, and a well could be vaguely seen below the smoke.

well

There weren't many wells in Moyun City, only five in total. Su Bei had carefully looked at the map on the way here, so he naturally knew where the five wells were. While he was using his mental power to find the five wells, he was thinking about another thing, which was what the smoke represented.

The prophecy given by the "Prophecy Gear" will not contain any useless information. This is the setting given when he created this skill. In other words, the well is a piece of information, but the smoke is also a piece of information, not just the background of the well.

The smoke was above the well, and even looked like it was coming out of the well. Thinking of the content of his prophecy, Su Bei suddenly had a guess in his mind: Could it be that the smoke refers to the appearance of the nightmare beast that would come out from there?

Smoke Nightmare Beast... Su Bei began to recall what he knew about Nightmare Beasts that could turn him into smoke. Because he had absorbed a large amount of information from the "Destiny" organization, his brain was full of knowledge, and he immediately thought of several Nightmare Beasts with this ability.

At this time, we need to use the process of elimination. The nightmare beasts that can be sent by the nightmare beasts to walk into the city should have some characteristics, such as strong control ability. It must control the people in the city as much as possible, so as to give the nightmare beasts outside a chance to break into the city.

And the one who possesses such ability...Su Bei's eyes became serious, and he immediately turned over and jumped into the clock tower, smashed the glass outside the huge dial with one punch, and then moved both hands to the zero position.

“Ding-ding-ding——”

A huge bell suddenly rang throughout the city, waking everyone up. Although the sound of the bell was very different from that of an alarm bell, it could wake up everyone who was sleeping.

After giving everyone a hint, Su Bei went directly to the place where his spiritual power had just sensed. That place was not far from the clock tower, in a well in the center of the city.

As soon as he arrived at the wellhead, Su Bei saw light blue smoke spreading out from the well at a very fast speed, as if there was a piece of dry ice inside.

Su Bei took out a mask from his storage ring and put it on, then found a place far away from the well mouth and sat down to wait for others to arrive. This place was not hidden, and although he could not be seen from the city wall, as long as someone climbed up the bell tower, he would be easily seen.

"Huh...what's going on?" Sure enough, after a while, a group of people came quickly, led by a boy with a dog nose, and he was the one who asked the questions.

Calling him a "dog nose" is not an insult, but he really has a dog nose now. However, after finding Su Bei, the dog nose was immediately taken back and turned into a normal nose again. It is obvious that this is a superpower with search ability. Su Bei has seen many of them when he was in the academy.

"Su Bei, why are you here?" Before Su Bei could say anything, Jiang Tianming and the other two came out of the crowd and looked at Su Bei in surprise and realization. How can I put it? Seeing Su Bei here, they actually had a feeling that was both unexpected and expected.

This guy went out in the middle of the night and sure enough, nothing good happened.

Su Bei pointed to the green smoke that had spread quite a bit to the side and was about to reach the residential building, and said in a relaxed tone: "The Nightmare Beast has come in."

Everyone: ""

Everyone immediately gathered around the well, looking at the green smoke with caution. The young leader Chen Ze reached out and touched the smoke, but didn't touch anything solid: "Is this the skill of the Nightmare Beast? What kind of Nightmare Beast?"

"This is the skill of the high-level Nightmare Beast, the Sleeping Nightmare Beast. It can make anyone who comes into contact with the smoke fall into a deep sleep." Su Bei, who was far away from the Wellhead Station, answered calmly.

Everyone: ""

Chen Ze reacted for a moment, then his expression changed drastically: "Then am I not——"

“Plop!”

Before he finished speaking, he felt an unmistakable drowsiness. Before his consciousness could even react, he fell into a dream and fell down.

Then there were continuous "plop" sounds, and all those who smelled the green gas without any protection fainted. Only Jiang Tianming and the other two who were standing with Su Bei survived.

Su Bei was standing in the upwind direction, so the smoke couldn't blow towards him for a while.

Jiang Tianming was dumbfounded: "No, why don't you remind everyone?"

"Didn't I ring the bell?" Su Bei said confidently, "As for what happened just now, they passed by so quickly that I didn't have time to stop them. By the time they passed by, it would have been too late to stop them."

Of course, that was just an excuse. In fact, he was too lazy to stop them. This kind of blue, green, and purple mist, anyone with a little brain would know that there was something wrong. He even dared to break into the house and smell it so carelessly. Isn't that courting death? There is no point in staying here without thinking. Letting them sleep is considered a good thing for him.

The three of them were speechless. Fortunately, they were familiar with Su Bei and wisely chose to go to his side instead of joining in the fun. Otherwise, they would have been among the unconscious people.

"What should we do now?" Jiang Tianming frowned. "If this smoke really spreads throughout the city, it will be a disaster."

Lan Subing asked expectantly: "Can I stop it with my supernatural powers?"

Compared to controlling a group, her ability is undoubtedly much more powerful against a single individual. Even if the opponent is a high-level nightmare beast, it is not enough.

"Not very good." Su Bei shrugged, "Sleeping Nightmare Beast is immune to control and physical damage."

Seeing that he was talking so clearly, Wu Ming looked at him suspiciously: "This nightmare beast has not been taught in the academy, how do you know it so clearly?"
