Not long after Qi Shu left, two men dressed in black arrived nearby. Each of them carried a black bag.
One of the men dressed in black looked around suspiciously and said, “Black Knife, what’s going on with Scarface? Isn’t he just chasing after an evolutionary black cat? Logically speaking, he should have caught it faster than us. Why isn’t he here after such a long time?”
Black Knife glanced at the locator and said, “Scarface’s location information shows that he is right here. Let’s hurry and check around. I hope that nothing happened to him!”
The followed the direction of the locator and soon arrived at the left side of the abandoned factory. They saw a human body and the black cat’s body lying a distance away.
The man in black immediately ran over and looked at the scar-faced man’s corpse. He exclaimed in shock, “Scarface!! He’s actually dead? That’s impossible. He died together with the evolutionary beast?”
Black Knife slowly walked forward and squatted down to examine the corpse. He then stood up and spoke in a cold tone.
“Scarface must have suffered a sneak attack. His eyes are filled with sand, and his chest has caved in from a heavy blow. He has acquired fatal wounds on his throat and trachea. The entire set of fist techniques that the attacker used was as smooth as flowing water. The person who killed him was no ordinary evolver.”
After analyzing the situation, both of them were shocked by the conclusion that they had arrived at. They were both from the Deity Organization. Other than the military, nobody dared to attack members of their organization!
Besides, based on the information that they had received, there was only a small portion of the army stationed in Yangcheng. It would take some time for the main force of the army to arrive. Otherwise, they would not have dared to act so recklessly.
Their organization spanned across many powerful countries, and the forces behind them were even more complex. It was rumored that the few most powerful families in the world were involved in the organization. Some weaker countries did not even dare to go against them.
This was still not the scariest part. The source of all benefits was the most mysterious person in his organization. It was impossible to find out if the person was a man or a woman. This person had never shown his or her face before either. However, his or her reputation was something that all the countries in the world valued.
This person was wanted by various prominent countries in the world, and he or she was rumored to be a SSS-ranked figure who was capable of destroying a country. That was the reason why they were here, and dared to go against the world’s most powerful countries to fight for the source of life. However, the corpse in front of them came to them like a slap across their faces.
…
Black Knife rubbed his chin and thought about it for a while. He then shook his head and said, “There aren’t many people in Yangcheng who are capable of killing Scarface. However, according to intelligence, there isn’t such a powerful master of fist techniques here. Sixth Bro, what do you think?”
Sixth Bro pouted and said in a nonchalant tone, “I don’t have any guesses at all. I think that it’s more important to get down to business. So what if he’s dead? Does he think that he’s a mutant? He’s always so arrogant. He deserves to die!”
Black Knife frowned and said, “He can’t die for nothing. Although this guy is a little arrogant, he has long been favored by his superiors because of his identity as a mutant. You should know this better than I do!”
Sixth Bro shrugged and asked, “What do you think that we should do then?”
Black Knife smiled coldly after registering his words. “Ask someone from the organization to investigate this incident secretly. There are not many people that use fist techniques. Look into them one by one. Kill them as long as they are suspicious. We’d rather kill the wrong person than let them go off freely! It doesn’t matter if Scarface is dead, but no one that goes against the organization should be allowed to survive. The organization’s authority cannot be violated!”
Sixth Bro immediately frowned and said, “I have to remind you that changes have happened to the source of life. The military’s main forces will arrive here soon. If we send people here to investigate this incident, they might easily get wiped up by the military.”
Black Knife harrumphed coldly as he looked at the corpse before him and said, “I am the leader now, so I have the final say! Hurry up and get rid of this trash’s corpse. I will stay nearby and see if there are any clues.”
Sixth Bro smacked his lips after hearing what he said. He was too lazy to say anything else. Anyways, he did not need to be responsible for anything that had happened. He then grabbed the corpse of the scar-faced man and the black cat, found a bush and threw them in it.
Black Knife investigated the scene, but he did not find any clues. Both of them then quickly left the scene.
…
Right then, Qi Shu had returned home and changed into a new set of clothes.
When he recalled the battle just now, he thought that it was rather dangerous. The mutants were indeed much more terrifying than the evolvers, and their methods were also stronger than them. .
The last bit of white flame that Scarface spat out looked very small, but it was extremely powerful. Fortunately, he had managed to fool this guy. Otherwise, it was hard to say who would have won.
However, he finally understood some of the mutants’ weaknesses right now. As long as he got close to them, they would wind up dead. Their physical strength was still relatively weak.
Qi Shu was about to take a rest when he heard intense gunshots from afar. It seemed like someone had started a gunfight in the city. Had the government’s main forces arrived?
Qi Shu turned on the television and saw a red warning pop up.
[All residents of Yangcheng, please pay attention. Close all the doors and windows. Do not go out. The military forces has already entered Yangcheng and is clearing up all the unstable elements within the city.
If there are troops entering the residential building, please do not approach them, lest unnecessary trouble happens.]
Qi Shu looked at the report on television and felt a sense of urgency rise within him.
At this moment, the military forces had already entered Yangcheng. This meant that the army was ready to start a great purge. It was impossible for any evolvers to survive.
He could not tell what would happen to the Yangcheng Mountain Range. The danger there was definitely a hundred times greater than here.
On the other hand, the evolutionary creatures in Yangcheng were relatively safer and fewer in number. He had to speed up the process of hunting creatures in Yangcheng while the army was clearing them up. This was a rare opportunity.
Qi Shu immediately made a decision. He rested and replenished his supplies before heading out to search for some evolutionary creatures.
…
At the same time.
A group of fully armed soldiers was shooting at a blurry shadow on both sides of the river. The shadow seemed to be several meters long. When light shone on it, it gave off a faint luster. It was a fish-type evolutionary beast.
However, it was a pity that most of the evolutionary beasts were still unable to resist the firepower of the firearms. They were now fleeing in a sorry state. This was because they had tried to seek their own deaths by provoking the fully armed troops.
Just as the group of military forces entered the city and drove past the small bridge, a black shadow crawled out from the river and slammed into their car. The huge force almost knocked the whole car into the river.
Right then, one of the officers used his night vision binoculars to scan the river. The creature had already disappeared. Furthermore, it was still nighttime, so it would not be a good idea for them to search for itt. He immediately gave the troops his order.
“Everyone, stop shooting. The creature that attacked us has escaped. Inform everyone that this river is now a danger zone. Send some men to seal off the upper and lower ends of the river. Do not let the waters pass into other territories of the river.”
“Yes!”
The soldiers with a fearful expression on their faces as they finally stopped firing the guns in their hands.
“Yangcheng is definitely a dangerous place. There’s such a huge fish here. It’s at least four to five meters long. Thankfully, our car is quite sturdy. Otherwise, we would’ve been knocked down.”
“However, there are advantages when there’s danger. That kid killed a stray dog just now. A flash of green light then entered his body. He obtained an unexpected benefit!”
“Yes, it’s time to soar to the skies. I would like to become an evolver too!”
