Chapter 481: Don’t Mess Around
Even though no one could see the situation inside the underground tunnel, judging from the high-pitched shrieks of the zombie rats, the possibility of them surviving the attack was nearly zero.
Qin Luzi checked his map and saw a group of red dots stop moving before fading away. He glanced at Fu Guai, and surprise flashed in his eyes.
The members knew that Fu Guai had a unique ability to clone other people’s skills. He did not find it surprising since someone could even control shadows. But he never expected him to be so good at controlling the skill he copied.
Although the attack power was only around seventy percent of the original skill he copied, with his level, the destructive power could not be underestimated. Combined with how good he was at manipulating his energy and combining the skills he copied, he might be on par with the Captain.
Reaching this conclusion, Qin Luzi heaved a silent sigh of relief. Fortunately, this person was a friend and not a foe. Otherwise, he might have given their team a lot of headaches if they met in battle.
While the Phantom Team members were busy clearing the zombie rats, Cheng Yue and Cheng Rui finally arrived at the Lin’an City border.
The two of them were covered in dust and looked visibly haggard. With a scarf covering half of his face, Cheng Rui turned to his brother and said, "Ah Yue, do you think the situation in Lin’an City will be better than the other cities?"
Cheng Yue brushed his hair and replied hoarsely, "It took us five days to finally reach the border from Pingjiang City."
"The number of zombies has increased significantly after the rain. With the addition of the emergence of mutant animals and mutant plants, I doubt the situation in this city will be much better than other places."
It was rare to hear his brother talk so much, so Cheng Rui glanced at him and thought about the situation they encountered along the way.
A moment later, he noticed the black fire tornadoes in the distance and said, "Ah Yue, do you see that?"
Cheng Yue nodded and said, "It seems that someone is fighting over there."
The moment he said this, Cheng Rui’s eyes lit up and he said, "Let’s go and see who it is. Such a wide-range attack, he must be very strong."
Before Cheng Yue could refuse, his brother had already driven his motorbike toward the direction of the fire tornadoes. Heaving a tired sigh, he had no other choice but to follow after him.
After driving for half an hour, the two of them stared at the massive hole in the road. Seeing this, Cheng Rui said, "The road in this city is worse than Pingjiang City. It seems that we can’t use the motorbike."
Cheng Yue nodded and carried his backpack, leaving the motorbike behind. Since the road was too damaged, they could only walk.
Without the motorbike, the two of them circulated their energy and dashed toward the direction of the battle. At this moment, their speed was faster than the motorbike. In less than twenty minutes, they stood on top of a rooftop of a five-story building, not far from the Eagle Team.
"Ah Yue, do you think those two groups are together or not?" Cheng Rui asked while rubbing his unshaved chin.
Cheng Yue observed the group not far from them and said, "I didn’t detect any hostility from them toward the group who was fighting. I don’t know if they were together, but they were definitely not foes."
When he heard this, Cheng Rui frowned, and disappointment was clear in his voice as he said, "If they are friends, then we can’t use them to test each other and find out about their strength."
"We came here to seek a safe place to settle down. Don’t mess around, I’m tired of traveling around," Cheng Yue warned him.
Meeting his brother’s cold gaze, Cheng Rui raised both of his hands and said, "Okay, okay. I won’t mess around."
At the same time, Qin Luzi had already noticed them. He turned to stare in their direction and thought that the blue dots seemed not as rare as he had thought.
Besides his Captain, his sister-in-law, Mo Junjie, the Pei siblings, and Li Qixuan, now there were another two blue dots. While the depth of the blue color varied, their dots were indeed in the range of colors mixed with blue.
It seemed that the blue color represented something. But what was it?
While Qin Luzi was thinking about the possibility that the blue dots represented, the battle finally concluded as Jin Xuyan burned the last group of zombie rats into ashes.
Standing in the middle of the open field, Qin Luzi checked the map for a while before he said, "Captain, this area has been cleared."
Jin Xuyan nodded and said, "Pick up the crystal cores."
Since he could not help much during the battle, Yin Yusheng took the initiative to pick up the crystal cores. Without their space-type ability-users, he stored the crystal cores in his backpack.
Compared to the zombies, the zombie rats had fewer crystal cores, and most of them were transparent crystal cores. Only a few were elemental-type crystal cores.
Everyone would receive equal rewards when they reported back to the mission hall. If they did nothing, they would feel too embarrassed. So, seeing that the battle had concluded, the Eagle Team joined them in picking up the crystal cores.
Standing on the rooftop not far from them, Cheng Rui rubbed his chin and said, "They are indeed a group."
Turning to his brother, he asked, "Ah Yue, should we go greet them now?"
Hearing this, Cheng Yue shook his head and said, "From their badge, they are from the Lin’an City Base. We only need to follow after them."
"You can see their badges from this distance?" Cheng Rui asked with doubts.
This time, Cheng Yue did not answer his brother’s question and only gave him a side glance.
