Chapter 1273: Fight Outside the Base

The captain said to her with a bland tone, “Why are you thinking so much? Squad two and three need to get their jobs done first. They can’t even locate the targets right now. I think this mission is gonna fail.”

“It’s weird though. They located the targets before. How come they didn’t find out that they were wrong until they got here?” the woman asked a question.

The captain prepared to say something to her, but before that, he suddenly raised his head and looked straight ahead. Before long, the woman and all the others on the roof felt something too and turned to that direction together. Next, they all stood up and grew alert.

“Get ready to fight!” The captain abruptly sprung up as he uttered a shout and then darted out.

His subordinates made moved one after another and scattered over the roof. Their captain told them to get ready to fight and not to take action, meaning that they had already been spotted and the enemy had come to them.

“You guys came here without an invitation, so I think maybe you should stay here forever.” A man’s voice was heard from a distance away.

“Let’s see if you have the power to stop us!” The captain sneered at the man, then flashed across the air and flew at the man within a blink. If he had guessed right, the one who started the conversation was the only level-seven superpower possessor in All Beings Base for the time being.

“Me? Oh, you got it wrong. We have a girl here who wants to play with you. You can have some fun with her first.” It was Lin Feng talking to the man with a peaceful tone.

The captain followed Lin Feng’s voice as soon as possible. However, the one waiting for him there wasn’t Lin Feng, but a tiny, pink girl. What surprised the captain was the fact that he did not detect the girl’s vibe, not even after he saw her!

Only when the pink figure rose into the sky and darted up to him did he see her clearly. That was a teenage girl! She was wearing a white dress, but her body was glowing with a dim fire. Her pair of long ponytails fluttered in the air, looking greatly impressive. What caught the man’s attention was that the girl was wearing a pair of sunglasses in night!

Puff! The fire on Qiu Lili’s body boosted like an enormous lotus blooming in the air the moment she rose into the sky, illuminating the area tens of meters around her. As the fire grew stronger, a stream of scorching hot air spread in all directions. The whole area instantly became like an oven, and even the air seemed to be burned.

In the meantime, a powerful stream of energy spread as well, suppressing the short captain, who was not far away from Qiu Lili.

“You! Who are you!” Being suppressed by Qiu Lili’s vibe which was released suddenly, the short captain immediately changed his bland expression. He paused in the air above her and wore a look of surprise. He popped his eyes as he stared at her and observed with shock.

“I’m someone from THE All Beings Base. You guys don’t seem like friends. Do you think you can hurt us easily because we’re a small base? Well, I’m gonna prove how wrong you are!” Qiu Lili’s eyes were covered by the sunglasses, so the enemy didn’t know that she was a zombie.

Her powerful vibe was almost as strong as that of a level-eight being. She hadn’t entered level-eight yet, but she was at the top level among all the level-seven ones.

The captain was at level-seven, but he hadn’t reached the peak of that level yet. He was merely a medium-high-graded one among all at his level. Therefore, facing Qiu Lili, who had her power fully released, he fell into a disadvantage immediately.

More importantly, he did not know about the existence of Qiu Lili, so her sudden appearance surprised him. Thankfully, as a captain, he soon calmed himself down despite the shocked look that was still lingering on his face.

He soon responded to Qiu Lili’s provocative words by making a move before she did. He lunged at Qiu Lili and released a weird vibe to wrap himself up.

Qiu Lili stayed exactly where she was but raised an arm. Following her movement, a stream of flame flew out of the enormous fire bloom behind her. Within a blink, a strong gust of wind merged with the fire and grew into a small-scale fiery tornado in the next second, spinning toward the short captain.

The fiery tornado grew larger and larger, stronger and stronger, generating a suction force. Watching the tornado grow, the short captain sensed a greater and greater danger. He knew that he could not let the tornado hit him, but the great suction force limited his mobility.

Being limited by the suction force from the tornado, the captain was much slower than before when he tried to dodge.

Bang! He was a step behind, and the fiery tornado landed on his body.

As the fiery tornado hit the man, his body suddenly released a cloud of white mist. The tornado exploded, but failed to cause any actual harm to the man.

“White mist? What kind of superpower is that?” With curiosity, Qiu Lili looked at the white mist that was drifting around the man’s body.

As the two were fighting in the sky, the others had met their opponents too.

The one hundred men under the captain’s command scattered while groups of people silently showed up in all directions and blocked their ways. The hundred-men divided into groups of ten and scattered to flee, but they only managed to make it to tens of meters away from the building before countless people showed up from the darkness and stopped them.

“W-why are there so many of them?” The woman and her subordinates knitted their brows as they fixed their eyes on the people who had barred the road with disbelief.

“Do you guys want to leave? You have to ask our permission for that! How can you just come and go any time you want? There’s no such rule in our All Beings Base! If you want to leave this place, you have to die first!” A hoarse woman’s voice was heard.

The voice wasn’t pleasant to the ears. It was dry and deep, seemingly uttered from a broken throat, and could barely be recognized as a woman’s voice.

Before long, the people in the darkness showed their faces. They were wearing camouflage suits, hats, and sunglasses. Only the lower half of their faces were seen, so they all seemed rather mysterious.

“You sound quite arrogant! Let’s see if you guys can take our lives!” The woman with a short ponytail erased the surprised look on her face as she stared at those in camouflage suits and said coldly.
