Chapter 1277: Give up on the Mission in Sea City

At the moment, the people stationed near Sea City Base weren’t taking any action even though they were supposed to. They stayed where they were to discuss something that they just found out.

“Are you sure that’s real? Why would Wu Chengyue put the two kids in that small base? Isn’t Sea City Base a safer place?” The man in a combat suit looked at the other man confusedly.

It was a bearded man that he was looking at, who said, “That’s what I’ve found out. Since we couldn’t find those kids in Sea City Base, I think Wu Chengyue has very likely sent them to All Beings Base. He’s done that many times before, especially during the most recent half a year. Before his son was born, he often sent his daughter to All Beings Base. He hasn’t been leaving his daughter under the care of Xiao Yunlong and Meng Yue, whom he trusted the most as he used to for a long time.”

The man in a combat suit crossed his arms and lowered his head as he thought for a moment and said, “We can’t find the two kids in Sea City Base, but that doesn’t mean they were sent to another base. After all, Sea City Base is huge. It’s easy to hide two kids in that base.”

“Should we send someone to inform Captain and see if he has any discoveries?” the bearded man pondered briefly and said.

“What should we do next?” the man in a combat suit asked him.

The bearded man thought for a moment, then said while rubbing his beard with his fingers, “Since the information we have turns out to be wrong, I think we should give up on the mission. Even though Sea City Base currently doesn’t have many powerful people guarding it, it still has a large population. We haven’t located the targets yet, so we don’t need to start a real fight against them. We might as well help Captain to accomplished the mission in All Beings Base first.”

The man in a combat suit glanced at the others on the scene, then said, “What do you guys think?”

“I agree.”

“Agree.”

“Agree.”

The others all nodded to agree with the bearded man.

“Alright, since you’ve all agreed, let head to the All Beings Base now,” the man in a combat suit nodded and made the decision. Next, the group of people started gathering their people and packing their belongings. Soon, they got into the vehicles and headed toward All Beings Base.

The battle which was taking place near All Beings Base was intense at the moment. The invisible Yun Meng had been guarding a road near the battlefield to make sure that no Huaxia people could run. At the moment, she was turning to approach another Huaxia man, who was preparing to flee.

The level-five man was feeling a little relieved, as no one was chasing him and no one could be seen around him. He thought he was safe, and he even planned to rest a little. However, an invisible figure quietly climbed onto the tree behind him and leaped down all of a sudden, sinking her claws into the man’s head.

Puff! The man’s expression froze on his face before he could even scream.

Crack! Yun Meng ripped off his skull and dug the level-five energy nucleus out of his pink brain matter.

The energies contained in these superpowered human nuclei were getting thinner and thinner, seeing which she clicked her tongue and wiped the nucleus on the dead man’s clothes. After that, she spent a few seconds observing the energy contained in the nucleus, then put it into her pocket and zipped it up with a frown.

Next, she raised her head and hopped onto a tall building, carefully looking around to search for anyone who attempted to run. She and Lin Kui each guarded one side of the battlefield; on the other side was All Beings Base. They formed a triangle and trapped the group of Huaxia people.

Of course, the two of them weren’t only ones guarding the roads near the battlefield. A group of level five and six zombies were doing the same job.

Before long, the entire troop from Huaxia Base was cleaned out except for the short man, who was the strongest among all.

Bang! Bang! Bang! The short man fired three times at the fiery dragon.

Boom! The enormous fiery dragon exploded: His bullets actually detonated Qiu Lili’s energy.

Qiu Lili was very unhappy to see the man break her fiery dragon with a gun. She pouted and turned down her lips corners as she snorted coldly. Then, she raised an arm and released another fiery dragon. A stream of wind power was sent into the new fiery dragon.

Along with a fierce gust of wind, the new fiery dragon swooped down at the short man much faster than the last dragon. In the meantime, Qiu Lili wielded both arms and sent four or five more fiery dragons toward the man.

The man stayed perfectly calm. While dodging unhurriedly, he kept trying to convince Qiu Lili, “Calm down and think about what I just said. This All Beings Base is so small, and it’s relying on Sea City Base for survival. You are a level-seven being. You deserve a better place! What can that woman possibly give you? Whatever she can give you, we’ll double it. Isn’t that good enough?”

While speaking, he released a thick cloud of mist with one hand and fired the gun at the fiery dragons with the other.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Every bullet he shot accurately detonated a fiery dragon. After that, he disappeared into the thick mist, so the last fiery dragon lost its target.

Qiu Lili couldn’t sense his vibe, so all she could do was to make the fiery dragon fly in the air.

As she was looking for her target, the man showed up on top of a building behind her and raised the gun to fire at her back.

Bang! The moment the gunshot was heard, the bullet was already less than two meters away from Qiu Lili’s back.

“Roar!” At that very moment, a raging beast roar was heard from near behind the short man. The man immediately turned and saw an enormous black beast pounce on him. The beast’s claws shone with a silver light.

He hurriedly got down on the ground and rolled to the side to dodge.

“Hrrr…” The beast missed its target and landed on the ground along with a gust of wind. Then, it turned and fixed its eyes on the man. In the next second, the huge black panther turned around to look at Qiu Lili, who was still in the sky.

Qiu Lili was floating in the sky, perfectly unharmed. She pointed at the short man and yelled at the black panther, “Why are you looking at me? Bite him!”

After confirming that Qiu Lili was fine, the black panther immediately turned back and jumped on the man, wagging his long tail.

The man launched a surprise attack. But thankfully, Qiu Lili reacted quickly. She turned her body and easily dodged that bullet.

Lin Kui was just startled, as he came to assist her and happened to watch the bullet fly toward her.
