At that moment, a strong gust of wind blew the giant dog that attempted to charge again further away.

“You two, cut the crap and move!” A man yelled at the two girls.

Qin Yu held Jiang Si’s hand and ran forward, swinging an arm backward and throwing another fireball at the dog. Right at that moment, a white figure flashed over and pounced on the two girls, bringing up a sharp beam of light.

“Miaoooo…”

The mutated cat screamed shrilly as it brandished its sharp claws and swiftly jumped on the two girls. It was even larger than a large dog.

Bang!

Qin Yu quickly raised both hands and created a firewall to defend against the cat. After that, she turned around, holding Jiang Si’s hand while running.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Gunshots were heard from behind. Qin Yu didn’t know if the bullets had hit the cat or not.

“Hurry up! The Upper City District is in front of us. Hang in there,” Qin Yu kept running together with Jiang Si. Jiang Si’s footsteps were weak and disordered, and her breath was shallow and uneven. Her round face was ghastly pale. While running, she pressed a hand tightly on her chest as if her heart might explode once she took that hand away.

“Miaoooo!” The mutated cat was bounced back by the fire wall, but it immediately rushed up again. Its sky-blue eyes were now glowing with a red light. Two sharp teeth were sticking out of its mouth, making its face look ferocious. The cat chased closely behind Qin Yu and Jiang Si and attacked them madly.

Qin Yu was a pretty girl in her twenties, at least five feet and seven inches tall. Her slightly curly long hair were tied at the back of her head in a ponytail, swinging as she was running. Her legs were slender and strong; a belt wrapped tightly around her slim waist.

She had a pretty face that wore a fierce look, glancing at the huge cat that was chasing her with a frown.

Noticing Jiang Si’s face that was turning paler and paler, Qin Yu abruptly stopped, then turned and bent over to carry the former, who was only about five-feet tall, in her arms.

“Yu! Put me down! Just leave me!” Jiang Si gave a start and soon started struggling.

“Jiang, don’t move,” Qin Yu carried Jiang Si easily, running forward nimbly without slowing down even a little bit. “Don’t worry! We’ll get there safely,” While running, she comforted Jiang Si.

It required both hands to carry the girl, so Qin Yu couldn’t use her power anymore. Therefore, she jumped from side to side to dodge the crazy cat’s attacks.

Bang! Crack… The white cat clawed a broken wall nearby and tore it into small pieces.

As the cat attempted to bite Qin Yu and Jiang Si, it paused all of a sudden, then turned its red eyes from the two girls to the other directions. It looked into that direction with curiosity, then sniffed at the air, seemingly being attracted by something.

Then, the cat suddenly let out a shrill scream before turning and darting toward another direction. Following that cat’s scream, the other cats in the surrounding all turned and made a dive for that direction.

A few mutated dogs at level five or six still lingered nearby, attacking the people.

Finding that the crisis from earlier was suddenly gone, Qin Yu and Jiang Si hurriedly found a place to take cover and rest.

“Jiang, how do you feel? Are you okay?” Qin Yu knew that Jiang Si wasn’t in good condition. The running must have caused a heavy burden on her body.

Jiang Si’s superpower was special. She wasn’t able to absorb any energy, so every time she used her power, her own energy, that was also her life-force, would be consumed. That was why she had been growing weaker and weaker despite her young age.

Jiang Si gasped for air. Quite a while later, the dull pain from her heart finally faded. Her face was still pale though. “I’m good,” she nodded and said.

“It’s so weird. Why did they suddenly run away?” Qin Yu turned to the direction that those mutated cats went in confusedly, her eyes beautiful and dashing.

“Yu, let’s go,” Jiang Si patted her on the shoulder and said, “There’re still a few mutated dogs.”

The danger still existed.

Qin Yu quickly helped Jiang Si up from the ground. This time, the latter strongly refused to let Qin Yu carry her again. She was short and scrawny, weighing even less than thirty-five kilograms. But still, carrying her could cause difficulties for Qin Yu.

Far away on top of a building, a zombie quietly watched the group of people, then turned invisible.

In All Beings Base…

“Captain Huo, if you have anything to say to me, just say it,” Liu Jun looked at the man in front of her and said to him patiently.

“Um… So this is the thing. Recently, some bad people might be having their eyes on our farm. To keep our farm secret, I hope that you can cooperate with me,” Huo Antong said to her smilingly, his smile seeming honest and convincing.

“Sure, if that’s what you’re asking me to do. That’s a part of my job, and not a favor,” Liu Jun nodded and said, looking at him with surprise. She wasn’t expecting him to betray those people in order to get close to her.

Those people would be so angry if they knew. Thinking about that, Liu Jun wanted to laugh.

“Can we talk in private then? In fact, this isn’t my responsibility. I’ve crossed the line. I don’t want my colleagues and superiors to know about this,” said Huo Antong with a bitter face.

Liu Jun spent a short while looking at him with confusion. She didn’t understand why Huo Antong was doing that. At last, she nodded with hesitation, “Eh… alright.”

While walking toward an area with no one there, she asked him curiously, “I don’t know why you’re saying all this to me, but thank you. Do you know who those people are?”

Huo Antong followed behind her. A delighted look could be seen from his eyes. Liu Jun’s attitude turned for the better, meaning that he could take a step further.

With a grin, he said, “My job is to keep the base safe. That is only something I heard. I haven’t identified those people yet, so I want your help.”

“Is that so? What do you need me to do then?” Liu Jun nodded.

Huo Antong replied smilingly, “You don’t need to do anything for now. When there’s something that you can do, I’ll teach you how. Is that okay?”

He gave a very kind and nice smile, as if he was really trying to help Liu Jun.

Liu Jun thought for a moment, then nodded and agreed, “Alright then!”

“Good1 Oh, it’s better if no one else knows about our conversation, in case those people hear about this and get prepared,” Huo Antong thought briefly and then reminded her.

“Em, I get it,” Liu Jun nodded again.

After hearing that, Huo Antong left with a smile.
