Chapter 194: Plans in Ruins, Vengeful Words?

At the same time.

In the Seoul Shelter.

After Chen Wu returned, he immediately ordered that all superhumans who had joined the shelter in the past twenty days be gathered in one place, separated from the main underground city.

This was to prevent anyone from causing trouble if they didn't want to leave.

Not only superhumans, but all survivors who had joined in the past twenty days were also ordered to be gathered.

To prevent any slip through the net!

Chen Wu definitely trusted Zhao Zheng's words, as there was no reason for Zhao Zheng to deceive him.

Standing in the surveillance room, Chen Wu glanced at the time, which was already past eight in the evening.

Then, his gaze shifted to the surveillance screens.

There were six screens, each showing a different room.

The top three rooms contained all the people who had joined the shelter in the past twenty days.

The bottom three rooms showed the survivors he had brought in today, but the Han family was not among them.

This was because Chen Wu valued the healing child and gave them special treatment, allowing them to enter the city early.

"Director, as per your instructions, all the people who joined the shelter in the past twenty days have been gathered!" a muscular man reported.

Chen Wu nodded, then asked, somewhat uneasy, "Everyone is here? Including the blind ones?"

"Yes, Director!" the muscular man replied firmly, "I led the search personally; no one was missed."

Chen Wu relaxed a bit and asked, "Did you encounter any resistance during the search?"

The muscular man replied, "Resistance? They wouldn't dare even if they had the guts! Even if they're unhappy, they have to keep it to themselves. This place won't tolerate their unruly behavior."

The muscular man's tone was very authoritative, suggesting he was also a powerful superhuman.

Chen Wu smiled and looked at the surveillance screens without speaking.

The muscular man, curious, asked, "Director, why did you suddenly gather these people? Are there spies among them?"

"It's even more serious than that!" Chen Wu said, "I received reliable information that these people are not from our world. They are pretending to be superhumans with ulterior motives."

"Originally, I wouldn't care what they do as long as it doesn't affect the shelter. But using the shelter as a shield is out of the question!"

Hearing this, the few people in the surveillance room were shocked.

"From other worlds?"

One of them looked very incredulous.

However, due to their trust in Chen Wu, no one questioned him.

The muscular man quickly composed himself and asked, "Using the shelter as a shield? What do you mean, Director?"

Chen Wu explained, "Their outsider status has been discovered by an unknown entity. After midnight, they will be marked. At that time, a large number of monsters, and even aberrations, will come to hunt them."

"If we let them stay in the shelter, it will bring a catastrophic disaster to the shelter!"

This statement shocked everyone again.

No one could have imagined such a bizarre situation.

However, with the existence of aberrations, it didn't seem so impossible.

Thinking of aberrations, they all felt a chill.

If aberrations invaded the underground city, the hundreds of thousands of people there would definitely...

"Director, are all these people from other worlds?" someone asked.

Chen Wu shook his head, "I can't be sure, but after midnight, the eyes of the outsiders will turn red, making it easy to identify them."

Hearing this, the muscular man understood, "No wonder there are so many blind superhumans. They must have known their eyes would change, so they pretended to be blind to hide it."

He paused, then angrily cursed, "Damn, what a bunch of selfish animals!"

His expression was one of deep resentment, as if he wanted to kill them all right now.

At this moment.

A young man suddenly asked, "Director, what if someone gouges out their own eyes?"

Before Chen Wu could answer, someone beside him scolded, "Stupid, doesn't that just admit their guilt? Why even ask?"

The young man realized this and blushed.

...

At the same time.

The "superhumans" locked in the rooms were also talking.

"What the hell is going on? Why did they suddenly bring us to the isolation room? I'm not sick!"

"Yeah! I was just about to go to sleep..."

"Ha, at this time, don't you understand the purpose of isolating us? "Our identities have been exposed."

"What identities? What are you talking about?"

"Brother, is there still a need to pretend? After midnight, everyone will have to reveal their true forms. What's the point of keeping up the act?"

"Damn it! How did they find out our real identities? Who leaked the secret?"

"It definitely wasn't us. We're on the same side, so there's no way one of us would be foolish enough to sell everyone out. Only an outsider could do something like this."

"Damn it, if I find out who it is, I'll kill them!"

"What should we do now? Are they going to wipe us out?"

"They probably won't. According to my analysis, Director Chen isn't the type to do something like this. If he wanted to, he would have done it already. Keeping us locked up is probably just a way to identify us clearly before sending us outside."

"Huh? Outside? It's dangerous out there, especially with the darkness and our red tags attracting monsters. Isn't that like asking for death?"

"So, the only option we have now is to choose to return after midnight!"

"Damn it, I can't accept this! I know a senior who once stayed in this shelter for a full 42 days... Why are we so unlucky?"

"It's possible that someone doesn't approve of what we're doing. After all, by staying here and not leaving, we're only bringing disaster to the shelter."

"So what? Do people in the Spirit Realm not count as people?"

"Can you shut up for a second? Don't you see the surveillance cameras here? If you anger them, they might come in and kill you before midnight!"

"Why do we have to wait until midnight to choose to return? Can't we do it now?"

"Because the task evaluation standard is in seven-day increments. After tonight at midnight, it will be exactly 21 days. Understand? You idiot!"

"So, my pretending to be blind for these 20 days was all for nothing?"

A group of Extraordinary Beings gathered and discussed.

After analyzing the situation, they quickly understood what was happening.

Many sighed in dismay, feeling helpless...

...

Time passed quickly.

Midnight finally arrived.

At the stroke of midnight, in the surveillance room, most of the people in the three rooms above had their eyes turn red.

On the surveillance screens, their eyes looked like those of wild beasts, which was a bit frightening.

Many people were startled by this sight!

Soon after, an alarm sounded.

A soldier reported, "Just now, there were obvious abnormalities in several nearby monster zones. Those monsters seem to be heading towards the shelter."

Upon hearing this, several leaders in the surveillance room burst into curses.

"It's true..."

"Those bastards!"

"Fortunately, the Director is wise. Otherwise, we'd be done for because of them!"

"Director, what should we do with these people?"

"If it were up to me, I'd say it's best to execute them all."

Li Wu sighed heavily and then stood up, saying, "Let's go! We'll send them off."

At that moment,

A young man next to the surveillance screen suddenly exclaimed, "Director, look! Those people... they're disappearing right where they are!"

Hearing this, everyone turned to look at the surveillance screens.

Indeed, they saw Extraordinary Beings disappearing in place, one after another.

It was as if they were vanishing into thin air, looking extremely eerie.

"W-what's going on here?"

"Where did they go?"

"Quick! Notify the underground city to increase their vigilance!"

Li Wu shook his head, saying, "No need to panic. These people have probably chosen to return to their own world."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, finding this method of crossing over somewhat unbelievable.

After a brief wait,

They saw that most of the outsiders had left.

However, one person remained in the isolation room, still watching the surveillance cameras, clearly with something on their mind.

At that moment,

Another message arrived, stating that the nearby monsters had reached the shelter's perimeter and asking if they should open fire.

Li Wu's expression turned cold upon hearing this. He stood up and strode towards the surveillance room.

Once inside, he glared at the red-eyed young man and said in a cold voice, "What? Still not leaving? Do you want me to send you off?"

He knew this young man, who possessed the same superhuman ability as him. Originally, he had high hopes for the young man and was even willing to overlook his skin color, considering taking him on as a disciple...

He never expected! He turned out to be such a disaster!

"Director, I'd like to ask, who informed on us?"

(End of Chapter)

The young man spoke up, "Do you think I'll tell you?" Chen Wu scoffed, "Get out of here! If you don't leave now, you'll be staying here forever!"

As he spoke, arcs of electricity appeared in Chen Wu's eyes, and lightning flickered in his hands.

It was clear that he was getting ready to take action.

The young man remained silent.

In his mind, he silently recited 'return' and then said, "Director, in one year, I will return. By then, I won't be the same person I am now. Don't regret your choice today!"

As his words trailed off, the young man vanished into thin air within ten seconds.

Chen Wu's expression turned grim.

The young man's parting words were clearly a threat! However, Chen Wu didn't take the threat too seriously.

He couldn't believe that the young man would grow strong enough to pose a threat to him within a year.

...

After confirming that all the Extraordinary Beings had left, Chen Wu immediately headed to the command room.

"How are those monsters doing?" he asked.

In the command room, the leader on duty was puzzled, "Director, tonight's situation is very unusual. Those monsters were going crazy earlier, approaching our shelter, but now they've calmed down and retreated on their own... It's baffling!"

Chen Wu, upon hearing this, relaxed a bit, and then said, "It's normal."

The leader was even more puzzled...

...

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, five days had gone by.

In the Dead City, within the presidential suite, Zhao Zheng and Song Haitang sat on the sofa, chatting casually.

Suddenly, both of them seemed to sense something, and their expressions changed slightly as they looked in the same direction.

"It's only been five days since the resurrection?"

Zhao Zheng muttered, "This doesn't quite match the data. According to the information, killing one should keep them down for seven days, right?"

Song Haitang thought for a moment and smiled, "The data shows that a high-yield nuclear blast destroyed half of the monster's body. The monster needs to regenerate its body, so it will take some time."

"You used the Shock Fruit Technique, which can shake its entire body, but the body remains. Resurrection will definitely take some time."

This analysis was well-reasoned.

Zhao Zheng nodded in agreement.

Then, he added, "Fortunately, I tested it first and didn't rush off. Otherwise, our plan would have failed."

If he had believed the data and left after killing one, returning seven days later, Song Haitang would have either died or returned to Blue Star.

After all, with Song Haitang's current strength, she couldn't challenge the Aberration."

"Haitang, wait for me here. I'll be back soon!"

Zhao Zheng stood up and walked out of the room.

The next moment, a loud sonic boom reverberated from outside, causing the skyscraper to tremble.

Song Haitang watched Zhao Zheng's departing figure and smiled slightly.

Before long, a deafening roar echoed from the distance, followed by the Aberration's bizarre wails as it died...

Then, the ground shook.

Song Haitang felt the entire building swaying.

Fortunately, the shaking wasn't too intense.

For a commercial building like this, the quality standards are higher than residential buildings, and the seismic resistance is naturally better. This level of earthquake wasn't a big deal.

Unless they encountered a dishonest developer who faked the building's quality, even if it was substandard construction, Song Haitang wasn't worried.

With her current strength, she could easily protect herself if she jumped from the building.

Soon enough, the earthquake stopped.

Zhao Zheng also returned, flying back from the distance.

"This time, I smashed the monster's body to pieces. I wonder how long it will take for it to resurrect," Zhao Zheng said with a smile.

Song Haitang asked, "Are you going to hunt down other Aberrations?"

She knew that Zhao Zheng had been studying the Aberration's data.

Zhao Zheng nodded, "Those few Aberrations with tricky abilities, we can let them go. But there are three Aberrations with powerful physiques and strength, I can't miss the chance to get some good stuff."

Song Haitang nodded in agreement, "Alright, I understand. I'll wait here for you."

"Okay!" Zhao Zheng said, "If you encounter danger, don't hesitate to choose to return!"

"It's not a big deal if we fail once. Your life is the most important."

Song Haitang obediently nodded, "I understand."
