Chapter 441: Relocation
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
"Something's wrong!"
Leader Cai and his team had also discovered something was amiss after happily returning from Bull's Head Mountain.
"Woong! Woong!"
"Woong! Woong!"
Noises of wings fluttering rapidly could be heard from the small town in front. Large amounts of black dots gathered and they looked like dark clouds.
Faint screams were also heard from the town, it was evident that the town had already become a living hell.
"Moo! Moo!"
Suddenly, a building collapsed and a gigantic cow charged out of the house.
Originally, the cow's body was rather normal. However, after it roared angrily, its body enlarged greatly. Even its hide became much thicker and there was a layer of sparkling substance on it. Evidently, its special ability was awakened.
In spite of that, part of the "dark clouds" in the skies still flew towards the cow and landed on its back.
The giant cow shrieked numerous times and lost its footing, falling to the ground. It then rapidly became emaciated and almost became a set of skeleton in a blink of the eye.
"Those are... mosquitoes?"
Lorita's face turned ghastly as she saw such a scene, "Those are mutated blood-sucking mosquitoes!"
"Can't believe nature has evolved so quickly in one night..."
Fang Yuan remembered that the last two occurrences caused many normal animals to accumulate sufficient resources to undergo mutation. Thus, before the third occurrence, they were just one step away from mutating and this explained why ultimately, after last night, many demons appeared.
'It's already this bad on land... what about the deep oceans that even I feared?"
As Fang Yuan thought of such, he could not help but sigh.
Evidently, the third occurrence brought about the evolution of all living matters on Planet Earth. However, such a thing was not something to be happy about for humans.
"Woong! Woong!"
After that clump of dark clouds sucked dry the mutated cow, they saw Fang Yuan and his group. It was as though they discovered their new targets and immediately darted over.
Upon closer look, the group realised those mosquitoes were the size of a thumb. Some of them were even as large as a fist. Their bellies were full and swollen, akin to a blood-red crystal.
"Detestable!"
Leader Cai shouted in anger as he opened his palms and threw a huge fireball towards the dark clouds. The fireball exploded and amber flames raged, burning numerous mosquitoes into ashes.
"Woong! Woong!"
Even though Leader Cai had such a special ability, it did not do much against the humongous cloud of mosquitoes. The dark clouds above the town split as a whole clump of them swarmed over, enveloping the skies above the group of them and causing them to feel nervous and fearful.
"Quick! Let's go!"
A single mosquito could be killed with a slap by a normal person. However, such a large torrential swarm of mosquitoes even struck fear in Lorita and she exclaimed, "Daddy! Save me!"
"You are acting, right?"
Fang Yuan rolled his eyes and reassured, "Don't be scared, just walk right through it!"
Fang Yuan opened up his Spiritual Arena. Any mosquitoes within 10,000 feet of it would fall to the ground immediately and die.
Not before long, a layer of carcass piled on the group. The thick and dense layer of black specks and blood mixed together was very nauseating.
"Woong! Woong!"
After the cloud of mosquitoes lost many of their fellow mosquitoes, the swarm of mosquitoes immediately retreated back to its main cloud of mosquitoes above the small town. They then moved towards to east slowly as they obviously did not want to suffer any more losses.
"Thank you very much, mister!"
Leader Cai immediately thanked Fang Yuan. He then wiped the cold sweat of his face, "This is the second time you have saved us..."
"Leader!"
Suddenly, Wang Xin tugged Leader Cai's sleeve. Her ashen face was looking towards where the cloud of mosquitoes was leaving to.
"That is... towards Banyan Tree City's downtown!"
"Oh no!"
Leader Cai bid farewell and immediately left urgently with his teammates.
They were rushing to relocate and protect their families. Although before they left, they still looked at Fang Yuan as though they wanted to say something to him. However, they did not say anything in the end.
"Hmm, still rather smart of them!"
Fang Yuan raised his head slightly as he watched them.
"If they requested anything more from me, I would have broken their legs and left them here!"
"Daddy, you're so bad!"
Lorita's eyeballs turned and she then smiled sweetly, "This mosquito swarm isn't moving that fast, with their speed, they still can reach in time to relocate their families!"
"Yea, it's time for us to return too!"
Fang Yuan snapped his fingers and the three of them lifted off the ground and rushed to the skies with astonishing speed at once. They then flew towards Banyan Tree City.
"Hmm….. looks like Zhao Daniu isn't dumb, he has already begun to prepare to fight back and relocate..."
As they flew over the city's downtown, they could see a long line of traffic slowly leaving Banyan Tree City. Furthermore, at the side closer to the blood-sucking mosquitoes, there were soldiers and artilleries stationed there, ready to shoot down the mosquitoes.
"Eh?"
At the courtyard house they stayed at, there was a person there that made Angel exclaim.
"Lin Ming?"
Angel slowly descended from the skies and looked at the high school student that had red eyes.
"It's me..."
Lin Ming's mouth was agape like a toad, "I... I saw the emergency warning and came over to tell you all to relocate quickly... Also, I finally completed the 9th Stance... You are a mutant?"
When he saw the mysterious shop owner and her two daughters descend from the skies, Lin Ming had already guessed his identity. At the same time, he felt a tinge of anguish in his heart.
If a person completed the 9th Stance, it meant that he was rather talented and could possibly awaken his own special ability or cultivate Daoist spells. However, it would still not be comparable to a mutant that had already awakened.
"Thank you, Ming! Do you have anything else? Your parents must be worried?" Angel smiled and replied.
"Also... my parents found a contact! We can follow behind the army and evacuate together... But looks like you all would not need it!"
Lin Ming scratched his head and awkwardly muttered a few sentences. Then, an expensive car arrived and began honking irritably.
"Sigh... sister-in-law, Little Ming really doesn't understand the urgency of the situation. If he still doesn't want to leave now, is he staying to become a dried up corpse? I received news that the first swarm of blood-sucking mosquitoes is reaching the downtown in two hours!"
A man that seemed like an official and who was fat as a pig with a big belly came out from the car. The moment he saw Angel, his eyes lit up and he said, "You must be Miss Angel? If you don't want to die, hurry up and evacuate this place, don't delay everyone's time."
"Uncle, they are..."
Lin Ming's face was anxious as he watched his uncle.
Lin Ming had already seen and realised this family was a group of powerful mutants, but his uncle did not know that!
Although his uncle was very haughty as he had connections to the government, he was nothing compared to the mutants. Nevertheless, he did not want his own family to suffer.
"I don't care who they are! It's almost doomsday, there's no time to protect our international friends?"
The obese uncle smiled and his eyes glistened. It was evident that he was not a stupid person.
"Miss Angel is a smart lady, she would naturally know how to make the right choice. Although my Lin Family is nothing much in Banyan Tree City, we are still the relatives of some soldiers..."
"Sorry, mister!"
Angel grinned and continued, "I don't really understand what you mean..."
"You..."
Unspoken rules were called unspoken rules as they were not meant to be said out loud.
The fatty's face flashed with a hint of anger as he saw how this Caucasian lady was so impudent. However, he then felt rather uncertain and uneasy.
Although communications between countries had already broken off, how the future would be like was still hard to tell. Thus, the uncle did not want to accidentally offend someone he did not know well.
"Toot! Toot!"
At this moment, a whole row of ten over military trucks stopped outside. Zhao Daniu and Ye Yingzi stepped out from the truck and walked towards the courtyard house.
"Eh? They are... Chief Zhao? And Colonel Commandant Ye?"
The fatty's eyes lit up at once and immediately went forward to suck up to them, "I am Little Niu, we met before once at Purple God Hotel..."
Although the fatty uncle had some connections, the two of them were the real bosses of Banyan Tree City that held great authority. Especially faced with such a situation, they were even more crucial and held greater powers.
"You are Lin Niu?"
Zhao Daniu scratched his head and finally remembered his name.
"Eh... why are you here?"
"Oh, this nephew of mine and Miss Angel are classmates, we wanted to bring her and her family along to evacuate..."
Lin Niu was rather shocked and taken aback. More importantly, he was secretly relieved that he did not fall out with them just now.
He never imagined how well connected Angel's family was. If he really fell out with them just now, the outcome would not be something he would ever want to see. With such a though, he almost began to drip beads of cold sweat.
"Mister Lei does not need anyone to protect him, you can retreat immediately!"
Zhao Daniu went forward to the door as though he was a door guard and held Lorita's suitcase. He then placed the suitcase in the back of the truck and said, "Mister, please!"
"Oh, just nice, I have something to ask you all!"
Fang Yuan nodded and followed Zhao Daniu and Ye Yingzi into the truck. The motorcade then horned as they began their journey.
Afterwards, Lin Niu could finally wipe off the cold sweat on his face. He stared at Lin Ming seriously, "You... I couldn't even tell! Tell me truthfully, what is your relationship with this family?"
"I..."
Lin Ming had a conflicted expression, "I don't know too. This boss is the shop owner of the wood carving shop I frequently visit... Why did he suddenly become the VIP of the authorities?"
Lin Ming touched the carving inside his school bag and appeared low-spirited.
As Angel had such a background, the possibility of him successfully courting her was probably close to zero?
"So it's like that….."
Lin Niu smacked Lin Ming's shoulder so hard that he almost staggered as he said, "Don't worry and just chase after her boldly! I will support you!"
Lin Niu was very clear that this world was really descending into chaos.
In such a chaotic time, only military power and special abilities were the true powers!
Whether if they wanted to settle down or progress rapidly, such a foundation was needed. The appearance of Fang Yuan and his family made Lin Niu saw a glimmer of hope!
"My brother and sister-in-law... this is related to our life and death! You have to think carefully!"
Lin Niu looked at the middle-aged couple and solemnly advised.
"Rest assured, brother! We know!"
The couple agreed and completely disregarded their rule of not allowing romantic relationships at such a young age.
