Chapter 297: Luring the Culprit (I) (2/2)

”Just shut up. Everyone else please turn away.” Luo Yuan said without any facial expression.

Xu Zhiqiang and the others quickly turned around and dared not look or disobey Luo Yuan’s command. The next moment, they heard a tearing sound. Wen Yujie’s shirt was ripped off exposing her quivering breasts. However, this seductive sight did not distract Luo Yuan’s attention. He took a peek and felt that his scalp was tingling. Her belly was almost filled with black gas and her veins looked like black earthworms slowly wriggling. It looked scary and horrible.

Wen Yujie who was blushing on her face also looked down. She shuddered at that sight. Her face suddenly became pale. She looked desperate and tried to break free from Luo Yuan to prevent him from being infected too, ”Quickly get away from here. I can’t be saved…”

Luo Yuan was stunned to the point where he did not hear anything. His left hand tightly grabbed her smooth shoulders and no matter how she struggled he did not move away. Wen Yujie felt his determination to help her and tears began to roll down her cheek.

Luo Yuan raised his right hand and pressed on her chest with a strong force. He turned his Will into treatment. The black gas that was spreading at a fast speed suddenly stopped flowing and after a few seconds, it started to subside.

Wen Yujie was shocked to the point where she had forgotten to struggle. The warmth from Luo Yuan’s palm on her chest calmed her down and reduced the intolerable itch in her throat. She felt extremely comfortable and could not help but groan loudly. When the fear of death disappeared, she recovered feeling embarrassed. Her face became flushed and even her tender fair chest cast a rosy color. Luo Yuan’s warm hand was like magic that made her whole body weak and she could barely stand.

”Are you done?” When Wen Yujie saw that her whole body became white and delicate again, she asked with trembling voice.

Luo Yuan did not speak. He continued for another 10 seconds before he released his palm.

Wen Yujie quickly turned to get dressed but she realized that her clothes here torn off rather than removed. It was as an emergency so it was justified. She could barely cover her chest with what remained.

”Wear this.” Luo Yuan noticed her situation and quickly took off his own coat. This coat was not an equipment but rather a normal one that he obtained a few days ago.

Wen Yujie replied shyly and did not reject. She picked up the coat and carefully put it on. It was kind of comfortable and she enjoyed the warmth and safeness of not having her breasts exposed. When she had this thought in her mind, her face suddenly blushed again.

Luo Yuan was having a slight headache when he noticed her ambiguous look. The feeling that he deliberately controlled earlier seemed to have warmed up again. Xu Zhiqiang and Xiao Baihong turned around and saw that Wen Yujie had completely recovered. They were shocked. Particularly Xu Zhiqiang as the leader of the evolutionary humans… he was certain that Luo Yuan was an earth-based evolutionary human.

”Since when did earth-based evolutionary humans have the ability to heal?” He asked.

”We cannot stay here anymore. We have to get out now.” Luo Yuan’s voice interrupted his musings. ”I suspect that this earthquake has broken a huge crack under the sewer and led out a powerful poisonous mutated beast.” Everyone thought about it and started to worry. They were in a sewer which was dirty and wet. It was the sort of place that could attract all kinds of poisonous beasts.

The mutated beasts in the sewer were not a big threat because it was relatively clean. However, at the bottom of the sewer, there was filthy water which gathered a lot of poisonous insects and animals. It was never cleaned after the completion of Desert City and thus the mutated beasts were most likely upgraded to a more dangerous level.

Prior to this, the shelter had a thick foundation so it could block most of the large-sized mutated beasts. Only a few small mutated beasts could sneak in through the cracks. However, after this earthquake, that will no longer be the case.

”Where are we going if we don’t stay in the sewer?” Xiao Baihong asked with some concern.

”Go to where you are supposed to go.” Luo Yuan hesitated and said. He continued, ”The city has now returned to normal and you are all not wanted people anymore. I believe that they will not change their mind.”

While he was talking, he suddenly had a thought that struck his mind. Perhaps it was the intuition from his heart. He had always suspected that the real mind controller was not dead yet but rather hiding and waiting for the right time to take revenge.

If he continued to analyze based on this thought, the previous two who were executed by the firing squad might not have been the actual culprits. The man might be the real deal but the lady might be an imposter. For a powerful mind controller, controlling a person to kill themselves was too easy.

Luo Yuan thought to himself that if a public leader could be easily controlled by the mind controller to the point where everyone else did not know anything about it, then this mind controller must be very powerful. Luo Yuan had little confidence that he could be completely immune to his or her powers, however, he was probably just scaring himself. Over the past few days, Luo Yuan had been exposed to the public so he or she had the opportunity to control him. Since it did not happen, it became apparent that the enemy had limitations to deal with him. Now that the enemy had lost so many people in the team, the strength of this mind controller should be on the lower end.

Xu Zhiqiang and the rest were the best evolutionary humans in Desert City. Luo Yuan imagined that if he were the hidden mind controller he would not have let go of these people. Perhaps this was an opportunity to lure the mind controller out in the open.
