Chapter 502 - Zhou Yingxues suppressive fire (1/2)
In this world, strange superpowers were constantly emerging. Without seeing it with their own eyes, no one would know just how many strange beings there were in existence.
When night fell, Ren Xiaosu quietly led Zhou Yingxue outside the stronghold. Then Zhou Yingxue “took” out a seed and threw it onto the ground. Without needing to dig any holes or water it, the seed started sprouting immediately and grew rapidly.
Ren Xiaosu could hear the muffled sound of the earth rumbling, but he could not tell that anything was going on underground. The plant that sprouted from the ground did not seem like it had grown very tall and looked at most as large as a coriander plant.
However, when Zhou Yingxue pulled the green plant out of the ground, the ground suddenly opened up into a one-meter-wide tunnel. Zhou Yingxue said, “Just jump right in. I plucked it out early, otherwise, it could have used its roots to create an even larger space underground.”
Ren Xiaosu asked, “What’s the largest size it can create?”
“About the size of a room,” Zhou Yingxue said.
Ren Xiaosu pondered about a room being created at will several dozen meters under the ground. This fucking power would be such an easy way to build a bomb shelter!
“You head down first.” Ren Xiaosu said to Zhou Yingxue, “I’ll follow you.”
Zhou Yingxue pursed her lips at the thought of him not trusting her.
However, she did not make a fuss about it. She just contorted her body and crawled into the tunnel. As she was crawling inside, she caught a glimpse of some light behind her and wondered if Ren Xiaosu was secretly peeking at her from behind. Although Zhou Yingxue was cursing at how shameless he was, she did not dare to protest.
But when they got out of the tunnel, Ren Xiaosu said to Zhou Yingxue, “Head to the rendezvous point first. I still have something I need to attend to.”
After saying that, Ren Xiaosu handed a long case to Zhou Yingxue and told her that there was a sniper rifle inside it. He wanted her to carry it with her.
The main purpose of doing so was to confuse Wu Tong and the others. After all, Zhou Yingxue’s current persona was that of a sniper, so carrying the long case on her back would only make her look more like one.
After he dealt with that, Ren Xiaosu left Zhou Yingxue behind in the stronghold alone. She hurriedly planted some plants to cover the entrance of the tunnel but was left with a sense of helplessness. Didn’t Ren Xiaosu promise to help her with the mission? So why did he leave right after getting into the stronghold?
Fortunately, this wasn’t the Wang Consortium’s stronghold. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so sure that she could avoid all of the surveillance cameras on her own.
Zhou Yingxue rushed all the way to the rendezvous point. How the Zhou Consortium’s strongholds differed from the Wang Consortium’s strongholds was that even if you were to sneak into one of the Zhou Consortium’s strongholds, no one would care about you even if you openly swaggered down the streets.
If it were the Wang Consortium’s strongholds, the artificial intelligence would probably have already reported the presence of an intruder to the police.
After arriving at the meeting place, Zhou Yingxue knocked on the door and went inside. The other hitmen asked, “Where’s your assistant?”
Zhou Yingxue answered calmly, “I got him to handle some matters.” What else could she say?
The hitmen looked at each other and laughed in their heads. That boy toy really couldn’t get into the stronghold after all!
However, they did not explicitly remark about it. After all, Zhou Yingxue was a superhuman and a sniper at that, too, so of course they could not afford to offend her.
