Chapter 239 - 221: 3
The cage flew into midair, its door suddenly swung open, and an infected hairy rat fell out.
If that hairy rat landed on the boat and bit even one person, the rest would quickly turn into zombies, tearing each other apart.
Mai Shengxi expected the scene he had imagined to unfold quickly, and he smirked in contemptuous boredom.
The woman who had dared to meet his gaze earlier was quite his type.
’It wouldn’t be bad to get my hands on her and have a little fun.’
’A pity. We’re in a helicopter, and the base doesn’t accept ordinary people.’
But the scene he had envisioned never appeared. Instead, what happened next left them stunned and thrilled.
The hairy rat was more than halfway down when it was suddenly flung away.
WHOOSH! It was as if it had been launched by some secret weapon.
Yet, the men, women, children, and elderly on the boat looking up at them clearly didn’t have any weapons faster than a bullet in their hands.
And they certainly hadn’t fired at it right in front of them.
’What in the world is going on?’
As if he had discovered something incredible, Camille suddenly ordered Mai Shengxi, "Throw more hairy rats down!"
Mai Shengxi hated taking orders from Camille, but he had no choice but to obey.
Because Camille was more powerful than he was.
In an instant, Mai Shengxi threw several more hairy rats down.
Just like the first one, every single rat was sent flying before it could land on the boat.
It was as if an invisible barrier was protecting the entire vessel.
Their faces lit up with excitement. A superpower user with Barrier Power was exactly what their base desperately needed.
If they could possess such a power, they would become the strongest beings in the base.
Camille and Mai Shengxi’s expressions instantly hardened with determination; they had to capture the superpower user with Barrier Power on that boat.
Once they got the person back to the base, the Holy Mother had a way to transfer their power to them.
And even if the transfer failed, the excavated Superpower Stone would make them even more powerful.
Camille took out a megaphone and addressed the people below in a seemingly sincere tone, "We are the guardians of the Holy Mother Base! We protect the rights and interests of every superpower user. If you step forward, you can return with us to the base and live in peace!"
Hearing Camille’s announcement, Song Yufang said to her husband, "Honey, there’s actually a base for superpower users."
Zhang Aihua’s brow furrowed deeply. "We can’t go. They were just throwing infected hairy rats at us. There’s no way they’re good people."
Song Yufang felt the same way. She squeezed his hand, trying to bolster her own courage. "Jiang Si and the others will find a way to fight them, right?"
"I don’t know," Zhang Aihua said. "Let’s wait and see. If things go south, I’ll take you and the kids and we’ll try to surrender."
It wasn’t just about himself; he had to protect his child and Song Yufang.
Jiang Si didn’t buy their bullshit for a second. She looked up at them coldly and laughed. "Attack them! Shoot to kill!"
The moment Jiang Si raised her hand, a pile of guns and ammunition from her pocket dimension appeared on the deck. Everyone scrambled to pick one up and aimed at the helicopter in the sky.
Seeing Jiang Linhai and the others standing guard outside, the people who had been hiding in the cabins gritted their teeth, summoned their courage, and ran out onto the deck to grab the weapons.
’If we die, we die,’ they thought. ’It’s death one way or another.’
’From this high up, how could they possibly hit us?’
Camille’s attention, however, was fixed on Jiang Si, the one who had given the order.
’So she’s the one with the Barrier Power.’
’A rather attractive woman, at that.’
He was just about to use his Instant Teleportation power to get closer to Jiang Si when—BOOM!
Out of nowhere, the monkey riding the Vulture had thrown bombs at them.
And what’s more, every single one had been tossed with pinpoint accuracy into their cabin.
There wasn’t even time to throw them out.
The instant his helicopter exploded, Camille used his Instant Teleportation power, broke straight through Jiang Si’s Barrier, and appeared in front of her. He wrapped a hand tightly around her neck and said angrily, "Well, baby, aren’t you interesting!"
Jiang Si tried to raise her hand but found she had no strength.
Jiang Linhai attacked Camille with his tentacles, but an electric current flared from Camille’s body, shocking him and throwing him back.
Jiang Si glared fiercely at Camille. As she struggled to breathe, a refrigerator fell out of her pocket dimension, about to crash down on Camille.
But Camille, as if he had anticipated it, simply dragged her with him as he dodged.
Just as Jiang Si was about to launch another attack, Qin Shen’s eyes snapped open. He lunged and bit down hard on Camille.
Bitten by Qin Shen, Camille was completely immobilized.
He couldn’t use any of his powers, and the excruciating pain made him scream for help.
