Chapter 252 - 226: Black Hole
Jiang Si tried to persuade Lu Zhifeng and Niu Niu to stay, but they had long considered everyone family and adamantly shook their heads.
With no other choice, everyone had to depart together.
However, Bao’er was left in the care of Zhang Aihua’s wife, Song Yufang.
If Bao’er’s mother returned, they were to give Bao’er back to her.
The main reason was that both Song Yufang and Zhang Aihua would be able to recognize Jiao Chunzi.
Having taken care of Bao’er for so long, Shen Baoying’s face was streaked with tears as she looked at the innocent little girl in her arms.
Jiang Si left behind more than enough milk powder, and Shen Baoying resolutely boarded the helicopter.
The helicopter flew east along the coastline, and everyone wore a downcast expression.
Jiang Si looked down from the helicopter and was surprised to discover several volcanoes erupting in different regions. In the areas covered by lava, sparks and embers filled the sky. Zombies, incapable of feeling pain, resembled walking fireballs. They continued to move even as they burned, only to be consumed by the flames eventually.
This made Jiang Si worry whether Jiao Chunzi had managed to escape the volcanic crisis.
Subconsciously, she began searching below for any sign of Jiao Chunzi.
Jiao Chunzi had a locator on her, but it would only register a signal if they were close enough, within a specific range.
Just as they were about to cross the ocean and fly to another continent, the locator suddenly revealed Jiao Chunzi’s location.
She appeared to be on that very continent.
It was highly likely she had been captured.
Jiang Si couldn’t help but worry.
This continent was called the Oli Continent, and it was also a massive Ring Sea continent.
After the helicopter entered the Oli Continent, the atmosphere felt distinctly quiet and eerie.
The destination was displayed right ahead, confirming Jiang Si’s suspicion: Jiao Chunzi had been captured and brought here.
Jiang Linhai, who had been sitting controlled in the co-pilot’s seat the entire time, suddenly spoke. "Stop!"
Jiang Si glanced down. There was nothing but towering mountains and rocks below. ’How are we supposed to land here?’
But the person behind the scenes gave her no time to think. A knife was plunged fiercely into Jiang Linhai’s body, shocking Jiang Si so much that she immediately stopped piloting, leaving the helicopter hovering in mid-air.
When Jiang Si moved to heal Jiang Linhai, she wasn’t stopped. The perpetrator was likely afraid that Jiang Linhai might actually die, or that pushing Jiang Si too far would backfire.
Jiang Si’s energy flowed into Jiang Linhai’s body, and his bloody wound healed quickly. She let out a sigh of relief.
However, even as she infused him with her energy, she couldn’t discover how he was being controlled.
Suddenly, a strange black hole materialized before them. Jiang Si’s brow furrowed, and worried expressions appeared on everyone’s faces. Qin Shen gripped Jiang Si’s hand tightly. The next second, the black hole swallowed the entire helicopter.
Everything went dark. After just a few seconds of violent jolting, light returned to reveal they were now inside an enclosed mountain range.
The moment the helicopter touched down, a group of people in matching uniforms surrounded them.
Jiang Si hadn’t yet felt anything amiss when the others suddenly exclaimed, "Sisi, our superpowers are gone!"
Startled, Jiang Si looked back and saw the same expression on Qin Shen’s face.
In that same instant, she checked her personal dimension.
Thankfully, her superpower was still intact. She quickly feigned the reaction of having lost her own power and shot a panicked look at Jiang Linhai.
Jiang Linhai stepped out of the helicopter and, in a sanctimonious tone, commanded the uniformed people, "Lock them all up for now!"
"Yes, sir."
The controlled Jiang Linhai then turned, selected Qin Shen as a backup for control, and had him taken away separately.
Watching them enter a base that suddenly opened up, Jiang Si finally understood. ’The mastermind can only control superpower users.’
Jiang Si was pushed and shoved by the group into an empty storage room.
The lecherous men stared intently at Jiang Si and the others like they were a delicious meal, demanding they strip off all their clothes.
Niu Niu trembled with fear, secretly clenching her fists. Bobby’s gaze was grim; if Jiang Si hadn’t held it back, it would have already charged forward and torn the men to shreds.
’This base must be covered in surveillance cameras,’ Jiang Si thought. She raised her head, her gaze landing on a camera, and then gave the men a deadly smile.
The leader of the men immediately tried to capture Jiang Si with spider silk, intending to "play with" her.
The next second, Jiang Si created a Barrier. At the same instant, the surveillance camera was destroyed. The men were instantly sent flying into the wall by the Barrier’s force, creating a tremendous CRASH.
Aside from the leader, who possessed a superpower, the others were all ordinary people.
