Chapter 653 - 643: The Lurking Chains
With Ais Wakaz’s departure, the matter seemed to have come to a temporary close, and Wen Wen could finally take a breath.
But the crisis was still very present. In three days’ time, the sixteen timed bombs left by Dr. Feng would detonate, and terrifying plants would burst from their hidden spots, bringing catastrophe to the city.
Merely sixteen plant monsters were not scary; Wen Wen alone could single-handedly deal with them. What was terrifying was the possibility that these plant monsters could be contagious, infecting humans to become like the crazed zombies in horror movies, wildly spreading the virus to others. At that point, if the streets were full of virus-carrying plant monsters, controlling the situation would be difficult.
From what Dr. Feng had said, his goal was probably as Wen Wen had guessed. After all, he had once caused a ’plant zombie crisis.’ The plant zombies he created then had the fatal weakness of only being active during the day, but according to Dr. Feng’s words, this time he seemed to have overcome that weakness.
Fortunately, a few days prior, Wen Wen had already handed over all the viruses he had collected to the Association for research, and with the Association’s capabilities, they should quickly find a way to cope.
Furthermore, after Wen Wen reported the exact timing of the outbreak to the Association, sixteen emergency teams, each composed of Demon Hunters and Supporters, arrived in Tongling City. They were ready to control the situation as quickly as possible when it erupted.
For Zhu Qipei and Master Feng Bei, it was a failed hunting plan. Dr. Feng was ultimately consumed by Ais Wakaz and not killed by their hands.
But they chose not to leave; instead, they decided to stay in Tongling City for a few more days. Master Feng Bei wanted to remain to solve the problems left by Feng Rao, while Zhu Qipei stayed purely because he felt he had incurred Ais Wakaz’s enmity, and he might face retaliation. Without the protection of the Hunters Association, it would be safer to stay with others until Ais Wakaz was dealt with.
After returning to the hotel, Wen Wen entered the room Zhu Qipei had booked for him, released Tao Qingqing, and then went into the bathroom to enter the Sanctuary.
