Chapter 1079 Hide and Seek Game

"However, this life essence energy is too inefficient. He needs to absorb at least hundreds of thousands of people to have the power to overwhelm you. Before that, he will avoid you."

Luther plans to play a hide-and-seek game with Shalu.

Whoever catches them first will lose, not to mention that he also got into the mix two No. 17 and No. 18 from the main space and time whose strength is at least fifty times different.

If Shahru has absorbed enough of the essence of human life by then and is confident that the people he is looking for are not No. 17 and No. 18 in the future... then there will be a good show.

"What should we do?"

Future No. 17 asked anxiously, with a hint of trembling and uneasiness in his voice.

He couldn't imagine that all his energy and strength would be absorbed by an unknown artificial person. That would be an ending he couldn't accept.

"We have to find him first and then defeat him before he becomes strong enough."

"Isn't this nonsense? I'm asking how to find him!"

The artificial beings despise each other, even if they are themselves, but after all, one is in the future and the other is in the past.

"Isn't he going to absorb humans? This will definitely leave traces. Wouldn't it be good to pay attention to the news about humans?"

Main Spacetime No. 17 analyzed calmly.

No. 18 from the main space and time also nodded and added: "The life essence of hundreds of thousands of human beings, his traces will be very obvious, we are afraid that he will avoid us."

In the original plot, Cellu did a lot of things as soon as he appeared. In order to recover from the larval state into an adult, he single-handedly destroyed a small city and absorbed 15,000 citizens with his tail.

Later, Cell absorbed far more than the 15,000 people when he first appeared. After being defeated by Piccolo, he absorbed it at full speed. Piccolo was finally frightened and the southern region was in four days. Hundreds of thousands of people were absorbed by him.

The fate of the humans who were mercilessly devoured by Sharu was like candles in the wind, fleeting. All that was left were pieces of clothing and pools of sticky liquid on the ground, as if they were traces of some unknown creature.

The daily rhythm of the city has not slowed down, and the hustle and bustle of the streets are still there. But beneath the surface, an uneasy undercurrent is quietly surging.

In news reports, disappearance cases sprung up like mushrooms after rain. At first, they were just a few sporadic cases. They were regarded by most people as ordinary criminal incidents, and the police also followed regular procedures for investigation.

However, as time goes by, the number of missing people rises sharply, from a few, to dozens, to hundreds, and the entire city and even the country are shrouded in a thick shadow.

Panic spread rapidly like a plague, and people began to wonder whether there was some unspeakable force at work secretly.

Social media has become a platform for people to vent their fears and speculations. "Missing persons" have become a hot topic, and various versions of rumors and speculations are flying everywhere.

Some people say it was an abduction by aliens, some think it was a conspiracy by a secret organization, and some even blame it all on the appearance of supernatural phenomena.

The truth is like a beacon in the fog, out of reach, making people feel despair.

The artificial humans travel between cities. Everywhere they go, they will carefully examine the remnants of the missing scene, looking for the unique traces left by Shahru.

They found that Sarul seemed to have consciously avoided large-scale surveillance areas, and instead chose those surveillance blind spots or remote towns as his "hunting grounds."

This strategy makes Cell's whereabouts more elusive, but it also provides valuable clues to Luther and others - Cell is gradually approaching a specific target, a target that allows him to absorb enough life in a short period of time. Excellent place.

Then Future 17 met Cell, who was hiding in an abandoned factory, enjoying the pleasure of devouring humans.

After all, Shahru had not thought that anyone would come looking for him at this stage, and his whereabouts could be said to be unscrupulous and without any intention of hiding anything.

"No. 17?"

Shahru has absorbed more than 10,000 people. It is very simple and easy, with an average absorption efficiency of one person per second. Apart from the fact that it is a little more troublesome to find people, his energy has also recovered a lot.

After seeing No. 17 appear at this time, he was moved and thought he could try to absorb No. 17.

"Salu?"

No. 17 looked at this monster.

It looks like a large humanoid insect with an irregular face and spines on its tail that can be used to absorb human/human body essence.

"You ugly monster."

No. 17 clenched his fists.

"You know my name?"

Shalu was very surprised and puzzled. According to the information he knew, No. 17 probably didn't know about his existence.

But at this moment, No. 17 not only knew his name, but also showed obvious hostility. This surprised Shahruh and at the same time aroused his desire to fight.

"There's no way I'll be absorbed by you, you ugly monster!"

Before he finished speaking, No. 17's figure was already like an arrow leaving the string, so fast that it almost exceeded the limit of what the naked eye could capture. His muscles tensed instantly, as if every inch of his skin contained endless energy, waiting for the moment to be released.

In one step, he covered a distance of tens of meters, as if space was just a void decoration to him, unable to stop his progress.

His figure drew a graceful arc in the air and came directly in front of Shalu. There was only a few centimeters between the two, enough for each other's breaths to intertwine.

His fist was wrapped in violent energy, and it blasted towards Cell like a meteorite.

Seeing this, Cell curled up a sneer at the corner of his mouth and also punched forward.

The two fists collided head-on in the air, erupting with a deafening roar, as if the entire space was trembling at this moment.

Their power was so strong that the shock wave generated by the collision spread instantly, destroying the surrounding high-rise buildings one by one, dust flying, gravel splashing, and the whole city seemed to be in a doomsday scene at this moment.

This blow was enough to smash any ordinary creature to pieces, but for beings like Cell and No. 17, although this blow was amazingly powerful, it was just the beginning of the battle.

Their bodies retreated slightly in the collision, as if they were bounced away by an invisible force, but then they quickly adjusted their posture like a spring, ready to welcome the next round of confrontation.

Cell's tail drew a strange arc in the air, trying to wrap around No. 17's body, but No. 17 flexibly dodged sideways and kicked Cell in the abdomen, trying to interrupt his attack.

Although Cell's body was shaken by this kick, he did not really lose control.

He quickly adjusted his posture, turned his body in the air, and landed steadily.
