505 Situation
"Yes," Lu Yuan said after some thought. we'll stay here temporarily.
Li Qinghe also nodded. investigate the nearby areas during this period of time. We might be able to find something.
When Bai Linglong heard that Lu Yuan and Li Qinghe would be here to guard, she heaved a sigh of relief. She nodded. "I understand. I'll have to trouble the two elders for the next step."
....
Xikou city, Southern District.
In a dark underground room, a beautiful black-haired woman let out a breath of air. There was a dark mist in her dark eyes.
There was a trace of fear in her eyes.
"My Lord is right. That Lu Yuan is really strong! He actually killed all my soul servants so easily. If I'm discovered ..."
Her expression changed slightly at the thought of this.
However, when she thought of the mission that the Lord had given her, she could only grit her teeth and her eyes became determined.
"Let's do it again tonight! Drag them all here!"
At the same time, in the other cities where the soul devouring bead had mutated, a large number of battle kings and combat emperors had come to help, and they were finally able to put an end to the mutation.
However, some cities were severely damaged, with more than 10000 people dead. Some cities were slightly better off.
The civilians in these cities were in a state of constant fear. They tried every means to leave their own cities so that they would not be implicated the next time the mutation occurred.
Of course, those who could leave were businessmen and elites with a certain amount of assets. The price of riding an aircraft was not something ordinary people could afford.
Even so, the seats in the flying transport were still hard to get. Not everyone could get on the flying transport.
As for the real ordinary people, they could only carry on with their lives in fear. The residents of the areas destroyed by the mutation could only move to other areas temporarily under the guidance of the Archon.
For a time, there was a lot of chaos in several cities. Even if the public security officers tried their best to suppress it, the frequency of crimes was still increasing rapidly.
As for the genetic warriors, they were similar to the night Watchmen and had no time to care about the chaotic civilians. Right now, they could only do their best to investigate the location of the controller of the soul devouring bead and deal with the source as soon as possible.
Only then would these cities slowly recover.
Even the other cities in the red maple Empire had heard of the large-scale mutation phenomenon in a few cities. For a time, many people were worried and afraid.
However, ordinary people without power could not do anything no matter how worried they were.
....
At the headquarters of the Guardians of the night in the imperial capital.
Gu An sat in the president's office with a gloomy face. As she listened to Secretary Liu's report, her expression was extremely ugly.
"What is that soul devouring bead? Who did this? What was his purpose? These 11 cities have taken up a large amount of our internal energy and powerhouses. If this goes on, it'll be a mess sooner or later."
Secretary Liu's face was also a little worried as he said,
"Now we can only hope that they can find the owner of the soul devouring bead as soon as possible."
"Hmph! Even those battle emperors had started to ask about this matter, hoping that it would not blow up. Otherwise, the person behind the soul devouring bead would not have an easy time. That's right ... How about the underground storage room? Are there any abnormalities?"
After receiving the anonymous text message, Gu An had placed the security of the underground storage room in an increasingly important position. Now that the outside world was in turmoil, there must be no mistakes in the underground storage room. Otherwise, the situation would probably become very bad.
Upon hearing Gu An's words, Secretary Liu said, "The underground storage room is still the same as before. Elder Xing Yun and elder Mei Ge, the two combat emperors, and the other battle King elders are guarding it. Even if a battle emperor wants to enter, he will be discovered. At that time, the battle emperor will definitely make his move."
Hearing this, Gu An was slightly relieved and nodded. that's good. We can't afford to lose the underground storage room.
....
Xikou city.
Bai Linglong brought Lu Yuan and Li Qinghe out of the residential building. In the air, Bai Linglong said,
"Now that there are no other clues about the mutation phenomenon, we, the night Watchmen, will do our best to investigate the location of the soul devouring bead. Elders, why don't you follow me back to the branch and rest in the reception room? "
Lu Yuan and Li Qinghe looked at each other. Li Qinghe said with a smile,
"No need, we'll investigate it together. Now there are a total of 11 cities that are troubled by the soul devouring bead. If we can finish this as soon as possible, we can go help the other cities."
Hearing this, Bai Linglong smiled and said,
"That's for the best. I'll have to trouble the two elders then."
"I should."
Li Qinghe smiled.
She turned to look at Lu Yuan. "Brother Yuan, let's split up and search in different places. We might find something."
Lu Yuan naturally had no objections. He nodded and said with a smile, "That's good."
After that, Lu Yuan and Li Qinghe flew in two different directions in Xikou city.
In the process of flying, Lu Yuan's shadow shook slightly. Black shadows left quickly and moved in the shadows.
The shadow Kingdom.
Lu Yuan planned to have a large number of shadows search together. Although he was the only one who could sense and use the evolution cube, and his shadow clones could not sense it, even if he could not use the evolution cube, having more shadow clones would allow him to discover unusual places faster and more efficiently.
Lu Yuan's current strength was much stronger than when he had just broken through to the battle king state. He had released hundreds of shadow doppelgangers, and with Lu Yuan as the center, they were conducting a carpet search within a radius of fifty kilometers.
During the search, Lu Yuan found that there were night watchers and other descendants of genetic warrior families who should be in the city searching together.
For the Night Watchmen branch, it was their job, but for the children of the big families, if the soul devouring bead continued to grow, the whole Xikou city might be abandoned, and they would lose their most important Foundation. This was related to the inheritance of their families, so they dared not slack off.
At the door of a room in a residential area, two strong men with fire axes in their hands were grinning and kicking the door.
One of the brawny men shouted, "f * ck, open the door!" We just want some money to spend. Don't make me angry, or I'll take your lives!"
A frightened voice came from the door, "Aren't you afraid that the sheriff will come?"
"The sheriff? My cousin is the captain of the security team nearby. Do you think they'll come? Hurry up and open the door. Otherwise, even if I hack you to death, you'll die in vain!"
In the room, a bespectacled gentleman was holding a little boy, his face showing a trace of fear. The little boy was trembling, and a refined woman beside him was also worried.
"Hubby, what should we do?"
The woman's voice trembled, "They might break down the door."
The refined man's face was pale. His eyes flickered as he thought about what to do.
At this moment, a terrified scream suddenly came from outside the door.
"Ah! What the hell are you? Get lost!"
The screams made the family of three tremble. The little boy's tears came out. He bit his lips and didn't dare to cry out loud.
The refined man and the woman's faces were as white as paper.
Seeing that there was no movement outside, the two of them looked at each other and fear appeared in their eyes.
The refined man then took a deep breath and said, "You guys wait here, I'll go take a look."
He came to the door and looked outside through the peephole, but there was no one outside.
The refined man was taken aback. He then gulped and said, "Are you guys still outside?"
There was no response from outside. The refined man glanced at the woman, took a deep breath, locked the safety, and quietly opened the door a little.
Through the crack of the door, the refined man saw two strong men lying on the ground. Their hands were grabbing his neck, and their faces were purple. It seemed that they had strangled themselves to death.
Seeing this scene, the refined man's heart skipped a beat. A chill rose from the bottom of his heart and he had goosebumps.
