#194 - The plan failed, and he made a harsh statement?

Chapter 194: Plans Ruined, Harsh Words Uttered?

Meanwhile.

Inside the Hancheng Shelter.

Upon Chen Wu's return, he immediately ordered all ability users who had joined the shelter within the last twenty days to be gathered in one place, separated from the main underground city area.

This was to prevent anyone from causing trouble in the shelter if they were unwilling to leave.

Not only ability users, but also the survivors who had joined within these twenty days were also ordered by Chen Wu to be gathered together.

To prevent any from slipping through the net!

Chen Wu certainly believed Zhao Zheng's words, as Zhao Zheng had no reason to deceive him.

Standing in the monitoring room, Chen Wu checked the time; it was already past eight in the evening.

Subsequently.

His gaze shifted to the monitoring screen.

On the monitoring screen, there were six frames, representing six different rooms.

The three rooms above contained all the people who had joined the shelter within the last twenty days.

Chen Wu nodded and asked again, still not entirely at ease: "Is everyone here? Including those blind people?"

"Yes, Director!" The burly man's tone was certain: "I personally led the team to search, leaving no one out."

Only then did Chen Wu feel relieved, and he asked: "During the search, did you encounter any resistance?"

The burly man replied: "Resistance? They wouldn't dare! Even if they have grievances, they have to hold them in! They can't run wild here."

The burly man spoke with great momentum, likely a powerful ability user himself.

Chen Wu smiled upon hearing this, looking at the monitoring screen without saying anything.

The burly man curiously asked: "Director, why suddenly gather these people? Could there be spies among them?"

"It's more serious than that!" Chen Wu said: "I received reliable information that these people are not from our world; they are disguised as ability users and have ulterior motives."

"Originally, I wouldn't bother with whatever they wanted to do, as long as it didn't affect the shelter! But, they want to use the shelter as a shield, and that's definitely not allowed!"

Upon hearing these words, everyone in the monitoring room was greatly shocked.

"From another world?"

Some people's expressions showed disbelief.

However, out of trust for Chen Wu, none of them questioned it.

The burly man quickly adjusted his emotions and hastily asked: "Use the shelter as a shield? Director, what does that mean?"

Chen Wu said: "Their identities as outsiders have been discovered by an unknown existence. After twelve o'clock tonight, they will be marked, and a large number of monsters, even the eerie, will come to hunt them down."

"If we let them continue to stay in the shelter, it will definitely bring a devastating disaster to the shelter!"

These words once again shocked everyone.

No one expected such a bizarre thing to happen?

However, since even the eerie had appeared in the world, it seemed there was nothing unacceptable.

Thinking of the eerie, they were all filled with fear.

Once the eerie invaded the underground city, the hundreds of thousands of people in the underground city would definitely…

"Director, are all these people outsiders from other worlds?" Someone asked.

Chen Wu shook his head and said: "I can't say for sure, but after twelve o'clock tonight, the eyes of those outsiders will turn red, making them easy to distinguish."

Hearing this, the burly man suddenly understood: "No wonder so many blind ability users have appeared; it turns out they knew their eyes would change, so they pretended to be blind in advance, trying to deceive us?"

After a pause, the burly man angrily cursed: "Damn it, what a selfish bunch of beasts!"

His expression was one of gnashing teeth, wishing he could kill all those people right now.

At this moment.

A young man suddenly asked: "Director, what if someone gouges out their own eyes?"

Hearing this, without Chen Wu answering, someone next to him cursed: "You idiot, wouldn't that be an admission of guilt? Do you even need to ask?"

The young man realized he was wrong, and his face turned red.

… …

At this time.

Those "ability users" imprisoned in the rooms were also talking.

"What's going on? Why did they suddenly bring us to the isolation room for no reason? I'm not sick!"

"Yeah! I was just about to go to sleep…"

"Heh heh, at this time, don't you understand the intention of isolating us? Our identities have been exposed."

"What identity? What are you talking about?"

"Brother, is there still a need to pretend now? After twelve o'clock, we'll all reveal our true colors. What's the point of pretending?"

"… … Damn! How did they know our real identities? Who leaked the secret?"

"It's definitely not us? We're on the same side, and no one would be foolish enough to betray everyone. The only ones who could do such a thing are the guys outside who can't get in."

"Damn it, if I find out who it is, I'll kill him!!"

"What do we do now? They won't just kill us directly, will they?"

"Probably not. According to analysis, with Director Chen's personality, he wouldn't do such a thing. If he wanted to, he would have already acted. Imprisoning us is probably to distinguish us clearly before sending us outside."

"Ah? Outside? It's so dangerous outside, and it's dark now, and we'll attract monsters with our red names… Isn't that the same as courting death?"

"Therefore, the only path before us now is to choose to return after twelve o'clock!!"

"Damn it, I'm so unwilling! I know a senior who stayed in this shelter for a full 42 days before leaving… Why are we so unlucky?"

"It's also possible that someone doesn't like what we're doing! After all, if we keep staying here, it will only bring disastrous consequences to the shelter."

"So what? Are the people in the Spirit Realm even considered people?"

"Can you say less? Didn't you see there are monitors here? If you anger them, they'll come in and kill you before twelve o'clock!"

"Why wait until twelve o'clock to choose to return? Can't we do it now?"

"Because the mission evaluation standard is every seven days. After twelve o'clock tonight, it will be exactly twenty-one days, understand? Idiot!!"

"So, does that mean my twenty days of pretending to be blind were for nothing?"

A group of transcendents gathered to discuss.

After analyzing the situation, they quickly understood their current situation.

Many people sighed, but they were helpless…

… …

Time passed quickly.

Twelve o'clock finally arrived.

Almost the moment midnight came, in the three rooms above the monitoring room, most people's eyes turned red.

What the surveillance showed was like the eyes of a beast, a little scary.

Many people who saw this scene through the surveillance were startled!

Subsequently.

An alarm sounded.

A soldier reported: Just now, several monster areas nearby have experienced obvious anomalies. Those monsters seem to be approaching the shelter.

Hearing this news, several leaders in the monitoring room burst into curses.

"It really is…"

"These bastards!"

"Fortunately, the director is wise, otherwise, we would have been killed by them!"

"Director, how should these people be dealt with?"

"If you ask me, it's best to execute them all."

Chen Wu sighed heavily, then stood up and said, "Let's go! Let's send them on their way."

At this moment.

A young man next to the monitor suddenly exclaimed: "Director, look quickly, those people… they are disappearing in place."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked towards the monitor screen.

Sure enough, they saw that "ability users" were constantly disappearing in place.

It was the kind of disappearance directly into thin air, which looked very strange.

"This, what's going on?"

"Where did they go?"

"Quick! Notify the underground city and tell them to strengthen their defenses!"

Chen Wu shook his head and said, "Don't panic, these people should have chosen to return to their own world."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, seemingly feeling a little incredulous about this method of traveling through worlds.

Everyone waited for a moment.

They found that most of the outsiders had chosen to leave.

However, there was one person who was still staying in the isolation room, and was also looking at the surveillance camera, clearly having something to say.

At this time.

More news came, saying that the monsters nearby had already appeared within the warning line range of the shelter, asking whether to open fire and snipe them.

Hearing this, Chen Wu's expression turned cold. He stood up and strode towards the monitoring room.

When he arrived in the monitoring room, he looked at the young man with red eyes and said coldly, "What? Still not leaving? Do you want me to send you on your way?"

He knew this young man. The other party possessed the same abilities as him. He had originally been very optimistic about the other party, and even didn't mind the other party's skin color, intending to treat the other party as a disciple to cultivate…

Unexpectedly!

He was a disaster!

"Director, I want to ask, who informed on me?" the young man asked.

"Do you think I would say?" Chen Wu snorted coldly: "Get out of here! If you don't leave, you will stay here forever!"

As Chen Wu spoke, electric arcs appeared in his eyes, and lightning flickered in his hands.

He clearly looked like he was about to attack.

The young man was silent.

He silently recited "Return" in his heart, and then said: "Director, I will be back in a year. The me at that time will not be the me now. Don't regret your choice today!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

The ten seconds had just passed, and the young man disappeared directly in place.

Chen Wu's face was ugly.

The other party's words before leaving were clearly a threat!

However, Chen Wu didn't take the other party too seriously.

It was only a year. He didn't believe that the other party could grow to the point where he could threaten him.

… …

After confirming that all the transcendents had cleared out, Chen Wu immediately came to the command room.

"How are those monsters?"

In the command room, the leader in charge of the post wondered: "Director, tonight's situation is very wrong. Just now, those monsters were still manic and approaching our shelter, but now they have returned to normal and have all retreated on their own… It's puzzling!"

Hearing this, Chen Wu breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a smile: "It's okay, this is normal."

The leader was even more puzzled upon hearing this…

… …

Time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye.

Five days passed.

In the presidential suite of the City of Silence, Zhao Zheng and Song Haitang were sitting on the sofa chatting.

Suddenly, the two seemed to sense something, their expressions changed slightly, and they looked in a certain direction at the same time.

"It's only been five days and it's resurrected?"

Zhao Zheng murmured: "This doesn't match the time in the data! Doesn't the data say that killing it once can last for seven days?"

Song Haitang thought for a while, and said with a smile: "What the data shows is that a high-yield nuclear explosion killed it, directly destroying half of this strange monster's body! If the monster wants to be resurrected, it has to replenish its body, which will definitely be more troublesome."

"You used the Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability. Although one blow can shatter its whole body, the body is still there, so resurrection will definitely save some effort."

This analysis is well-founded.

Zhao Zheng nodded, very much in agreement.

Afterwards, he complained again: "Fortunately, I tested it first and didn't rush to leave, otherwise our plan would have failed."

If he had believed what the data said, that killing it once would last for seven days, then he would have left at that time. If he came back after seven days, Song Haitang would either be dead or have returned to Blue Star.

After all, with Song Haitang's current strength, she can't shake the strange.

"Haitang, you just wait for me here, I'll be right back!"

Zhao Zheng said, standing up and walking out of the room.

The next moment.

A violent sonic boom came from outside, shaking the building.

Song Haitang looked at Zhao Zheng's departing back, and a slight smile appeared.

Before long.

A deafening roar came from a distance, as well as the strange screams erupted by the strange monster before its death…

Afterwards, the earth trembled.

Song Haitang felt that the entire building was shaking.

But fortunately, the shaking was not violent.

Commercial buildings like this have higher quality requirements than residential buildings, and the earthquake resistance is naturally greater. This level of earthquake is basically nothing.

Unless you encounter a black-hearted developer and the quality of the building is fake.

Even if it's really a tofu-dreg project and the building collapses, Song Haitang is not worried.

With her current strength, she can easily protect herself even if she jumps down from here.

Before long.

The earthquake stopped.

Zhao Zheng also flew back from a distance.

"This time, I smashed all the monster's corpses. I don't know how long it will take for it to resurrect this time?" Zhao Zheng said with a smile.

Song Haitang asked: "Are you going to hunt other anomalies?"

She knew that Zhao Zheng had been looking at the strange data these past few days.

"Yes!" Zhao Zheng nodded and said: "Let's forget about those anomalies with tricky abilities. There are three anomalies that are tyrannical based on their body size and strength. I can't miss them. Maybe I can get something good out of them."

Hearing this, Song Haitang nodded and said: "Okay, I know, I'll wait for you here."

"Okay!" Zhao Zheng said: "If you encounter danger, don't hesitate, choose to return immediately!"

"It doesn't matter if we fail once, your life is the most important thing."

Song Haitang nodded obediently: "I understand."
