Chapter 204 Wires
After crossing the overpass, you'll find yourself in Building C, a place you've never set foot in before.
Compared to the craters and craters left by the explosion in Building B, Building C is much more intact. It is empty and looks very quiet.
This very silence makes the place even more fraught with danger.
"We've been targeted," Tu Hao said.
Any murderous intent harboring malice cannot escape his premonition of danger.
"I sensed it." Miao Yin also noticed it.
The last time I felt this uncomfortable gaze was at the zoo.
"Sizzle... sizzle..."
A crackling sound of electricity could be heard from the darkness, followed by the light bulbs in the mall starting to flicker.
"There's still electricity? That's impossible," Ling said.
“This isn’t the electricity in the mall; something is moving.” Yan Shuzhou put the rabbit on his shoulder, and the Nine-Tails Rabbit, with its keen senses, quickly located the source of the problem.
"It's in the electrical box."
The electrical box in Building C is located at the end of the corridor next to the public restroom, with a wooden door half-open.
"Ling," Miao Yin called out.
"clear."
White thorns rose from the ground, extending from his feet into the passageway and breaking through the wooden door, as they looked from a distance.
As the dust settled, at the end of the passageway, a huge black shadow merged with an electrical box.
"Go over and have a look."
They approached the passageway and finally saw the true face of Mount Lu inside.
They were two deformed people, a man and a woman, whose bodies had fused together, their heads were close together, their skin was pale and bluish, and their bellies were inlaid with rusty electrical boxes.
Their bodies were enormous, like a giant tumor clinging to the wall, their soft limbs wriggling, somewhat similar to the deformed human seen in the fraud ring before.
Two matching necklaces hung on her neck, where dark blue veins were exposed.
"How disgusting," Yao Yue said with revulsion.
"Sister, they don't seem to be able to move."
"You'll know once you try it," Ling said, urging the thorns on once more.
The snow-covered thorns swiftly attacked the deformed humans, piercing their flesh and hooking them tightly with their barbs.
The deformed man's two heads simultaneously emitted whimpering cries, and the electrical box on his stomach began to crackle and pop.
The next moment, currents surged around them, and white electric light filled the entire passage.
"Not good, back off!" Ling immediately cut the thorn to prevent the electric current from flowing through.
Just as the current burst out of the channel, an invisible barrier appeared in front of them, blocking the current out. White lightning exploded into a large number of sparks on the barrier!
This is Yao Yue's barrier against all things.
Everyone immediately raised their arms to shield their eyes from the bright light.
Fortunately, the electric shock did not last long. Soon, the mutant, realizing that it was being blocked, stopped its attack and stared at them menacingly from inside the passage.
Yao Yue breathed a sigh of relief, but cold sweat had unknowingly appeared on her forehead.
"You reacted very quickly," Miao Yin praised.
"Fortunately."
This was also a subconscious action of hers. Fortunately, the other party did not throw out any more strange things, since her barrier could only block these invisible forces.
Realizing how troublesome the opponent was, Yao Yue didn't dare to remove the barrier casually, but instead left it in place.
"This electricity is quite strong. I should have brought Ji Yuanzhou out and let the two of them fight. These kinds of special mutants are very rare," Miao Yin observed.
"Yao Yue, how far can your barrier go?"
“Expanding it to thirty meters is no problem, but it won’t protect against physical damage. If you need it, I can provide you with a separate protective shield,” she replied.
"Alone? Let me try." Miao Yin became interested.
"Okay, but it can only last for an hour."
Centered on Miao Yin, Yao Yue used her supernatural ability to create a transparent barrier around her.
Miao Yin touched her surroundings. The cover was transparent, and she could only feel some coolness when she touched it, like a handful of invisible flowing spring water.
"I'll go and meet it. You guys wait outside."
"Be careful," Yan Shuzhou said.
So Miao Yin walked into the passage alone. The deformed man had a hideous face, his two necks twisted and turned, and the flesh beneath him rippled.
Since they cannot move, they have to use other methods to hunt.
The current surged again, crackling and striking the barrier.
"too bright."
Miao Yin disliked the feeling of her eyes being dazzled, especially since her eyesight was currently excellent.
So she took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on, blocking out most of the bright light, and finally felt comfortable.
Seeing that she was not afraid of the electric current, the deformed man roared angrily, his voice so loud that even the dust on the wall fell down.
Its flesh burst open, and dozens of thick electrical wires grew out, cleaving through it with unstoppable force.
The barrier of all things could not stop such an attack, and Miao Yin activated her skill.
Because the fire would burn away Yao Yue's superpowers as well, this time the flames were summoned one meter away from Miao Yin.
Flames soared outside, engulfing all the electrical wires and burning them to ashes. Even a layer of the passageway walls was peeled off, revealing the bricks underneath.
Miao Yin walked slowly and deliberately to the deformed man.
Faced with the two heads that kept threatening her, she waved her hand, and the flames turned into blades, severing the two heads.
Its head rolled twice, its mouth still cursing, before it was quickly engulfed by flames.
"I guess... it's here."
She grabbed the electrical box, which was covered in flesh and blood, and peeled off the entire casing. Among the tangled wires and veins, a yellow crystal core shone with a faint fluorescence.
Seemingly aware that their weakness had been exposed, the flesh and blood stirred, trying to move the crystal core elsewhere.
What awaited it was a raging inferno.
The newly grown lower half of the mutant's head screamed as it vanished into the black and red flames. The yellow crystal core fell from the ashes and was caught by Miao Yin.
"Finish."
She held the crystal core and absorbed its energy as she walked out.
The passage wasn't long, and even though it was full of craters, she could walk out in a dozen seconds. The invisible barrier of all things still surrounded her.
Miao Yin walked slowly until a chilling sense of crisis exploded in her cerebral cortex.
She looked up and saw a red shadow flash by. Tu Hao, who was at the very edge of the group, disappeared instantly. What followed was a loud crash of flesh hitting the wall.
Everyone:! ! !
The sudden turn of events startled everyone, and they hadn't even realized who had been kidnapped.
They looked toward the source of the sound and saw that a large hole had been smashed in the wall on one side, and Tu Hao was being held down inside by a red figure, blood already seeping from his back.
His wolf claws gripped the creature on his body, and despite the dizziness in his head, he opened his eyes to look.
A cat was pressing down on him.
