A Night of Desperation-Chapter 238: Resistance to 236

“There’s no second option now. Once those people are rescued, the list will definitely leak, so we can only fully eradicate everyone present to meet the association’s needs,” the brawny masked figure said solemnly.

“Do such a thing, and I’ll be utterly unable to establish myself in the city! All departments will target me! You are sacrificing my interests to stabilize the overall situation!” Xin Zhilei gritted her teeth.

“Minister Xin, have you forgotten that you have had no choice for a very long time?” the brawny masked figure reminded her calmly.

Xin Zhilei fell silent.

It was quite a while before she spoke again, her voice dry.

“I understand. I will arrange for Echo Troop to cooperate with you.”

“That’s good,” nodded the brawny silhouette. “Chen Yaofeng is Chen Xiguang’s son, the most crucial identity among those present. After we begin, I will activate the Black Blood People’s final and complete form, and then kill everyone completely. The whole process will be completed in about two minutes. After that, your people need to completely seal off the surrounding area and spread the Black Disaster fake body powder, temporarily contaminating everyone inside into carriers of the Black Disaster scent. Not letting a single person escape.”

Xin Zhilei was silent. After more than ten seconds, she responded in a low voice.

“What if the Black Blood People’s complete form becomes uncontrollable?” she asked at last.

“No worries, after it kills enough people, it will stop on its own,” the brawny masked figure replied.

High-temperature columns of flame were continuously scorching the Black Blood People on the ground.

The protective suits contaminated with black blood were melting in the flames, turning into a gooey mixture of charred objects and thick molten rock.

“Let’s go, it’s over, we should go down and check the situation,” Yan Yuqiu said, relaxing. He held a complex silver device in his hand, its meters still shaking and changing.

Chen Yaofeng nodded and looked towards Yu Hong.

“Mr. Yu coming along?”

“Sure,” Yu Hong wanted to take a closer look at the bizarre Black Disaster. At the same time, his gaze also fell on Lin Yiyi in the surveillance.

Even though Yiyi didn’t seem to have any injuries, he felt, despite the victory, Lin Yiyi and Xue Ningning seemed to still be in a strange tension.

They seemed… to be concerned about more than just the present… and had not relaxed despite the battle being over…

Boom!

Just then, Li Kai, the deputy leader of the stag group inspecting the Black Blood People in the factory, was suddenly struck in the waist by a black tentacle emerging from the flames.

The enormous impact burst out at the speed of a bullet, instantly breaking his spine into several segments.

The protective suit was shattered and pierced, and even the toughened skin, muscles, and bones of a top-tier reinforced human proved futile.

With just one hit, the black tentacle sent Li Kai flying over ten meters, leaving a mark on the ground where he landed.

Roar!

A mass of black tentacles surged out of the flames, quickly coalescing into form, and once again taking the shape of the Black Blood People.

As soon as it formed, it let out a wild roar.

Swoosh.

The figure disappeared, this time the Black Blood People moved much faster than before.

In a blink, it appeared in front of Ou Nanyun.

Swinging a claw.

Clang Clang Clang Clang!!

The two exchanged more than ten blows in quick succession, with Ou Nanyun’s reactions gradually unable to keep up, being continuously suppressed and at a disadvantage.

Xue Ningning, not far away, kept putting in cold shots, helping Ou Nanyun to regain the upper hand.

Before long, two more stag group experts joined to surround it, while another two dragged away deputy leader Li Kai for a quick evacuation.

At this moment, Yu Hong, along with Chen Yaofeng and others, had already reached the factory entrance and were about to go in when they suddenly saw Li Kai being carried out by brute force.

His heart tightened, and he immediately wanted to go in.

“Don’t worry. Lin Yiyi and the others have already been evacuated from the back door. Now only the stag group and this Black Disaster monster are left in the warehouse,” Yan Yuqiu stopped him. “Leave this to the professionals. We researchers should try not to cause trouble.”

Boom!!

A big chunk of the wall right in front of the group bulged out, cracking, with large chunks of cement falling to the ground.

Yu Hong looked at Yan Yuqiu whose complexion had changed.

“Do we have an emergency plan for this kind of situation?” he asked.

“….” Yan Yuqiu’s face turned grim.

“Commander, this area is no longer safe. You must withdraw immediately and head to the emergency command shelter,” several nearby guards hurriedly said.

“Alright!” Chen Yaofeng’s complexion was also not great. He had intended to showcase the local strong capability to resist the Black Disaster in front of Yu Hong to attract him to move and settle here.

But he hadn’t anticipated… the current situation seemed to have taken an unexpected turn.

Under protective escort, the group quickly retreated, only getting about a dozen meters away.

Boom Boom Boom!!!

The entire factory’s walls exploded in succession, a massive fire engulfing everything, completely collapsing the factory.

The huge factory roof came crashing down, covering everything.

Dust and stones burst out, with thick white smoke accompanying the flames, completely covering and burying the original location of the factory.

Yu Hong suddenly understood why Yan Yuqiu hadn’t let him go in.

It turned out they had already planned to use concentrated explosives to completely resolve the humanoid Black Disaster.

After making sure Yiyi was safe, he had no intention of unnecessarily confronting the Black Disaster himself, especially not the bizarre and powerful humanoid Black Disaster.

If others went to exhaust and probe it, he would naturally be happy to let them.

“The thermal radiation reaction is gone, this time it’s definitely resolved,” Yan Yuqiu breathed a sigh of relief.

“What’s going on? How come the Black Disaster can’t be suppressed even with the combined use of Sunshine Material bullets and luminous stone bombs?” Chen Yaofeng was extremely dissatisfied, quietly asking a stag group liaison nearby.

The show of strength this time, with the Buck’s performance, was extremely dissatisfactory to him, with a series of mishaps making him look quite awkward in front of Yu Hong.

For such an important research talent, a stable environment is more critical than anything. Even though Yu Hong is also a decently capable enhanced person, compared to his research talent attribute, the label of an enhanced person means very little.

Roar!

At that moment, a beastly roar that changed the color of anyone who heard it burst forth from the ruins after the factory explosion.

Swoosh!

A dark shadow burst through the dust cloud, colliding heavily with Ou Nanyun who had just retreated.

The latter was struck by the tremendous force, spat out blood, was thrown flying, and fell to the ground motionless.

The dark shadow moved at a breakneck speed, more than twice as fast as before, weaving through the soldiers and quickly eliciting a series of screams.

“Retreat, retreat, retreat! Keep your distance!” a sergeant bellowed loudly.

The soldiers instinctively began a well-trained retreat, but it was too late.

The shadow was too fast.

“How could it not be killed by the joint bomb!? Impossible!” Yan Yuqiu stared in disbelief at the shadow.

Not far away, another official, the deputy director of the medical department Zhan Yongwen, had already boarded an armored vehicle with an ugly expression on his face and started leaving.

“Mr. Yu, we should go first! They will handle the aftermath and the blockade!” Chen Yaofeng urgently urged Yu Hong to leave with him.

“Are we just leaving this place?!” Yu Hong asked in astonishment. There were so many people present. Although there seemed to be many, if they were really blocked off by the Black Disaster, these hundreds of people wouldn’t last two minutes.

“We can only enact the ultimate isolation. This level of Black Disaster, as soon as we exit its hunting attack range, will stop on its own. Compared to the elite enhanced soldiers, us staying here is just a hindrance!” explained Chen Yaofeng hastily. He had already boarded an armored vehicle and was waving at Yu Hong.

“Exit the range?” Yu Hong looked back.

He saw that among the ruins, the dark shadow continuously darted back and forth among the crowd, leading to exploding bullets and fire wherever it went.

The soldiers tried to stop it, but it was of little use. The enhanced people’s eyesight indeed could capture it, but bullets and bombs eventually run out.

Once out, the casualties among the present soldiers would undoubtedly be severe.

Very strong.

His expression grew slightly grave.

The opponent’s speed was too fast;even though he specialized in the Thunderbolt Leg Technique, his speed was only slightly better than the opponent’s.

When the speed is on a similar level, it’s extremely difficult for any one person to catch another.

“Wait, something’s blocking the way outside, we can’t get out!!”

Suddenly, the armored vehicle that Zhan Yongwen had just driven away came back.

Several guards yelled loudly from the side of the vehicle.

Gunfire and explosions came from outside, with a few soldiers attempting to use bullets and small explosives to breach.

It was then that the people near the factory realized that, unbeknownst to them, a layer of grayish-white thick fog had encircled them, cutting off the buildings of Aurora City from the outside.

They tried to charge in, but quickly found themselves circling back out. It was as if there was a huge maze inside.

“We’ve been sealed off outside!” someone screamed.

Several elite troops did not panic;some continued to suppress the Black Disaster, some quickly studied the rules of the fog blockade to attempt a breakout.

Another part was responsible for protecting the officials present.

“Where’s Echo Troop!? They’ve disappeared!”

A soldier noticed the issue and reported immediately.

Soon, Chen Yaofeng and others were aware of the disappearance of Echo Troop, and seeing the thick fog around, everyone speculated that this mist was very likely not natural but man-made.

“Xin Zhilei definitely has a problem!” Chen Yaofeng clenched his fist and slammed it hard against the door of the armored vehicle, his expression ugly.

“If this keeps up, none of us will get out;we’ll all be killed by the Black Disaster. We must find a way to trap the Black Disaster, to buy some time!” Yan Yuqiu spoke urgently.

“Mr. Yan, do you have any ideas!?” Chen Yaofeng quickly asked.

“What was the Black Disaster’s initial target, do you remember?” Yan Yuqiu quickly said.

“Was it… that investigation team’s people!?” Chen Yaofeng reacted. “Are you saying those people were bait? They purposely lured us here into a trap and then kill us all together!?”

“It couldn’t be a trap!” Yu Hong suddenly spoke up, interrupting their conversation.

“Why are you so sure, Mr. Yu?” Chen Yaofeng retorted.

“Because…” Yu Hong’s expression turned cold. He turned his head to look at the Black Blood People approaching against the bullets toward them.

“With me here, no one can kill them!”

As soon as the words ended.

He vanished from his spot.

Boom—a huge explosion.

Yu Hong charged head-on at full speed towards the Black Blood People, turning into a dark shadow.

He bent his knees, and surged upward!

Boom!!!

A terrifying force exploded violently between them.

The Black Blood People were struck by the sudden knee strike into the chest, crushed by the corrosive power of the Inner Qi in an instant, blowing a huge hole in the back.

Its hands reached for Yu Hong, only to find that its arms couldn’t move for the moment.

Its hands were also grasped by Yu Hong’s arms.

“Thunderbolt.”

Yu Hong’s eyes ignited with white light, as immense force grabbed the Black Blood People, and his right leg suddenly turned into a phantom, cracking like thunder on its abdomen.

Boom boom boom boom!!

A terrifying succession of explosions roared continuously;the Black Blood People’s body looked like a broken doll, its body shattered limb by limb from the whipping kicks. Its legs, abdomen, the entire lower half of the body, were all kicked into a bloody mess.
