A Night of Desperation-Chapter 239: Action 237

“This… What is this?!” Beside the armored vehicle.

Chen Yaofeng and a group of guards were stunned as they watched the scene unfold inside. For a moment, they were too shocked to speak any more. Despite being in his fifties, Chen Yaofeng had grown much calmer over the years, but…

He had not expected Yu Hong to suddenly explode—nor that it would be so exaggerated!

“Is Mr. Yu’s strength really this exaggerated…?” He turned to look at Yan Yuqiu next to him and found his expression was just as shocked.

The two men silently watched the one-sided brutalizing amidst the ruins, unsure of how to react.

The situation, which had been critically dangerous moments before, was suddenly reversed by the power of one man.

This type of scenario had not been witnessed by them for many years.

The military represents collective strength, especially in modern warfare. The influence of an individual is as weak as an ant.

Against the threat of modern weapons, it’s insignificant.

After the Black Disaster, the Gate of Despair appeared, leading to the emergence of several enhanced humans.

The rise of enhanced humans slightly bridged the huge gap in lethality between humans and weapons.

But only slightly.

Yet this scene before them…

“Mr. Yu Hong has been able to hold a stronghold alone for so long outside… It seems now… there really is a reason…” Yan Yuqiu said seriously.

“This is the most powerful enhanced human I’ve ever seen…” Chen Yaofeng nodded gravely. “With such a powerhouse, if equipped with the most advanced gear and weaponry… It’s fortunate he’s not against us.”

“But Mr. Yu said he’s not an enhanced human.” He suddenly frowned.

“Do you believe him?” Yan Yuqiu countered.

The two men fell silent, simply watching the fierce battle unfolding below.

Lin Yiyi and Xue Ningning, along with Li Han and other investigative team members, were picked up and seated in the armored vehicles behind the factory.

Just as they got on, explosions and gunfire erupted inside the factory, and everyone initially relaxed, thinking the reinforcements had arrived and the Black Disaster was being handled.

But what happened next tightened their nerves again.

The Black Blood People kept regenerating and reviving, seemingly impossible to kill, continuously draining the troops’ weapons and energy.

Eventually, when the Black Blood People became nearly unstoppable, they immediately moved towards their location.

This made them realize the Black Blood People were likely being controlled by someone, as there was no other explanation for their focus on attacking them specifically.

Seeing even the elite coalition forces unable to hold them back, they panicked and urged the vehicle to hurry away.

Then Yu Hong took to the field.

A massive leg whip and explosion brought silence to the surrounding ruins.

It wasn’t just them who got scared;even the members of the Deer Squad who came for support fell silent.

“This is the first time,” Xue Ningning sat on the stretcher in the vehicle, her gaze through the window fixed on the factory ruins, “the first time after being targeted by the Black Disaster that I have felt such a deep sense of security…”

She had recognized Yu Hong. Although they had only met once and she had stayed near the camp for a while without getting to know him well, she had asked about him again before coming and was already aware of the big shot behind Lin Yiyi.

When the investigation team was on regular missions, she had also learned a lot about the situation.

At this moment, her gaze carried a mix of shock and more profoundly, a philosophical reflection, as ingrained perceptions were strongly challenged and subverted.

“So, people can really be this powerful…” After all, this wasn’t just any ordinary Black Disaster;it was a super-strong Black Disaster that even the military couldn’t kill!

An’an voiced what everyone there was feeling.

“I’ve seen enhanced humans before, and most that could kill Black Disasters could only take on the lowest level Shadow Black Bugs, and even then, they didn’t handle it this easily or overwhelmingly…” Li Han tensed up, leaning against the ambulance door.

“This really was an eye-opener like no other…” He shook his head, “Seeing the expression and gestures of this big shot, he must have dealt with Black Disasters many times. He’s very experienced.”

The Black Disaster is terrifying, bizarre, undying, and elusive.

Having even a slight contact with it poses a huge menace.

So no one ever thought someone could eliminate a Black Disaster so easily and exaggeratedly.

Lin Yiyi didn’t speak;she simply stared intently at Yu Hong, watching as he finished dealing with the situation in the ruins.

She didn’t know why Yu Hong had come here, her limited intelligence not enough to understand this step.

She only knew that Yu Hong never left his small base, but now, he was here.

And last time, Yu Hong had given her so many supplies, so much support…

“USB drive…” she suddenly spoke up. “We won’t mention this… we must make the USB drive… public!”

Immediately, everyone snapped back to attention. Yes, the USB drive was the most crucial matter now.

The contents were serious, potentially involving many important figures!

“The Deer Squad is directly subordinate to Commissioner Chen Xiguang of the coalition forces, the ultimate armed force maintaining Aurora City, definitely trustworthy. The USB can be handed over to Commissioner Chen!” Li Han quickly said.

“Whether we hand it over or not, we are now all in the know;everyone be careful from now on!” Xue Ningning spoke solemnly. “Yiyi.” She looked at Lin Yiyi.

“You must alert Yu Hong who supports you, this matter is too big for us.”

“Okay!” Lin Yiyi nodded vigorously.

Department of Investigation building.

Xin Zhilei abruptly rose from her seat.

She stared intently at the projection screen, watching Yu Hong furiously beat the Black Blood People.

“How is that possible? How can there be a person with such a high level of enhancement?!” She couldn’t believe that humans still possessed such exaggerated individual strength.

“What is that white light, what is going on?!”

Her fist clenched, she thought everything had settled, but now a big problem had arisen.

“Who is this person?” A burly man in a metallic mask stepped out from the darkness behind and asked in a deep voice.

His gaze was also tightly fixed on Yu Hong, his voice grave.

“Black Wind Camp’s owner, Yu Hong. He was once rescued by the mutant Lin Yiyi from the investigation team and later started from scratch, building the prototype of Black Wind Camp near Baiqiu Village, expanding it several times to form the camp as it is now. And with a small team, he has survived the Black Disaster so far.” Xin Zhilei quickly recited all of Yu Hong’s information.

“This man is not weak in combat, I know, and he also has strong scientific research capabilities. The Radiation Hand Grenade and radiation bombs, along with the vortex talisman array, they are all his own inventions. They are very effective against low to mid-level Black Disaster.”

She paused.

“I had heard before that he repelled the Black Disaster, but I never imagined he could directly repel Black Blood People, a higher-level Black Disaster!”

“Black Blood People are not Black Disaster,” corrected the burly masked man, “To be precise, Black Blood People are a combination of enhanced humans and Black Disaster, leaning more towards enhanced humans. They just possess the super regenerative abilities of the Black Disaster. Thus, they don’t fear any negative radiation weapons until they are completely crushed.”

“No difference,” Xin Zhilei turned back to look at the man, “The problem now is, if the Black Blood People can’t be totally eliminated, all my people are exposed in advance, how do we handle this!”

“Seize power,” the burly masked man said coolly, “Directly seize power, kill Chen Xiguang, can you do it?”

“This is Donghe, not a small gang where by killing the leader, everyone else will listen to you!” Xin Zhilei said sharply.

“Then withdraw. Abandon this place, return to headquarters for modification,” the burly masked man replied. “An unforeseen complication has arisen that neither of us can control, making any hasty decisions in response would be irrational.”

“What about my losses?” Xin Zhilei shouted angrily.

“So, you have only two choices;either, fight to the death and try to seize power. Or, leave immediately and abandon everything, I have already arranged a way out,” the burly masked man responded.

“I’ve contributed so much resource and information to the association, and this is the result?!” Xin Zhilei glared fiercely at the man.

“You should know the situation of the association. It was you who approached them initially because you wanted something,” the burly masked man turned and quietly disappeared into the shadow.

Leaving Xin Zhilei trembling with anger, but helpless, she quickly began issuing a series of commands.

After confirming the deployment was complete, she quickly left headquarters, escorted by a group of guards, heading toward the hospital.

The big moves from Echo Troop couldn’t be hidden, and coupled with the water situation, once the second Aurora City took action, the committees wouldn’t hesitate at all. No movement means stability, but any action would shatter the heavens and the earth.

So, if she wanted to escape, she had to appear as if she were about to seize power immediately, to settle the minds of the forces backing her, buying time for her withdrawal.

Additionally, she needed to consider the follow-up treatment and security for her son after he left.

In the factory ruins.

The scene of Yu Hong crushing the Black Blood People was very impressive, certainly more powerful than the bullets and explosions just now.

Every kick he made was comparable to an extremely concentrated, high-power targeted explosion.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

In the ruins, repeated bomb-like leg whips made the Black Blood Person’s body tissue lesser and lesser.

He frantically tried to heal and repair himself, but before he could repair much, he was immediately kicked apart again.

His arms were firmly grasped, unable to break free, and he fell into a desperate consumption battle with Yu Hong, unable to extricate himself.

Boom!

The final blow.

Inner Qi white light in Yu Hong’s legs heavily struck the lower body of the Black Blood Person.

This time’s release of Inner Qi was several times more than before.

Yes, Yu Hong had become a bit impatient and activated three channels of Inner Qi in his legs.

Thus, this kick completely blew the Black Blood Person’s body apart, splattering blood rain everywhere.

Only the two arms, still firmly held by Yu Hong, remained somewhat intact.

Clatter.

He dropped the arms, letting them roll on the ground, spilling black blood.

He looked around at the scattered remains of flesh and blood.

“Your speed is indeed good, but as long as I prevent you from performing, it’s all over.”

The opponent’s strength was just at the level of a typical top-notch enhanced human, not even a match for his normal state, let alone in an Inner Qi burst state.

Sizzle…

Suddenly the blood and flesh on the ground began writhing again, seeming to want to reassemble and revive.

But Yu Hong knelt on one knee, slamming a palm on the ground.

Hiss!

Condensing Water Technique activated, rapidly draining all the moisture within thirty meters towards the ground under his right hand.

With the disappearance of moisture elsewhere, the still-writhing flesh quickly turned black and dried up, completely losing its vitality.

Standing up, Yu Hong integrated the water flow deep into the ground, then casually took out a large radiation bomb and threw it on the ground.

Puff.

The bomb exploded, negative radiation covering tens of meters around.

Immediately, all flesh and blood disintegrated into black smoke, vanishing into the air.
