Catastrophe Containment Facility-Chapter 75 A New Mission

75: Chapter 75: A New Mission

75 -75: A New Mission

Soon, several days had passed, and during those days, Wen Wen didn’t go out hunting for monsters, but stayed at home like a salted fish since the Sanctuary was undergoing an upgrade, and he really couldn’t muster the energy to hunt monsters.

“Seriously, the Catastrophe Containment Facility is not user-friendly at all.

At least give me a progress bar when upgrading.

Without a progress bar, who knows when it’ll be complete.”

Wen Wen complained while he carved the last rune on a bamboo piece and then tried to channel a vampire’s strength into the runes.

The bamboo piece was quiet for a second or two, then started to crackle and spit out sparks, making Wen Wen scramble in a panic.

Shortly after, the entire bamboo piece turned black.

“Failed…”

“Maybe it’s not a failure, after all…

there was a reaction this time, wasn’t there.” Wen Wen grounded the powder, took a whiff under his nose, and thought the smell was quite alright.

Suddenly, Wen Wen’s phone rang.

It was Lin Zheyuan calling.

“Hello, Captain Lin, what’s up now?

My phone is almost blown up by your calls.”

Out of every ten calls Wen Wen received, at least four were from Lin Zheyuan, another four were from other people at the Hunter Association, and only the last two were Wen Wen’s personal calls.

“On the highway from Furong River City to the capital, Sheng’an City, there have already been more than a dozen people missing.

The investigation suggests it might be a supernatural event.

Can you handle it?”

“Hmm…

sure.”

Wen Wen thought about it for a moment and agreed.

Not going out to seek was one thing, but having something to do and not going was another.

He wanted to try out the power of his newly acquired weapon, so making a trip was also feasible.

Lin Zheyuan said with a laugh, “Great, you’ll leave this afternoon.”

“We?” Wen Wen frowned, as it wouldn’t be easy to operate with others around.

“Yes, Lin Lu and Yan Xiu will also go with you.

After the Mr.

L incident, Furong River City has quieted down quite a bit, so consider this trip a breather for you three.”

“But…” Wen Wen tried to think up an excuse to decline.

“No buts, you’ve already agreed.” Lin Zheyuan hung up, leaving Wen Wen unable to finish his sentence.

He lit a cigarette and stood by the window, blowing clouds of smoke.

Lin Zheyuan liked this spot, looking over this city, with his duty to protect it.

Only standing here could he feel a slight sense of fulfillment.

Whether the missing cases on the highway were actually influenced by supernatural powers had yet to be confirmed.

The missing persons consisted of a mixed group, including long-haul truck drivers, traveling couples, and even a police officer who had gone to investigate.

All these people had vanished without a trace in less than a week, totaling more than a dozen disappearances.

It could just be ordinary highway robbers, or a coincidence, but they still needed to send someone to investigate.

However, this level of case didn’t require three people to go together, Lin Zheyuan had other plans in sending the trio.

Yan Xiu, newly arrived at the Furong River branch, was somewhat haughty and dismissive of others, so sending him on a mission with others was good for grinding his attitude down a bit.

And Wen Wen had been hesitant to join the Association, so getting him to act together with others would help foster his positive feelings toward the Association.

If those feelings grew strong enough, he might just comply eventually.

As for Lin Lu, Lin Zheyuan sent her just in case something unexpected occurred.

Though young and somewhat scatterbrained, she was already an experienced Demon Hunter.

…well, Lin Lu had been clamoring to go out and clear her mind these past few days, and Lin Zheyuan, tired of her nagging, sent her too.

Regarding Uncle Gong’s ordeal, Lin Zheyuan no longer doubted Wen Wen as he once had.

Time could prove many things, and Lin Zheyuan had kept an eye on Wen Wen’s behavior during this period.

He was sure Wen Wen didn’t have significant issues, and since that was the case, he would try his best to get Wen Wen to join the Association.

He actually thought highly of Wenwen because Wenwen possessed a trait that many excellent Hunters have.

That is the obsession with hunting monsters!

Whether it’s for thrill, money, desire, or hatred, as long as one has the obsession to hunt monsters, they are the talent the Hunters Association needs.

…

At noon, Wenwen’s room door was knocked open, and Lin Lu and Yan Xiu, wearing a mask, stood at the doorstep of Wenwen’s family.

“Let’s get going, the scenery on that road is beautiful; maybe we can have some fun,” Lin Lu said, wearing a sun hat and carrying a small backpack on her back, it was unclear what was inside.

She was dressed in a half-sleeve shirt and hot pants paired with white stockings.

She had a scarf tied around her neck, and the sharp-eyed Wenwen immediately noticed that the scarf was hiding a scar.

From the little trace that was visible, it seemed to be caused by something like tentacles wrapped around her neck.

It must have been damage from the last Paradise incident.

Yan Xiu was dressed just like the last time they met, wearing a white mask and looking aloof.

He said to Wenwen in a deep voice, “Hurry up and get ready; don’t make me wait too long, my time is very precious.”

Wenwen smiled helplessly, picked up the already prepared package, locked the door, and went downstairs with them.

Yan Xiu walked in front, while Wenwen and Lin Lu whispered to each other behind him.

“Hey, that thick and long thing of yours—it’s not that, is it!” Lin Lu said excitedly, covering her mouth.

Even as a superpower user, she was influenced by Wenwen’s charm ability; otherwise, with their relationship, Lin Lu would not be chatting so intimately with Wenwen.

Still, this kind of influence was only to the extent of enhancing favorability, not to the point of being clingy.

If some sleazy men obtained this ability, they might be thrilled to insanity.

“Yeah, you’re right, it’s that!” Wenwen responded, patting it twice.

“It’s so thick and long, it must be thrilling, Captain Lin never lets me touch such nice things,” Lin Lu said, her eyes sparkling, hoping to reach out and touch, but Wenwen blocked her hand.

Wenwen held the RPG rocket launcher across his chest, gently stroking it, and said, “I’ve fired it a few times, this thing is really a blast!”

“Lin Zheyuan said I’m just a girl, I shouldn’t play with such violent things, can you lend it to me to try?” Lin Lu asked Wenwen with a hopeful face.

Wenwen immediately stuffed the rocket launcher back into the bag and said expressionlessly, “No, this is mine.”

Lin Lu: “Meow meow meow?”

Rejecting so straightforwardly and bluntly, a real straight man!

Yan Xiu stood downstairs, watching the two come out.

He was wearing a mask, so his expressions were hidden, but his eyes shifted back and forth between the two.

The conversation just then made his imagination run wild, and seeing Wenwen take out the RPG rocket launcher was even more surprising to him.

Are all the people in the Hunters Association like this?

As the bishop said, the Demon Hunters in the Association are indeed vulgar people…

All three got into Wenwen’s black sedan and rushed to the road where the incident occurred.

Of course, Wenwen was driving, and after a bit of communication, Wenwen realized that neither of them had driven themselves here!

Lin Lu said she was a girl and didn’t know how to drive, and as for Yan Xiu… he was only skilled in exorcising demons, but he didn’t know how to drive!

“I doubt you know how to drive, but I have no proof.”

Wenwen said seriously.
