Secret Buyer-Chapter 106 - 100: When I Awaken

Present world, underground.

The handsome young man slowly opened his eyes and stretched lazily.

"What happened to you just now?" The emaciated woman lying on him asked curiously, "You were in a daze for a good half an hour."

Silent Fury Buddha Son reached out and patted the dry little head of Mingfei behind him:

"Nothing."

"Something’s definitely up." Mingfei pouted, muttering softly, "You seem very pleased right now, exceptionally pleased."

"I’ve never seen you this happy before, not even when you met that talented and beautiful bald person."

"Not even when serving the Great Black Heaven."

Buddha Son scratched his bald head:

"Really? It’s actually nothing, just... I seem to have found a ray of light."

"A ray of light?" The withered woman was like a curious child, "What is it?"

"Still uncertain if it’s real or not."

Buddha Son was slightly lost in thought:

"Tell me, do you think there really are gods in this world who show compassion for all living things?"

"What nonsense!"

The ugly, skinny Mingfei scoffed:

"How can one become a god if not extremely greedy, cold-blooded, and selfish?"

"Yes, yes."

Buddha Son murmured, pondering the merciful demeanor the mysterious Celestial Venerate displayed towards Jiangzhou,

and the unimaginable grandeur of the past era spoken of by Him.

"But what if it’s true?"

Buddha Son pinched Human Treasure’s face hard, causing the weakened Niu Dali to let out a low growl of reluctant humiliation.

"Hmm, it seems it’s not a dream."

Buddha Son muttered, glancing at Human Treasure:

"Stop wailing; once you chew me a way out of Jiangzhou, I’ll let you go, you fake Buddha!"

......

"Group Ten has received the message and is conducting a neighborhood search, looking for those two undercover agents."

Zhou Muniu, wearing a mask, spoke into his earpiece in a low voice:

"Actually, I think catching them doesn’t really make a difference."

As he spoke, he listened quietly to the heartbeats, chose a residential building with the most people, and raised his hand, causing a gust of wind,

shattering the windows of the entire building amidst cries of alarm.

Zhou Muniu sprayed a faint red mist at the residential building and continued speaking into the earpiece:

"After all, the Divine Descent in the Lower Three Districts will begin in half an hour, and by then the Flesh and Blood Fungus will have fully formed, and they won’t be able to leave Jiangzhou City."

The laughter of the Group Eight leader came through the earpiece:

"If you’re not capturing them, why search? It still counts as a contribution, and most importantly, these two Martial Arts Masters, one was heavily injured..."

"Their skin, flesh, blood, and bones are all excellent treasures, and their organs are top-grade Five-Element Medicine!"

Zhou Muniu scoffed:

"I’m just saying, we still have to catch them. Let’s see who gets there first, huh?"

With that, he pressed the earpiece to temporarily turn it off.

"Boss." Lin Xiaocao spoke casually: "If we do catch them, I’m not going in, okay? We Twelve Refinements, going up against Martial Arts Masters, a scratch can hurt us, a hit can kill us."

The other nine team members all nodded in agreement.

"Who said you’re going in?"

Zhou Muniu said irritably as he walked:

"Just help suppress them a bit. If I do manage to snag the body, the biggest contributor gets a share of the organs!"

The team members’ eyes gleamed, and they couldn’t help but lick their lips, swallowing saliva eagerly.

They were all Twelve Refinements.

What restricted them was the Five-Element Medicine—natural Five-Element Medicine was too expensive. Just one might not be enough, possibly needing many,

while artificial medicine was similar to natural medicine. Normally, even hundreds of hearts might not help uncover the heart’s greatest secret, but...

If it’s replaced with the organs of a Martial Arts Master, who has already uncovered great secrets, as artificial medicine,

even one share would suffice.

This type of medicine was also referred to as ’Top-Grade Medicine.’

Of course, this stuff was rare and couldn’t be left detached from the body for more than twelve hours; it almost had to be freshly killed.

Normally, it isn’t easy to kill a Martial Arts Master.

Each one is a renowned powerhouse!

Lin Xiaocao drooled with anticipation:

"Boss, I have a feeling we might really pull it off this time. I’ll go find a supermarket and get a pot. It’ll be convenient to cook the heart and lungs later... barbecue isn’t bad either."

"Can you not be so disgusting?" Zhou Muniu gave her a kick: "Just extract the great secret material from it, are you really going to eat it raw?"

"Eating it raw minimizes loss! We don’t contract prion diseases, ya know."

Lin Xiaocao muttered as the group entered a new neighborhood, with precision lenses identifying each person’s infection status with the Flesh Plague.

Before they arrived, sixty vanguard teams had already quietly spread the Flesh Plague in Jiangzhou City.

The streets were mostly empty now, with an eighty-year-old granny sitting in a chair, selling roasted sweet potatoes.

"Why is there someone like this in the Third District?" one team member wondered aloud, "Even though this is a small town, it’s still the Third District, right?"

"It’s normal. Not everyone in the Third District is affluent—manservants, maids, nannies, drivers... there are plenty, maybe a servant’s family member."

Lin Xiaocao said as she walked forward with a mischievous smile.

The elderly woman slowly raised her head, looking at these people in protective suits and masks, and asked blankly:

"Are you... the disinfection team?"

She saw the pigtail-wearing young girl nod as she approached and cheerfully said:

"Yes, we’re the disinfection team."

"Oh!"

The grandmother chuckled with delight:

"The disinfection team is good, indeed better than my grandson... here, young lady, would you like a sweet potato? You all look tired."

Her smile was kindly:

"Grandma offers you this... speaking of which, what are you disinfecting for?"

"Grandma." Lin Xiaocao approached, giving a sweet smile: "We’re disinfecting the lower class people."

The grandmother seemed confused, thinking she had misheard:

"What? I didn’t quite catch that..."
