Chapter 1159: Abnormal Humans

“It’s already been several minutes…”

In the Corridor on the first floor, Mu Chen was pressed tightly against one side of the wall, nervously scanning left and right…

“I haven’t encountered any attacks so far. Could it be because someone has taken some kind of countermeasure? Hmm… Speaking of which, the last thing I heard was from Black Silk. I didn’t catch the whole thing, but the second half of ‘stand still’… should mean not to move… And thinking back carefully, the spot where she was standing was the one closest to the staircase.”

Mu Chen looked toward the empty staircase… In fact, there were still several people between him and the staircase, but the incident happened so suddenly that he couldn’t remember who was in front of him, nor could he figure out their exact positions. The only thing he was sure of at the time was that there was “no one on either side” of him; otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to press himself against the wall so easily.

“As for Yu Shiran, who entered first, she should also be nearby… In other words, as long as the Black Silk captain can pinpoint Yu Shiran’s position, she can go straight to the second floor… This deduction is simple, and I’m sure I’m not the only one who thought of it. Even if the others didn’t, they should still be waiting patiently.”

Just as Mu Chen thought of this, his expression suddenly turned grim.

“No, I missed an abnormal human…”

In the silence, Mu Chen, standing there alone, suddenly felt his scalp tingle…

Acting rashly is an opportunity, but also a risk.

Facing an enemy whose species is unknown, it’s best to be as cautious as possible…

“But that madman… he probably won’t take the usual path…”

Creak-

Yuwen Xuan gently pushed open a door behind him, then slowly backed into the room.

As he entered, he still kept close to the wall, but once inside, he relaxed completely.

“Hmm… Here, I shouldn’t have to worry about running into anyone… And I can better deal with any possible attacks. Ah, if only everyone could hide in a room.”

Yuwen Xuan closed the door behind him and looked around.

“I happened to stop outside this room; the others probably aren’t so lucky. They should all be in the Corridor now. Unable to move, they’re no different from stationary targets. If the enemy has a knife, they can easily approach us. But… no trap is invincible. So even if the enemy can get close, they might still reveal a flaw.”

“The shield on us is also a kind of energy. No matter what kind of attack the enemy uses, it will collide with this force… If they use a gun to attack from a fixed spot, it might even directly expose their position.” 𝔯åΝô฿Еṡ

“But that’s not the key point… The main thing is… the enemy’s primary target is Ling Mo and his group.”

If they’re the target, then the attack should have happened as soon as they were caught.

“Hmm… underestimated… Looks like the enemy thinks that as long as they trap us for a while, it’ll be enough. By then, even if they’ve spent a lot of energy, it’ll be easy to deal with us.”

Yuwen Xuan took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, then a ball of Flame appeared on his fingertip. He shoved both hands into his pockets and walked further into the room.

“I used to think I could help them a lot… but now I realize, even if I helped him guard the miracle, the foundation still came from himself. Although he did use the miracle’s power, to be honest, it wasn’t much. On the other hand, this new Base came with all sorts of bonuses… like threats from Falcon, internal observation, and restless ambitions… My usual absence became a deterrent, but now it doesn’t work anymore. Ling Mo obviously knows this too, which is why he left Falcon alone for now and rushed out to look for food and weapons. Once that batch of food is brought back, at least morale will stabilize. And if he gets this batch, then he’ll really be rolling in resources…”

“No matter what, what I’ve helped with is really too little…”

“Just like back then… without power… you’ll be underestimated… they’ll protect me, but won’t rely on me…”

He stared at the cigarette in his mouth… Clearly, he couldn’t see any smoke.

Once the trap was fully activated, all they could see was a fixed scene.

An empty, desolate office building…

“I know I’m not strong… but I still have to prove that I’m not so easily messed with.”

Only by being strong enough… can I roam the world like Ling Mo…

And only then, might I be able to find her…

“I hope that when I find you, I’m stronger than you… That way, I can be the one to protect you…”

This was a not-too-large office, divided into an Inner Room and an outer room.

Yuwen Xuan walked straight into the Inner Room, then looked at the window.

Outside the shattered window was nothing but wild grass, and not a sound came from outside. But Yuwen Xuan knew, this was only the scene he could see and hear.

“Maybe Ling Mo and the others have already engaged the enemy.”

Yuwen Xuan stared out the window for a moment, then took the cigarette from his mouth.

Holding the cigarette, he reached it toward the window.

“Judging from what happened earlier… the enemy’s shield probably covers the entire granary. But no matter what, there will always be weak spots left behind… For example, places left for their own people to pass through.”

There’s no such thing as a shield that recognizes people… The reason some people aren’t affected is because the superhuman who cast it deliberately weakened the effect on them. The stronger they are, the more precise their control over energy. But if they’re not strong enough, they can only deliberately leave some loopholes to make sure their own people aren’t affected. And this way, it also reduces some energy consumption.

To cover a granary like this, the enemy’s strength is certainly not weak. But no matter how strong, it’s impossible to cover such a large area and still take care of all their own people without a single leak… That’s too hard.

Maybe one person could do it, but this time, it’s clearly more than one layer of shield.

“So… I have a chance to find these loopholes… That’s what I can do right now…”

Yuwen Xuan’s hand suddenly paused, he saw…

On the dimly glowing tip of the cigarette, a faint wisp of smoke finally drifted up…

“The shield’s… weak spot… is right here.”
