In the MPV, Su Ze appeared somber as he said, "According to our investigation, those Ferals must have lived in the Changliushui scenic area, and slowly evolved into Ferals after the Revival of Qi."
"The local police had tried to contact the management of the scenic area, but there was no response. I'm afraid they are already dead."
Everyone's expression changed at that.
On the other hand, Jiang He frowned.
He knew about Baitugang Village.
It was not far from Jinyintan Village, and was around twenty kilometers away.
Soon, the MPV arrived at the village council.
Several police officers were standing in front of the main entrance, and a middle-aged officer approached them the moment Jiang He and the others got out of the car. He shook Su Ze's hand and said, "You're finally here, Mister Su."
"Chief Zhang, you are more familiar with the situation here. Tell us about it."
Su Ze was clearly familiar with the middle-aged officer.
The officer nodded and said helplessly, "The villagers are panicking right now. They don't know what attacked the village, which is why they are even more terrified."
"Moreover, we went into the mountain to take a look in the afternoon."
"However, before they even entered the Changliushui scenic area, they were attacked by a wild dog. This wild dog was about the size of a cow, and it was very ferocious. From a distance, even a gun could not penetrate its fur. Later, a police officer panicked and shot the wild dog in the eye, which scared it away."
Su Ze was not surprised, and said, "It must have been a rank-one feral. If it was a rank-two feral that excels in speed, you would have a hard time retreating if it charged at full speed."
Chief Zhang smiled bitterly. "Those things are not something we could handle. Mister Su, I'll leave the safety of the villagers to you."
Su Ze nodded.
Chief Zhang turned towards Jiang He and the others.
He could not help doing a double take when he saw Li Fei, and exclaimed in surprise, "You're Xiao Li?"
"Uncle Zhang."
Li Fei greeted him with a smile.
He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and wore a pair of aviator sunglasses even though it was night time, making him look very flashy.
After all, the two villages were not far from each other. Li Fei was also considered a young entrepreneur with some fame in the local area. It was inevitable that he would have dealings with various departments. Naturally, he knew Superintendent Zhang. Superintendent Zhang was a little surprised. However, after Li Fei introduced himself as an Awakened, Superintendent Zhang nodded his head enviously.
As a member of the police force, he knew more than the average person.
He knew very well that with the recovery of spirit qi, society would probably be reshuffled. When that time came...
Superhumans would enter the eyes of the people, and they would become the mainstay of society.
"Xiao Liu, Xiao Wang, you're here too?"
Director Zhang then greeted Wang Siyu and Liu Xue. Apparently, they knew each other.
After all, they had worked together many times.
As for Jiang He, he merely glanced at him but did not ask.
After chatting for a while, Su Ze said, "It's almost ten o 'clock. To prevent any unforeseen events, we should immediately enter the mountain and eliminate the beasts."
"Liu Xue, stay in the village with Wang Siyu just in case. Li Fei, Jiang He, come with me to the mountain."
Wang Siyu immediately said, "Su Ze, isn't that inappropriate? Jiang He is just a beast-tamer and doesn't have the ability to fight. Moreover, he isn't a member of the organization, and I only invited him here to help. Wouldn't I be putting him in danger if I let him enter the mountain? "
Su Ze glanced at Wang Siyu and said lightly, "If he doesn't dare to go, I won't stop him."
"Still, since he has awakened superpowers, he should step forward bravely at a time like this."
Li Fei frowned and muttered, "Su Ze, you're morally blackmailing me!"
"Shut up!"
Su Ze barked coldly. "It's time for action, and I'm the commander of this mission. As a member of the organization, all you have to do is obey orders!"
Heh.
Jiang He was amused.
He stared at Su Ze for a few seconds and couldn't help but laugh. "It seems that the National Special Affairs and Security Administration's manpower shortage is beyond my imagination. As a special agency of the country, don't they conduct a review before hiring? Recruiting all sorts of parasites? "
"Eh?"
Su Ze then turned to Jiang He and flatly said, "What happens to the organization has nothing to do with an outsider like you. Mister Jiang, I won't stop you if you don't want to risk yourself!"
"I repeat, Wang Siyu, Liu Xue, guard the village!"
"Li Fei, bring your weapons and follow me to the mountain!"
With that, he strode out into the night.
Clenching his teeth, Li Fei eventually took out a metal rod from the trunk of his MPV and pointed it at Jiang He. "Jiang He, this is a metal composite weapon I've specifically requested from the organization. It weighs a hundred and eight catties and is most suitable for us Awakened with superstrength. Don't worry, no Feral would be able to hurt you with me protecting you."
Jiang He clapped Li Fei on the shoulder and said, "Be careful later."
He turned to give Wang Siyu a 'don't worry' look before walking into the night with Li Fei.
There was a large canal outside Baitugang Village.
A gravel path extended along the side of the canal, branching off into a fork at the bend in front, leading to the mountain in the distance.
And the scenic area of Changliushui was on that mountain.
Of course.
Although it was called a scenic area, it was more like a farmhouse or a park.
There was a mountain spring on the mountain. The mountain spring gushed out and formed some streams. Then, someone spent money to transform a mountain top, made some artificial fishing lakes, built some ancient-style courtyards, pavilions, and planted some flowers and plants for recreation.
Su Ze walked in front with large strides.
He was a rank-two martial artist and a disciple of the Eight Trigrams School, and his steps were swift with the Eight Trigrams Steps.
Both Jiang He and Li Fei had to jog to keep up.
After walking over a dozen miles in a single breath, a small mountain appeared before them under the moonlight.
From afar, they could vaguely see the buildings on top of the mountain, but there were no lights on the mountain. It was silent and very depressing.
Su Ze stopped and whispered, "Stay close to me and don't run around. There are many Feral footprints here, and I'm afraid there are more than two Ferals on the mountain!"
Li Fei brandished his metal rod a few times and sneered, "Who cares how many there are? I'm going to blow their brains out with one strike!"
After advancing another few hundred meters, Su Ze suddenly stopped and pointed ahead.
A black shadow was crouching on the path ahead.
Its eyes were glinting in an oily green luster as it stared curiously at Jiang He and the others. It slowly rose to its feet and paced left and right, its body hunched as if it would lunge at them at any moment.
"A cat?"
Jiang He's eyes tightened.
It was a black cat!
A black cat that was a meter tall and over two meters long. In terms of size, it could match an adult leopard!
"A rank-one Feral isn't that powerful since it evolved from a normal wildcat … Jiang He, go up and try. See if you could communicate with it with your beast tamer's powers." Su Ze turned towards Jiang He and whispered, "Cats are usually very tame before they evolve. There shouldn't be … Ah!"
Halfway through his words, he saw a fist rapidly enlarging in his eyes. Even with his reflexes as a rank-two martial artist, he could not dodge in time.
Pow!
A dull thud.
All Su Ze felt was a pain on the bridge of his nose before he fainted straight to the ground in the next instant.
"You dog. You know I'm a beast tamer and have no fighting ability, and you still want me to risk my life? Do you really think I'm a pushover?"
"What the …"
