Free Web NovelChapter 190: Chapter 190: Birdman
With just a single glance, Gao Yuanshan was stunned by Qin Shen’s unusual speed.
’Could he be another superpower user?’
The moment he furrowed his brow, he glanced at the Icebreaker and a mocking smile spread across his face.
He spurred the Vulture onward, sending it speeding toward the Icebreaker.
Jiang Linhai and the others raised their guns, continuously shooting down the Vultures.
They barely managed to cover Niu Niu and get her aboard the Icebreaker.
They wanted to follow right behind, but they were swarmed by flocks of Vultures.
Bo Xi didn’t even have time to summon his insects to help.
Chun, Xia, Qiu, and Dong couldn’t fly, but they too fought against their own kind with all their might.
The monkeys had been trained for this. If they encountered danger, they were to grab guns and open fire.
Agile as they were, they boarded the Icebreaker with Niu Niu. Some even slipped in through a secret passage in the ship’s hull.
Once inside, they quickly grabbed guns, ran to the firing ports, and began spraying the sky with bullets, targeting the Vultures.
With the monkeys providing cover fire, things became much easier for Jiang Linhai’s group.
They were finally able to fight back against the Vultures that swarmed them relentlessly.
Gao Yuanshan watched this scene from high above, the surprise in his eyes growing deeper.
’I thought Qin Shen was the only superpower user, but it looks like there are others hidden among them.’
’What an incredible discovery.’
’According to the organization’s rules, I’m supposed to report any discovery of superpower users immediately.’
’But I know that if the organization sends people, I won’t get my hands on the Superpower Stones inside these people.’
Gao Yuanshan narrowed his eyes and sent the Vulture into a steep dive, targeting Shen Baoying, who was just about to enter the cabin.
’I’ll grab one first to test the waters.’
Jiang Linhai spotted the Vulture Gao Yuanshan was riding and fired at the critical moment, but the creature deftly dodged the bullet.
Just as he was about to fire a second bullet, the Vulture was already upon them, its sharp talons sinking firmly into Shen Baoying’s arm.
Everyone frantically opened fire on that Vulture.
The other Vultures, as if fearless of death, continuously flew into the line of fire to shield it.
By the time Jiang Si and Qin Shen arrived, Gao Yuanshan was already holding Shen Baoying high in the sky, well out of range of their bullets.
Jiang Si clenched her fists tightly, wishing she could conjure a missile in her hand and blast him out of the sky right away.
"Surrender quietly!" Gao Yuanshan laughed wildly as he looked down at Qin Shen and Jiang Si.
"You’ve got to be kidding me!" Jiang Si gritted her teeth.
She said to Qin Shen, "Cover me, I’m getting the helicopter!"
Qin Shen nodded. "Right."
WHOOSH!
A helicopter materialized before their very eyes.
Lu Zhifeng and Bo Xi knew Jiang Si had a superpower, but this was the first time they had truly witnessed it. Seeing her magically conjure a helicopter out of thin air left them utterly stunned.
’So she really was the one who produced that large yacht before.’
’So on top of being able to heal me, Jiang Si had this kind of power too.’
Meanwhile, when Gao Yuanshan saw Jiang Si materialize the helicopter, he grew ecstatic.
’Excellent. Another superpower user.’
’Counting the one who controls the monkeys, that makes three of them here.’
Overcome with excitement, he directed the Vulture to dive at Jiang Si as she was about to board the helicopter.
Just as Jiang Si entered the cockpit...
BOOM—
A massive White Tiger erupted from the ground, leaping into the air and clamping its jaws around the throat of Gao Yuanshan’s Vulture.
The Vulture didn’t even have time to shriek before it crashed heavily to the ground.
Gao Yuanshan had not expected that Qin Shen’s true form would actually be a giant tiger.
He felt the terrifying might of Qin Shen’s power. Fortunately for him, commanding Vultures wasn’t his only skill; he could fly on his own.
SWOOSH. As Qin Shen pounced on the fallen Vulture to rescue Shen Baoying, Gao Yuanshan unfurled a pair of huge, gray wings. He pulled out a pistol and took dead aim at Qin Shen’s eyes.
Jiang Linhai and the others were so stunned by one shocking development after another that their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
’Qin Shen... he can actually turn into a tiger!’
’Wait a minute!’
’Isn’t that Big White!’
’The Big White who saved us before... he’s been by our side this whole time.’
’It makes sense now. Qin Shen’s Healing Power... that matches Big White perfectly!’
’Oh my god, our son-in-law is actually a giant white tiger!’
The moment Qin Shen and Jiang Si revealed their powers, they had no intention of letting this guy get away alive.
’Think he can come and go as he pleases? What a joke.’
The instant Gao Yuanshan fired, Jiang Si started the helicopter, yanked the controls, and shot up into the sky, charging straight for him.
At the same time, Bo Xi and the others snapped back to reality and immediately opened fire on Gao Yuanshan.
The deafening gunfire and the roar of the helicopter’s rotors made Zhang Aihua and his group, hiding in their cave, extremely anxious.
’It sounds incredibly dangerous out there... but if we don’t go out and help, will things be even more dangerous for us later?’
’If Qin Shen’s group survives this, will they think we’re useless and kick us out?’
After a fierce internal debate, Zhang Aihua made his decision: he would lead a group out to assess the situation.
’If the danger is overwhelming, we can just retreat immediately.’
Zhang Aihua said to his people, "This may be a test for us. I hope we can all pass it."
Song Yufang’s eyes filled with tears. "Come back soon!"
Zhang Aihua hugged her, then hugged his son. "Start packing whatever is easy to carry," he said. "If we can’t stay here, we’ll leave at once."
"Okay."
Zhang Aihua took eight of his men, all armed and carrying more than half of their ammunition, and cautiously approached the sounds of the battle.
Suddenly, the roar of an aircraft filled their ears.
They all looked up and were instantly flabbergasted. A man was flying, a pair of wings sprouting from his back.
They thought their eyes were playing tricks on them. After rubbing them hard, one of them exclaimed in disbelief, "President Zhang, a Mutant! It’s a Mutant!"
No sooner had he spoken than they saw the Mutant being chased all over the sky by the helicopter.
What was even more fucking absurd was that there were several monkeys strapped into the helicopter with seat belts, strafing the flying birdman from every angle!
Brother Qiu looked at Zhang Aihua and muttered in disbelief, "I’ve never had a dream this fucking crazy in my entire life!"
He wasn’t the only one; no one had.
Jiang Si’s piloting skills were superb. Every time Gao Yuanshan tried to fight back, he was thwarted by a hail of bullets from the monkeys.
He was confident he could escape if he chose to, but he was unwilling to retreat in such a humiliating fashion.
Not after losing so many of his Vultures.
But Jiang Si was proving to be a real handful. If he wanted to kill them and get their Superpower Stones, he’d have to find another way.
He decided to retreat for now. But as he soared upward, he had no idea that Qin Shen had been aiming at him with a sniper rifle for some time.
CRACK—
He had only flown a few meters when the bullet tore straight through his spine.
Gao Yuanshan let out a muffled grunt as all strength left his body. He went into a dead spin, plummeting from the sky.
THUMP! He slammed into the snowy ground, carving out a huge crater.
