Free Web NovelChapter 554: Chapter 554: A Handful of Yellow Earth
After Leng Yebai cleaned the bus, he didn’t go up to sleep. He simply sat quietly on the sofa, holding a crystal core, absorbing energy.
Leng Yebai has never been a forgiving person. He always seeks revenge, especially when it involves Xiao Niu.
As time ticks away, the entire safety base calms down. Apart from the footsteps of the Superpower User patrol teams, no other sound is audible.
The Bai Family’s rhythmic breaths are audible from the second floor. Leng Yebai goes up again, tucks Bai Xiqin in, and then quietly exits the bus.
After locking the car door, Leng Yebai walks in a certain direction.
Feng Ge, the captain of the Superpower User Squad, resides in the most luxurious villa in the affluent district.
The road isn’t dark. Yunhua Safety Base never lacks electricity, and even at times when no one is walking, the lights remain bright.
From daytime to nighttime, the entire safety base stands bathed in light.
Besides the Base Commander overflowing with thunder power, he also has his own selfish motives.
He hopes that when his son returns home, he can see the road leading back.
It’s superstition, but it’s the only thing he can do.
The Superpower User guarding the villa area gate doesn’t stop Leng Yebai, letting him in directly.
Everyone now knows the Base Commander has a son who resembles him greatly. Seeing Leng Yebai confirms it, so no one blocks him.
"Where does Feng Ge live?" Leng Yebai casually asks a patrolling Superpower User squad member.
"The captain lives in that villa. Do you need me to take you there?"
One squad member warmly smiles at Leng Yebai.
"No need, I can go by myself."
Leng Yebai calmly continues walking towards the villa.
"No wonder the captain has such good connections in the base. Inviting teammates for a dinner gathering late at night, even inviting the Base Commander’s son,"
The squad member mutters, then continues his patrol.
As he approaches the villa, Leng Yebai hears the noisy sounds of drinking and eating from inside.
Inside the villa.
A group of people are playing drinking games, quite lively.
There are more than a dozen people, and several bottles of liquor on the table. The side dishes are a bit meager, only two plates of peanuts and two cold dishes.
The only substantial dish is a pot of mushrooms stewing with chicken.
Even so, the squad members still feel the captain is impressive. Being able to drink liquor is considered luxurious.
"Captain, come, have some too."
A squad member lifts a bottle to pour for Feng Ge.
"I can’t drink recently, you guys go ahead!"
Feng Ge pushes the bottle away, glancing subtly at the drinking members, pouring tea for himself.
Yes, he has poisoned the liquor, and the guests he invited are all either Gold or Wind Ability Users, with abilities above Second Rank.
This way, he can effortlessly break open their skulls to extract crystal cores.
As a Dual Ability User with Wind and Gold abilities, Feng Ge believes that if he can absorb their brain’s crystal cores, he can use his remarkable talent to break through to a Fifth Rank Superpower User.
Once he reaches that level, even the Base Commander might not be his opponent, and he could become the next Base Commander of Yunhua Safety Base.
Neither the Zombie King nor Leng Yebai would stand a chance against him.
Feng Ge naively thinks reaching Fifth Rank will allow him to look down on everyone.
But he’s still too naive. He believes Fifth Rank is the human limit, not knowing he’s only seen a fraction.
Does the Base Commander only have Fifth Rank strength?
Even if he reaches Fifth Rank, could he really defeat Zhang Yiming?
The answer isn’t clear, yet he’s stuck here.
A group of people are eating and drinking, completely unaware that Leng Yebai has already locked the villa’s door and come in through a window. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
One by one, people slump onto the table unconscious. The squad members assume they’re drunk and asleep, but they’re already breathless.
No one bothers waking them; fewer people drinking means more liquor for the rest.
They continue drinking, fearing to miss the rare chance.
Drinking is too luxurious now, so they ignore potential worries. Otherwise, if killed by zombies, they’d lose everything.
When Leng Yebai appears before Feng Ge, everyone else has already fallen.
Feng Ge used potent poison to claim their lives, targeting their brain crystal cores.
Those people are dead.
As for his subordinates, Feng Ge shows no sympathy, having raised them for this purpose.
He told them absorbing human Superpower User brain’s crystal cores rapidly boosts abilities.
Then, wait for them to grow before digging out their brain crystal cores.
Leng Yebai’s arrival surprises Feng Ge but doesn’t cause much astonishment.
"Today’s event was impulsive on my part. Come, since we’re having a gathering, have a drink, as an apology."
Feng Ge smiles faintly, picks up a cup, and offers it to Leng Yebai.
If Leng Yebai drinks, he gains a crystal core effortlessly.
If Leng Yebai refuses, Feng Ge trusts his power is enough to handle him even if unable to defeat the Base Commander.
Without glancing at the cup, Leng Yebai instantly unleashes a powerful superpower wave.
Boom――
A huge blast resonates from Yunhua Safety Base’s luxurious villa district.
The ground trembles.
Everyone lacking a sense of safety wakes abruptly, their first act is to rush towards the base building.
That’s where the Base Commander is, surely safe.
It’s late.
The safety base starts buzzing louder.
The villa district houses the High Rank Superpower Users, but in Feng Ge’s villa, the energy storm stops them from approaching.
The energy storm comes swiftly and fades rapidly.
Half an hour later, Feng Ge’s villa stands in ruins. Bricks and debris, under the intense energy storm, morph into glazed-like material.
When the Base Commander arrives, everything’s over.
"Son, the commotion you caused was big!"
The Base Commander gives a thumbs-up to Leng Yebai, pride beaming on his face.
Leng Yebai holds a shovel, filling a pit with soil, but remains silent to Base Commander’s words, continuing to fill the pit.
The Base Commander sneaks a peek into the pit, his expression twitches, but feigns ignorance.
After placing the final piece of earth, Leng Yebai brushes off the dirt and steps away from the freshly filled soil.
Watching Leng Yebai’s retreating figure, the Base Commander feels slightly sentimental.
His son has great character, even burying the corpses properly!
"Base Commander, what, what happened here?"
A Superpower User runs over from afar, emboldened by the Base Commander’s presence.
"Nothing much, Feng Ge offended the Zombie King and got killed. I’ve already dealt with the Zombie King. You guys clean up here."
The Base Commander calmly points at the corpse in the ruins, "This is the Zombie King."
The Superpower User takes a glance, seeing several corpses burnt beyond recognition in the energy storm.
He can’t distinguish which one is the Zombie King.
Before he can inspect closely,
purple lightning flows from the Base Commander’s hand, sparking flames even from the electricity.
Directly incinerating the corpse to nothing.
