Chapter 57 Arriving at White Crane Town
In an abandoned house somewhere, the radio also sounded. Lin Xuan was overjoyed.
“The appearance of the Fifth Realm demon beasts from the Inferior Demon Mountain will definitely cause chaos in the Germinal Organization base. It’s time to deliver the information.”
Lin Xuan patted his avatar.
The next moment, two figures rushed out of the abandoned house from both sides and ran north.
Even in his armor, Lin Xuan’s speed was still very fast. In just a minute, he had already crossed more than 500 meters. The equipment on his avatar was even lighter, allowing his avatar to travel even faster.
In Manager Number One’s office, the white-haired Number One’s eyes suddenly turned sharp. He suddenly got up and stood on the balcony, looking at the wilderness in the distance that was enveloped by the night.
Under the broad perception of the region, the night seemed to not exist.
He could see the stacked buildings under his feet. He could also see the demon beasts killing the weak wasteland reclaimers as well as the martial artists surging out from various dormitories to save the situation.
Further away, he saw the hungry and cold refugees in the shack outside the base. At this moment, a young refugee girl was too hungry and fainted.
Number One did not stop for a moment as his gaze continued to move forward.
He saw two figures running north at high speed under the night sky.
In the past, he would not have stopped them.
This was because there were such people almost every night. The refugees only knew that there was a Construction Division in the north, but they did not know how far the Construction Division was from the Germinal Organization base.
They fantasized about crossing the wilderness at night, but they did not know that the wilderness was not a place where weak martial artists could casually advance.
In the past, Number One would not have cared at all and had allowed these stupid people to advance, allowing them to go wherever they wanted.
However, now, when the Germinal Organization was about to attack White Crane Town, he needed to be vigilant of anyone who ran out of the Germinal base.
Manager Number One had long known that there might be a spy in the Germinal Organization base, a spy from the Construction Division.
This was the information provided by the Germinal spy in White Crane Town.
However, he could not find out who this person was.
“Number Three, please capture them for me.”
Number One grabbed the communicator beside the table and said in a deep voice.
Manager Number Three was currently busy saving the martial artists. After hearing Manager Number One’s description, he immediately turned around and left, allowing the martial artists beside him to be crazily slaughtered by the Fifth Realm demon beasts.
Compared to stopping the Fifth Realm demon beast, it was clearly more important to capture the two possible spies.
Manager Number Three quickly advanced. The night wind cut the hair on his face like a knife.
He was very fast and covered more than 30 meters in a second.
Soon, when the tall shadow of the ruined White Water City appeared in front of him, he saw the two figures.
Lin Xuan frowned slightly.
Could it be? The Germinal Organization was so chaotic, but they still had to send Manager Number Three to catch possible spies?
What if the two of us were only refugees that wanted to travel to the Construction Division to seek out a good life?
“We’ll split into two directions. Let’s see how you choose.”
Lin Xuan controlled his avatar to get away from him.
His main body and avatar split into two directions and entered the ruined city from both sides, disappearing instantly like a drop of water fusing into the sea.
Manager Number Three did not stop at all. He rubbed his skill and also formed an avatar!
Lin Xuan cursed.
Damn, this guy also learned the Avatar Technique.
He just did not know what level and grade Manager Number Three’s avatar technique was.
However, Lin Xuan realized that Manager Number Three probably wouldn’t bother investing into the Avatar Technique. At most, his Avatar Technique was only at the precious purple grade.
Because the Avatar Technique, Observer Technique, Weaken, Disguise, and Perception were almost useless in battle, very few people were willing to learn them, let alone invest precious experience points.
Seeing that the one chasing after him was Manager Number Three’s avatar, Lin Xuan immediately smiled and steadied himself.
He immediately increased his speed and rushed north.
His avatar had already seen White Crane Town from afar, so he had long thought of the fastest path to White Crane Town.
At this moment, his main body and avatar could quickly circle around every bus and fallen tree in this ruined city and accurately shorten the distance through small alleys.
In this aspect, Manager Number Three was inferior to him.
Number Three sensed that the distance was difficult to close and immediately became solemn.
It was simply impossible for an ordinary refugee to be so agile! Manager Number One was right. The other party was probably a spy sent by the Construction Division to the Germinal Organization. This time, he was probably delivering information to the Construction Division!
Number Three immediately activated his skill, Wind Walk, and his movement speed increased by 50%.
This was also one of the skills Lin Xuan had failed to detect with his Observer skill.
Sensing Manager Number Three’s speed increase, Lin Xuan was not too surprised.
After all, the other party was one of the people with the highest positions in the Germinal Organization. He was a level nine Sixth Realm martial artist. It would be strange if he did not even have such a trump card.
Seconds and minutes passed. Lin Xuan finally saw the thick outline of White Crane Town under the night sky!
At this moment, Manager Number Three’s main body was already within 10 meters of Lin Xuan’s avatar.
This distance was already enough for him to attack.
Manager Number Three directly used a Slide Shovel to destroy Lin Xuan’s avatar in one hit. Then, he quickly placed the Poison Frost Blade on his neck.
However, before he could ask, Lin Xuan’s avatar quickly disappeared, leaving behind the ordinary white equipment.
Manager Number Three was stunned. The other party had actually learned the Avatar Technique?
This skill was not as unpopular as Weaken, but learning another skill like this meant that one would need to spend a lot of additional experience points.
An ordinary martial artist would not even have time to advance their own cultivation. How could they care about a skill that did not have much combat strength?
“My avatar can still catch up to him!”
Manager Number Three sat down and focused on controlling his avatar.
Lin Xuan casually condensed an Icicle skill and smashed it towards his back.
Manager Number Three’s avatar suddenly dodged.
However, just as he dodged, another five to six Icicles attacked him.
Among the four types of elemental spells, fire spells focused on direct damage alone, lightning spells focused on group damage, poison spells focused on continuous health reduction, and frost spells focused on causing negative status. To be more precise, they focused on the causing negative status of speed reduction and frost.
Number Three’s avatar did not expect this. After receiving two Icicles, its speed immediately decreased by 10%.
It was this small difference that made the distance between the two increase.
Now, they had already entered the warning range of White Crane Town.
Manager Number Three did not continue forward. If he continued forward, he would attract the Seventh Realm martial artist in White Crane Town to support the other party.
He believed that he did not have the ability to defeat a Seventh Realm martial artist.
Manager Number Three looked deeply at the iron-skinned figure and disappeared into the night.
“Stop! Who are you?!”
A loud roar sounded from the city wall of White Crane Town.
Lin Xuan raised his hands. “Refugee, I was lucky enough to escape from the Germinal Organization.”
The door opened slightly and two soldiers in armor walked out, staring at Lin Xuan suspiciously.
“The Germinal base is more than a hundred kilometers away. How did you get here?” Lin Xuan scratched his head. “I walked here with my feet.”
The two of them: “…Please follow us to the temporary resettlement point first. We want to ask you a comprehensive list of questions.”
Lin Xuan shook his head. “That’s naturally not a problem. However, if we delay such an important matter, you won’t be able to bear the consequences. I suggest that you let me speak directly to the mayor.”
After all, Number Three had seen him arrive at White Crane Town. It was impossible for Manager Number One to not react after finding out about this. It was very likely for the battle date to be brought forward.
