Chapter 661: Being Spied On
All the staff members in the guild’s front desk were all beautiful girls. They were wearing unified uniforms.
Many girls were actually eager to work in this guild. At least, this job didn’t engage in heavy labor, while it provided a decent and stable income. In this post-apocalyptic world, having such a good job could be regarded as a blessing.
Of course, some of these girls had an ugly motive—they wanted to seduce powerful paranormals as they worked there.
The girl before Jiang Liushi belonged to the above-mentioned category. Although she wore her uniform like the others, her bust size was… grand. Thus, her shirt seemed tighter, revealing her seductive outline. In addition, her smile was attractive.
The girl was ogling Jiang Liushi regardless of all the girls standing beside him, especially Li Yuxin.
In truth, Jiang Liushi’s appearance had greatly changed during the past two years’ evolution. He stood out among others with nearly perfect looks and was quite attractive. Moreover, when Jiang Liushi filled the form about his power level, he wrote, ‘Level-2 A’.
Then he passed the test easily. The ‘Level-2 A’ meant the paranormal was almost to a level-3 one. In this guild, such a group of people could be regarded as the top ones. After all, the current level-3 paranormals in the world had achieved that level due to the Genetic Evolution Serum. Almost all of them were a part of Genesis’ inner circle.
Given his outstanding strength and perfect appearance, Jiang Liushi instantly became the ideal boyfriend in the world, except for Genesis’ top members. That’s why this beauty, fearless of danger and adversaries, was trying to flirt with Jiang Liushi.
“Mr. Jiang, given your strength, you are eligible to choose this task,” said the beauty gently.
Jiang Zhu was the name Jiang Liushi called himself casually. After all, many people had heard of Jiang Liushi’s feats. He didn’t want to fight against Genesis without the necessary preparations, so he made up a new name, using a character from his and his sister’s name, respectively.
“Well…” Jiang Liushi looked at the detailed report on the Shi Ying guerrillas. The report included Zhang Hai and Sun Kun’s photos. Although they were taken from a distance and weren’t clear enough, Jiang Liushi verified that they were Zhang Hai and Sun Kun.
More importantly, Jiang Liushi knew their exact location—Lan Jiang Mountain. As long as they found Lan Jing Mountain, they could find them easily.
“Mr. Jiang, is it your first time in Huaxia Base City? I will be off work in half an hour. If you have any questions about the Huaxia Base City, you can ask me. I will explain everything as long as it’s in my capabilities. You just need to invite me to have a meal,” the beauty said with a shining smile. At the same time, she intentionally or unintentionally pressed her collar while speaking to Jiang Liushi.
“No, thank you.” Jiang Liushi smiled and refused. In his eyes, the girl in front of them was beautiful, but her life magnetic field was quite weak. She was far inferior when compared with Li Yuxin and other girls in his team.
“Brother Jiang, someone is spying on us.” At that moment, Ran Xiyu’s voice suddenly sounded in Jiang Liushi’s mind.
“Oh?” Jiang Liushi was stunned.
Did someone recognize them? Before coming here, all the Shi Ying Squad members used disguises. Jiang Zhuying and other girls also wore masks and sunglasses.
Jiang Liushi didn’t wear such accessories as Starseed subtly changed his appearance. Moreover, he had evolved greatly during the two years, so others could not recognize him easily.
Not to mention that Genesis’ upper echelon was under the impression that Jiang Liushi had died a long time ago.
“The girl at the B1 counter is spying on us,” explained Ran Xiyu.
She was about 18 or 19 years old and looked pretty shy. When Jiang Liushi looked at her, she was redeeming points for a team. However, she was simultaneously observing Shi Ying Squad with her peripheral vision. If not for Ran Xiyu’s perfect perception, nobody could notice this detail.
“Mark her,” ordered Jiang Liushi.
“No problem.” Ran Xiyu nodded, and all of a sudden, a spiritual mark branded the girl, but nobody could detect it.
Since all the girls would change shifts half an hour later, Jiang Liushi decided to lead his party to wander around the guild’s surrounding environment. He used a mutant nuclei to buy one bottle of low-level Genetic Evolution Serum from a paranormal.
Soon, Li Yuxin finished analyzing it, and she concluded the Genetic Evolution Serum was strange.
“Brother Jiang, they changed shifts…”
Jiang Liushi nodded. The guild was open 24/7, with three shifts a day in total. Jiang Liushi saw many girls coming in and out wearing their uniforms. When that beauty left, she said goodbye to Jiang Liushi many times, but he just smiled. All his attention was focused on that mysterious girl.
“Let’s go! Follow her,” Jiang Liushi ordered after the mysterious girl disappeared from the entrance about ten minutes later. They just followed her from afar. Ran Xiyu had already marked her, so they could follow her from afar, even if she were several kilometers away. As a result, the marked party couldn’t notice them.
“She changed clothes, entered an alley, and then got on a van in a corner.”
Jiang Liushi nodded. He factored in the girl’s income and found it impossible for her to drive to work. Although vans could be found everywhere, the price of gas was terrible. Leaning on a moneybag may be one way, but that mysterious girl didn’t belong to this group of girls.
“We are keeping up with her, no hurry.”
Twenty minutes later…
The van was finally parked in front of an abandoned factory. In fact, Huaxia City Base itself was a giant state with a large area. There were many deserted areas in such a big city, so it was a quite normal thing to live in such an abandoned factory. However, it was too far away from the city center, so the car became a necessity.
Truth be told, many paranormal teams would like to live in such an environment.
The mysterious girl put on her sunglasses before entering the factory. She walked toward an ordinary corner and opened a broken iron gate. Behind the iron gate was a basement, and more than a dozen people were gathered in there.
The leader was a girl in blue, about 26 years old, with a special force field.
“Yu’er, you are here. Anyone followed you?” asked the girl in blue.
The mysterious girl, called Yu’er, answered, “No, I was very careful.”
Then she added with a sad expression, “I have bad news and worse news…”
She didn’t want to bring bad news, but that was the case now. During the past few days, they had heard no pieces of good news. As such, all the people in the basement looked crestfallen upon hearing her words.
“Tell us. We are prepared for the news.” The girl in blue sighed. “Tell us the bad ones first.”
“Well… I just saw another person back at the guild that chose the task of hunting for Brother Zhang Hai. In addition, he is a ‘Level-2 A’ paranormal,” Yu’er explained.
The girl in blue nodded and said sadly, “Things are getting worse. Originally, we had more than 20 allies, but only three or five remain after being encircled and suppressed. Moreover, we are cut off. I’m afraid that they will destroy all opposing forces one by one. At that point, Genesis will finally unify the whole world.”
In case a country or nation was conquered and ruled by another, it was not that terrible. However, once people got used to that kind of rule, it would be the most terrible fate.
“Once no other teams assist us in attracting them, our predicament will only become more and more dangerous. Many forces are currently encircling the entire Lan Jing Mountain. As long as the new paranormal joins them, Brother Zhang and the other members will be in extreme danger… You said you have worse news?” barked a 20-year-old young man.
Yu’er was reluctant to nod. “Yes, about the worse news… The Death Team, the one that once focused on us, bought a b-Psychic Shocker from the guild at a high price this morning…”
Everyone was shocked upon hearing Yu’er’s words.
“What!?”
“Really? How could they afford such a high price…” A Psychic Shocker cost 15,000 points, which was even higher than the Shi Ying guerrillas’ total reward!
The most important thing was that only Level-2 B and upper paranormals were allowed to possess Psychic Shockers. However, Level-2 B paranormals were rare.
“That means a Level-2 B paranormal has joined them?”
“Yes. I’m sure. Then, as I saw the Death Team, I took a look at him. He is thin and has deep eye sockets. My soul seemed to be scattered just by looking at him!” said Yu’er.
“Since you had such a feeling, it’s verified. Psychic paranormals can affect others with their spiritual power. Ordinary people cannot withstand this. Things are worse. They will comb through the entire Lan Jiang Mountain within ten days. But Brother Zhang Hai and the other members cannot just await their doom.”
“Then what about informing them to run away as soon as possible?” proposed that young man.
