Chapter 1341: The Invisible Man
The mantis man told Huaxia people that blending into the transport team of All Being Base was a very difficult and dangerous mission. But in fact, he wasn’t as nervous as he looked. He was pretty confident in his ability. Huaxia people didn’t yet know exactly how capable he was.
He had taken the drug that Huaxia Base developed to keep zombies away from people, so he wasn’t worried that he might be attacked. In fact, he was actually very confident. He had the confidence that he would be able to easily blend into the team.
He acted like it was mission impossible only because he wanted better treatment after accomplis.h.i.+ng the mission.
Jingyan, who was preparing to give the captain a surprise attack, abruptly give Yan Xiao a hand gesture to signal for the latter to stop. Yan Xiao looked at her with confusion and saw her point at the area behind. From that area, a weird scent was approaching Chen Yuting and his team.
After taking the drug, the scents of the group of Huaxia people suddenly changed. That was the drug’s effect.
The drug didn’t remove their scents entirely but turned it into another scent. It was like a freshly cooked piece of meat suddenly smelt like rotten raw meat. That was why zombies would lose their interests in the people who had taken the drug.
The zombies like Jingyan who was as smart as human beings would, of course, not ignore the people on the drug as normal zombies would.
Jingyan gave Yan Xiao a signal and the two of them split up, jumping into action. Jingyan intended to meet the person who so confidently believed that he was able to blend into their team. As for the captain, he was only at level-six. Yan Xiao was able to deal with him by herself. Jingyan sent Yan Xiao after the man, and she would later come back to see if the latter needed help.
Yan Xiao understandingly responded to her with another hand gesture and kept moving toward the captain. Meanwhile, Jingyan turned and quickly moved toward the person who had been approaching Chen Yuting and his people.
She followed the scent to its source and looked around first before leaping across the source of the scent and landing on a small building. Leaning against the guardrail on the roof, she fixed her eyes on one area and surprisingly saw nothing!
She couldn’t see colors but she saw everything clearly. She had her eyes fixed on exactly where the scent came from but couldn’t see the source of it!
No wonder Huaxia sent the person to carry the mission alone. It turned out to be someone with some special kind of power! The man hid his vibe and body perfectly, but he probably didn’t know that his scent was detected by Jingyan.
Jingyan hid in the darkness and carefully sensed the scent and its movements. She sensed the scent coming from an area meters in radius but couldn’t locate the source of it precisely. So, she wasn’t able to launch an accurate attack to kill the person.
She sensed another movement of the invisible person. Without doing anything else, she followed the person in the darkness, and as she expected, she saw him get into the trunk of one of the trucks without being noticed by Chen Yuting.
Those military trucks were now empty as the cargo had been unloaded in Sea City Base. Before, about ten soldiers stayed in each truck, but they had now all gotten off the vehicles and scattered around the trucks to prepare for the coming battle.
Jingyan gave that truck a glance and sneered in her head. Next, she suddenly showed up in front of Chen Yuting and whispered at his ear before he could react, “A rat got into the fourth truck.”
Chen Yuting immediately turned to her with surprise. However, neither did he nor Jingyan turn around to look at the fourth truck, as if they weren’t paying attention to it at all.
“How is that possible? Why didn’t I detect his presence? Does he have a special power? When did he get in?” Chen Yuting was stunned a little at first, and then he furrowed his brows as he asked some questions with a low voice.
“He does have a special power,” said Jingyan, “He got in a minute ago. Even I can’t see him, let alone you. I followed his scent all the way but I couldn’t find a trace of his. I guess he has the same kind of power as Captain Yun Meng.”
Chen Yuting nodded and said, “We can’t kill the rat in the truck. We have to make him come out and also make sure he doesn’t run away.”
After all, making the move in the truck might lead to the destruction of that truck.
“Throw a gas bomb in it,” Chen Yuting turned and said to Jingyan.
Jingyan quickly nodded and turned to fetch the gas bomb. The air was safe, so the man surely wouldn’t wear a gas mask or anything like that. He would react to the gas bomb as long as he was a human being.
The mantis man was squatting in the fourth truck, thinking that his mission was already accomplished by a big half. Currently, all he needed to do was to wait for the truck to drive into All Beings Base.
Why didn’t Huaxia Base send someone with invisibility like him to carry missions like that earlier? That was such an easy thing for him. He was best at such things! However, instead of sending him for the job, those idiots from Huaxia Base always told him to wait for the right moment and not do anything unnecessary, in case he got exposed.
He could find out any secret he wanted to know. He was the one who found out that the soil in Sea City Base could not grow food. If it weren’t for him, Huaxia Base people would still be fooled by the lie that Xiao Yunlong, Zou s.h.i.+hui, and Wu Chengyue made up.
Suddenly, a gas bomb was thrown into the truck, and a thick and pungent odor instantly spread in the truck. The mantis man gave a start and hurriedly covered his nose as he darted out. Once he got out, a large web descended from the sky and wrapped him up.
Thud! The invisible man in the web fell on the ground, revealing his existence very clearly.
Bang! Bang! Bang! The moment he landed, three gunshots were heard in a row. Three bullets. .h.i.t the center of the web.
“Eh… You…” Following a m.u.f.fled moan, a man showed up in the web. Lying there in shock, he gawked at Chen Yuting, who was putting his gun back into the holster. He wanted to ask a question, but before letting out another word, he collapsed to the ground.
He was dead.
