Both were aware that Zhao Qiankun wasn’t easy to deal with; to avoid being recognized, they didn’t dare stare directly at Zhao Qiankun. Their gazes glided accidentally across him, then quickly retracted. At this moment, Zhao Qiankun’s expression was extremely ugly, causing many Corpse Hunters to gaze at him with unsettled suspicion. This, in turn, made it even harder for Zhao Qiankun to locate Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang.
He realized that like him, the two could use Invisibility, obviously not average individuals; they couldn’t easily be found, and he was simply clinging to the slim hope in his heart.
As he searched, Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang also keenly surveyed the surrounding Corpse Hunters, trying to pinpoint the potential "Evil Demon" among them. Unfortunately, after observing for a while, they couldn’t find any trace of the "Evil Demon," nor did they detect the distinctive aura of evil related to it.
Clearly, the "Evil Demon" was cunning and had no intention of falling into a trap.
After waiting for nearly half an hour, the scattered Corpse Hunters from Luyun County gradually returned. But a sense of dread sank into everyone’s hearts as they counted their numbers. This time, almost fifty thousand had come, no small force, and the weakest among the Corpse Hunters were Superpower Level 1, with others ranking Superpower Level 2, Superpower Level 3 and even a few Level 4 Experts.
Yet now, over a thousand Corpse Hunters were missing! This group included several Level 4 Superpower Users along with quite a number of Level 3 Superpower Users! These were all experts from the Beishi Base, now missing without a trace or any idea if they were alive or dead. Could they not worry?
What kind of danger was lurking in this little Luyun County? Could it be hiding Advanced zombies?
With that possibility in mind, many Corpse Hunters became even more restless, no longer daring to hope for the benefits after conquering Luyun County, instead becoming eager to leave this dangerous place.
Among those dead were mostly people from the White Wolf Mercenary Corps, along with others from the Qiankun Mercenary Group and various other factions. Although Zhao Qiankun was happy to see the misfortune of the White Wolf Mercenary Corps, the losses suffered by the Qiankun Mercenary Group and the thought of a hidden enemy scheming against him dampened his spirits.
So, with a grim face, he feigned calm and ordered through a loudspeaker, and after waiting in vain for a response, he ordered the retreat from Luyun County. Many Corpse Hunters realized that Bai Yi from the White Wolf Mercenary Corps was among those missing. But with the potential threat of Advanced zombies, even with the knowledge that Bai Yi hadn’t returned, who would dare stay longer in Luyun County? Once Zhao Qiankun gave the order, they obediently drove out of Luyun County.
After the convoy had left the area, a figure climbed up to the rooftop of a five-story building, watching the departing vehicles with a bloodthirsty smirk curling his lips.
As he appeared, sitting in the truck, Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang suddenly felt something amiss and simultaneously turned their heads to look in the direction of Luyun County, stealthily releasing their Spiritual Sense to probe. It wasn’t just them; even Zhao Qiankun, brooding with an unpleasant expression, sensed something was off and sharply turned to glare in the direction of Luyun County.
Regretfully, despite having a Dimension Trading Device, Zhao Qiankun could only connect to a few planes, and none that could reach the Cultivation Plane. His possessions were mostly expensive items from the Technology Plane, exchanged mostly for enhancing his own body. He had used many Crystal Cores to exchange for Genetic Evolution Potion. Now, his body was on par with a Level 4 Enhancer, but his spiritual power hadn’t seen much improvement, preventing him from extending his spiritual powers as Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang did.
Thus, after glaring for a while, he turned back, pondering in his mind that once they reached the Beishi Base, he must find a way to strengthen the Base’s defenses! Just moments ago, he had distinctly felt a strong "malice" emanating from the direction of Luyun County! This "malice" surely wasn’t human, but whatever it was, it posed a serious threat!
