“This! Where did these infected appear from so suddenly!?” Song Helu was almost scared to death.
As an ordinary person, it was her first time witnessing such a blood-curdling scene. When she saw the infected rushing toward them, Song Helu took a few steps back instinctively. She felt horrified just with the idea of the infected tearing apart the tour bus’ exterior. However, upon noticing that Jiang Zhuying and her teammates were calm, while Li Yuxin even approached the vehicle’s door, Song Helu calmed down too. She started to believe that the tour bus could protect them.
“The psychic paranormal is controlling all of them. We must have been under his radar ever since we stepped our foot in Jinling,” said Ran Xiyu with a trembling voice. She had failed to detect the psychic paranormal’s presence, and only after Xu Li’s peculiar words did she find out what was happening. Ran Xiyu felt horrified when he released his powerful mental energy.
“His mental energy makes me nervous. It’s icy. The moment my spiritual sense came in contact with his, I felt like I was touching a piece of ice…I felt that my mental energy could be devoured by it,” explained Ran Xiyu.
Since Xu Li was already under that psychic paranormal’s control, it was easy to figure out what was going on. Meanwhile, the plague’s origin became evident – the infected were all products of Shen Hai.
Xiang Xuehai was a smart girl, so she quickly connected the dots.
“The ‘plague’ is man-made,” said Xiang Xuehai, sighing.
Actually, when Jiang Liushi had seen the blue liquid, he had made such a conjecture. It was likely that Shen Hai was responsible for those strange things.
“I can feel that Xu Li is more powerful than all the infected we’ve faced until now. Amongst that group, he is also the most powerful,” said Li Yuxin.
Then, she got close to the window and put her hands on it. The infected were pressing their heads against it, attempting to break it.
“That liquid may have a concentration difference. The stronger paranormals could probably bear more and stronger liquid. If my speculation is right, they should have been collecting mutant nuclei to improve the infected people’s strength,” added Li Yuxin.
That was the hypothesis she had drawn from observing the infected. If she could examine the liquid inside Xu Li’s body, she would get to the truth immediately.
Ling frowned and asked, “But did the psychic paranormal find us and scheme against us?”
Jiang Liushi answered in a low voice, “It’s quite simple. He used the infected to monitor us. I guess that he wants to infect and control us too…all the paranormals will gradually become his tools.”
Truth be told, to reach their current level, the infected had consumed many mutant nuclei. On the other hand, Jiang Liushi’s team consisted of already powerful paranormals. That was one of the reasons the psychic paranormal had chosen to monitor them.
“Good! Since you want to play, I will humor you,” said Jiang Liushi angrily. If not for Luoluo, Jiang Liushi may have fallen under the psychic paranormal’s control.
Suddenly, Xu Li raised his hands, aiming at Jiang Liushi’s tour bus.
Upon seeing that, Jiang Liushi felt that the situation was more complicated than he had speculated earlier. ‘Can the infected also retain and use their special abilities?’
Fortunately, Jiang Zhuying reacted promptly, placing her hands on the tour bus’ wall. Suddenly, a strong current started to float around the whole vehicle, and Xu Li, as well as the other infected, were flung backward. As long as Jiang Zhuying was present, Xu Li did not stand a chance.
Apparently, the psychic paranormal had not lost his connection with the infected after that attack. Although they had been knocked to the ground, they still struggled to get up and attack.
“Ying!” shouted Jiang Liushi, and Ying stepped on the gas. The tour bus reached breakneck speed, obliterating and sending flying the infected in its path. Most of them died on the spot, while others were severely injured. Although they were stronger than mutant zombies, they were still like fragile toys before the MCV.
“Brother Jiang, I can vaguely feel his position,” blurted Ran Xiyu. She had sensed a faint fluctuation when the psychic paranormal’s infected died.
“Great! Let’s go now. Ying!” ordered Jiang Liushi.
Ying turned around quickly and followed Ran Xiyu’s directions. Meanwhile, Jiang Liushi’s tour bus, steadily and accurately, shook off the last few infected people. Then, it rushed to their destination – a large area filled with mountain villas.
Soon, they arrived at a resort, which looked quiet and safe. No other buildings could be seen near it, but they could not find any trace of the psychic paranormal. After searching around, they drove to the parking lot inside the resort, which was flanked by many old traditional buildings. The atmosphere inside was eerily strange and oppressive.
“Maybe, he is hiding right here,” said Jiang Liushi.
When Jiang Liushi was about to do something to attract that guy out, a group of people rushed out from those buildings suddenly. All of them emitted strong energy fluctuations!
