Chapter 873: The Herders ( 6 )
Li Sikai sneaked into the area where the generators were located.
He checked the wires for a while before he cut off the electricity supply. The next moment, the entire area lost power, and the surveillance cameras were turned off.
When he was done, he climbed into the ventilation pipe and moved to the control room.
Due to the sudden loss of power, the guards went out to check the situation, leaving only two guards in the room. From the ventilation pipe, he flicked his fingers, and two small lightning bolts flew toward the guards.
The moment the lightning bolts hit the guards, they were zapped and lost consciousness. As they fell, Li Sikai leaped and landed lightly.
He pulled out his dagger and, with one smooth motion, ended their lives. For people who have abandoned their humanity, there is no need to let them live and continue harming others.
Then, he checked the surveillance records. Afterward, he took out his notebook and drew a simple map. He noted down the areas where the survivors were locked.
When he was done, he left the control room and went to the 1st dormitory. The building was similar to the one they saw in Lin’an’s factory areas. It was a 30-story building.
Before he entered the building, he noticed something flashing from one of the rooms. Narrowing his eyes, he saw an indigo lightning flash for a second.
Besides him, only Cheng Rui had lightning ability in their small team. He rushed over and, with a leap, reached the 6th floor. Holding onto the windowsill, his arm muscles tensed. With a pull, he leaped to the 10th floor.
When he reached the window, he used his lightning to melt the steel bars and climbed into the room.
Inside the room, ten people huddled together in the corner while Cheng Rui was sitting on the chair at the center of the room.
Noticing his bad mood, Li Sikai patted his shoulder and asked, "What’s wrong?"
Turning to him, Cheng Rui replied, "Brother Sikai, I think there is no need for us to save them."
Hearing this, Li Sikai said nothing and waited. After a moment of pause, Cheng Rui continued, "They said that they are willing to stay here and are accusing us as the bad guys. Can you believe it?"
He stared at the group and said, "You are raised as the mutant beasts’ food, and you are still thinking you are having a good life?"
After he said this, he flicked his hand, and the metal bars melted before they turned into several daggers. With another flick of his hand, the daggers fell not far from the survivors with loud clangs.
Standing up, he said, "If you want to stay here and become food for those mutant beasts, that’s up to you." Turning to Li Sikai, he said, "Brother Sikai, let’s go."
Li Sikai glanced at the group and left with Cheng Rui.
These people had been brainwashed for so long that they developed a herd mentality. Since they couldn’t free the lambs, they needed to take down the herders.
Using their walkie-talkies to communicate, the members met at the parking lot. When they arrived, Pei Yixie had been waiting for them.
Seeing them coming, she walked over and said, "Brother Sikai, I found an underground cellar."
Hearing this, Li Sikai nodded, and with Cheng Rui’s ability, they opened the metal door. This time, they didn’t use a flashlight and climbed down the ladder.
It took them a moment to get used to the darkness. Unlike the underground train station, this time the members felt a heavy pressure the moment they entered the underground cellar.
Li Sikai pulled out his dagger and walked in front. The members also took out their weapons and observed the surroundings as they followed him.
They walked for a long time before they heard a faint sound coming from the end of the tunnel. Li Sikai made a hand gesture, and Jian Ziqin used his shadow clone to scout the situation.
A few minutes later, the shadow clone returned, and he whispered, "Brother Sikai, there are a total of 28 mutants in that room. There are no commoners in sight."
Li Sikai nodded and said, "Let’s go."
The members nodded and continued walking. When they were several meters away from the room, Fu Guai raised his hand, and the next moment, several thin ice needles floated in front of him.
Seeing this, Li Sikai flicked his fingers, and small lightning bolts emerged from his fingertips, merging with the ice needles.
Cheng Rui’s eyes flashed with surprise when he saw this. He heard the rumor about the Phantom Team, and lots of people were trying to imitate their fighting style. But so far, only a few have been able to do it.
Although it looked simple, combining two abilities from two people was not an easy feat. Even when he merged his metal and lightning abilities, he still found it difficult. He could only use the abilities at different times.
But they were able to merge the abilities perfectly. He didn’t know what made them different from the rest of the mutants, but he was determined to learn this method.
Not knowing what he was thinking, Fu Guai narrowed his eyes and, with a flick of his wrist, the ice needles flew toward the mutants at a fast speed.
Stab! Stab! Stab!
As soon as the ice needles pierced their napes, Li Sikai clenched his fists, and lightning burst from the ice needles, killing the mutants in less than a second.
The members walked over and saw that the mutants had died. They were roasted from the inside out, and smoke emitted from their orifices and skin.
"Hide them," Li Sikai said.
The members nodded and dragged the roasted bodies to the dark corner. After they piled them up, Pei Yixie took the dirty old cloth from the ground and covered their bodies.
Before leaving, she muttered, "In your next life, try to learn how to be a human."
