Chapter 91: Support From the Provincial City

"The crystal cores?"

"The truck full of crystal cores?"

"Taken away?"

"Spilled?"

...

Faced with the commanders from seven shelters, the truck driver looked utterly bewildered.

"I... I really don’t know!"

"I just kept driving, the whole time!"

"After leaving the city, there were wrecked cars blocking the road!"

"But after I forced my way through, it wasn’t long before I saw that big yellow bull stopped chasing!"

"So, I turned back!"

"After getting off the truck, I saw that there was nothing on it!"

...

...

"Was it you?"

Swish!

Bai Meng drew his sword, pressing it against Zhang Lei’s neck.

"Are you a rabid dog, biting anyone you see?"

Zhang Lei angrily retorted, "This was your rotten idea. I knew something was wrong, but you guys refused to believe it. Now that one million energy worth of crystal cores is stolen, are you happy?"

Bai Meng glared angrily at everyone.

Everyone hung their heads low.

But soon, all eyes turned to Zhang Lei.

At this moment, someone needed to take the blame.

And that person was Zhang Lei.

"Speak! Did you send someone to steal them?"

Faced with everyone’s interrogation, Zhang Lei suddenly laughed.

"Me, steal them? Why don’t you guys use your heads? An entire truck of crystal cores, how could I steal it? Especially in such a short time!"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

"So, there’s only one possibility. Is this truck driver your man? Did he hide the cores somewhere?" Bai Meng abruptly turned, eyeing the truck driver.

The truck driver immediately fell to his knees in fright.

"Commander, I’m from Shelter No. 9, I’m not their man!"

"You’re an idiot!"

At this moment, Zhang Lei sneered.

"Where’s your brain? Use some logic, will you? The big yellow bull was closing in step by step. How could he have the time to stop the truck and stash the cores somewhere else? Even if he did hide them elsewhere, they would’ve been eaten by the bull! "

Zhang Lei’s words made everyone suddenly realize.

"Yeah! The mutated beast was closing in, if he had stopped, in three minutes, it would’ve caught up, and he might’ve been crushed to pulp!"

"Could it be that all the crystal cores were eaten by the big yellow bull?"

"There’s that possibility. It’s possible it ate them and then returned!"

"Did you not feel anything when the mutated beast was eating?"

Bai Meng stared intensely at the truck driver.

The next moment, in a swift motion, the driver’s head fell to the ground.

The loss of one million energy worth of cores didn’t strike everyone too heavily. After all, these crystals were all gathered collectively. Each shelter only suffered a loss of just over a hundred thousand, which was a minor setback for them.

However, if these cores belonged to a single shelter, it would have been a major blow.

But what worried them the most was the massive yellow bull.

Now that the bull had returned, although not directly in front of the air defense bunker, any further attacks would surely attract the bull due to the noise and commotion.

Time passed by, seconds ticking away, and just when everyone seemed helpless, support from the Qingyun main base finally arrived.

"Retreat!"

Helpless, the seven shelters had no choice but to evacuate from Jiuyang County. The battle, enforced by the arrival of support from the Qingyun main base, was declared a failure.

Despite inflicting heavy damage on Shelter No. 1, it left a lingering threat to all shelters.

A counterattack from Shelter No. 1 was inevitable.

The only uncertainty was whether the Qingyun base’s support would assist Shelter No. 1. If it did, it spelled doom for the other shelters.

"So what if it’s the Qingyun main base? Can they handle a sixth-tier mutated beast?" Bai Meng was utterly discontent.

Before leaving, they used a plethora of heavy weapons, thoroughly provoking the sixth-tier mutated beast, the Yellow Bull.

In a frenzy, the Yellow Bull attacked anything living it saw in Jiuyang County.

Three supporting helicopters were destroyed almost instantly upon arrival.

But in the next moment, everyone from the shelters was left in utter shock.

From one of the helicopters slowly flew out a person.

Standing between heaven and earth, this individual wielded a Qingyue sword. With a single strike, they beheaded the sixth-tier mutated beast directly.

The blood from the Yellow Bull gushed out like a torrent.

"Go back first!" Xiao Feng instructed Peng Donglai and then quietly flew over, beginning to collect the blood.

Xiao Feng’s appearance immediately caught the attention of the individual in mid-air.

Below, after gathering enough blood, Xiao Feng looked up at the massive bull head.

"I wonder if this big bull head can fit into the system space!"

With that thought, Xiao Feng immediately reached out to touch the bull’s head.

The colossal head vanished into thin air the next moment.

This left the man in mid-air momentarily stunned.

Looking up, Xiao Feng smirked with a touch of malevolence.

Four eyes met, and Xiao Feng noticed the man had refined short hair, dressed in a black combat suit. Upon closer inspection, the sword in his hand didn’t seem to be the so-called Qingyue Sword but instead a pure black alloy combat sword.

Different from a regular longsword, this black combat sword was long and wide, adorned with intricate and mysterious engravings—obviously not an ordinary weapon.

Suddenly, the man charged at Xiao Feng.

The longsword in his hand thrust toward Xiao Feng.

Though the man hadn’t reached him yet, the energy from the sword was already attacking.

Xiao Feng silently observed.

Closer, closer...

Finally, the man reached a distance where Xiao Feng could examine him.

The next moment, the man’s information appeared in Xiao Feng’s mind.

After collecting the man’s information, Xiao Feng immediately used a instant return and returned to the resturant.

The sword energy landed, leaving deep marks.

Once the man landed, his expression changed. He exclaimed in astonishment, "An Evolver of the Spatial Class?"

After an extensive search and failing to find Xiao Feng, the man gave up.

"No wonder he dared to attack; turns out he’s a rare Evolver of the Spatial Class!"

Surprisingly, the man mistook Xiao Feng for someone from another shelter.

Meanwhile, back at the resturant, Xiao Feng’s heart continued to race uncontrollably.

"D*mn, that guy was terrifying!"

Xiao Feng could confirm that the man was at least a seventh-tier Evolver.

However, upon inspecting the information he had collected, Xiao Feng felt relieved.

"Indeed, he’s a seventh-tier Evolver!"

As Xiao Feng suspected, the man was indeed a seventh-tier Evolver.

"It seems the Evolvers from the provincial city are something else!"
