Chapter 679 The Spy in the Dark
"Sister-in-law?" Zhang Weitao noticed Bai Mianmian's unusual behavior and asked in confusion, his gaze immediately following hers.
But all that could be seen there were ordinary sights, nothing unusual at all.
Unconvinced that there was nothing amiss, Zhang Weitao examined the area again and again, even scanning it with his terminal, but still found nothing unusual.
Zhang Weitao frowned deeply.
Those who hadn't noticed Bai Mianmian's movements turned to look at Zhang Weitao when they heard his voice, then followed his gaze, only to find an ordinary scene with nothing to be alarmed about.
"It's nothing." Bai Mianmian felt the scrutinizing and slightly malicious gaze disappear, so she withdrew her gaze and said calmly.
It seems that person won't make a move at this time.
Bai Mianmian was thinking this, but no one saw that at this moment, her fingers moved slightly, and the number of mushroom spores surrounding her instantly doubled.
Seeing that she turned her back and didn't look in that direction again, Zhang Weitao didn't pursue the matter any further.
However, he immediately mentioned it in the Second Legion's large group chat.
There were still many teams stationed at the Second Legion's base that hadn't gone out. Upon seeing this message, someone immediately replied that they would go and take a look.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Weitao felt somewhat relieved.
They just wanted to follow their sister-in-law to find fresh and delicious food, and didn't want to be ambushed on the way.
Jiang Ci's office.
Looking at the information on the terminal, Jiang Ci frowned slightly.
Mianmian noticed something was wrong, but didn't say anything, while the others didn't notice anything amiss.
Is someone secretly observing Mianmian?
The terminal didn't detect anything. Could it be a superhuman with the ability to become invisible?
"Boss?" Liang Yu, who was video chatting with Jiang Ci, called out when he saw that Jiang Ci was distracted.
"Okay, you can continue." Jiang Ci immediately snapped back to reality and said, but he had already sent a message to Zhang Weitao in the group chat, telling him to be careful.
"Yes." Liang Yu didn't ask any more questions and continued to report with his eyes down. "That person is doing well so far, but it seems that his new temporary residence has been exposed. There have been a lot of strangers loitering around the area these past few days. I reckon we'll have to move again in the next couple of days."
Jiang Ci's brows furrowed even more, and his eyes darkened.
The "person" Liang Yu was referring to was Zhong Jingfeng, the governor of star number 1888 whom he had previously brought to star D7.
When the Second Legion's base was attacked by the Moth Insect Clan, Liang Yu and his group's stronghold was also attacked by a group of strangers, and Zhong Jingfeng was almost killed on the spot.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ci's eyes suddenly sharpened like knives, and his voice turned cold and hard: "We can't wait any longer. We must move them out before dark."
Liang Yu, who had originally wanted to add more details, suddenly became serious, immediately fell silent, and nodded solemnly: "Yes! I'll arrange it right away!"
Before the video was even turned off, Liang Yu turned around and arranged for people to prepare for the transfer. Only after he had made the arrangements did he turn back to report other matters to Jiang Ci.
While listening to Liang Yu's report, Jiang Ci kept an eye on whether any more information about Bai Mianmian would appear in the group chat.
After Liang Yu finished his report, he calmly said, "That's all for now. Be vigilant. If you really can't protect him, don't force it. Take care of your own lives first."
"Yes, boss, we understand," Liang Yu said solemnly.
"Okay." Jiang Ci nodded slightly and ended the video call. "Jun Tao, postpone the rest of today's business. I'm going out for a bit." As he spoke, Jiang Ci left his seat and walked towards the door.
Zhuo Juntao knew without asking what his boss was going to do. He smiled and said, "Okay, boss, don't worry."
By the time he finished speaking, Jiang Ci had already left the office, showing that he was really in a hurry.
……
Bai Mianmian was not disturbed by the fleeting feeling of being spied on.
She led Zhang Weitao and the others straight towards the forest, and soon they plunged into the forest. Then they chose a secluded spot to continue deeper into the forest.
Upon entering the forest, Zhang Weitao and his group immediately became extremely vigilant. Any gazes that fell upon them with ill intent were met with fierce glares.
After an unknown amount of time, Bai Mianmian, who was being protected within their protective circle, suddenly cast a sharp glance at a certain spot.
Although many eyes were fixed on her, she recognized the gaze that had been watching her before she entered the forest immediately.
They even followed us!
The malice in their gazes was even greater than before!
Bai Mianmian's slender fingers twitched slightly, and a batch of mushroom spores that had been floating around her instantly shot out towards the direction she was looking.
Some of Zhang Weitao's group noticed the change in Bai Mianmian's eyes and immediately looked over with wary eyes, but they didn't find anything unusual.
Before they could even wonder what was happening, several red-capped, white-spotted mushrooms suddenly sprouted from the air. Then, right before their eyes, all the mushrooms exploded with a deafening roar: "Boom!"
The violent explosion swept across the surroundings in an instant, and just as the broken branches and leaves flew everywhere, a stream of bright red blood sprayed into the air. Then, a figure that was barely visible suddenly appeared and flew backward at an extremely fast speed.
And flying backwards in the same direction as him was an energy cannon that had just been separated from his hand.
People who looked over because of the explosion immediately retreated a considerable distance upon seeing the suddenly appearing figure, staring at it warily.
If we're talking about the types of superpowers people hate the most, invisibility is one of them.
After all, no one wants to be killed without knowing it, and to die without ever knowing who the killer is.
Upon catching a glimpse of the figure, Zhang Weitao and his group immediately separated a group of people from Bai Mianmian, while several others approached the figure.
The aftershocks of the explosion had barely subsided when the figure that had been blasted away crashed violently into a tree trunk as thick as a bowl, "Bang! Crack!"
The tree trunk snapped with a crack, and people in the direction of the falling tree instantly dodged to the side.
By the time the crisis of the broken tree falling on someone had passed, the figure that had broken the tree trunk had already disappeared without a trace.
Zhang Weitao and the others watched helplessly as the man disappeared before their eyes. Their expressions tightened, and their eyes darted around as they vigilantly scanned their surroundings, trying to catch even the slightest clue.
The onlookers cautiously looked around, but many more simply turned and left.
Sometimes watching a play can be deadly. If you stay here, who knows who might kill you next?
They hadn't forgotten that the explosion had come very suddenly.
An explosion that could happen at any moment, an invisible superhuman—they knew they couldn't withstand such an attack, so it was best to escape first.
Among the tense crowd, Bai Mianmian remained calm and composed, and she simply waved her finger slightly.
In an otherwise empty place, several mushrooms suddenly appeared.
The superhuman, who was invisible, stared wide-eyed in horror at the mushrooms growing on his body.
