Chapter 735: Arrival and Search
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In OX city, a few Asians were constantly jumping on the roofs of the city. All of them showed extraordinary physical qualities.
After proceeding a certain distance, they would stop, look for trails and converse in their own dialect.
“Where did that guy go?”
“There is a blood trail here.”
“He can’t run far with such heavy injuries.”
They were from the neighboring Southeast Asian countries. It was their first time in OX city. They were here for the meteorite fragments.
The person leading the team was a young person whose hand was filled with bandages and face had several scars. He stopped and searched as he muttered. “Meteorite Fragments can enhance powers. Ever since the European incident, all the big countries have been developing their superpowers. However, our country doesn’t even have one meteorite fragment. This is our best chance.”
Another youth looked at the scarred face man with admiration. He was the apostle who had the highest compatibility with supercats in their country. Before he had powers, he already was a great warrior in the army. After obtaining powers, he had become like a superhero.
The youth looked at him and said, “Leader Bason, we found trails of blood!”
Bason came to the blood trials, he squat down to dab it and sniffed it. His eyes lit up. “He is near by. Get ready to fight.”
After Bason and his men searched, they found their target. It was a dark skinned and skinny apostle. When he saw Bason and his men, he started to scold them. Apparently he was a Southeast Asian apostle too.
Bason and his men surrounded him and probed him. They realized that he no longer had his powers. 24 hours were over and the powers that he had borrowed were no longer valid.
Bason waved his hand to call his men with weapons to back off. He clenched his fist, stretched his neck and walked up slowly. “You are an apostle from this city right? Your powers are gone. Tell me what you know about the meteorite fragment and what happened to this city. Then, I can let you off.”
Bason wanted him alive to ask for information. That’s why he asked his men to back off.
The skinny and black apostle heard Bason and laughed coldly. He lifted his pistol and fired at Bason.
However, the bullet hit Bason with a loud clash and scratched past him like on a metal board.
It was the power that Bason had borrowed. Steel body: it enhanced the muscles and bones to give a strong defense and physical abilities.
Bason patted the place that was hit by the bullet as he smiled menacingly. He charged up and attacked the apostle with both his fists that brought about the sound of thunder and wind.
Straight punch, side kick, swing punch, knee, and uppercut. After a series of attacks, Bason looked at the apostle that was lying on the floor like a rag doll. He went up and broke the apostle’s calf.
Bason smiled menacingly and said calmly. “It’s okay if you don’t say.” He waved his hands and asked his men to come forward. “Make him spit out all the information that he knows.”
Soon, Bason had some basic information about the city.
Bason frowned and said, “If we want to get hold of the meteorite fragment, we have to find the Chinese men. They have more Intel.”
When they heard Chinese, all the other youths frowned. They did not want to go against a big country.
Bason looked at his men and laughed, “Don’t be so nervous. Although our country is incomparable to the big countries as apostles we can beat them. Like how our boxers can beat their boxers easily. It’s about individual capabilities. It has nothing to do with the country.”
Bason smiled and continued, “Furthermore, they have entered the city for long enough for most of the apostles to have lost their powers.”
One of the men asked Bason, “Will the Chinese take revenge on us?”
Bason laughed, “There are apostles from several countries in this city after them. How can they take revenge?”
Bason was right. According to the Intel from the last hours, after the Chinese apostles entered OX city, they were met with a supernatural occurrence while they were searching for the meteorite fragment. The Chinese apostles and the local apostles had suffered heavy losses.
After that, because they had stayed in the city for too long and lost their powers, all the other apostles from other countries had better capabilities and could pursuit them easily to demand Intel.
Then, they heard a loud bang in the air.
All of them looked up to see a trail across the sky.
“What was that?”
In the sky, Zhao Yao was wearing the Cheese Cloak and holding onto the Rice Cake Blade. He activated his Deflective Field and hugged Roly Poly to stay invisible. He looked at the approaching missiles and smiled.
Then, he removed a portion of his invisibility and his body could be seen floating in the air. He waved his hand and changed to Dust Ball’s power and shouted, “Cats!”
That instant, except the Dimension Portal on the Cat Island, all the remaining four Dimension Portal opened behind Zhao Yao and pointed in the direction of the missile.
Close to 200 supercats were in the four Dimension Portals, releasing their powers.
Ice, Flames, Lightning, Hurricane, Acid, Toxins and Force Fields were the most common powers. There was a variety of decelerations, curses, rebounds, offsets, cat litter and bricks that flew out. There were some powers that even Zhao Yao was unfamiliar with and some that were useless against the missiles.
Even Milk Tea and Matcha picked up a bunch of cat litter and threw it.
Sphynx cat’s eyes narrowed and his claws slashed. A steel column flew out like a bolt of lightning. The air was blasted and a sound barrier was formed.
Although the strength of the powers were uneven, the quantity was huge.
Close to 200 supercats activated their powers at the same time, the air formed tsunami like waves and engulfed the missiles that weren’t even near. The missiles turned into a few fireballs and exploded in the air.
Originally, Zhao Yao could already command most of the cats in the Extradimensional Belly. After the opening of Cat Wonderland, all the cats had an income and with such incentives, all the cats were extra obedient.
Hence, Zhao Yao could easily gather the cats and smash the missiles that could easily crush any other apostle.
After dealing with the missile, Zhao Yao looked at the restless troops in the distance and clenched his fist. He felt invincible.
“Are there no opponents?”
“I don’t even have a decent opponent. My life is so lonely.”
After the Europe incident, Zhao Yao realized that he was invincible. Every night, he could not help but ask himself:
“Zhao Yao, are you the strongest in the world now?”
“Aye, I can’t be so boastful. I may just be the strongest man in the world.”
“No.” Zhao Yao shook his head in the air. “Zhao Yao, you can’t become too proud. How many people were defeated because they thought themselves invincible? I cannot repeat their mistake.”
“I need to keep a low profile but do high profile things.”
Zhao Yao decided to be low profile and left the restless troops alone. He randomly chose a direction and landed in OX city.
Many apostles in OX city saw the scene in the sky and were stricken with fear.
Bason’s face fell and cold sweat rolled down his head. He felt that his abilities were insignificant compared to the apostle in the air.
He thought to himself, “Who is that guy? There are such apostles in the world? Compared to the Golden Dragon apostle in Europe incident, I wonder who is stronger?”
Bason shook his head and said, “Let’s change a direction and avoid that person.”
Meanwhile, the blond haired Edward looked calm on the surface but he was panicking inside. “What terrifying powers. We cannot stay in this city any longer. We have to leave.” All the other apostles around him nodded vigorously.
As Zhao Yao landed, all the apostles in that direction fled in all directions. All of them were unwilling to meet the mysterious but strong apostle.
Zhao Yao did not care so much and landed on a rooftop. He looked down at the OX city and couldn’t see anyone. He thought to himself. “Why is there no one in the city? Have they evacuated?”
Because Uncle Ho had lost contact with the apostles, Zhao Yao did not know what supernatural incident had occurred in OX city. He needed to find an apostle from his country to find out.
“How am I going to find them?” Zhao Yao rubbed his chin. Looking for them one by one on the streets would be the least efficient solution. “It is best if they can come look for me. However, Uncle Ho asked me to not expose my identity. It would be bad to cause international conflict.”
Zhao Yao looked at the mission he had received from Uncle Ho.
Mission: Rescue
Mission Objective: Rescue the trapped official apostles from OX city
Rewards: Every apostles rescued, 100 experience points would be awarded. If identity is exposed, mission failed.
Mission Penalty: Cuddle for three hours
For this mission, the more people he rescued the better. If Zhao Yao intended to search for them one by one, it would be too slow. Furthermore, it was rare for the Book to have a Mission Penalty. Although the penalty was unclear but Zhao Yao did not want to experience it.
“Then, I have to think of a way to gather all the Chinese apostles without exposing my identity.”
Zhao Yao opened the Dimension Portal and shouted, “Fish Ball? Ask him to come out.”
Matcha spoke in the headset. “Where is Cat No.19? Ask him to come over, Boss is looking for him... what? He is with a guest?” Matcha looked at Zhao Yao. “Boss, Cat No.19 is with a guest. He can’t come at the moment.”
“Chey.” This was the disadvantage of opening the Cat Wonderland. If the cats were working, it was not good to ask him to come over.
Matcha spoke in the headset. “Boss, do we call him over? But he is with a regular customer, it is not too good to call him over.”
Zhao Yao shook his head and said, “Forget it, ask him to work peacefully. In Cat Wonderland, we should not cheat the customers.”
“At first I wanted to ask Fish Ball to make a glowing symbol and attract all the official apostles over.” Zhao Yao rubbed his chin and thought, “I have to think of another way.”
