After Zhao Yao shouted, Matcha yelled in the Extradimensional Belly. “Lucifer? Where are you? It’s time to work!”
Matcha told Zhao Yao. “Zhao Yao, Lucifer is entertaining a guest. He does not have time to come out and work.”
Zhao Yao frowned. “Lives are at stake. What is entertaining a guest? Ask him to come out.”
Matcha asked hesitatingly. “Lucifer is with Minister X’s son, it’s not good to offend him.”
Zhao Yao was angered. “Matcha, can’t you see that so many people need to be saved by him? Even if it is Minister X himself, pull him out for me.”
After a while, four supercats carried Lucifer, who was tied up, and brought him to Zhao Yao.
“Let me go!” Lucifer shouted excitedly, “What do you want? I will not concede defeat!”
Zhao Yao drew his lips together and grabbed Lucifer. “Lucifer, come over and cure them. Lend your powers to them. Get it?”
He looked at Lucifer’s loyalty, it was 98. He could lend his powers.
To the soldier’s surprise, Zhao Yao walked to an injured soldier and poked at them in a distance.
Actually it was Lucifer that was invisible. Zhao Yao raised Lucifer and poked the injured soldiers, the soldier moaned and the injuries on him started to heal. Soon, he was completely fine and healthy.
After ultra rapid regeneration, the soldier stood up and looked at Zhao Yao in bewilderment. “Why do I feel so good when this guy touches me? What did he do? Is it his problem …… or mine.”
Zhao Yao smiled at him. “How is are you feeling? That’s good. Hahaha.” He thought to himself. ‘Each of them are worth 100*2 experience points. I have to take care of them properly.’
The young soldier stumbled backwards and felt his hair stand after Zhao Yao looked at him weirdly.
Captain saw Zhao Yao poke his soldiers in a distance and the soldiers recovered. Even the person who was thrown by the bear and had dozens of bones broken could stand up and looked at his body in surprise.
Although, Zhao Yao had activated Time Freeze and flew over, he was still late. Two soldiers had died from heavy injuries. They were sacrificed before the signal gun was fired.
Zhao Yao sighed and looked at the Captain. “You are their captain?”
“Yes, I am Thunder, the person in charge of this team.” Thunder looked at Zhao Yao who had no head and was in black cloak. “You…… are the Headless Horseman?”
“Yes, it’s me.” Zhao Yao said, “They sent me here as back-up. Tell me the situation here. What did you guys encounter? Where are the rest?”
Thunder heaved a sigh of relief. Although the person that came was not Oriental Beacon, the Headless Horseman was one of the famous apostles in the superpower realm. He was also the Cat King in the big districts like Jianghai. His capabilities were not to be underestimated.
Furthermore, before this, he had displayed his abilities to defend himself from the missile and the ability to cure his soldiers. All these made him feel trustworthy.
Thunder said, “We have to find a safe place and hide.” He looked at the sky and looked bothered. “It’s going to be nighttime soon.”
“What?” Zhao Yao frowned. He had no time to waste. Just now, he rushed over with his fastest speed and yet two soldiers were sacrificed. In the city, the soldiers were facing dangers every second, he had to hurry up.
Zhao Yao shook his head. “There is no need to find. The world’s safest place is beside me. Tell me what you know. They sent five teams over. Can you contact the other four teams now?”
Thunder looked at him in shock and although he felt that Zhao Yao was too arrogant. Since Zhao Yao insisted, he did not force it and brought everyone to the commissary by his side. When everyone was resting, Thunder told Zhao Yao. “There is a ghost in the city.”
“Ghost?” Zhao Yao asked, “Is it some kind of power?”
“I…… don’t know.” Thunder said with uncertainty. “At first, everything was normal and Team one was the first to find Fan Jian……”
Zhao Yao nod his head. Fan Jian was the traitor they were supposed to capture. He had stolen meteorite fragments and escaped to OX city.
Thunder continued, “According to Team one, after they found Fan Jian, they wanted to arrest him. But, when they were trying to arrest him, they were met with a ghost attack and suffered heavy losses.”
Zhao Yao frowned and was curious about what all this was about.
Thunder explained, “At first we thought Team one had encountered some special power. Then, the situation got weirder. There were lesser and lesser people in the city…… But, more and more ghosts. We had to split up and the situation got worse. All forms of communication were cut off and our powers were starting to wear off. In the end, we were trapped in this city.”
“All the communication is cut off?” Zhao Yao asked,”You mean that the telephone, internet……”
“They all don’t work. We have tried everything. It is like all the signal in OX city has been blocked.”
Zhao Yao asked curiously, “What is this ghost? Why have I not met one?”
“Ghosts…… They are like in the stories. All our attacks are useless against them.” Thunder sighed, “You have not met with one yet because they only come out at night.” He looked at the sunset and said, “And now…… It is about to be nighttime.”
Zhao Yao was very curious about the ghost and asked Thunder if he had any ways to contact the other four teams. Thunder said that he had fired the signal gun just now. If they saw the signal, they would gather there.
Zhao Yao sent Sphynx cat to watch the surroundings and get ready to help any soldier that came to them. After all, Sphynx cat had the strongest senses and could get to the soldiers faster. If they were met with trouble, Sphynx cat could also protect them.
The rest of them stayed in the commissary with Zhao Yao to await the other soldiers.
Although Zhao Yao could send them through the Dimension Portal, he needed their help to search for the other soldiers. Placing them in the Extradimensional Belly was also very troublesome as it would expose his other powers. If he asked Elizabeth to cover them with her illusion then it would affect the operations of Cat Wonderland.
“Forget it. They can stay beside me. With me, how can there be an accident? Besides, although they don’t know it, they have Lucifer’s powers. They can’t die even if they wanted to.” Zhao Yao looked outside. “Why haven’t the other reached us? They are so slow.”
Zhao Yao looked out at the streets and thought, “This…… is really dark.”
When all of them looked up at the streets, it was pitch black.
