CHAPTER 904: CHAPTER 993: MAYER’S ABILITY

"So, there must be something good inside this big round house."

It doesn’t matter if Jing Shu can use it, but if she hands it over to the country, she’d undoubtedly get a lot of rewards.

That fisherman got millions just for pulling a missile out of the sea, so if Jing Shu brings back a treasure from an enemy country, wouldn’t she receive an outrageous amount of Contribution Value as a reward?

Thinking about this, Jing Shu’s eyes lit up with excitement.

She was determined to get this thing!!

Guo Tou, hearing all this, grinned wider and said, "Sister Jing, that’s a good thing. How do we get it? This thing can’t be opened underground; even the burrowing insects can’t open it. If we use force, it might alert the Power Users above. If only we had a Key right now."

Key?

Jing Shu pondered; without a doubt, it must have at least three or four layers of encryption keys and access permissions, possibly even involving decryption engineering and other anti-theft devices.

Kidnapping important personnel to get the Key was not an option.

Using force probably wouldn’t open it either. So, what could they do?

Even though Jing Shu didn’t know what was inside, a thought told her she had to take it; it was incredibly valuable.

"I need to think. We still have a few hours. First, let the burrowing insect hollow out the surroundings—" Jing Shu’s words were cut short as she received a message from the insect near her underground garage.

Jing Shu quickly said, "Something’s happening over there; I must go back. Follow the plan, ask Wen Jun if you have questions, and make sure to protect Xiao Wei. I’ll figure out how to handle this big lump."

With that, she hastily said goodbye to Guo Tou and sped through the tunnels.

Inside this ’Military Base,’ she had set up various surveillance points, like a massive net that laid everything bare in Jing Shu’s mind.

Then Jing Shu drew a 3D route map, so she knew exactly how to quickly return to the tunnel leading to the underground garage.

In less than a minute, she squeezed out of the tunnel, returned to the underground garage, changed back into her heavy gown, blocked the underground entrance with some clutter, and the door burst open.

Mayer’s hawk-like eyes scanned the corner, finding Miss Zhou, with her disheveled hair, yet still looking as beautiful as a fairy, pitiful and captivating, and breathed a sigh of relief.

He had sensed something was wrong from the doorway. It took him three minutes to walk a short route that should have taken seconds, meeting the Snake Scorpion Woman’s venomous snake taunting him, and a bridge railing falling to block his way.

He thought this woman’s father had sent Power Users to save her.

Despite the heavy security around this villa, a Power User could still slip in.

The boss mainly focused on guarding the underground secret weapons. Everything else was too large and heavy; no one could steal so much under their watchful eyes.

Every day, during two exchanges, the inventory was recounted, reducing the chance of lost goods by 99%. Everything had been peaceful for years.

Even if a Power User broke in, who could take away so many weapons, ammunition, and secrets from the entire Military Base in one go?

Mayer smirked wickedly. He felt assured, slowly walking forward. Under the cover of night, certain actions became more feasible.

He had deliberately not brought translator Darline, nor told anyone, his mood lifting further as he saw the adorable girl huddled in the corner.

He wasn’t worried about what would happen if discovered.

In terms of status within this Military Base, the boss was undoubtedly number one, and Mayer was the second. His power and strength might not rank second, but in terms of usefulness, he absolutely was second, the base’s treasure. Even if he messed with this young lady, others wouldn’t say much.

Mayer told two guards to ignore any sounds coming from inside and then ’clanged’ the door shut.

"Sorry, dear Miss, I couldn’t find a swan, nor any feathers, but if you want feathers, there are plenty of those."

Mayer muttered on, but as a poor student, Jing Shu couldn’t understand a word. However, none of that mattered; she could tell from his expression enough of what he meant.

"Ah, dealing with this blond sparrow is such a hassle," Jing Shu mused.

Should she beat him into submission or just kill him?

As Jing Shu pondered, Mayer was already approaching.

Then Mayer saw the fairy-like woman before him flash a smile.

Yes, just a pure smile.

At that moment, he thought, ah, what indescribable beauty; he could fall in love with such a smile.

But a minute later, he realized that smile was the Devil’s smile!!

"Ahwoooo!"

A bite.

The beauty’s smile vanished, replaced by a monstrous, muddy creature that opened its massive mouth and swallowed him whole, the stench making Mayer almost vomit.

In the blink of an eye, his body was covered in various slimy substances.

"Argh~" Mayer raged and realized Miss Zhou might be a Power User.

The next moment, Mayer’s body bristled, sprouting countless black hairs.

Yes, he was also among the New Humans.

Once, he was a high-class collector of the White Race, a spoiled rich second generation, but everything changed after the apocalypse.

His body began growing more and more bizarre black hair, spreading all over.

The exaggerated appearance turned him into his family’s monster, a disgrace the family abandoned. When he was about to die, the organization saved him, granting him a new ability.

His ability was electricity.

In simple terms, he became an Electric Man, capable of emitting high-voltage electricity, but it had to conduct through the long hair covering his body, limiting his attack range to 0.5 meters.

Of course, it could conduct through wires, electric grids, water, etc., but not as glamourous as movies or anime where a zap would instantly kill someone.

In battle, he couldn’t even beat the Snake Scorpion Woman; her command could have a pack of snakes attacking him, unable to touch her.

Nor could he defeat the melee Iron Hammer Dwarf; the explosive force and speed of the swings would crush him before he could generate electricity.
