Chapter 621: Trapped
"This is very likely a trap."
Reed put down the empty can he had finished eating. The spoon collided with the metal can, making a clanging sound. "It's possible that this is a trap set by the Serpent Society, with the purpose of luring some kind people over and then catching them all in one go."
"Indeed, that's possible." Ben nodded heavily. "I also thought of this possibility, but I still decided to take a look. After all, the two possibilities are fifty-fifty. Before seeing the truth, no one can say for sure."
"What do you say, Reed?" Johnny stood up, putting his hand on Ben's shoulder, who was sitting on the ground. "I think Ben's worry makes sense. I have to take a look, otherwise I won't be able to sleep in the future."
Susan didn't interrupt. She knew that the three men present were all stubborn and were the type who would definitely go all the way once they set their minds on something. At this time, anything she said would be useless. It would be better to observe the atmosphere from the side and ease the atmosphere appropriately.
Reed sat on the chair and pondered for a long time. Finally, he sighed and said, "Then let's go take a look, but you must listen to my command."
"That's what we should have done long ago." Johnny stretched out his hand and high-fived Ben beside him.
Susan frowned when she saw her younger brother's cheerful appearance. She couldn't help but say, "Especially you, Johnny, we might clash with the other side. You remember, you must not make a fuss just to show off."
Johnny puffed out his cheeks and let out a breath. He raised his hand and made a gesture of surrender, making people wonder if he had listened at all.
The three people present had an idea at the same time, which was that they must spare some mind to pay attention to Johnny's movements and not let him mess around.
"Alright! Breakfast time is over. Next, it's time to prepare for battle." Johnny clapped his hands to mobilize everyone. "Hurry up, rookies, pick up your guns, it's time for us to go to the battlefield."
Listening to Johnny's military speech learned from movies, Ben, who had really been a soldier, shook his head with a smile. However, he still obediently stood up to make preparation.
Susan rolled her eyes at her younger brother and left the restaurant with Reed. When Johnny came back to his senses, he was the only one left in the restaurant.
…
"Has anyone replied, Mr. Mark?"
Mark put the earphone aside and shook his head at the little girl behind him who was as bright as sunlight.
"No, little girl, it's still the same as yesterday. There's nothing in the radio station except for those TV programs."
"Is that so?" The girl was a little disappointed. Mark rubbed his dry eyes to comfort her.
"Don't worry, little girl. Not everyone can assemble radio equipment by hand. Maybe someone received the news with a radio, but they may not be able to respond. Thinking on the bright side, maybe they are on their way."
"You're right, sir." The girl smiled again. "By the way, it's almost time for lunch. You can come down. I'll have Tyrone replace you."
"Got it. You go down first. I'll go down after I finish debugging the equipment."
The girl nodded, turned around, pushed the door, and walked out of the small room. Just as she left the room, she ran into a human who was hiding his body in a large cloak.
Facing such an unusual human, the girl was not afraid. Instead, she showed a smile again.
"Have you finished your food, Tyrone?"
The Black boy called Tyrone nodded and said, "I'm here to replace Mr. Mark. What's the situation, Tandy?"
"Still the same." Tandy shrugged her shoulders pretending to be relaxed. "Mr. Mark is debugging the equipment. Remember not to scare him."
Tyrone nodded. He looked normal in expression, but Tandy still saw that he had something unspeakable.
"What's wrong, Tyrone?"
Tyrone hesitated for a moment, and finally opening said, "Kilgrave is a bit unusual. Be careful not to be alone with him."
"Kilgrave?" A purple shadow flashed through Tandy's mind. "What's wrong with him? I remember he has always been low-key."
"Someone reported that he has been a bit abnormal recently and has been seen going out again." Tyrone's face was cold. "Maybe he betrayed us and reported the position to the Serpent Society."
Tandy frowned slightly. She didn't like to convict people based on some unusualness, but the person who said this was Tyrone, whom she trusted more. So Tandy still raised a bit of vigilance in her heart.
Tandy asked, "Do other people know about this thing?"
Tyrone shook his head and said, "No, only you and me, and the person who reported it know."
"Then let's hide it for now." Tandy breathed a sigh of relief. "If this thing is announced at this time, it will definitely cause great mess."
Tyrone nodded. Of course, he knew this reason, so he ran directly to discuss it with Tandy. Otherwise, he could have directly announced this thing in public.
After all, this news is only based on one person's confession. There is no other evidence, and it will also cause internal strife and infighting among our own people. Tyrone would not be so stupid as to announce it.
"By the way." Tandy suddenly remembered something. "Who told you this news? Did you tell him to keep it secret?"
"Of course." Tyrone nodded, and then uttered a name that Tandy didn't expect.
"It was Quentin Quire who told me."
…
In the messy hall, crowds gathered in twos and threes. Some were eating things, some were chatting, and some were playing some simple games. In short, they were all killing time.
Although everyone had business to do, it could be seen that almost everyone looked absent-minded. An uneasy atmosphere spread in the crowd and might be detonated at any time.
Only a few people were not infected by this atmosphere. Among them, there was a pink hair kid who was particularly conspicuous. In addition, he had oversized sunglasses on his ears. It was really hard not to notice him.
Different from others, the pink hair kid also always had things to be busy with, but he was particularly focused. His hand kept gesturing various actions. People who didn't know might believe that he was possessed by a ghost.
"Quentin!"
Hearing someone call his name, the pink hair kid raised his head and came out of his focused state. As soon as he looked up, he saw Tandy, who was as bright as sunlight.
"Have you had lunch?"
Facing Tandy's concern, Quentin just pushed his oversized sunglasses and then reply coldly.
"I think there should be an empty can in my presence. You shouldn't need to ask me again specifically."
"This is pleasantries, Quentin." Tandy rubbed Quentin's pink hair head helplessly, like facing a naughty younger brother. Although the latter frowned, he never dodged.
"By the way, I'm here to ask you something."
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 622 Commotion
Quentin's eyes, hidden beneath his oversized glasses, flickered with a strange light. The huge, mismatched glasses, which could only be described as exaggerated, almost completely covered the upper half of his face. Even Tandy, who was so close to him, couldn't see what this pink-haired kid was thinking.
Not to mention the few people peeking and craning their necks behind Tandy.
"I've said everything I need to say," Quentin said, ignoring Tandy's beautiful smiling face. "I think I made myself very clear to Tyrone. If you have any questions, just go ask him. There's no need to come waste my time."
Quentin's impatient attitude reminded Tandy of a child from her relatives' family. Because of his wealthy family background, that child was also a fearless little rascal, looking down on everyone. It was estimated that the only thing that could make him afraid was his Dad's Belt.
Even Tandy, with her good personality, sometimes couldn't stand that child. It was a pity that she would never see that child again in this lifetime, because he had already been crushed under his own villa.
Tandy's only relief was that her parents had been transferred to another place for work reasons, so she didn't have to worry about their comfort.
As for her, she stayed behind for academic reasons. Unexpectedly, staying behind led her to experience the Midtown High School Campus Attack Incident, and then, just two days later, the New York Fall Incident.
How should she put it? Although she had been constantly unlucky, at least she had survived. She had also coincidentally awakened a superpower, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to lead a group of people to find a place to live in these ruins.
At first, it was a bit difficult, but fortunately, she met Tyrone, whose ability complemented hers, and Mr. Mark, who was good at repairing electrical appliances. With the help of these two, she felt much more at ease.
Seeing that things were getting better and better, and that they might be able to get out of trouble if they persevered for a while longer, she never expected that someone among the survivors she managed would actually steal supplies from the Serpent Gang, which brought disaster upon them.
Just thinking about this made Tandy's head ache. How did those ordinary people without superpowers have the guts to steal supplies from the Serpent Gang?
By the time Tandy and the others realized it, the Serpent Gang's tactics had already reached their doorway. She really didn't know how the Serpent Gang had found their hiding place. Maybe it was really as Tyrone said, there was a mole.
But now was not the time to think about these things. The Serpent Gang guys were demons who ate people without spitting out their bones. A few days ago, she had encountered a human's corpse that had been hung up. Judging from the badge drawn on it, it was done by the Serpent Gang.
In her shelter, there were also people who had fled from other shelters. According to them, the Serpent Gang was just a small gang before the New York Fall. After the Fall, several gang members also gained superpowers. This suddenly made them the most powerful collective in the ruins.
As gang members, they were already brave and fierce. With the help of superpowers, they were even more powerful. They only took two days to subdue two blocks centered on their original gang base.
Under their control, those with superpowers became thugs, while ordinary people without superpowers became the lowest-level servants, giving off a feeling of returning to the 16th century.
It was said that they even wanted to climb up the newly erected Wall, wanting to turn the New York Ruins into their own base, and then launch an invasion of the outside world.
So before that, the Serpent Gang wanted to first integrate all the superhumans in the New York Ruins, gather these power, and launch a counter-attack against the outside world.
Tandy didn't want to live a day of only slaughter. Perhaps it was for this reason that she was able to awaken her current superpower. It was just a pity that her ability was of little help against the aggressive enemy.
Now, the only combat power she could rely on was Tyrone. She could barely be considered half, and although Mr. Mark didn't have superpowers, his skills could also be considered half, which together with her, they could be considered as one person.
Thinking about it, the number of superhumans in her shelter was really small, only herself and Tyrone. Also, her shelter was just a small one, with only a dozen or so people including ordinary people.
It sounded like a lot, but it couldn't compare to the Serpent Gang who was about to attack them. The other side had seven or eight superhumans alone, not to mention ordinary people.
Tandy could only pray now, hoping that someone would hear their cry for help and come to rescue them.
Tandy glanced at the clock hanging in the hall. Their shelter was actually a subway station, but because of the giant riots, the subway passage had collapsed, and only a small station had survived.
The clock she looked at to check the time was the clock originally hanging in the subway. It showed three o'clock in the afternoon. Three hours had passed since she talked to Quentin, and it was almost time for the Serpent Gang's deadline.
Looking at the crowd whose atmosphere had already sunk to the extreme, Tandy sighed. In the end, no one had heard their distress signal, or perhaps no one was willing to help them at all.
Tandy shook her head, driving the negative emotion out of her head. Just as she was about to cheer herself up, Tyrone's sound came from behind her.
"They're here," Tyrone said, hiding his body under his cloak.
"I spotted them two kilometers away. They're coming straight towards our direction."
Tyrone's sound was not deliberately lowered. Everyone in the hall heard his words, and a commotion suddenly broke out in the crowd.
"Quiet down! Quiet down!" Tandy quickly stepped forward. "Tyrone and I will go out to negotiate with the Serpent Gang. We will try our best to ensure everyone's safety."
"I said long ago that this wouldn't work."
Just as Tandy wanted to calm the crowd's emotion, a timid sound filled with panic suddenly rang out. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Zebediah Killgrave, a strange person with purple hair and skin.
Zebediah Killgrave was the person Tyrone had previously reminded Tandy to be careful of, and also the person Quentin had reported as possibly being a mole.
"We should have run away long ago! Why are you making us wait here for death!" Zebediah looked a little manic, as if he had lost his composure due to extreme panic.
"I know, you must be planning to offer us to those demons as labor, that must be it!"
The more Zebediah spoke, the more certain he became, and the louder his sound became. In the end, he was almost shouting.
"Anyway, you all have superpowers, you definitely don't care about the fate of us ordinary people, am I right!"
This barrage of words stunned Tandy for a few seconds. By the time she wanted to refute, it was already past the best timing.
Seeing that Zebediah was about to continue inciting the crowd, someone Tandy didn't expect stood up.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 623 Rock Python
"Is your butt sitting on top of your shoulders?"
The arrogant way of speaking, everyone present knew who said these words without even looking in the direction of the voice. In this Shelter, only one person spoke like this.
"Quentin Quire!" Zebediah's cowardice disappeared for a moment. "What do you mean by that?"
"Literal meaning." Quentin put his hands in his pockets, looking like a hoodlum with his oversized sunglasses.
"Are you really a socialite who has been struggling in society for a long time? How can you not even understand such a simple thing? Even a 14-year-old Child like me can understand."
As Quentin spoke, he jumped onto a table and sat down unhurriedly in front of everyone.
"The Serpent Gang has already released news, saying they will attack us this evening. Why do you think they released the news?"
Without looking at Quentin's eyes, one could tell that he had no respect for Zebediah. This made the elder lose all Respect, Tandy even saw his face turn purplish-brown, obviously angered to the point that his originally purple face became even more purple.
"You don't think the Serpent Gang are a bunch of idiots, do you? Deliberately releasing news just to let us escape? Don't be silly, Eggplant Person, they are doing this for nothing more than two reasons."
As soon as Quentin finished speaking, he held out two fingers, and then continued.
"First, using the long waiting time to wear down our battle Will. When a large army approaches a city, no Soldier is not nervous, let alone Ordinary Person like us."
"Second, it is to use pressure to make us fight among ourselves. After all, for most people, it is better to bully the weak behind closed Doors than to draw a knife against the Powerful Being. In a state of high tension, even Barracks will experience mutiny."
After speaking, Quentin's extended right Hand smoothly turned into a handgun gesture, aiming it at Zebediah, whose face had darkened even further.
"Coincidentally, you've done both things. It's hard for me not to suspect that there's something wrong with your brain. In my opinion, you are either extremely stupid or extremely bad, in any case, not a good thing. If I were you…"
Quentin pointed his right Hand, shaped like a handgun, at his own Temple, and softly uttered a word.
"Bang!"
The meaning was self-evident. Zebediah lost all Face, his Face was as black as the bottom of a pot. The originally noisy Crowd around him also quieted down. Quentin also jumped off the table and turned to leave.
"I guess the Serpent Gang has already set up an Encirclement Net to surround us. Now, going out is a dead end, I can't think of any other Outcome, oh right, Superhumans might be able to survive."
Quentin stopped his Body when he said this, turned his head, and said with a mocking expression while adjusting his oversized sunglasses.
"Unfortunately, none of us are."
After speaking, ignoring Tandy who wanted to call him to stop, he walked towards the depths of the Subway Station on his own, not knowing what he was going to do.
Even if a Battle might break out next, no one would call him to stop, because Quentin was really too young, only 14 years old. It was impossible for anyone to call him to the Battlefield, even if he hid, no one would say anything.
Oh, except for Zebediah, who had just lost Face.
Tandy looked at Quentin's back View and shook her head helplessly. She moved her line of sight to the quiet Crowd, and gently opened her mouth to speak.
"Let's discuss what to do later."
This time, no one stood up to interrupt her.
…
Tandy and Taylor stood at the Subway Station entrance, looking into the distance at the Convoy. It was obvious that it was the Serpent Gang's Convoy. The two of them secretly braced themselves, preparing to deal with what was about to happen.
Six Cars stopped less than a hundred meters away from the two of them. It was really not easy to find so many intact Cars in New York today.
As soon as the Car stopped, the car Door was opened, and several Humans wearing Strange Costumes of various colors got out of the Car. They were all carrying various Weapons in their Hands, but they were all Cold Weapons.
Baseball Bat and water Pipe, and even a few holding Golf Club looked like lunatics. Taylor's pupils shrank, and he also noticed a few who were carrying Guns on their Body.
"Bang!"
The muffled sound of a car Door closing attracted Tyrone and Tandy's attention. A Black man with an unusually tall Figure walked out of a Jeep. He was at least two meters tall. Tandy couldn't help but wonder how this person squeezed into such a small Car.
The man's Clothes were tightly stretched on his Body, outlining the Muscle that was carved out like a knife and axe. Not knowing whether it was decoration or Weapon, the man's Arm and Waist were wrapped with thick Iron Chain. Each Iron Chain was as thick as two adult Fingers.
Even if it was wrapped around a Fist to be used as a gauntlet, it would be a terrifying weapon, let alone swung as a Whip.
"Which of you two is in charge!" the man asked in a deep voice. The Sound sounded like a muffled drum.
"We both are!" Tyrone responded to the strong man's question first, diverting some of the pressure from Tandy.
"Okay." The man nodded. "I am Rock Python of the Serpent Gang. I won't say much more. Your people stole our Serpent Gang's Supplies. This is a provocation to the Serpent Gang."
"We know." Tandy swallowed her saliva. "So we want to discuss a compensation plan with the Serpent Gang. We will try our best to meet your requirements."
"Are there any Superhumans in your Shelter?" Rock Python asked.
"Only the two of us are, the rest are Ordinary People." Tandy hurriedly replied, hoping that the Identity of Superhuman could be used as a bargaining chip to help them get a better Outcome.
"Okay, then you guys come with me." Rock Python seemed to have lost the Idea of continuing to ask questions, and couldn't wait to end the negotiation.
"We'll go with you? What about the others?" Tandy asked.
"Of course, they will be killed." Rock Python calmly said words that made Tandy's Fur stand on end.
"We don't have any Food Reserves left either. These useless Vassals of course can only be killed. Keeping them will only rob the few Supplies. When we meet them, of course, they will all be killed."
"They are all Human Life!" Tandy's Eyes turned red.
"Just Ordinary People." Rock Python said mercilessly. "Why care about the life and Death of those Ordinary People? We are all Superhumans, Creatures of a higher level, and we are no longer Creatures of the same level as Ordinary Humans."
"I advise you to change your Idea as soon as possible, or do you want to play the Hero and save those Ordinary People?"
As Rock Python said this, the Thugs under his Hand had already raised the Weapons in their Hands, and it seemed that they had entered a state of Battle, just waiting for the boss to give an order to launch an Attack.
"If that's the case, I can only teach you a Lesson first, so that you can give up that ridiculous Hero dream as soon as possible."
(End of chapter)
Chapter 624 Quentin Quire
Deep within the Subway Station, Quentin was standing in front of a collapsed Passage, looking at the Passage blocked by Ruins, seemingly lost in thought.
"Rustle."
The sound of Shoe Sole rubbing against the Ground. Quentin pushed up his Oversized Glasses. These Glasses were still too big for him, and he had to readjust them every so often, otherwise they would slip off his ears.
"Quentin, why are you still here?"
An old man wearing a Beanie came around the Corner of the Tunnel, looking at Quentin, who was young enough to be his grandson, with a worried expression.
"Miss Tandy and Mr. Tyrone have already reached an agreement with the Serpent Society. They have pardoned our theft and are now gathering everyone in the Hall."
The old man's tone was gentle, as if he were really talking to his grandson.
"Hurry up, those Big Shots have also arranged Work for us. If you do well, you can get another serving of Food. If you're late, there will be nothing left."
"Tell Kilgrave to get out here." Quentin answered irrelevantly, not responding to the old man's Words, but instead bringing up another person on his own. This nonsensical answer stunned the old man on the spot.
"What are you talking about, Quentin? Why are you suddenly mentioning Mr. Zebediah?" The old man looked at Quentin in confusion. "Hurry up, or it will be too late."
"Stop pretending, Purple Man." Quentin rolled his Eyes. "We both know your Ability well. If you have time to play this game with me, you might as well get straight to the point and save some Time."
The old man stopped talking. Next, the sound of leather shoes heels rubbing against the Ground rang out. The 'da da da' sound echoed continuously in the empty Tunnel, making Quentin frown.
A few seconds later, Zebediah emerged from the Corner of the Tunnel, just like the old man before. Different from before, Zebediah's Face no longer contained timidity, but was full of confidence. His every move exuded elegance, looking like a country gentleman from some Aspect.
"You really do know my little Secret, Mr. Quentin." Zebediah said with a Smile. "I'm very curious how you found out. I was clearly very careful."
"I can smell the Stench on you from a mile away." Quentin gestured to fan the air in front of his Nose. "And you've incited the Emotion of the Crowd in front of me quite a bit. Only an Idiot wouldn't notice the abnormality."
"Is that so?" Zebediah clapped his Palm. "It seems Miss Tandy and Mr. Tyrone are not as smart as you, Child. Clearly, they are also chosen Humans like me, such powerful Power is wasted on them."
"If those two Powers were also used by me, I wouldn't have to shrink in such a small Aspect, living in fear."
A trace of madness appeared on Zebediah's Face, but he quickly returned to normal and said, "But unfortunately, because of a little failure, I'm not very daring to use Superpower on Creatures that are also Superhuman, otherwise I would have already..."
"Enough." Quentin interrupted Zebediah's self-indulgent rant. "I don't have Time to listen to your Dog barking here. After I deal with you, I still have to go up and clean up the Butt for that Power Man and Dagger couple."
"You are very arrogant, Quentin." Zebediah was not annoyed, still maintaining his leisurely attitude. "I guess you also possess Superpower, right? But if you think you can take me down with that little Strength, you are very wrong."
Zebediah snapped his fingers, and a dozen or so people emerged from the Corner, tall, short, fat, and thin, all of them were other people from the Sanctum.
"My Ability can control more than just a shriveled old man." The Corner of Zebediah's Mouth rose. "I don't know my Limit yet, but controlling a dozen or twenty Ordinary Person is still easily done."
Zebediah looked at the pink-haired Kid in front of him triumphantly and said, "How is it? Are you regretting your impulsiveness? Too late, Kid! This is your Lesson for being rude to me! Go and beat him to Death!"
With Zebediah's order, those Ordinary Person with dull gazes immediately strode towards Quentin, cooperating with the surrounding Environment, it looked like a Zombie Apocalypse.
And Quentin, as the target, seemed to be frightened, just standing there in Original Place, watching the Crowd rush up. Facing the opponent's unbearable appearance, Zebediah revealed a Smile of assured victory.
"Bang!"
A deafening Gunshot echoed continuously in the underground Tunnel, unable to Peaceful for a long Time. Zebediah's Smile froze on his Face, and his Smile also disappeared as he watched the Crowd fly out backwards.
'Where did the Gun come from?' Zebediah looked along the gap revealed by the Crowd falling to the Ground, and just happened to see Quentin holding a Double-Barreled Shotgun with a shortened Gun Barrel in his Hand. The most surprising thing was that the Gun was pink all over, just like his hair color.
"You seemed to think you had me cornered." Quentin held the Double-Barreled Shotgun in one Hand, and with a casual wave of the other Hand, the Oversized Sunglasses that had fallen to the Ground due to the recoil were grabbed by him.
"You actually shot Ordinary Person!" Zebediah was in shock. "You little Madmen!"
Zebediah felt that Quentin was too extreme. Even a Guy like him who prided himself on being completely bad would not casually take other people's Life. That pink-haired Kid actually pulled out a Gun and shot Ordinary Person!
This Kid was a bad seed worse than himself, or of the Psychopath type!
"Open your Dog Eyes and take a good look." Quentin put the Glasses back on. "I didn't expect your Intelligence Quotient to be so low, and even your Eyes are not working well."
Zebediah lowered his Head and found that those who were shot not to mention Blood, there wasn't even a single Wound, but they were indeed no longer moving, and even Zebediah could not Control them. They looked like they were asleep.
"What's going on?" Zebediah was taken aback.
Quentin picked his Ear and said, "With your Intelligence Quotient, it's difficult for me to explain it clearly to you. You'll understand when you experience it yourself."
Zebediah stepped into the Ice Cave and hurriedly shouted, "Stop him! Stop him!"
After saying these Words, Zebediah turned around and ran, completely losing the elegance he had at the beginning, looking like a stray Dog fleeing in panic.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Several Gunshot rang out behind him. Zebediah didn't even dare to turn his Head, as if there was some Wild Beast behind him, and he would be devoured if he was a second slower.
"Click!"
The Sound of something being fastened. Zebediah felt a sense of tightness coming from his Ankle, and then his Legs lost Control. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't take a step, and then he fell heavily to the Ground.
Because he was running at full Strength, Zebediah's fall was really dizzying. Not to mention his Clothes were covered in Dust, his Arm and Face were also scratched with Wounds.
(End of chapter)
Chapter 625 Showdown with the Serpent Gang
"Hiss~ Ah."
It wasn't just the wound from the fall and friction, but also the burning pain of sand getting into the wound that made Zebediah, this pampered guy, cry out immediately.
Zebediah endured the pain from the wound on his palm, struggling to prop himself up. He lowered his head to look at his feet and found a pink shackle firmly locked on his wrist.
He tried to break free with strength, but found that this thing couldn't be broken with his power alone. At this moment, he was like a stranded fish, unable to move quickly with his legs shackled together.
In short, he was finished and had no way to escape.
"Da, da, da."
By the time Zebediah regained his consciousness, Quentin, carrying a double-barreled shotgun, had already walked up to him. Even through those large oversized sunglasses, Zebediah could see the contempt in his gaze.
"Mercy! Woo-ow!"
Before Zebediah could finish his words, Quentin had already shoved his double-barreled shotgun roughly into Zebediah's mouth, stopping his mouth from making another sound.
Zebediah naturally wanted to resist. He reached out his hands instinctively trying to pull the gun barrel out of his mouth, but of course, Quentin wouldn't let him do that.
"Pa!"
Quentin snapped his fingers with his free left hand, and then a pair of huge shackles appeared out of thin air, locking Zebediah's hands and body together. Now he really had become a fish that could only splash around.
"I've wasted too much time on you," Quentin said peacefully, forming a stark contrast with Zebediah, who had already started to shed tears and snot.
"Goodbye."
"Bang!"
Quentin pulled the trigger. After the gunshot, Zebediah's body jerked backward and fell backward under the force of the impact. But just like those ordinary people before, Zebediah's head didn't explode into fireworks.
Quentin frowned, and with a wave of his hand, a translucent pink barrier rose up in front of him, just enough to block his body and also keep Zebediah's urine, leaked after incontinence, outside the wall.
"Disgusting," Quentin gagged, stepping over Zebediah who had fallen to the ground, and walked towards the other end of the tunnel.
...
Tandy was panting heavily, and Tyrone beside her was in a similar state. Words had already broken down. Since they hadn't reached an agreement with Rock Python sent by the Serpent Gang earlier, the latter had sent his thugs to besiege them.
Initially, Tandy and Tyrone hadn't taken these thugs seriously, but after actually fighting, they realized that the actual situation was very different from what they had imagined.
These thugs were obviously not ordinary people either. Their physical ability was definitely not something ordinary people could achieve. Whether it was speed or strength, they were far beyond ordinary people. Fortunately, Tyrone was there to help, otherwise Tandy would have suffered in the first encounter.
It seemed that these people, like them, were superhuman, but their superpower might just be some body enhancement or something. If it were a one-on-one fight, they wouldn't pose a threat, but the bad thing was that they were attacking in groups of twos and threes.
Two fists are no match for four hands, which described the current situation. If Tandy were alone, without Rock Python, who looked very difficult to deal with, even making a move, she would have been captured by these thugs before that.
However, now she had Tyrone's help. Coincidentally, the latter's ability complemented her perfectly. If the two cooperated, they could achieve an effect greater than one plus one equals two.
They hadn't quite figured out the cloak's ability yet, but they roughly knew its ability. Leaving aside the teleportation ability to a strange world, just its energy absorption ability was very suitable for Tandy to pair with.
Tyrone, standing behind Tandy, had half of his face hidden under the cloak. His cloak suddenly moved without wind. As the cloak was lifted, what people saw was not his body, but a deep, unsettling darkness.
Black mist rushed out of his cloak, and soon enveloped all the Serpent Gang members, including him and Tandy.
According to their experiment, people shrouded in the mist would have their stamina slowly absorbed by Tyrone, and at the same time, it would also have a certain effect on the spirit of those shrouded. This was an indiscriminate attack; anyone shrouded in the mist would be attacked.
This of course also included Tandy, but Tandy's own ability ensured that she could live peacefully in this area.
Seeing that the stage had been set up, Tandy no longer hid anything. She stretched out her hands forward, and two light balls appeared out of thin air on her palm and were held in her hand.
The light balls received compression and began to take shape, and then turned into two daggers about 6 inches long. Tandy flipped her wrist, and the two daggers split into three daggers each.
After aiming in a general direction, Tandy threw the daggers in her hand. Six daggers flew towards the direction of the Serpent Gang, but Tandy's casual attitude made people doubt whether these daggers could really hit anyone accurately.
But a surprise scene happened. Those daggers, as if equipped with guidance devices, aimed at the thugs closest to them after flying a certain distance.
This greatly exceeded everyone's surprise. Those thugs couldn't evade in time and were hit squarely by the daggers, but the scene of flesh and blood flying everywhere did not appear.
Although no wound was caused, it didn't mean that these daggers were without damage. Those thugs who were hit by the daggers fell to the ground with blank faces. They felt themselves getting more and more tired, their spirit was in a daze, and they could faint at any time.
"Be careful of those daggers," Rock Python frowned. "These two guys' abilities are very strange."
He could feel that he was already feeling tired. Normally, this was impossible, because he had once fought another member of the Serpent Gang for a whole day before feeling tired.
Obviously, this was all caused by the black person hiding behind the woman. His mist was very strange, and they couldn't stay here for long.
Everyone understood the reason of beating a dog in the water. Tandy and Tyrone obviously didn't intend to give up their stage advantage. How could they let their opponents easily negate the stage magic they had just set up?
