Chapter 302: Chapter 299: The Three Families Join Forces
"You act awfully familiar with me," Song Yiguo asked, his voice laced with intimidation.
Once could be a mistake, but this tone, several times now, was bound to raise suspicion.
And he was a suspicious man by nature.
’Chen Xing knew she was talking herself into a hole. But who could blame her? She was used to speaking with Song Yiguo this way.’
In the past, the two of them never had to spell things out.
They were both sharp; they could just get to the point.
"Your reputation precedes you. I’ve heard so much about you, so I suppose I feel like I know you well. My apologies!" Chen Xing quickly changed the subject. "I’m afraid Situ Lei Hao will make his move in the next two days!"
Song Yiguo arched a brow, his eyes filled with disdain. "He won’t get the chance to make a move!"
With that, he stopped dwelling on Chen Xing’s attitude and left with his men.
He was in for a busy couple of days.
He just never imagined Situ Lei Hao would strike so quickly, catching him completely off guard.
After leaving the medical facility, Song Yiguo took Vice General Du to his office.
They needed to plan tonight’s operation carefully.
To make it convenient to receive visitors from the various families, his office was built at the junction of the Four Great Families’ territories.
It was separated from the public areas by only a small corridor.
He had just entered the office, the meeting not yet started, when a soldier ran in. "A squad suddenly appeared and has surrounded the place!"
Vice General Du immediately stood in front of Song Yiguo. "How many?"
"A few hundred at least, and more are still pouring in!" It felt like they were being completely sealed off.
"Could it be that Situ Lei Hao decided to strike first?" Vice General Du turned to look at Song Yiguo.
A murderous look filled Song Yiguo’s eyes. "It’s not just Situ Lei Hao. The other three families must have joined forces!"
During the recent zombie siege on the Capital City, the Song Family Army had contributed the most, and thus had taken the heaviest blow.
For the other families, this was the perfect time to strike.
"Call for reinforcements!" Song Yiguo’s tone was surprisingly calm.
If a fight was the only way to resolve this, then so be it. This would be the final showdown.
Even if he lost, he would have no regrets.
Meanwhile, Chen Xing was also facing a sudden attack.
The four men protecting Chen Xing were standing guard outside the medical facility, so they were the first to be attacked.
Hearing the commotion, Chen Xing immediately came out.
She saw a Superpower Team of twenty people beating her four guards to within an inch of their lives.
She instantly erected an iron wall in front of her four men to block the path. Working with Chen Ming and Wang Quan, she pulled the men into the medical facility.
Then, she erected another wall at the entrance, sealing it off from the outside.
"You two treat their injuries. I’m going to check on Song Yiguo!" Given the situation here, things were probably even worse on his end.
After placing several more earthen and iron walls in front of the medical facility’s entrance, she finally removed the iron wall that had been blocking the twenty Superpower Users.
The attackers, all offensive-type Superpower Users sent to kill, were completely helpless against her unique superpower.
Chen Xing slammed a thick iron wall straight down on them.
The Superpower Users never expected her to attack from above the moment she appeared.
In that one move, she crushed at least half of them to death.
While they were in chaos, she threw a rock to destroy the surveillance camera, then unleashed several bolts of lightning.
The Superpower Users didn’t even have time to be shocked. Those who could dodge, dodged. Those who couldn’t, were struck down.
The two remaining uninjured Superpower Users looked on in disbelief.
’She has five superpowers?’
But thoughts were thoughts; they didn’t dare hesitate.
They had started with twenty, and in the blink of an eye, only two were left. How could they not be afraid?
However, Chen Xing’s personal Defense System gave them no opportunity to harm her.
The most infuriating part was her Defense Shield: they couldn’t penetrate it, but she could attack from within it.
In a fight between Superpower Users, the element of surprise was best.
Now that the two of them were prepared, killing them wouldn’t be so quick.
With a flick of her hand, Chen Xing released two black cats, which shot straight for the men’s heads.
The two men were fully focused on Chen Xing. They were surprised by the sudden appearance of the two black cats but didn’t think much of them.
It wasn’t until the cats’ long claws pierced their skulls and stabbed into their Crystal Cores that they realized their grave mistake.
But it was too late.
Chen Xing had no time to retrieve the Crystal Cores. She recalled the black cats and sprinted toward Song Yiguo’s office.
She had overheard Song Yiguo telling Vice General Du where they were going just before they left.
She hoped she wasn’t too late.
She needed to take down a large number of people at once. On the way, she found a small hut, went inside, and seeing no surveillance cameras, drew from the power source and fully charged herself.
’I’ve made up my mind. I can only afford to reveal one more superpower.’
Otherwise, if she couldn’t save Song Yiguo, she would be in danger too.
In her haste, the charging process was quick.
From a distance, she could see a large crowd gathered in the direction of Song Yiguo’s office.
It looked like the two sides were fighting fiercely.
Chen Xing activated her Defense Shield, charged into the crowd, and began mercilessly unleashing an electric current.
Nearly twenty people fell at once.
This was beyond Chen Xing’s expectations. ’My space must have upgraded again during that period when I couldn’t sense it.’
Her sudden intrusion threw the enemy forces into chaos.
In Song Yiguo’s office, however, things were not as comfortable as they were for Chen Xing.
Everyone was injured, including Song Yiguo.
"Looks like someone has broken into the enemy ranks!" an unknown, sharp-eyed person shouted, looking through the ruined doorway and seeing many of the enemy Superpower Users fall.
Moreover, a large portion of the Superpower Users had shifted their attacks from them to the newcomer.
Song Yiguo glanced over, distracted for a moment.
That one glance gave his enemy an opening.
A sharp blade appeared before him in an instant, chopping straight down.
He twisted in shock, trying to dodge, but the blade sliced clean through his arm.
It was severed neatly at the elbow.
Blood gushed from the severed limb like a fountain.
Beads of sweat dripped from Song Yiguo’s forehead, and his face turned deathly pale.
Vice General Du immediately shielded him with his own body and ordered another soldier to support Song Yiguo.
’Is this it? Are we finished?’
Just then, a seemingly transparent object barreled through the enemy Superpower Users.
"It’s Xing Yue..." Vice General Du’s voice cracked with emotion.
In a situation like this, she hadn’t hidden. Instead, she had braved the danger and come for them.
Most importantly, the way she unleashed her lightning was absolutely magnificent.
He had never seen anyone use a Thunder Ability more incredibly than she did.
Chen Xing’s Defense Shield was a sight to behold. All sorts of superpowers hammered down on it, yet it remained as unyielding as a diamond, without a single scratch.
She made it into Song Yiguo’s office smoothly.
Seeing Song Yiguo’s gruesome state, Chen Xing’s expression didn’t flicker.
As she drew near, her Defense Shield expanded, enveloping Song Yiguo and his men completely.
She picked up the severed arm from the floor and grabbed Song Yiguo’s hand.
She didn’t know if she could heal him; she’d never tried it before.
’But why do I feel so certain it will work?’
As Vice General Du and the others watched in astonishment, Song Yiguo’s severed arm slowly began to recover.
They could even see it regenerating from the bone outwards, to the flesh and finally the skin, until not even a scar remained.
