You guys are fine (Chapter 198)
The thing following the car seemed very brazen, not bothering to hide itself at all.
In fact, upon seeing Ye Sheng's alert demeanor, it deliberately made even louder noises.
It had the attitude of toying with weak prey, making Ye Sheng feel utterly speechless... Honestly, encountering her and Gu Luoyu, these people were the prey!
However, upon further thought, it was quite understood. These Imposters hunted scavengers as easily as an eagle caught a rabbit, posing no threat at all.
And the base's safe zone was like a farm, raising delicious meat to satisfy their appetites.
Even though there were now restrictions, it still wasn't a big threat. After all, with such a vast wilderness, unless the base forbade anyone from going out, once you stepped out of the safe zone, you entered their hunting grounds.
Becoming the pitiful prey they chased and toyed with.
As for powerful characters like Espers, although they could easily kill them, they were extremely rare. The base wouldn't waste such talent on trivial matters, only using the best steel for the blade.
So, the Imposters knew well that they could still roam freely.
With no natural enemies, they could kill to their heart's content!
Under normal circumstances, that would be the case, but they were unlucky this time... After Ye Sheng realized they had been discovered by the Imposters, she didn't continue pretending. Instead, she turned around and lay on the car seat, her eyes fixed on the rear.
Ye Heiya, sitting in the back seat, also found it curious, clucking and mimicking Ye Sheng's posture. Both the person and the swan were staring at the back of the car.
The Imposter chasing their open-top four-wheeled vehicle was likely a tentacle type, as blue-purple tentacles could be seen wriggling rapidly through the grass in sync with the car's speed.
Ye Sheng's excellent vision allows her to clearly see the suckers on the tentacles, similar to those on an octopus's legs.
It was enough to make one's scalp tingle.
Ye Sheng couldn't help but show a look of surprise, marveling in her heart at how impressive the inventor of the potion transformation was.
They had filled in many gaps in biological diversity.
Including the first-generation Imposters she had seen before, there were all sorts of bizarre shapes.
After watching for a while and seeing that the other party had no intention of attacking, Ye Sheng began to feel puzzled. She turned to Gu Luoyu, who was driving, and asked curiously, “Ah Yu, why isn't the Imposter following us attacking? What is it waiting for?”
“Probably waiting for its companions!”
“?”
Gu Luoyu, with her psychic abilities, 'saw' Ye Sheng's curiosity and explained in detail: “Through my psychic investigation, this Imposter is summoning its companions through a special method. It seems they want to play a game of catching a turtle in a jar.”
Only, in the end, the turtle will be them, and being played with will be more interesting.
After hearing the explanation, Ye Sheng still had questions: “But, according to the Imposters' predatory nature, why don't they just charge at us? Did they sense your domineering aura and are too scared to come over... That can't be it, knowing your true identity, they will definitely stay as far away as possible!”
Listening to Ye Sheng's teasing words, Gu Luoyu shook her head helplessly.
She held the steering wheel with one hand while raising the other to gently pat Ye Sheng's head, making Ye Sheng quickly dodge. With a smile, Ye Sheng grabbed Gu Luoyu's right hand and shamelessly kissed it.
Her partner, she could kiss as she pleased, so satisfying!
Gu Luoyu indulged Ye Sheng's playful behavior. After the kiss, she turned her palm up and scratched Ye Sheng's neck like teasing a kitten, making Ye Sheng squint her eyes in pleasure.
However, Gu Luoyu didn't forget to remind her: “When these Imposters attack later, remember to stay by my side to avoid getting hurt... Team Leader Lin mentioned that some Imposters carry toxins that take effect through attacks.”
Yet, Ye Sheng was eager to try. She hugged Gu Luoyu's arm and said coquettishly, “Ah Yu, I'm quite strong now too. Can I give it a try? I want to use the space bullet again.”
A skill obtained through a million-point lottery, it shouldn't be left gathering dust!
So far, Ye Sheng had only used it twice: once at the temporary base of Esper Squad 1, and another time during an experiment with Gu Luoyu.
Now that she finally had a chance to use it against an enemy, Ye Sheng didn't want to miss it and wanted to see her current strength.
Gu Luoyu didn't refuse. Although she thought Yes Sheng could just stay happily by her side, she wouldn't stop her if she wanted to strive to become stronger.
So, she nodded and agreed: “Of course, I have no intention of stopping you. Just be careful to avoid any accidents.”
“Mm-hmm.”
As the two spoke, the car had already left the base, and the Imposter following them finally couldn't hold back.
Soon, a creature covered in tentacles leaped forward rapidly, as if falling from the sky, trying to crash into the car and force it to stop.
However, its plan didn't succeed. Instead, it crashed into a black protective shield.
'Ah!'
With a scream, the tens of tentacles that touched the black shield immediately made a sizzling sound, and most of them disappeared into thin air.
Seeing this, the other waiting Imposters couldn't sit still, realizing they had encountered a tough opponent.
The other party wasn't an ordinary person or mercenary; there was a high chance they were a new ability user!
Thinking about the delicious flesh of new ability users, the Imposters couldn't help but lick their lips, their eyes gleaming with determination. They wouldn't let such a juicy piece of meat slip away.
Thus, the Imposters took action, transforming into wolves, extending vines, or becoming birdmen...
Making Ye Sheng felt like she was watching a free sci-fi movie, while Gu Luoyu, who was driving, remained unfazed, completely ignoring these creatures and continuing to drive steadily.
With the black psychic energy as a defense, there was no need to worry about anything else. Despite the Imposters exhausting their moves, they couldn't stop the car, only tiring themselves out.
Seeing the car getting further away, the first tentacle monster to appear told indignation: “Are we just letting them go? New ability users are much tastier than ordinary people, and she destroyed most of my tentacles. I won't let them off!”
“Heh, if you have the ability, break through that black shield. Otherwise, you can't even take a bite, let alone eat them!”
Just as the group began to argue, the car that had driven off suddenly turned back.
The Imposters immediately stopped bickering. Then, the car stopped, and two women got out. The shorter one smiled at them and greeted, “Hello there!”
