Looks Better (Chapter 200)
When the wolf-headed man saw his companion die in front of his eyes, no matter what plans he had in mind before, he could only obediently lead the way now, not daring to have any other thoughts.
Joking aside, in the hands of an Esper, he was just an ant.
One that could be crushed with a single hand.
The wolf-headed man silently thought how unlucky they were, picking a target at random, only to run into an Esper, essentially walking straight to their deaths.
Besides the Esper with the strange black ability, the short woman beside her was also not to be underestimated.
With a single move, she could blow the tentacled guy into pieces...
Although she claimed not to be an esper, in the wolf-headed man's eyes, this was definitely a move only an esper could pull off.
So, running into two espers at once, they were truly 'lucky' to die.
As the wolf-headed man worried about his fate, Ye Sheng, sitting in the passenger seat, curiously looked ahead and couldn't help sharing her thoughts with Gu Luoyu beside her: “Ah yu, that wolf-man impostor is so strange, his legs are still in human form!”
“How ugly, I wonder if there are even stranger impostors at Black Spring?”
“Should we just...”
As she spoke, Ye Sheng's acting bug suddenly surfaced, and a cold smile appeared on her cute face. She then made a slashing motion across her neck, making Gu Luoyu beside her both amused and exasperated.
She could only nod, indicating they would kill him after he led the way.
She hadn't promised to spare the wolf-headed man after reaching the destination. Just like with contaminated creatures, showing them mercy was courting death.
This encounter with impostors also refreshed Ye Sheng's understanding.
Each one had 'evolved' beyond recognition.
Previously, at the Black Spring Freemasonry, most of the experimental subjects using transformation drugs still somewhat resemble humans. But now, the impostors only had parts of human body components.
When assembled together, they looked bizarre and grotesque, the kind of thing that could give you nightmares.
Therefore, Ye Sheng was looking forward to the new Black Spring Freemasonry base, wanting to see how the 'updated' Black Spring organization differed from before.
Of course, destroying the Black Spring Freemasonry base will also earn a lot of base points, which was another important reason!
Hehe.
Might as well earn while you can!
The wolf-headed man wasn't slow, and the distance to the new Black Spring Freemasonry base wasn't far. The car arrived at the destination in less than an hour.
After getting out of the car, Ye Sheng raised her hand to shield her forehead, her eyes fixed ahead.
She immediately felt it was as familiar as ever!
The Black Spring Freemasonry seemed to have an obsessive pursuit of grand and sturdy gates, making each base's gate so conspicuous, as if afraid people wouldn't notice. It reminded Ye Sheng of the time she sneaked in through the Black Spring Freemasonry gate.
However, times had changed. Back then, they needed to hide and avoid detection.
But now, they had no such worries.
After Gu Luoyu quickly killed the wolf-headed man and tossed the body aside, she led Ye Sheng towards the base gate.
Such a blatant move immediately caught the guards' attention. Without hesitation, they picked up their weapons and opened fire, executing anyone daring to approach!
But...
Although their weapons were powerful, they were still too weak against espers.
Especially against an esper like Gu Luoyu, who had encountered a rare opportunity.
Her black psychic barrier blocked all attacks, allowing them to safely reach the gate, while the shooting guards were hit by psychic arrows and dead fell.
Having seen so much death by now, Ye Sheng wasn't fazed by the bloodshed.
But she stared at the black barrier around them for a while before turning to Gu Luoyu with a suggestion: “Ah Yu, when you have time, try changing the color of your psychic power. After turning it black, although the outside can't see in, the inside can't see out either, which is a bit inconvenient.”
Every time the black psychic barrier enveloped and then released her, Ye Sheng's eyes had to readjust to the light.
If she ever had trouble sleeping, she could consider hiding in the black barrier for a good night's sleep.
Hearing Ye Sheng's suggestion, Gu Luoyu was momentarily stunned. As an esper, she was already accustomed to her surroundings, and no matter how harsh the environment, it wouldn't affect her. Thus, the black psychic barrier didn't bother her.
But she had forgotten Ye Sheng wasn't used to it.
Thinking this, Gu Luoyu immediately controlled the black psychic power, and the color of the psychic energy began to fade.
However, it didn't return to its original transparency but hovered between translucent and gray.
Even this was much better.
At least they can see the outside now...
But Gu Luoyu was somewhat dissatisfied. She frowned and said, “Still too rough. I'll practice more later, I can definitely control it better.”
“Alright, alright, this is good enough. But maybe try making it so the outside can't see in, but the inside can see out...”
As they spoke, it was as if they were walking through an empty space. All the guards blocking their path were dead beyond dead.
Gu Luoyu didn't go on a killing spree in front of Ye Sheng but controlled her nature, aiming for one-hit kills to avoid making the scene too bloody... Ye Sheng was pregnant now, and it was better for her to see less of this.
After returning to the base, Gu Luoyu had bought an old parenting manual at a second-hand market a few days ago. It was filled with rich content, and although she wasn't sure if it would work, it was better to follow it.
With no one able to stop them, Ye Sheng felt like she was walking with her head held high.
Hahaha, this time they really stood tall! In the past, every encounter with the Black Spring Freemasonry ended in a hasty retreat. Nothing like today's direct confrontation!
She then looked up at the signs in the tunnel, pondering where to go first.
Since they were here, they might as well take some loot back, like crates of energy stones...
Energy stones were both consumables for use and good for exchanging for lottery points, something Ye Sheng will never miss.
However, as soon as she saw the sign, Ye Sheng couldn't help but let out a surprised “Huh?” finding it a bit strange.
She tugged on Gu Luoyu's sleeve and pointed at the words on the sign, asking curiously: “Ah yu, look, what does that Ocean Research Center mean?”
In the post-apocalyptic wasteland world, everything related to the ocean was quite impressive!
