Chapter 786: 417 Advanced Weapon_2

Bai Ye’s mind instantly recalled how Zhao Qiankun had teamed up with Bai Zhengyi last time to try to get rid of him. Not only that, but Zhao Qiankun had also sent quite a few people to their deaths. Given Zhao Qiankun’s nature, who knew how many people would suffer in this major purge?

Thinking about this made him feel immensely annoyed. Ever since he had been oppressed by Bai Zhengyi and Bai Yi, he had developed a loathing for these manipulative schemes, which was why he preferred not to join the Military Department and instead became a freelance mercenary. Now, in these apocalyptic times with disasters occurring frequently, how lucky were those who had managed to survive? Especially those superpower users who had successfully awakened, they truly were the lucky ones.

Yet these people, rather than thinking of uniting to live well together, spent their days scheming for personal gain, even willing to implicate innocent people. They were simply unworthy of the human skin they wore!

Regrettably, no matter how much he detested Zhao Qiankun now, he had no way to pursue him. Zhao Qiankun had that strange battle suit, and unless Bai Ye could fly with his sword, there was no way he could catch up with him. However, at this moment, he had more pressing matters to attend to.

That Evil Demon must be eliminated!

Although Zhao Qiankun was no good person, the harm caused by the Evil Demon was far greater! If that Evil Demon wasn’t taken care of, there was no telling how many people it would kill!

Bai Ye couldn’t afford to delay any longer and said to Fang Yuyang, "Let’s move quickly, finding that Evil Demon is urgent! As for Zhao Qiankun, let others deal with that headache."

At the mention of this, Fang Yuyang’s brow furrowed tightly, his expression becoming extremely solemn. As he followed Bai Ye, he asked, "Bai Ye, are you sure it’s an Evil Demon?"

Bai Ye shook his head, then firmly said, "I’m not sure, but the fact that it feasts on the flesh and blood of superpower users is true. Even if it’s not the kind of Evil Demon from the Cultivation World, it’s definitely an advanced zombie!"

As the two hurried on their way, in the large Luyun County, numerous advanced superpower users were having the Crystal Cores extracted from their hearts. Their bodies were turning into a mist of blood, cleanly absorbed by the "Evil Demon" mentioned by Bai Ye.

However, since Luyun County was too large for the superpower users, the scattered crowd made it impossible for even the formidable Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang to find the "Evil Demon" promptly. The high-level superpower users left no bones after their deaths, only some torn clothes were left, mingling inconspicuously with the ruins.

Aside from Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang, the other superpower users simply couldn’t sense the presence of that "evil" force in the air.

Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang continued their pursuit of the "Evil Demon," but they were always a step behind. By the time they sensed the "evil" force and made their way there, they would only find ruins and torn pieces of cloth, with the "Evil Demon" nowhere to be found.

As time passed, they grew increasingly uneasy. Fang Yuyang sighed, "This isn’t working, we need to find a way to get those superpower users to retreat."

Bai Ye nodded solemnly and was about to speak when he heard a voice in the distance: "Attention all Corpse Hunters! Due to an emergency, this operation is canceled, everyone prepare to gather and retreat along the original route!"

This announcement was being played repeatedly over loudspeakers. Hearing this, Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang breathed a sigh of relief. Regardless, it was good to retreat. The loss this time was probably quite severe, they thought, hearts heavy again at the thought of the unidentified "Evil Demon." Without getting rid of that "Evil Demon," who knew how much chaos it could still cause in Beishi City!

In the end, it was Bai Ye who patted Fang Yuyang on the shoulder, saying soothingly, "Let it go, since it appeared and we encountered it, it must be fate. We’ll definitely come across it again in the future, and when we do, we’ll exterminate it."

Fang Yuyang nodded, then as he watched the Corpse Hunters start flowing out of Luyun County, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind: "Bai Ye, do you know what the Evil Demon looks like? Or say, what characteristics do Evil Demons have?"

Bai Ye looked at him in surprise, "What do you mean?" Just as he finished asking and before Fang Yuyang could explain, he realized something himself. Thinking of a possibility, Bai Ye’s expression changed rapidly, "You’re worried... that it’s blended in with the Corpse Hunters?"

Fang Yuyang nodded again, then reminded Bai Ye, "Talking about it now is pointless, let’s get to the gathering point. If it has really infiltrated the team, with us there, we should be able to find it out. It’s just that I’m not sure if this creature would be foolish enough to walk into a trap."

Bai Ye fell silent, feeling that the "Evil Demon" was definitely not stupid. Its disappearance was so clean, and it only appeared briefly in one place each time, which indicated it was very cunning; how could it possibly walk into a trap?

Although he thought this way, he also secretly hoped that the "Evil Demon" would be dumb enough to come to them. Unfortunately, it seemed their luck was not on their side. They headed toward the outskirts of Luyun County, encountering other Corpse Hunters along the way, all of whom looked quite disheveled. Once confirmed they were not zombies, they were allowed onto the vehicle. Zombies occasionally sprung up to attack along the way, but by the time they reached the gathering point, the "Evil Demon" had not shown itself.

Another matter, however, demanded their attention at the gathering point. Upon arrival, they realized the atmosphere was incredibly tense, even to the point of a standoff. Looking closely, they saw the Qiankun Mercenary Group standing off against the White Wolf Mercenary Corps.

Zhao Qiankun, face ashen, stood to one side, his eyes searching the crowd of superpower users, as if looking for someone. The two instantly understood that Zhao Qiankun was trying to find them out.
