Chapter 425 Whoâs Surrounded?
Zhou Wen had been wearing the Truth Listener earring. Although he was still in the room, he immediately discovered a problem. He opened the door and walked out, only to see JĂĄk standing there in the officerâs uniform.
"We meet again. Not bad. You have protected my ingredients well." JĂĄk stared at Zhou Wenâs body from head to toe as though he was examining his food.
"Arenât you afraid of being surrounded when entering a military camp so brazenly? You wonât be able to escape like the previous time. Or should I say, is this just another one of your avatars?" Zhou Wen also stared at JĂĄk as he sized him up.
JĂĄk gave a sinister smile. "Itâs hard to say whoâs being surrounded. As for this being my main body or my avatar, you can guess. If youâre right, I can let you choose how Iâll cook you."
Zhou Wen silently held the Bamboo Blade. He didnât want to guess or say any nonsense like "Release Lu Su." To a person like JĂĄk, those words were meaningless. Life was probably inferior to an ant to him.
To Zhou Wenâs surprise, JĂĄk pushed Lu Su towards him.
Zhou Wen didnât help Lu Su up. Instead, he took a few steps back and allowed Lu Su to stagger to the ground.
Lu Su was alarmed, puzzled about Zhou Wenâs actions. Why wasnât he willing to even help her? She was just about to stand up when she heard Zhou Wen say, "Sit there and donât move."
Lu Su didnât know what Zhou Wen meant, but she knew that the situation wasnât right. Upon hearing Zhou Wenâs words, she sat on the ground and didnât stand up. She had guessed that JĂĄk was likely a member of the Special Inspector Bureau.
"Do we call for help?" Lu Su asked Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen shook his head slightly as his eyes remained peeled at JĂĄk.
JĂĄk laughed. "Thereâs no need to be so nervous. I did plant a Life Blast on her, but I didnât plan on detonating it. In fact, itâs not just her. In the entire camp, everyone except you has been planted with a Life Blast. As long as Iâm willing, I can hold a fireworks party here at any time. Do you want to see it?"
When Lu Su heard the words "Life Blast", her body trembled. She clearly knew what the words meant. She also knew why Zhou Wen hadnât helped her up. If Zhou Wen had touched her just now, she might have already exploded.
"Zhou Wen, donât bother about me. Inform the Deputy Governor. We canât let such a person leave no matter what," Lu Su said through gritted teeth.
"It looks like you donât believe me." JĂĄk snapped his fingers and they heard continuous explosions in the encampment.
Zhou Wen and Lu Su watched as a soldier walked over and exploded. Such explosions rang several times in the other parts of the military camp. Zhou Wen counted silently in his heart and heard a total of five explosions.
The entire military camp was in disarray. Alarms sounded everywhere. The soldiers were frantically rushing to the locations of the explosions.
Lu Su looked at the blood on the ground not far away and was dumbfounded. It wasnât as if she had never seen a dead person. Many people died fighting dimensional creatures, but this was the first time she had seen someone die like this.
Furthermore, JĂĄk also said that all the people in the encampment, including her, had been planted with a Life Blast. Just thinking about how all the soldiers could explode in the same manner, Lu Su felt a chill down her spine and her body involuntarily trembled.
Lu Su finally believed what Zhou Wen had said. He wasnât afraid that someone among the soldiers would try to harm him, but that he would implicate them.
"How did you do it?" Zhou Wenâs expression remained stoic as he asked JĂĄk.
He had done his research on Life Blast. It was similar to his Poison Dragon Palm. It needed physical contact with a living medium to use Life Blast. Furthermore, the process was more complicated than the Poison Dragon Palm. It wasnât as simple as a tap.
Using ants and leaves as a medium was easy, but it wouldnât be that easy to use humans as a medium.
Zhou Wen didnât believe that JĂĄk had actually planted a Life Blast on everyone in the encampment. He felt that JĂĄk was just bluffing. Perhaps only a few people had been planted with Life Blast.
JĂĄk said with a smile, "If it were someone else asking this question, I wouldnât bother answering. But you are different."
With that said, JĂĄk extended his hand and a purple cat appeared in front of him. It had short, purple fur and its tail was curled up. However, its eyes were black. Furthermore, its eyes had double pupils that made it look extremely demonic.
"A Mythical Hex Cat Demon. Although itâs still at the Epic stage and hasnât really advanced to the Mythical stage, its abilities are extremely compatible with mine. After obtaining it, I donât have to personally plant a Life Blast. All I need to do is add Life Blast to its curses. Everyone thatâs cursed by it will be automatically planted with Life Blast," JĂĄk said excitedly.
The Hex Cat Demon and his abilities were a perfect match, greatly boosting JĂĄkâs abilities.
"There should be a limit to the curse, right? Itâs impossible that this cat can curse whoever it wishes." Zhou Wen glanced at the chaotic military camp and continued speaking to JĂĄk.
"Of course there are restrictions. There is no power without restrictions. Although the Hex Cat Demon is a Mythical creature, it also has restrictions. However, this limitation isnât a problem for me. So now, everyone in this military camp, including this woman, has become my bargaining chip. If you donât wish for all of them to turn into fireworks, follow me obediently," JĂĄk said.
"Why donât you curse me directly? Isnât that more convenient?" Zhou Wen asked again.
"Such a top-notch ingredient naturally canât be tainted at all. Otherwise, it will be a huge waste. Before making you into a delicacy, I wonât let you suffer any damage." As JĂĄk spoke, he saw Qin Wufu rushing over with a group of Epic officers.
With such strange explosions happening at the encampment, Qin Wufu immediately imagined that something had happened to Zhou Wen. If a dimensional creature from Chess Mountain had rushed out, it wouldnât have been completely silent. He could tell at a glance that the technique used was Life Blast.
"Governor Qin, donât come over," Zhou Wen said to Qin Wufu.
If it was really as JĂĄk had said, everyone would be planted with Life BlastâQin Wufu and those Epic officers were terrifying bombs.
Exploding an Epic lifeformâs energy wouldnât be at the level of those soldiers. The entire encampment would probably be instantly flattened. Zhou Wen didnât want to be blasted to death.
"Is he from the Special Inspector Bureau?" Qin Wufu stopped and looked at Zhou Wen and JĂĄk, then at Lu Su sitting on the ground. Finally, his gaze landed on JĂĄk.
Although he could only see JĂĄkâs back, he was certain that he was from the bureau. Although he was wearing a military uniform, he didnât have the bearing of a soldier at all.
