Chapter 662: Chapter 498: Plague Church (Two-in-One)

Zhang Xiaoman’s words suddenly made all four members of the Wildfire Team overjoyed.

What are everyone striving so desperately for?

To protect humanity, to fight against the evil spirits?

Perhaps, but that was definitely not all.

They were striving so hard for that path that led to becoming Transcendent.

At least for the four of them who originated from bounty hunters, they placed more importance on reality.

Zhang Xiaoman naturally knew these things too, he did not expect that he could make these people sell themselves to the organization unconditionally like fanatics right away.

Some things still needed gradual accommodation.

Since you all have desires, then I can satisfy them, provided that you obediently follow my orders and be of use to me.

For different people, different methods had to be used.

He entered the woods with Weiss and headed toward that hidden base. Zhang Xiaoman’s eyes slightly closed, and when he opened them again, they had turned into a form that emitted a golden glow.

This was the new ability he had just controlled, Spiritual Vision.

When Weiss saw this scene, he was suddenly shocked and secretly pondered what ability the Star Lord had now.

He knew about the Spirit Detection Technique, and just yesterday, he had enhanced himself with it using a Spirit Binding Scroll.

But the light emitted by the Spirit Detection Technique was a kind of silver glow, yet the Star Lord’s eyes now showed a dazzling gold.

It felt like the legendary Sun Wukong’s fiery golden eyes from myth, exuding a divine and majestic sense compared to the silver.

Moreover, under normal circumstances, gold always seemed a bit more advanced than silver.

The thought in his mind just flickered slightly, and Weiss immediately came to terms with it.

The person before him was a leader of a mysterious Extraordinary Organization; naturally, the abilities he used were stronger than those of ordinary Transcendents, wasn’t that to be expected?

Just like that, with just a meeting and a technique, Weiss had already been subdued by the demonstrated ability.

On Zhang Xiaoman’s end, from the moment he activated Spiritual Vision, he had already seen a Dark Energy Fluctuation two hundred meters ahead.

He knew that must be the location of the base, the stone marked with red lines, as mentioned by Weiss.

The two maneuvered through the jungle at high speed.

Even without the enhancement of Constitution Enhancement, Zhang Xiaoman’s physical condition had already reached the peak level of humanity.

That was naturally thanks to the Sun Flower.

It’s just a pity that this permanent increase in physical strength could not be reflected on the personal data panel.

The two soon arrived at the base, and its appearance came into close view for Zhang Xiaoman.

“Indeed, this is the source of the Mutant Beasts and Mutants…”

He looked at a corpse, observing the surrounding scenery carefully, but his heart wasn’t filled with joy, rather more solemnity prevailed.

Because the place was too small.

Although, compared to many formal laboratories, the area of this site was not much smaller, calling it small was somewhat of an exaggeration.

But considering the Mutant Beasts that appeared around the world from time to time, this place clearly seemed underwhelming.

If such was the case, there are only two possibilities.

First, what they were seeing now was not the entire face of the base, possibly a massive main body lay hidden underground, just like the Star Alliance.

Second, this place is merely a branch, and like this one, the mysterious organization might have more hidden bases around the world.

Compared to the first scenario, the second possibility seemed higher.

If there were indeed underground bases here, then the enemy would definitely not just place that stone on the surface like that.

And underground, Zhang Xiaoman’s Spiritual Vision had not detected any Dark Energy Fluctuations.

“Wuu wuu wuu…”

As he contemplated, suddenly a sound rang in his ears.

Turning his head, he saw Jiu Jiu crouching with its ears down, looking alertly in the direction of the stone.

“Eh? Can you also sense something from there?”

Zhang Xiaoman had just casually asked when Jiu Jiu immediately started chirping noisily.

The little guy had an expression full of disdain, seeming really to dislike the stone there, and while it cried out, it also pointed its paw at Weiss.

Zhang Xiaoman listened to Jiu Jiu’s chatter, occasionally glancing at Weiss, who, seeing this, couldn’t help feeling puzzled and a bit anxious.

“Jiu, jiu jiu jiu, jiu jiu jiu jiu!”

Jiu Jiu finished talking, looking very displeased. It seemed to really dislike that aura.

Zhang Xiaoman patted its head to soothe it, then turned his gaze back to Weiss. His first words made Weiss jump.

“Jiu Jiu told me you’ve been infected.”

Weiss could hardly believe that the Star Lord would suddenly say such a thing to him.

His mouth opened, a few syllables emitted from his throat, yet he didn’t know how to respond for a moment.

“Infected… Infected… I’ve been infected…”

That was the thought revolving incessantly in his mind, almost dominating his thoughts.

“What does the Star Lord mean by infection… Could it be that I will turn into something like those Mutants…?”

Just thinking of what people like Sizar looked like, Weiss could not help feeling a surge of despair. He would rather die than turn into such a monster.
