Chapter 203 - 203: Capturing Cang Jian
Bang! As Ye Xingchen pulled the trigger, one of the team members who was running at high speed was shot in the leg. That team member instantly fell to the ground. The bullet didn’t penetrate his leg, but it sank into his flesh and blood spurted out.
Ye Xingchen deliberately hit his leg to see if these people were as invulnerable as Cang Jian or Zhao Hao. However, it seemed that he had thought too much. Just like the team member he shot in the heart last time, these people’s physical fitness was still extreme, but they were far from being as strong as Cang Jian.
“Sure enough, even the same kind of superpower has its own differences.” This also confirmed his guess.
This made things easier. Ye Xingchen didn’t plan to kill these people, it would be best if he could capture them alive.
The injured man’s teammates fled with him as fast as they could, but with someone hurt, their speed was greatly reduced. In a short while, three people were knocked down to the ground.
On the other side, Cang Jian and the others had already sneaked up to the mountainside below the fortress. They were waiting for an opportunity to break into the fortress. They had expected that as long as they could charge in, no one would be able to stop them.
Unfortunately, any plan would be useless in front of the “prophecy dog” Little Black. Any plan would be seen through. Ye Xingchen had already arranged for Mo Qj to wait halfway up the mountain.
“Captain, we have to hurry up. Three of our people on the other side are already injured. It’s very dangerous.”
“Ye Xingchen and the others are too careless. They haven’t come out yet” Cang Jian thought to himself, but he still refused to retreat.
“Captain, look, they’re opening the door!” Everyone was overjoyed. They stared at the steel door that was slowly opening. They were ready to charge in and kill Ye Xingchen and the others for revenge.
However, before the door could fully open, round glowing spheres suddenly filled the air around them.
When they listened carefully, there was also a sizzling sound like an electric current. That was right, these were Mo Qi’s balls of lightning.
Above their heads, Mo Qi coldly looked at Cang Jian and the others. Suddenly, she clenched her right hand, and the lightning balls around Cang Jian and the others quickly flew toward them. They were hit by the lightning balls and screamed miserably. In the blink of an eye, they fainted. The whole process happened in a flash.
The speed was so fast that they couldn’t react in time. It had to be said that Mo Qi’s lightning balls were very effective against these people. No matter how strong was one’s physical fitness, once the lightning balls hit their nervous system, one would faint from the shock. In serious cases, they would die on the spot!
If Mo Qi hadn’t controlled the current intensity of the lightning balls, these people would have been electrocuted to death.
The price of tonight’s operation was very high. Those team members had gambled with their lives to create an opportunity for Cang Jian. Unfortunately, it was useless in the end.
Ye Xingchen’s plan was to capture them alive. Then, they brought Cang Jian and the others back to the fortress.
The next morning, Cang Jian and the others woke up. They vaguely heard someone talking.
“These superpowered people are so strong. Normal people would die if they were touched by that lightning ball. But when they woke up, they were unscathed.”
“Cang Jian, I’ll give you a chance to live. Tell me the situation of your faction, how many people there are, and what kind of weapons they have.” Ye Xingchen came toward Cang Jian and sat on the chair, looking at him coldly.
Cang Jian slowly opened his eyes. The moment he looked at Ye Xingchen, his eyes flashed with uncontrollable anger. “You are Ye Xingchen? Pah! You fcking killed my brother, Cang Feng. I’ll fight you to the death. If you have the ability, let go of me and I’ll fight you one-on-one!” Cang Jian rushed in front of Ye Xingchen and roared madly at Ye Xingchen. However, he was bound by handcuffs and shackles. He could only struggle bitterly and stop half a meter away from Ye Xingchen. It was obvious that his brother’s death was a great shock to him.
“When your leader, Gao Qiwen, sent the two of them to spy here, they should have prepared to die. You wanted to kill me, but you failed. Now you’re the victim? It’s ridiculous. I never thought of provoking you. You’re the ones who wanted to provoke me.” Ye Xingchen was amused by the way Can Jian spoke. Who was the victim here?
Hearing Ye Xingchen’s words, Cang Jian fell silent, but his anger didn’t disappear.
‘You can kill me or cut me up if you want. But you want me to give you information about our base?! Dream on!”
“There’s no rush. I’ll give you time to think about it.” As Ye Xingchen spoke, he took out a French baguette from the dimensional space and chewed on it as he walked out of the room.
Cang Jian’s eyes widened when he saw this scene. A piece of bread appeared out of thin air. What kind of ability was this? Creating food? Cang Jian shook his head. “No, I’ve never heard of this ability before. Could it be an alternate dimension that stores food?”
Before the apocalypse, Cang Jian was a bookworm. The inter-spatial ring in the famous novel Breaking Through the Heavens had a similar function and could store things!
“I see. I was wondering how such a fortress could have tens of billions of resources. Now it makes sense.” After learning about Ye Xingchen’s ability, his eyes lit up, but when he thought about his current predicament, his eyes dimmed.
Ye Xingchen would come over every day to try to convince him, but he was gradually losing his patience. The other members of Cang Jian’s team were a group of tough men who were not afraid of death. Ye Xingchen admired them for this, but unfortunately, they were enemies.
After being locked up and interrogated for more than ten days, Cang Jian was miserable beyond recognition, but he still refused to give up information on Gao Qiwen. What he didn’t know was that Ye Xingchen had already taken his phone and pretended that he was chatting with Gao Qiwen.
Cang Jian and the others all had high-level passwords on their phones, but coincidentally, there was once a shop owner in Ye Xingchen’s fortress who had a mobile phone shop, so it was a piece of cake.
On the thirteenth day after Cang Jian was captured, Ye Xingchen sent a message to Gao Qiwen saying that he had found a way to escape from the locked room and could take down the safety fortress.
Gao Qiwen looked at the voice message sent by Cang Jian on his phone and played it over and over again. Ye Xingchen even used voice-changing software to change his voice to Cang Jian’s.
Initially, when Gao Qiwen saw a text message on the phone, he suspected it was a trap. After all, it had been so long since they had lost contact with Cang Jian. It was difficult to tell if the message was real or fake. Anyone would be suspicious.
Later, Ye Xingchen sent a voice message to Gao Qiwen. Ye Xingchen kept urging Gao Qiwen to lead the team to attack Ye Xingchen’s fortress, saying that the opportunity to occupy Ye Xingchen’s fortress had arrived and that they should hurry up and bring their troops over. Otherwise, Cang Jian’s team would not be able to do it alone..
