Chapter 751: Playing with Them in the Palm of His Hand
Why do I have such an uneasy feeling? Jing Shu, who feared death, watched the scene unfold while urgently mobilizing a large number of Hulks to encircle them stealthily. She had even assigned tasks to these dozens of individuals and secretly set up various protective measures. After sizing up the opponent’s weapons, she finally breathed a sigh of relief—no rocket launchers, just some larger-caliber firearms.
However, she curiously noted that each person carried homemade grenades, and their waists bulged ominously... Jing Shu narrowed her eyes slightly. When she looked at the three vehicles of people again, she was no longer just looking at people.
Instead, she was looking at the valuable modified vehicles, at the valuable firearms and weapons...
The only thing to guard against now was whether there were any individuals with special abilities among them.
No matter what, one had to play it safe.
An extra layer of black mud suddenly appeared on the ground, invisible and unnoticed by anyone.
「Elsewhere.」
The elegant woman opened the original liquid. She had people bring seaweed and red earthworms, then carefully diluted the substance further before adding it. Even a tiny amount, diluted a hundredfold, grew at a visible rate once added.
"It’s true." The woman nodded, very satisfied.
Factory Director Wang also quietly breathed a sigh of relief. "Then you should take the original liquid and leave quickly," he said, his tone conciliatory. "Once Xinlan’s support team arrives, it will be troublesome if both sides engage in a fierce battle... Rest assured, we will absolutely not stop you. We will do nothing..."
Wang Gui just wanted to send these people away quickly! As long as he could save his own life and protect Jing Shu, his precious ’panda,’ that would be enough!
"You’re right, absolutely right. We need to leave quickly," the woman scoffed, glancing at her watch.
Factory Director Wang quickly nodded, raising his hands and stepping back several paces, his intention perfectly clear.
"However..." The woman raised her other hand, which held a shotgun, and pointed it at Factory Director Wang, who trembled with fear. The gun slowly moved aside, and the woman then pointed it at Jing Shu. "Original Liquid Person, you’ll need to come with us. Did you think we put on such a grand display just for a bit of original liquid? Heh."
"What are you talking about!" Factory Director Wang exclaimed, shocked.
"Why do you think I’ve been lurking by your side these past few months? It was all to wait for this very moment—to find an opportunity to capture the real Original Liquid Person and provide a constant source of food for our wild men. The real goose that lays the golden eggs is right here. Don’t worry, Miss Jing Shu, we will take good *care* of *you*."
Jing Shu, who had been hiding in the darkness, slowly emerged. She pulled Factory Director Wang behind her and smiled. "I hadn’t expected you were after me. It seems the news has indeed leaked. Is your superior one of the eight from the Inspection Team that went to Wu City?"
The woman smiled noncommittally.
"No, you can’t take Miss Jing Shu! She can save countless people!" Factory Director Wang grew frantic, trying to rush forward, but Jing Shu gently pushed him back into a Hulk’s mouth, which sealed him completely inside.
"Factory Director Wang, stay inside for a while. I’ll take care of this."
Jing Shu’s voice was flat, devoid of emotion. In that instant, many thoughts raced through her mind. Images of the eight Inspection Team members flashed quickly, but the image of the Xinlan Inspection Team lingered for several seconds; he was the most suspicious.
"Miss Jing Shu, come with us quietly. Or do you really believe these mucus creatures behind you can protect you? The Hulk is indeed a decent protective tool. Our people have tested it; it’s very effective against attacks like firearms and bullets, practically impervious. But it can’t protect you from explosive weapons like Hand Grenades, can it?" The woman laughed, a hint of triumph in her voice.
They had already thoroughly investigated their target.
Jing Shu’s expression shifted to one of sudden realization. "So, when the Hulks were attacked multiple times in Wu City, your group was responsible?"
"After all, someone like you—going out with super bulletproof-level creatures and a motorhome equipped with a Chasing Gun—is like an impenetrable egg. We had to devise a plan. Your entourage is more extravagant, and your caution more excessive, than even our wealthiest citizen," the woman said, waving her hand dismissively. Behind her, her people pulled out Hand Grenades and homemade explosives.
"Come with us, or we’ll bomb you until you’re half-dead and disabled, then take you away. Your choice." The woman glanced at her watch. She didn’t want to use the Hand Grenades; they were precious resources. If she could avoid using them, she would. Intimidation was the best approach.
"I see. I choose the third option." Jing Shu snapped her fingers. Suddenly, countless Black Shadows surged from all directions, advancing relentlessly. Even more Black Shadows burst forth from beneath the feet of the woman’s group.
It happened so fast that ordinary people couldn’t react.
The ground beneath them had caved in.
Chaos erupted instantly. Screams filled the air, but the lookouts stationed outside vanished without even a chance to cry out.
In that instant, Jing Shu was swallowed into Xiao Lu’s mouth, hidden behind the legion of Hulks. The Hulks had already formed layered defensive walls, tightly surrounding Xiao Lu to protect her from potential Hand Grenades and bullets.
The Hulks’ role in this battle was clearly defensive.
Offense was left to the rotten mermaids lurking in the shadows.
In reality, these people had no chance to act. As soon as the ground collapsed into a huge pit, countless rotten mermaids surged upward. Jing Shu had assigned tasks much earlier; several rotten mermaids instantly locked onto and controlled their targets.
Jing Shu had a good reason for this. She had ordered the rotten mermaids to start digging tunnels from behind much earlier. Devouring earth was a specialty of the rotten mermaids, and their speed was incredible, but it still required time. This was why Jing Shu had been stalling for time with the woman.
Secondly, she had to strike decisively and quickly, preventing them from reacting and using their weapons. After all, these items were now as good as Jing Shu’s, and she couldn’t let them be wasted.
"Leave that woman. Do as you please with the others. Spit out all the weapons." Sensing the situation outside was under control, Jing Shu issued her command.
What should have been a cataclysmic battle ended before it even truly began, overwhelmed by the sheer might of the Dark Creatures. The large, terrifyingly powerful rotten mermaids secured a decisive advantage, leaving their opponents unable to make so much as a ripple.
Poor Factory Director Wang, still believing Jing Shu was suffering a horrific ordeal outside, was hiding and sobbing uncontrollably within the Hulk’s body.
All the weapons and Hand Grenades were regurgitated by the rotten mermaids. Jing Shu then ordered the Hulks to swallow every item.
From the muddy pit, the rotten mermaids lifted up the woman.
The woman stared in disbelief at everything unfolding, her eyes filled with profound fear.
