A Night of Desperation-Chapter 242: Action 240

“It’s really… too exaggerated… I didn’t expect that just temporarily helping out at No. 34, I would encounter such interesting people and events…” Masked Man relaxed and threw away the remote control in his hand.

“I have a premonition, Yu Hong. We will meet again in the future…”

“No need for the future.”

Yu Hong instantly crossed the distance and appeared in front of him.

He raised his leg for a high kick.

Boom!!

Just then, a red light shone from within the man’s body. The red light rapidly expanded and turned into a fireball.

Another human bomb!

Yu Hong quickly retracted his leg, stepping back, but still got engulfed by the flames.

Seconds later, when the firelight dissipated, he was shrouded in a white light, only his hair was charred black by the explosion.

In that instant, he had condensed a layer of water to cover his entire body, forming a protective water film.

But…

“My clothes…”

Dada dada…

Suddenly, a faint sound of propellers came from above.

Yu Hong tore off his scorched outer clothes, revealing his unscathed upper body, and looked up.

Bang!!

In an instant, he bent his knees and leaped upwards, throwing a fierce punch at the ceiling above.

The ceiling shattered on impact, falling apart, as the inner layer of steel and concrete was also smashed to smithereens.

One floor was forcefully penetrated by his leap, and he jumped up.

Above was a firearm shooting range. Yu Hong didn’t stop, continuing upwards.

Boom boom boom!!

After three consecutive times, he finally saw the sky of Aurora City illuminated by white searchlights.

He jumped onto the rooftop.

The first thing Yu Hong saw was Xin Zhilei, who had already boarded a large helicopter and was a distance off the ground.

The helicopter was grey-green with various runes inscribed on it. Two white missiles were mounted on the front and were now turning towards the rooftop.

“Kill him.” Xin Zhilei indifferently glanced at Yu Hong, then turned back to continue looking at the box containing her son.

If it weren’t for Yu Hong ruining the Black Blood People’s massacre plan, she wouldn’t have needed to flee!

But now, it was all too late! The deed was done, and staying was only a waste of effort and time. Better to leave.

Swoosh.

A missile launched from the front of the helicopter, its tail on fire, curving towards Yu Hong.

Boom!!!

The missile was exceedingly fast, and Yu Hong only managed to dodge a bit to the side before being engulfed by an even more exaggerated white flame.

The entire rooftop was completely covered by a sea of white fire, the ground collapsed, and the building shook slightly, with similarly flaming black smoke rolling out of the windows all around the top floor.

“Is he dead?”

“He’s not dead.” The burly, metal-masked man on the plane replied, “The previous explosion couldn’t kill that man, so naturally, this one couldn’t either.”

“He’s tough,” Xin Zhilei said coldly.

“No matter, now that we know his identity and the location of his camp, once we safely arrive at headquarters, using bait to lure the Black Disaster over will make killing him much easier than here. This is Aurora City, where many methods can’t be applied.” The burly-masked man consoled.

“And that Lin Yiyi… That group ruined my plans…” Xin Zhilei gritted her teeth, “The Black Blood People can’t resolve the situation;I need to apply for higher-level Black Disaster bait!”

“Let’s talk after we get back. The Cold Disaster is imminent;we need to prepare for it as well.” The burly-masked man said indifferently.

Xin Zhilei sat on the plane, looking at the flame-engulfed rooftop, her eyes filled with hatred. If it weren’t for Yu Hong’s intervention, the Black Blood People could have killed everyone present.

But there are no what-ifs in this world!

“You’re dead for sure, Yu Hong!” Xin Zhilei took one last look at the rooftop, her hand pressing firmly on top of her son’s box.

Whoosh!

At that moment.

Right in the center of the rooftop, a circle of transparent airflow turned into a ring, spreading in all directions, blowing away the flames.

Yu Hong at the center was revealed.

His body blazed with white flames reaching the sky, his arms spread wide, palms facing upward, each suspending a black liquid sphere.

“To think you can escape from my grasp with such a short distance…” He looked up at the helicopter, his gaze meeting directly with Xin Zhilei’s eyes.

“Too naive…”

He murmured softly.

Bang!

With a sudden move, he bent down and thrust his hands into the ground.

A large chunk of gray-white concrete was dug up.

The concrete, as large as a sedan, was lifted high up by him, and the black water in his palms dyed the concrete completely gray-black like ink.

Gathering strength, he bent down.

Yu Hong’s white flames surged even more fiercely for a moment.

Boom!!!

In an instant, his muscles twisted and erupted, hurling the chunk of concrete.

The gray-black concrete disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye, turning into a gray-black blur, flying over hundreds of meters in the air, and under the stunned gaze of Xin Zhilei and others, it hit the helicopter on the side.

Boom!!

The helicopter was smashed and thrown a distance away, hitting a transparent glass shield.

The shield shattered, with a gap broken through it, the Black Fog poured in, and the helicopter, following its momentum, flew out of the Aurora City shield, plummeting down into the dark land beyond.

Patting his hands, Yu Hong dissipated the white flames on his body and walked to the edge of the building.

“It’s a pity, I didn’t have time to find a way to gather water.”

But he suspected that the Dissolving Leeches here were most likely lured by Xin Zhilei.

After all, Aurora City had been continually using methods to drive away and eliminate the Black Disaster. Without any incentive to do so, the Dissolving Leeches shouldn’t be desperately converging and invading the underground rivers within the city.

They also needed time to revive, but here, it seemed like the Dissolving Leeches were inexhaustible.

Endless, unceasing.

Whoosh.

Yu Hong jumped straight off the top of the building, landing lightly on the ground in a manner defying the laws of physics, right in front of Chen Yaofeng’s rapidly arriving team.

The elite task force of the joint military were startled by his sudden descent from the sky, and when they realized it was him, they all relaxed, only to then realize that he had apparently just jumped from the rooftop…

Instantly a group of people were shocked, staring blankly, unable to react for a moment.

“Yu Hong, where are they!?” Chen Yaofeng demanded, not bothering with pleasantries.

“They got on the plane, but I knocked it down with a rock. It’s now crashed outside on the ground, you need to send people to search. Be careful not to provoke the Black Disaster.” Yu Hong quickly replied.

“??”

What does ‘knocked down with a rock’ mean??

“You mean to say Xin Zhilei, as well as so many people from the investigation department, aren’t here??” Chen Yaofeng couldn’t comprehend.

“I don’t know, as I came over I just focused on rushing in. Anyone in my way was killed. I didn’t see anyone else.” Yu Hong responded.

“This is my duty, I invited you to take action, I will bear all responsibilities. What about the water source??” Chen Yaofeng urgently asked.

“It wasn’t found. It was too late, by the time I got there she had already flown some distance on the plane.” Yu Hong shook his head. “But this vendetta is my own doing…”

“Sorry, now is not the time to argue about whose responsibility it is.” Yan Yuqiu quickly said from the side. “We’ve just received a notification;Commissioner Chen Xiguang has announced Xin Zhilei’s betrayal to the entire city, revealing Chen Yaofeng’s findings about her covert activities and secret identity within the Eternal Life Association. According to the announcement… all our actions are directly ordered and overseen by Commissioner Chen Xiguang.”

“…” Chen Yaofeng’s eyes reddened instantly. He understood why his father had done this.

“Minister Chen, don’t let down the First Commissioner’s instruction and high hopes…” Zhan Yongwen also stepped out of the vehicle then, lamenting.

“First, let’s go look for the crash site. We’ll talk after finding the wreckage. While a crash means certain death for ordinary people, with the Eternal Life Association, it’s still wise to be cautious.” Yu Hong reminded them.

Seeing the actions of the Chen family, he finally gained a bit of confidence in this dark world.

At least he saw that when faced with natural disasters and darkness, there were still some humans who, in search of hope and righteousness, were willing to take on responsibilities without reservation.

In such a desperate world, there were selfish high-level figures like Xin Zhilei, as well as high-level figures like Chen Xiguang who looked after the overall situation.

The multifaceted nature of humanity was laid bare at this moment.

Like Chen Xiguang, Yu Hong did not believe he was truly an altruistic good person, but at this very moment, his actions were undoubtedly meant to clear the burdens for the younger generations, clearing the obstacles.

“I’ll dispatch people to search immediately!” Chen Yaofeng snapped back into action. “We must find a solution for the water source, otherwise…”

A group of people hastily dispatched elite enhanced individuals, forming teams, heading out of the city.

Yu Hong followed them, leading the way out of the city, rushing towards the helicopter’s crash site.

Minutes later.

Outside the city, in a pitch-black area by an outpost, the wreckage of an armed helicopter was burning, emitting thick smoke.

But the people inside had long since vanished.

“He’s not dead, as expected.” Yu Hong said, his expression unsurprised. “But even if not dead, unless Xin Zhilei also has strong self-healing capabilities as an enhanced individual, she must be seriously injured.”

“Can you track the route they left by?” Accompanying him was the elite Three-eyed Bird Troop designated by Chen Yaofeng.

The one speaking was the Three-eyed Bird Troop commander, Yu Penghu.

“I’m not good at tracking, that’s what you need to do.” Yu Hong shook his head.

“Let’s get to work, brothers!” Yu Penghu did not say more, waving his hand to command his men to move forward.

Whoo!

Just then, a black streak suddenly burst from the wreckage and lunged at one of the soldiers.

The black streak approached at high speed, about to strike its target.

Unexpectedly, a white streak also flew in extremely rapidly from the side, hitting it accurately.

Boom!!

The black streak flew sideways, fell to the ground, and revealed its true form.

It was yet another of the Black Blood People, composed entirely of sticky fluid!

“You guys continue, I’ll deal with this.”

Yu Hong’s right palm was lowered, the Condensing Water Technique escalating with the surge of Inner Qi.

Suddenly, he lunged forward, turning into a phantom, and appeared in front of the Black Blood Person in the blink of an eye.

One palm.

Boom!

The Condensing Water Technique was fully activated.

The Black Blood Person took a hit to the chest, tried to retaliate, but it was too late.

A hole exploded in its chest, countless water molecules inside were rapidly extracted, dried up, and the creature shrunk rapidly like a deflating balloon, shrinking, and then collapsing with a clatter, like a model made of sand.

Yu Hong retracted his hand, closed his eyes, and sensed the surrounding Red Value auras. Now aware of this creature’s fatal weakness, he naturally would not waste time as before.

“Continue your search, I’ll clear the nearby Black Disaster.”

His figure flashed, and he vanished in an instant.

Leaving Yu Penghu and the others looking at each other, with numb bodies and a strong sense of security flooding their hearts.

“Strong… too strong!!”

“Mr. Yu should be considered one of the strongest humans now, right?!”

“Definitely!”

“Is this level of power… really attainable by enhanced individuals? That white light…”

“Get to work! Move fast! We can’t let Mr. Yu look down on us!!” Yu Penghu exclaimed loudly.

Roar!!

Suddenly, from afar came the cries of the Multi-eyed Birds.

Then came a series of loud thuds as heavy objects hit the ground, sending shivers down everyone’s spines.

“Mr. Yu… from now on, he’s my idol!!” Yu Penghu felt a rush of excitement, slapping a bare tree hard.

“Captain, you said the same thing when you met Xu Fan last time.” one of the soldiers muttered.

“That’s different, this time it’s my own family!” Yu Penghu laughed.
