Chapter 639: I’m Only Asking for the Direction
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was bitterly cold in Russia, a northern country.
The majority of the land in Russia was still covered in ice when spring had already visited China. In fact, the leader of the White Bears, Lev s.h.a.gin, did not flee overseas as stated in the report. He was hiding on an ice sheet within Russia, deliberating about his future plans.
At the moment, the Red Sparrows were ready to ambush him on his possible escape routes. They would never let him go so easily.
s.h.a.gin’s initial plan was to develop slowly in secret and maybe even overthrow the Red Sparrows’ rule one day. However, never had he expected that his enemies were already on the move before he could prepare.
In this battle, he was a deserter. He had kept his life at the cost of sacrificing his brothers and his friends’ families. Otherwise, he would not have been alive now.
He did not feel guilty though, because the fact that he was still alive meant the possibility of revenge. Everything would be gone if he was dead.
At nightfall, s.h.a.gin’s face was glowing beside the campfire. His facial expression was gloomy and hopeful at the same time. With the Red Sparrow dictators.h.i.+p, what could he do?
Actually, in terms of names, the White Bears sounded more aggressive than the Red Sparrows, while in reality it was the reverse. Due to the same reason, the Red Sparrows was more popular among prospective members…
After a long consideration, s.h.a.gin decided to flee to Mongolia first and suspend his revenge. Just when he extinguished the fire and was about to set off, a black, giggling shadow emerged from the floor with a little girl. Lu Xiaoyu!
Lu Xiaoyu did not use any proper transport because there was no time for visa application. Hence, the easiest and most efficient way was of course Anthony.
Lu Xiaoyu took a look at her GPS and sighed in distress as if no one was around. “Wrong direction again…”
Admittedly Lu Xiaoyu had come fully prepared. She had bought a huge pile of equipment before she departed. However, there were no signals underground and she could not tell the direction under the surface either. Hence, it was perfectly natural to get lost…
s.h.a.gin was utterly confused. He did not know what was going on, a little girl of such a young age was brought out of the ground by a black human-looking shadow, and she was speaking Chinese.
Lu Xiaoyu took a glimpse at s.h.a.gin and continued studying her map. After a long while, she keyed in something in her device, expressionless, and pointed it towards s.h.a.gin. Then, a female machine voice said, “Can I ask how to go to the headquarter of the White Bears?”
“From ЛевШакин’s distress, +199!”
s.h.a.gin was stunned. Then, he replied in Russian, “Why do you need to find the White Bears?”
The translation device paused for a long moment but could not produce any sensible sentence. Impatient, Lu Xiaoyu shouted at the machine, “Speak slowly!”
“From ЛевШакин’s distress, +199!”
s.h.a.gin paused and repeated his question more slowly, “Why, do, you, need, to, find, the, White, Bears?”
He felt wronged. Why was he being yelled at by a little girl after his team was wiped out by the Red Sparrows!
He was curious, though, why a little girl who had appeared in such a creepy way was looking for the White Bears?
Lu Xiaoyu pondered and answered, “No reason. Just tell me where it is.”
s.h.a.gin shot a look at Lu Xiaoyu. He felt that this little girl must have come from a big background. Could she be a successor of a Chinese pract.i.tioner family? Would it be possible to fight the Red Sparrows using her power?
Unrealistic. Why should she help him, a lone loser? She wouldn’t get any benefits from it.
Nonetheless, hatred was the best poison for eliminating sound logic. s.h.a.gin suddenly had a plan. What interesting things might happen if he killed this little girl and blamed it on the Red Sparrows?
Yet, just when his murderous will appeared, a wall of deep sea white sand had already separated him from Lu Xiaoyu. In the next instant, Johnson sprang out of the black hole. Swarms of purple crows bombed s.h.a.gin.
Lu Xiaoyu did not try to summon Lu Shu because she did not want her secret trip to be exposed. Lu Shu would find out if his clones were summoned there!
It was totally out of s.h.a.gin’s expectation that Lu Xiaoyu, having sensed his evil plan, would take action first. At first, he thought this girl could not possibly be that strong. As a Cla.s.s B expert, it would be a joke if he could not even kill a little girl.
However, in reality, he really couldn’t…
As the purple crows swarmed towards s.h.a.gin, countless grains of deep sea white sand had launched their attack as well. Instantly smoke and sand shot up on the battlefield. s.h.a.gin’s astonishment was unspeakable. How was he… suddenly under the joint attack of two Cla.s.s B’s?!
“From ЛевШакин’s distress, +999!”
Where did they come from? Were they the little girl’s bodyguards? Which b.l.o.o.d.y family were you from? Even the head of the family would not have the luxury of having two Cla.s.s B’s as his bodyguards!
Although the materialization-type was not that strong, Johnson was still a solid Cla.s.s B!
Swarms of purple crows poured out continuously, just to cover Anthony’s attack. Their aim was very clear!
It was not Lu Xiaoyu’s ability to materialize so many purple crows, but Johnson’s. He had used it in Pattaya.
That was Lu Xiaoyu’s most powerful combat method. Anthony as the main attack force and Johnson as his cover. Her victory was almost certain when fighting a single Cla.s.s B because her opponent would have to juggle with two strong rivals…
s.h.a.gin was a metal-type Metahuman. Suddenly countless blades shot out from him towards Lu Xiaoyu, but all of them were blocked by deep sea white sand and Lu Xiaoyu herself was also dodging the attack agilely. Only a few blades. .h.i.t her, but to s.h.a.gin’s consternation, she did not bleed at all.
A few cracks formed on the layer of deep sea white sand surrounding Lu Xiaoyu’s body. However, given the strong defense of the sand, it was impossible for a few remaining blades to destroy her armor.
If there was only half of the deep sea white sand, Lu Xiaoyu would only be able to use it for either attack or defense. But then the Collection of G.o.ds had delivered the other half themselves…
Lu Xiaoyu was exasperated. She was going all-out!
The crows surrounded s.h.a.gin, trapping him inside. This time, the inner layer was exploding crows and the outer was deep sea white sand. Lu Xiaoyu watched quietly as s.h.a.gin died a slow death due to exhaustion.
“From ЛевШакин’s distress, +1000!”
Lu Xiaoyu was perplexed. “Who’s he? I’m only asking for directions!”
Distressed, she studied the map for a long while. “Where on earth are the headquarters of those White Bears? Which direction should I go now?”
She waved at Anthony, who spat out a black soul pearl from his mouth. It was the one Lu Shu fed him last time. At this moment, Anthony finally stopped his silly laugh.
After the soul pearl absorbed s.h.a.gin’s soul itself, Anthony swallowed it again. In a split second, Anthony’s power soared from mid-Cla.s.s B to the peak of Cla.s.s B!
Even Lu Shu was unaware of it!
