Chapter 526: Crazed Absorbtion

'Do the people in Huaxia Region know something about the Black Hole? What do they know? Are they aware of the Black Light's existence?' thought Jiang Liushi.
Wan Yiling caught the subtle change on Jiang Liushi's face, and she smiled. "Captain Jiang, you don't have to give me an answer right away. You can think about it carefully until tomorrow afternoon before I leave."
Ji Xiangming, who was a few meters away from them, started admiring Jiang Liushi from the bottom of his heart. How could he not? Han Yuan's secretary had invited Jiang Liushi with open arms, which meant that the Shi Ying Squad's strength had been affirmed.
"They're just a survivors' team, but they're on par with our War Squad!" whispered Ji Xiangming. That could be regarded as the best evaluation for a survivors' team.
In Ji Xiangming's the Shi Ying Squad and War Squad were the most exceptional teams. But for him, the most powerful team was that consisted of soldiers; the army. The Jiangming Safety Zone had a Division with more than 10,000 people, equipped with all kinds of great modern weapons. A survivors' team could not be compared with an army at all.
Jiang Liushi just nodded. "We'll consider it."
He wanted to absorb as much Black Light as he could, and cooperating with the military was a feasible method to accomplish that.
"Excellent, Captain Jiang." Wan Yiling smiled after hearing Jiang Liushi's words.
"I have to deal with some other matters. The tricky part has been resolved, so you should deal with the aftermath. Leaning up has nothing to do with me," said Jiang Liushi.
Lu Tianyu felt ashamed as what Jiang Liushi said was indeed the truth. If not for Jiang Liushi's team, the War Squad would have suffered great losses. Lu Tianyu's 'heroic' team had benefitted greatly from a survivors' team's assistance! Although he felt ashamed, Lu Tianyu tried to console himself by thinking that Jiang Liushi's team was inferior to a real army. In this terrible post-apocalyptic world, only the military could be considered the most powerful force…
After that, the minibus departed and was driven to a relatively secluded place. Jiang Liushi wanted for his team to rest while the minibus was still in the process of upgrading. After hunting the two mutant beasts controlled by the Black Hole and absorbing the Black Light, the progress to access Starseed's main panel had reached 20%.
'Starseed, scan for sources of Black Light. We'll continue absorbing as much as we can!' Ordered Jiang Liushi in his mind. Then, Starseed started scanning for locations with Black Light fluctuations.
"Found it!" whispered Jiang Liushi in excitement.
In addition to the coal plant and the auto repair factory, a mutant beast was lurking in the residential area…
While various troops were attacking everywhere, Jiang Liushi was driving the minibus around and participated wherever an intense battle was taking place. The Shi Ying Squad's battles were direct and violent; they would kill every mutant beast by striking it with the minibus and devastating thunderbolts.
Everyone who witnessed their battles, be it, ordinary residents or soldiers, they were all left slack-jawed. At the same time, they felt reverence for that team, as after every battle they would leave and assist in other battlefronts. In their minds, the Shi Ying Squad was benevolent as they would offer their help when they were all in deep distress.
Contrary to their thoughts, Jiang Liushi was not only helping to rescue them, but most importantly, he was rushing to the places with mutant beasts carrying Black Light in their blood. In his mind, what he was killing was not mutant beasts, but growing sources of Black Light.
'21%..'
'22%...'
'23%...'
Jiang Liushi was getting even more excited with the continuous changes in the progress bar. 'Absorb! We have to absorb more!'
"Feifei, look! That's Captain Jiang's minibus, right?" In a building, a beautiful girl with an excellent figure shouted suddenly. Behind her, a girl with a delicate appearance and a cold temperament was cleaning her gun carefully.
"Really? Where?" Wei Feifei asked in surprise. She knew that Jiang Liushi was in the Safety Zone, but she didn't know where they were. After arriving in the Safety Zone, Wei Feifei had not the chance to meet Jiang Liushi and his team, so she felt quite happy when she heard that Peach had spotted them.
At that moment, a young man sitting on a sofa spoke. "Jiang Liushi? Is he the powerful paranormal you've been mentioning all this time? You also said that his teammates are exceptionally powerful, right!?"
"Yes!" Peach nodded. "You can't imagine how cool Captain Jiang is. The fact that he dared to go out in such a complex situation is proof in itself. I guess the military has recognized his team's worth…"
The young man frowned. "Peach, you sure have a rich imagination. The military has many people in its midst, how could the higher-ups allow a survivors' team to take part in subjugating the threat?"
"But, Captain Jiang and his teammates are very powerful," said Peach innocently. Jiang Liushi was her idol.
Wei Feifei nodded in agreement. "I think so too."
The young man felt quite unhappy with the two girls' evaluation. He wanted to see who that Captain Jiang was and how powerful he was. Unfortunately, when the young man came close to the window, he saw nothing.
"Peach, it seemed that you're wrong. I don't see anyone on the street," said the young man.
Peach was stunned. "How is that possible!?"
Only a few seconds had passed, and many mutant birds were flying around, so how could they have left that fast?
When Peach looked out the window again, the street below was indeed empty. Wei Feifei also came to the window and was disappointed.
"It's a pity. Captain Jiang's speed is extremely fast," said Peach in disappointment.
"You must have seen wrong. If not, they should be running for their lives. It's quite dangerous outside, especially for a survivors' team. There is no way they can assist. But fear not, the military has sent out the War Squad!" said the young man while shaking his head.
"Fortunately, General Han Yuan is a benevolent and mighty figure. As long as we join him, we will have the chance to contribute and earn more merits," added the young man confidently.
After all, only some powerful paranormals could join General Han's troops after a series of tests. The young man, Peach and Wei Feifei had passed the tests so they could live in that advanced dormitory. Although it was only a dormitory, it was well-decorated with lots of furniture and close to the core area of the Safety Zone. Compared to the rooms where they lived before, it was the gap between slums and high-end apartments. If their contribution was outstanding, it was likely for them to become officers.
However, the two girls didn't share the young man's views. They were looking out of the intensely, in the hope of seeing the minibus again.
A sharp glint flashed through the young man's eyes. If he didn't value Wei Feifei and Peach's strength, he wouldn't want to cooperate with them. Moreover, they were both beautiful, and he had already regarded them as the meat on his chopping board. Sooner or later, he would conquer them. As a result, when he saw the two beauties longing to meet Jiang Liushi again, he felt annoyed.
'When I, Tang Cangyun, become a heavyweight figure in the military, you won't ignore me anymore!' thought Tang Cangyun with a dejected expression on his face.
