Chapter 591: Blue Sprites’ Queen

Jiang Liushi stayed silent, not giving an answer right away. He was thinking over Shen Hai’s words carefully. ‘According to Shen Hai, Genesis was created due to a scientific research. What could they possibly have found? How did they attract so many influential figures to their side? Doomsday, the Black Hole, the plague, and the blue liquids…All of those findings turned the world upside down…’ It was indeed quite difficult for Jiang Liushi to imagine that such events would take place.
‘Maybe…these are all related to other stars…’ At that thought, Jiang Liushi thought about Starseed. Everything he had accomplished to this very moment was due to Starseed. However, the same question had been lingering in his mind from the very beginning, what was Starseed?
One thing was for certain, and an undeniable fact, Starseed was Jiang Liushi’s foundation.
‘Is it possible that there’s a connection between that research and Starseed? What if it’s something that threatens their plans…?’
Jiang Liushi gave it a lot of thought as his understanding of the world had taken a total change.
“Jiang Liushi, what are your thoughts? Currently, there are 11 Advocates, that it is to say the people behind Genesis. If you agree to join us, you will become the 12th Advocate!” said Shen Hai slowly.
He believed that this offer was tempting enough for Jiang Liushi. The stronger one was, the stronger their thirst for life would be. That’s why it was hard to not give in the temptation of immortality.
“11 Advocates? Genesis is only controlled by 11 people?” said Jiang Liushi in a low voice.
Suddenly, a roaring sound came from the tour bus followed by a devastating shockwave, sweeping through the area in front of it. At the same time, the MCV moved in reverse quickly.
The speed of the semi-translucent wave was several times faster than the speed of sound. Thus, the water in the air was liquefied, forming a white vortex.
Jiang Liushi had utilized the Air Cannons!
Although he did not give a verbal reply, he ordered Ying to express his response!
“An ungrateful wretch!” Shen Hai was frustrated.
In the blink of an eye, an extremely tall man next to Shen Hai rushed in front of him. The tall man let out a cry, and his all of his muscles bulged. Then, the ground in front of him suddenly lifted, forming a three meters rock wall to shield them from the air cannons’ terrifying air-current. However, the air-current was so powerful that the rock wall was blasted apart in an instant, and the tall man behind was hit on the chest directly.
The tall man let out an anguished cry, while his body was sent flying. Most of his ribs, if not all, were broken and he coughed mouthfuls of blood mixed with parts of internal organs. If he were an ordinary man, he would have instantly died. Unexpectedly, the tall man struggled to stand up with a fierce expression.
“He is called Zhan Chui, one of my old members. Before I left Northern Jiangsu, he was almost a level-2 paranormal. I didn’t expect that he also joined Shen Hai, becoming an infected person…” said Xiang Xuehai. She felt sad because almost all her powerful members were infected by Shen Hai.
It was obvious that all of them were under Shen Hai’s control. Moreover, the strength of her members had improved greatly.
Upon hearing his name, Zhan Chui was stunned. He stared at Xiang Xuehai, but his eyes were emanating killing intent. His chest was still bleeding. Although he was strong, his body had been badly damaged by the air cannons. However, since he was under Shen Hai’s total control, Zhan Chui disregarded his wounds. Once Shen Hai stopped controlling him, Zhan Chui would die.
At that moment, eight people behind Zhan Chui took out their guns. They were carrying various types of firearms such as Type 95 and AK-47 assault rifles. One of the infection’s perks was that those people had become more proficient in handling firearms.
“Get on quickly!” ordered Jiang Liushi. He and his sister could cope with the hail of bullets, but Ran Xiyu and Li Yuxin were unable to protect themselves. Suddenly, they heard an innocent and cute sound. Then, they saw a pink ball rushing directly to the dense hail of bullets! It was Luoluo!
Jiang Liushi was astounded by the scene. Luoluo increased in size, turning into a large round ball, and used its body to block all the bullets!
“Luoluo! Be careful!” shouted Jiang Liushi. He never expected that Luoluo would use its own body to protect them.
Countless bullets were poured on Luoluo’s body. Unexpectedly, none of them penetrated its body. Instead, they were bounced back, flying in all directions. Some of them even penetrated two paranormals’ heads. Naturally, they collapsed on the ground lifelessly; even the blue sprites could not help them.
“Luoluo, when did you acquire such a wonderful ability?” Jiang Liushi was surprised. Although Jiang Liushi knew that Luoluo could bring miracles, it had never crossed his mind that it could block bullets without getting hurt.
As Luoluo was praised, it purred proudly, as if hoping to be praised more. Jiang Liushi did not know whether to laugh or cry. He just sighed and smiled.
“Probably the blue liquid has helped Luoluo evolve again. After all, Luoluo has consumed a big amount of it. It’s not strange at all,” said Li Yuxin while running to the tour bus.
“Luoluo, you are excellent! I will reward you with a chicken leg tonight,” said Jiang Zhuying. Then, she jumped up, her body emitting white-blue sparks. She was about to release an attack of 100,000 volts!
The sparks morphed into terrifyingly giant electric pythons, which were dancing around her body. The atmosphere was electrically charged, and it was if a sun was rising on the level. The force of that attack was more powerful and overbearing than the air cannons.
Shen Hai did not have any other strong members to act as his shield. Suddenly, all the paranormals ran in every direction, but still, some of them were hit by the electric light. Others fell on the ground directly, while some unlucky fellows were even burned to a crisp.
However, as Jiang Zhuying’s attack was about to hit Shen Hai, they all heard a booming sound. They, they saw a flying black disk rushing to Shen Hai’s side. Then, he jumped on the flying disk and stirred it to fly high on the sky,
“What’s this?” Jiang Liushi was shocked. The flying disk did not have any power equipment. It looked like a special alloy in the shape of a disk. How could it fly?
Generally speaking, flying weapons could only keep flying for a few minutes.
“It’s telekinesis! His mental energy is too strong, so he can use it to manipulate the flying disk. That’s why the disk can still fly while he’s standing on it,” explained Ran Xiyu.
Jiang Liushi was stunned. He was ignorant of psychic powers’ attributes and ways to use them.
“Shen Hai is just a psychic paranormal. He could attack us due to his control over the powerful infected paranormals. As long as our attacks land on him, we can defeat him!” said Ran Xiyu., thinking she had seen through Shen Hai’s plan.
“You think I’m not strong enough?” Shen Hai smiled. “I started evolving 10 years ago. Since then, I’ve mastered my special abilities. During the past 10 years, I spent lots of money to improve my strength. How could you know about my power? You became paranormals just after doomsday, so what makes you think that stand a chance fighting against me? You are too naive! Jiang Liushi, I still appreciate you very much. Since you don’t want to join us, you should become one of my kids. In this way, you can serve me all the time. Do you know that the blue sprites I have carefully cultivated also have a queen? We have nurtured it for more than half a century, and it finally came to life after the end of the world. I could not find a suitable vessel for her, but that changed after meeting you. Your mechanical ability is perfect, so I decided to let you become her vessel!”
When Shen Hai finished talking, his aura changed. He was like a dark king descending from the sky. The whole space seemed to be under his control.
Suddenly, Jiang Liushi had an ominous feeling. He felt as if his soul had suddenly separated from his body. It was hard for him to control his body.
Mental pressure! It was a psychic domain! Shen Hai was using his psychic power fill the surrounding space so that he could form a closed force field. Ran Xiyu could also do that, but her energy was too weak compared with him.
At that moment, Ran Xiyu struggled to line her own area, hoping to resist Shen Hai’s attack. However, she failed. Meanwhile, Jiang Liushi sensed a strong life and death crisis. If he lost control over his body, Shen Hai would easily manipulate him like a puppet.
“Brother Jiang, I have tried my best, but I can’t win. His power is unfathomable,” said Ran Xiyu with beads of sweat rolling down her forehead.
Ran Xiyu had improved her strength to the current level within a mere year, so she simply could not resist Shen Hai’s accumulated and honed power.
At that moment, Jiang Liushi saw a cluster of blue light floating before Shen Hai. It was shining brightly.
Upon seeing it, an image appeared in Jiang Liushi’s mind. He saw a huge blue star in the universe, whose size was dozens of times larger than the mass of the sun. It was a super monster at the end of its life. The blue cluster of light in Shen Hai’s hands strikingly resembled the giant blue star, but being reduced and compressed countless times.
‘Is this…the blue sprites’ queen?’
