Chapter 296: Chapter 274: Yang Ming: What Did You Say? Ability Users? Are You Sure?

In the game world, Red Leaf Base.

Lu Feng appeared on top of the main building from before, looking out at the dense horde of zombies outside.

This was a horde that had just been lured over.

"Boss, there’s another Speed Mutant Zombie over there!" a survivor immediately shouted, pointing toward the zombie horde.

Lu Feng looked over and saw a mutant zombie rapidly approaching.

Without hesitating, he summoned and equipped his Mecha weapon, then leaped from the rooftop, landing directly amidst the horde of zombies.

The zombies swarmed him from all sides.

He ignored them, barreling straight through to the Speed Mutant Zombie and instantly killing it with a few laser blasts.

[Congratulations! You have killed a mutant zombie and gained 600 EXP!]

Lu Feng recalled that killing a Speed Mutant Zombie used to grant 400 EXP.

Now, it was already up to 600 EXP.

Clearly, it wasn’t just the regular zombies that were slowly getting stronger—the mutant ones were strengthening even faster.

Then, Lu Feng’s gaze was drawn to the corpse of the Speed Mutant Zombie.

A ray of light hovered over the body. It had finally dropped something.

Lu Feng nonchalantly collected the item into his backpack space and read the description:

[This is a Special Speed Ability Crystal Stone. Using it grants a mutated ability, allowing the user to move with extreme speed.

Special Effect: When the ability is active, you can use your speed to briefly run on walls!]

Another Speed Crystal Stone.

Lu Feng already had six Speed Crystal Stones in his backpack.

"Boss, two more Speed Mutant Zombies have been spotted to the north," a voice came through the walkie-talkie.

Lu Feng didn’t get tangled up with the surrounding zombies. He broke away from the horde and headed north.

Before long, he spotted the two Speed Mutant Zombies.

He was, of course, deliberately seeking out Speed Mutant Zombies.

Hada Dakun’s arrogance had given him an idea: create a few ability users in the real world and have them infiltrate and assassinate him.

And so, he was now farming Speed Ability Crystal Stones.

In the real world, as long as one mastered the speed ability, they could essentially dodge bullets, even if the ordinary people in Myanmar were armed with guns.

With absolute speed, as long as you weren’t surrounded by a large group of enemies firing at you, the notion of a bullet being fast and accurate within a few steps was meaningless.

An ordinary person wouldn’t even be able to aim properly at a Speed Ability User.

Moreover, a Speed Ability User could be as swift as the wind when carrying out a mission and just as fast when retreating, striking fear into everyone.

The only problem was that since entering the game, despite having the people from Qingfeng Base find quite a few Speed Mutant Zombies for him, the drop rate was extremely low. So far, he had only managed to get six Speed Ability Crystal Stones.

Soon, Lu Feng killed the two Speed Mutant Zombies.

[Congratulations! You have killed a mutant zombie and gained 600 EXP!]

[Congratulations! You have killed...]

After he killed these two mutant zombies, another Speed Ability Crystal Stone actually dropped.

One of them didn’t drop anything.

After stashing the Speed Ability Crystal Stone, Lu Feng logged out of the game and reappeared in Wind Manor.

He had just returned to the real world when a call came from Black Snake. "President Lu, Brother Ming’s flight is about to land."

"Okay. Come to Wind Manor and pick me up," Lu Feng ordered.

Not long after, Black Snake arrived at the manor and drove Lu Feng to the Xuanfeng Alliance’s Wind Capital International Airport.

Yang Ming was indeed on his way.

Lu Feng had specifically asked his cousin to come.

He wanted to form a special unit in the real world composed of Speed Ability Users, and that unit would certainly need a leader. He hadn’t considered anyone from the Xuanfeng Alliance.

After all, there was a communication barrier, and they would need a translator. When carrying out missions, a translation error could cause all sorts of problems.

Most importantly, for a position like this, he wanted someone close to him to take charge.

Therefore, besides his cousin, whom he could trust unconditionally, he would have to use electronic leashes on anyone else—even people like Ah Pao and Chen Bo—to trust them.

But he didn’t want to use electronic leashes to control people like Ah Pao and Chen Bo. At the very least, he still believed in loyalty and friendship and didn’t want to destroy something so precious.

So, it could only be his cousin. It had to be his cousin.

As for the ones carrying out the missions, he planned to use locals from the Xuanfeng Alliance. He had already asked Red Lizard to start selecting candidates.

He wanted people with no children, no families, and who were absolutely loyal to him.

Right now, such people could only be found among the special soldiers led by Red Lizard. This was because Red Lizard had already used similar criteria when selecting them, and he had been indoctrinating them for a long time. This special unit was absolutely loyal to him.

But even so, before these chosen individuals were allowed to consume a Special Ability Crystal Stone, they would also need to be fitted with electronic leashes.

Firstly, it was a precaution.

Once they became Speed Ability Users, the threat they posed would increase. If anything went wrong, the damage they could cause in the real world would be immense.

Secondly, it was a failsafe. If they were unlucky enough to fall into enemy hands during a mission, he would do everything possible to rescue them. But if a rescue was impossible, they would have to rely on the electronic leashes.

Whether to prevent them from being tortured by the enemy or to protect secrets, you always need a last resort, don’t you?

Lu Feng soon arrived at the airport and picked up Yang Ming.

As soon as he got in the car, Yang Ming said, "Xiaofeng, Qingxue and Lin Yao need to handle the handover at the beauty salon. You know the network connected to it is nothing to scoff at—the men behind those wealthy ladies and socialites are very powerful. They need to arrange for a successor first."

"I see," Lu Feng nodded.

Once they reached Wind Manor, Lu Feng dismissed Black Snake and sat down with Yang Ming. "Cousin," he said, "I asked you to come this time because there’s a position I need you to take charge of. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with it."

Hearing this, Yang Ming quickly replied, "Xiaofeng, just tell me. Whatever it is, I’ll make sure it gets done. To be honest, I’ve grown tired of Tianzhou City. I’m actually more envious of Chen Bo."

"No matter how well I do in Tianzhou City, even if everyone calls me Brother Ming, my status in the underworld is still a step below the top. Plus, back home, you have to be so careful about everything."

"But it’s different helping you here in the Xuanfeng Alliance. This is your territory. I’d much rather contribute here."

Lu Feng nodded and got straight to the point. "Cousin, I’m planning to form a unit of special ability soldiers here in the Xuanfeng Alliance—a team of what most people would call metahumans."

"Uh, metahumans?" Yang Ming was stunned by Lu Feng’s words. He opened his mouth, but nothing came out.

’Is my cousin joking with me?’

’How could metahumans possibly exist? They’re just something you see in movies.’

"Xiaofeng, this is..." Yang Ming started to say something, but he was at a loss for words.

But in the next moment, as he looked at Lu Feng, he witnessed an unbelievable sight and his jaw dropped in shock.

The Lu Feng standing before him suddenly dissolved into a blur and vanished from sight.

When Lu Feng reappeared, he was some distance away. Then, he saw Lu Feng move again—a flicker of a shadow—and suddenly he was standing right in front of him once more.

His speed was so fast the naked eye couldn’t follow.

"Xiaofeng, th-this is..." Yang Ming was completely dumbfounded, his lips trembling so much he couldn’t form a coherent sentence.

Lu Feng just waved his hand. "Cousin, I know it’s a bit hard to believe, but you saw it with your own eyes..."
