Apocalypse: The Supporting Actress Made a Comeback-Chapter 769 - 410 Special Combat Armor
Chapter 769: 410 Special Combat Armor
Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang had initially thought that the attack on Luyun County was a conspiracy between Zhao Qiankun and Bai Zhengyi, as both Zhao Qiankun and Bai Zhengyi wanted to eliminate each other and absorb each other’s power. Unfortunately, both men were ambitious. Therefore, they planned to blend in with the Corpse Hunters attacking Luyun County, using the Invisibility Jade Pendant to conceal their presence while staying close to Zhao Qiankun, waiting for an opportunity to eliminate him.
However, they gradually realized that Bai Yi, who was supposed to lead the assault on Zhao Qiankun, had disappeared without a trace, unbeknownst to anyone, and they had no idea where he had gone. Simultaneously, Bai Ye had a vague feeling that Bai Yi had already been killed.
Thus, only Zhao Qiankun was left to be dealt with. However, what happened next shocked them, as Zhao Qiankun himself was also being plotted against! All of his trusted aides disappeared, and the SEP-4 potion used by the White Wolf Mercenary Corps to help Level 3 Peak superpower users advance to Level 4 had been tampered with by Zhao Qiankun. Yet, it seemed someone else had intervened, resulting in the five Level 4 superpower users who used SEP-4 to successfully advance without any issues, catching Zhao Qiankun completely off-guard.
Despite being surrounded, Zhao Qiankun’s strength was formidable; he was not someone ordinary people could handle. Alone, he faced five Level 4 superpower users and twenty Level 3 superpower users without falling behind.
Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang witnessed this scene and, even though they both had a distaste for Zhao Qiankun, they had to admit that Zhao Qiankun was indeed very powerful, no wonder he had been able to develop the Qiankun Mercenary Group to its current scale. Regrettably, his plan to plot against Bai Zhengyi and Bai Yi and absorb the White Wolf Mercenary Corps now backfired.
The mastermind behind all this was still unknown to Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang. Nevertheless, both believed that this person was definitely a high-ranking member of the Qiankun Mercenary Group, possibly even one of Zhao Qiankun’s confidants! Otherwise, how could this person manage to manipulate both Zhao Qiankun and Bai Yi so thoroughly?
At this thought, Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang felt a chill run down their spines. The hidden mastermind was excessively ruthless! Although Zhao Qiankun was indulgent in his desires for women, he was absolutely faultless when it came to his close aides, a fact they had figured out during their days at the Beishi Base.
Unfortunately, it seemed that the person was not content with remaining under Zhao Qiankun and had other plans.
They couldn’t help but look at Zhao Qiankun with sympathy; however, their sympathy didn’t extend to helping him. Zhao Qiankun was selfish and cold-blooded, and he didn’t hesitate to kill thousands for his own benefit. If it weren’t for their luck and strength at the beginning, they would have been killed by Zhao Qiankun long ago; how could they possibly help him now!
No matter who had designed Zhao Qiankun’s downfall, it was his own doing, and there was nothing much to say about it. Fang Yuyang and Bai Ye simply watched from the sidelines, observing the unfolding drama.
Just then, some people rushed over from a distance. Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang instinctively looked over, carefully making out that these people were Corpse Hunters, looking panicked as if they were being chased by something.
Startled, Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang lightly leapt onto a nearby small building not far away, standing on the rooftop to watch the direction from which the people were running. From there, they could see that a group of zombies was chasing these people.
Luyun County, although small, still encompassed several hundred square kilometers. Even if 50,000 Corpse Hunters came to attack, they wouldn’t amount to much once dispersed.
When they first arrived in Luyun County, a mishap forced everyone to split up. The situation was too chaotic, and they had only kept an eye on Zhao Qiankun, thus failing to notice Bai Yi’s disappearance. Even the other Corpse Hunters were nowhere to be found.
Now, suddenly seeing a group of dozens of Corpse Hunters running panickedly toward them, Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang were surprised but also secretly relieved—they had finally seen other Corpse Hunters!
However, the two did not reveal themselves. With so few people around, their secret could easily be exposed if they appeared. Moreover, disguised as second-level superpower users, they wouldn’t be much help even if they did appear; instead, it was better to continue using their invisibility, seizing the opportunity to help when no one was watching.
