Chapter 1353: Chapter 323: The Word "Self-Defense" Is No Longer Pure

"A joyful life is always so fleeting."

Walking to a secluded corner, Zhong Hong took out the satellite phone and dialed the only number.

"Hello, this is Lin Fan from the Sunshine Shelter in Huang City," Lin Fan introduced himself as usual.

"Brother Lin, it’s me, Zhong Hong."

Zhong Hong’s way of addressing Lin Fan had changed; calling him "brother" was a submission to a strong figure and also reflected her reverence towards Lin Fan.

"What’s up?" Lin Fan asked.

Zhong Hong said, "I’m currently at the temporary gathering place of the Mutants. Most of the perfect mutants are here. We can’t contact the headquarters, and the perfect mutant Black Demon has just stepped up to seize power. I want to ask if we need to eliminate them?"

"Black Demon? That’s an unfamiliar name. I only know Cui Xiaofei the Red Demon. Oh, right, I forgot to tell you something. I’ve already destroyed the Mutant headquarters, which explains why you can’t contact them." Lin Fan remembered that he hadn’t yet informed her about the headquarters.

"So that’s it. When I found I couldn’t contact the headquarters and thought about the situation with Cui Xiaofei, it seemed evident," Zhong Hong realized.

"Quite clever."

"Haha, it was easy to deduce. But I never imagined Cui Xiaofei could perform so convincingly in front of me, secretly meeting with Brother Lin all along."

Zhong Hong thought of her past actions, intentionally trying to get closer to Cui Xiaofei, even disguising the contact with Lin Fan as accidental, definitely not an intentional ploy to gather intelligence, which amused her a bit.

"Indeed, but I truly didn’t expect him to have such guts, risking so much just to locate the headquarters." Lin Fan genuinely admired Cui Xiaofei’s boldness.

If it were him, he might never have thought of this method.

Zhong Hong was filled with admiration upon receiving the confirmed news. "Impressive, truly impressive."

"By the way, aside from you and Cui Xiaofei, Zhou Yi is also one of my people," Lin Fan mentioned.

Zhong Hong was greatly shocked. "Good heavens, that’s truly remarkable. The Mutant Organization actually has three mutants collaborating with him."

In hindsight, it made sense why the headquarters was eliminated. With so many people on his side, it was impossible not to find out its location.

Subsequently, Zhong Hong informed Lin Fan of the gathering place’s location and hung up the phone.

...

Zhong Hong, pretending to use the bathroom, returned inside.

She heard Black Demon still going on eloquently, envisioning the future for everyone present, fully displaying his charisma. Perhaps thinking his charm could enthrall the crowd.

The returning Zhong Hong didn’t interrupt Black Demon’s speech, went to the liquor cabinet, took a glass, poured some red wine, and gently swirled it as she watched Black Demon enthusiastically speak.

Happiness is often brief.

She hoped Black Demon would cherish these moments.

To be honest, she thought Black Demon would be well-suited for pyramid schemes during peacetime, talking non-stop from start to finish without repeating a single word.

She genuinely admired Black Demon’s ability.

Other mutants around yielded to Black Demon’s power, even if displeased, and dared not voice objections. They could only raise their heads and swallow their discontent, listening to Black Demon’s endless nonsense.

Suddenly.

A loud rumbling sound came from the distant sky, interrupting Black Demon’s speech.

"Damn it, what the fuck is going on now?"

Black Demon flared up angrily.

"What I hate most is being interrupted during my passionate speeches."

The enraged Black Demon silenced the nearby Awakeners, all feeling uneasy but unable to voice their displeasure. He was strong, formidable, holding all the authority; his words were final.

Fortunately, the rumbling outside soon subsided.

A mutant glanced outside, it was desolate, not a soul in sight.

"Nothing, there’s nothing out there."

Hearing this, no one took the incident to heart.

Only Zhong Hong, sipping her red wine, knew that he had arrived.

Sadly, they knew nothing.

"Alright, let’s continue listening to me." Black Demon waved his hand, restoring silence to the scene before he resumed his speech. He relished the current attention from everyone, every gaze upon him, what a thrill.

At this moment.

Lin Fan walked in, everyone had their backs to him, while the eloquently speaking Black Demon, head held high and arms wide open, seemed to embrace the entire sky, not noticing him.

Only Zhong Hong saw Lin Fan, then looked at the group of perfect mutants. Truly, what good fellows, he’s already walked in, and you didn’t even react.

Unbelievable.

Lin Fan walked to Zhong Hong’s side, smiled, signaling her not to speak hastily, and then sat nearby, curious to hear what Black Demon was saying.

"Do we need the headquarters’ leadership?" Black Demon, naturally rebellious, felt the strongest as the best perfect mutant, not needing to consider anyone.

Even the headquarters, so what? Cui Xiaofei was done for, making him the strongest perfect mutant.

"No, we don’t."

"No, we don’t."

The intimidated mutants couldn’t say anything and could only echo Black Demon’s words.

Yes, right, no doubt, whatever you say is right, we’ll just cooperate with you well.
