Chapter 482: Stealth Ability?
Although the two of them had experienced similar experiments in the facility, they had still undergone different tests and were injected with different solutions. It was normal for Cheng Yue and Cheng Rui to have different body constitutions now.
An hour later, the Eagle Team and the Phantom Team finally finished picking up the crystal cores. After handing the crystal cores to them, Wei Ying asked, "Jin Xuyan, now that we are done with this area, are we going back now?"
"Before going back, there is something my team needs to do," Jin Xuyan said.
The moment he finished his words, Fu Guai suddenly disappeared and rushed toward the location where the Cheng brothers were hiding.
Seeing this, Wei Ying and his team members were shocked. They knew that there was an ability-user who awakened an invincibility-type ability, but that person was a member of Gu Shaoze’s team and he was only a teenager.
How could the new member of the Phantom Team also have this ability?
Noticing their confusion and doubts, Jin Xuyan said, "Fu Guai is not a dual-type ability-user."
"If he is not a dual-type ability-user, then how could he have a wind-type ability and now the invincibility-type ability?" Xiao Han asked.
"Captain Wei, this is his secret. We have no right to tell you," Yin Yusheng replied with a smile.
Since they had said so, Wei Ying and his team members stopped asking about Fu Guai’s ability.
At the same time, Fu Guai already stood not far from the Cheng brothers. He observed them for a while, and when he didn’t notice any killing intent from them, he reappeared and pulled out his phone.
The moment he reappeared, Cheng Rui and Cheng Yue were stunned. They turned around and raised their hands, ready to get into a battle. But when they saw the man typing on his phone, they exchanged glances and waited.
When he finished typing on his phone, Fu Guai showed the screen to them.
Seeing this, Cheng Rui hesitated for a moment before he walked closer and read the words on the phone.
"Who are you? Why did you spy on my team?" he read.
"Well, my brother and I came from Pingjiang City and are looking for Lin’an City Base. We thought that your team might know the location of the base and planned to follow you," he explained.
Hearing this, Fu Guai typed on his phone again before he showed it to him.
Cheng Rui read the words and said, "It’s not that we didn’t want to ask you openly or that we had bad intentions. We didn’t know if you and your team were bad or good guys, so we decided to observe first."
While Fu Guai didn’t trust his words, he still nodded and typed another sentence.
"You can follow me and meet with my Captain first."
After reading the words, Cheng Rui and Cheng Yue nodded. Afterward, the two of them followed Fu Guai to meet the rest of the group.
The reason they followed him was not only because they wanted to ask for directions, but also because they couldn’t detect his presence even when he stood so close to them.
Logically speaking, with their current levels, they would be able to detect other ability-users’ presence even from twenty meters away. If they were unable to detect him, there were only two possibilities.
First, this person’s level was at least two levels above theirs. Second, this person’s ability allowed him to conceal his presence perfectly. Out of all the abilities they knew existed, only stealth-type ability-users were able to do this.
While they were sure that Fu Guai was a stealth-type ability-user, they reached the open field area. When they stood a few meters away from the Eagle Team and the Phantom Team, surprise flashed in their eyes the moment they saw Jin Xuyan’s face.
They never thought that they would be able to meet the legendary case of the facility.
According to the information they gathered from eavesdropping on the facility’s staff members, the person in front of them was the most successful experiment subject since the facility was established.
Unfortunately, before the facility injected the last solution and completed the experiment, the test subject escaped from the facility and disappeared.
If not for the picture they found in the confidential archive, they would never be able to recognize him. After all, this test subject looked so normal, unlike most of the test subjects in the facility.
Noticing their probing gazes, Jin Xuyan narrowed his eyes and asked, "What do you want by spying on my team?"
Hearing his words, Cheng Rui and Cheng Yue were pulled out of their thoughts.
"Comrade, we are looking for the Lin’an City Base’s location. Since your team was the first group we encountered since we came to this city, we wanted to ask you for directions," Cheng Rui explained with a smile.
"Are you coming after receiving the radio announcement?" Xiao Han asked.
Even though Cheng Rui didn’t know what radio announcement he was referring to, he still nodded and asked, "Comrade, can you show us the way?"
When they heard that the two of them were looking for a safe place to stay, the Eagle Team was delighted. After the zombie attack, their base was in need of manpower. If they could recruit more ability-users, it would help their base grow stronger.
"We are going back to the base now. Both of you can follow us," Xiao Han said.
"Then, we have to bother you and your team. Thank you," Cheng Rui replied.
Looking at his clear eyes and innocent expression, the Eagle Team members instantly had a good impression of him. While they chatted with Cheng Rui, the Phantom Team members said nothing.
After they went to their armored vehicle, Qin Luzi said, "Captain, those two men are not simple. They should be at least level two ability-users, and their abilities might not be ordinary."
Jin Xuyan nodded at his words and said, "After we return to the base, keep an eye on them."
"Understood."
