Boom!!!
The deafening sound pierced Ye Wumeng's ears, causing a sharp pain in his eardrums. The violent shockwave made his clothes flap wildly, forcing him to raise his hand to shield himself.
The air was thick with the acrid smell of gunpowder, and Ye Wumeng's gaze locked onto the direction of the explosion, his brows furrowing tightly.
How could it be there?
In the area where the three candidates stood on the high platform!
A thick cloud of smoke enveloped that spot, making it nearly impossible for anyone to see what was happening within.
Yet Ye Wumeng managed to catch a glimpse—though not with his naked eye, but through the system known as the Transparent Blue Panel!
However, An Huanxin's weak system, the Transparent Blue Panel, had vanished!
Wait, who is that?
Outside the smoke, a robust figure sat in a chair, wearing a hood that obscured their face. A scruffy beard adorned their chin, and they were hastily moving away from the scene.
Ye Wumeng felt a sense of familiarity and quickly began to pursue that person.
There was something odd about them; he had to keep up!
"Sir, please do not leave your seat until the investigation is complete," a staff member from Bonfire Group blocked his path.
Tsk, trouble right after joining.
After all, Ye Wumeng had only recently joined, and Xu Duan hadn’t issued him a standard uniform yet. It was understandable that he was mistaken for someone else, but now the situation was critical—every second counted!
"Step aside! Don't hinder my investigation!"
Ye Wumeng glared at the staff member who had created distance between them and swiftly tossed his credentials into their hands before racing off again.
The Bonfire Group member froze for a moment before quickly flipping through the credentials. Upon seeing the photo and details, they shuddered in realization.
It was an investigator from the Vice Commander’s office!
Damn it!
Tsk, how can they run so fast?
Ye Wumeng frowned deeply as he watched the figure ahead continue to pull away from him. He then pulled out a tube of orange-yellow potion from his storage.
This was the Leg Strengthening Potion extracted from the three First Class Species Undead corpses last night.
Due to the low cost and simplicity of the materials, he had taken the opportunity to brew some while he was idle. He never expected it would come in handy now!
He immediately opened the vial and gulped it down. His eyes narrowed slightly as a powerful force began to surge through his leg muscles, like scalding magma rapidly spreading through his veins and meridians.
Now this was what a potion should be!
He marveled at the potency of the potion, recalling how he had previously scoffed at the inferior potions he had consumed. What had he been drinking before? Just garbage. But what kind of effects could such a powerful potion yield in the future?
Never mind that; it was time to focus.
Without further thought, he kicked off with his left leg, the immense strength allowing him to press down into the dry earth, kicking up a cloud of dust behind him. With the potion's enhancement, he closed the distance between himself and the fleeing figure rapidly.
This distance should be just about right.
Ye Wumeng's gaze was locked onto the back of the person fleeing in front of him when suddenly, system information popped up.
【Identification: Human? Undead?】
【Threat Level: Dangerously Lethal】
【Combat Power:】
【Remarks: A strange creature; its strength seems suppressed by something, only able to exert its most primal abilities.】
What was this?
Looking at the Combat Power indicator and threat level displayed above, Ye Wumeng slowed his pace to match that of this creature. His own Combat Power was barely sufficient for a head-on confrontation.
Originally, he had planned to capture it and trade it with Xu Duan for some blood to make potions, but seeing its Combat Power now, Ye Wumeng quickly dismissed that idea, shifting from capturing it to merely following it.
After all, since he had already pursued it this far, he might as well find out what kind of creature it was. As long as he didn’t provoke it, he could always retreat if necessary.
With his mind made up, Ye Wumeng began to control his speed.
After about a minute of pursuit, they reached the Refugee Zone, where Ye Wumeng noticed something odd. This creature seemed to follow a predetermined path; not only did it not try to shake him off, but it also ignored him entirely.
How strange.
Just then, the creature suddenly turned into a narrow alleyway. Ye Wumeng raised an eyebrow and quickly followed suit, only to find that the creature had vanished without a trace!
How is that possible!
Ye Wumeng furrowed his brows slightly, tightening his grip as the Mechanical Glove projected a Blue Light Screen in front of him.
This was a map of the surrounding area. On the map, amidst a cluster of shanties, one house stood out prominently—a slightly larger building.
Anlius Apothecary!
Ye Wumeng stroked his chin, deep in thought. Since he couldn't find anything else, why not take a chance and look for that old fellow Anlius?
With that thought in mind, he sent a message to Lu Hao through his Mechanical Glove.
"Lu Hao, if I don't arrive in ten minutes, you should inform Xu Duan that I ran into trouble while investigating Anlius and am currently at Anlius Apothecary, using my name."
"Is something wrong, Store Manager?"
"It's nothing serious; just do as I say."
After closing the communication, he stored the glove away and adjusted his demeanor. Just like when he usually went to find him, he naturally held a bottle of Erguotou as he refreshed himself at the door of Anlius Apothecary.
He looked at the familiar entrance before him. At this moment, the door was tightly shut, and there wasn't a sound coming from inside.
It was just like the first time he had come here—the only difference being that it was night then and now it was daytime.
Holding the bottle of Erguotou, he quickly walked to the door with a smile on his face and gently knocked on it with his knuckles.
"Hahaha, Mr. Anlius, I'm here to see you again!"
After speaking, Ye Wumeng stood there waiting.
The silence inside was unusual; it seemed there truly wasn't anyone home.
Tsk, should I just push the door open like usual?
As Ye Wumeng pondered this in his mind, the door slowly creaked open before him.
Anlius's aged face peeked through the crack in the door, and upon seeing Ye Wumeng, an expression of shock spread across his features.
"What happened?!"
