Chapter 648: Unpredictable

Over on the northern squad's side, they too had run into their enemies.

In a place like Jiangning Plaza, which only spans five kilometers, skirmishes are practically unavoidable.

Especially since the Moon of Corrosion had the Grey Crows guiding them.

As a result, before Zhuo Feiyu and the others could find the Moon of Corrosion, it was actually the Moon of Corrosion who spotted them first.

The enemies on this end were just two people.

One was a burly man with a fierce, square face and short hair, wearing tacky black-rimmed glasses.

The other was a thug with spiky yellow hair, wielding a metal baseball bat.

Based on the intel they had received earlier, Zhuo Feiyu and the team quickly identified their opponents.

"We're facing Kamiya Gedou and Akutsu Shinichiro on our side!"

Zhuo Feiyu felt a bit of relief in his heart.

Because according to the intel, these two hadn’t demonstrated particularly terrifying combat strength during the first battle.

At least, compared to Daiku Kai Enzu whom Wu Shifang had encountered, these two didn’t seem nearly as powerful.

Back at the Operations Command Center, Commander Zhu Zheng was analyzing the reports sent in by the two squads.

“Five of the thirteen Moon of Corrosion members have now made an appearance. That means eight are still unaccounted for.”

“Even excluding non-combatants, there should still be at least six combat-type superhumans.”

Zhu Zheng crossed his arms, resting his chin on his fingers, eyes coldly fixed on the giant screen showing all the superhumans' live feeds.

“Now it all depends on what’s going on with Zhang Yi’s side!”

What was unexpected was that in the southeast direction where Zhang Yi was stationed, they had been waiting for quite a while—

But not a single member of the Moon of Corrosion had shown up.

Zhang Yi had already set up his rifle and was lying on the rooftop, aiming at the surrounding area. He was ready to fire the moment an enemy appeared.

He was stationed on the edge of Jiangning Plaza, where the fog had minimal interference.

He could still observe an area within a 300-meter radius.

However, since the place had just been bombarded, the ground still radiated high heat—

So the infrared system was useless.

After absorbing part of Yuan Kongye’s power, all of Zhang Yi’s abilities had seen a massive boost.

Even an ordinary sniper rifle became a powerful weapon against superhumans in his hands!

Let alone Thunderstrike, a weapon customized for him by Lu Keran using her Mechanized Control ability—

An ultra-advanced firearm perfectly tailored to him!

Thunderstrike + Precision Shot + Sacred Silver Bullets.

Even a Delta-level superhuman could be taken out in one shot.

On either side of him, Hua Hua and Liang Yue stayed alert, ready to guard against sneak attacks.

Hua Hua was crouched on the balcony, amber eyes scanning the area like a radar.

Its predatory instincts allowed it to detect anything that entered the vicinity in a flash.

As for Chen Xiaoxiao and Peng Li, the two close friends were waiting cautiously at the base of the building.

With enemies already encountered by both Wu Shifang and Zhuo Feiyu, they were being extra careful.

They all believed it was just a matter of time before enemies showed up.

But time ticked by, and although the sound of battle was already coming through their comms, not even the slightest shift had occurred in the nearby fog.

“Hm? What the h*ll is going on?”

Zhang Yi frowned.

Logically, since the Moon of Corrosion had powerful scouting abilities, they should’ve known about their presence long ago.

So why hadn’t they made a move yet?

Unless—

Zhang Yi’s pupils contracted as a chilling possibility came to mind.

Did they have some kind of power… that could see through his strength?

Were they holding back out of fear and caution?

“What kind of ability could they possibly have?”

Zhang Yi muttered.

He became increasingly alert. The enemy was unpredictable—and that made them terrifying.

This is what it’s like in the world of superhumans.

Let your guard down for even a second, and you might lose your life to some bizarre and unknown power.

Because every superhuman mutation was a roll of the dice.

All kinds of strange and mysterious abilities could emerge.

Even someone like Zhang Yi—a top-tier Delta-level superhuman—couldn't guarantee he wouldn’t be killed by a low-level opponent.

So he turned to Liang Yue and Hua Hua and said,

“Stay sharp! The moment anything seems off, our number one priority is to protect our own lives!”

Seeing Zhang Yi this cautious, both Liang Yue and Hua Hua became visibly more serious.

Hua Hua immediately transformed into its giant form, letting out a low, alert growl while scanning left and right with its huge head,

Nervous that an ambush could come from any direction at any moment.

Meanwhile, on the Moon of Corrosion’s side—

Thanks to a tip from Shinguuji Seiichiro, Phoenixin Ren also noticed the blind spot on the map.

He rubbed his chin and murmured,

“Mayumi’s divination couldn’t be wrong. That means, between the eastern and southern zones, no enemies are present.”

“So what kind of trick are they planning?”

Phoenixin wore a playful expression.

He hated not having control over the situation.

But right now, he had no clue what Jiangnan District’s objective was.

At that moment, Tsukamoto Nobunaga, who hadn’t moved out yet, walked over.

“No need to overthink it. I’ll just go take a look!”

He turned toward Takeuchi Mayumi.

“After all, Mayumi said today’s fortune favors me in the southeast!”

Phoenixin chuckled, “That’s true. If Mayumi said it, then it must be right. Nobunaga, the southeast is all yours. Go see what game they’re playing.”

He waved his hand and said to the couple, Takizawa Takashi and Wagatsuma Nanako,

“Takizawa, Nanako, go with Nobunaga.”

“Yes, boss.”

Takizawa and Nanako had no objections. They followed the laid-back Nobunaga toward the southeast.

The Grey Crow perched on his shoulder led the way.

Back on the battlefield, the two sides clashed without much talk—just a fight, plain and simple!

Wu Shifang’s squad was the first to engage with Daiku Kai Enzu and his group of three,

And their battle ignited the flames of war!

Both the Operations Command Center and the Celestial Squad had a clear view of the unfolding combat.

Even the always prideful Deng Shentong had set aside his usual laid-back attitude and was now focused on the live feed.

Prideful didn’t mean arrogant.

Deng Shentong’s confidence stemmed from the fact that he never slacked off on any mission.

Otherwise, how could he have dominated the Blizzard City Heaven List for three straight months?

To borrow the words of a great man:

“Strategically underestimate your enemy; tactically treat them with full seriousness.”

Only then can one accomplish great things.

Until they had fully gauged the true depth of the Moon of Corrosion’s power—

Even if all three Outer City squads had to be sacrificed,

The Celestial Squad would not make a move.

Everything was for one goal—final victory.
