142: Escape for your lives

Xu Jingzhe stared at him blankly; it was hard to imagine that such terrifying energy could be contained within such a small body.

With a wave of his hand, the wind and clouds changed color.

Sitting on the shoulder of a ten-meter-tall giant, he was instantly noticeable, causing people to overlook the giant beneath him.

He wore comfortable sportswear and held a bottle of '82 Coke, sipping it slowly. This contrast made people overlook the fact that he was a Contaminant.

Casual, natural, unpretentious.

Jian shook her dizzy head; a large bump had swollen on her forehead, and her nasal bone had been broken by Xu Jingzhe. The blood could not flow during the two seconds of Time Stop, but it began to trickle out slowly after she was kicked away.

Bright and piercing.

She wiped away the nosebleed, spat out a mouthful of blood-tinged saliva, and realized there was no time to kill Xu Jingzhe now; a terrifying Contaminant had appeared.

Whether they could escape was the biggest problem; there was no time to pay attention to an ant.

The Contaminant sat on the giant's shoulder, his eyes playful. He looked at Xu Jingzhe, then at the four of them, before turning his gaze toward the distance, where the Eve Five Princesses sniper was hiding.

With just one look, the sniper, Wei, dared not move, as if she had been locked onto by a prehistoric beast.

Crackle! In the sky, dark clouds gathered, and lightning flashed and thundered.

Jian's golden hair danced wildly. Angela stood behind her, placing her hands on Jian's back to provide an amplification of her ability.

With Angela's assistance, Jian felt powerful energy coursing through her body, striking her limbs and bones. Combined with the aid of the Second-level Alloy Battle Suit, the energy was almost enough to make her body explode.

The dark clouds piled up, heavy and oppressive, as if the world were ending, and had already occupied most of the sky.

Angela's face turned pale rapidly, her large eyes silent, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

Facing a Contaminant, one could not hold back; the only option was to go all out.

Jian raised her hands high, the reddish-brown light in her eyes becoming almost tangible.

Boom! A bolt of lightning as thick as a mountain ridge appeared and disappeared within the dark clouds, its aura extremely violent.

The Contaminant sitting on the giant's shoulder looked calm, a faint smile on his lips as he sipped his Coke, waiting for Jian's strongest attack.

Below the Contaminant, all are ants; this is not just a saying.

Even if your Contaminator ability is nearly god-like, I can destroy it with one hand.

The Contaminant had transcended the category of 'human'; with a wave of his hand, he could absorb various elements from heaven and earth to create his own power of rules.

Angela's face was as pale as gold paper, having exhausted the last bit of energy in her body.

Jian had also completed the thickest, largest, and most terrifying lightning condensation in history; using a mountain ridge to describe it was not an exaggeration at all, and it was even an understatement.

Crackle! The silver mountain ridge tore through the layers of dark clouds, descending from high above. Xu Jingzhe had to squint his eyes to witness the 'miracle'.

In this space, only blinding light remained, and even sound had disappeared.

Subsequently, the light became dimmer and dimmer.

The space seemed to have frozen; Xu Jingzhe and the Eve Five Princesses did not move.

Quietly watching the Contaminant stand up and reach out.

The mountain-ridge-thick lightning was caught by him with one hand, gradually shrinking until it finally became a silver 'spike', as if it were tangible.

The entire process took no more than thirty seconds.

Where are the folded space coordinates? he asked indifferently.

Wah! Jian spat out a large mouthful of blood and collapsed, unable to get up. Her eyes rolled back, and her body twitched incessantly; she could die at any moment.

No one spoke.

Is it that you don't know, or that you won't say? He toyed with the silver 'spike' in his hand, looking at Xu Jingzhe with an inquiring air.

Xu Jingzhe met his gaze, the pressure on him feeling like a mountain.

His knees felt like they were being drilled by an electric drill, on the verge of shattering at any moment. The Contaminant wanted him to submit, to kneel and worship him.

Blood was oozing from every pore on his body, and his golden pollution core was vibrating wildly, continuously pumping energy into his body.

Forget it. It's rare for a genius to emerge in the Pollution Zone; what would be the point of me killing you? The Contaminant shook his head, his gaze shifting lightly to Avril.

Avril's Second-level Alloy Battle Suit had already been activated, enveloping her entire body.

She said coldly: If you dare to kill us, you won't be able to leave either. Outside Blue Star, several satellites have already locked onto you!

With a single missile strike, a thousand miles will be razed to the ground; you cannot escape!

The Contaminant frowned and looked up at the sky. His gaze seemed to pierce through the layers of dark clouds, seeing the high altitude ten thousand meters above.

After a long while, he lowered his head and looked at Avril, saying: Are you threatening me?

Avril was struck as if by lightning and flew hundreds of meters away. Her Second-level Alloy Battle Suit cracked, and she coughed up large mouthfuls of blood.

Boom! After falling to the ground, she stood up, her eyes filled with an intense, unyielding fighting spirit, and she actually took the initiative to charge toward the Contaminant.

At the same time, thick tree roots rose from the ground behind her, like an earth dragon turning over. They plunged into the yellow sand and immediately burst out, rising and falling, moving forward with her.

Avril leaped up and stood on the middle tree root, her long hair dancing, her gaze cold and sharp.

In a high-level hall in the main city of Eve City, where countless scientific researchers were present, screens flickered with images from various places. On the largest LCD screen, several satellites were focused on this location; the Contaminant's fluctuations were too powerful, and they were captured by satellites outside Blue Star the moment he made a move.

On the satellites, missiles had already locked onto this area and could be launched at any time. As long as the Contaminant made a move to kill the Eve Five Princesses, nothing would grow within a thousand miles.

They wanted to contact the Eve Five Princesses, but the magnetic fields and elements were too chaotic, and they could not receive a signal.

But! He was a Contaminant! How could he be afraid of the threat of missiles!!

He waved his hand lightly at Avril. Avril flew high into the air, her body like a kite with a broken string. Her Second-level Alloy Battle Suit shattered, turning into a pile of crystals that fell not far from Xu Jingzhe.

Beep! A red button marked with a serial number was pressed by a finger as delicate as a scallion. Her face was like thousand-year frost as she watched the flickering images on the LCD screen.

The signal interference was too severe; even satellites were ineffective.

The flickering frequency became faster and faster. With a zzt sound, the screen turned into static, falling like snowflakes.

In the high-level hall, there was silence. The Eve Five Princesses, the pride of the younger generation...

The Contaminant looked up. The silver 'spike' in his hand became more solid, gradually lengthening into a silver 'javelin'. Electric arcs flickered around the javelin, illuminating his palm so it looked crystalline.

Counting the time silently in his heart, the Contaminant landed lightly. Then, holding the silver 'javelin' at a slant, he began to run, his speed gradually increasing.

But this increasing speed was just like an ordinary person competing in a hundred-meter sprint.

Whoosh! The long spear cut through the sky.

Boom! The ground collapsed, tornadoes arose, yellow sand filled the sky, and an area of a hundred miles was shrouded. The energy here reached a shocking level, terrifying and incomparable.

Xu Jingzhe's whole body was almost burning as he fled desperately. For the first time, the system forcibly took control of his body, his speed soaring directly to 1019 meters per second, his face twisting.

A soft tree root wrapped around his waist; Avril had grabbed this straw of hope.

Xu Jingzhe couldn't care about that anymore; he didn't dare to delay for even a second.
