245: Clues to leave

Qin Shilei searched inside the building for a while before finding the entrance to the underground Supermarket, which was obscured by some debris.

He knocked on the Supermarket's iron door, and then a faint sound of footsteps was heard, followed by several low voices discussing.

"Do you think it's that big shot from earlier?"

"How could it be? He's probably been eaten to bits by now."

"Don't make a sound, it might be some Other World beast."

"Are you stupid? Would an Other World beast be so polite as to knock?"

Qin Shilei had no choice but to speak up, saying, "Is Jiang Shudie inside? It's me."

The Supermarket's iron door slowly opened a small crack. The people inside, realizing there was no danger other than Qin Shilei, opened the door halfway.

Jiang Shudie urged, "Come in quickly."

Qin Shilei flashed into the Supermarket.

"You're still alive?" Cuntou said with a surprised look.

Qin Shilei retorted unhappily, "I wouldn't die even if you did. Disappointed, aren't you?"

"I spoke too quickly and said the wrong thing. I hope you, esteemed sir, won't take offense." Cuntou was also quick to adapt, immediately apologizing sincerely.

Qin Shilei didn't intend to bother with such a minor character. He turned to Jiang Shudie and said, "Take me to see your leader."

"Okay." Jiang Shudie turned and walked further into the Supermarket.

Qin Shilei followed her, observing his surroundings.

The Supermarket was a mess; the food must have been eaten or hidden. Dozens of people were sitting or standing around.

Qin Shilei found their leader, Jie Mingchen, a middle-aged man in his thirties, in an office inside the Supermarket.

After a brief introduction, Qin Shilei went straight to the point, asking, "Head Jie, what is the clue to leaving Dechuan City?"

Through Jiang Shudie's narration, Jie Mingchen knew that Qin Shilei was very powerful, so he didn't put on any airs.

He answered readily, "According to the observations and conjectures of most survivors in our city, our city should have a strange connection with an Other World or a small world."

"To leave, we either wait for that world to completely merge with our Blue Star, at which point we can freely enter and exit that Other World and leave this city."

"Because of the merger, there are three singularities in Dechuan City where the two spaces intersect. If we can simultaneously destroy those three singularities with powerful force, we can leave here."

"To survive until the Other World completely merges with Blue Star, join us! There's strength in numbers, and we can surely regain our freedom."

His best method was to wait until the spatial barrier outside Dechuan City disappeared, then he could leave.

"Singularities?" Qin Shilei questioned, "How do you know there are singularities here, and how did you learn that by simultaneously breaking three singularities, you can leave?"

Jie Mingchen spread his hands and explained, "This was told by a professor. I don't know how reliable it is. It's just that there are indeed three very special places in the city."

Experts? Professors?

Qin Shilei always felt it was a bit unreliable.

But he still decided to visit those places tomorrow.

After making arrangements with the other party, Qin Shilei left the Supermarket and found a clean room upstairs to rest.

The next morning, Qin Shilei was awakened by a clap of thunder.

He took the two Shadow Leopards guarding him and headed straight to the rooftop to continue cultivating by drawing lightning.

Perhaps because that Other World was merging with Blue Star here, the thunderstorms continued intermittently without stopping.

Qin Shilei also repeated the process of cultivating, then recovering his vitality, and then cultivating again.

It wasn't until the afternoon that the dark clouds finally dispersed a little, the thunder gradually stopped, and the rain turned into a drizzle.

"I hope this rain lasts longer, and the thunder gets more intense."

Qin Shilei hadn't forgotten that his main purpose for coming out this time was to use natural lightning to comprehend the power of lightning, hoping to advance to the Golden Realm through this.

He turned and walked down to the Supermarket below.

Jie Mingchen had been waiting in the Supermarket for most of the day. As soon as he saw Qin Shilei appear, he immediately went up to him, "Mr. Qin, let's go."

For this trip, he brought a total of five subordinates, one of whom was Jiang Shudie, whom Qin Shilei knew.

The others were three men and one woman, all barely reaching the Bronze Realm.

A young man named Thin Monkey led the way.

Jie Mingchen and his group followed behind, cautiously walking towards the east.

Qin Shilei saw them stop to observe every few steps, making their progress very slow, so he suggested, "Head Jie, how about we two ride my pets and hurry over?"

Jie Mingchen was somewhat tempted and was about to agree when a buzzing sound suddenly came from ahead.

Immediately afterward, a large group of dark figures appeared in everyone's line of sight.

Qin Shilei, with his excellent eyesight, immediately saw that they were a swarm of hornets the size of sparrows.

At this moment, the swarm of hornets was chasing a large eagle.

Through the Eye of Illusion Breaking Purple, Qin Shilei discovered that the large eagle also had a cultivation of Silver Two-star, and its speed was not much slower than Xiaoqiang's.

However, it was currently being chased in disarray by a large swarm of hornets, and the distance between them was continuously shrinking.

"Conceal yourselves."

Qin Shilei was also reluctant to provoke these group-oriented Other World beasts. He called out and flashed into a nearby shop to hide.

Just as everyone had hidden, the swarm of hornets finally caught up to the large eagle.

"Whoosh!"

The large eagle's tragic cry came from the sky.

In Qin Shilei's eyes, he could see countless hornets being hit by the large eagle and falling to the ground, but the eagle's body also began to sway.

Not long after, the large eagle fell completely to the ground, and the hornets also chased it down.

About ten minutes later, the swarm of hornets ascended again and flew away into the distance.

Jie Mingchen said with lingering fear, "Mr. Qin, how about we just walk over?"

Qin Shilei nodded, "Okay, these hornets are indeed a nuisance. But we can speed up a bit. As long as it's not an Other World beast like King Kong, I guarantee you'll be fine."

Thinking that Qin Shilei could escape from King Kong, Jie Mingchen was no longer so timid and led his subordinates quickly towards their destination.

Along the way, the group encountered more than ten large spiders, four to five meters tall, and a group of demon wolves the size of oxen.

All were easily dealt with by Qin Shilei alone.

After walking five to six thousand meters, they finally arrived near a large tree.

It was a large tree with a diameter of two meters and a height of thirty to forty meters.

Jie Mingchen pointed at the large tree and said, "This tree is one of the singularities that professor mentioned. If you observe it carefully, you'll see its strangeness."

As soon as he finished speaking, the tree suddenly swayed without wind.

Then it became indistinct, as if it was about to disappear.

Suddenly, dozens of giant spiders appeared abruptly around the large tree, then fell to the ground.

"Most of the Other World beasts in our city appear this way," Jie Mingchen explained.

At this moment, the group of spiders also discovered Qin Shilei and his group and rushed over aggressively.
