Chapter 312: Occupying the North

Song Yiguo was shocked to hear that Yu Laosan actually had dual superpowers.

He really hadn’t expected Yu Laosan to have any superpowers at all.

Yu Laosan had always told everyone that he didn’t have a superpower.

‘Who would have thought he was hiding his true strength?’

“If someone turns invisible and then burrows underground, even another Earth Attribute Superpower User wouldn’t be able to track them! So… when you see someone like Yu Laosan, don’t hesitate—just kill him on sight!” Chen Xing had suffered from this before, so she naturally knew how to deal with Yu Laosan.

Song Yiguo immediately issued a kill-on-sight order for Yu Laosan.

At that moment, Yu Laosan was still in his living room, completely unaware that his hiding place had been exposed.

He was starting to resent Cheng Fang.

Following her proposal, he had earned a lot of supplies, but he had also lost a great deal.

All in all, he had come out at a loss.

Most importantly, a sudden cold snap had trapped Song Yiguo in Green City, and he didn’t even dare to step outside for a breath of fresh air.

He felt increasingly uneasy.

As he was pacing back and forth in his room, the phone rang. It was Cheng Fang. “Yu, on the check-in list this time, is there anyone from the United States named nightingale?”

‘Cheng Fang figured that since nightingale knew the secret of the Green Gemstone Jewelry, he was bound to come after hearing about the emerald ring auction.’

“There are so many people, and not all of them are registered. It’s impossible to check!” Yu Laosan’s tone was impatient.

He was very agitated, as if something was about to happen.

“This nightingale is a Killing Demon. If he gets involved, I’m afraid Green City will face utter devastation!” Cheng Fang deliberately made it sound serious.

In reality, she wasn’t exaggerating at all. How many people had nightingale killed?

There wasn’t a single person in the world who hadn’t heard his name.

Yu Laosan finally showed some concern. “I’ll have someone look into it!” With that, he hung up the phone.

He immediately called the hotel management office.

Just as he put the phone down, he heard a cat meow.

In the dead of night, the sound had an unnerving, soul-wearying effect.

Yu Laosan flinched and cursed under his breath, “Damn beast, how has the apocalypse not killed you yet!” He hated cats.

Especially cats that cried out in the middle of the night; it always felt like a prelude to something strange.

He walked briskly to the window, wanting to see what was happening outside.

It was still snowing outside, and the pervasive darkness of the night was somewhat terrifying.

And amidst this terrifying atmosphere, he saw two black cats suddenly appear at the window.

He stumbled back several steps in fright, nearly falling over. By the time he regained his footing, the window suddenly shattered.

The two black cats leaped through the window, one after the other, and immediately began to bite and claw at him.

As soon as he came to his senses, he turned invisible.

Little did he know, his invisibility had no effect on the Little Black Cats.

They opened their fanged mouths and viciously bit at him all over, tearing off three of his fingers.

“Guards…!” Realizing his invisibility was useless, Yu Laosan screamed.

At that very moment, Song Yiguo’s team stormed into his hideout.

Song Yiguo himself also entered the room, right alongside Yu Laosan’s men.

Song Yiguo was dressed all in black, with snowflakes still dusting his hat. “Yu Laosan, this place of yours isn’t so hidden after all!”

As he spoke, his gaze fell to Yu Laosan’s feet.

The next second, Yu Laosan turned invisible and was about to burrow into the ground.

But… at some point, the ground beneath his feet had been turned into a sheet of steel.

“I hear the Gold Attribute is the perfect counter to your Earth Attribute!” Before Song Yiguo even entered the room, Chen Xing had already placed a large sheet of steel under Yu Laosan’s feet from outside.

Even if he wanted to burrow, he couldn’t.

The black cats, meanwhile, had already slipped away before they came in.

Yu Laosan was stunned.

His subordinates were no match for them and were forced to surrender in an instant.

And because his fingers were bleeding continuously, his invisibility was as good as useless, so he had no choice but to reveal himself.

“You harmed my family and my loved one. Did you think you’d get away with it?” As Song Yiguo spoke, he plunged a knife into Yu Laosan’s abdomen. “Compared to the Li Family, the Lu Family, and the Situ family, I despise a petty backstabber like you even more!”

Knowing he was more likely to die than live today, Yu Laosan’s knees buckled and he knelt on the floor. “Young Master Song, I think you’ve misunderstood me! How could I possibly harm you, your family, or your loved one? You must have been deceived by someone! I, Yu Laosan, have always been an upright and honest man, I would never…”

“Yu Laosan… can you still say that with a straight face in front of Mr. Li?” Song Yiguo was radiating killing intent.

He vaguely remembered Mr. Li’s words: ‘Among all of them, Yu Laosan is the most cunning.’

Hearing Mr. Li’s name, Yu Laosan’s face paled with panic, his composure finally breaking. “Young Master Song… I know I was wrong, I’m begging you, give me a chance! I only ask that you spare my life…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Song Yiguo pulled the knife out and plunged it directly into the top of his head.

‘Chen Xing had also warned me not to talk too much with Yu Laosan.’

‘That man is cunning and could easily escape.’

As Yu Laosan collapsed, Song Yiguo saw the superpower gathering in his hand.

It seemed he had been about to turn invisible.

‘Just as expected, Yu Laosan was cunning!’

After killing Yu Laosan, the killing intent in Song Yiguo’s eyes finally subsided a tiny bit.

‘It’s probably for the best that the North is gone.’

‘As long as no one was scheming against them, the survivors were perfectly capable of handling zombies. Survival wouldn’t be an issue.’

Chen Xing then told him about Yu Laosan’s largest supply cache, which the Little Black Cat had found. “This should be enough to feed the people in the safe zone for a few years!”

Chen Xing hadn’t realized just how massive Yu Laosan’s supply cache was until the search began.

The old bastard had turned the entire city’s underground into his personal supply depot.

And conveniently, the entrance was in Yu Laosan’s bedroom.

Song Yiguo was speechless.

‘There’s no way we can move all of this in one go!’

He took over Yu Laosan’s old residence and made a call that night to arrange for two more groups of Superpower Users to be transferred over after the snow stopped.

Chen Xing didn’t leave. Instead, she crouched down next to Yu Laosan’s body and picked up the phone he had dropped.

Just as she picked it up, the phone rang.

Chen Xing answered the call but didn’t speak.

“Boss, the nightingale you mentioned didn’t check into the luxury hotel. He was assigned to the civilian residential area, and it seems he’s still there now!” It was the manager who had received Yu Laosan’s order to investigate nightingale earlier.

Chen Xing was speechless. ‘I got the information that easily?’

“Young Master Song, I’m heading out!” she said, unable to wait.

‘The day I went to the civilian area to rescue people, I was invisible. With so many people around, I didn’t notice him.’

‘Who would’ve thought nightingale was hiding in there?’

“Have Vice General Du go with you!” Song Yiguo was worried about her going alone.

But Chen Xing didn’t want that. “It’s inconvenient to bring someone along. I’m perfectly safe on my own, you don’t have to worry at all!”

With that, before Song Yiguo could say another word, she had already dashed out.

She was in a hurry!

‘If I can get my hands on nightingale’s necklace, my own safety will be guaranteed.’

By the time she ran to the building where the civilians were housed, it was already late at night.

In the darkness, she saw a shadowy figure ahead of her, furtively entering the building.
