Chapter 783 Titan Sequence 4 - Three-Headed Giant

“Chief Seat, someone over at Shun'an Residential Community is organizing a tax protest!”

Lai Baiwei wore black stockings, high heels, and a figure-hugging skirt, a file tucked in her arms. She looked every bit the part of a little secretary.

Chen Ye could not be bothered to spare Lai Baiwei a glance. Compared to Xu Lina's stunning beauty, Lai Baiwei just fell a little short. “Send Jiang Rou, that crazy woman, to handle it. Doesn't she love fighting the most?”

Lai Baiwei bit her lip. “Chief Seat, Captain Jiang went on patrol. Today is her turn!”

“Then send Wu Zehui. Don't tell me he went on patrol too?”

“Captain Wu didn't, but he just left. There are problems over at Happy Garden as well!”

“Tax protests too?”

“That's right!”

Chen Ye curled his lip. “They're all damn useless!”

Lai Baiwei didn't dare say anything.

The person the Chief Seat was cursing was the Third Captain. How could an ordinary person like her dare to get involved in that sort of conversation?

“Where's You Hu?”

“Captain You Hu and Captain Chen Hao are investigating the Goddess Symbiosis Society!”

“The Goddess Symbiosis Society?”

At the mention of the Goddess Symbiosis Society, Chen Ye's expression turned a little strange.

According to the deal he'd made with Huang Jue earlier, he was the real big boss behind the Goddess Symbiosis Society.

Well, look at that. They were already investigating it. If they traced it back to him in the end...

But Huang Jue had just told him that he could use the power of faith to fuse with his Blood Eye tonight.

He had no idea whether that guy was telling the truth.

Either way, he might as well give it a try first.

What the hell had that idiot Huang Jue been up to lately? Why make such a huge commotion? He'd even alerted You Hu.

“Chief Seat, we could actually send the Deputy Captain.”

“Huang Jue? That guy...”

“No, Chief Seat, Deputy Captain Iron Lion is awake!”

“Iron Lion's awake?”

Hearing that Iron Lion had woken up, Chen Ye was overjoyed.

That guy had finally woken up. He'd been saving the Deputy Captain position for him for ages.

Just then,

the door to the Chief Seat's office was shoved open.

The light in the room dimmed slightly.

Then a muscular man over two meters tall barged inside, wearing a military-green tank top and black jeans.

His massive frame completely blocked the doorway.

Iron Lion looked nothing like the Big Fool of old.

He was like a man cast from solid steel.

He didn't have two heads or four arms.

He was just an ordinary man...

The moment he came closer, he gave off an intense sense of menace.

It was as if the one standing before them wasn't a person, but some ancient ferocious beast.

It was an instinctive feeling.

Only the honest, simple expression on his face made him seem familiar.

Iron Lion had reached Sequence 4!

That was something Chen Ye had never expected.

This guy was simply...

His rate of advancement was no slower than Chen Ye's.

Once the Titan Sequence reached Sequence 4, its users learned how to rein in the energy within their bodies. Only then could they control the outward manifestation of their Superhuman mutations.

“Holy crap... you... you actually reached Sequence 4?”

Iron Lion grinned. “Heh heh... Yezi, I'm Sequence 4!”

Chen Ye circled Iron Lion, looking him up and down. “Wait, you can advance a level every time you die? Could that actually be your ability?”

Iron Lion scratched his head, looking as simple as ever. “Heh heh... I don't know!”

Chen Ye reached out and poked the bulging muscles on Iron Lion's arm. The muscles on this guy's body felt completely different from those of a normal human.

It was as if there weren't muscle tissues beneath his skin at all, but chunks of soft steel.

“How about I try cutting your head off and see if you advance to Sequence 5?”

Iron Lion just grinned. “Heh heh... Sure. I trust you, Yezi!”

Chen Ye froze. Damn, this guy really was a complete idiot. How could he trust someone with something like that?

The idiot had reached Sequence 4, and sure enough, he was even dumber now. “I knew it. Even at Sequence 4, the Titan Sequence still has no brains!”

Iron Lion chuckled foolishly. “Heh heh...”

Lai Baiwei was standing far away. Iron Lion made her feel very uneasy now.

She knew he was the gentlest Superhuman in the entire convoy, and compared to before, he looked more like an ordinary human. But she still couldn't shake the feeling.

It was as if the one standing in front of her wasn't a person, but a vicious beast that had crawled out of the Abyss.

“You finally woke up, you bastard. I'm the Chief Seat now, and I've got a Deputy Captain position lined up for you. Are you taking it?”

“Heh heh... Yezi, I'll do whatever you tell me to do...”

“You... Fine. Starting today, you're the Deputy Captain of Guard Team One, under Guard Team Thirteen!”

“Lai Baiwei...”

At Chen Ye's call, Lai Baiwei came forward on her long legs in black stockings, though she still kept well away from Iron Lion.

“Let Iron Lion handle the situation at Shun'an Residential Community!”

Lai Baiwei bent slightly at the waist, revealing a hint of her little ploy. Unfortunately, Chen Ye didn't notice at all. He was only looking at Iron Lion, who was built like no ordinary human.

“You're such an idiot. I don't even know if making you Deputy Captain was the right call!”

Iron Lion thumped his chest so hard it boomed. “I don't know how to be a captain or anything, but if you want me to do it, Yezi, you must have a good reason!”

“Whatever you tell me to do, I'll do!”

Chen Ye patted Iron Lion on the shoulder. “Some people at Shun'an Residential Community are organizing a tax protest. When you get there, don't waste time talking to them. Just knock them all flat!”

Iron Lion nodded again and again. “Mm, got it. Just knock them flat!”

“Yezi, I'm going to Shun'an Residential Community. What are you going to do?”

Chen Ye pointed at the sofa beside the office desk. “I'm going to take a nap!”

“Yezi, haven't you always been unable to sleep?”

Chen Ye rolled his eyes. “Can't I just zone out if I can't sleep?”

Iron Lion scratched his head and thought it over. “Sure. Yezi, you can zone out. I'll go help you knock them flat!”

“By the way, what's your sequence name?”

“I think it's called Three-Headed Giant!”

“Three-Headed Giant!”

Chen Ye savored the sequence name for a moment, then waved Iron Lion away.

Iron Lion followed Lai Baiwei out of the Chief Seat's office.

As Lai Baiwei left the office, her gaze was as resentful as could be.

The long-legged girl had gone to no end of trouble today to get Chen Ye's attention.

But throughout the whole thing, Chen Ye had barely looked at her.

It left the long-legged girl feeling thoroughly defeated.

...

Recently, there had been tax protests of varying degrees at both Sunshine Garden and Shun'an Residential Community.

The newly arrived convoys were especially unhappy about having to pay taxes as soon as they got there.

Although the taxes really weren't high, the Superhumans still thought they were different because they had the strength to back it up.

After so long in the apocalypse, many people had grown used to holding a higher status than everyone else in their convoys.

But now, after arriving here, someone was ordering them around, and they were being taxed too.

It left them feeling deeply uncomfortable.

Wan Chao hurried home with two bowls of gruel.

As soon as he opened the front door, he saw his wife, Xu Xiuxiu, looking tense. “Honey, you're... you're back!”

As she spoke, Xu Xiuxiu even took a small, frightened step backward.

Wan Chao looked nervous. He glanced at the window on the balcony before setting the two bowls down on the table. “I'm back, Xiuxiu. You...”

“Honey, you... you didn't talk to them?”

Wan Chao shook his head repeatedly. “No... I didn't talk to them, and they didn't talk to me either!”

Only then did Xu Xiuxiu look a little relieved.

“Honey, you...”

Wan Chao didn't answer his wife's question. He hurried over to the balcony and pulled the curtains shut.

But as soon as he tugged, the entire curtain came down.

The curtain rings on the track had grown brittle with age.

Nervous, Wan Chao pulled his wife straight into the bedroom, then used the broken bedroom door panel to cover the window.

Xu Xiuxiu looked puzzled. “Honey, you...”

“Shh...”

Wan Chao quickly motioned for her to be quiet.

Xu Xiuxiu said nothing, but without realizing it, she grabbed a rusty pair of scissors beside her.

She had found them while tidying up after Wan Chao left home.

“Superhumans. There are Superhumans outside! Be careful!”

The moment Xu Xiuxiu heard the word “Superhumans,” she shuddered and fell silent.

...

“Sister Huahua, Mr. Lü, this is Deputy Captain Iron Lion!”

Lai Baiwei introduced Iron Lion to Huahua and Squinty Eyes.

Well, Squinty Eyes's surname was Lü. If Lai Baiwei hadn't asked his name while filling out the registration, Huahua might never have found out that Squinty Eyes was surnamed Lü.

Iron Lion gave a simple, foolish grin.

Huahua and Squinty Eyes, however, were both slightly taken aback.

This Titan Sequence user seemed pretty extraordinary!
