Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As soon as a strange expression formed on Lin Yao’s face, Li Shan and his team rushed over. The alley freak was obviously extraordinary. At first glance, one could tell that more than one team was necessary to deal with it. The city would therefore mobilize other teams to assist them.

By the time Li Shan arrived, a tall, burly, feisty man had also rushed over with an aggressive-looking team.

Although he was a fair distance away, Lin Yao could sense a ball of flames burning from afar.

‘What a strong aura. This feeling… He’s definitely a silver powerhouse.’

As Lin Yao exclaimed, both policewoman Wen Chang and Li Shan were surprised.

“Isn’t this the Red Fox Team? Tsk… Why did the city mobilize you guys this time?”

“Because the freak is very powerful, of course… Speaking of this, you guys are really lucky. The freak conceals itself as a small alley and is extremely inconspicuous. Even if someone comes here, they’ll probably stray into the alley unknowingly. Once this happens, they’ll fall prey to the killing rules of the freak and become a passive party. They might even die without knowing what happened.”

As he said that, the feisty man glanced at Wen Chang in surprise.

“So many of you have escaped, and you’ve also found out most of the information there is about the freak. Honestly, this is something I didn’t expect.”

The feisty captain of the Red Fox Team seemed to know Li Shan and the group and was surprised by Li Shan and Wen Chang’s good luck. Soon, a female voice was heard beside him.

“They didn’t get lucky. They were able to escape because they detected the freak and its location in advance.”

A beautiful woman was talking. She had an intellectual disposition and looked somewhat incompatible with the irascible-looking captain of the Red Fox Team. Nevertheless, when one took a closer look, one would inexplicably feel that the two were, in fact, quite well-matched. One of them was as feisty as fire, and the other as gentle as water.

While holding a tablet and browsing through the information on it, she spoke to the captain of the Red Fox Team, who was obviously taken aback.

“They detected it in advance? Do they have this ability?”

“Hey, do you think I wouldn’t dare mock you because you’re at the silver level? What do you mean? Do we seem that weak to you?”

“It’s a fact. Your entire team is not my match.”

“I… B*stard. So what if you’re powerful?”

“Captain Li Shan, please don’t get angry. I apologize to you on behalf of our captain.”

Upon seeing Li Shan become extremely furious, the intellectual-looking woman stepped forward and forced the tall, burly captain of the Red Fox Team to bow his head.

“Apologize.”

The captain of the Red Fox Team had a surprised look on his face. The various teams had a competitive and collaborative relationship, and it was not uncommon for them to spite one another. Of course, they would not cross the line.

At the same time, there was a friendship between the teams because of their frequent collaboration. The earlier conversation was thus regarded as a jest between men and was not considered a big deal. In the past, his vice-captain would either have smiled or at most said a few words to ease the atmosphere. She would give him some face and rarely force him to bow.

He was thus puzzled and surprised. However, upon seeing his vice-captain’s cold expression and pondering the options of either saving face or sleeping on the sofa, the captain of the Red Fox Team eventually bowed.

Li Shan was also a little shocked to see the captain of the team, who consistently ranked in one of the top places in Ninghai City, bow.

“Forget it. I’m not being serious. It’s true that our team is not your match.”

Li Shan thought that this incident would be over, but he was surprised by what happened subsequently.

After making the captain of the Red Fox Team apologize, the intellectual-looking beauty walked up to Lin Yao, who had been watching the incident from the sidelines, with a gentle smile on her face.

“Student Lin Yao, right? You’re only a third-year senior high school student, yet you came forward bravely to fight the freaks. You’re considered a hero because of your character.”

Lin Yao was a little surprised by this praise.

“It’s nothing. I’m just doing what I can to help. Fighters like you guys, who protect Ninghai City and China, are the real heroes.”

“You have such a sweet tongue.” The intellectual-looking beauty of the Red Fox Team gave him a beautiful smile.

However, just as Lin Yao exclaimed in his heart, she suddenly said, “Are you interested in joining our team? Our Red Fox Team has consistently ranked in the top three places in the city. Our captain is also one of the few most powerful individuals amongst the members of the regular teams. If you join our team…”

While she was speaking, Li Shan had already come back to his senses.

“I knew it. Zhi Hu, when did you become so kind? It turns out that you’re here to poach someone.”

“What are you saying? Lin Yao is only a high school student, not a member of any establishment. He can’t join any of the teams either. Therefore, he is not a member of your team.”

Of course, Li Shan was unconvinced by these words, but Zhi Hu had more than one justification. “Besides, joining our team is the best choice for Student Lin Yao. Given his talent, he’ll be better protected in our team, not to mention the resources he’ll get.”

“We will do our best to protect him…”

As Li Shan said this, he was very resolute. However, he was interrupted before he could finish his words.

“I don’t question your determination, but determination in the face of danger is not enough. You also need to be powerful. There are some freaks that you guys are no match for, even if you go all out to fight them. How are you going to protect Student Lin Yao then?”

Captain Li Shan was silenced by these words. On the other hand, the policewoman was immediately convinced and agreed with what Zhi Hu had said.

In the end, everyone turned their gazes to Lin Yao.

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Yao shook his head at the intellectual-looking beauty with the code name Zhi Hu.

This action made her frown.

“Student Lin Yao, please consider this carefully. Joining our team would be beneficial for both your safety and future.”

“Thank you for thinking highly of me, but I think I’ll be safer with the Red Mountain Team.”

“Huh?”

Upon seeing the puzzled look on the faces of the members of the Red Fox Team, Lin Yao verbalized his thoughts. “Although this team is weaker, it is also dealing with weaker freaks. I don’t deny that you guys are very strong, but you’ll be in the core area once you enter the mysterious land, right? I’ll become a burden then.”

In this era, those with greater ability would be given greater authority. With great power came great responsibility. The Red Fox Team was very strong, and the city would naturally render them adequate resources and support. However, they would also be the first ones to be mobilized as soon as a problem occurred.

This was exactly the case. The alley freak could devour humans silently and had obviously grown in power. After discovering this, the city leaders had simply instructed Li Shan and Wen Chang to stand aside while ordering the Red Fox Team to deal with it.

“If I join the Red Fox Team, I might be killed instantly by the powerful freaks with an AOE [1. AOE (Area of Effect) is a term used in many role-playing and strategy games to describe attacks or spells that can affect multiple targets within a specified area.], whereas if I join the Red Mountain Team, I might have a chance to fight for my life.”

Although Lin Yao was very weak, the dangers he encountered with Li Shan’s team would not be that great. This was because the freaks he came across would be weaker and he would be able to use his special ability to deal with them. He just needed to be more careful. Therefore, Lin Yao was reluctant to leave the team.

When she figured this out, a look of regret formed on Zhi Hu’s face. However, she soon came back to her senses.

“It’s okay if you can’t join me now. When you grow up, Younger Brother, you can look for Sister’s team, okay?”

“Okay.”

“Good lad. I’ll do my best to protect you.”

When he saw that Lin Yao hadn’t left his team, Li Shan’s face was filled with excitement.

On the other hand, Hong Hu, who was leading his team toward the alley, glanced at his vice-chairman and wife with a puzzled expression.

“Why are you that eager to poach a high school student? Is he that talented?”

“Of course, he is a gold genius. Furthermore, he has both rare light and thunder abilities. What do you think?”

“Wait a minute. He alone has mastered both light and thunder? He’s damn lucky, isn’t he?”

It was no wonder the captain of the Red Fox Team was surprised. Both thunder and light were rare abilities that could restrain freaks—the greatest danger to mankind—extremely well.

Light abilities could weaken or even dispel some of the curses of the freaks, and thunder abilities could annihilate the freaks. Any individual who awakened either of these two major abilities would be considered a key genius to be groomed by the city. He had such dumb luck!

What Hong Hu was unaware of was that the light and thunder abilities could also complement each other. He would certainly suffer an emotional breakdown if he were to discover that. Indeed, there were gaps and differences between humans.
