Zuo Feng suddenly stood up, his eyes revealing deep shock.
He never expected that a seven-striped symbiotic beast had already appeared in this world, and what shocked him even more was that Pan Yeluo had actually brought them home as guests.
However, fortunately, Da Bai Tu informed him that the two small symbiotic beasts were quite polite and had no ill intentions, which slightly eased Zuo Feng's mind.
He slowly sat down, his thoughts surging like a tide, and he mused, "Da Bai Tu actually had the idea of getting closer to those two small beasts. Zuo Feng couldn't help but admire the combination of Pan Yeluo and Da Bai Tu; one dared to bring them, and the other dared to take them in."
However, upon closer thought, this also seemed to be the best solution.
They couldn't just throw out a seven-striped symbiotic beast, could they? Symbiotic beasts also have pride, and if they lost their temper, Firefly wouldn't be able to handle it at all.
Zuo Feng shook his head and continued to read.
Fortunately, there was still good news: at least Jun Wushuang had been killed by Pan Yeluo, and his body had been brought back to Firefly and thrown into the Laboratory.
As the only person who had currently lit half of the eighth Lotus Seed, Jun Wushuang's body had extremely high research value.
Poor Jun Wushuang, as the only one who had broken through the bottleneck, he still couldn't escape the fate of being sliced and studied.
Regarding this, Zuo Feng didn't have much feeling; it was simply the victor taking all.
The most important thing right now was to subdue the Xenomorph .
As for the New type of symbiotic zombie virus crisis in H City, Zuo Feng was already numb to it.
Da Bai Tu said that the seven-striped variant boss was near H City, and with the spread of the New type of symbiotic zombie virus, H City was practically a danger zone now.
Zuo Feng couldn't worry about things over there anymore; let whatever happens happen. His small body couldn't handle it; it was too terrifying.
After reading the letter, Zuo Feng quickly wrote a reply, urging Da Bai Tu to be extremely careful and not to be negligent.
After all, a seven-striped symbiotic beast was no small matter; a slight mistake could lead to disaster.
After handing the letter to Kong Ling to take back, Zuo Feng kept the chubby little messenger.
That's right, now Kong Ling, Pan Yeluo, and the chubby one were all being used as messengers.
With everything concluded, Zuo Feng, having nothing else to do, naturally went to sleep.
At this time, Jun Moce, Mo Tianya, Pan Yeluo, and Wen Wudao had just escaped to the outskirts of E City.
The four, leading their exhausted and disheveled teams, were in rags, but their faces showed the relief of surviving a disaster.
Their speed was far inferior to Pan Yeluo and Kong Ling, so they had only just arrived in E City.
Returning to E City, the four led their respective subordinates back to their strongholds.
This time, the losses for Mowen Tianya and Junlin Tianxia were truly too great; both sides lost nearly a quarter of their strength.
If it weren't for most people being out searching for variants and Yun Qianqian, the consequences of this ordeal would have been unimaginable.
That night, the high-level forces of Mowen Tianya and Junlin Tianxia underwent a large-scale reorganization; many mid-level cadres were promoted to fill the vacancies, while the survivors returned home, still shaken.
That night was destined to be a sleepless one; the news of a seven-striped variant appearing in the central area of H City quickly spread throughout E City.
Too many powerful individuals had died, so the news couldn't be suppressed, and there wasn't much need to conceal it.
Pan Yeluo sat at the head of the conference table, looking at the empty seats in the room, a pang of sorrow in his heart.
The powerful individuals he had brought out were the elite of the elite, many of them his trusted confidants, but now he could only face these empty chairs.
The atmosphere in the conference room was heavy, and Yin Jiu, sitting to the side, had fine beads of sweat on his forehead, his little heart pounding, filled with lingering fear.
They had actually encountered a seven-striped variant! It was a good thing he had exhausted his abilities while resisting Jun Wushuang's attack and hadn't joined the pursuit team.
Otherwise, his life would definitely not have been saved. Most of those who escaped were speed-type ability users; if he, a defense-type, had gone, he would have said goodbye to sweet love.
“Send people to H City to find out which force destroyed Peerless Apocalypse and what their strength is,” Pan Yeluo ordered in a deep voice.
This time, the losses were too great; he had to find a way to break through the bottleneck as soon as possible.
Now that Jun Wushuang was dead, the only clue was the mysterious force that had destroyed Jun Wushuang's power.
There might be clues to breaking through the bottleneck there. As long as they found a way to break through the bottleneck, this loss would still be acceptable.
Pan Yeluo dared not delay; he was certain that Jun Moce, Mo Tianya, and Wen Wudao would also send people to H City to investigate at the first opportunity.
That night, undercurrents surged, and countless spies from E City rushed to H City overnight.
The next morning, Xiao Rou knocked on the door of Zuo Feng's villa early, and the first thing she said after opening the door was, “Mr. Zuo, something big has happened.”
Zuo Feng raised an eyebrow; he, of course, knew that something big had happened. So many powerful individuals who had lit Six Lotus Seeds had died, so it was certainly a big deal, but Zuo Feng naturally wouldn't let Xiao Rou realize that he already knew.
He feigned surprise and said, “What's wrong? Come in and tell me.”
Zuo Feng stepped aside, allowing Xiao Rou, who was carrying breakfast, to enter the house.
Xiao Rou placed the breakfast on the table and said eagerly:
“Mr. Zuo, after the bounty was released yesterday, the powerful individuals from Mowen Tianya and Junlin Tianxia ambushed Jun Wushuang, but they didn't expect to be led into the central area of H City by Jun Wushuang.
They encountered a seven-striped variant there, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. It is said that nearly 300 powerful individuals who had lit Six Lotus Seeds died.
Moreover, most of them were mid-level managers and core members. Now E City is in chaos, and people are panicking.”
Zuo Feng secretly nodded, the news spread quite fast, but his face remained impassive: “Oh? Such a thing happened? That is indeed a big deal.”
Xiao Rou continued, “Mr. Zuo, I also have another piece of news. Now Mowen Tianya and Junlin Tianxia have both sent spies to H City to investigate the organization that destroyed Jun Wushuang’s forces. Mr. Zuo, you must be careful.”
Previously, Zuo Feng had told her that Jun Wushuang’s forces were destroyed by Zuo Feng’s forces.
Xiao Rou naturally knew that the organization of this big shot in front of her would soon be exposed to the various forces in E City.
However, Zuo Feng appeared unusually calm, responding faintly, “It's fine; let them investigate. By the way, this loss is inseparable from that bounty. Didn't anyone trouble you?”
The fuse for E City's losses this time could entirely be attributed to the E-rank bounty that Zuo Feng had entrusted Xiao Rou to release. Zuo Feng didn't believe that no one would have thought of tracing the source of the bounty.
Xiao Rou took a sip of porridge and said with a slight complaint, “Of course they did, Mr. Zuo, you don't even know, I was sleeping soundly at home last night, and someone just dragged me out of bed; it scared me to death.”
Zuo Feng smiled slightly and continued to ask, “They didn't make things difficult for you, did they?”
Xiao Rou pouted: “Mr. Zuo, don’t worry, I didn’t reveal any information about you.
I only said it was commissioned by someone from H City, and he left after posting the bounty.
They don’t have the time to track down a small bounty poster now. The higher-ups are busy dealing with the aftermath and investigating in H City, and the mid-level managers are busy getting promoted to fill the vacancies. E City is completely in a mess now.”
Zuo Feng nodded upon hearing this: “It seems they won’t have time to bother us in the short term, which is good. By the way, is there any news about the variant?”
Xiao Rou shook her head: “Not yet. Although it's confirmed that there's a variant in the central area of H City, with seven stripes of power, who would dare to verify it? You don't even know, last night some people came to complete the bounty mission, but they all mentioned a seven-striped variant in the central area of H City. These people just wanted to make a quick buck, and they were directly thrown out by our Bounty Hall staff.”
Upon hearing this, Zuo Feng couldn't help but twitch his mouth. Those people really dared to think they could claim the first reward tier for the bounty with news of a seven-striped variant.
Fortunately, the Bounty Hall had an auditing mechanism. A seven-striped variant—anyone who dared to confirm it would be seeking death.
If it weren't for the auditing mechanism, someone really would have exploited the loophole.
