Under Jie Mingchen's lead, Qin Shilei and his group arrived at a park west of Tokugawa City.
"Wow, wow!"
As soon as they stepped into the park, a flock of Fire Crows shrieked and rose from the small woods, then chased after a Steelhide Boar and flew off into the distance.
As they pursued, the Fire Crows sprayed streams of rockets at the Steelhide Boar, causing the boar to bellow in pain.
With a quick glance, Qin Shilei saw that the Steelhide Boar was a Silver Four-star异兽 (Yi Shou - extraordinary beast), yet it was fleeing in disarray before the massive number of Fire Crows.
Jie Mingchen explained, "The other two singularities usually only appear with large spiders and gorillas, but this singularity will have various types of 异兽 (Yi Shou), primarily flying ones."
As they spoke, the group arrived at the grassy area within the park.
Before them was a large ball emitting a seven-colored glow.
The ball resembled a giant goose egg, about three to four meters high.
Qin Shilei reached out and pressed it. His finger sank in, but the egg did not break.
He raised his Blood Soul and swung it down fiercely.
Blood Soul deeply embedded itself into the colored egg, and then a tremendous force erupted from the egg, nearly flinging Blood Soul away.
Qin Shilei observed closely. The spot he had just struck showed no trace of damage.
He checked his personal panel and found that the cooldown for Phantom had expired.
He summoned Phantom, activated his One-Punch Man state, and used the combat skill Seven Stars Fall Long Sky to strike the colored egg again.
Bang!
Phantom's sword strike was repelled by the egg's rebound force, sending it flying more than ten meters away, its form significantly blurred.
"It seems even with Mr. Qin's strength, he cannot destroy this colored egg, which reflects physical attacks, in one blow."
Jie Mingchen paused, then added, "According to the professor's hypothesis, we can combine our 异能 (Yi Neng - extraordinary abilities) to attack this colored egg. Once it exceeds a certain critical point, it will shatter."
He then threw a fireball at the colored egg.
The fireball was absorbed by the egg without any reflection.
Upon hearing this, Qin Shilei's mind immediately formed a plan.
If all the survivors in Tokugawa City could be gathered, and they were responsible for attacking this colored egg together, then he could focus on the giant tree and the stone tablet, greatly increasing his chances of destroying all three singularities simultaneously.
Qin Shilei turned and asked, "Captain Jie, do you know the locations of the survivors in the city?"
Jie Mingchen shook his head, "Because the 异兽 (Yi Shou) in the city are too dangerous, we usually only operate near the base, so I only know the locations of some of the survivors."
As for the locations of these three singularities, they were discovered before there were so many powerful 异兽 (Yi Shou).
Qin Shilei instructed, "Try to contact the survivors you can reach, and have everyone gather together. When the time comes, we will break the singularities and escape this city."
Jie Mingchen nodded, "I will go contact them shortly."
After that, Qin Shilei first escorted them back near their supermarket, then returned to the rooftop of a tall building to continue his cultivation.
His current strength was still insufficient. Only by advancing to the Golden realm could Phantom guarantee the destruction of that stone tablet.
The rain intermittently stopped and started, and thunder frequently rumbled across the sky.
Qin Shilei took the opportunity to carefully comprehend the power of lightning.
As he continuously drew natural lightning into his body for comprehension, his understanding of the power of lightning deepened.
Lightning is a force of pure yang, possessing immense destructive power.
Qin Shilei felt as if he was only a thin layer away from fully understanding the rule of the lightning attribute, perhaps able to break through at any moment and achieve sudden enlightenment.
Just as he was preparing to draw down heavenly lightning again for further comprehension, Jie Mingchen suddenly arrived.
"Mr. Qin, I have searched for all the nearby survivors."
Jie Mingchen said with some shame, "Perhaps my strength is insufficient, as many people did not believe my words. Only a few dozen people have gathered at the supermarket downstairs."
"Take me there. I'll also try to find the survivors throughout the entire city," Qin Shilei had to personally take action.
Jie Mingchen led the way, and they soon arrived outside a restaurant.
"This is a base established by a survivor named Chen Li. There are about a hundred survivors here."
After he finished speaking, he stepped forward and knocked on the restaurant's large door.
Hearing the knock, the people inside observed through the window. Upon confirming there was no danger, they opened the door.
"Why are you here again?"
The three young men who opened the door were led by a burly man whose chest and one arm were covered in various tattoos.
"This Mr. Qin is here to see your leader. Please go and report," Jie Mingchen said, pointing to Qin Shilei.
"Hmph," the burly man said disdainfully, "I don't care what 'Mr. Qin' you are. Get lost. Don't loiter around here. If you attract 异兽 (Yi Shou), we'll make you pay."
"Mr. Qin can lead us out of this city. Are you willing to stay here and be eaten by 异兽 (Yi Shou)?" Jie Mingchen said patiently.
"Really?" The burly man's spirits immediately lifted upon hearing about leaving. He turned and ran inside to find his boss.
After only a few minutes, he came back out, cursing.
"Get lost! You're asking us to attack the colored egg that the 异兽 (Yi Shou) came from? Aren't you deliberately sending us to our deaths? You even got me scolded by the boss."
As he spoke, the burly man brandished his long saber, making a gesture to drive Qin Shilei and Jie Mingchen away.
"Hmph!"
Qin Shilei snorted, "You won't listen when I speak nicely, must I resort to force for you to obey?"
Saying this, he closed the distance, grabbed the man's right hand, and gently twisted.
"Ah!"
The burly man cried out in pain and involuntarily bent down, kneeling on the ground.
His long saber clattered to the floor as he lost his grip.
"Let's go. Take me to see your boss," Qin Shilei said calmly.
"Let go, let go! I'll take you to see our boss right now."
The burly man felt as if his wrist was about to break. Realizing he had encountered a tough opponent, he quickly agreed.
Holding the burly man captive, they proceeded up to the third floor of the hotel.
The survivors they encountered along the way, some tried to step forward to rescue their companion, but were easily kicked away by Qin Shilei.
Soon, they arrived in front of a large office with a bedroom attached.
At Qin Shilei's signal, Jie Mingchen kicked the door open.
"Who the hell dared to kick my door?" Chen Li, who was teasing his subordinates, turned and cursed.
"Call all your subordinates here," Qin Shilei said calmly.
Chen Li saw that the opponent was holding his strongest subordinate captive and knew he was not to be trifled with and possessed considerable strength.
He then looked up and shouted towards the outside of the door, "Someone, call everyone over!"
Ten minutes later, the inside and outside of the office were crowded with people.
"Hahaha."
Chen Li laughed heartily, "Now that all my men are here, do you choose to fight me one-on-one or a group brawl?"
Qin Shilei smiled, "I choose neither. I choose for you to die."
