You call me a calamity? But I am Hyper Zetton!

Wu Bai's figure transformed into a black shadow, skimming the ground as he swiftly traversed the dark alleyways.

A moment later, he walked along the wall and climbed onto the roof of a building.

On the rooftop, the Spider Queen and Ji An seemed to sense something and turned around at the same time.

Their tense and wary expressions instantly transformed into fervent worship the moment they saw Wu Bai.

"king."

"king."

Since witnessing Wu Bai's strength, the Spider Queen no longer looked bitter and resentful.

To be able to submit to such a powerful calamity is like a windfall.

Wu Bai deactivated his shadow form and returned to his physical form, then gave the order in a deep voice:

"Ji An, take the Spider Queen and find a secluded place to lie in wait."

"Do not make any major moves in the near future. Wait for my instructions, and I will set up a safe base as headquarters as soon as possible."

Wu Bai paused, his gaze sweeping over the two of them: "Also, that sixth-tier woman will only stay in Hope Base City for a month. During this month, try not to go out to eat."

He heard Ye Lan and Wu Minmin mention this information at the dinner table.

Although they didn't say why, Wu Bai knew in his heart that the current situation in Great Xia was not optimistic.

The higher-ups cannot allow a sixth-tier combatant to take an indefinite leave in this remote town; recalling him is only a matter of time.

After giving all the instructions, he watched as his two subordinates disappeared into the night.

Wu Bai took a deep breath, transformed into a black shadow once more, and headed towards his residential compound.

On the way, he stopped by a supermarket and a pharmacy.

Back home, the living room light was on, but Ye Lan and Wu Minmin had not yet returned.

Su Nian was washing the dishes when she saw Wu Bai carrying large bags and small packages into the house, and couldn't help but complain:

"Could it be that a fourth-tier powerhouse and a fourth-tier calamity are fighting in the west of the city?"

"I've never heard an explosion of that magnitude before in my life, it's absolutely outrageous."

Wu Bai nodded and mumbled, "I guess so."

Don't underestimate Wu Bai; Wu Minmin and Ye Lan are incredibly strong and their growth rate is astonishing.

But in the minds of ordinary people, the fourth rank is already an unattainable figure.

After all, the top experts stationed in Hope Base City are only four fourth-tier experts.

Take Kang Yan, the captain of the third squad of the Zhan'e Division, as an example. He has been stuck at the third rank for six years and there is no sign of him advancing any further.

Thinking of this, Wu Bai glanced out the window, wondering if the other person was dead or not.

……

Meanwhile, on the street where the battle had just broken out.

The flashing police lights illuminated the ruins intermittently as a group of medical personnel carried a stretcher towards the ambulance.

On the stretcher, Kang Yan was covered in charred soot, his left leg was empty below the knee, and the rise and fall of his chest was so faint that it was almost invisible.

Immediately afterwards, rescuers dug out the other members of the third team from the rubble.

Of the seven-person team, only two people besides Kang Yan still showed signs of life.

One was a little girl wearing a tattered Lolita dress, and the other was a muscular man covered in dust.

As for the other ordinary people, none of them survived.

……

Wu Bai returned home a few minutes later.

The sound of a key turning came from the doorway, and the door was pushed open. Wu Minmin and Ye Lan walked in with solemn expressions.

The two paused slightly as soon as they entered the house.

On the sofa in the living room, Su Nianzhen was bandaging Wu Bai's arm with gauze and iodine.

"Brother, what happened to your arm?" Wu Minmin exclaimed, quickly ran over, and squatted down next to Wu Bai to check the wound.

Wu Bai waved his uninjured hand, forcing a helpless, bitter smile onto his face.

"Just now downstairs, I was grazed by the second uncle next door riding his tricycle."

"It's nothing, just a scratch, it looks scary."

"How could you get so badly injured riding a tricycle? How could you be so careless?"

Wu Minmin pouted and blew on the wound with a pained expression.

Ye Lan, standing at the back, remained silent.

She stared at Wu Bai's arm, her eyes narrowing slightly.

How could the location of that injury be exactly the same as the location where I injured Hyper Zetton earlier?

Could it be him?

The thought flashed through Ye Lan's mind, but she immediately found it absurd.

If he really is Hyper Zetton, that calamity with terrifying intelligence.

How could someone be so foolish as to flaunt such an obvious wound in front of them?

Isn't this just walking into a trap?

Is it really just a coincidence?

On the center of her forehead, the skin split slightly to the sides, revealing an extremely fine, iridescent slit.

Through layers of gauze, one can see directly into the texture of the wound beneath the skin.

The wound looks normal; it was definitely scratched by something.

The colorful gaps slowly closed and disappeared.

Ye Lan frowned, half of her doubts dissipating, but the other half remained even more stubborn...

...Could such a coincidence really happen?

One is born, the second is cooked.

At this moment, Wu Bai was still talking to his younger sister.

But in his heart, he kept repeating, "My wound was caused by a tricycle."

Wu Bai had no choice; after Hyper Zetton's main body was injured, it would indeed bleed when it reverted to human form.

The smell of blood couldn't fool the noses of these two awakened beings; since they couldn't hide it, they might as well show it.

Therefore, he adopted the strategy of "one bug is a bug, a bunch of bugs can work".

If you are full of flaws, then it is the same as having no flaws.

Just then.

"Thump, thump, thump."

A knock came at the door.

Wu Minmin stood up, walked over and opened the door. Standing outside was the old man with gray hair who lived next door.

He was carrying a red plastic bag, his face filled with guilt and unease: "Um... is Xiaobai home?"

Uncle Er peered inside and immediately spotted Wu Bai sitting on the sofa, wrapping bandages around his neck. He slapped his thigh and raised his voice.

"Oh, Xiaobai, I'm so sorry."

"Grandpa is really getting senile. My eyesight is bad. I was riding my old tricycle late at night and still managed to knock you over downstairs."

"I feel really bad about this. I just went to the supermarket and bought some apples. You have to accept them, otherwise I won't be able to sleep tonight."

Wu Bai quickly stood up from the sofa and greeted him politely, his acting skills appearing completely natural.

"Uncle, you're too kind. It's just a minor injury. We're all neighbors, there's really no need for this."

"Take it, take it, or I'll get really angry." Uncle Er insisted on stuffing the apple into Wu Bai's arms.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries at the door before the second uncle turned and left.

As the door closed, Wu Bai sighed inwardly, "These days, even Hypergryphal has a tough time. To get home, you have to find an old man to stage an accident for you."

Ye Lan completely let down her guard.

"Okay, it seems like a coincidence, but it's too much of a coincidence, it's outrageous."

She gathered her thoughts and spoke with a serious expression:

"Brother Minmin, a battle between high-level awakened beings broke out in the west of the city tonight. The world is getting more and more turbulent."

"On the way back just now, I discussed it with Minmin, and we're planning to move you all to my house."

"That's a villa area with a dedicated Awakened Guardian Team stationed there. The security level is very high, so it's quite safe."

"no."

Without even thinking, Wu Bai immediately refused.

Although I knew it was probably my sister who was worried about my safety, this was simply a joke.

I?

Hyper Zetton?

Go live with a sixth-tier awakened person who possesses the Eye of True Sight?

Is this because they think I haven't exposed myself fast enough, or because they think I'm living too comfortably and want to give me some excitement?
