I started out playing Saitama, and now I'm One-Punch Man?

"Hello everyone, I am Li Xingxu, the captain of Team Three of the Superpower Alliance."

next morning.

The Superpower Alliance held a press conference regarding the events of last night.

"I'm sure everyone already knows what happened last night."

"I'd like to add something here."

"Our former hero, Chen Zhong, who was expelled from the team, carried out a mission to harm the newly promoted hero last night because he joined the Black Life organization."

"Fortunately, I arrived at the scene in time after receiving the news and prevented this tragedy from happening."

"But since the opponent was a Diamond-level hero, I had to take it seriously at the time."

"I sincerely apologize for the huge ditch that I created in the fields outside the city at that time."

"We are also willing to accept punishment and do our best to compensate the villagers for their losses."

The press conference was about Qi Yu.

So it gained a huge number of clicks shortly after it was released.

"So, the immense power that erupted at that time was actually a result of Captain Li Xingxu's intervention?"

"I knew it! I saw it clearly in the live stream. That bald Qi Yu was being chased all over the place. How could he suddenly unleash such tremendous power? It turns out it was Captain Li Xingxu."

"Holy crap, that scared me. I thought he was just a newly promoted ordinary hero who could instantly kill someone with diamond-level strength."

"I feel so much better now. It's good that it's not his strength, otherwise, as a superhuman, I would be so jealous."

"I guessed it long ago. Back then, many people said it was Qi Yu's strength, but now they've been proven wrong."

Office on the 23rd floor of Tianlan Building.

After watching the press conference of the Superpower Alliance, Wu Haifeng breathed a sigh of relief.

"You scared me! I thought this year's new hero would be this freakish."

Wei Gao, standing next to him, also looked relieved.

A relaxed smile curved at the corners of his mouth.

"Actually, I had a pretty good idea of ​​what would happen if Li Xingxu made the move."

"Looking back now, it was pretty much what I guessed."

At this point, a question arose in my mind.

He looked at Wu Haifeng and asked, "If that wasn't his actual ability, is there any need for the higher-ups to try and win him over?"

"Even if yesterday's earth-shattering display of power wasn't unleashed by Qi Yu, the fact that Li Xingxu would take action for him suggests that Qi Yu must possess considerable strength."

Wu Haifeng pondered: "If the higher-ups can really bring him into the organization, it will only benefit us, Hei Sheng, and not harm us."

"Since that's what they've said, we don't need to ask any further questions about this matter."

"Right now, let's worry about ourselves."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh.

"I wonder how far those guys from the Superpower Alliance have interrogated that kid Zhou Kai."

...

Superpower Alliance.

Ding! !

The elevator doors slowly opened in the cell on the fourth basement level.

Li Xingxu and the other team leaders walked out from inside.

Led by Duan Lang, the head of the shipping city alliance, they headed towards Zhou Kai's cell.

"This kid may be young, but he's incredibly stubborn."

As Duan Lang walked ahead, he said, "No matter how we ask him, he refuses to reveal even the slightest information about the Black Life Organization."

"Old Meng just returned from the United States last night."

"After I told him about the situation, he nodded and agreed without saying a word."

The iron door to cell 404 was open.

The space inside is not very large.

Zhou Kai was leaning against the wall, bound by an iron chain as thick as a thumb.

At this moment, the person's body was limp, as if he had fainted.

Not far from him, an elderly man with silver hair was fast asleep on a stool.

I wonder what he experienced in his dreams.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his brows sometimes relaxed and sometimes furrowed.

About five minutes later, the old man slowly opened his eyes.

He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead.

I picked up the thermos next to me and took a sip without rushing.

"This Black Organization has a grand scheme."

"Mr. Meng, have you understood everything clearly?"

Duan Lang leaned over and asked.

Meng Yan got up from the stool, nodded, and walked out.

"I already know pretty much everything."

"This kid knows quite a bit of inside information because he's the son of a core member of the Black Life Organization."

"Besides knowing from the depths of his heart the numerous strongholds the Black Life Organization has scattered throughout Haiyun City, and their progress in researching human mutations, I also know the Black Life Organization's astonishing plan in Haiyun City!"

"Do you know what they're trying to do?"

While waiting for the elevator, Meng Yan looked at Duan Lang.

Duan Lang saw a hint of fear deep in Meng Yan's eyes.

This made him frown involuntarily.

"What is it?"

"The research on human mutation is merely a prelude; their primary objective is to use the blood of mutated humans to awaken the S-rank zombie king imprisoned beneath the Alliance's underground!"

Meng Yan stepped into the elevator, his tone heavy: "Once the number of mutated humans reaches a certain level, they will launch an attack on several sealed strongholds."

"If our people kill the mutated humanoid monsters, their blood will provide energy to the Corpse King through the sealing array."

"Based on what I've learned from my reconnaissance, they've completed 90% of their accumulation of knowledge about mutated human monsters in recent years."

"If we let this continue unchecked, the number of mutated humanoid monsters will reach their target number within a year."

Fifty years ago, Haiyun City suffered an unprecedented and enormous disaster.

A thousand-year-old mummified corpse was unearthed at a construction site.

The mummified corpse awakens at night and becomes exceptionally powerful by consuming human blood.

In addition, it is very cunning, and by the time the Alliance discovered it, it had already evolved into an S-level threat.

High-level superhumans from all over the country came to provide support.

After several days of arduous struggle, the formation master Liu Changqing finally sealed it underground.

Later, in order to better control the Corpse King.

The Superpower Alliance then built its Haiyun City branch on its head.

The key points of the formation are scattered in various locations.

"How did these members of the Black Organization know that the Corpse King could absorb blood and become stronger through the array's core?"

"And what is their purpose?"

"As fellow human beings, didn't you consider the severity of the consequences?"

Duan Lang frowned, also quite troubled by the matter of the Corpse King.

Meng Yan snorted.

"A bunch of bastards who wish the entire human society would disappear, they don't think about the consequences."

"They would be willing to die just to see the Superpower Alliance destroyed."

He sighed helplessly.

Let's begin answering Duan Lang's first question.

"As for why the Corpse King can absorb blood through the array's core, this kid doesn't have a specific answer either."

"It must be related to the other half of the Corpse King's Scroll."

"Sometimes I even suspect that their research on human mutations was obtained from information found in fragments of documents."

"I will inform you of the addresses of the Black Life Organization's various strongholds and their headquarters shortly."

"If this operation goes smoothly, we should be able to wipe out all the black market strongholds in Haiyun City."

"We'll see then, and see if we can get any information about the other half of the Corpse King's Scroll."
