Chapter 262: To Do the Unthinkable, One Must First Be Unthinkable
Although the extraordinary beasts near Fulan chose to bypass them, the surrounding extraordinary beasts remained largely unaffected.
Soon, a peculiar scene unfolded: Fulan, along with her subordinates, provocatively prepared for battle, but the nearby extraordinary beasts paid them little heed and instead raced toward the distant dense forest on the horizon.
Fulan, feeling frustrated and somewhat embarrassed, waved her front paw to signal her teammates to head toward Hope City—if they’re avoiding me, then I’ll go myself!
The other extraordinary beasts naturally had no objections; they were already incensed by the cowardice of those beasts and, unafraid of Hope City, pressed forward without hesitation.
Their lack of fear toward Hope City was largely due to Fulan’s slideshow.
Through Fulan’s relentless efforts, the extraordinary beasts had been fed the first "pancake" of promises through her presentations and persuasive speeches.
In Fulan’s local network discussions, Hope City had been painted as a heavenly paradise for members of the Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult—a promised land overflowing with dragon fruit and blueberries.
How could they possibly fear a place that resembled paradise?
Yet, whether due to the extraordinary beasts’ limited understanding or Fulan’s own misconceptions, they failed to realize that such a paradise, much like the horizon, could be seen but never truly reached…
On the city wall, many soldiers watched in awe as a few extraordinary beasts charged against the beast tide and attacked their own kind.
The situation was quickly reported to the city defense officer in charge of that section of the wall.
“This is truly bizarre…”
After glancing through the binoculars, a mysterious smile curled at the corners of the city defense officer’s lips:
“Xiao Liu, doesn’t this distance seem rather close?”
“Report: It’s well within our attack range.”
“Good. Let’s treat these extraordinary beasts to something special.”
The soldier named Xiao Liu said nothing more and began adjusting the firing angle.
Thirty seconds later, accompanied by the roar of flames, several-meter-long metal pillars soared into the distance.
In the regulations of Hope City, conservation was a guiding principle.
Everything had to be economical, everything had to be done with caution—this was an unshakable truth.
From this perspective, the city defense officer shouldn’t have fired rockets while the extraordinary beasts were retreating.
However, he cleverly informed the Surveillance Room in advance, directing dozens of surveillance cameras toward Fulan’s location.
This way, the cost of the rockets could be justified as research into extraordinary beast behavior rather than mere wasteful spending.
Below the city wall, Fulan was confidently stirring up trouble when suddenly her eyelids twitched.
She looked up at the sky and saw fiery objects hurtling toward her.
“Run for it!”
Though she lacked detailed knowledge, Fulan had a general idea of what those things were.
Her command quickly reached the ears of every subordinate.
Despite not understanding the situation, they blindly trusted her and immediately obeyed.
The four extraordinary beasts abandoned their ongoing battles and, under Fulan’s lead, fled.
However, the direction they chose to run differed from that of the other extraordinary beasts.
No joke, the extraordinary beasts could choose to return to the dense forest, but at this moment, they simply couldn’t go back.
This was quite reasonable; normal Fleeing Soldiers could potentially regroup to fight again, but those who hadn’t fired a single shot from beginning to end… sorry, just borrowing a few things.
Long before Fulan decided to expand the Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult, she had resolved not to venture into the dense forest for a while.
After some time, she would choose another direction and alter her aura, believing that with her abilities, she could continue to fulfill the tasks entrusted to her by Lin Qingliu.
So now, where should the Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult go?
Fulan set her sights on the open space between Hope City and the dense forest, deciding to transform it into the headquarters of the Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult.
It must be said that there were almost no hills or small mountains around Hope City; the majority of the area was a vast, endless wilderness, reminiscent of a super flat game that Lin Qingliu had played in his previous life.
As the members of the Meow Meow Teach drew closer to the city wall, dark gun barrels aimed at them.
Once they reached the range where firing was permitted, the First Level extraordinary beasts would quickly experience a surge of trace elements in their bodies.
Such a dramatic scene caused the superpowered individuals, who had initially planned to retreat, to halt in their tracks and look toward Fulan and the other extraordinary beasts.
Fortunately, Fresnel was not on the city wall today; otherwise, true to his nature, he would have already used the sunset to perform chest surgeries on the backbone of the Meow Meow Teach.
Shi Jin was among the onlookers, but unlike the others, who were shocked, she wore a look of confusion—
that gray dot standing on the head of the three wolves looked strangely familiar.
"Stop!"
Fulan commanded the extraordinary beasts to stand still, proudly positioning herself on the head of the three wolves.
Watching the terrifying weapons aimed at her, Fulan activated her Illusion Ability, creating a red banner with yellow text in the surrounding air.
The banner unfurled directly, boldly stating in bold, equidistant letters:
“Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult Extraordinary Beast Uprising!”
Shi Jin on the city wall suddenly felt her vision darken, as if her blood pressure shot up instantly.
She tightly gripped Wang Xiao’s arm beside her, and with his strong support, she steadied herself.
Thinking that Wang Xiao might also be a member of her organization, Shi Jin cast him a hopeful glance.
She didn’t quite know what kind of hint she wanted from Wang Xiao; she just felt that the current developments exceeded the capacity of the human brain to process. The usually indecisive girl needed a little help.
“Are you okay? Did you overuse your ability?”
Wang Xiao, embodying the convincing adult Captain role, spoke with a calmness akin to that of a wise older brother in a literary work.
Shi Jin observed him for a while but found no signs of him hinting at anything, so she reluctantly lowered her head and murmured,
“I’m fine, just feel like my brain is in shock.”
“Yeah, same here.”
Wang Xiao replied expressionlessly.
Just because he had a more reserved personality didn’t mean he wouldn’t sincerely express wonder upon witnessing something extraordinary.
Although the educational model in Hope City constantly diversifies, it still places great importance on basic education, with illiteracy being nearly nonexistent and the semi-illiteracy rate controlled to below one in a thousand.
On the city wall, whether they were superpowered individuals, soldiers, or the observers behind the surveillance cameras, everyone was witnessing this shocking scene.
“What is happening…”
Two observers exchanged glances:
“Is this real?”
“It can’t be, right?”
“Then report it to the higher-ups!”
In the observation room, above the city wall… dozens of staff responsible for recording and reporting quickly became busy.
