Invincible Copy System
Chapter Summary
He knew very well that he was using up all his strength, and if he couldn't recover, he probably wouldn't be able to escape today. He climbed up the elevator and saw that he had reached the 200th floor, knowing that he was far enough away from Liu Ning and the others, so he rushed out of the elevator with a whoosh. Liu Ning's elevator had already reached its maximum speed, while Zhao Wudi used his mental power to push himself up.
Watanabe Taro finally couldn't hold on any longer. Staying in the elevator would do him no good. He knew very well that he was using up all his strength, and if he couldn't recover, he probably wouldn't be able to escape today. Just look at the situation outside: besides Liu Ning, there was Zhao Wudi, and all the soldiers were wearing heavy equipment. He could handle one or two squads, but if there were too many, he wouldn't be of much use. So he had to find a new way out. He climbed up the elevator and saw that he had reached the 200th floor, knowing that he was far enough away from Liu Ning and the others, so he rushed out of the elevator with a whoosh.
Watanabe Taro burst into a house, only to be met with a hunting rifle—a large-caliber double-barreled one at that. Those inside had either retreated or, if they hadn't, heard the announcement outside instructing them to be on guard. The announcement warned them that if anyone entered, they could use any weapon at their disposal. Most people living on the ground were relatively well-off. Seeing a monster rush in, the old man, without hesitation, pulled the trigger of his hunting rifle. Unfortunately, the weapon posed little danger to Watanabe Taro; in fact, it might have injured him. Even so, Watanabe Taro didn't harm the old man. He immediately leaped out of the window, knowing he didn't even have time to kill anyone.
The sounds from upstairs reached Liu Ning's ears. He knew it was something that happened in the elevator. When Liu Ning arrived, he saw the old man trembling as he said he had discovered a monster, but he didn't say anything else. Liu Ning was about to chase after him when he realized that the ground beneath his feet was like mud. These things must have been left behind by Watanabe Taro. These things absolutely could not be left behind, so Liu Ning immediately ordered his soldiers to come up and collect all these materials. He also demanded that at least two soldiers do this job. It wasn't that he didn't trust them, but if these things were left behind, it would be a catastrophe for all of humanity. These things could enhance people's strength, but it was based on the lives of ordinary people. They absolutely could not be left behind.
"Sir, the guy is no longer in the elevator. Should we continue the search?"
No one knows where this guy has gone, but the one thing is certain is that the elevator lobby is empty. All the elevator doors were opened just now, and everyone was calling out to each other as they went up and down. If this guy can still hide in the elevator lobby, he's definitely a genius. So, everyone is unsure whether to continue the search. There are still many civilians in the building. Liu Ning nodded, instructing them to continue the search. Liu Ning knew very well that in this situation, they had to evacuate these civilians. He was quick enough earlier; otherwise, the old man with the hunting rifle would have died in his own home. They needed to minimize casualties.
In addition, many soldiers brought special instruments, which they installed in various parts of the building. They had already sensed that the mutated creature's breathing was different from theirs, so these instruments were for collecting special sounds. If the sound was made by a human, the instruments would not give any warning, but if it was made by a special creature, the instruments would sound an alarm, and then they would know where it was. This was also to further compress Watanabe Taro's living space. Now, humanity had used all its capabilities to see if they could capture this guy. If they couldn't capture him, he would become a threat to the area, which was Liu Ning's biggest worry.
Liu Ning was also puzzled. As someone with a system, he should be able to easily find the other party if they were within his observation range. Unfortunately, he hadn't found anything. Liu Ning had never experienced this situation before. Could it be that these mutated people weren't human at all? Was that why the system had no choice? If the system could appear, Liu Ning would have captured this guy long ago. Zhao Wudi had also searched with his mental power for a long time, but unfortunately, he found nothing. This also showed that the system and mental power weren't omnipotent. When encountering such situations, one had to rely on one's eyes. This was the first time Liu Ning had adopted a skeptical approach towards the system. In the past, he had completely believed in it. He really didn't know what had happened recently.
Moreover, Liu Ning didn't dare release his mental energy at this moment. Zhao Wudi was strolling around nearby, and even a little mental energy would be felt. Liu Ning also wanted to know what Zhao Wudi was thinking. Zhao Wudi was an excellent mentalist, and if he didn't use his mental energy, his combat power would probably decrease. Over 90% of Zhao Wudi was used to using his mental energy. In fact, he was also full of questions. Why hadn't he noticed that guy in the elevator shaft? Was there something wrong with his mental energy? Liu Ning wanted to explain, but thinking that there might be more to explain later, he decided to keep quiet. Anyway, Zhao Wudi was experienced and wouldn't break down so easily.
"Sir, someone has called the police on the 774th floor..."
Just as everyone was searching, Liu Ning heard this sound in his earpiece. Liu Ning couldn't care less about anything else at that moment and immediately rushed into the elevator. Zhao Wudi went up directly from outside. Their speeds were roughly the same. Liu Ning's elevator had already reached its maximum speed, while Zhao Wudi used his mental power to push himself up. How exactly did Watanabe Taro get up there? The elevator didn't move at all. Could it be that he also possessed mental power like Zhao Wudi? If so, this would be the most terrifying thing for humanity. It's already so difficult to deal with; if he had mental power, none of us would be able to handle him. Even if Zhao Wudi and Liu Ning joined forces, they wouldn't be a match for him.
