Skinwalker Belle – Chapter 102 – Seeking Help in Jiangcheng

A piercing screech of brakes exploded at the base’s entrance.

Lin Fan flew to the rooftop, her long, silver-white hair fluttering in the night wind.

She looked down at the steaming off-road vehicle below, her rainbow-colored eyes narrowing slightly.

The car door was pushed open.

A man covered in blood staggered out.

He leaned against the car door, gasping for air, his chest heaving violently.

The base’s guards immediately raised their guns.

“Halt!”

“Don’t move!”

Liu Qiang raised his hands, his face as pale as a dead man’s.

He opened his mouth, his voice so hoarse it was barely audible.

“I… I’m looking for Lei Jie…”

The guards exchanged glances.

Just then.

A silver-white figure drifted down from the rooftop.

Her long white dress fanned out in the air, like a blooming lotus flower.

Lin Fan landed slowly.

The tips of her fair, delicate feet touched the ground without a sound.

The guards subconsciously took a step back, their eyes filled with awe.

Liu Qiang looked up and saw the silver-white figure.

He was stunned.

The woman before him had long, silver-white hair, rainbow-colored eyes, and features so exquisite they didn’t seem human.

Her beauty almost made him forget to breathe.

But the contours of that face…

Liu Qiang’s pupils contracted violently.

“Lei… Lei Jie?”

His voice was filled with disbelief.

Lin Fan walked up to him, the hem of her white dress sweeping lightly across the ground.

“Old Liu.”

Her voice was soft, yet it carried an undeniable authority.

“Why are you here?”

Liu Qiang’s lips trembled.

He stared at Lin Fan, his eyes flashing with shock and confusion, which finally melted into desperate pleading.

It was her.

Although her hair had changed, her eyes had changed, and her aura had become even more aloof and untouchable.

But that face, that presence, was definitely Lei Li.

“Lei Jie…”

Liu Qiang’s voice choked up.

“Save… save Brother Jie…”

His legs gave out, and he fell to his knees.

“The industrial park… is under attack…”

“Mao Shi… and Chen Jinlong… the two of them… they came together…”

“Brother Jie is alone… he can’t beat them…”

Lin Fan’s brow twitched slightly.

She knew Mao Shi.

Chen Jinlong?

The third of Jiangcheng’s three Level 3 Evolved beings?

“What is Chen Jinlong’s ability?”

Lin Fan’s voice was calm, without the slightest ripple.

Liu Qiang gritted his teeth and spoke with difficulty.

“Metal manipulation…”

“He can control all metals…”

“Our guns… they were all useless…”

“The bullets… he controlled them… before they even left the barrel…”

“He even turned them back against us…”

A flash of understanding appeared in Lin Fan’s eyes.

Metal manipulation.

Tricky indeed.

No wonder Zhang Jie couldn’t hold out.

“Mao Shi and Chen Jinlong teamed up, and Zhang Jie couldn’t handle it?”

Lin Fan’s tone held a hint of amusement.

Liu Qiang’s eyes reddened.

“Brother Jie… to cover our retreat… he stayed behind alone…”

“When I left… he was already covered in blood…”

“Lei Jie…”

He looked up, his eyes full of entreaty.

“Didn’t you say before that you were our ally?”

“I’m begging you… please save Brother Jie…”

Lin Fan watched him quietly.

A few seconds of silence passed.

Liu Qiang’s heart sank lower and lower.

Just as he thought she was about to refuse, Lin Fan spoke.

“Ah Hu.”

Her voice wasn’t loud, but it carried clearly throughout the entire base.

Ah Hu rushed out of the main building, followed by Zhou Ming.

“Lei Jie!”

Lin Fan turned to look at Ah Hu.

“I’m going to Jiangcheng.”

“I’m leaving the base’s defense to you.”

Ah Hu froze for a moment, then nodded heavily.

“Yes!”

Lin Fan’s gaze fell on Zhou Ming.

“You, come with me.”

A flicker of excitement flashed in Zhou Ming’s eyes.

“Yes!”

Kneeling on the ground, Liu Qiang felt hope rekindle in his eyes.

Lin Fan walked up to him and held out a hand.

“Get up.”

Liu Qiang paused, then quickly grabbed her fair, slender hand.

The next second, an invisible force enveloped his body.

He felt his feet leave the ground.

“What…”

Before Liu Qiang could finish his sentence, he saw Zhou Ming floating up as well.

Immediately after, Lin Fan’s body slowly ascended.

Her Mental Strength, like a great, invisible hand, lifted the three of them.

Liu Qiang looked down at the ground.

The base’s buildings and the figures of the guards grew smaller and smaller.

They rose to a height of a hundred meters.

“Lei Jie… this…”

Liu Qiang’s voice trembled.

Lin Fan didn’t answer.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

The next second, her Mental Strength erupted.

An invisible force field formed around her body.

The field enveloped Liu Qiang and Zhou Ming, shielding them from the impact of the airflow.

Lin Fan opened her eyes.

A sharp glint flashed in her rainbow-colored irises.

“Hold on tight.”

The moment her voice fell, she transformed into a silver-white streak of light.

“Boom!”

A sonic boom exploded in the night sky.

Liu Qiang’s vision blurred.

The surrounding scenery turned into a hazy stream of light and shadow.

He wanted to speak but found he couldn’t make a sound.

The terrifying speed made it impossible for him to even breathe.

Fortunately, Lin Fan’s Mental Strength shielded him from all impact.

Otherwise, at this speed, he would have long been knocked unconscious by the violent airflow.

Zhou Ming, on the other hand, was so excited his face was flushed.

He could feel that Lei Jie’s speed had already surpassed the speed of sound.

Was this Lei Jie’s power?

So strong!

In the night sky, a silver-white streak of light tore through the darkness.

Wherever it passed, the air let out a sharp whistle.

The buildings on the ground flashed by like a slideshow in reverse.

Eight minutes.

A mere eight minutes.

Lin Fan had brought the two of them from Hangcheng, across two hundred kilometers, to Jiangcheng.

She hovered in mid-air, looking down at the city below.

“Where?”

Lin Fan’s voice sounded in Liu Qiang’s ear.

Liu Qiang struggled to raise a hand, pointing toward the north of the city.

“The industrial park…”

Lin Fan’s gaze followed the direction he was pointing.

Her Mental Strength instantly swept out.

Soon, she found the industrial park.

And within it, three powerful energy fluctuations.

A cold arc formed on Lin Fan’s lips.

“Found them.”

The next second, the silver-white streak of light accelerated once more, heading straight for the industrial park.

Inside the industrial park, the scene was one of utter devastation.

Collapsed buildings and burning fires were everywhere.

The acrid smell of gunpowder filled the air.

Zhang Jie was half-kneeling on the ground, his longsword propping up his body.

His face was pale, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

His clothes were stained red with blood.

In front of him, Mao Shi grinned, his face full of smug satisfaction.

“Junior Brother, you’re going to die here today.”

“You have only yourself to blame for being so stupid.”

“Still thinking about saving those useless weaklings in the apocalypse.”

He raised his fist, a bronze luster flowing over his skin.

And behind Mao Shi, a slender man stood with his hands behind his back, watching everything with a detached air.

Chen Jinlong.

Dozens of metal blades floated around him.

The blades circled him like obedient pets.

“Mao Shi, stop wasting time.”

Chen Jinlong’s voice was calm.

“Finish him. We still have to divide up the resources here.”

Mao Shi nodded.

“Right.”

He took a step toward Zhang Jie.

“Goodbye, Junior Brother.”

Zhang Jie gritted his teeth, trying to stand up.

But his body had already reached its limit.

Just then, a blinding white light descended from the sky.

“Boom!”

A massive shockwave sent Mao Shi flying.

The expression on Chen Jinlong’s face changed instantly.

He looked up at the sky.

A silver-white figure slowly emerged from the light.

Lin Fan hovered in mid-air, her long white dress fluttering in the wind.

She looked down at the three men below, her rainbow-colored eyes devoid of any emotion.

“Beating up my ally.”

Her voice was soft.

“Did you ask for my permission?”
