However, Ling's furious roar had no effect whatsoever. It did not affect the two cowards who had made up their minds to hide until the end in this dangerous environment.
She watched the two cowards sprint toward the rooftop while shamelessly sweeping up huge piles of potato chips, cola, and all kinds of snacks.
Power Bank trembled with rage!
After a long silence, Ling's loli-like voice rang out viciously through gritted teeth!
"I was planning to let you experience life and death later, but I've changed my mind now!!"
"You coward, this time I'll definitely make you die at least once!"
Then Ling floated up. Instead of chasing after the two of them, she flew in another direction.
On the rooftop of the building, two furtive figures appeared on the terrace carrying large bags of snacks.
Meng Lang locked the only small door from the inside, breathed a sigh of relief, and gave Fang Ran a thumbs-up.
"Bro, we're safe now!"
Then he saw Fang Ran already sitting by the railing, digging through his favorite potato chips.
"Hey, damn it, leave some for me!"
Meng Lang hurriedly joined him. The two sat on the steps near the edge of the rooftop, looking at the bustling city lights in the night.
"Bro, when are those people down there going to finish?"
Fang Ran asked as he bit into a ham sausage.
"Hey, don't worry. This kind of scene is a pretty rare reward scene in a Night Battle. It definitely won't last long. I figure the fighting will last less than an hour."
Meng Lang pulled out another bottle of yogurt and gulped it down.
"Oh, I see."
Fang Ran looked at the Black Shadows that occasionally appeared below, the street not far away where Thunderlight ran wild, and the far-off places where who knew how many people were fighting.
Then, just as the two of them were hiding out and watching the show, it seemed the Night Battle did not want them to be too comfortable.
The electric light on the distant street began to move, seemingly chasing something. It actually pursued its target all the way to the plaza beneath their building!
"Holy shit! Bro, were we discovered?"
"No! Calm down, bro. Look, the owner of that electric light is clearly hunting someone else."
Meng Lang said with a serious expression, then began analyzing the situation as though to make himself seem professional.
"Look, whoever can unleash this kind of electrical ability definitely isn't low-ranked, and that ability has to be a Tech Side branch of Abilities. This elec—holy shit!!!"
Before he could finish his incoherent analysis, the figure casually wielding electrical light emerged from the various metals she had drawn in and manipulated with electricity.
After seeing what that person looked like, Meng Lang nearly sprayed out his yogurt and cursed aloud.
"Damn, bro, you almost sprayed me! What is it!?" Fang Ran was startled too, but before he could stick his head out to look, Meng Lang hurriedly pulled him back and explained.
"Don't peek out, bro. That person down there is an official genius! B-Rank!"
"Oh, oh, oh!!"
Fang Ran nodded, impressed despite not understanding, wearing an expression that said, "I understand the stakes." But if he had been at the ruins of the previous building, he would have recognized her.
She was one of the people from the last scene!
"Bro, don't think she's not impressive. Compared to E-Rank trash like us, she could wipe us both out with a casual bolt of lightning. But that's not even the most important part!"
"Then what's the most important part!?"
Fang Ran looked shocked. That was not important?
"The most important part..."
Meng Lang said with a complicated expression full of envy, jealousy, and resentment.
"Didn't you notice her ability is electricity? Electricity! Think about it—what doesn't use electricity nowadays? Even human nerve signals involve positive and negative electrical signals!"
"With an ability this insanely powerful and ridiculously high-potential, do you know how bright her future is?"
"Cough, bro."
Seeing the terrified look on his face, Fang Ran could not help exposing him.
"You didn't offend her somewhere, did you?"
"Uh..."
As if his weakness had been caught at once, Meng Lang froze. Then he rubbed his hands together and laughed awkwardly.
"How could that be...?"
"Hey!!!! Heroine down there, Meng Lang is—mmph!"
The moment Fang Ran heard Meng Lang deny it, he opened his mouth to shout.
Meng Lang panicked and covered his mouth. Seeing Fang Ran's expression clearly say, I'm really curious. If you won't tell me, I'll shout, he helplessly began to explain.
Sigh. Who would have thought this seemingly honest little bro had such a heart-piercing personality?
"Well, actually, I only... only slightly interfered with her love life."
Meng Lang explained bashfully, but then he immediately put on a righteous expression.
"Although I know what I did was pretty scummy, as a member of the FFF Group, I had no choice but to do it!"
Fang Ran: "..."
Bro, that fucking reason for ruining your karma makes me really want to hand you over right now.
"Hey! Look, it seems they've decided the winner down there. That guy is obviously no match for her."
As if trying to shift the awkward topic, Meng Lang pointed at the battle below.
On the plaza street below the building, electric light spread in winding, ferocious arcs like flood dragons, ripping up the ground and streets as it went. The person fighting it seemed far from ordinary as well.
Golden light flashed around his fists, looking extremely powerful, but unfortunately, he simply could not get close.
"Thunderlight!"
The young girl flicked her right hand, lashing a bolt of electricity at him like a whip. The man was greatly alarmed, though not particularly panicked. He pushed off with both legs, intending to leap backward and dodge.
Then he suddenly realized in shock that he could not move at all!
"Magnetic Field!?"
The man guessed in surprise. Then a ring of electricity appeared beneath his feet, and electric light shot fiercely into the Cloud Vault!
Crackle!
A thin bolt of electricity flashed past, streaking right in front of Fang Ran and Meng Lang on the rooftop!
Fang Ran and Meng Lang stiffly turned their necks to look at each other. Just now, they seemed to have smelled the rooftop edge's billboard being scorched by high-voltage electricity.
After eliminating that person, the young girl seemed rather bored. She did not immediately go hunt the E-Rank fodder wandering nearby.
Meng Lang and Fang Ran continued hiding on the rooftop. This time, they did not even dare eat snacks, silently waiting for the person below to leave.
Bro, what do we do? Why hasn't she left yet?
Fang Ran shot Meng Lang a meaningful look.
Wait a little longer. She'll definitely leave!
Meng Lang returned a look of his own.
Damn, bro, do we really have to talk with our eyes? We look like idiots.
Fang Ran looked at Meng Lang in confusion.
Bro, hold steady. B-Rank Ability users are all highly sensitive and alert. We absolutely cannot be discovered.
Determination flashed in Meng Lang's eyes as he responded to Fang Ran.
Of course, all of the above conversation existed only in their imaginations. In reality, the two cowards had been scared stiff by that last move.
They were simply staring wide-eyed at each other on the rooftop, completely motionless.
However, perhaps heaven had finally opened its eyes and did not want these two bastards to hide until the end, or perhaps fate was simply unpredictable and never followed one's wishes. Just as the two remained frozen in place—
A sudden change erupted in the plaza street below!
Dense Black Mist rose from the ground out of nowhere, growing thicker and thicker!
On the ground, Qing Ning, who had been casually sitting at the platform to rest, softly murmured, "Huh?"
Then, beside the ears of Fang Ran, Meng Lang, and every other participant, the system's familiar voice suddenly rang out!
"Ding! The final target, E-49, has been deployed!"
