Chapter 260

His face no longer held its previous laziness and casualness, but instead showed unprecedented seriousness and regret.

A look of struggle flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a ruthless glint.

"Sorry, Captain Zhou, this is my task!"

After saying that, he took a chip out of his pocket and popped it into his mouth.

"Beep beep!"

Faintly, Shen Xing heard a slight electrical hum.

At the same time, a destructive aura emanated from his body.

This Xiao Xiao chip is actually a bomb, and it looks quite powerful.

Clearly, seeing his sneak attack fail, this guy wanted to use his body to drag Shen Xing, who was standing next to him, to die together in the explosion!

Just as that destructive wave was about to erupt, Zhou Zheng stretched out his right hand and clenched it in the air.

The next second, he actually held the chip between his two fingers.

Then, he casually tossed it behind him.

"Boom!!!"

The chip exploded in mid-air, sending up a ball of flame four or five meters in diameter, with waves of heat sweeping outwards.

The middle-aged man stood there dumbfounded, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

Even Shen Xing, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but look at Zhou Zheng's right hand, which still had a faint mist on it.

"Don't struggle in vain. Your methods are useless against me."

Zhou Zheng looked at him calmly. "Be a good boy and come back with me to face the bureau's interrogation."

The middle-aged man also came to his senses at this moment and said sternly, "Captain Zhou, don't force me!"

"This mission has failed. I'm sure I won't survive. For my child's sake, please let me die!"

"Otherwise... otherwise I'll blow that kid up!"

As he finished speaking, another black device appeared in his hand, with a red button on it.

"You mean the bomb in that package?"

Zhou Zheng glanced at it indifferently, too lazy to even make a move. "He's not that stupid to hold something so dangerous in his hands."

The middle-aged man was stunned again. He turned his head and saw that the package in the other person's hand had disappeared.

The young man in the wheelchair shrugged and smiled at him.

The middle-aged man, having lost some of his skills, was numb and collapsed to the ground, crying like a child.

Shortly after, a group of special operations team members dressed in bulletproof vests and black uniforms quickly arrived.

Unlike ordinary guards, they exuded a powerful aura and carried various real weapons.

A young man stepped forward and bowed respectfully. "Minister, please give your instructions!"

Zhou Zheng nodded and ordered, "Tie this guy up and take him away. Then clean up the scene and strengthen security around the area."

"Yes!"

The uniformed officers immediately stepped forward, took out specially made handcuffs that were thicker and larger, and tied up the middle-aged man's hands and feet.

Then they carried him into the armored vehicle next to them.

Zhou Zheng turned around and looked at the young man in the wheelchair. "I'm sorry, Shen Xing, we didn't expect there to be a mole in Jiangcheng as well."

"We'll interrogate you when we get back, and we'll give you an explanation for this."

Chapter 176: The Dragon Hatches, Gorehowl Evolves Again

Shen Xing wanted to say that it wasn't actually that serious.

This guy only damaged his own iron gate from start to finish; all he needs to do is fix it.

Of course, an interrogation is still necessary; at the very least, we need to find out who the mastermind is and whether there are any other accomplices.

"Okay, thank you for your help Captain Zhou." Shen Xing nodded.

Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "You should go back and rest. We'll handle things here."

Shen Xing didn't say anything more, turned around and went back home, closing the door behind him.

Soon after, the sounds of sweeping and the installation of the gate could be heard outside.

He leaned back in his wheelchair, pondering what had just happened.

"Based on Onyxia's intelligence, the organization that sent this middle-aged man to attack me is likely an assassin from the 'Razor Association'."

"I never imagined their infiltration capabilities were so terrifying; they even bribed, or rather, controlled, the people inside Jiangcheng."

"Looks like I need to be more careful. I'll have to be Mind's Eye of even government officials from now on."

"Zhou Zheng reacted quite quickly, though. Could it be that he's been protecting me nearby all along?"

Shen Xing pondered these thoughts, then returned to the sofa, preparing to log back into the Land of Mist.

This attack was just a minor incident and wouldn't affect his rhythm at all.

Just then, my phone started buzzing in my pocket.

On the Green Bubble app, Yu Feifei sent a message.

She and Her Cat: "I heard you were attacked?"

Shen Xing was somewhat surprised and asked in confusion, "How did you know?"

"I saw it in the neighborhood group chat," Yu Feifei replied. "Those people said there was an explosion by the river, and the Anomaly Operations Bureau came too, so I guessed it was you."

"By the way, how's my Duoduo? Did I scare her?"

Shen Xing was speechless. "I thought you came to check on me."

Yu Feifei sent an emoji. "You still need someone to care about you? You've already farmed Tier Three materials, you're probably about to break through to Expert level, right?"

Shen Xing narrowed his eyes instantly. "How did you know I got some Tier Three materials?"

He hadn't told Yu Feifei about this; besides Qin Lang and Xu Jiayi, only a handful of people knew about it.

There was a moment of silence on the other end before a reply came, "I found it on the website. Don't underestimate Sister Feifei's intelligence capabilities!"

"Really?" Shen Xing was somewhat skeptical.

"Of course," Yu Feifei insisted.

Then she changed the subject, saying, "By the way, I'll be back tomorrow, aren't you happy?"

"Happy," Shen Xing replied. "Hurry up and pick up your cat, or you'll have to pay extra for overtime."

"Hmph, all you ever think about is adding money." Yu Feifei was speechless. "I sent you so many photos, and you didn't even thank me!"

Shen Xing calmly replied, "One thing at a time. The photos are a matter of friendship, while the Soul Stone are an exchange of benefits."

Seeing his behavior of clearly separating public and private matters, Yu Feifei was so angry that she bombarded him with a bunch of emojis.

Shen Xing happily turned off her phone and looked towards the window in the lobby.

The creamy white kitten was lying on the windowsill, lazily basking in the sun.

After a moment's thought, he looked away and closed his eyes.

"Buzz..."

The scene before my eyes changed instantly.

The roaring light from the Bonfire rushed towards us, accompanied by several system notifications.

[Your territory buildings: Level 2 residential buildings have been upgraded.]

[Your territory building: Basic toilet has been completed]

[Your unit: Shadow Dragon has hatched]

[Your...]

"Oh? The first Shadow Dragon has hatched?"

Shen Xing was immediately overjoyed.

Then, without waiting, he propelled the wheelchair forward, shooting off like an arrow.

They soon arrived at the outer city, near the Dragon's Nest in the west.

Before I even got close, I heard a clear cracking sound, as if something was hatching.

Through the gaps in the dragon's skeleton, you could see a wet baby dragon standing in the middle of a pile of eggshells, its eyes filled with confusion.

At that moment, a dense surge of dark energy rose from the depths of the dragon's nest and poured into the young dragon's body.

The young dragon began to expand rapidly, its skin grew layers of scales, and its claws became even sharper.

The next second, a pair of cold, vertical pupils lit up in the darkness, carrying an innate majesty.

A colossal creature, three or four meters tall and with a wingspan exceeding six meters, stepped out of its lair.

Its thick, powerful claws were like cast iron, its heavy scales resembled pieces of crystal, and its entire body exuded a dense aura of darkness.

This size is already quite large compared to other flying creatures, but compared to Pureblood Dragon, it's still a mere child.

"Come."

Shen Xing greeted him.

The Shadow Dragon tilted its head, its gaze falling on the human, a look of kindness flashing in its eyes.

Then, with heavy steps, he swayed as he approached the wheelchair and lowered his proud dragon head.

Shen Xing reached out and touched its head, feeling a cold, hard texture.

Hmm... the feel isn't great.

The Shadow Dragon let out a comfortable growl, seemingly enjoying itself.

"Woo... Roar..." The dragon shook its head and even changed its angle so he could stroke it.

Shen Xing smiled, then opened its panel and glanced at its attributes.
