The Psychic X Apocalypse

Chapter 19 [The Plan of Alves and Lu Feng]

"Hey, are you sure the path is through here?" asked Lu Feng while crouching. Since then he has been scavenging a small hole in the middle of the rubble. But the longer Lu Feng dug deeper, the more he doubted that his junkyard wouldn't last and instead fell on him.

"Did I say there?" alves asked back without caring.

Then Lu Feng turned to Alves with a big question mark as if drawn on his face. "Well, aren't you here?" Lu Feng pointed back at his new dig a third done.

Alves simply threw a glance at Lu Feng's work before focusing on his own excavation that looked stable.

Back again Lu Feng sighed. Although he felt that he had been played with by Alves, Lu Feng had to keep his anger in check and consider Alves's small deeds to be the jokes of young children.

"Ck ck. You act like my little sister. Like a fad and still immature," Lu Feng commented deliberately to heat up Alves.

But Alves did not accept the bait, but instead put his full attention to open the way to the main lobby. His black handkerchief lining his pair of hands is now stamped with dust and small pebbles. On the one hand, Alves had tried to get rid of the pile of material debris without changing the center point, but he now felt hesitant.

Because there is a large closet that inexplicably thrown and trapped at the very top of the tower pile of material.

Previously Alves had also considered whether it was better to climb up and cross it to the main lobby, but the intention had to be reversed given the vulnerability of the tower to pile material to fall.

"Your hand stopped too. You took the wrong path, right? Hence it was better to follow my words-" Suddenly Lu Feng stopped his words. At the same time, Alves also stopped his movements.

Both of them clenched their ears tightly.

Tests, tests, tests.

The sound of loud water droplets rang out in the desolate corridor.

Slowly Lu Feng crawled closer to Alves' side. Lu Fent took out his gun and his finger was ready to pull the trigger. While Alves' right hand grabbed the handle of his sword just in case it was necessary to remove it from the sword sheath.

Tests, tests, tests.

Somehow the sound of water droplets continues to be heard creating a rhythmic pitched. Long in a tense condition, Alves briefly recalled his experience with the ball mutant he met in the elevator.

Don't-don't...? But I should have killed that mutant.

Alves was confused, but the distraction did not diminish his vigilance. Instead Alves became more cautious, waiting for the surprise of the mutants who should have been killed.

With his eyes fixed straight ahead, Lu Feng spoke in a small voice. "You think there's another mutant?" he asked after considering that Alves, who seems to be the occupant of this apartment, was more aware of the existence of mutants in the building.

"Maybe, but I'm not sure the mutant is still alive. I had been-" before"

"Revelation!" Lu Feng shouted then dodged to the side until his back touched the wall. Alves reflexively obeyed Lu Feng's warning by moving in the opposite direction.

The swish!

From the puddle formed from the water droplets, three thin, wrinkled rods sticking out and extending towards Alves and Lu Feng's initial position. If only the two did not immediately get out of the way, now their bodies would be full of wounds due to being pierced by the wrinkled trunk.

When Alves recalled the sound of the water droplets just now and the familiar bar prick attack, Alves instantly realized how dangerous the situation was now. He then moved to pull Lu Feng's arm into one of the nearby rooms, taking advantage of the situation at a time when the mutant ball was still in the shape of water.

After the door closed, Alves did not waste much time telling Lu Feng about his experience in the elevator.

"The "mutant needed time to mold its body into a ball that could fly through the air. He usually attacks by removing a number of rods like the one before with a very sharp tip. The last time the mutant had pulled out at most nine sticks," Alves said in a rapid rhythm.

"Wait, wait. You ever fought him?" Lu Feng instantly grasped an important point from Alves' explanation.

Alves nodded. "I've rather destroyed it. I made sure the mutant was supposed to be dead, but somehow now he shows up again" he replied.

"Cannot be. I once cut off the trunk but the mutant did not show any signs of regenerating any part of his body. Moreover, the mutant body was made of..." Alves stopped talking. His gaze was fixedly directed with Lu Feng's gaze clashing against each other.

"Water," they said at the same time.

"I don't know how the mutant body's mechanism is supposed to contain skin-coated flesh, but it's basically the mutant's body of origin from water" Alves said, increasingly convinced by his hypothesis.

Alves had met the ball mutant twice and twice the ball mutant had always appeared starting with water droplets. New mutants can form a ball of skinned meat that comes from a collection of water.

"In a moment, your description made people want to vomit," Lu Feng interrupted when he heard the words "meat" and "skin" from Alves' mouth.

Alves ignored Lu Feng's remark and said, "It means to kill the mutant, it's not enough to destroy his body alone."

Lu Feng nodded. "When we fight water, we need fire" he replied.

"Do you have a fire?" ask Alves.

"No. Don't you have any?"

Alves then massaged his forehead when he heard Lu Feng ask him back.

"Yeah, we're done" Lu Feng said lightly.

Lu Feng then stood up and stretched his stiff body. His gun was again pinned to his waist, and his hand snatched the sword from Alves' grasp.

"What are you doing?!"

Lu Feng placed his index finger in front of his lips. "If there is no fire, we seek fire. You who live in this apartment certainly know the location of the rooms, right? Look for a fire or a device that can emit fire around here. In the meantime, I'll distract the mutant's attention while you go looking. Easy right?" Lu Feng sighed in a confident smile.

"You think it's that easy? And this sword is the only weapon in my hand" said Alves.

Lu Feng nodded. "Ah, looks like you have another weapon in your bag left in the lobby. Yeah, but I still need this sword. So you hurry up and find the fire you need before I die at the hands of the mutant ball."

Lu Feng grabbed the doorknob, prepared to open it just waiting for confirmation from Alves.

"You-"

"I count to three. One, two, three!"

When Lu Feng finished his count, he immediately opened the door. Inevitably Alves had to follow Lu Feng's plan and get out of the room first before darting away to the room he was guessing was storing a tool that could emit fire.

While Lu Feng followed out of the door and quickly faced the ball-shaped mutant. The ball mutant floated in the air and did not linger launching its sharp rods in all directions.

Lu Feng quickly protected Alves from the ball's mutant attack. Both of his hands held the sword he lifted up his head to fend off the stick prick that was planning to hit Alves.

"Don't linger!" lu Feng's Message.

When Alves was gone from his sight, Lu Feng refocused himself on the mutant ball it was a. His sword was pointed at the mutant, before his foot retraced one step forward. Both of his hands swung the sword and rebuked the mutant ball. Successfully cut off one of the skinned rods that the mutant threw the ball.

Lu Feng again threw a smile, but this time it felt an arrogant sense of charm.

"Come at me, you were the bastard."
