Xiao Hen crawled out of the ruins. The spacious street was quiet, with no survivors in sight. Even the Undead, corpse monsters, and corpse slaves were nowhere to be found. It seemed that they had been scared away by the giant Arctic zombie bear.

Next to the Arctic zombie bear stood a man who was tall and strong, with a high nose and deep-set eyes. He didn’t look like a Chinese person.

The man seemed satisfied when he saw Xiao Hen’s appearance. He spoke fluent English and asked, “Are you Xiao Hen from the Third District?”

Xiao Hen took a breath, looking a bit disheveled. He wasn’t actually injured. Fortunately, it was Xiao Hen who took the hit. If it were any other esper, they would have had several broken bones.

Xiao Hen swung his long knife and replied in fluent Mandarin, “Yes, I am. And who are you?”

Xiao Hen had no idea when this person appeared in Central Mega City. Judging from his posture and the fierce aura surrounding him, he was definitely not an ordinary person.

Leaving an uncontrollable foreigner in the Mega City with such formidable strength… Did Central Mega City want him dead faster?

Cedrick introduced himself, “Cedrick.”

Xiao Hen didn’t need a translation. He understood what Cedrick was saying, and fortunately, Cedrick could understand him as well. However, neither of them showed any intention of communicating in the other’s language unless one of them compromised.

Xiao Hen said, “I don’t know you.”

Cedrick replied, “You don’t need to know me. After tonight, there will be no Xiao Hen in the Central Mega City.”

Xiao Hen asked, “You’re not alone, are you? Where are your companions?”

The flying corpse bees that had been following him were nowhere to be seen, and Xiao Hen was very concerned about that.

Cedrick should be a summoner-type esper, so there must be someone else controlling the flying corpse bees. Dual-type espers were not common, and in the entire country, only Wen Qingling had that ability.

Cedrick grinned, revealing a cruel smile. “They are also on a mission.”

Xiao Hen said, “Coming to another country for a mission, it seems like you don’t take us seriously.”

Cedrick showed an exaggerated expression of surprise on his face. “We’re employed by someone to destroy the hopes of the major districts… Hmm, in your words, are the children your hope?”

Xiao Hen paused, thinking about how Hua Fei was the first to be attacked by the flying corpse worms before she thought of using Wen Qingling and the others as a shield. Now, it was himself. Could it be that their target was the younger generation of the major districts?

Soon, the truth revealed the answer to Xiao Hen.

They had just left the Fifth District and were currently within the Second District. If they continued east, they would enter the Third District. At this moment, purple lightning illuminated the night in the Fifth District. The one with the lightning esper ability was undoubtedly Lei Jiang and Lei Yuxiao. Judging from the current situation, Lei Yuxiao was more likely to be under attack.

Lightning-type espers had great power and speed. With the support of the entire Fifth District, Lei Yuxiao’s esper level was not low. It wouldn’t be easy to defeat him. But looking at Cedrick’s reaction, he seemed completely unconcerned about his companion’s situation.
