Chapter 279 – Steel Twist, Strange Red Light

While Zhou Xing Yuan was lost in his thoughts, Wei Xiao Bei had quickly arrived close to the Mutated Farmer’s Market.

Wei Xiao Bei was familiar with the layout of the buildings in the place. After crossing past a few walls and a few dilapidated buildings, Wei Xiao Bei reached the street where the farmer’s market was located.

Who knew if it was because the influence of Resident Evil had decreased in the real world or it was because other people had combed through the Zombies, the amount of Zombies that Wei Xiao Bei had encountered was extremely few.

There were only one or two Zombies swaying in the streets. Wei Xiao Bei did not think about paying any attention to them. The Zombies only felt the wind passed by as they tried to extend their claws.

When he reached the corner, Wei Xiao Bei stamped on the ground and jumped to the wall of the building to the side.

He borrowed the rough surface of the wall to grip his hands on them. The stones that were protruding outward helped him to move like a fish in water.

Compared to using [Ground Rooting] to slowly climb up, he felt that using his hands was faster.

WIth his strength at 40 points, Wei Xiao Bei could easily carry his own body weight. Although it was not as light as paper, it was not difficult.

In this kind of situation, using both of his hands to climb up a wall was easy as pie.

When he climbed to the top, Wei Xiao Bei jumped up and landed on the parapet. He looked at the Mutated Farmer’s Market on the slope.

Compared to the last time he came here, the farmer’s market was incredibly clean. The food inside was incredibly fresh and looked as if they were newly delivered.

Perhaps because the farmer’s market was trying to lure in more people, its shut doors had once again opened.

Wei Xiao Bei frowned. He did not know how many more people had been lured in by the farmer’s market.

However, only looking at the situation from the outside made it impossible to tell.

It was easy to imagine that when the number of people who entered the farmer’s market increased a lot, the farmer’s market would become stronger.

He thought about how great it would be if he could place surveillance cameras here.

Wei Xiao Bei could not help but sigh and let out a bitter smile.

This place was the Dust World and not reality. Even if he had surveillance cameras, it would be hard to monitor the farmer’s market without careful preparation.

If it was like that, it would be better to stop people from entering the place.

However, it was impossible for him to guard it.

After thinking about it, Wei Xiao Bei circled the roof once and noticed a billboard on the other side of the street.

Compared to the colorful billboards in the real world, the billboards here had thousands of holes on them.

However, it did not matter. Wei Xiao Bei found rotten pieces of wood and turned them into charcoal. Then he took a large piece of the billboard and wrote a few words.

Afterwards, he came down to the street and placed it on the road by pressing the piece between two bricks.

It was quite eye-catching.

Wei Xiao Bei nodded his head in satisfaction.

Great Danger Ahead!

Three eye-grabbing black words were enough to let anybody see it.

Wei Xiao Bei had also thought about clearing up the matter about the Mutated Farmer’s Market, but he had second thoughts about it. After writing this, people might not believe it, and on the contrary, they might think that someone was scamming them, not allowing them to enter the farmer’s market.

However, just writing that there was great danger ahead was already a lot better. At the very least, people would not just charge into it rashly and would be more likely to carefully inspect the insides first.

What Wei Xiao Bei wanted was for people to carefully observe.

If you think about it, as long as the person was not an idiot, the individual would be suspicious of the clean farmer’s market.

Naturally, this was not absolute. If the people were starving, let alone the warning that he wrote, even if there was a volcano in front, there would still be people going in to steal food.

This was natural.

Wei Xiao Bei did not hope that he could save a lot of people with his words, but at the very least, he could save a few.

After returning to the roof, Wei Xiao Bei looked at the farmer’s market as if he was lost in thought, but in truth, he was just focusing on it.

Without a doubt, competing with patience against the abnormal farmer’s market was the wrong choice.

There were no changes to the farmer’s market nor were there any new people in the vicinity.

There should be no one here anymore.

Wei Xiao Bei thought about it and walked to the billboard.

Before leaving, he wanted to prepare something that the farmer’s market would never forget.

The billboard was welded with steel pipes on the roof of the building. In short, the billboard was supported by a steel frame.

Wei Xiao Bei grabbed the lowest steel pipe and gave a light shout. All his muscles bulged as he reached to pull out the steel pipe, causing the steel pipe to let out an unbearable screech.

He never expected that the base of the steel pipe was firmly cemented onto the roof.

He looked at the base and once again put in his strength. Even if the base or the pipe distorted, he did not relax.

In one spurt of energy, the firm base was being pulled out from the roof.

Wei Xiao Bei did not need to care about the base or the billboard deforming. Thus, he used all his strength.

Thanks to the corrosion on the steel pipes, Wei Xiao Bei had successfully destroyed the steep pipe, separating it from the base.

He once again used a lot of strength and twisted the billboard into a two meter long fried dough twist.

After weighing it with his hands, Wei Xiao Bei slightly frowned. The weight of it was at the very least 500 kilograms.

Wei Xiao Bei’s power had already exceeded 500 kilograms, but throwing a 500 kilogram object towards the Mutated Farmer’s Market was a bit troublesome.

At the very least, he wanted to throw it 30 meters away. Only then would he be able to smash the ceiling of the farmer’s market.

Naturally, if he used [Intermediate Power Burst], then the weight would not be a problem.

In the end, he held back on using it. Instead, he leaned the steel twist against the parapet. Then he went to the opposite side and stamped the parapet.

Boom!

The parapet collapse sending Wei Xiao Bei forward!

Iron Mountain Lean!

In just seven steps, he reached the opposite parapet and condensed the force in his body into his arms.

With a loud boom, the steel twist was like a shot put that was thrown by him.

As for the how far it was shot, Wei Xiao Bei could not see it.

After using all his strength and agility, he was not able to immediately stop and hit the parapet with his body.

With another boom, the parapet greatly shattered as Wei Xiao Bei continued forward.

Luckily, when he had continued to charge forward, he lightly patted the remains of the parapet to send him flying upwards, and as he borrowed the momentum, he continued with a backflip.

When he landed, he landed firmly on the wall and relaxed. He was not someone who could fly or glide. If he truly continued like that, he might have landed in the middle of the farmer’s market.

After stabilizing his body, Wei Xiao Bei looked at the steel twist that he threw at the farmer’s market.

The steel twist was still moving towards it.

However, changes instantly appeared to the farmer’s market.

A layer of red light appeared above the farmer’s market.

In an instant, the steel twist struck like a cannon on the red light.

Without any sounds, the red light blocked the steel twist. The steel twist appeared as if it had struck a rubber force field. In an instant, it was sent flying back where it came.

Seeing this scene, Wei Xiao Bei squinted his eyes. He did not dare hesitate as he disabled [Ground Rooting] and let himself quickly free fall to the ground.

Before Wei Xiao Bei landed on the ground, a loud boom echoed from the roof.

Wei Xiao Bei kicked on the wall, sending himself flying in a slanting position towards the corner of the street.

However, at this moment, his heart jumped as he felt a premonition of extreme danger!

When he turned his head, he was stunned.

The steel twist had struck the roof and destroyed most of it, causing countless rocks and bricks to fall down.

Naturally, what truly stunned him was the steel twist that also followed down in a diagonal line and coincidentally towards Wei Xiao Bei’s direction.

Even if Wei Xiao Bei gave it his all, he could not escape it before it landed.

If it landed on him with that much acceleration and weight, Wei Xiao Bei would not be able to live through it.

Run!

Without any hesitation, Wei Xiao Bei stamped on the ground and activated [Intermediate Power Burst]!

Afterwards, Wei Xiao Bei’s body knocked into a wall causing continuous knocking sounds to echo.

When Wei Xiao Bei once again appeared, he was already in the neighboring street.

The building behind him was continuously letting out striking sounds as if it was about to collapse.

He did not stop and instantly knocked against the building in front of him.

He did not do this for no reason. After using [Intermediate Power Burst], his speed could not control the burst in power anymore and prevented him from slowing down.

Being able to walk in a straight line in this state was already not bad.

If he wanted to change directions, then he would need to slow down.

However, how could he care about this while escaping. He just kept advancing while covering his face with his hands.

Luckily, the buildings in the Dust World were old and ruined. Otherwise, Wei Xiao Bei would have knocked himself to death after knocking against so many walls.

However, even if that was so, Wei Xiao Bei’s hands had been fractured, and his head was bleeding after escaping through so many buildings.
