Chapter 947: Elf
Hua Hua and Lele gathered the superhuman corpses together.
Zhang Yi established contact with the command center on the Xuanwu and uploaded their images.
Li Tianyang, Situ Xin, and others were in the command center, quietly awaiting the start of the battle.
However, in the initial stages, all parties tended to be very cautious, and conflicts rarely occurred.
So they hadn't expected news to come back this quickly.
Zhang Yi's message with images was directly projected as a 3D display in the center of the command center's circular platform.
Zhang Yi asked casually, "Can these people be identified?"
Little did he know how much shock this action brought to everyone.
Situ Xin's eyes lit up, his smile practically reaching his ears.The East Sea Region had consistently displayed an attitude of looking down on the Jiangnan Region's capabilities.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yi had already made an impressive move so quickly, earning them significant face!
Even Xuanwu couldn't help but come over, blinking curiously with full interest.
"Oh, it's Chaos! This guy's strength is quite impressive!"
Li Tianyang frowned with some dissatisfaction.
Soon someone confirmed these people's identities.
The officer responsible for battlefield statistics and reporting said:
"Chaos, these individuals are from New Rohan. Confirmed identities include New Rohan Hwarang Master Choi Yong-ho, superhuman ability index 7600 points."
"And Taekwondo Master Cha Haesik, codename [Spider Demon], superhuman ability index 8000 points."
"The other superhumans all had ability indices below 6000 points. We have completed tallying your combat achievements. You can exchange for rewards after your return!"
Zhang Yi nodded: "Good, I understand."
After speaking, he ended the communication with the command center.
Li Tianyang saw the smile at the corner of Situ Xin's mouth and snorted coldly, deliberately raising his voice to say:
"They're just inferior superhumans from New Rohan! For the number one expert of Jiangnan Region to eliminate a few like them is nothing remarkable."
Situ Xin nodded with a cheerful smile.
"You're absolutely right, I feel the same way. Honestly, I'm also looking forward to seeing the performance of the East Sea Region's representatives."
The muscles on Li Tianyang's face twitched, finally transforming into another cold snort.
Pretty words were easy to say.
Did they really think those two superhumans were mere small fry?
Even with combat power of only 7600 and 8000 points, they were already expert level in the superhuman domain, equivalent to deputy team leader level in any major region.
And Zhang Yi had cleanly eliminated them within half an hour of the battle starting.
If this wasn't demonstrating capability, then what was?
Meanwhile, the Colombian Navy command center also received news that a New Rohan squad had been completely wiped out right at the battle's beginning.
But nobody paid it much attention.
Because this squad's strength wasn't particularly impressive in the overall scheme.
Their core focus remained on other areas, especially the members of Hell's Lock.
...
Zhang Yi scavenged supplies from these individuals.
As for Choi Yong-ho and Cha Haesik, he directly fed them to Hua Hua to eat.
Lele watched with evident envy.
"Ah, if only I could also devour and evolve."
It wore a worried expression, sighing deeply.
Zhang Yi patted its large head: "This is your fate, accept reality. After this mission concludes, I'll prepare an extra-large portion of dog food for you."
"Woof!"
After Hua Hua finished cleaning up the superhuman corpses, Zhang Yi collected the remains into his Dimensional Space to avoid leaving evidence that might attract attention.
After cleaning the scene, he immediately relocated with Hua Hua and Lele.
"They're probably operating in dispersed units. Since people came through here, a second squad won't likely appear soon."
"Let's go, our hunting operation has only just begun!"
Zhang Yi and Hua Hua jumped onto Lele's back.
The Demon Dog sniffed the air, keenly perceiving everything around them, then after confirming a direction, began rapidly running toward it.
...
In Bato City on Star Island, a group of fully armed Columbus Ocean scouts advanced cautiously.
They moved at a measured pace, diligently observing their surroundings.
They frequently consulted pre-apocalypse maps to confirm surrounding buildings and determine their position.
Their mission was to guide the superhuman troops.
After confirming the correct direction, they left markers.
Over a dozen Columbus Ocean soldiers coordinated seamlessly, not missing any significant landmark buildings around them.
As one soldier passed a derelict building, his equipment suddenly picked up clear, crisp laughter.
The scout immediately became alert. He confirmed the laughter's source again, certain he hadn't misheard.
The sound's origin was clearly inside the adjacent building—no auditory hallucination, as his detection equipment clearly alerted him.
The scout raised his assault rifle and slowly advanced into the ruins.
When he stepped into the rubble, the scene before him made his eyes widen in astonishment.
He saw a tiny sprite happily bouncing around on the ruins.
Yes, a small sprite.
Because he didn't need any hesitation to determine that this was definitely not any animal that had ever existed in the world.
A small yellow sprite, not even as tall as a calf, with an elongated body possessing four limbs, and a long head—like a banana with arms and legs.
Yet it looked utterly adorable, hopping and skipping among the broken walls and debris of the ruins, humming an incomprehensible but heart-soothing melody.
The scout stared dumbfounded for a moment, but soon reported this discovery to the reconnaissance team leader.
Quickly, the scout team gathered in the ruins.
When they saw the sprite, every one of them was astonished, as they had never witnessed anything like this before.
But the sudden appearance of so many people seemed to expose their presence, making the little sprite become alert.
It hopped and skipped, quickly darting deeper into the ruins.
"Quick, follow it!"
The scouts vaguely sensed that this little sprite might be connected to their search target.
Without hesitation, they chased after the sprite's escape direction.
They pursued deep into the ruins, the pleasant, crisp magical sounds growing increasingly louder in their ears.
Soon, they reached a collapsed pit—the basement of a large building.
The scouts stared at the scene before them, one after another struck dumb with amazement.
Before their eyes stretched a bright expanse of yellow, warmly illuminating large sections of the basement space.
Those cheerful yellow sprites numbered in the hundreds here!
They chirped and chattered, happily jumping about, seemingly unconcerned about the uninvited guests who had arrived.
"OH, MY GOD!"
The reconnaissance team leader couldn't help but exclaim: "Is this heaven?"
