Play is just play, jokes are just jokes, but everyone kept their hands busy.

Even the onlooker Shi Shi occasionally took the opportunity to strike the scorched figure.

Only Ma Ran was not present at the scene.

That kid seems to be good at escaping, unable to do anything else well, but when he sensed trouble, he was the first to flee.

"You... you lower creatures..."

The scorched figure became breathless under continuous attacks, and his speech became fragmented.

Bai Liu watched all this without any trace of pity or sympathy on her face, just a faint disdain.

"Is this it? I don't think you can do it either~"

"You!"

The scorched creature was enraged!

Though he realized he wasn't a match for Bai Liu, if it weren't for that dishonorable man who sneak attacked him first, causing serious injuries,

Even if surrounded and with the advantage, he still despicably targeted his lower parts.

If not for this kid, he would never have lost so disastrously!

Worst of all, this kid's strikes were vicious, and on top of that, he wouldn't stop babbling.

A literal attack and mental one too!

"Capture him alive!"

"Got it!"

Under the siege of many, the scorched figure was like a candle in the wind, on the verge of collapse.

His counterattacks grew weaker, and even his once-arrogant words became feeble, as if he could barely speak.

Jiang Xiao and his team grew more and more vigorous, their every move filled with power and determination.

Their attacks were like a storm, not giving the scorched figure a chance to breathe.

At this moment, a sharp glint flashed in Bai Liu's eyes; it seemed she had found the scorched one's weak point.

Her figure flickered like a phantom, circling to the back of the scorched figure, her weapon emitting a cold gleam.

The scorched figure sensed danger from behind and wanted to turn to counterattack, but fatigue and injuries slowed his reactions.

His eyes filled with panic, powerless as Bai Liu's attack approached.

With a "bam!", Bai Liu's palm struck precisely at the creature's spine.

It was an extremely fragile part of his structure.

Under Bai Liu's precision strike, the scorched figure instantly lost balance, swaying as if the pillar had been pulled from under him.

"Don't think you can escape!"

Bai Liu shouted coldly, her weapon swinging again, unleashing a powerful binding force that locked the scorched figure firmly.

The scorched figure tried to struggle, but the binding was like a web, tightening with every move.

His body began to emit cracking sounds, the sound of his structure gradually collapsing under the immense force.

In less than five minutes, the scorched figure was secured, subdued by the people's assault.

His strength continued draining, and the once-arrogant voice turned hoarse and weak, eventually only a faint groan remained.

Bai Liu looked at the once-arrogant creature before her, a cold smile tugging at her lips.

She knew that this peculiar creature had completely lost the ability to resist and would be the perfect subject for her research.

"Got it!"

Bai Liu turned to Jiang Xiao and the others, a hint of pride in her eyes.

Jiang Xiao nodded, his gaze also showing a hint of satisfaction.

This was a pleasant surprise!

His intuition told him he was getting closer to the truth.

"Tie this guy up well. We'll take him back and interrogate him thoroughly."

Jiang Xiao commanded, intending to extract more information from this strange creature.

Everyone swiftly acted, binding the scorched figure tightly, preparing to take him back to the base for further investigation.

Besides the intermittent groans, there was no other sound from the scorched figure, his arrogance and insolence had dissipated.

After the fight, Ma Ran appeared out of nowhere.

At this moment, Ma Ran was like a groundhog popping out of the earth, his face covered in dirt.

He seemed slightly embarrassed about his earlier cowardly behavior of running away.

He crouched aside, cautiously observing the captured creature, feeling both curious and fearful, wondering if it still had any dangerous abilities.

But this thing was already half-cooked, practically a charred mess. Just looking at it made it hard to tell what it even was.

"Ma Ran, you're quite skilled at running away." Shi Shi snorted.

Ma Ran wiped the dirt from his face, feigning innocence.

"Ahem, well, I, I was just scouting the surroundings to prevent any ambushes."

The group didn't pursue the matter further since they still needed the kid to fly the helicopter.

Coincidentally, a helicopter was hidden at the Capital City's hospital, and Jiang Xiao had no qualms about commandeering it on the spot.

The discussion about where to send this extraterrestrial creature boiled down to two places.

Shanghai-Hong Kong or the current Capital City.

However, the Capital City had now fallen into ruin, with the zombie virus decimating its survival rate to a fraction of a percent.

In comparison, Shanghai-Hong Kong, with its merely deformed inhabitants, had a higher population.

After some persuasion, Bai Liu agreed to join them in heading to Shanghai-Hong Kong.

....

Once delivered to the Shanghai-Hong Kong Base, Wang Dayong and Niu Jieshi escorted the extraterrestrial to the experimental chamber for body cleanup.

Bai Liu was puzzled as to why Jiang Xiao had sent those two burly men there.

"They don't seem like the type to help with cleaning, do they? Shouldn't a professional handle professional tasks?"

"Hehehe, Bai Liu sis, you just don't get it. It's all about experience!"

Jiang Xiao confessed that if this were a movie, the creature would probably have some final trick to injure the staff and escape!

For real?

Soon, the cleanup was done, and Niu Jieshi proudly called Bai Liu and Jiang Xiao over to check out the creature.

"Bah, what a thing! It tried to make one last struggle and ambush the medical staff! Da Yong and I each gave it a well-placed knock on the head, making it pass out again!"

Uh, well...

Bai Liu glanced at Jiang Xiao with newfound admiration, was he a Prophet?

"Hehe~"

Jiang Xiao chuckled confidently but spoke very modestly.

"Just a small prediction, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning. I still need to learn a lot from Bai Liu sis."

In the laboratory, everyone was slightly stunned by the contents of the jar.

This guy...

The scorched material had been entirely cleaned off, revealing its true appearance.

The body was a dim green overall, but the belly was white.

Most of the body was shiny and slippery, but there was a high ridge with scales on the back.

Yet it didn't look like a fish, and definitely not like a mermaid.

The figure had humanoid vague characteristics, but the head was fish-like, with huge, protruding, never-closing eyes.

On both sides of its neck were gills that kept quivering, and long webbed hands and feet.

Very strange...

Very ugly!
