After Death, I Became a Superhuman

Chapter 49 – Countermeasures against Superman

In the end, the two new recruits did not find the whereabouts of the enemy.

The captain of the security team under the influence of the truth serum did speak the truth, as they did find the forest and the stream as instructed, and they did find the camp mentioned by the other party.

However, when they arrived, the place was already empty. The large camp was deserted, with no sign of any ghostly figures.

Well, that's not entirely accurate. Although the people had all fled, there were still many things left behind. Rare metal materials, mineral resources, energy crystal fragments...

So, they missed their target this time, but not completely. They didn't waste a single bullet, instead picking up junk until their hands cramped.

It was clear that the camp had been hastily abandoned, probably because they sensed that something was wrong. Looking at all the valuable things left behind, the two of them could almost imagine a group of researchers running to the car with bags and boxes, leaving behind a pile of treasures.

Overall, they had gained quite a lot, but it was so simple that it made them suspicious. After all, they had expected a fierce battle to break out here according to the original plan, but they never expected it to unfold like this.

Are these people really so cowardly? They get scared at the slightest movement of the wind?

Can they even be considered villains if they're this cowardly?

...

...

Meanwhile, at the local base of the Transcendent Research and Development Department.

"The camp of the Transcendent Development Department has been lost."

In the dimly lit conference room, a deep voice sounded.

"So, that department is still around." Someone sneered disdainfully. "I've been saying that we should cancel that group of idiots' department. They are useless except for wasting funds. The influence of the Transcendent on technology is minimal at best, just hitching a ride on the new era. The future belongs to the Extraordinary Beings who can grasp the power of the world with their own flesh and blood."

"The focus now is that the Transcendent Development Department has been targeted by the Endless Alliance." The low voice continued, "I don't think I need to explain the seriousness of the situation."

Everyone in the room fell silent.

There was no need to say more. Everyone was well aware of the severity of the situation. It was the biggest problem that had been plaguing them for days, the nightmare that had been waking them up in the middle of the night.

Superman.

A beam of light suddenly projected into the dim room. The large screen lit up, revealing a slender figure in the shadows.

The people in the conference room were all surprised. A man with a low voice bowed respectfully to the figure on the screen. "Great Mind Master."

He was one of the highest-ranking leaders of the organization, known as the Mind Master.

"Shadow Lord." The Mind Master said calmly, "I heard that your branch is facing some trouble."

Damn, why didn't you say so earlier!

He had thought it was just a suicide mission, but headquarters had actually sent a Commissioner specialized in dealing with Superman. The nature of the mission had completely changed.

Although it still felt quite dangerous, it was worth a try. If they succeeded, it would be a great achievement. He might even be promoted to headquarters and reach the pinnacle of his career, marrying a beautiful and wealthy woman, and even entering the gacha pool after death...

It was simply a dream life.He stood upright, solemnly saying, "To dedicate ourselves to the cause of the organization is our inescapable duty. Rest assured, Lord, the task will be completed!"

...

...

At the same time, in the Changhe district of Changhebin Town, the local branch of the Sky Eye.

"This matter must draw the attention of all units."

The local Sky Eye staff officer was named Jian Hao. At this moment, he was standing in the conference hall, and the projection behind him was a ferocious-looking Extraordinary Being.

Pale skin, blood-red eyes, sharp fangs, lurking in the shadows, like a beast ready to hunt.

"Li Jingyin, a Kindred-like Extraordinary Being, is suspected to be a member of the illegal Extraordinary organization 'Prayer Meeting'. She is weak in light, but skilled in assassination, has a bloodthirsty trait, and is assessed as a B-level, but in the dark, she may have stronger combat power than the average B-level.

And now there are reports that she has appeared near the Changhe district, which needs to draw the attention of all units."

The atmosphere in the conference room became heavy for a moment, and everyone's faces were as if facing a great enemy.

The threat of a B-level Extraordinary Being is self-evident. If her whereabouts are confirmed, it would be a serious situation for Changhe City, and it might even be necessary to call for reinforcements from other branches.

"I hope all units will take action and investigate all suspicious areas. Any clues should be reported immediately..."

Jian Hao caught a glimpse of the side door of the conference room being slightly opened, and his secretary came over quickly with a stack of documents.

"What's the matter? We're in a meeting." Jian Hao frowned slightly.

"The Changhebin Town department just contacted us, sir, there's been a development." The secretary whispered, "It's about Li Jingyin. The local department found half of her head."

Jian Hao was taken aback.

"Half?"

"Yes, sir, only half has been found so far. They're still looking for the rest, but judging from the scene, they might not be able to find it.

But overall, sir..."

The secretary adjusted his glasses.

"...I think Li Jingyin is no longer a threat."
