Chapter 606: A Flash of Ying Guang Lu

A flash of light got there before him.

The Ying Guang Lu light shot out from a corner of the waiting hall, and the bullet precisely pierced the Aberrant Species' skull at the center, shattering the Core that had just taken shape in its head.

The Aberrant Species didn't even have time to scream; its whole body collapsed and, within just a few seconds, turned into a pile of black‑gray ash.

Lei Zhao's steps halted; in other directions of the waiting hall, several energy bullets of the same color were fired simultaneously, swiftly eliminating the other Aberrant Species.

Jiangdu had just rescued an elderly man who had slipped, and was about to act when he was beaten to it.

From the first shot to the last, no more than a minute passed.

The fleeing passengers were still blindly pouring outward, but the danger inside the waiting hall had already been neutralized.

Lei Zhao wasn't bewildered; he quickly looked toward the direction where the bullet had been fired and successfully saw a metal object about the size of a soda can darting from the shadows beneath a seat.

His figure left only an afterimage in the air; in the next instant he had the small robot clutched in his hand, its metallic limbs thrashing wildly between his fingers.

Lei Zhao finally saw the whole of the little thing, and at the joint of its outer shell he could faintly discern a circuit of Ying Guang Lu Rune flashing inside.

"Not good—"

Lei Zhao abruptly tossed the robot in his hand into the air.

These exquisitely crafted little robots, when their owner throws them, are intended to be used as disposable props.

At the same time, in the four corners of the waiting hall, four clusters of green light mist detonated at different spots, leaving everything spotless, as if they had never existed.

Lei Zhao's fingers were still frozen mid‑air, but he recognized that color.

The energy fluctuation of this color was exceedingly distinctive......

His brows knit tightly, his gaze pierced the panicked crowd, sweeping every corner of the waiting hall.

Ying Guang Lu.

Ying Duo.

Coincidentally, Jiangdu had already seen him here.

On the other side, Zhiruo was being supported by Yang Yixie and had already moved from the exit to the plaza outside.

Her breathing was still a bit rapid, her fingertips trembled slightly, and she occasionally looked up at her son as if to check his safety.

Yang Yixie's hand steadily supported her arm, his expression calm, not even a furrow of his brow, let alone turning back to glance at the waiting hall.

"Xiao Xie."

Zhiruo's voice was very soft, almost drowned out by the surrounding clamor.

But Yang Yixie still heard it; his gaze instantly withdrew and fell again on his mother's face, "What's wrong, Mom?"

Zhiruo opened her mouth.

She was by no means dull; she could even be called sensitive.

In Yang Yixie's deep black eyes, a fleeting golden halo seemed to flash.

"You......" Zhiruo's voice suddenly halted; she had many things to ask but didn't know how to start.

"Mom? Are you feeling unwell?" Yang Yixie's voice remained gentle, no different from usual, "Let's go out first; this place isn't safe."

Zhiruo looked at his face, at his familiar obedient expression, nodded, said nothing, and simply tightened her grip on Yang Yixie's sleeve.

The woman twisted the pen cap tight and slipped it back into the pocket on her chest.

She lifted her head, ready to assist elsewhere, but wherever she looked, all Aberrant Species had already been dealt with, and several patches of black‑gray ash littered the ground.

How long has it been?

The woman's gaze quickly shifted to the center of the scene, spotting Lei Zhao; Jiangdu also hurried to Lei Zhao's side, whose expression was somewhat solemn.

"Impressive," the woman's voice came from behind, with a hint of relieved smile, "I thought it would at least take a round, but I didn't expect it to be resolved so quickly."

She quickly estimated in her mind; she knew Lei Zhao's strength, and the only thing that might have given him pause was the ordinary people present, yet this speed still surprised her.

She didn't dwell on the issue; if they were curious about Lei Zhao's combat style they could review the recordings later. Though the Aberrant Species inside the airport had been cleared, the aftermath work was just beginning.

"This place can no longer receive ordinary passengers."

She pulled out her phone and quickly dialed, "Hello? It's me, XX Airport has experienced an Alien Invasion; it has now been completely cleared."

"I need the Special Division to send personnel immediately to clean the scene, and also inform the airport that this terminal must be sealed off."

The woman instructed the other end of the phone on many precautions; as a result, their planned trip to the capital was forced to pause.

The call ended.

The woman turned to Lei Zhao; he simply nodded, "I'll go out and see if any were missed elsewhere."

The woman patted his shoulder, "Thanks for your effort."

She paused, lowered her tone, "When the squad arrives, I still have to give a briefing; Aberrant Species appearing suddenly at an airport is just too abnormal."

Normally, Aberrant Species tend to appear en masse whenever players return, and the Special Division personnel also conduct coordinated clean‑ups at that time.

Only a few missed by the Special Division are exceptions, but they still strive to eliminate fleeing Aberrant Species as quickly as possible.

However, according to internal reports from the Special Division, there shouldn't have been any Aberrant Species left uncleared during this period; why then did a Mutation erupt at such a crowded airport?

Lei Zhao, with Jiangdu, turned and walked toward the exit.

"...... You just said you saw Ying Duo?"

Lei Zhao's voice was hoarse and low, but Jiangdu immediately nodded upon hearing it.

"Yes, it should be him......"

Lei Zhao examined the information the woman gave; the Ying Duo's name in this world seemed to be... Yang Yixie?

If they are counterparts from different worlds, the other's awakened Aberrant Arts should share the same color as Ying Duo, and Ying Duo itself has a particular affinity for Rune weapons.

His goal was clear; he quickly scanned the crowd, but the real world isn't like a game—most people here have black hair and black eyes, lacking that conspicuous Ying Guang Lu, so even Lei Zhao couldn't spot the target at a glance.

He couldn't locate Yang Yixie, but his gaze fell again on Bai Mu Yun not far away.

Bai Mu Yun stood casually beside a flowerbed; since everyone in the airport had fled outside, the area was chaotic with people gathering with their families to discuss the situation.

He was the only one standing there alone, his silhouette solitary.
