Of course, it's better to be alive.
Liu Chengzhi was sweet-talking but not greasy, and had a high level of observation skills. He casually said a lot of coy things, which made the other party lower their guard again and again.
Soon they started beating up the others, who were screaming and crying, their faces bruised and swollen, almost dying from the pain, before revealing their purpose.
There were five people in total. Excluding Liu Chengzhi, the other four hostages seemed to be people who had no background or backing but had flaunted their wealth. Despite having the strength of the third-tier level, they were still captured here.
They'll rob you of your money first, then your body; if you still refuse to submit, you won't live to see tomorrow.
They beat the four men half to death, terrified them, then returned their phones and made them transfer all the supplies from the car.
Completing a world-challenge transaction on Earth requires items, which are quite valuable, but still far less valuable than a piece of gold equipment.
A business that involves getting something for nothing, a sure-fire way to make money.
Liu Chengzhi watched them vomit blood while making the transaction, and he really didn't dare to press the [Return] button.
"Returning" takes a few seconds, but a gun barrel pressed against their forehead can shatter their heads in less than a second.
Even the most stubborn troublemaker among them finally trembled as he handed over all his savings, and said fiercely like a hungry wolf, "Anyway, I have no backers and no equipment now. You can tell me what you want me to do, I just want to live."
Liu Chengzhi was greatly shocked to see this. This was a person who had reached a dead end, but ultimately made a resolute and open-minded change, and was also the easiest to gain trust.
It's a pity that my own body isn't suited for this path, otherwise I might as well learn it; it could be a lifesaver in the future.
"Hey, you coward."
Liu Chengzhi was lost in thought when his leg was kicked. He suddenly looked up, his eyes perfectly conveying the image of someone trying hard to show he wasn't a coward but looking utterly pathetic no matter how you looked at him.
A smile tugged at the corners of her lips: "Brother, please speak."
The one speaking was Red Hair; he was at least in charge of the guy who beat people up.
He squatted down in front of Liu Chengzhi with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, stared at him intently for a long time, and then said, "Can you tell? You're different from them. Do you want to try their tricks?"
"No, no, no, brother, just arrange it directly, I'll definitely do it well for you. I'm grateful for your and everyone's help. I have another account with a little money, only about ten million, as a way of thanking you all for your help. I'll give it to you in a bit. We can all eat and drink together, no matter where we are, it doesn't matter. From now on, it'll all be on my tab."
"No wonder he's the young master of Xinggang, he's really rich." Although his words were sarcastic, the red-haired man saw that Liu Chengzhi was so sensible that he gave up on the idea of hitting him. He exhaled smoke and said, "I'll give you my phone and transfer all the equipment to me in front of you. Don't try anything funny, you know? I've been in this business for so many years and I've never run away from anyone. Everyone who tried to run away died."
"No, don't worry. I don't think our organization is a small one. I didn't come here by accident. I just found a backer by accident."
As Liu Chengzhi spoke, he caught the phone that the other party threw to him.
The phone is made by Blue Star, and only the "Challenger APP" is the key to entering and exiting the Challenger world.
Liu Chengzhi took his phone and became emotional for a moment, then quickly...
Once things calmed down, he knew he couldn't leave, but he also planned to stay and investigate what was going on here to do that would be detrimental to the Northeast Army.
Therefore, with each instruction being given individually, one must transfer their equipment according to the other party's requirements.
He was also glad that he didn't have enough DKP and was just a support staff member, so he didn't waste the boss's resources by giving them away to these bastards.
Just then, Red Hair suddenly asked, "Have you joined the team? Or did you form your own team?"
Liu Chengzhi's heart skipped a beat, and his brain raced as he considered how to answer in a way that would be most advantageous to him.
In short, they can't let them find out that they're in the boss's car. The boss is so famous, and the whole world knows that Mu is his partner. If they do that, they won't be able to gather intelligence, let alone survive.
"I do want to form a racing team, but as you said, Xinggang started late, and I'm a newcomer this year. I only became a challenger a month ago. Even if we recruit, we won't be able to find any strong players, so I can only go solo for now."
Liu Chengzhi's words struck a chord with the other party, who clearly didn't believe he could achieve anything and immediately believed him.
Red Hair only added at the end: "You'd better not lie to me, Ryu Seong-ji."
Liu Chengzhi laughed: "Brother, I don't actually have the talent to be a challenger. I'm afraid of dying, and I don't dare to fight if I'm not strong enough. If it weren't for my grandma forcing me, I would just want to be an ordinary person on Blue Star. How could I possibly understand becoming a challenger for such a big corporation as Star Steel?"
After saying this, he gained Red Hair's approval.
If you have money, who would risk their life to challenge the world?
Hongmao didn't mention looking at the account, but instead sent Liu Chengzhi a request for a face-to-face transaction.
Liu Chengzhi readily agreed and put all his equipment on the equipment.
He understood perfectly that as long as he was alive, his boss would definitely come to save him. Others might not know, but did he not know his boss's strength?
"Liu Chengzhi, that name sounds familiar?" But Shi Hengjun suddenly spoke up, staring at Liu Chengzhi's face, a sudden wariness rising in his eyes, "You're from District 1006?"
The mistake of revealing his identity caught Liu Chengzhi off guard, and Shi Hengjun seized the opportunity to expose his weakness: "You're from District 1006. I recognize your name. Do you know Wei Huan?"
As he said this, Shi Hengjun subconsciously touched his severed arm, his expression gradually contorting.
Liu Chengzhi asked him in confusion, "Yes, I am from District 1006. Boss Wei is indeed from our district, but we have only had a transaction. Boss Wei bought some L-shaped barbecue from me. If you want me to introduce Boss Wei, I can't do it even if you kill me."
The word "barbecue" brought back Shi Hengjun's memories. Indeed, in the newbie zone, there was always a person named Liu Chengzhi selling barbecue.
He remembered the name by chance because it sounded like "orange juice".
However, the people who impressed him most in that area were Wei Huan, Mu Zhong, and the novice instructor who kept nagging him every day.
The two consecutive road tests in the Challenge World left a shadow in his mind.
The secondary highway, in particular, left him disabled. The "angel" could not regenerate his limbs, and even if a "life angel" were to appear in the future, the shame and anger in his heart would never dissipate.
Unless he kills it with his own hands
Wei Huan!
Thinking this way, Shi Hengjun also developed hostility towards Liu Chengzhi, who had seen his "shameful side".
He advised, "Let's take a look at this guy's file. Even if the young master of Xinggang is a coward, he's not an idiot. Let's see if he has any backup plans. Don't let a good thing turn into a bad thing."
This reminder almost made Liu Chengzhi curse.
Although he knew he couldn't hide the fact that he had joined Wei Huan's racing team, he never thought that he couldn't even keep it a secret for a minute. How could his delaying tactics continue?
Or are they going to use the other side's hatred for the boss to pretend to be an inside agent and continue to try to delay the inevitable?
But... one's bottom line cannot be broken again and again. Betraying the boss, even if it's just verbal betrayal, is like stepping on his morals and cursing him.
He can't do it.
This time, even Hongmao noticed Liu Chengzhi's nervousness and hesitation. He hadn't expected to be tricked, and in a fit of rage, he slapped Liu Chengzhi across the face.
Liu Chengzhi flew out and crashed into the wall, his head and eyes a mess, his ears ringing.
"You son of a bitch!"
Red Hair grabbed Liu Chengzhi by the neck and slammed him against the wall. "You lied to me? Show me your personal information right now!"
Liu Chengzhi said in a hoarse voice, "Brother, I'll give you anything you ask for, just let me live."
"Now it's not up to you." After saying that, the red-haired man punched Liu Chengzhi in the stomach again, saying fiercely, "Your life or death is in my hands. Now I'll say it: open the documents!!"
"Open it, open it, you're blocking me, I can't open it..."
But this time, Red Hair wasn't going to let Liu Chengzhi off the hook. He raised his hand and punched Liu Chengzhi in the stomach several more times, making Liu Chengzhi's eyes turn red and blood trickle from his mouth.
"Caw caw..." Just then, a crow's cawing sound, like needles pricking one's head, suddenly rang out.
Everyone in the room froze. Before they even realized why there were crows cawing, three people's expressions had already changed.
Liu Chengzhi's dull eyes suddenly burst forth with light, and the sudden burst of light was even inexplicably dazzling.
The other two whose expressions changed drastically were Shi Hengjun and Iijima behind him.
As defeated by Wei Huan, and even crippled because of him, they regarded Wei Huan as their greatest enemy in this life, studying him and deeply fearing him.
The crow's cry is not unusual, but the accompanying mental attack is unique in the world.
Is Wei Huan here?
Why is Wei Huan here?!
The two men began to look around suspiciously until they saw black smoke flying out of the red-haired man's head.
In that instant, they almost let out a "soul-piercing scream".
Wei Huan has really arrived!!
Red Hair was "forcefully controlled" by Ghost Crow. His fist, which was about to be swung at Liu Chengzhi, trembled in mid-air. His vision was blank, as if he saw unknown terrors. He did not move for a long time.
Liu Chengzhi twisted his body and slipped from his palm to the ground, and saw Shi Hengjun leading people out the door.
On the other side, the guy who started the beating noticed his movements and rushed over.
Liu Chengzhi crawled around on the ground, dodging the punches, and even stomped on his "friend" several times, but he still couldn't completely avoid the punches hitting him.
Finally, again
He was pinned to the ground, and when he looked at the doorway, Shi Hengjun had vanished.
The man, sitting on the ground, punched Liu Chengzhi several times in quick succession, causing his nose to bleed profusely: "What the hell is this thing? What did you do to him? Speak up!!"
Liu Chengzhi gritted his teeth and remained silent, his face covered in blood from his nose, and his head was buzzing with pain. Finally, "caw caw caw caw," another flock of ghost crows flew in.
One of the crows, larger than the others and with more intense green flames in its eyes, immediately captured Liu Chengzhi's attention upon its appearance.
At that moment, Liu Chengzhi looked like a bullied baby, and tears streamed down his face as soon as he opened his mouth: "Sister Ya! Shi Hengjun has run away! Go and catch him, don't let him get away!!"
Despite her high intelligence, Sister Ya was still unable to process such complex information. She simply followed Wei Huan's orders, took control of the situation, and saved Liu Chengzhi.
Liu Chengzhi escaped from the man's grasp and saw the phone lying on the ground, still lit up, with the return button right in front of him.
But without thinking, he rushed out the door.
We can't let Shi Hengjun escape. His presence here is also a threat to the Northeast Army. We must capture these big rats who are digging holes in the Great Xia!
"Ah! Help! What is this? Bones? A necromancer!? Wei Huan is here?"
"Why are the Northeast Army here? We've been exposed! Quickly enter Challenge World!"
"Damn it, why can't I get in! No!!!"
Liu Chengzhi ran out with his hands tied. At first, he didn't think much about it. It wasn't until he stumbled through several intersections and came face to face with a battlefield that he calmed down a little.
He saw wolves and facehuggers attacking several people in the corridor.
The grotesque skeletons were frightening enough, but the facehuggers could ignore the terrain and hang upside down from the ceiling, creating an endless and ubiquitous barrage of attacks from above and below that was enough to drive anyone to despair.
However, the enemy's despair was Liu Chengzhi's ray of hope; the white bones that the enemy feared were his family in Liu Chengzhi's eyes.
"Stop biting these guys! Shi Hengjun has run away!!" Liu Chengzhi still tried to tell them this.
But the undead just fought on their own, their ferocity enough to be a terrifying nightmare for anyone.
Only when they see Liu Chengzhi do they become as obedient as a group of well-trained dogs, and they don't react even if Liu Chengzhi steps on them or kicks them.
Liu Chengzhi called out a few times but they didn't respond. He clicked his tongue, not even glancing at the guys screaming for help, and just kept running forward shouting, "Brother Anal! Brother Dog! Sister Crow! Can any of you understand me? I'm so desperate!!"
Liu Chengzhi was also blinded by concern and forgot Wei Huan's favorite fighting style—surround first, then gang up on him.
He followed his instincts and chased after the enemy, naturally straying further and further off course until he was completely going in the opposite direction.
...
Shi Hengjun ran deeper into the abandoned factory.
He was still holding his phone, his thumb tapping incessantly on the [Return] button, but he couldn't get it to work.
This was the first time he had encountered such a situation. Seven years had passed since the Challenge World was launched, and there had been no indication that he couldn't enter it.
"Is my phone broken?" he grumbled, turning to look at Iijima, who was following closely behind him. "You can't get in either? It's impossible that neither of us can get in, damn it! What did Wei Huan use?"
"Duan, or am I just naturally incompatible with him? How come he's everywhere? How did he find his way here?"
Iijima said, "Could it be related to this Ryu Seong-ji?"
Back when he was challenging the world, he had attacked Liu Chengzhi, but at that time he did not know that the person was Liu Chengzhi, and that his hand was lost because of Liu Chengzhi.
But Liu Chengzhi's reaction was off; he clearly knew Wei Huan, which made him think twice.
Just as they rushed down to the third basement level and passed the monitoring room, they saw not only Wei Huan's army of undead on the screen, but also several challengers who looked extremely powerful.
Judging from their style of doing things, they are clearly from the Legion!
"Where is Situ Zhengtao? Where is your leader? Let me see him! Make him come out!!"
This abandoned factory was actually the true secret core. When he tried to go any further, he was stopped by the people left behind in the base.
Six challengers with strength at the third rank blocked the passage, with a middle-aged man at the fourth rank standing in front of them.
The man was half-covered in steel armor; he was a top-tier soldier.
The man said, "This is a restricted area; you can't go any further. I'm in charge of this base; you can talk to me if you need anything."
Shi Hengjun's eyes kept catching glimpses of the ghostly figures appearing on the monitor. A sense of imminent fear gripped him like a knife. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Where's Situ Zhengtao? He told us to meet here, but where is he?"
"Commander Situ hasn't arrived yet. I just received orders to get you safely out of here. Come with me, Shi Hengjun." The other person emphasized the last word, and steel armor covered his face, his attitude cold and hard, refusing to talk any further.
Shi Hengjun knew very well that he couldn't just leave like this. He had been marginalized by his family, and this was his only chance to turn things around.
But he knew even more clearly that this base couldn't be held, especially the button that couldn't be returned to; if he didn't leave now, he would die here.
Power and death were intertwined in his mind, and he ultimately chose the latter.
However, before leaving, Shi Hengjun left a message: "I know what you've used this place for, and I also know you have a backup plan, so if you don't want to be traced, you should act now."
"And..." Shi Hengjun looked at Liu Chengzhi, who happened to appear on the monitor, and said, "This guy might have recruited him. He's the heir to Xinggang. If you just kill him, I think you'll have a way to take over Xinggang."
Shi Hengjun was unwilling to leave like this; he would only be satisfied if he took several lives with him.
Although he didn't know what the relationship was between Liu Chengzhi and Wei Huan, he was happy whenever Wei Huan was unhappy.
Thinking this, Shi Hengjun looked at his severed right hand again, his eyes overflowing with hatred.
It's happening again. Why does it always happen like this? It always gets in my way, that bastard!
Shi Hengjun was taken to a secret elevator that led directly to the top of the factory, where not only was a helicopter parked, but also several other aircraft.
Shi Hengjun remained silent the whole way, his face as cold as ice, but he didn't notice Sister Ya who was following him at a distance.
Although Sister Crow did not understand Liu Chengzhi's words, she followed Wei Huan's orders to carry out every single one of them. So after Liu Chengzhi chased after her, she also followed the orders and found Shi Hengjun.
Sister Ya had already reported to Wei Huan that Shi Hengjun had met up with the base leader and was preparing to escape by taking the elevator.
Wei Huan's view at this moment was high in the sky.
After the undead army began its operation, he controlled the Eye Lord to lower its altitude considerably.
Under his control, not a single person on the periphery escaped.
More undead are pouring into the abandoned factory, exploring every entrance.
If someone were to walk right to the middle of the abandoned factory at this moment, they would find a facehugger that is whiter and smoother than any of its kind, lying right there.
Its two long legs were raised, holding up something that looked like a remote control. Its back shell also carried something resembling a large megaphone, but with additional instruments. Because it was just casually placed there, it had been very careful on its journey and hadn't dared to move once it arrived, remaining lying there until now.
Without a doubt, the two things it carried were a small electromagnetic silence field created by Wei Huan using special items designed to challenge the world.
This is a "black technology" that is two years ahead of its time. It can block the entrance and exit of the Challenge World, making it impossible for people in this world to return to the Challenge World for a short period of time.
However, if someone returns from the Challenge World, there's no stopping them.
Right now, just below the facehugger's abdomen.
Deep underground, on the third floor, in a secret space where beacons converge, people are emerging one after another.
More than twenty people walked out.
Many of them were only level two challengers. After they came out, they picked up the explosive packs placed in the corner and hurriedly walked to different places.
There were also three fourth-tier challengers who, after gathering together, sped upwards with a clear goal in mind.
The situation suddenly became complicated as new forces joined the fray.
This is why Captain Wang immediately brought his men over after discovering that thousands of beacons had gathered here.
No one knew the strength of the enemy's reinforcements.
No one can get into trouble, L, especially Hui Weihuan.
With the assistance of the undead army, Captain Wang and his men pushed their way through and were about to reach the second basement level when three elite soldiers dressed in identical steel armor appeared.
The [Farmer Sequence] is the class with the most challenges in the world, and it's also the most useful. They are tanky, powerful, have high combat strength, and strong survivability; a small team of two or three can easily form an action squad, making them a favorite among various factions.
Those dispatched to carry out missions are mostly elite soldiers.
When two elite soldiers meet, there's no point in wasting time; they just get to work.
In an instant, the two sides clashed like Mars colliding with Earth. Amidst the deafening roar, the already dilapidated factory collapsed, raising clouds of dust and smoke.
The Archmage and Priest provided damage from the rear, and there was also a Healer among them.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew by, and a figure appeared out of nowhere behind the healer, slashing down hard with a knife.
The opponent's Level 4 Shadowless Technique has appeared!!
The Shadowless One's long-awaited attack landed on the Divine Healer's head, giving no one a chance to react, and was about to kill the Divine Healer in one blow.
However, the next second, a dark shadow suddenly appeared behind the healer, and a cloud of black mist suddenly enveloped the shadowless figure.
The invisible hand remained motionless on the back of the healer's head.
As if they had coordinated a thousand times, the healer rolled on the spot and ended up between the two great mages.
A special magnetic field formed around the two archmages.
The field enveloped all four ranged attackers in the back row, plus this shadowless figure.
At the same time, the Demon Shepherd pulled out a dagger from behind and slashed at the Shadowless's neck.
As Wuying broke free from the shadows, he felt a sudden weight on his body, as if ten times the force was pressing down on him. He could barely lift his hand and could only watch helplessly as the dagger slashed toward him.
Her pupils contracted, and she reached her limit after barely dodging the first attack.
The second cut slashed her neck, cutting right up to her throat bone, and the third cut pierced her heart.
The shepherd wielding the knife was also a girl, but her hands were very steady and her eyes were cold.
After the three strikes, it leaped out of the magnetic field and drew its bow again, firing three arrows that landed precisely on the enemy's elite soldier.
The blow caused the opponent to stumble, simultaneously creating an opportunity for Captain Wang and Liu Xiaotian to attack.
Furthermore, after the two archmages' magnetic fields disappeared, the dark shadow seemed to have finally passed its cooldown period and reappeared, climbing onto the healer's back.
It was a battle that shone brightly with its exquisite teamwork. If Wei Huan hadn't been nearby, he would have cheered if he had witnessed it firsthand.
This is a perfect combat squad that has been honed to perfection.
Although their individual strength is not very high, they can easily face any opponent of the same level or even stronger.
After all, there are only so many geniuses who can challenge the world; most are ordinary people who have been tempered and trained and have strong beliefs.
Their strength comes from within, from daily training year after year, and from the mutual trust and support among teammates.
"Go!" The warriors, having finally realized that their side was outnumbered, shouted for a retreat.
The three elite soldiers fought and retreated, fleeing towards the underground core area, which was also the direction Shi Hengjun had fled in.
"Don't let them get away, be careful." Captain Wang and his men followed closely behind.
They chased and attacked simultaneously.
The three elite soldiers, who had just returned from challenging the world, were chased and beaten in a sorry state, and were almost killed on the spot. The situation only improved when five more comrades arrived.
Although the attackers were only at the Sequence 3 level, their numbers gave them an advantage, allowing them to barely save the lives of the three elite soldiers. They fought their way back underground.
Soon, Captain Wang noticed that the newcomer looked flustered and lacked fighting spirit, his eyes constantly darting around, searching for an escape route.
"Wei Huan? What's their plan?"
Captain Wang, as the "spearhead," can bravely charge forward, but he does need logistical support and intelligence.
Wei Huan's Ghost Crows were one of the best methods he had ever seen for gathering intelligence.
It's truly enviable; they possess strong combat capabilities and intelligence gathering abilities. The Gravekeeper sequence is excessively powerful.
Wei Huan's response came quickly through the earpiece.
"They buried a lot of explosives underground in the factory."
The first to answer was Liu Xiaotian, "Huh? If we bury them here, won't those people come out?"
Captain Wang glanced at Liu Xiaotian, knowing he spoke without thinking, but far too without thinking.
Wei Huan didn't even bother to answer him.
What is the War Clan? The War Clan is a group of madmen who treat the Challenge World as their main world and Blue Star as their secondary world. They don't mind burying this place; they're alive no matter which way they go.
Perhaps some people who are mediocre on Earth will thrive and live a more comfortable life when they go to challenge the world?
So blowing this place up must be because they're retreating and want to eliminate as many clues as possible. If they can also take a few lives in the process, that would be even better.
Thinking of this, Captain Wang asked Wei Huan, "Can we try to stall? There must be a monitoring room in the base. If we can make a copy, we will get more intelligence about the War Clan."
Wei Huan said, "The monitoring room is in the northwest corner of the third basement level. I can make sure that the bombs in that direction will not explode. I cannot make the same promise for other places."
"Very good, let's go to the third basement level now."
Just then, the enemy was forced to retreat downwards and arrived at the entrance to the third underground level. Captain Wang led the pursuit down, but could only see blood on the ground and no one else.
However, if you look up, you can see facehuggers crawling out from the ceiling and the sides of the walls, spreading all the way to the end of the corridor.
This scene almost gives the impression that they are the evil ones.
Following Wei Huan's directions, Captain Wang quickly found the monitoring room, and there were no enemies along the way.
"There's another exit here," Captain Wang said with certainty.
Wei Huan responded through the earpiece: "Yes, you can find it by following the direction of the dead."
Captain Wang then realized that there were no more facehuggers here; they had all swarmed in another direction. However, he was more concerned about other things than chasing after the defeated enemy.
The equipment in the monitoring room has stopped working, and the main power switch has been damaged.
The main unit and its hard drive were also damaged; they were violently attacked by professionals and have been deformed into a discus.
Among the high-ranking mages brought along, one was skilled in electronic devices. After observing L for a while, he said, "The main hard drive is severely damaged; it's estimated that only a small portion can be recovered. However, I know the model of this surveillance equipment, and there's also a cloud drive. If we restore the power before the other party reacts, I can copy the information from the past week."
Upon hearing this, Captain Wang pressed the button on his earpiece: "Wei Huan, I'm counting on you for the northwest corner."
Wei Huan said, "Try to avoid the first wave of damage. After turning off the battery shielding device, you can go back to the car. Be careful."
"Okay." After saying that, Captain Wang put down his hand and immediately arranged for everyone to get busy.
The Healer and the Demon Shepherd are two girls in the team; one is ruthless and valiant, while the other is gentle, kind, strong, and brave.
The two worked together to restore power and couldn't help but chat for a bit: "This Wei Huan doesn't seem like a newbie at all. Not only can he make signal jammers, but he's also very familiar with the atmosphere of the battlefield. And have you noticed? We normal people subconsciously regard Earth as home and are bound by Earth's rules. But he is clearly skilled at traveling between the two worlds and has extremely accurate judgment and application."
"Yes, thankfully he's one of us. I can't imagine what would happen if he were on the opposite side of humanity."
...
Wei Huan's headphones were silent. Captain Wang was busy leading his team underground, and Wei Huan also had his own things to do.
A group of people who seemed to be important escaped. If Sister Crow hadn't informed him, he wouldn't have known that this seemingly topped-out factory actually had a hidden platform that had been converted into a take-off and landing platform for aerial units.
He controlled the Demon Eye Lord to fly down, and just as they arrived at the platform, they saw...
The sunroof was opened, and a helicopter with its rotors spinning at full speed was slowly taking off.
Below the helicopter, several other aircraft were hovering in mid-air, with various professionals standing on them, all at the Sequence Three level.
This author, Jingzhou Xiaoyao, reminds you that the latest chapters of "Highway Survival: God-Tier Treasure Chest Start" are updated first on [website name]. Remember to 'come here to see the latest chapters and the complete chapters'.
However, there were still too few means of transportation available. Many more people were surrounded by the army of the undead and fought their way here, only to find in despair that there was no way to leave.
But they did not run away.
Clearly, most of the people here who were able to be sent back to carry out the mission at this time were not ordinary people, and they did not think there was anything wrong with such an order.
Wei Huan's undead army was blocked outside by these professionals, and died in droves.
The passage limited the numerical advantage of the undead army; the individual combat strength of the undead was still too low.
The helicopters and aircraft took off without any hindrance, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief when the skylights opened normally.
But the next second, as they looked up, their pupils dilated, and despair appeared in everyone's eyes at the same time.
Before their eyes, seven demonic eye lords hovered in mid-air, their large green eyes staring straight at them, their eyes gathering light, ready to pounce.
Behind them, there were also large patches of dark clouds formed by ghostly crows, all emitting a noisy "cawing" sound.
Like a net hanging over our heads.
Before they could think any further, the undead army, which had been poised to strike, launched a fierce attack.
The black beams of the Demon Eye Lord all landed on the helicopter, and the next second there was a loud "boom" as the helicopter exploded, sending metal fragments flying and thick smoke billowing out.
Inside the helicopter, the look of terror on Shi Hengjun's face was almost frozen at the moment he was engulfed by flames, followed by a pain that made him panic, and then he lost consciousness and fell into darkness.
Am I dead?
Before falling into a coma, Shi Hengjun asked himself unwillingly, "Am I going to die like cannon fodder?"
I don't want to die, I don't want to die, I don't want to die!!
Before being enveloped by an even denser darkness and pulled into the abyss, Shi Hengjun mobilized all his consciousness and rushed towards that ball of light.
Then, in the instant it lunged towards the light, it was as if it had been resurrected from the dead, taking a long breath into its lungs and expelling the painful suffocation.
Excruciating pain!
It hurts so much! My whole body aches!
Ah—help! I'd rather be dead, it hurts so much! Is this hell?
Shi Hengjun looked at the sky, feeling dizzy and trembling. The immense pain made him wonder if all the bones in his body were broken.
He was like a piece of porcelain riddled with cracks, the shapes pieced together all stained with blood.
He thought he should be dead, but why was he still alive? Why was he still alive when he was in so much pain and suffering?
But since we are still alive, we cannot let ourselves die.
He mustered all his strength, picked up the equally broken phone beside him, and pressed the button once again.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, another explosion rang out, right before his eyes, blowing the entire factory away.
Before his eyes, shattered bricks and iron fragments exploded like flowers, and amidst the dazzling flames and light, a blue petal fell toward him.
Spinning and whistling through the air, it approached from afar and landed right in front of him before he could see it more clearly.
"Whoosh!"
It fell like a guillotine, splitting him in two.
Before he was even sure what was leaving him, the countdown to his [return] had finally begun.
The blurred vision of light and fire, and the pungent smell of gunpowder, all vanished in the next second.
He returned to the car, a completely safe environment, and breathed heavily.
Hearing the commotion, Mei ran over and then let out a shrill scream.
"Aaaaaahhhhhh—"
He collapsed to the ground.
Shi Hengjun suddenly looked down as if he had just thought of something.
Beneath the mangled half of the body, a pair of legs were severed at the root, and bright red blood flowed onto the floor, quickly covering it.
Shi Hengjun stared blankly at the place where there should have been legs, then gasped for breath and collapsed to the ground again.
This time, while unconscious, I suddenly remembered a month ago, a figure lying in the ruins, looking just as disheveled and motionless as if dead.
At that time, he was not yet a challenger, but he was already a member of the family's core power structure.
His father took him on this mission, allowing him to witness firsthand the tragic fall of a rising star.
His father said, "See? In the future, such a genius will steal your resources, steal your teammates, steal everything from you, then laugh at you, and finally kill you."
If you don't want to have everything taken away and then be killed, then go and rob and kill, even if it's by despicable means. Resources are limited, and only the victors deserve to enjoy them!
