"Clang clang clang—"
Not a single bullet could penetrate the defensive periter. They were all intercepted, exploding into countless fiery sparks.
The soldiers emptied their magazines, peering through the smoke to see Shangguan Li standing there unhard, surrounded by bullets lted and dropped by laser weapons.
"Damn! That person has prosthetics!"
"I’ll handle this!" A sturdy soldier rushed forward, his body fully implanted with Stringently Managed Level 3 prosthetics, making him one of the elite in the base.
"Little girl, you’re unlucky to be facing ." This soldier, experienced in combat, knew to aim for weaknesses, deliberately avoiding a direct confrontation with Shangguan Li, instead kicking at the Polo she was holding close.
In order to protect Polo, Shangguan Li turned her back to take the blow, knocked over a surgical table.
The soldier laughed arrogantly, "Ha ha, I’m trained in martial arts!"
After finishing his sentence, he tried the sa move, aiming a kick at Polo again, "Take my left front kick!"
Shangguan Li steadied herself, her hand moving gracefully like a water bird, skillfully catching the soldier’s ankle and instantly redirecting his attack with finesse.
Before the soldier could halt his montum, Shangguan Li’s finger pointed like a sword, piercing his heart gate.
The laser beam destroyed his energy core, causing him to tremble violently, paralyzed on the spot, with sparks of malfunction erupting all over his body.
With another stab to his forehead, Shangguan Li shattered his brain, swiftly neutralizing him.
She wiped the blood off her fingers onto the wall and stepped over the soldier’s corpse with an expressionless face, "If you want to fight, then fight, enough with all this talking."
The elite prosthetic implanter couldn’t last beyond two moves and perished; the remaining soldiers were frightened and could only shoot in vain.
With Polo in her arms, Shangguan Li moved through them as if in an uninhabited zone, killing in a whirlwind of motion, soldiers dropping like domino pieces.
Each one’s body unscathed, only a faint, yet lethal red mark remaining on their foreheads.
In less than 30 seconds, dozens of soldiers who rushed into the surgical area were obliterated by Shangguan Li.
Holding Polo, she jumped into the ventilation duct, crawling while calling Su Mo, "Found Polo."
Su Mo, "How is it..."
Shangguan Li, "Any later and she’d be gone... don’t worry, still alive, perfectly fine."
You could noticeably hear Su Mo breathe a sigh of relief, "Don’t get caught up in battle, imdiately withdraw with her and return to Saint Rivelan, leave the rest to ."
...
While Shangguan Li reported the good news to Su Mo, the bad news concurrently reached Wacai.
Furious, Wacai drew his gun and aid at Su Mo, hurling curses, "I *Civilization Beyond* you dog rcenaries! How dare you act insolently on my turf, huh? I am General Wacai!"
Knowing Polo was okay, Su Mo felt a lot lighter, tauntingly retorting, "Destroying your *Civilization Crescent* army, what can you do?"
Wacai glared and sneered, "Think that saving a person ans you’ve won? Huh? Without a ship, how will you escape?"
"Pass my orders, have the people at the dock prepare artillery, all ships to set sail imdiately, sink any that dare approach the shore!"
After giving the orders, he cursed at Su Mo, "You stupid pig, huh! Don’t you know whose territory this is!"
"Ever heard that saying? Cutting off soone’s financial path is like killing one’s parents! Huh! I’ll surely kill a few of you today!"
"Cutting off soone’s financial path is like killing one’s parents?" Su Mo’s face twisted into a strange cold smile as he slowly said, "How coincidental, isn’t it? I not only like cutting off financial paths but also enjoy killing parents."
...
The Wacai Base covers a large area, with many different zones.
In the back mountain entertainnt area, there is a beast fighting arena, which frequently hosts beast fighting shows, ant to entertain Wacai and other senior officials.
At this mont, Wacai’s parents sat in the audience, witnessing a battle between humans and beasts in the arena.
The human side consisted of five individuals, both male and female, considered "losers" in the base due to their low abilities and poor performance, known as "pigs".
The fate of these pigs often falls into three categories.
The best outco is being sold to other ard warlords, where perhaps a change in environnt might offer a sliver of survival chance.
Generally, they are thrown into dical rooms for blood extraction, organs harvested, dismantled and sold piece by piece, completely devoured in every sense.
However, that’s the better scenario.
Dying in a dical room at least happens quickly; once the pain passes, they’re gone.
The worst fate is becoming human toys, used to entertain the high-ranking officials, dying slowly, dying in agony without any dignity.
At this mont, five n and won wielding rudintary cold weapons were crying and fleeing within the beast fighting arena.
What they faced was a "Servant-level Special Class" chanical Ferocious Beast nad Steel Spike Boar.
The Steel Spike Boar was about the size of a lion, with brutal strength that could easily hunt full-grown wild elephants, and a body covered in steel-like spikes.
The spikes of the Steel Spike Boar normally attach to its body, forming an indestructible protective layer, but can be launched out with a power comparable to bullets at critical monts.
The makeshift weapons in the hands of five n and won were barely enough to deal with ordinary wild boars, let alone the Steel Spike Boar, specifically bred for slaughter, leaving them only in a disheveled retreat.
However, the Steel Spike Boar’s behavior was abnormal, it didn’t imdiately kill the five people, instead, it deliberately held back its strength, bumping this one and stepping on that one, purposely teasing them.
If observed closely, you’d find a flashing red bloodstain on the Steel Spike Boar’s forehead.
anwhile, in the spectator seats, a woman stood beside Wacai’s parents, with a similar glowing mark on her forehead, both blinking at the sa frequency.
All signs indicated that this woman was a Spiritual Brain Modifier.
"Ah Tang, hurry up and kill one. What’s the point of all this bumping around?" Father Wa complained, arms crossed.
Wa Mother tapped his leg: "Watch slowly, what’s the rush? Son catching boars isn’t easy."
Ah Tang smiled awkwardly: "I... who should I listen to?"
Father Wa brushed away Wa Mother’s hand, sternly said: "Listen to , I’m the head of the family, even our son has to listen to !"
Wa Mother rolled her eyes and fell silent.
"Yes." Ah Tang replied.
In the Beast Fighting Arena, the Steel Spike Boar’s attack suddenly intensified, charging at a man.
The man was forced into a corner, with nowhere to escape, he could only desperately raise a small wooden shield in front of him, screaming in despair.
"Boom!" The Steel Spike Boar crushed him and the shield against the wall, smashing them into pieces.
Father Wa laughed and clapped heartily: "Now that’s entertaining! Ah Tang, continue!"
As Father Wa and Wa Mother enjoyed this feast of slaughter, a nearby guard’s gaze suddenly sharpened: "Who’s there?!"
"Pew—" A bright blue beam pierced through the guard’s head, killing him instantly.
Ah Tang’s expression changed, quickly pulling the stunned Father Wa and Wa Mother: "Careful! There’s a situation!"
At the sa ti, she controlled the Steel Spike Boar to leap onto the stage, guarding the trio.
Two figures jumped onto the stage from behind.
Dongdong, one hand in her pocket, matched photos with Father Wa and Wa Mother, saying: "Hey, finally found you two old bastards."
Chu Nanyi looked at the Steel Spike Boar and laughed outright: "Why is there a pig here? Good pigs don’t block the way, get lost."
Ah Tang didn’t waste words with them, pulling Father Wa and Wa Mother behind cover and manipulating the Steel Spike Boar to charge.
Dongdong snorted disdainfully, activating bullet ti to counterattack head-on.
"Boom!"
Her heavy fist hit the Steel Spike Boar’s forehead, the hard skull caved in, and it died instantly.
Undercover, Ah Tang held her forehead, shaking her head to stay clear, clearly suffering from the empathetic feedback brought by the Spiritual Brain.
Dongdong was about to pursue when three more Steel Spike Boars rushed out to block the path, their steel spikes pointed at her.
However, before their bullet-like steel spikes could launch, Chu Nanyi gathered a bright blue mark in his palm, firing three consecutive lasers.
"Pew, pew, pew—"
Chu Nanyi’s remote laser weapon, Stringently Managed Level 2, easily dealt with a Servant-level Special Class chanical Ferocious Beast, an entire grade below.
The three Steel Spike Boars’ steel spikes failed to block the lasers, their heads were pierced, and they stumbled to the ground.
Ah Tang’s face turned even worse, her nose bleeding.
Laser weapons don’t use gunpowder, no smoke, yet Chu Nanyi pretentiously blew the barrel in his palm, saying: "Anyone who offends Sister Dong shall be exterminated from afar!"
Dongdong’s eyes rolled almost to the back of her head.
Just as the two prepared to capture Father Wa and Wa Mother, the spectators’ platform suddenly vibrated.
Not only did the platform shake, but the entire Beast Fighting Arena trembled, as if sothing was about to burst out of the ground.
The next mont, the ground beneath them rose rapidly, accompanied by a sharp, distorted insect noise, a huge shadow roared out.
Chu Nanyi quickly retreated to a safe position, his previously frivolous expression turned serious: "Sister Dong, watch out! The big one’s here!"
