...
"Ordinary people without abilities, aren't they just ants." The black-robed Hunter said in a low voice, "Without us fighting against those strange creatures, how would ordinary people have peaceful lives... They should be grateful instead of lording it over us..."
Zhong Ling did not continue to converse with him. In response, she directly sent two strange corpses forward, sealing off the black-robed Hunter on both sides.
If things couldn't be resolved peacefully, then violence would have to be relied upon.
"You're not a Hunter, but you have that kind of power... You understand very well how it feels to have extraordinary strength. You should understand, we are the sa kind of people, we are the future of humanity." The black-robed Hunter continued, "As for these ordinary people, they are just failed inferior products of evolution and will eventually be eliminated by this world..."
"These remarks... too dangerous." The officer couldn't help but take two steps back... He had already adjusted the recorder fixed to his chest to high-definition mode. These images and sounds had all been recorded and transmitted in real-ti back to the information processing center of Tianfu City.
"I just feel like this guy isn't quite right." The sergeant also sensed sothing amiss, tossing the rifle back to the soldier who had just taken a slap, then drew out his pistol.
However, he did not directly aim the gun at the black-robed Hunter, rely pointed it askew at the ground, while tightly pressing his thumb against the safety switch above the grip.
"Be careful, all of you," the sergeant said in a deep voice to the sentry soldiers behind him, "keep your fingers under control, don't let the fucking gun go off accidentally."
On the other side, the soldiers of the patrol convoy also got off the vehicles one after another, gathered behind the lieutenant, looking at each other, not knowing what to do for a mont.
Two super-powered individuals were in a standoff, and one had made extrely subversive statents... However, without orders from higher-ups, even if the black-robed Hunter directly said he wanted to rebel, as long as he didn't actively attack these soldiers, the soldiers had no right to shoot him.
Subversive rhetoric doesn't an actual rebellion... Without taking action, it can entirely be excused as "angry talk," "ntal illness," or "unclear consciousness".
The Xiazhou Federation Governnt's control over Hunters is very strict, but they are also very "tolerant" towards Hunters' various illegal and irregular behaviors—as long as it's not a particularly serious cri, as long as the Hunter is still willing to obey the Federation Governnt's orders, it's rare for a Hunter to be sentenced to death or life imprisonnt... even detention is rare.
The most common punishnt is fines and making ands through ritorious service.
Only those whose infection process spirals out of control or who experience uncontrollable tic mutations are "rendered harmless."
"Kid." The sergeant lightly nudged the lieutenant's arm, "Have you ever seen an out-of-control Hunter?"
"An out-of-control Hunter?" The lieutenant shook his head.
"I've seen one... That ti, in order to suppress that monster, two whole platoons of soldiers were wiped out... In the end, heavy weapons were mobilized, and they razed the entire building to the ground to kill it." The sergeant said.
After saying this, the sergeant glanced back at the rear barricade.
Behind the sandbag barricade, a heavy machine gun with a 12.7mm caliber was mounted, in addition to a twin-barreled 25mm anti-aircraft gun on the off-road vehicle parked at the back... Except for the explosives carried by the soldiers, these two weapons were the only "heavy weapons" at this outpost.
The weapons and equipnt on the convoy side are about equal—the 35mm caliber cannon on the light armored vehicle is their strongest firepower.
Of course, in terms of combat power, the two super-powered individuals accompanying the convoy are the strongest force, and the soldiers and weapons are just supporting roles... To put it more bluntly, the two super-powered individuals are the core of the entire patrol convoy, and everyone else is configured to assist them.
"This... this shouldn't turn into a fight, right?" The lieutenant mumbled.
"It's hard to say." The sergeant shook his head, "This Puppet Master and that Hunter... which one is stronger?"
"I... I don't know..." The lieutenant was also at a loss, "I've never seen them in action..."
"Didn't they just take action?" The sergeant glanced at the lieutenant speechlessly.
"I can't tell who's stronger... I don't study this... they didn't teach this in military school..." The lieutenant said helplessly.
"I think you've just studied too much, your brain has beco stiff." The sergeant pulled the lieutenant back a couple of steps, "The strange corpses under the Puppet Master's control, especially the one that just saved , clearly have more strength than this Hunter... The Hunter didn't react in ti, and his claws were cut off. In my opinion, the Puppet Master was holding back... If it really cos to a fight, none of the other strange corpses need to intervene, just that one strange corpse could tear this Hunter to pieces."
"R-really?" The lieutenant looked at the two facing off, then at the sergeant, "Then this shouldn't turn into a fight, right? The Puppet Master seems very calm, with her controlling the situation, this conflict should..."
"That's not certain... I say the Hunter can't beat the Puppet Master in a normal situation," the sergeant said.
"A normal situation? What's an abnormal situation?"
