Chapter 56: War God

One of the two people was a man in his thirties holding a thick alloy shield in one hand and a long knife in the other.
The other one, a young man in his twenties, was holding a halberd and looking at the monsters chasing the crowd below.
The Martial Artist with the halberd said, “Ding Yan, how about it? We didn’t come here for nothing, right? I saw this giant palm bear in Oil City before. At that time, I felt that it was on the edge of evolution, but it was still B-level, and I didn’t bother to kill it, just waiting for it to evolve to A-level.”
Ding Yan, holding a long knife and shield, smiled, “Bai Feng, we didn’t come in vain, but the strength of this Human Bear isn’t weak, and it has so many subordinates. If we are to face it, we might not be able to kill it and, instead, will be stuck here.”
“Who said we’re going to face off against so many monsters? My goal is over there.”
Bai Feng pointed at the stadium, and Ding Yan was puzzled, “What are you going to do there?”
“Hehe, Ding Yan, you are a Primary War God, and you have recently entered the
War God Realm, so you don’t know the characteristics of A-level Mutant Beasts.”
“Oh! In that case, I’d like to ask for your advice, Bai Feng. Don’t keep it to yourself.”
“It’s simple. For a B-level Mutated Beast to evolve to A-level, it’s not that easy, otherwise, the whole world would be full of A-levels, and there would be no place for humans to survive. They want to evolve, but they must first meet a condition.” “What condition?”
“Energy! First of all, energy. The place where it wants to evolve must be a place with sufficient energy, and the source of energy is meteorites.”
“What? Meteorites? Is there energy in them? Aren’t those things contraband?” Ding Yan said, incredulously.
“You really don’t deserve to be a War God. Why do you think meteorites are contraband? It’s because they contain energy. I have a friend in the Department of Science who told me that there are many good things in meteorites. Not only are they greatly beneficial to humans, but they are also beneficial to Mutated Beasts. The Human Bear came to Yi Lan injured, but now it’s not only alive and kicking, it’s evolved. So this meteorite must not be ordinary, and I have to get my hands on it.”
“But… it’s contraband…
“Psh! If you don’t want it, I brought you along as a favor, since you’re my friend. If you don’t want it, I can take it all by myself. Who cares about contraband? Which War God doesn’t have contraband? Base City doesn’t even allow killing people, but which War God hasn’t killed people? Those things are just used to suppress the weak. War Gods never have to worry about this. When we run into problems, there is the War God Alliance to sanction us; neither Base City nor the military authorities have the qualifications to do so.”
The War God Alliance is also subordinate to the Martial Artists Union, or rather, it’s the higher-ups of the Martial Artists Union. Every well-known War God will register with the War God Alliance. The current leader of the Hua Xia War God Alliance is Gale, the founder of Gale Martial Arts Hall.
Finally, Ding Yan was tempted, “What are you going to do?”
“It’s easy. We’ll enter the stadium now and get the meteorite, and when I go in, the Human Bear will definitely come back. You need to hold it off for three minutes, and then we’ll be successful.”
“Alright, let’s do it!” Ding Yan waved his shield and made up his mind.
“Let’s go!”
The two jumped down from the building, and with a light touch of their feet, they dashed about ten meters and arrived at the entrance of the stadium in the blink of an eye.
Bai Feng entered the stadium, and Ding Yan stayed at the entrance to block the Human Bear.
A roar came from the stadium, followed by the sound of combat from inside. Obviously, there were still monsters inside.
The giant palm bear, which was hunting Martial Artists, suddenly roared and turned to run back into the stadium, followed by its henchmen. They stopped chasing the remaining Martial Artists.
Lin Zhen saw this and didn’t watch any further. Instead, he turned around and came out of his hiding place, holding a large piece of a board in his hand.
This board used to be a door. Lin Zhen stepped on it and activated his mental power. The door flew up, shook in the air for a moment, and then stabilized.
“In the Golden Stage, one can use mental power to manipulate objects for flight. I am in the Golden Early Stage now, and I can already fly hundreds of miles. This is an ability that even War Gods do not possess.”
Stepping on the door panel, Lin Zhen soared into the sky, heading directly toward the direction where the Martial Artists were fleeing.
The Martial Artists, chased around and scattered, were now heading in different directions. At this moment, the sky was dim, and no one noticed Lin Zhen in the sky.
Lin Zhen quickly locked onto his target: one man and two women.
The man was Zhou Tie, the captain of the Demon God Squad, the only survivor among the gunners.
The two women were Li Mengxi and Ruoruo. They were both snipers, so they didn’t go to the front lines during the battle, which was why they miraculously survived. Zhou Tie was running towards their location, so it was easy for Lin Zhen to find them.
The three of them were panting and running for a while, and when they saw the monsters suddenly retreating, a wave of exhaustion flooded over them. They found a corner and slumped to the ground.
“It’s over! Hua Xiaofeng was eaten by the demon wolf, Kong Shan was torn apart by the monkeys, and not even a bone is left. Only I am left among the gunners. The spoils of today’s battle are all gone, not even a bit was brought out. A whole truckload of stuff, worth two or three billion, is gone just like that.’
Zhou Tie was lying on the ground in despair, his eyes dark.
This time was a huge loss. First, they lost a billion to the Demon Hunters, then lost two teammates and didn’t manage to get the spoils. Even the armored vehicle was left there, so they would have to pay a large sum of money to the military later. This time was practically a bankruptcy.
Everything was so beautiful before. Li Mengxi seemed to have intended to give herself to him, but ever since Lin Zhen appeared, everything changed.
Li Mengxi changed her mind, they lost money, and then disasters began to strike. Even when Li Tianhao leaked information and they tried to use Mutated birds to ambush the Demon Hunters, they failed.
“Lin Zhen, you’re really a jinx. As long as I get through this, I’ll make sure your entire family dies!”
Cursing Lin Zhen in his heart, Zhou Tie didn’t even want to move. They had been fighting all day and then chased by Mutated Beasts. At this moment, he had no strength left and soon fell asleep on the ground.
Ruoruo’s hands and feet were soft as she leaned against the wall, feeling terrified and unsure about the future of the Demon God Squad. It’s even uncertain if they can leave Yi Lan County smoothly.
Just as she was feeling terrified, she suddenly heard a gunshot right next to her ear.
Ruoruo immediately stood up, “What’s going on? Are there Mutated Beasts coming… Ah! Mengxi, what are you doing? Are you crazy?”
Li Mengxi was standing next to Zhou Tie, putting the gun away.. Zhou Tie’s temple had been blown away, leaving a big hole, and he was dead as a doornail!
