Doomsday police, please show your god/demon ID card.

Lei Lie shuddered, and his previously cloudy eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light.

He sat up abruptly, ignoring the soreness in his body, and crawled to the vicinity of the ventilation opening, holding his breath.

Then, it slightly opened its mouth and made a sound like a cat meowing.

A few minutes later.

A teasing female voice drifted in on the night breeze.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Captain Lei, you're really having a tough time!"

"A dignified Tier 3 gene enhancer, not only stripped of his equipment, but also chained up here like livestock to mine!"

"If this gets back to the provincial capital, you'll make our operations department lose all face."

As the sound faded, a woman wearing a tight leather jacket and sunglasses slowly stepped into the mine.

Behind her were two agile men in black.

"A poisonous snake?"

Lei Lie recognized the person and his face lit up with joy: "You're the leader? That's great!"

The woman in front of him, codenamed "Viper," may not be as good as him in direct combat, but she excels at infiltration and assassination, making her one of the most troublesome characters in the company.

"Alright, let's save the reminiscing for when we get back."

Viper glanced at the electronic collar around Lei Lie's neck, then pulled out a remote-like device from his waist, his fingers flying across the keyboard.

drop--

With a soft click, the red light around Lei Lie and his team members' necks instantly went out, and the latches automatically popped open.

"Huff..." Lei Lie ripped off the collar and slammed it to the ground, as if he had unloaded a heavy burden.

"Tell me, how did you get caught?" Viper asked casually while signaling his men to be on guard. "I don't think the base's defenses are so tight that you wouldn't have any chance to escape."

Lei Lie's face was grim, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "The intelligence is wrong! Seriously wrong!"

"This base has considerable combat power; in addition to conventional weaponry, it also employs mutants!"

"Their leader can unleash a powerful vine; I suspect he's a mutated enhanced human. He's the one who captured me back then."

"Sounds a bit like a plant-based system?" the viper mused. "Anything else?"

"And one more, a naturally awakened one!"

"A natural awakener? Are you sure?" Viper frowned slightly, genuinely surprised this time.

"That's right! And not just any ordinary Awakened One, but a mental one! If that woman just glances at you, your brain will feel like it's going to explode!"

"A mental awakener?" Viper's eyes narrowed slightly behind his sunglasses. "That explains it."

She paused, then looked at Lei Lie with a suspicious expression.

"You didn't betray the company's information, did you? There aren't many people who can withstand a mentally awakened being."

A hint of guilt flashed in Lei Lie's eyes.

"No! I am absolutely loyal to the company, how could I possibly betray it?"

"Let's leave here first."

The venomous snake nodded.

However, at that moment...

Snapped!

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

More than a dozen high-powered military searchlights suddenly lit up at the same time without warning!

The blinding white light instantly illuminated the dim mine as if it were daytime. Lei Lie, Poisonous Snake, and the others instinctively raised their hands to shield their eyes, their vision filled with a white blur.

Immediately afterwards, a rough voice boomed out with the amplification of the loudspeaker.

"Oh my, we've been waiting for you all!"

"I thought I'd be feeding mosquitoes again tonight, but wow, our 'entrapment' actually caught a big fish!"

"Seriously, is your provincial capital short of manpower? The rescue team you sent looks even weaker than this guy surnamed Lei!"

Lei Lie's heart tightened. He squinted and saw the group of people blocking the mine exit.

The leader, a burly man like a black bear, wasn't carrying a gun. Instead, he was holding a bright red apple, taking a big bite with it, juice splattering everywhere.

Wang Hu!

Lei Lie stared intently at that face, his teeth grinding together.

He will never forget that big guy.

It was at that so-called public trial, in front of thousands of people, that they threatened him, hit him in the face with a gun butt, and subjected him to all sorts of humiliation.

"Wang Hu!"

Lei Lie forced out those two words through gritted teeth, his eyes bloodshot: "You have a path to heaven but choose not to, you've chosen the path to hell!"

If Tang Long or that terrifying Su Yan were here, Lei Lie would turn around and run without saying a word.

But now?

There was only one Wang Hu, with a dozen or so ordinary-looking guards.

Viper calmed down, his cold gaze sweeping over the surroundings: "Just this many people? No snipers, no heavy firepower... Are you too confident, or just too stupid?"

"Treating you few small fry is already giving you a lot of face."

Wang Hu casually tossed the apple core behind him, twisted his neck, and made a crisp "crackling" sound.

He looked at Lei Lie with a sinister grin: "Hey Lei, Captain Tang is kind-hearted, you don't even appreciate being allowed to mine properly."

"Since you're trying to run, don't blame me for breaking your other leg too!"

"You're asking for death!!" Lei Lie roared, and the ground beneath his feet cracked.

New and old grudges surged into his heart. Although his body was weak, he still had the foundation of a third-level enhancer!

This burst of speed was astonishing; the person turned into a blur, like a cannonball fired straight at Wang Hu's face!

"Die!"

Lei Lie's fist whistled through the air with a sharp, tearing sound.

He was confident that this punch could blow up even a car on the spot!

however.

Faced with this thunderous attack, Wang Hu neither dodged nor flinched, nor even adopted a defensive stance. He simply grinned, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth.

"Idiot."

when!

A resounding metallic clang echoed throughout the entire mine!

Lei Lie's fist slammed heavily into Wang Hu's chest, but it felt like hitting a mountain of flesh. The enormous recoil traveled up his arm, causing his bones to ache and his tiger's mouth to split open.

"What?"

Lei Lie's pupils contracted violently.

On Wang Hu's exposed skin, a dark golden luster had appeared at some point, shining brightly under the searchlight, making him look like a Vajra Arhat!

Even the muscle texture beneath the clothes looked as if it had been poured with molten copper.

"You...you...you're a mutant enhanced being? How is that possible?"

Lei Lie's face was full of disbelief, and his eyes were wide open.

Even in the provincial capital, mutant enhanced individuals are extremely rare. How could one possibly just pop up in this godforsaken Dongyun City?

"You got it right, but there's no prize."

Wang Hu chuckled, and his large, fan-like hand suddenly reached out and grabbed Lei Lie's wrist before he could retract it.

"Did you have a good time just now? Now it's my turn!"

boom!

Wang Hu exerted force with one arm, his dark golden muscles bulging, and actually swung Lei Lie up and slammed him to the ground like a broken sack!

boom!

Smoke and dust rose, and gravel flew everywhere.

Lei Lie coughed up a mouthful of blood, feeling as if his internal organs had shifted.

"Damn it! The intelligence was all wrong!"

On the other side, seeing the situation was not good, the venomous snake slid out two poisoned daggers in his hands and rushed towards Wang Hu's back like a ghost, attempting to relieve the siege by attacking from the north.

"Big guy, die!"

However, just as her dagger was about to pierce Wang Hu's back,

The dozen or so guards who had been standing silently behind Wang Hu moved.

"First Company, form ranks!"

A guard shouted coldly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

More than a dozen powerful auras erupted simultaneously!

The guards, who had seemed ordinary before, suddenly unleashed a powerful aura!

Everyone's an Enhancer!

Moreover, they are all at the peak of the first tier, or even the second tier level!

"What?" The venomous snake's forward momentum came to an abrupt halt, its eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

"Go! Don't embarrass the captain!"

"Leave the woman in the leather jacket alive, the rest... dead!"

The battle erupted in an instant, and in that instant, it turned into a one-sided massacre.

Screams and the sound of bones breaking echoed throughout the room.

Not far from the mine, on a small hillside with a wide view.

A cool night breeze stirred the hem of Tang Long's trench coat.

He stood with his hands in his pockets, quietly looking down at the battlefield, his expression as calm as a bottomless lake.

Su Yan stood to his left, a faint light shimmering in her eyes. Her mental network was already spread out, monitoring every detail on the battlefield to ensure that no one would slip through.

On the right, Luo Yongchao was crouching on the ground, holding a heavy sniper rifle.

"well……"

Luo Yongchao looked through the scope for a while, then put the gun away listlessly, letting out a resentful sigh.

"Boring, really boring."

"Captain Tang, do you think the people in this provincial capital are like watered-down pork? They look intimidating, but they crumble at the slightest touch?"

He originally wanted to test his ability, but the group below couldn't even last three minutes before Wang Hu and his men beat them to a pulp.

Especially Lei Lie, who was being carried by Wang Hu like a chick, was already barely breathing.

"Don't rush! There will be plenty of opportunities in the future!" Tang Long said calmly, withdrawing his gaze.

This battle confirmed his suspicions.

Having undergone the baptism of the potential-enhancing drug, coupled with the tactical skills of veterans and police officers, this special operations team has already begun to possess the combat capabilities to roam freely in this post-apocalyptic world.

Although the enhanced individuals in the provincial capital started earlier, they mostly operated like mercenaries, fighting independently.

And Wang Hu and his group...

It is an army, a disciplined and violent machine.

Once you improve your strength, you can completely crush these people.

"This is the power of unity," Tang Long said softly.

Below, the battle has ended.

The dust has settled.

Wang Hu dragged the half-dead Lei Lie along, carrying the unconscious Poisonous Snake in his other hand, and strode towards the hillside.

Behind them, a dozen special operations team members escorted prisoners with bruised and swollen faces, each holding their heads high and their faces full of excitement.

"Captain Tang! I have accomplished my mission!"

Wang Hu walked over, threw the two men to the ground, and grinned from ear to ear: "These bastards are too weak! I didn't even have to use my strength, and they were already down."

Tang Long glanced at the poisonous snake on the ground.

Although the woman was unconscious, her attire and demeanor were clearly a level above Lei Lie's.

"Zhao Fan."

Tang Long turned to look at Zhao Fan, who had been following behind him and taking notes.

"exist!"

"Notify Chen Ming, new materials have arrived at the lab." Tang Long pointed to the prisoners on the ground, his tone cold: "Especially this woman, she's the leader of this operation, she should know a lot of core secrets."

"Tell Chen Ming not to kill him, as long as he's still conscious."

"I need to know..."

Tang Long raised his head and looked north, towards the provincial capital, a place still shrouded in thick fog.

"These people keep running to Dongyun City. Besides that so-called grain depot, what else are they plotting?"

"I have a feeling that there's a big fish lurking behind this."
