Rise of the Wasteland in Cultivation

Leng San first used the Green Vine Talisman to bind Luo Laoliu's legs, and then, taking advantage of the opponent's unpreparedness, delivered a powerful punch that sent him flying. At the same time, Leng San threw a Swiftness Talisman at his feet, instantly making him move with the wind, like a swallow in flight, increasing his speed by 10% for 10 seconds.

So, almost at the same moment Luo Laoliu crashed into the highway guardrail, Leng San had already arrived like a persistent ailment, kicking him in the chest with a flying kick.

--boom!

Luo Laoliu was struck as if by a heavy artillery shell. He was sent flying like a sandbag, crashing violently into the tunnel above, causing stone chips to fly everywhere and a small section of the tunnel to collapse.

Luo Laoliu had just fallen to the ground when Leng San attacked again. How could he waste the 10 seconds of acceleration?

So before Luo Laoliu could even catch his breath, one of his legs was grabbed by Leng San. He felt dizzy and was swung 180 degrees before being slammed hard to the ground.

—Bang!

—Bang!

—Bang!

Leng San grabbed Luo Laoliu's calf and slammed him to the ground three times, each time face-first. He smashed a deep, human-shaped crater into the asphalt and cement ground before forcefully throwing Luo Laoliu flying, sending him crashing into the mountainside on the side of the tunnel.

Ye Wenrou and the others were dumbfounded. Was this the power of a level three gene enhancement? How could they be so easily bullied by the mistress, completely powerless to fight back?

Luo Laoliu tumbled down the mountainside, spitting out mouthfuls of blood. His face was so gruesome that it was unrecognizable, and he had almost lost all his teeth.

At this moment, Leng San's breathing was also very heavy. Although he had just beaten Luo Laoliu without any chance to fight back, he was actually not relaxed at all. The spiritual power in his dantian was almost completely exhausted.

After spitting out blood, Luo Laoliu lay on the ground like a dead dog, looking extremely pathetic, filled with shock and anger. He had thought that after undergoing level three gene enhancement, he could walk around with impunity, but unexpectedly, his very first job had hit a snag. Before he even had a chance to unleash his power, this inconspicuous young man in front of him had thoroughly humiliated him.

At this moment, Bi Lang and the others also recovered from their shock. The fat man rubbed his eyes and said in disbelief, "A level three gene-enhanced warrior is only this strong?"

Zhou Chen shrugged and joked, "At least it's pretty tough, isn't it?"

"That's true, this pig's head isn't even hung up yet, it's still breathing!" the fat man nodded in agreement.

As Luo Laoliu listened to the two teasing each other, he was so angry that he vomited a mouthful of foul blood again. Suddenly, he laughed in extreme anger, his aura surged, and he slowly stood up.

"Watch out, mistress!" Ye Wenrou hurriedly warned, while throwing her overclocking oscillator blade over.

Leng San was also shocked. He hurriedly caught the overclocking oscillation blade and became vigilant and on guard. He obviously did not expect that his opponent could stand up after suffering such a serious injury, and that his momentum was even increasing. This third-level gene enhancement drug was too abnormal.

"Ha-ha-ha, so the effects of the third-tier potion haven't been fully absorbed yet. Kid, you're dead!" Luo Laoliu laughed triumphantly, and as his aura rose, his body swelled at a visible speed.

Soon, Luo Laoliu's height increased from 1.7 meters to 2 meters, and it was still climbing. However, at this moment, the smile on Luo Laoliu's face disappeared, replaced by pain, and then panic.

"No, no, no, stop! Stop!" Luo Laoliu screamed in terror, his face contorted in pain, his body like a balloon being constantly inflated, his flesh and bones gradually tearing apart, turning him into a blood-soaked figure in an instant.

Leng San sensed something was wrong and hurriedly flew backward. Just then, with a loud bang, Luo Laoliu exploded into a cloud of blood mist. The scene was indescribably horrifying.

"Holy crap! It exploded!" Zhou Chen and the fat man were dumbfounded.

Looking at the scattered flesh and blood on the ground, Bi Lang was drenched in cold sweat. He said in a deep voice, "It seems that this third-tier gene enhancement potion is unstable and has not matured at all. Fortunately, we didn't draw a number, otherwise we would have ended up like Luo Laoliu."

Zhou Chen and the fat man were also shocked. This was utterly despicable! Wanhua Group was actually selling products that weren't even ready to be developed. Weren't they just using people as free guinea pigs? And to make matters worse, they charged people 30 contribution points for a single dose. Their hearts were too black!

At that moment, in the back office of the [Wanhua Group] at Shelter A08, a staff member exclaimed in alarm, "We just detected that test subject number 05, Luo Laoliu, has exploded."

"No way, the test subject #05 was injected with the drug just yesterday, and he exploded today? That's way too fast," another staff member said, leaning over.

"See for yourself. I just received a signal from the nanobots. Test subject number 05 really exploded."

At this moment, a man who looked like a manager walked over, looked at the computer screen, and immediately ordered, "The explosion site is not far from here. Set off immediately to retrieve the wreckage. This is of great research value."

Soon, an SUV drove out of the office and the A08 shelter, speeding along the Yangshen Expressway toward Shenzhen.

…………

By this time, Leng San and the others had finished cleaning up the battlefield and were preparing to leave. However, to their dismay, the off-road vehicle had been blown up by a Gatling gun and burned to a pile of scrap metal. Without a means of transportation, they had no choice but to walk.

Keep in mind that this place is at least 250 kilometers away from Camp C-361, and even a level 2 genetically enhanced warrior would have to walk for a whole day and night.

Leng San had a sudden inspiration and said, "Luo Laoliu's fighting robot isn't fast either. Since it came to this tunnel to ambush us ahead of time, there must be some vehicles hidden nearby. Let's split up and search."

Bi Lang nodded and said, "The mistress's analysis is correct. Everyone, split up and search!"

The group immediately split up to search, and soon found a five-seater pickup truck at the other end of the tunnel.

The fat man exclaimed with delight, "This pickup truck is newer and cleaner than our old off-road vehicle, and it's more powerful too! Hehe, we've struck gold!"

So, everyone loaded the wreckage of the robot Tarzan into the back of the pickup truck. Although the thing was missing its arms, legs, and even its head, it was still worth a lot of money if they took it back and sold it, especially the chips and batteries inside, which would be more than enough to buy an off-road vehicle.

Well, he also accepted the Gatling gun. There were two boxes of unused Gatling bullets in the pickup truck. It seems that Luo Laoliu was quite well-prepared. It's a pity that he still died before his mission was accomplished.

Because of the excessive exertion from the battle, Leng San handed the Jialing Motorbike over to Zhou Chen to ride, while he sat in the back seat of the pickup truck to cultivate and quickly recover his spiritual energy. This state of having an empty spiritual sea is dangerous, and he would be unable to cope with any unexpected situations.

The pickup truck has five seats. Chenxi sat in the middle of the back row, while Ye Wenrou sat on her other side. As for Bi Lang, he could only sit in the passenger seat. The young girl refused to sit next to anyone except Leng San and Ye Wenrou.

"Boss, that bastard Zhang Ligang hired someone to kill you. Are we just going to let it go like this? Why don't we turn around and take him out?" the fat man suggested as he drove.

Bi Lang's face was cold and stern. He definitely had to get revenge, but not now. After all, the other party was a member of the Alliance Guard, so he couldn't do it openly. He had to do it in a dirty way. He said calmly, "It definitely can't be counted. I'm not one to suffer in silence. I'll definitely take him down, but not now. I'll wait for the right time."

"Okay, whatever the boss says, I'll do!" The fat man nodded, glancing at Leng San, who was resting with his eyes closed, in the rearview mirror. His eyes were filled with nothing but awe.

Bi Lang was in a similar situation. He originally thought that Leng San's strength was at most at the level of a third-tier enhanced cultivator, but he did not expect that Leng San would completely defeat Luo Laoliu after his third-tier enhanced cultivator. Tsk tsk, this strength is simply unfathomable.

Hmm, the mistress is probably a superhuman!

When Leng San was fighting Luo Laoliu, he threw out a Green Vine Talisman, which bound the latter's legs. In Bi Lang's eyes, this was naturally a kind of superpower. No wonder Xiao San didn't need gene enhancement.

At this moment, Ye Wenrou was examining the jade bracelet she was wearing. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she had been saved by the jade bracelet. This thing suddenly burst out with a ball of light and blocked the Gatling gun bullet. It was truly magical.

Ye Wenrou secretly glanced at Leng San, who was cultivating with his eyes closed. If this bracelet really had defensive functions, it would definitely be very valuable, probably more than 15 contribution points, yet Xiao San had asked her for 15 to buy a "firewood stick".

Thinking of this, Ye Wenrou felt a warm glow in her heart, as if a seed had taken root and sprouted deep within her. Her gaze towards the boy involuntarily softened.

As if sensing something, Chenxi turned to look at Ye Wenrou, whose pretty face flushed red. She quickly looked away and smiled to cover it up, saying, "Xiaoxi, lean on Sister Wenrou and sleep for a while. It's still several hours' drive to get home."

Chenxi nodded, nestled into Ye Wenrou's arms, and closed her eyes to rest. She had been drawing talismans for a long time last night and was indeed a little tired. Before long, she entered her spiritual world in the small space.

About an hour after Leng San and his group left, investigators from Wanhua Group arrived at the scene, took photos, collected human remains, and then quickly left – a remarkably efficient and fast operation.

After driving for more than five hours, around 3 PM, Fatty finally returned to Camp C-361. Leng San had cultivated for five hours, and his spiritual energy had almost recovered. He pushed open the car door and got out.

"Master Bi and Master San are back, and they've got new cars again! Hey, that's a fighting robot!" The camp guards and passing scavengers all came up to watch.

This scene was naturally left to Zhou Chen's free rein, the show-off. Leng San, holding Chenxi's little hand, started walking away, but suddenly noticed the black minivan parked under the watchtower and asked, "Which team got this car?"

The guard chuckled, "Three outsiders, just staying temporarily. They'll probably leave in the next couple of days."

Leng San nodded and hurriedly led Chen Xi back to his courtyard house.

After being away for a few days, he was a little worried about the crops at home. Fortunately, he had secretly marked the locks on the courtyard house, indicating that no one had tampered with them.

Relieved, Leng San took out his key, opened the door, and went inside.
