Rise of the Wasteland in Cultivation

The hyena squad are both scavengers and gene hunters, and their combat strength is beyond doubt. This can be seen from their formation when they surrounded Leng San. The formation was well-organized, with appropriate distances and a very skillful coordination.

At this point, if Leng San made the slightest move to resist, he would be riddled with bullets.

Leng San turned off the motorcycle's engine, raised his hands, and got off the motorcycle, pretending to be frightened as he said, "If you want this motorcycle, then take it."

The hyena chuckled, revealing two rows of menacing fangs. "Kid, you're quite sensible. But thinking you can take my brother's life with just a beat-up motorcycle is a bit of a pipe dream!"

Leng San frowned and said, "I don't understand what you mean."

The bald man chuckled coldly twice: "Kid, don't you remember? More than four months ago, we fought each other. You fucking killed two of my teammates with a grenade."

Leng San suddenly realized, "So you're the bald guy who ran away back then. This is the first time I've ever met such a cowardly scavenger."

The bald man was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage and cursed, "You son of a bitch, you're about to die and you still dare to laugh at me? Believe me or not, I'll rip your skull off with one shot!"

After speaking, the bald man raised his gun and aimed it at Leng San's head.

The hyena glanced at Leng San in surprise. This kid had just looked terrified, but now he dared to mock the bald man. Was he out of his mind? Or was he just feeling emboldened?

Hyena wasn't stupid to have survived this long. Just in case, he drew his laser pistol and said calmly, "Leng San, is it? Now you have two choices: First, I'll blow your head off and avenge my brother; second, submit and become Hyena's underling."

The other members of the hyena squad exchanged bewildered glances. They knew their leader was greedy and ruthless, always seeking revenge. This kid had killed his own brother, yet he wanted to recruit him as a follower. It was rather unusual. Could this kid be hiding some secret that could bring huge profits?

Leng San was also quite surprised that the other party wanted to take him as a subordinate, and he couldn't help but recall what happened last night. At that time, Leng San was in the courtyard and had a vague feeling of being watched, so he opened the door and went out to check, only to see the hyena putting away something that looked like an eyeball.

Leng San felt uneasy at that moment, and now that the hyena had proposed to take him as a subordinate, he immediately thought of a possibility—the crops had been exposed.

Thinking of this, a barely perceptible murderous intent flashed in Leng San's eyes. Just in case, regardless of whether the hyenas knew about the crops, they had to wipe them out. Otherwise, if the hyenas spread the news, it would undoubtedly bring annihilation to him and Chenxi.

"Are there no other options besides these two?" Leng San said calmly.

The bald man roared in fury, "Choose your mother's son! Stop pretending! I'll cripple your leg first..."

--boom!

Just as Baldy was about to pull the trigger, Leng San's Desert Eagle fired first, and Baldy's big bald head exploded like a watermelon on the spot.

—Bang bang bang!

Three shots rang out in quick succession, each a headshot. In the blink of an eye, the other three members of the Hyena Squad were all killed.

Wow, the speed of a level 2 gene-enhanced warrior is simply overwhelming for an ordinary scavenger.

Just as Leng San fired his first shot, Hyena also fired a shot at him, but was slightly slower. After killing the four bald men, Leng San still had time to quickly roll away.

With a sizzle!

The laser gun's focused beam struck the ground, creating a large crater.

Sizzle—sizzle—sizzle!

The hyena fired three shots, all of which hit the ground. Leng San nimbly dodged them and even raised his hand to return fire—bang!

The hyena was terrified and rolled on the spot. Although it avoided the Desert Eagle's bullet, its shoulder was still grazed and burned with pain!

"Oh no, this kid's strength has reached the level of a level two gene-enhanced warrior, no, even stronger." The hyena was filled with fear and took big strides to make its escape.

Leng San's overall strength is indeed much greater than that of a level 2 gene-enhanced warrior, because he is still a cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining. Whether it is strength or agility, he is stronger than a level 2 gene-enhanced warrior.

—bang bang bang

Leng San fired three more shots, but the hyena dodged them all by using abandoned vehicles on the road. By this time, the Desert Eagle had run out of bullets.

The hyena was secretly pleased when he heard the firing pin strike empty. Just when he thought he had escaped a disaster, the wind rushed from behind him. Leng San caught up with him in a flash and pulled a miniature submachine gun from under his trench coat.

—Put-put-put

A burst of flames shot out from the nozzle, and the hyena, which was running at full speed, felt a numbness in both thighs and fell to the ground with a thud. Blood instantly soaked both of its trouser legs.

The hyena flipped over and tried to launch a sneak attack with its laser gun, but it was hit by two more bullets from Weichong on its shoulder and wrist, and the laser gun fell out of its hand.

—Bang!

Leng San charged forward and stomped hard on the hyena's chest. With a crack, the hyena's sternum broke on the spot, and it spat out a mouthful of blood, losing its ability to move.

Leng San bent down and picked up the laser pistol from the ground. This was a good thing; it had a nuclear battery and still had 56% of its energy remaining.

"Tell me, why did you take me in as your underling? Do you know something?" Leng San looked down at the hyena's single eye with icy eyes.

The hyena was filled with regret. Had he known Leng San possessed level two gene enhancement, he would never have been so reckless. But now, whether he stuck his neck out or not, he was doomed, so he naturally preferred to stick his neck out. Therefore, he chuckled coldly and said, "What do you think?"

Leng Sanjian raised an eyebrow, raised his laser gun, and aimed it at the hyena's head. The hyena's expression changed drastically, and it hurriedly said, "Don't kill me! If you kill me, your secret will be known to others immediately."

"Are you threatening me?"

"It's not a threat, it's a deal!" The hyena actually showed a fawning smile, though it still looked somewhat ferocious.

Leng San scoffed, "What right do you have to do business with me?"

The hyena chuckled obsequiously, "Brother Leng San, you probably don't know my identity, do you? I'm not only a scavenger, but also a gene hunter from the [Wanhua Gene Group]. If you kill me, you'll offend the [Wanhua Gene Group]."

Leng San frowned. So the other party was a gene hunter. No wonder he chased them all the way to Camp C-361. It turned out he was after Ye Wenrou's self-healing gene.

Seeing Leng San remain silent, the hyena assumed he was afraid and continued, "Brother Leng San, if you release me, I will not only not expose your secret, but I will also help you make a lot of money from it."

"Ridiculous, what secrets do I have?" Leng San retorted.

"Hehe, Brother Leng San, you don't need to pretend anymore. I saw all the potatoes, carrots, and tomatoes you grew. If word gets out, do you think the five major powers will come after you?" the hyena sneered.

—Sizzle!

The laser gun fired a beam that struck the hyena squarely in the heart, instantly piercing its body.

"You..." The hyena's one eye widened, its face filled with disbelief.

Leng San said calmly, "Even gene hunters have no right to threaten me!"

"You...you'll regret this!" The hyena's head lolled to the side, and it died, a sinister smile appearing on its lips. Then, a fake eyeball rolled out of its left palm, flashing a strange red light.

Leng San instinctively retreated, but after a few seconds, nothing happened—no explosion or anything. Just as he was about to go forward to check, the fake eyeball beeped, and a emotionless notification sounded: "Upload!"

Leng San's expression changed drastically, and he stomped on the fake eyeball, crushing it.
