Gao Wu: I have a dimensional gate

Lu Qiu bumped into the two of them and, lowering his voice, spoke first: "How was the harvest?"

The two men were startled at first, then instinctively stood at attention and bowed their heads, cold sweat beading on their foreheads: "Sir!"

They didn't recognize Lu Qiu, let alone the equipment he was wearing.

But you can tell that this equipment is much more advanced than the cut-resistant vest that's covered in sweat and blood.

There are also tactical goggles with a completely different design, which should be the latest model developed by the higher-ups. Unless these surrendered people make great contributions, they will not be able to get tactical goggles.

Lu Qiu remained silent, his green tactical goggles pointing at them.

Their hands began to tremble. Had the adults overheard their conversation? Would they be thrown into the beast breeding room, or used as test subjects for the fire-stealers in white coats?

The silent green lenses and the adult's slightly pursed lips seemed to have already sealed their fate.

One of them even started to chatter, while the other, as if waking from a dream, raised his chin and forced himself to report:

"Seventeen Lesser Resonators killed, eight First-Level Resonators killed, four Lesser Resonators captured, and two First-Level Resonators captured!"

Lu Qiu clicked his tongue and tilted his head slightly: "So many people died?"

The two men knelt down with a thud: "Sir, the refugees' resistance is extremely fierce. We only have eighteen Level 1 Resonators, and six of them have already died..."

Lu Qiu raised his long sword and gently stroked the blade with his left hand: "I only care about the result."

"Sir, have mercy!"

The two men kowtowed repeatedly, as if they felt their heads might be ripped off at any moment.

"We'll search right now, we'll search right now!"

At that moment, a crackling sound came from one of the men's waistbands, and a male voice came from the walkie-talkie: "Li Chuan, Wang Jie, report on the search situation..."

Before the sound had even finished, Lu Qiu's right arm swung with lightning speed, his long sword drawing an arc in the air, and both heads were cleaved off.

thump.

Two headless corpses fell to the ground, blood gushing out and quickly mingling with the filth on the ground.

The other party was clearly the leader, and after realizing he could no longer pretend to be the "leader," Lu Qiu decisively took action and killed the two men.

Upon hearing the situation on the other end of the walkie-talkie, there was no further sound, only a buzzing electrical sound.

A few seconds later, the male voice rang out again.

"Which clan are you from? This area is under the jurisdiction of our Blood Wolf clan. This is illegal robbery, and we're reporting it to the company!"

Lu Qiu hung up the call, but then noticed a circular screen on the walkie-talkie.

The green halo rippled outwards, and ten green dots were rapidly moving towards the center.

The center is one's own position.

Before he could process the information he had just received, Lu Qiu rushed toward the nearest green dot.

The opponent is a Level 1 Resonator like Li Zhao, and there are only ten of them left. Such an opponent poses no threat to me at all.

As he turned a corner, a figure rapidly magnified in Lu Qiu's field of vision.

He was momentarily surprised when he saw Lu Qiu's attire, but the next moment a large spray of blood and a head splattered out, and he didn't even have time to report the information.

One at the corner of the alley, one on the roof across the street, and one on the top of the ruined wall...

Using walkie-talkies for location tracking, Lu Qiu weaved through the maze of alleyways, reaping one life after another.

When only three moving points of light remained, they stopped and began to flee in the opposite direction.

After losing seven men in succession, the leader finally realized that they were the real prey.

Lu Qiu's eyes narrowed.

This group was clearly conducting an organized cleanup of the refugees; letting even one escape would invite endless pursuit.

He used the White Crane Step, his speed soaring to its limit, and chased after the direction his opponent had fled.

Just as they were about to escape the refugee area, the light stopped.

Alarm bells rang in Lu Qiu's mind, and he immediately came to a sudden stop, but inertia still caused him to slide forward for a distance.

boom!

A huge ball of fire engulfed him, bringing with it a massive explosion and thick smoke.

"idiot."

Across the thick smoke, a man who looked like a leader was panting heavily. "After we finish this job and get the source energy enhancer, I'll be a level two Resonator."

"How does the blazing fire of a D-rank weapon taste?"

"Boss, he... he's not dead..." A henchman pointed a trembling finger at the figure slowly emerging from the flames, utterly terrified.

"It does hurt a bit."

Lu Qiu ripped off the burnt tactical goggles, poured a bottle of internal injury medicine into his mouth, and activated the Flesh Furnace!

His exposed skin, burned by the flames, began to heal at an alarming rate.

"It's my turn."

Lu Qiu exerted force with both legs, transforming into a blur as he pounced towards the three.

"Step back, you give me... Ah!" The leader raised his hand and clenched his fist, seemingly about to activate his ability again, but a cold light flashed and a severed arm flew out.

The two henchmen were terrified.

The flames on Lu Qiu's body had not yet completely died down, and the scabs on his hideous face were rapidly peeling off, making him look like a demon crawling out of hell.

"Don't kill..."

Before they could finish begging for mercy, Lu Qiuqian swiftly pierced their hearts with two clean, decisive slashes.

"Wait...wait..." The leader clutched his severed arm, kicking wildly at the ground in an attempt to back away. "Don't kill me..."

Lu Qiu slowly spoke, "Who are you?"

"I'm Lu Qiang, from the refugee district. I know Li Chun, please let me go... Ah!"

He tried to clench his fist with his intact left arm, but Lu Qiu, who was prepared, saw through his plan and ended his life with a single blow.

After searching him, Lu Qiu found a metal wolf head painted red and a bottle of fiery red potion.

[Inferior Energy Enhancer - Elemental Type: Slightly enhances fire-type talent abilities upon consumption.]

He put away the medicine and looked at the truck next to him.

The vehicle was a product of the previous era, but it had been fitted with many parts that Lu Qiu didn't recognize. A blood-red wolf head was painted on the side, and seven or eight locks were added to the cargo door in an exaggerated manner.

Without hesitation, Lu Qiu slashed with his sword, sparks flying, and the cargo compartment door opened wide.

There were six people inside, some sitting, some lying down, all with bruises and swelling, barely alive. He glanced at them and heard a gasp.

"Mountain?"

Lu Qiu looked in the direction of the sound and saw Zou Ming, who had only one arm.

He struggled to his feet: "I'm alright, hurry and save my older sister, she..."

"She's alright." Lu Qiu helped Zou Ming up. "The Blood Wolf Clan is all dead."

Zou Ming looked at the long sword stained with blood, thick blood dripping continuously from the tip of the blade, and he swallowed hard.

"Shan, I've finished making the second source energy resonance agent."

Zou Ming was more concerned about Li Chun's situation than his own.

The mountain is their trading partner; its whereabouts are unpredictable, and it's impossible to be completely certain which side it belongs to. Only Li Chun will protect them.

Lu Qiu said succinctly, "Lead the way."

He only remembered one route: this was another exit from the refugee area, and it would take him quite a bit of effort to find Li Chun's place.

Zou Ming helped the others up and followed Lu Qiu off the train.

As he passed the corpse of the Blood Wolf Clan leader, his already pale face paled even more, his expression shifting from astonishment to relief, and he spat viciously at the lifeless face.

"Traitor, you've finally met your match!"
