Fighting you is like being in jail.

How did they manage that?! They were just that far away a moment ago!

I didn't feel anything at all!

In his terror, he felt difficulty breathing and lay motionless on the ground.

"Tell your commander I'm going to eat. We'll continue tomorrow. Here's my phone number. Call me whenever you want."

Leng Chang calmly took out a piece of paper and handed it to the sniper, then disappeared without waiting for a reply.

"..."

After an endless silence, the sniper collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

"I...I thought I was going to die..."

He was covered in cold sweat, even his vest was soaked with sweat. He shakily picked up the note that Leng Chang had handed him and stared blankly at the number on it.

Just how much does this guy look down on us?

They even left a phone number...

However, given his abilities, perhaps there's no question of looking down on him.

Chapter 283 One second... It only took one second!

Leaving the center of the square, Leng Chang made no attempt to hide and swaggered towards the restaurant a few hundred meters away.

The moment Leng Chang walked into the restaurant, the waiters and the owner were all taken aback, and you could even see shock and fear in their eyes.

But Leng Chang ignored him and walked straight to a table and sat down.

He picked up the menu casually and said to himself, "Fried rice, braised beef, and then stewed ribs and sweet and sour pork."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

The waiter snapped out of his daze and immediately responded loudly, then rushed to the kitchen to make arrangements.

Before long, the food he ordered was quickly served. The delicious and visually appealing dishes made Leng Chang nod in satisfaction.

The waiter looked at Leng Chang nervously, as if he knew something.

Even the bar owner was staring intently at Leng Chang at this moment, eagerly anticipating his taste.

Leng Chang picked up a piece of braised beef with his chopsticks, sniffed it, and nodded with his brows relaxed.

But the next second, he put down the beef.

The waiter and the boss were immediately on edge, fearing that the next thing they would say was, "I don't eat beef."

However, the situation was not as expected.

Leng Chang put down the beef and said calmly, "Preservatives, artificial colors, antibacterial agents, all sorts of chemicals—what good can they do to your health?"

"..."

The waiter stared wide-eyed in horror, as if he had been caught red-handed.

Given what happened, all the surrounding restaurants would have been closed long ago; there simply wouldn't have been any shops open.

The shopkeepers who were open were all plainclothes officers, who recognized Leng Chang the moment he walked in. As arranged, the food had been laced with a highly poisonous substance; even a strange beast would be poisoned if it ate it.

Leng Chang's current reaction clearly indicates that he has discovered something.

Does this mean they're about to take action?!

The waiter's eyes widened, cold sweat trickling down his forehead. He wanted to wipe it away but was afraid of being discovered, so he could only tremble and stare at Leng Chang, not daring to make a move.

After a brief silence, Leng Chang's voice rang out again.

"However, it is hard to say that a person is the most well-rounded if he only eats healthy food."

As he spoke, he picked up his chopsticks, filled his bowl with fried rice, and looked casually yet confidently at the nervous waiter, saying with absolute certainty:

"Whether it's poison or nutrition, we have to eat it. Only then can we be considered healthy. We must learn to enjoy the deliciousness of both and make it our own. That's the important thing about food."

As soon as he finished speaking, Leng Chang ignored the fear of the waiter and the boss and began to eat heartily.

It was as if they were eating the most delicious food, not poison.

Glug!

When the waiter saw Leng Chang eating so deliciously, he was momentarily horrified and even wanted to taste what it was that made it so delicious.

However, they dared not make any unusual moves until Leng Chang finished eating.

Leng Chang slowly stood up from the chair, wiped the oil off his face with his thumb, and turned to look at the boss.

A pair of deep, dark eyes fell on the boss, making him tremble and his breathing become intermittent.

drop!

After paying for the meal, Leng Chang left without looking back, his hands in his pockets.

It was as if nothing had happened.

The next second, the waiter sat down on the ground in terror, trembling as he contacted the team leader.

"Mission failed... He's not even human! The poison had absolutely no effect on him!"

"What?! That's a drug that can even kill alien beasts, how could it...? Now we're completely helpless, is this guy even human?"

A shocked voice came through the phone: they had tried every method to deal with Leng Chang.

Bullets are useless, missiles are useless, even poison is useless. How can you defeat someone who is so invincible?

How can we defeat such a monster!

……

The news of Leng Chang's situation quickly reached the trusted commander-in-chief of the Western District. The moment he saw the information, the expression on the face of the newly appointed commander-in-chief of the Western District, Shi Qiang, became solemn.

"Suddenly appearing in the center of the square, he single-handedly defeated 1,500 people while simultaneously withstanding missiles head-on, and afterwards ate poison like it was food..."

"How can we fight someone like this?! He's completely from a different dimension than us. Is he trying to create an opening in our current power?!"

"We absolutely cannot have any more contact with him. As long as he doesn't do anything to harm others, we can leave him alone for the time being."

Shi Qiang's face was full of solemnity, and even a 5-gram A4 sheet of paper felt as heavy as steel.

Firearms are ineffective, missiles are ineffective, even poison is ineffective—is this still human?!

Just then, Shi Qiang's phone rang. He put down the documents in his hand and answered the call.

"Shi Qiang, the higher-ups are already aware of the situation. The Hound Squad is already on its way."

"It's the Hound Squad!?"

"That's right, remember to cooperate well."

"Yes, I understand."

Shi Qiang hung up the phone, his face looking terrible.

It could even be described as extreme loathing; he gritted his teeth, staring intently at the cold, ordinary documents in his hand, filled with resentment.

The Hounds, a notorious team.

Each person's blood energy growth rate is different, which leads to the strength of their blood energy; simply put, it's talent.

With such a large base, exceptionally talented villains will emerge. These villains, possessing extraordinary talent, can easily surpass those of the same level, and some are even more extreme villains.

Murder, arson, and even crimes against humanity have occurred.

Some even attack their own kind during attacks by strange beasts, creating panic.

Fortunately, there were stronger figures in the military to suppress them, which allowed them to be captured. These guys originally deserved the death penalty, but the final result was that they were incorporated into the military.

They were even fed and cared for, which led to these people becoming increasingly arrogant and domineering.

Shi Qiang couldn't understand what the higher-ups were thinking. Such people were clearly more harmful than beneficial, yet they were transformed into heroes who protected the city.

The lives lost in the capture seemed like a joke at that moment.

Even if the news was blocked, those at the command level would still know the truth to some extent, and might even feel disgusted by it.

But a soldier's duty is to obey orders, and no matter how unwilling they are, they must suppress their anger.

The hound squad is one such unit.

The members of this group are notorious, each with a major criminal record.

Skeleton, a born sadist and "artist." Obsessed with using his bone blade to "sculpt" enemies or innocents into twisted "works of art," he revels in the fear and pain of his victims before they die.

During one of the monster attacks, instead of resisting, he sealed the refuge's exit with a bone prison and then watched from the outside as the monsters rushed in and slaughtered them, calling it a "dynamic painting of life."

Lü Sang, a cold-blooded nihilist, views life as meaningless noise. He revels in creating mass panic and silent death.

At the heart of a large shelter, it continuously emitted low-frequency waves, causing thousands of people to suffer internal organ damage and vomit blood without warning, descending into frenzied infighting and creating chaos comparable to an attack by a high-level alien beast.

The Poisonous Woman, a mad scientist, treats living people as perfect experimental subjects. She enjoys testing the effects of new toxins and documenting every detail of her victims' near-death experiences.

He once poisoned the city's water sources simply to observe the different reactions of people with different constitutions when poisoned, calling it a "great data collection."

Qi Yan is an "emotional vampire" who feeds on the suffering of others. His greatest pleasure is creating despair and then immersing himself in it.

When the monsters besieged a town, he used his ability to amplify everyone's fear, causing the defenders to collapse before the battle even began, and the civilians to break down and commit suicide in extreme panic. He then strolled among them and "had a hearty meal."

Tu Nu, a pure violence maniac and battle maniac. In pursuit of the ultimate combat and peak power, he does not hesitate to harm himself to stimulate his abilities.

The infamous incident involved him provokeing a powerful special operations squad by massacring their families in order to "fight to the death."

Each of them carries the sins of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. As the commander-in-chief protecting the city, Shi Qiang wishes he could crush these people into dust.

Unfortunately, he couldn't do it; he could only silently pray that they would die somewhere.

However, it is highly unlikely, since the Hound Squad members each have over 500,000 HP, which is far beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

You should know that having 200 points of Blood Force upon graduating from university already makes you a prodigy. Compared to that, having hundreds of thousands of points of Blood Force... is already an existence that breaks through the social structure.

Perhaps that's why they recruited these guys.

That's what Shi Qiang thought, and that's how he convinced himself of it.

But what the truth is, probably not many people know.

……

Meanwhile, in the basement, Long Heng contacted intelligence from his organization using special equipment.

Upon learning of Leng Chang's actions, he was immediately filled with shock and deep worry.

"Leng Chang's idea is good, but to do that... you need invincible strength. Is that really okay?"

"I believe Leng Chang will be fine..."

Ye Lisha was also worried, but she found that she was completely helpless at the moment.

“Now that he’s taken this step, we won’t just stand by and do nothing. I’ll have the organization pass on intelligence to him…”

Long Heng took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with seriousness, and immediately contacted the organization to do his best to help Leng Chang.

……

Leng Chang, who was strolling outside, had no intention of going back. Instead, he sat on a bench in the crowded street and rested lazily.

Armored vehicles were parked on the road not far away, seemingly on patrol but actually monitoring Leng Chang. They would rush up to stop him at all costs if he made any unusual moves.

Even if you can't do it, you should still try.

Leng Chang didn't care about this situation; he glanced at it casually and then ignored it.

Just then, a little girl accidentally lost her balance in front of Leng Chang.

Just as the little girl was about to fall, Leng Chang stretched out his leg and blocked her from falling. The seemingly casual movement prevented her from collapsing. Immediately afterward, the girl's mother rushed over and said sternly, "How could you run around like that?"

He then slapped the girl's bottom twice, and the girl immediately burst into tears of grievance.

The girl's mother looked at Leng Chang with gratitude and said, "Thank you."

"It's alright, but you still need to keep a close eye on the child."

Leng Chang said calmly, without showing any concern on his face.

The girl's mother nodded and left with her daughter in her arms. Just then, the crying girl threw the crumpled paper in her hand to Leng Chang.

What appeared to be a vengeful act stemmed from Leng Chang's sharp eyes as he carefully examined the girl's apologetic mother, as if he understood something.
