Chapter 19 Shut Up

Gunshots suddenly rang out from behind the restaurant.

After three shots, someone shouted, "Come out! Come out!"

John froze, his hand releasing the taco and clutching his chest, but Arthur knew John's gun was hanging on his left side, ready to be drawn with a hand inside his shirt.

John was about to act, but the drug dealers inside hadn't opened the tunnel yet, so the middleman hadn't been caught. It would be suicidal to draw a gun now.

Outside, the drug dealers heard ...

Chapter 18: Don't Be Nervous

The car drove past the TACO restaurant, and everyone in the car was watching the surroundings closely.

The traffic situation in Tijuana was completely different during the day and night. During the day, there were many cars, but at night, there were very few. So, even though the cars were moving slowly, it didn't seem suspicious.

There were too many suspicious individuals. There was a car parked in front of the restaurant with three or four people who didn't look like good news. T...

Chapter 17: Brave Onward

Getting from the United States to Mexico was convenient; the car simply drove past the border inspection station without anyone checking, without the need to slow down or stop.

However, the issue now was how Arthur would return to the United States from Mexico.

Last time, he managed to cross the border from Mexico because Frank sought help from his former boss and paid some money to facilitate Arthur's passage.

But this time, Frank and the others didn't even mention how Arth...

Chapter 16: Keep Silent

Even Arthur, who was not very clever, could tell that the first call about something happening was a lie, and the second call about trouble was the truth.

Everyone paused for a moment, then John asked in a very puzzled tone, "What happened?"

Frank looked annoyed and looked at George, saying, "Someone illegally entered the client's home, triggering the alarm system. When Gerald and his men went to the scene to check, there was a firefight. The police have rushed over to deal with i...

Chapter 15: Highly Targeted

Life is unpredictable, and sometimes, happiness comes quite unexpectedly.

Although it was said yesterday that they would be shooting rifles, Arthur never dreamed that the team-building activity at King Defense would involve shooting, with a group of men unleashing their firepower at an outdoor shooting range.

So today wasn't about Arthur and John, but about all five of them arriving early at the shooting range.

"Today, we'll have a competition. Let me explain the rules. The ...

Chapter 14: It's All in the Details

Los Angeles, North Hollywood district.

In an unremarkable residential area, there is a commercial property where Arthur works and lives.

Arthur currently lives in a small room in the company's headquarters, which is about ten square meters in size. Inside, there is only a mattress, a chair, no table, and no private bathroom. If he needs to use the restroom, he has to go to the company's restroom. He can take a shower, but he has to use the public shower room. Fortunately, except f...

Chapter 13: Observation

Frank's eyes were red, and he was tired and sleepy. However, after getting used to this kind of life, he could stay up for another twenty-four hours without a problem.

"How's the observation going?"

John, who had just entered, didn't answer Frank. He went straight to the fridge, took out a can of cola, and chugged it down in one go.

After a loud burp, John took out another can of cola, opened it, and stood by the fridge, drinking half of it in one breath.

Rubber impati...

Chapter 12: Target Control

Eight shots, five missed, three bull's-eyes. This result was indeed quite dramatic.

As Arthur placed the empty gun on the table, someone suddenly exclaimed, "Is he controlling the target? He's controlling it! He's controlling it!"

It was unclear who said it, but someone mentioned "target control."

The staff sighed and said to Arthur, "Buddy, if you're not particularly attached to the SW1911, or if you don't want John's matched gun, anyway, you've won. Three bull's-eyes, five...

Chapter 11: Absolutely Baffling

Even a genius would start to shake after firing over two hundred rounds in one go.

While mainstream handgun rounds aren't particularly powerful, certain categories within handgun ammunition pack a punch, like the .44 Magnum or the .357 Magnum.

After firing a few revolvers, Arthur's hands were numb. But after firing the Desert Eagle, he became afraid. When the staff placed a loaded M500 on the table, Arthur fell silent.

As a shooting club, how could they lack the symbolic ul...

Chapter 70: Scatter Flowers, Thunderous Roar, Azure Lightning

It was just a momentary touch, but the recorded sound of the thunderstorm in Mike's memory chip shook him so violently that even the dormant thunder within him showed signs of awakening.

It took him a while to recover. Looking at the information in his hand, he finally understood the reason for this, "The so-called heavenly phenomenon is the materialization of natural phenomena, but in the hands of the evolved, their power is often not perfectly restored. This is because the evolved hav...

Chapter 69: Damned Advancement

The logistics department in the frontline camp was bustling with activity. The mess hall had already set up a large pot in the tent, and the aroma of stewed meat wafted in the chilly wind, with smoke billowing into the night sky.

The priests in the medical department were constantly carrying stretchers back and forth, but they weren't as busy as imagined. They even had time to chat, "Something's not right. Didn't the frontline already begin fighting? Why are there so few injured today? ...

Chapter 68: Long Lin's Praxis

Boom!

Accompanied by the thundering roar of massed artillery fire, the cannon fire streaked across the sky like meteors, crashing into the aberrant tide on the wasteland, exploding into a bloody mess and thick smoke.

Commander Semin swung his massive axe, erupting in towering flames, leading the charging soldiers into the enemy ranks. Helicopters flew overhead, dropping bombs, and heavy armored vehicles rampaged across the ground - the battle was exceptionally fierce, but the adva...

Chapter 67: The Melody on the Battlefield

Lisa quickly walked out of the military tent, holding a walkie-talkie, and said, "Notify the guards at the watchtower to clear the area immediately. All the officers in charge must leave within five minutes."

"Act quickly. If there are any unrelated personnel when we arrive, you will all be punished! Where is my assistant? Go get me an electronic keyboard right away, and find two basic performance memory chips!" Secretary Xia roared.

Ever since learning of the existence of the Req...

Chapter 66: Some Respectable Perseverance

When Mike left the dormitory with the little girl, he was all smiles. "Put on your hat and scarf, make sure your zipper is up. You're the hope of the entire military now!"

Isabelle followed behind him, fumbling with the zipper of her snow boots, a bit clumsy.

She had never worn such nice clothes before and felt a bit out of place.

"Brother, you seem very happy today."

"Of course, I beat the living daylights out of that bastard and crippled his hand. I couldn't kill him...

Chapter 65: Elegy for the Departed

Late at night, Mike was still eating barbecue in the East Street of the underground district.

"Your appetite seems just fine, you made me worry for nothing."

Rose crossed her arms and snorted coldly, "And next time you try to be sarcastic, can you be a bit more aware of the situation? It's only because the communication channel was cut off, otherwise if the people from the Dominion's manor heard it, what would they think? The reputation of our Heresy Tribunal is already bad enough...

Chapter 64: Appreciation from the High Priest

When the overwhelming pressure from the High Priest echoed through the heavens and earth, countless believers were in awe, as if witnessing a miracle. The thunderous cheers almost drowned out the entire city.

At the entrance of the underground relic on East Street, flames flickered at Williams' fingertips. A massive skeletal dragon had already materialized, coiling around him and roaring ferociously.

This was the oppressive power of the Sixth Compassionate Realm.

Facing such...

Chapter 63: The Origin of the Children of the Divine

With a loud crash, the majestic holy statue crumbled, and the countless blood mist suddenly vanished. Even the flesh embedded in the cracks of the rock walls withered and died in an instant, turning into lifeless matter.

This was Matthew's first time experiencing such immense fear, not just from sensing the power of the deceased High Priest, but more so from the ruthlessness and stubbornness of this young man.

He was not afraid of a powerful enemy.

No matter how strong the o...

Chapter 62: Thorns and Thunder

On this day, the central area of Avalon City was illuminated by a striking red glow in the sky, and the piercing alarm echoed endlessly, "High concentration of Dark Matter detected, a life-threatening disaster has formed! Repeat, high concentration of Dark Matter detected, a life-threatening disaster has formed!"

The Mass music played in the classical monastery sounded like ocean waves, and a man was splitting firewood in the courtyard, his chopping motions wide and heavy, each strike l...

Chapter 61: Absolute Dominion

Mike was taken aback when he heard the word "aberrant."

"You know about it?"

Olivia glanced at his right hand with a hint of a smile.

Mike shook his head as he walked through the deep corridor. "Not too clear on the specifics, just occasionally heard the Necro Cult's living scum mention it during interrogations."

Olivia suddenly paused, placing her hand on the hard rock wall and pushing with force.

It turned out to be a hidden room, with dilapidated culture dishe...

Chapter 60: The High Priest Died of Rage

Ever since Olivia inherited the position of the Holy High Priest, she had not had any physical contact with anyone for many years, let alone being patted on the shoulder by a man. It was obvious that she was mistaken for an ordinary nun who was startled, but she had no reason to get angry.

After all, it was she who had disguised herself as a nun.

"By the way, have you seen a Necro Cult member pass by here?" Mike roughly described the appearance, obviously intending to continue the...

Chapter 59: High Priest, Cool

The moment Williams gave the order to attack, the mass of flesh embedded in the rock wall erupted in a gush of pungent blood, and an explosion rumbled from the depths below. The blood-tinged air spread out.

This also interrupted the actions of the Inquisitors, including Mike.

The hand grenade thrown by Amber was kicked into the air and exploded, and he was also blown away by the shockwave, rolling into the midst of the innocent civilians.

When the fragments of the dome began...

Chapter 58 The High Priest Falling from the Sky

The narrow underground passage was covered in dust. Damon, who had the attribute of rock, walked in the front, as his abilities in strength and defense could handle unexpected situations.

Rose suddenly paused, her eyes sharp.

But Mike didn't stop in time and directly bumped into her.

"You scared me to death!"

"You ran into me."

Due to the narrowness of the passage, Mike could only stick close to the woman, her soft body almost touching his, stirring up some impro...

Chapter 57 Sacrificial Ritual and Underground Tunnel

Williams pushed the wheelchair, sliding into the dark room, "The big data analysis results are out, and it's indeed a dead body. Matthew, 27 years old, an indigenous Ember, did not enter the realm of the supernatural. His former identity was a biologist, employed by Norsen Biotech, a subsidiary of the Morgan Group. Seven years ago, he died from a viral infection contracted during an experiment, with no effective treatment. His family members and social relationships have been erased, so it's ...

Chapter 56: Acting Against the Wind

West City Military Base, Barracks No. 7.

After a night of electrical therapy, Mike yawned as he got up from the bed. The Evolved were in a deep meditative state during their sacred ritual, which could essentially replace sleep. The officer's quarters had a very comfortable environment, like a luxuriously renovated apartment from 500 years ago, with even underfloor heating to prevent any disturbance during their night-long cultivation.

The cancer pain still flared up regularly, for...

Chapter 55: The Agreement

After returning to the military base, Mike first went to the supply depot and exchanged for the highest level supply crates, as well as a full ten divination chips of the lightning attribute.

That left him with 2,100 merit points.

That was the deposit he planned to use to exchange for Praxis chips.

Tonight, he would continue preparing for the high-intensity electrotherapy.

The supply depot attendant was extremely polite and respectful towards this new sergeant, as they...

Chapter 54: Rank Promotion

"High Priestess?"

Mike remembered the woman he had seen in the assembly hall, who was said to be the highest-ranking person in all of Avalon City, even outranking the lord who belonged to the sacred family.

"Don't look around, hurry and pay your respects."

Lisa made the sign of the cross on her chest, urging, "Quickly."

The officers and soldiers also reverently made the sign of the holy cross on their chests and recited, "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Yo...

Chapter 53: Mike's Parents

Inside the sacrificial hall, the projection pen was still playing the recording from the snowy field.

This was filmed by the driver-turned-medic, who failed to capture the actual battle scenes as his abilities were not up to par. Instead, he managed to record the capture of the Thorn Demon and the revelations from the departed tribal members about the origins and history of the Necro Cult.

When Guboo mentioned the past events of the Holy Mountain, the expressions of the higher-ups...

Chapter 52 Completing Tasks with Surplus

Initially, Mike was quite happy, because he thought he had helped the little girl find her family, and maybe he could even help her gain some rights to return to her true home.

However, it now appears that her family does not welcome her.

He had heard stories before about stray cats and dogs being able to travel dozens of kilometers back to their original homes after being abandoned. But this is the post-apocalyptic world, where even adults have a hard time surviving on their own....

Chapter 51: Witch

When Lisa slid down the slope, she saw a horrific sight.

It was too late.

The Thorn Demon had been cut into pieces, with fresh blood flowing amidst the frost-covered grass and the broken, hard-edged thorns scattered everywhere, and a young man crouching in the pool of blood.

It was clear that a fierce battle had taken place here, but the final result was undoubtedly good - the aberrant was dead, and her subordinate was still alive, though not in the best of shape.

Mike...

Chapter 50: Our Hatred, Deeply Sown!

The arrow shot by Lisa ignited a fire in the forest, like a sunrise. The intense heat swept over, creating a huge shockwave that destroyed everything around.

"Get down!" Jack and the officers shouted, suddenly overturned by the terrifying shockwave.

The remnants of the Genesis Nest also crawled into the ground at the critical moment, embracing their companions as if it were the last moment before the apocalypse, the last moment of life.

As the caster, Lisa was also engulfed ...
