The strongest talent

AD 2215, late autumn in September.

The former Jian City in Ludong Province, China, is now the Jian Survival Base, 230 miles northwest.

In a dense forest that stretches for forty to fifty kilometers, a young man is squatting on a tree trunk. He is wearing a black leather combat uniform, mutant animal skin combat boots, and an alloy sword on his back. The blade is stained with blood. , the blade of the knife was damaged in some places, he bent down and carefully treated the injury on the outside of his left leg.

The wound was not very deep, with a piece of golden shrapnel embedded in it. The exposed part of the muscle was stained with a little blood and glowed with a cold light.

The young man took out a dagger and dug out the shrapnel.

The shrapnel fell to the ground with a string of blood beads, staining several dead leaves red.

"You are using your power to bully others, you are using your power to bully others!" The young man simply bandaged the wound, lay down on the tree trunk, and slowly narrowed his eyes, his eyes a little colder.

Since the spring of 2185, a spacecraft from an unknown alien race crashed on Earth. A mysterious radiation leaked from the spacecraft and swept the world in just three months.

Animals, humans, plants, etc. that are exposed to these radiations will undergo irreversible genetic mutations, and even the topography will undergo great changes, especially animals, which will become extremely ferocious. Wild beasts, poultry, pets, etc. will all be huge. Transformation, ferocity, the overall body is greatly strengthened, and some body shapes even undergo major changes.

Some poultry are covered in flames and are hundreds of meters long, like the legendary phoenix; some wild dogs have three heads, each with three eyes, and are called the "Nine-Eyed Wolf King" by humans. ; There is also a cow that mutated into a humanoid form. It can speak human words and blast out powerful air wave attacks. It is named "Sacred Cow Mu King" by humans!

From the beginning of the mutation to the end of the disaster, it lasted for thirty years. This painful experience was recorded in the annals of history. People called it the "Era of Great Chaos" and history called it the "Great Catastrophe"!

In the early days of the Great Chaos Era, the human world suffered heavy casualties. Starting from about the winter of the third year, humans, who had not changed much after being exposed to radiation, finally opened a new chapter of evolution and mastered powerful power.

Some people's bodies have become extremely powerful, no less powerful than mutant beasts, and they can fight lions and kill tigers with their bare hands.

Some people have gained the power of being in harmony with the elements of nature, and can trigger the power of nature with a wave of their hands, bring down thunder, and stir up storms.

There are also people who can be in harmony with all things and communicate with weapons, just like the sword fairy in ancient legends, who can kill with every ten steps and leave no trace for thousands of miles.

Many geniuses emerged one after another to fight against ferocious mutant beasts, regain the lost land of mankind, and re-establish national order.

Evolvers who possess these powers are called "fighters, elemental masters and spiritual warriors" respectively.

With the help of these powerful abilities and modern scientific and technological weapons, many survival bases have been established on the seven original continents of the earth and many new continents that have appeared after the landform has changed, to provide protection for ordinary people, and to select outstanding talents from among the people to further Strengthen yourself.

There are countless martial arts academies established by various strong men, and the strong ones can even compete with the country.

For example, King Heijiang, the founder of the Heijiang War Hall, was a powerful spiritual warrior. During the era of great chaos, he single-handedly killed an eight-headed snake that had reached the peak of its eighth level of evolution, and was promoted to the Saint of War. Now there are battle hall branches all over the world, recruiting a large number of disciples and producing talents in large numbers.

Another example is King Aquamarine, the founder of the Aquamarine Alliance. During the era of great chaos, he led his three brothers to defend the coastline. The four of them worked together to kill a giant turtle that emerged from the deep sea. The battle was frozen for thousands of miles, creating a great opportunity for the elemental masters. Famous and prestigious.

The No. 1 martial arts school in Asia, the founder of the "Bipolar Martial Arts School", the Ghost Ape King, fought to the death with three mutated beasts that had reached the eighth level of evolution in order to cover the retreat of 300,000 people in the era of great chaos, and finally broke through to the level of the Martial Saint. He is known as the strongest fighter in Asia. Now, he has already reached the legendary realm of the God of War.

In addition to the influence of these top martial arts schools, there are also people who use the model of business groups or guilds to survive together and obtain greater benefits and resources.

In the Ji'an survival base in Ludong Province, there are three largest organizations, namely the Hongdu Group, the Heijiang Martial Arts Branch of the Heijiang King, and the Free People's Alliance.

The founder of Hongdu Group is known as the King of Hongdu. His industry mainly develops biopharmaceuticals and is the most important pharmaceutical supply company in Jian base.

This young man's name is Yuan Qing, and he formed a free man team called the Wolf Fang Team. Because he had a conflict with people from the Hongdu Group during hunting, he was hunted down by a hired hunting team called by the Hongdu Group for seven days!

"It's not like the mutated beast crystal caused this situation just for the sake of breaking a stone. Hongdu Group, are you full enough?"

Yuan Qing's face was gloomy as he looked at a palm-sized bluestone slab in his hand. It was dotted with many tiny pinpoint-sized light spots, twinkling like stars in the sky.

As mutant beasts grow, they have a chance to produce transparent crystals in their bodies, called beast crystals. Beast crystal is extremely rare and is an excellent material for forging weapons and making medicines. After Yuan Qing and his team killed a mutated beast, they found the stone slab from its body. However, they were seen by the mission team of the Hongdu Group who happened to be passing by. They mistakenly thought that Yuan Qing and the others had obtained a beast crystal, so they met Cai Cai. Get up and start a fight.

During the chase, reinforcements from the Hongdu Group continued to join. In the end, Yuan Qing's Langya team was completely wiped out, and only he survived. But the Hongdu Group also paid the price of annihilating all four teams, so that now, it has changed from a simple fight for wealth to a situation of endless struggle.

Hongdu Group announced a reward order to hunt down Yuan Qing and reward him with 50,000 alliance coins. Any mercenary team can take on this task.

Just as Yuan Qing was lying on the tree observing the bluestone slab, more than ten kilometers away in the southwest, three burly men with similar looks were wearing camouflage combat uniforms; the eldest of the three suddenly raised his left hand , looked at the smart watch on his wrist.

On the watch, a bright red dot slowly lit up.

"Over there!" The boss turned to look in the direction of Yuan Qing, his eyes shining wildly, "The detection satellite has produced results. There are abnormal life fluctuations over there. The wanted criminal announced by Hongdu Group is over there!"

Swish, swish, swish!

The three of them all rushed towards Yuan Qing's escape direction. While running, they kept looking at the smart watch. The bright red dot on it flashed faster and faster, and the actual distance displayed was getting closer quickly.

Ten kilometers, five kilometers, two kilometers, one thousand meters...

About nine hundred meters away, the three of them stopped outside a dense forest.

The dense forest is densely populated with trees, some tens of meters high, two or three meters in diameter, and some as short as ten meters. The shrubs and weeds are overgrown, and the line of sight is severely blocked, making it impossible to see clearly what is going on inside.

"Third brother, get ready!" The boss looked at his smart watch and shouted, "The target is at four o'clock, 980 meters away, within the maximum range of the Vulcan gun."

The third child, who had a scar on his left eye, unhooked a forty-centimeter-long, extremely thick silver-white metal box from his back. He opened the box and took out many metal parts. He moved very quickly and assembled it into a gleaming black sniper rifle in just ten seconds. , the barrel of the gun was thick and heavy, and two golden bullets with a diameter of four centimeters were loaded. He brought his right eye to the scope and started aiming in the four o'clock direction.

On the big branch in the dense forest, the muscles in the corners of Yuan Qing's eyes twitched suddenly. Without hesitation, the bluestone in his hand was suddenly stuffed into his arms, and his body was like a bolt of lightning, and he rushed out from the branch.

Almost the moment he left the tree trunk, there was a sudden explosion. The branch he had just rested on was violently broken by a bullet fired from a distance. Debris from the branch flew into the air, and the bark flew out more than ten meters!

"It came so fast, and there was no time to rest!" Yuan Qing's pupils tightened, and he changed directions and fled deep into the dense forest, his face extremely solemn, "It's so powerful, it's at least a second-grade fire god gun, and maybe even a third-grade thunder god gun. , a thermal weapon of this level will be finished once it is bombarded!"

He ran faster and faster, and the distance between him and the opponent quickly widened. He never heard the second gunshot, and his expression became more serious: "The effective range of the Vulcan Gun is 2,500 meters. If you can't run beyond the range of 3,000 meters, you will be killed." We are not out of danger, especially since the sniper can still move, so we must get rid of him quickly.”

Although his expression was stern, Yuan Qing was not panicked: "Snipe me with a hot weapon. The opponent is a spiritual warrior! Although I am also a spiritual warrior, my talent is closer to that of a fighter. The speed of ordinary people cannot catch up with me!"

At the edge of the dense forest in the distance, the three pursuers had indeed begun to chase, rushing into the dense forest, locking the position tightly, but the speed was slightly slower. The actual distance displayed by the smart watch was slowly being stretched away, and it was almost out of the effective range!

"No more chasing!" The three of them stopped. The boss's eyes flashed fiercely, staring at the direction Yuan Qing was escaping. "Third brother, fire the second shot. It's up to you whether you can complete this order!"

The third child nodded sadly and raised his Vulcan gun to take aim.

About three seconds later, the golden bullet in the magazine of the Vulcan gun emitted a faint orange-red light, shining through the gun body, like a firefly.

boom!

A flame more than half a meter long burst out from the barrel of the gun, and a ripple of air wave visible to the naked eye appeared in front of it. It brought up a string of air explosion ripples, leaving a straight trajectory in the air, and went straight into the dense forest ahead. .

In the dense forest, Yuan Qing's body suddenly twisted while he was running. The golden bullet grazed his clothes, passed close to his waist, threw out a drop of blood, and sank into a big tree, exploding half of the tree.

Yuan Qing's speed did not slow down, and his figure disappeared into the bushes and grass, never to be seen again.

"What a pity!" Lao San shook his head: "This Vulcan Spear is not my psychic weapon. It cannot be combined with psychic powers. I can only add psychic effects to the bullets. Otherwise, he will be dead with this shot!"

"We are the Vulcan Scythe team, accepting a bounty mission to hunt down wanted criminals." The boss was silent for a long time, slowly raised his wrist, operated a few times on the smart watch, and whispered into the radio hole, "Squad number 5576- At 06531, the Vulcan gun bullets were suspected of injuring the target and fled towards Tianming Mountain."

After about two seconds, a neutral electronic voice came from the smart watch: "Recorded, please continue hunting."

After ending the communication, the boss clenched his fist fiercely and hit a big tree nearby, causing the bark to fly. He roared: "Asshole!"

"Please continue to hunt, I'm going to kill him!" Lao San put away his sniper rifle and cursed directly, "This wanted criminal named Yuan Qing has killed four hunting teams, a total of twelve evolvers. Let's The two Vulcan bombs have been used up, so what are we hunting for?!"

The second child, who had been silent, held an alloy dagger in his hand. He clicked on his smart watch a few times with cold eyes: "Brother, third child, Yuan Qing's bounty has been increased to 100,000 alliance coins, which is enough for us. After replacing most of the latest combat equipment, even without the Vulcan bombs, it doesn't matter if you fight him in close combat, as long as..."

Before the second child could finish speaking, the boss next to him suddenly shouted: "Little..."

Before the word "heart" could be uttered, a snow-white sword light passed by the second child's neck like a spirit snake spitting a letter.

laugh!

A head soared into the sky, blood spurted out seven or eight meters high, and hot steam spread across a large area on the ground.

"Second brother!" The boss's eyes instantly turned red. His right hand fell on the short alloy stick at his waist, and he was about to pull it out.

However.

Two swish sounds sounded almost at the same time, and the two sword lights passed by the necks of the boss and the third child at the same time, almost in no particular order.

In less than a second, all three members of the Vulcan Scythe team were wiped out!

"Hiss..." Yuan Qing slowly put away the sword and reached out to touch the right side of his waist, which was dripping with blood. The muscles on his face twitched slightly, and he rummaged through the three corpses to find several thumb-sized bottles of potion, swallowed them all, and leaned against the tree to wait quietly.

About five seconds later, the original injury on the left leg recovered as before, while the wound on the right psoas muscle emitted light white smoke, and new muscle blood vessels grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. It took more than 20 seconds in total to be removed. Two-thirds of the wounds caused by the Vulcan bullets were healed, and there were still some superficial wounds.

Fortunately, the bleeding has stopped and will not worsen.

"Too poor." Yuan Qing secretly shook his head.

The medicine found on them was the Hongdu Group's first-level recovery medicine. The selling price was stable at 200 alliance coins per bottle, and the effect of treating injuries could only be considered average. If there was a second-level recovery potion, one bottle would be enough to completely heal the wound on his waist.

But the price is also relatively expensive. Each bottle sells for 1,000 alliance coins. With the strength of the Vulcan Scythe team, it cannot afford it.

"His watch seems to be able to communicate with the Hongdu Group." Yuan Qing thought for a moment, took off the smart watch from the wrist of the boss's corpse, and established contact with the Hongdu Group. "I am Yuan Qing, and I will tell you now, destroy my team. I will definitely avenge you and let your people wash their necks and wait."

Just a second later, a rich man's voice came from the smart watch: "Yuan Qing, give up running now and surrender to my Hongdu Building. Maybe there is a chance of survival. If you are stubborn, continue to fight with me Hongdu." If you are against the whole group, I promise to let you..."

Before the man could finish speaking, Yuan Qing threw away his smart watch, turned around and walked slowly towards the dense forest.

"Hongdu Group...I will settle this account with you sooner or later!"

At the same time, in the Jian Survival Base, a hundred-story building with a height of 400 meters, a middle-aged man wearing a silver-white alloy armor looked at his smart watch and slowly shook his head.

A sound of rustling footsteps came from the bracelet, as well as the sharp sound of a sword cutting through bushes and grass, which was gradually fading away and becoming inaudible.

A man dressed as an assistant walked in and said cautiously: "Supervisor, Vice President Luo found out about Yuan Qing and was very angry. He said that we couldn't even get a free man, which would damage the reputation of Hongdu Group..."

"I understand." The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes slightly, pressed the red button on his bracelet, and said in a low voice: "I order to suspend the employment mission and send the Hongdu Guards to the Tianming Mountain area to hunt down Yuan Qing!"

Immediately, a rough man's voice came out: "Supervisor, please don't worry, if our guard team takes action, Yuan Qing will die!"

"No." A sharp light flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, "Remember, I want to live! Capture him and show his head outside the base to let everyone know the consequences of offending our Hongdu Group!"
