"Are you saying Director Lei is in danger?" The lieutenant colonel officer hurriedly asked.

"Xiao Changming is stronger than you imagine. With Lei Ruiyang's level of power chasing after him, it's just suicidal!" Chen Shouyi said bluntly.

The lieutenant colonel's expression changed dramatically upon hearing this.

The other party, as a Martial Artist, was the first to notice Xiao Changming's abnormalities, and instinctively, he trusted Chen Shouyi's judgment.

To avoid alerting the enemy, the military's arrangement this time was rather hasty and completely underestimated, thinking that Chen Shouyi and Lei Ruiyang alone could capture him.

Of course, this plan was not bad, but it clearly underestimated Xiao Changming's alertness and power.

For such a strong figure, if he is intent on escaping, this kind of low-density firepower layout is utterly useless.

Chen Shouyi looked at the two rows of pits left on the street, the concrete had already turned to powder, one row of pits being a foot in diameter, obviously left by Xiao Changming, while the other row was much smaller and should belong to Lei Ruiyang.

However, he had no intention to chase after them, as from the start of the gunfire to now, nearly a minute had passed—a minute is enough for Xiao Changming to run a few kilometers away or even escape the Safe Zone.

Fortunately, there was a helicopter arranged nearby as a contingency if the other party managed to escape.

A group of people quickly acted.

The helicopter was on the rooftop of a nearby building, Chen Shouyi initially thought it was just an ordinary helicopter, but it turned out to be an armed transport helicopter.

This was the first time he had seen such a colossal helicopter.

It was a steel giant with a length comparable to a basketball court and the height of a two-story building.

Both beehive rocket launcher ports were already filled with rockets, along with a six-barrel machine cannon in the middle. This armed transport helicopter clearly possessed considerable firepower.

Two pilots were already seated in the cockpit, and once everyone boarded the transport cabin, the helicopter quickly took off.

Fifteen people boarded the helicopter, all military Martial Artists.

Everyone was in a gloomy mood, except for the loud buzzing noise from the transport aircraft, clearly showing that the Xiao Changming incident was a heavy blow to all military Martial Artists.

If even Lei Ruiyang died, the comparison between military and civilian Martial Artists' strength would be completely reversed.

Chen Shouyi sat in his seat and checked the attribute panel.

Strength: 16.3

Agility: 16.2

Constitution: 16.4

Intelligence: 14.5

Perception: 14.1

Will: 15.1

Energy Accumulation: 3.1

Compared to a few days ago, his agility had increased by 0.1, but he knew in his heart how much of that increase was real; it was merely on the verge of a numerical change, with limited actual improvement.

Moreover, his perception and will also increased by 0.1.

However, these do not constitute hard power, and their impact on strength is limited.

He finally paid attention to the energy accumulation.

Since absorbing another divinity last time, his energy accumulation rate had accelerated slightly but did not increase much, only rising from 0.15 per day to 0.16, which was better than nothing.

Chen Shouyi closed the attribute panel and shut his eyes, likely preparing for a big battle; he needed to adjust his state.

For example, entering the Memory Virtual World to warm up.

…

Xiao Changming held his wife in his arms, darting through the street, his body moving with ghostly agility to dodge pedestrians.

Screams occasionally echoed.

"Changming, what's happening? Why are soldiers attacking us? Are you hiding something from me?" Xiao Changming's wife asked in panic, her hair flying in the wind, and her eyelids struggled to stay open.

Xiao Changming was silent for a while before he hoarsely said, "Don't worry, we'll be alright; no one can kill us."

His pale face carried a hint of gloominess, but in the day, he managed to barely maintain normalcy compared to the night.

"Are we on the run?" his wife asked softly.

Xiao Changming didn't reply, just kept his head down and ran.

"What about Fei Fei?"

Fei Fei was their daughter, still in her third year of junior high; she had gone to school early in the morning.

"She's still a child, no one will do anything to her," Xiao Changming said coldly.

The wife stopped talking, resting her head against his chest, feeling the stopped heartbeat, his icy body, and the faint smell of decay, she sighed softly.

In truth, ever since her husband returned home that first day, she was delighted but acutely noticed something was off about him.

Worn-out, irritable, uneasy.

He started avoiding her and didn't eat with her anymore; he became fond of darkness, enjoying solitude, and his personality turned increasingly bizarre, often muttering to himself like he was deranged.

It turned out her husband had really died!

Died a month ago.

However, she didn't mind whether her husband had turned into a ghost or a monster; she didn't care.

As long as he was here, it was alright.

Lei Ruiyang pursued closely behind, the distance between them rapidly narrowing: "Xiao Changming, you dog of the Barbarian God, you betrayed humanity! You can't escape!"

He was known for his explosive temper, known for his tyrannical nature, and he would never allow Xiao Changming to escape right under his nose.

To prepare against Hedong City's future encirclement, Xiao Changming did not run too fast, only maintaining a speed of about fifty meters per second, at such a speed, ordinary transportation could not catch up with him, and meanwhile, it didn't consume much of his stamina.

Xiao Changming's face flashed with a hint of ferocity upon hearing this.

Courting death!

Casually grabbing a pedestrian's bicycle, he flung the pedestrian into the air and in the next moment, swung his arm backward and hurled the bicycle forcefully towards Lei Ruiyang chasing behind.

The air roared as the bicycle spun at supersonic speed, rapidly flying towards Lei Ruiyang, who was relentlessly pursuing seven or eight meters behind.

Lei Ruiyang's anger hadn't yet faded before his face rapidly changed.

He was running at full speed, completely caught off guard by this and utterly unable to dodge.

In an instant, the bicycle smashed heavily into his chest. His body flew backward as if hit by a cannonball.

Accompanied by a series of dense bone-cracking sounds, he flew over twenty meters, knocking over more than ten pedestrians, finally crashing into the wall of a shop, coming to a stop.

"Damn it!"

Lei Ruiyang swiftly stood up, quickly walked to the street, and after taking just five steps, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, which vaguely contained bits of flesh.

He staggered, straightened back up, and felt a buzzing in his head.

His eyes filled with blood looked blankly at the fleeing pedestrians all around, his face flushed abnormally, and he felt like he was watching a black-and-white silent film, sometimes clear, sometimes blurry.

At this moment, he seemed to hear the sound of water hissing and instinctively glanced down.

Then he saw his chest, where a blood hole the size of a bowl had opened, with copious blood gushing out, and besides that, his sternum was also caved in significantly.

There's... there's no way!

His face showed disbelief.

His legs gave out, his body collapsing to the ground.
