Seeing the monsters, the two of them rallied and continued to eliminate them.

Feng He stood guard in front of Shi Feng, laser gun at the ready. She instantly shot down any mutant beast that came near them.

The battle raged on with no end in sight.

The War Gods had become completely numb.

After killing those two, Yun Yiyou had been cutting down the monsters non-stop.

But there were too many of them. His spiritual power was immense, but he couldn’t use it indiscriminately. If he unleashed it all at once, it wouldn’t just be the monsters—the humans would die right alongside them.

Therefore, Yun Yiyou had to restrain his spiritual power, which made his progress against the monsters much slower.

Worse still, the monsters kept appearing in an endless stream, showing no signs of stopping.

“Are we all going to die here?”

“No way. There’s no way we’re dying on this godforsaken planet.”

“Our future is bright!”

The moment the soldier who had shouted about a bright future finished speaking, a monster lunged from nearby and bit his entire upper body off in one gulp.

Those standing near him were drenched in his blood. The warm spray on their skin sent shivers down their spines.

One soldier raised a hand to his face, his fingers coming away wet with blood. His eyes flew open, and his entire body began to tremble uncontrollably.

‘He’s dead, just like that?’

‘The blood is still warm.’

After devouring the man’s upper body, the monster’s eyes scanned the area. Once it locked onto a new target, it let out a deafening roar. “ROAR—”

The roar snapped the soldiers back to their senses. They raised their weapons and opened fire on the monster from all directions.

After they brought the monster down, those closest to it were overcome with the feeling of having narrowly escaped death.

But that relief vanished when they saw the countless monsters in the distance. Their hearts leaped into their throats.

‘There are so many… Can we even kill them all?’

—

Lin Jingjing’s fist smashed right into Huang Bo Lin’s face, and the Protective Shield covering his body shattered into pieces again.

The Protective Shield was formed from spiritual power, yet his spiritual power took no damage when it broke. Seeing this, Lin Jingjing frowned slightly.

Huang Bo Lin got up from the ground and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand. “You really pack a punch,” he said, his tone serious.

“Your Shield shattered, so why wasn’t your spiritual power damaged?” Lin Jingjing voiced her confusion.

To her question, Huang Bo Lin answered with surprising eagerness. “Remember that potion I launched a while back? The one that gives ordinary people spiritual power.”

“That potion also prevents the user from taking backlash damage when something they’ve manifested with their spiritual power is destroyed. In a way, it makes up for our own incomplete evolution.”

“Pretty amazing, isn’t it?” Huang Bo Lin asked with a smile.

The look on his face showed just how proud he was.

Lin Jingjing stood up straight. “You said the raw materials were incredibly expensive. What are they made of?” she asked.

“People,” Huang Bo Lin said softly. “One bottle of Recovery Potion requires 10 to 30 people to make. And they have to be people with spiritual power.”

CRACK—

The tree next to Lin Jingjing splintered and toppled from the force of her punch.

“You’re an animal,” Lin Jingjing said, her face a mask of fury.

“At the press conference that day, how many bottles did Huanle Company put up for sale?”

Huang Bo Lin: “500 bottles.”

The moment he finished speaking, Lin Jingjing’s fist landed on Huang Bo Lin’s face. “Go to hell!”

“You butcher!”

“What’s wrong with them making a contribution to the greater good?” Huang Bo Lin narrowly dodged her attack, continuing shamelessly, “Their deaths fuel the progress of humankind.”

“Their deaths had value. Besides, they were just a bunch of useless trash with Grade C spiritual power. Dead is dead.”

‘Such a blatant disregard for human life.’

‘In this world, the weak never get to die of old age.’

‘They either die at the hands of an enemy or in the jaws of a mutant beast.’

‘Their final fate is to be reduced to a pile of ash. No one will know them. No one will remember what they did or what they suffered.’

“The Empire… what a wretched place.” At this moment, Lin Jingjing felt utterly weary in body and soul.

‘It’s just too awful.’

“Hahaha, you feel that way too?” Huang Bo Lin burst out laughing. He’d assumed she was a true believer in the Empire, but it seemed she was just as cynical as anyone else.

“The Empire might be wretched, but you’re dying today.” Lin Jingjing’s fury erupted. Her hands transformed into two pistols, and she opened fire on him.

Her marksmanship was incredible. The first two shots immediately struck Huang Bo Lin in the shoulder and abdomen.

Lin Jingjing had no intention of letting him off. She kept firing.

Each shot deliberately avoided his vital organs. Huang Bo Lin tried to dodge, but Lin Jingjing anticipated his every move.

There was no escape.

With a grim expression, Lin Jingjing systematically cut off all of Huang Bo Lin’s escape routes.

In that moment, Huang Bo Lin felt the full force of Lin Jingjing’s oppressive presence.

‘I knew from my men that her shooting was good,’ he thought, ‘but I never imagined she’d be this good.’

“Your marksmanship…” Huang Bo Lin slumped to the ground, his body riddled with bullet holes. He looked up at Lin Jingjing. “…It’s really something else.”

“To shoot me so many times and still avoid my vital organs.”

Ignoring him, Lin Jingjing approached with a rope and a pair of spiritual-power-suppressing handcuffs to restrain him.

Only after tying him up did Lin Jingjing speak. “Why did you let me catch you?”

“Can’t you mutate?”

‘Mutate?’

‘Does she mean undergoing Luo Zhuo’s modifications, like some of my men did?’

“Heh…” Huang Bo Lin let out a laugh. “No. If my wife knew, she’d be angry.”

Speaking of Su Wen, Huang Bo Lin looked up at her and said, “Can I see my wife?”

“She’s lying in bed, she hasn’t woken up. If I’m gone, I don’t know what she’ll do.”

“Isn’t your wife dead?” Lin Jingjing frowned. The records showed that Huang Bo Lin’s wife, Su Wen, was already dead.

“No.” Huang Bo Lin shook his head. “My wife is alive and well!”

Lin Jingjing frowned. In the end, she didn’t say any more. She grabbed him by the collar and headed toward Feng He and the others.

Arriving by Feng He’s side, she saw the four of them in a sorry state and frowned. “What happened to you all?”

“You’re all a mess.”

The moment Shi Feng saw it was Lin Jingjing, he excitedly rushed over and hugged her.

“Sister Lin, I thought I’d never see you again!”

He finally released her when he noticed the man on the ground behind her. He took a closer look, saw it was Huang Bo Lin, and immediately strode over to him.

“Fuck! We finally got you!”
