Chapter 139: Chapter 42: On-site Cleanup
In the streets of Steel Dome City, pedestrians were waiting at a traffic light.
Suddenly, a car sped by, stirring up a gust of wind.
Behind it, a loud roaring sound followed.
They looked in that direction and saw a succession of vehicles speeding past, like lightning flashing beside them.
“Street racers?”
Some bystanders, disgusted, picked up their communicators to report the incident.
“Idiots,” cursed the drivers of the normally moving vehicles.
Su Rou’s car was a sports sedan with powerful performance.
But the car was drafty in the rear and packed with people, which affected its speed.
The vehicles following them were closing in.
“Sister Butterfly, give me the gun and you all get down,” Xu Mo said.
Ye Qingdie handed the gun to Xu Mo, who knelt on the passenger seat and fired through the shattered rear window at the car behind them.
A loud “bang” echoed as the rear vehicle’s glass shattered, and the shards directly pierced the driver’s eyes.
The driver screamed tragically, slammed on the brakes, and yanked the steering wheel around, crashing into the roadside barrier and sending the car airborne.
The vehicles in pursuit didn’t follow but instead approached Lin Xi’s car from the left and right sides, with someone in the passenger seat firing at Lin Xi’s car.
However, at such high speeds, their accuracy was very low.
A car chased up from Lin Xi’s side; the passenger window rolled down, revealing a pair of cold eyes staring at Lin Xi as he raised his gun, aiming it at her.
Suddenly, the driver’s steering wheel uncontrollably spun to the left.
The passenger was thrown off balance.
Another loud “bang,” and the vehicle tumbled through the air.
“Whew,” Lin Xi wiped the sweat from her forehead, that was close.
Was it really just luck?
On Xu Mo’s side, vehicles were also closing in, but he was ready.
The moment another car caught up, he opened fire, causing the opposing driver to slam on the brakes in an attempt to dodge the bullets, but a bullet arced directly into the car, blowing the driver’s head off.
Another car was wrecked.
Vehicles on the street slammed on their brakes, staring in shock at the scene unfolding before them.
Life and death at high speed?
“Where are we going?”
Lin Xi asked.
Her brow furrowed in worry.
This time, Xu Mo had killed many people. Even as a student at Noah Academy, such behavior would still be highly problematic.
Ming Group would certainly seize the opportunity to strike.
“To the academy,” Xu Mo said without hesitation.
“Today might be a bit troublesome,” Lin Xi murmured, but she still headed toward the academy.
There was nowhere else to go.
“That’s Lin Qingze’s problem,” Xu Mo thought to himself, though he did not voice it out loud.
He had asked before; Lin Qingze had told him to survive by any means necessary.
Moreover, he had indeed been acting in self-defense.
He didn’t doubt for a moment; in the Lin family’s time, those people indeed wanted to kill him.
Behind them, many vehicles continued to pursue at high speed, but none dared to get too close, even from the side; they kept several lanes away or used other vehicles on the street as cover to overtake.
The other drivers on the street were scared enough.
“They’ve gone past,” Lin Xi noted.
“Hmm,” Xu Mo responded, knowing the overtaking vehicles would likely block the road ahead.
Sure enough, the overtaking vehicles forced some on the road to retreat.
“Bang, bang, bang…” Vehicles on the street collided in a chain reaction.
Lin Xi slammed on the brakes, the tires screeching sharply on the pavement.
It was too late to avoid.
The front of her car rear-ended the one in front, and her body lurched forward, nearly crashing into the steering wheel.
The car came to a stop.
Lin Xi took a deep breath and said, “We’re blocked.”
What now?
Someone came out, holding a weapon and started shooting at Xu Mo’s car.
Xu Mo grabbed Lin Xi’s arm and pulled her down beside him, as the car window shattered.
“Sister Xi, don’t move,” Xu Mo said, Lin Xi could feel his breath close at hand.
“Everyone stay down in the car and don’t move,” Xu Mo said as he raised his gun and fired directly ahead.
“Bang…”
Without needing to see, Xu Mo shot the man in the head, then he opened the passenger door, stepped out, and immediately fired backhanded.
The men behind also shot at Xu Mo, their bullets crossing paths.
The bullets aimed at Xu Mo seemed to slow down, he sidestepped, and the bullets whizzed past him.
But the opponents were not so lucky; their heads were blown open, blood splattering.
“Bang, bang.” Xu Mo continued to fire.
One shot per person, but the opponent’s ordinary weaponry had no effect on him.
Only weapons graded B or higher could threaten him.
Xu Mo saw more vehicles approaching from a distance; with Ming Group’s influence, they were likely armed with B-grade weapons.
This world did not prohibit weapons.
The upper echelons would inevitably spend money to buy equipment and boost their combat power.
Hadn’t Lin Qingze arrived yet?
Lin Xi also got out, sword in hand, a B-grade Source Power Level herself; how could she let Xu Mo fight alone outside?
The cars involved in the crash ahead were eerily quiet, none daring to show their heads, all hiding inside, afraid to move.
When faced with this kind of situation, one could only protect themselves by keeping their heads down.
Across from Xu Mo, he saw a Genetic Warrior.
This Genetic Warrior, much like the Doctor from the Underworld Arena, was experiencing mutations.
Xu Mo opened fire directly, the firepower hitting the opponent’s body, yet it had no effect.
The clothes tore apart, revealing the skin beneath.
At this moment, the opponent’s skin transformed into huge, terrifying scales, his palms turned into sharp claws, and his teeth elongated, resembling a real Monster.
A B-level Genetic Warrior.
Having consumed B-level Genetic Evolution Liquid, mutations became more pronounced, and the body evolved in the direction of the extracted genes.
After firing consecutively, Xu Mo realized firearms were useless and threw his gun on the ground.
“Click…”
The Genetic Warrior stepped directly on a car, causing it to dent, and then leapt into the air towards Xu Mo.
The sharp claws were like blades.
Xu Mo dodged sideways and threw a punch forward.
“Boom.” A muffled sound echoed, but Xu Mo felt as though his fist had struck an iron body.
The Genetic Warrior’s claws swept across as Xu Mo ducked, raising his arm to block, his body shaking from the force as he staggered sideways.
The B-level Combat Power still gave him a strong sense of oppression.
Elsewhere, Lin Xi was also being attacked by Genetic Warriors.
Shadow and Ye Qingdie also got out of the car and joined the fight.
In the distance, vehicles continuously drove by. The vehicles of ordinary people in Steel Dome City detoured to the side, afraid to stop.
Several cars from the Ming Group parked behind.
Many armed men alighted and encircled the area, sealing off this sector.
Next, they just needed to capture their prey.
Just then, a bright light shone down from above.
They looked up to see a Flying Device spiraling downward, the people of Steel Dome City also looked up.
What happened here?
Such a big commotion not only involved speeding and gunfights, but Flying Devices had appeared too.
The Flying Device landed, and Sun Fatty ran down, rushing towards Xu Mo.
“Stop.” The Ming Group’s personnel aimed their firearms at Sun Fatty, but saw that he completely ignored them.
The firearms fired.
Then, defensive Energy Light lit up around Sun Fatty, forming a Protective Shield; the firepower couldn’t penetrate through it at all.
“B-level.”
Those who opened fire frowned. Who was this man?
Sun Fatty ignored them and rushed straight towards Xu Mo.
The Genetic Warrior battling Xu Mo felt an oppressive force. He pushed Xu Mo back and swept his arm, transformed into a claw, towards the charging Sun Fatty, emitting a chilling cold light.
Sun Fatty did not dodge at all. His flesh-covered fist pounded forward.
A loud crash sounded as the blade-like claws broke off directly; the terrifying power slammed into the Genetic Warrior’s fist, breaking bones.
The horrifying punch continued forward and struck him in the abdomen, sending the Genetic Warrior flying backwards.
Even a dent formed on his abdomen as it was pierced straight through by the Energy Light.
“Bang…”
Sun Fatty stepped forward, the ground breaking beneath his feet. Though somewhat overweight, Sun Fatty’s speed was terrifying, his body filled with explosive power, resembling a fierce Monster.
Fear appeared in the eyes of the Genetic Warrior. As Sun Fatty’s fist descended, he raised his hand to block, but it was futile; the punch twisted his arm and then smashed into his head.
His head exploded, blood splattered, and the headless body of the Genetic Warrior fell.
The bloody scene left the onlookers trembling in fear.
That was a B-level Genetic Warrior who was killed with a single punch.
Sun Fatty turned and ran towards Lin Xi.
With a punch, he pierced straight through the heart of a Genetic Warrior.
“Bang, bang, bang…” His furious fists pounded repeatedly, and all the Genetic Warriors surrounding Lin Xi fell, leaving only bodies on the ground.
This left the people from the Ming Group embarrassed, not daring to make any rash moves.
They aimed their firearms towards Sun Fatty.
Just then,
a convoy arrived, its vehicles screeching sharply against the ground.
Fully armed figures alighted from the vehicles, their faces obscured, their guns pointed at the people from the Ming Group.
Seeing this, the Ming Group’s people turned deathly pale.
Who could tell them what was going on?
“Clean up on the spot.” A voice commanded.
Those people opened fire immediately, and without waiting for the Ming Group’s people to figure it out, the firearms, containing Energy Light, penetrated their bodies, dropping them instantly.
This left a few who were still in their vehicles trembling violently.
What happened?
Weren’t they the ones hunting?
Soon, they too were discovered and killed on the spot.
After finishing this, the leader glanced towards Sun Fatty’s side, nodded, and then gestured. The group got into their vehicles and left, as if they had never been there.
Xu Mo saw that all the pursuers had been wiped out, and he hadn’t come back to his senses yet.
Was it over?
A clean-up on the spot.
“So violent?” Xu Mo mumbled, realizing that Lin Qingze’s men had arrived.
He recognized Sun Fatty, the father of Sun Xiaoxiao.
The power of the Extraordinary Academy was more frightening than he had imagined.
