The pickup truck sped along the dilapidated road and entered the plains. There were clearly many villages and towns, but they were all empty. From time to time, empty villages would flash by outside the window. Cows and sheep could also be seen wandering in the villages. Clearly, the people had left in a hurry and didn't even have time to take their livestock with them.
Thirteen stared blankly outside the window. His eyes were unfocused. Luo Kai was a man of few words, so the mother and daughter in the backseat didn't dare to speak. Only the human bear in the back of the truck roared excitedly from time to time.
A concrete sentry post came into view. When the pickup truck was about to approach, a group of soldiers in black chainmail rushed out from the sentry post and raised a bar to stop the truck.
"Stop the truck!"
"Stop the truck for inspection!"
Luo Kai frowned slightly and slowly stopped the truck.
The soldiers looked at the human bear in the back of the truck and didn't dare to approach. One of them, a fierce-looking soldier with tattoos on his arm, shouted, "We are the 045 Inspection Brigade of the Sky Combat Army. Get out of the truck for inspection."
"What do these people want?
Are they from the army? "
Although these people were wearing standard military uniforms, they looked fierce and didn't look like good people. Wang Lan asked in fear.
"It's fine."
Luo Kai opened the door and got out. Wang Lan hesitated for a moment, then said something to her daughter. She took out a wooden stick and got out of the truck as well. The human bear also jumped out of the truck and growled twice at the soldiers surrounding it. This was its way of greeting, but these people didn't know. They hurriedly raised their guns as they retreated.
The tattooed man looked at the wooden Thirteen in the truck and said to Luo Kai, "Please take out your physical warrior certificate."
The Association for Physical Arts was responsible for managing the high-end combat power of the human race. It stipulated that all physical warriors in the human race had to register with the Association for Physical Arts and issue a physical warrior certificate. On the certificate, one's background, position, and rank would be listed in detail. Luo Kai also had one, but he didn't know where it was now. He shook his head and said, "No."
The tattooed man's eyes flashed. "We are investigating a cult. Everyone must cooperate. If you don't have something that identifies you, you must come back with us."
Luo Kai sighed softly. The heartbeat and pulse of everyone around him, as well as the subtle psychological fluctuations, were clearly reflected in his mind. Beasts were also classified as Ferocious Beasts, so there was a certain probability that they could refine an Intermediate Gene Potion. Wealth and silk moved people's hearts, so these people had evil intentions.
"Should we go and find them?" Wang Lan saw that Luo Kai did not respond for a long time, so she came over and asked in a low voice.
Luo Kai indifferently.
The tattooed man quietly gestured to the sentry post behind him, and a heavy machine gun immediately aimed at them. That's right, they were indeed tempted.
Right now, the Sky Combat Army was in a state of chaos. Military discipline was lax, and there was no one to manage the various branches. The Direbeast corpses obtained from the main battlefield were not much left in the hands of these middle and low-level officers. Moreover, they had exchanged their lives for these corpses. The inspection team didn't participate in direct battles, so they didn't get much of a share.
A fully matured Direbeast was worth at least tens of millions of star dollars in the market. It was several times more than a few years ago. Although the person who carried the Direbeast was probably not an ordinary person, as long as it was done cleanly, no one would be able to find out. These aristocrats could only blame themselves for acting alone.
He secretly estimated that a matured Direbeast's combat power was equivalent to a high-level Physique Warrior. This young man should also be a high-level Physique Warrior. There was also the unknown person in the truck. On his side, there were also three high-level Physique Warriors, but there were still six middle-level Physique Warriors. In addition to the anti-aircraft cannon at the sentry post, dealing with three people and one beast was a piece of cake.
Wang Lan's senses were very sharp. Sensing that the atmosphere was a little strange, she panicked. "What are you doing?"
The Sky Combat Army's tattooed man said coldly, "I suspect that you are from a cult. Obediently surrender, or don't blame us for being impolite!"
Wang Lan hugged the wooden stick in her hand and said in a trembling voice, "We are just ordinary people, not some cult."
The man on the left smiled cruelly. "Whether or not we are a cult is up to us to decide."
"Girl, you look pretty good. Serve us well and we will let you go. Haha."
The others had already revealed their ferocious looks. Another person said viciously, "The Direbeasts have already entered the territory. Thousands of people are eaten by the Direbeasts every day. Behave yourself. Otherwise, we don't mind using you as bait to lure the Direbeasts."
"So you really did such a thing?"
Luo Kai suddenly opened his mouth. As his voice fell, the air seemed to become cold. Everyone present could not help but shiver.
The Sky Combat Army's tattooed man faintly felt a sense of crisis. However, he saw the anti-aircraft machine gun in the sentry post. It was a sharp weapon specially used to deal with the Direbeasts with thick skin. Its firing speed and power were far superior to ordinary firearms. His courage was boosted. He raised his long knife and shouted coldly, "Go, do it cleanly!"
Before his voice fell, his vision suddenly blurred. Then his arm became cold. The arm holding the long knife fell to the ground. Only then did he react and let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.
Luo Kai looked at the others with cold eyes. Once the murderous intent rose in his heart, it was so fierce that it was simply unstoppable. He had been trying to restrain himself, but some things were more restrained, the more violent they were.
"Kill him, shoot!" The Sky Combat Army's tattooed man held the broken arm and kept retreating. He was full of resentment as he roared repeatedly.
"Da da da!" The anti-aircraft machine gun in the sentry post spewed out flames.
Luo Kai's eyes were cold. At the moment when the gunshots were fired, he had already calculated several dodging routes. However, there were still vehicles behind him.
His eyes were as bright as stars. He stretched out his hand and pressed forward. An invisible force field enveloped the surroundings. The air seemed to become incomparably heavy. When the bullets were about to hit him, they suddenly stopped and floated in the air.
Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them. The tattooed man felt that this scene was somewhat familiar. He had been in the military for many years and had deep contact with the physical masters of the Tuoba family. Most of the people of the Tuoba family practiced metal attribute physical skills. After reaching a certain level, they could slightly control metal. However, the anti-aircraft machine gun's firing speed and power were unparalleled. Even a middle or high level physical master would not dare to take it head-on. He had only seen this scene from the Sky Combat Army's general, Tuoba Xiong. He trembled and said, "You … you are an advanced physical master!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a faint figure flash by. A chill rose from his throat. The connection between his nerves and his brain was cut off. His head flew high into the air. The scene in front of him spun rapidly. Before he died, he finally realized that a person would not die immediately after their head was cut off.
The other people heard the tattooed man's words before he died. They were all terrified. If it was just an ordinary physical master, they would have a small chance of escaping. However, in front of an advanced physical master, there was no hope at all. Some of them were stunned on the spot. Some of them fell to their knees and begged for mercy.
Initially, Luo Kai did not intend to kill them. However, mercy might not bring good results. He quickly turned around and used his palms to point and slice. In just a moment, everyone near the sentry post was killed. Even the few machine gunners in the sentry post were punched through the concrete wall. All of them were killed in one blow. At this point, the Physique Warriors were like ants in front of him. They had no power to resist at all.
After killing, he expressionlessly tore off the clothes of a corpse and wiped off the blood stains on his palm. The experiences of these two years had already made his heart as hard as stone. Killing people no longer stirred up waves in his heart.
"You … you killed people!" Wang Lan said with a pale face.
"Sometimes, people are scarier than beasts," Luo Kai replied coldly.
Brown Bear crawled up from the ground and howled, as if agreeing with his words.
The pickup truck started moving again. Luo Kai looked at the barren wheat fields on both sides of the road. The Sky Combat Army had been reduced to such a state. How could an endless army of beasts resist them?
