A 'Ji gasped and covered his ears. Just like the villagers around him, he looked like he was in great pain.
They might have been deformed, but their eardrums were as weak as normal people's. There was no way they could withstand the sonic booms from the motorized armor above their heads.
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes and looked above him.
Eight motorized armor charged forward. They did not care that if they charged forward, they might destroy more buildings around them. Instead, they chased after a superhuman with a non-motorized hang glider.
The seemingly panicked superhuman was Meng Chao's "old acquaintance". He was Tsunami Wan Zhuiyun, one of the three guards in the Deification Capsule pharmacy!
On the surface, they were law enforcers who came from outside to capture a vicious wanted criminal.
But if Tsunami Wan Zhuiyun was desperate and created a large destructive spirit energy magnetic field, the captors would be eager to make a contribution and would not have time to care about the casualties of the bystanders. In fact, they would not even have time to stop the wanted criminal from hurting Ms. Mulian.
That … made sense, right?
'They're together!'
Meng Chao's mind raced, and he immediately realized what was going on. 'Tsunami Wan Zhuiyun is a lost person, and the former Reaper Squad member with the skull mask are the Vortex's minions. They're working together here and putting on a show. They're waiting for a chance to kill Ms. Mulian, who's incredibly important to the villagers and Wild Wolves!'
Just as he expected, right when this thought flashed in his head, Tsunami Wan Zhuiyun let out a strange cry and pounced on the normal villagers on the ground.
By the looks of it, he wanted to crawl into the crowd and use the innocent villagers as his meat shields.
The non-motorized hang glider was naturally not as agile as the motorized armor with multiple crystal engine nozzles.
The eight captors clearly had the chance to stop him or shoot him down from the air.
But they could only watch as Tsunami Wan Zhuiyun landed on the ground.
Shick! Shick! Shick!
The moment Tsunami Wan Zhuiyun landed on the ground, he threw dozens of tear gas grenades around him. Along with the smoke that came from the smoldering flames in the depths of the collapsed ruins, the smoke enveloped a circular area of hundreds of meters.
When the smoke completely dispersed, the captors pounced on it.
Then, the sounds of fighting came from the smoke. It was as if both sides were fighting with their lives on the line.
However, the black mist rose and poisonous smoke filled the air. The ordinary villagers' eyes were red and swollen from the spiciness. Tears streamed down their faces as they coughed non-stop.
There was no way he could see what Tsunami Wan Zhuiyun and those so-called "captors" were doing inside!
Tsunami Wan Zhuiyun was most skilled at shaking the air and creating high-frequency sound waves.
Within the range of his spirit energy magnetic field, the sound waves would not only tear apart a normal person's eardrums, they could also shatter a human's brain and organs.
Both sides might have seemed to be fighting fiercely, but in truth, the "captor" did not intend to stop Wan Zhuiyun from creating his spirit energy magnetic field.
The violent and fatal sound waves that were like tsunamis continuously spread in all directions, causing the innocent villagers in the surroundings to vomit blood and flee in panic.
The buildings nearby were already shaking because of the super crystal bombs in the first place. Now that they were under the high-frequency soundwave attack of 'Tsunami' Wan Zhuiyun, they were shaking visibly, too, as if they would collapse at any moment.
For a time, the scene was in chaos.
Many villagers panicked and fled in all directions.
But there were also a lot of villagers who rushed to the medical tent regardless of the cost while shouting, "Hurry up and protect Ms. Mulian so that she can leave this place!"
By the looks of it, A 'Ji was not lying. Ms. Mulian's prestige in Leprosy Village did not lose to that of the village chief. She was like a living Bodhisattva who saved people from hardship, so many villagers were willing to sacrifice their own lives to protect her.
Unfortunately, the villagers did not know that the fugitives and captors fighting in the smoke grenades were actually in cahoots.
They shouted loudly, and it was the perfect time to point out Ms. Mulian's coordinates to the fugitives and captors with ulterior motives.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
A few more smoke grenades shot out from the smoke.
The smoke that brought with it the effects of dizziness, numbness, and tears instantly grabbed the medical tent with the fluttering wooden lotus flag like a demonic claw!
"Go!"
Meng Chao roughly helped A 'Ji put on his goggles. Then, he stuffed the filter chip he removed from Corpse-eating Dog Du Ming's motorized armor into A' Ji's mask.
"I-I have to go too?"
A 'Ji stuttered. The scene in front of him was too terrifying, and he seemed to want to retreat.
"Duh, without you, how would I know which one is Ms. Mulian?!"
Meng Chao grabbed A 'Ji and rushed into the smoke against the crowd.
The two of them were instantly enveloped by darkness.
They were surrounded by raging waves of heat and raging darkness.
The piercing shouts, gunshots, and explosions just a moment ago became blurry and indistinct.
Meng Chao activated Walking Corpse and lowered his breathing, heartbeat, and body temperature to the point that they were close to that of a real dead person.
He melted into the darkness like a ghost.
If the tip of his nose was not touching the tip of his nose, no one would have noticed his existence.
Beside him, A 'Ji was so scared that his face turned ashen. He shuddered, his breathing was like bellows, and his heart was beating like drums.
The closer they got to the medical tent, the thicker the suffocating smoke became. They could not even see their own fingers.
There was no way A 'Ji could withstand it. Even though he managed to hold back his screams, his teeth chattered violently, and he could not stop them.
Soon, the first captor in motorized armor appeared in the smoke.
A 'Ji's breathing and heartbeat were so intense that the sound of his teeth chattering could be heard from five meters away.
This former member of the Reaper Squad, who had extremely sharp senses, naturally heard everything clearly.
He saw a white skull mask appear in the black smoke, and the "middle-aged man" beside him had disappeared without a trace at some point in time.
A 'Ji broke down completely. He screamed, and his legs went limp. He fell to the ground.
The former Reaper Squad member naturally did not regard A 'Ji as a threat.
In truth, he did not regard all the villagers aside from the Wild Wolves as a threat.
After all, they were now playing the role of law enforcers, and their fighting strength was far above that of the deformed children. They could fearlessly release their desire to kill, which they had suppressed for a long time. No one could stop them.
The former Reaper Squad member's mission was to search for and kill Ms. Mulian. There was no need for him to attack the brat who looked like he was about to pee his pants.
But there was no need for him not to attack, right?
A brutal smile appeared on the former Reaper Squad member's lips under the white skull mask. He aimed at the center of A 'Ji's brows and raised the gun in his hand.
Then, he felt a gust of cold wind blow past him.
Immediately after, he felt a chill on his neck. The cold wind seemed to have reached his brain through his carotid artery, causing his blood vessels and brain cells to freeze.
His finger was already on the trigger, but he could not pull it back no matter what.
"…"
A 'Ji was dumbfounded as he watched a ghost surround the "captor" from behind and accurately stab a sharp blade that was as thin as a cicada's wing into the gap of the motorized armor's throat. Then, with a pull, the terrifying skull mask practically turned 180 degrees.
The former Reaper Squad member did not even have the time to scream. In 0.1 seconds, he was killed by the real Reaper.
It was only when Meng Chao calmly removed the man's entire armor and put it on him with familiar movements that A 'Ji registered what was going on.
"Y-You lied to me again!"
The boy said in exasperation. "You didn't want me to identify Ms. Mulian, but to use me as bait to attract the captors' attention!"
"I had no choice. I was injured, and I didn't want to fight against these people for too long," Meng Chao said.
"You helped me a lot this time. That's all. Once we're done, all my grievances will be paid for by the steak!"
Before the boy could protest, Meng Chao closed the motorized armor's helmet with a hiss.
To block all frequencies in Leprosy Village and even all of Golden Tooth Lair, the enemy had gone as far as to detonate the super crystal bombs. They might have even activated a lot of indiscriminate interference devices that did not differentiate between friend and foe.
Hence, the motorized armor's communication system, tactical data link system, real-time video, and physiological parameters monitoring system were all shut down.
The enemy could not contact each other either.
Besides, they had thrown a lot of smoke bombs, which severely affected the enemy's vision and senses, so the entire battlefield was basically a black box.
In a black box with no information, the side with fewer people would have an advantage.
The enemy's numbers were fewer compared to the villagers, so they could take advantage of the situation and fish in troubled waters.
But Meng Chao was alone. He was the most cunning hunter in the dark!
Even now, the "captors" did not realize that the identities of the hunter and the prey had changed and that the real God of Death had just arrived.
They did not bother hiding their spirit flames. They released all sorts of fierce spirit energy magnetic fields on their way to the medical tent.
It was especially so for Tsunami Wan Zhuiyun.
His mission seemed to be to use a large-scale sound wave attack to kill more innocent villagers indiscriminately and stir up the anger of all of Leprosy Village.
As the source of the "tsunami", his vitality magnetic field shone like a lighthouse. Meng Chao immediately locked down on this criminal who had committed countless crimes.
Meng Chao sucked in a deep breath and walked straight to Tsunami Wan Zhuiyun.
Wan Zhuiyun had long since seen his skull mask, so he was not on guard against him. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and looked intoxicated.
"How many did you kill?"
Meng Chao asked through gritted teeth. He frowned behind the helmet.
He wanted to confirm the relationship between the "fugitives" and the "captors" one last time.
"Countless," Wan Zhuiyun said happily.
Wan Zhuiyun did not suspect anything. He said excitedly, "Now, that Wild Wolf is definitely going to go berserk!"
"Yes."
Meng Chao cast a glance at the horrifying corpses in the smoke around him and said clearly, "He's definitely going to go berserk."
Each word he said through gritted teeth contained incredibly sharp killing intent, and it cut into Tsunami Wan Zhuiyun's heart before his saber.
The criminal shuddered. His face was full of shock, and despair and fear appeared in his dazed eyes.
