At that moment, Li Yao felt as if he was locked on by 108,000 eyes at the same time. It was as if every weakness on his body had been completely grasped by the enemy.
He finally understood why this Awakened was called 'Hunter'. Indeed, there were probably not many things in the world that could escape from his hunt.
Daniel Zhang was already scared out of his wits when he saw the container truck sweeping toward him. He could not control the direction at all. The off-road vehicle shuddered violently as it moved crazily like a snake.
The enemy had blocked the entire lane. Li Yao and Daniel Zhang had nowhere to run. They wanted to make a 180-degree turn, but there was no time at all. In his desperation, Li Yao let out a shout. The blood vessels and muscles all over his body bulged. He actually unleashed an infinite amount of strength and tore off the entire roof of the off-road vehicle. He grabbed it in his hand like a surfboard.
"Go!"
When the off-road vehicle and the container truck were about to collide, Li Yao grabbed Daniel Zhang by the back of his collar and dragged him out of the car. His legs kicked hard at the back of the off-road vehicle, and he soared into the sky with Daniel Zhang like a roc. He then placed the entire roof under his feet and relied on the muscles of his ankles, knees, and legs to reduce the impact of the landing.
"Chi! Chi! Chi!
Chi! Chi! "Dazzling sparks flew out from the friction between the roof and the ground. Li Yao felt excruciating pain in his legs. He slid hundreds of meters away in one breath and rolled more than ten times on the ground. At this moment, the off-road vehicle and the container truck collided fiercely with a deafening roar. An enormous fireball soared into the sky, illuminating the storm into a scarlet blade.
The momentum of the container truck was slightly hindered, but the Hunter took the opportunity to jump off the vehicle. While he was still in the air, he had already pulled out two pistols with extended clips from his waist. One was silver-white and wrapped in the coldness of death. The other was as bright as burning gold. The bullets that were shot out of the muzzle were mixed with the brilliance of silver and gold. They were like dozens of curved blades that attacked from all directions and formed a crisscrossing cage.
Dodging ordinary bullets was a piece of cake for Li Yao, who had awakened the power of cultivation.
But the moment the hunter's bullets left the chamber, Li Yao felt that the whole space around him had become particularly suffocating and sticky, as if his body and soul had been entangled, enshrouded, and delayed by a certain unbelievable force. He could only watch the dozens of bullets shooting at him 'slowly'. Even though he bit the tip of his tongue and tried to stay awake by moving his limbs and body inch by inch, narrowly dodging the first dozen bullets, his skin was still bleeding because of the bullets that followed.
Li Yao let out a muffled groan and fell off the roof of the car, rolling on the overpass road.
But in the next second, he stood up again. The bullets that had entered his body and shattered his bones and organs did not seem to affect his movements. He gritted his teeth and fired the last nail.
"Huh?"
Behind the dark sunglasses of the Hunter, a hint of surprise beamed out, as if he did not expect that the guy could still maintain a high mobility and combat ability after being shot multiple times. His original target had only been Daniel Zhang, but he was now deeply interested in Li Yao. He dodged Li Yao's storm of nails unhurriedly and approached him, observing Li Yao's bald head carefully. "You are … the college student 'Li Yao'. You are not dead yet? What is this? Is your ability the super cell proliferation and repair ability similar to a gecko's ability to regrow its broken tail? "
Li Yao gritted his teeth and put his hands on the ground. His legs were like two whirlwind axes, fiercely attacking the Hunter's lower body.
The hunter's expression did not change in the slightest. He didn't even bother to take off his sunglasses. The sticky feeling that was close to suffocating once again emerged from his body. It was like a mountain or a deep sea that was firmly suppressing Li Yao, causing Li Yao's movements to slow down by half a beat. In the end, Li Yao was lightly kicked by the hunter and was sent flying hundreds of meters away, almost breaking a street lamp next to the railing.
"Student Li Yao, there are a lot of secrets behind you. Which side do you belong to?"
The Hunter finally took off his sunglasses and took out a silk handkerchief from his suit pocket, slowly wiping his face. His eyes, which had been hidden behind the sunglasses, seemed to be condensing two cold flames. He walked towards Li Yao step by step, "Who gave you the order to approach the author of '40,000 Years of Cultivation'? How did you talk about the 'Ark Foundation' and the 'Apocalypse Organization'? When we return to … the organization, can we have a good talk about these questions? "
Li Yao leaned against the cement railing and spat out a mouthful of sticky and stinky blood. He faintly felt that all the bones in his chest were broken.
Good. Very good. The guy is indeed stronger than I thought. However, hehe. It was exactly because of such a heart-wrenching attack that his nerve endings and gene strands were all opened. Li Yao vaguely felt that as long as he could survive the test, he would certainly be stronger than before, as long as …
Li Yao searched his body, and his face suddenly changed.
"Where are my energy bars? Where did my big bag of energy bars and energy glue go? "
The Hunter was getting closer and closer.
"Ugh …"
Li Yao raised his hands high and made a gesture of surrender. He said weakly, "Well … Mister, I feel that there may be some misunderstanding between us. It's not a problem if you want to have a good chat, but can you wait until I have something to eat first? How should I put it … I'm suddenly a little hungry. I'm afraid it's hypoglycemia. I can't think properly at all! "
The hunter smiled and raised his guns at Li Yao again.
The energy ripples emitted by the special bullets targeted at the Awakened could be clearly seen in the black rain.
At this moment, a cloud of rolling gray fog suddenly rose from all directions.
As if it had a life of its own, the gray fog quickly enveloped Li Yao and Daniel Zhang. It even split into dozens of gray tentacles that swept toward the hunter's hands and guns.
The hunter finally showed an expression that was different from his usual 'indifferent' expression. Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. In one breath, he fired all the bullets at Li Yao, who was in the gray fog.
Li Yao vomited blood. Ignoring his serious injuries, he dodged to the side. However, he found that the bullets that were shot into the gray fog were eroded, interfered with, and deflected by some strange force. They were not accurate at all, and he did not know where they were shot.
The gray fog that seemed to have a life of its own not only had the power to interfere with bullets, but it also seemed to contain the power to calm one's soul. Li Yao's bones were broken, and he was suffering from severe internal bleeding. There was no part of his body that did not hurt. Under the shroud of the gray fog, a cool feeling gushed out of his body. His hot and restless soul also calmed down, and he gradually fell into a peaceful and peaceful sleep.
Before he completely passed out, he only heard the hunter's angry roar and Daniel Zhang's sharp scream.
…
This was the second time Li Yao had passed out in just half a day.
Similarly, he had the weird, unpredictable, and inexplicable dream again. It was not a galactic tyrannosaurus rex or anything, but he was living in a bustling metropolis on Earth. He was lost, resisted, struggled, and even fell.
No. Not just one metropolis on Earth, but quite a few different cities and villages. He seemed to have experienced quite a few different lives with different identities. Were they all his … previous lives?
However, in every memory of his previous life, there was a gargantuan silver balloon following him not far away, pulled by a thin, long rope that was extended from the back of his head. Every time he looked back, he would see his image on the surface of the silver balloon that was twisted like a mirror.
Who am I?
Am I … Li Yao?
If I am really Li Yao, which Li Yao am I exactly?
What is my destiny exactly? Is it the 'Vulture Plan', or —
Looking at his distorted self in the silver white balloon, he shuddered and woke up.
…
"Beep … Beep … Beep … Beep …"
The clean room, the smell of disinfectant, and the beeping of the medical equipment next to him all made him feel strangely peaceful.
Li Yao observed his surroundings and found that he was lying on a special bed with infusion tubes and wires of unknown purpose wrapped around his body. Although the medical equipment around the bed was not as advanced as the "medical cabin" in "40,000 Years of Cultivation", it was far more advanced than the rescue equipment Li Yao had seen in ordinary hospitals.
He listened carefully. The slight shivering of the 'ward' and the feeble noises from below immediately made Li Yao realize that he was probably not in a fixed building but in a 'mobile hospital' that had been modified from a container truck and was running on a certain highway at this moment.
"You're awake?"
A low and gentle voice came from the corner. "How do you feel?"
The person did not hide her presence. Li Yao struggled to raise his head and found that the speaker was the "Lady of Gray Fog" who had appeared in the morgue.
The Awakened seemed to have a habit of using their abilities as code names. Thinking of the weird gray fog that appeared when the hunter killed him, Li Yao knew who had saved him.
Also, he had lied to the Lady of Gray Fog in the morgue once, so she must have been alerted. It was unnecessary to pretend to be unconscious again.
"I feel good."
Li Yao took a deep breath, only to discover that there was not a single shrapnel left inside his body. His joints and his internal organs did not seem to have been wounded at all, as if the memory of him being shot was just an illusion. He simply sat up and looked at his muscles that were particularly plump under the nourishment of all kinds of drugs and nutrition liquids. "What drugs did you give me?"
"That's a good question."
