Ch 150: Ignorance Is Bliss

Anyone investigating, upon seeing this crowd, would instantly understand the meaning of his Red Eyes.

At this moment, a little girl in the crowd had a sudden thought, her eyes instantly flashing with a ghostly red light.

The officer didn’t notice this subtle change, casually saying:

“Alright, registration’s done, you can go now.”

After speaking, he waved his hand at the group of illiterate, speechless vagrant, turned around, and prepared to board the off-road vehicle parked nearby.

But just as he turned around, he suddenly felt a strong sense of danger approaching.

The officer’s heart suddenly pounded, his face changed drastically, and he instinctively raised his arm.

“Clang!”

His metallized arm barely blocked the strongman’s huge axe swung at his face.

After blocking this attack, the officer was stunned, as if he couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

But soon, his anger erupted like a volcano, roaring,

“Rebellious! You unrepentant fools, you dare attack Zhongzhou’s Enforcement Team?”

“Do you know who I am? If I get injured, you’ll all die without a burial place.”

Seeing the situation was not right, three other Central State soldiers quickly got out of the car to help.

A cold glint flashed in their eyes. They couldn’t understand why these vagrants had the audacity to attack their Zhongzhou Enforcement Team.

Even more unexpectedly, after hearing that they were the Zhongzhou Enforcement Team, the strongman didn’t stop his actions at all.

The strongman swung his giant axe violently, making a whooshing sound, and hacked again at the officer fiercely. Though his body was heavy, his movements were exceptionally swift.

The officer’s face changed drastically; he dodged the attack with a sidestep, angrily shouting:

“Open fire!”

Three Central State soldiers immediately raised their weapons and opened fire on the group of vagrants.

Dense bullets poured out, hitting the vagrants.

A shocking scene occurred. Although the vagrants’ bodies were hit by bullets, they still staggered towards the several people, as if they couldn’t feel the pain.

“What…what’s going on?” One of the Central State soldiers exclaimed in terror, his voice trembling.

At this time, the officer finally understood why the vagrants had so many bullet holes.

But he wasn’t afraid. With his strength as a Third-Order Awakener, after activating metallization, these vagrants wouldn’t be able to hurt him in the slightest.

Before he finished speaking, a sudden change occurred.

“Pfft.”

The officer’s eyes widened, incredulously covering his neck; blood flowed from between his fingers.

It was too fast; he didn’t even have time to metallize.

Almost simultaneously, the three soldiers behind him also suffered the same fate; their necks also had deep wounds, and blood gushed out.

A woman, her figure ghostly like a crawling spider, flashed past. Her scarlet eyes glowed with cold light, her limbs surrounded by a layer of light green wind-type psionic ability, giving her extraordinary speed.

In a flash, she had bitten their necks.

The officer immediately activated his psionic ability; his neck quickly transformed into hard metal, stopping the bleeding; the metal molecules also began to repair the wound.

He glanced back at the three soldiers who had already fallen to the ground; their bodies were still twitching slightly, clearly dying.

The officer turned back, killing intent in his eyes:

“You’re looking for death!”

His arms turned into sharp spikes; he was about to kill these reckless fools.

Suddenly, an intense dizziness swept over him, blurring his consciousness.

He was startled, secretly feeling bad:

“Poison?”

His pupils constricted, his legs went weak, and he fell to the ground, his body as if his spine had been removed, instantly losing all his strength.

As the officer fell, the crowd before him seemed to be driven by some force, moving aside simultaneously.

In the officer’s unbelievable gaze, a petite little girl walked slowly from the crowd and gently placed her small hand on the officer’s body.

In an instant, a strange red light flashed, and the officer’s body was completely transformed.

At this time, the little girl’s psionic ability infection speed was faster than before.

Obviously, her strength had improved significantly and was continuously expanding the number of people affected.

When the officer opened his eyes again, his eyes were blood-red.

He even reached out and carefully observed the changes in his body.

He seemed to retain some consciousness, and even a hint of wisdom shone in his eyes.

In contrast, the three soldiers who stood up behind him looked dull and expressionless, completely losing their ability to think and act independently.

The little girl’s psionic ability upgrade made the officer and others completely different.

After being allowed to move freely, the officer actually walked forward according to his own thoughts and picked up a dropped booklet.

He stiffly opened the booklet, pointed his trembling finger at the record inside, towards the direction of Li Yu.

“Uh…”

The officer used his hoarse voice to call out to the little girl humanely.

The little girl suddenly smiled, seeming to understand the officer’s meaning. Unexpectedly, the Li Yu she had been looking for was ahead.

The entire team, with blood-red eyes, immediately rushed towards the direction pointed out by the officer.

……

As the air defense alarm ceased abruptly, the Scout Leader outside the Zhongzhou Defense Line quickly counted the number of people.

After counting, several people were still missing.

The Scout Leader’s face instantly turned extremely gloomy. Unexpectedly, the Eternal Fire Alliance had actually started the war without warning and even launched a missile.

Most importantly, the officer who had gotten into his team through connections had just been registering nearby, but now he couldn’t be contacted.

This officer had some connections; if he were blown up in his team, the Scout Leader would definitely be held responsible.

“Haven’t you found him yet?” He anxiously asked the soldier who had just returned, his voice filled with impatience.

“No, there’s nothing found within the blast radius; even the charred remains have been checked,” the soldier answered heavily.

“Continue searching further!” The Scout Leader was disappointed, shouting loudly:

“I don’t believe such a large car can disappear into thin air.”

“Yes.”

Several soldiers answered in unison, turning to continue searching further away.

The Scout Leader anxiously tried to contact the off-road vehicle with the communicator, but still received no response. He couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

If this officer really died, his position as Scout Leader would be over.
