One punch calms the storm, no gods in the world

Chapter 147 Price
"Brother Su, judging from your complexion, you have recovered well."

Zhang Haowu, wearing a black short-sleeved vest and military shorts, stood at the gate and greeted Suti.

His tone was enthusiastic, and although he was obviously older than Suti, he didn't feel embarrassed at all to call the other brother.

In the secret world, the strong are respected. Suti is stronger than him, so he deserves his respect.

Su Ti was not surprised at all. He just opened his mouth to address the other party but was interrupted.

"Just call me Haowu, Brother Su."

Zhang Haowu laughed and led the way. Su Ti looked at his thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his enthusiastic face, and his impression of Zhang Haowu changed again.

Before, Zhang Haowu gave him the impression of a battle maniac, but now he didn't expect that he was so knowledgeable about the ways of the world.

Led by Zhang Haowu, the two men walked into the bureau. In a lounge, they sat opposite each other with tea on the table. Zhang Haowu spoke.

"Brother Su, after you fought me last time, I have been thinking about our fight these past few days. The more I think about it, the more I feel that you are a monster. Putting aside your boxing skills that can launch mental attacks, you used pure physical strength to blast my four-arm diamond armor. How did you train?"

He asked this question out of curiosity not only for himself, but also for the provincial bureau behind him.

After all, Su Ti is an ancient warrior who has not reached the general level but is comparable to a demoted monster. Anyone who sees him will be curious and suspicious.

In fact, after Suti revealed his strength as a general, his information and various intelligence agencies have been investigated many times. A general is already the highest level of combat power among the three types of agencies, and we must be cautious.

Suti knew that he had to answer this question and he had to dispel the provincial bureau's doubts.

"I should be considered a special case, because I have attained Buddhahood, and my strength is stronger than that of ordinary extraordinary warriors. In addition, my physique may be quite special, and I can practice multiple extraordinary martial arts at the same time, so my extraordinary transformation will be stronger than that of ordinary extraordinary warriors."

Suti said truthfully.

There is no need to hide such things. The more you hide them, the more others will think you have a secret. It is better to speak out openly.

"In fact, I can see that you do have traces of many extraordinary martial arts."

"At first I didn't believe that there was anyone in this world who could successfully practice multiple extraordinary martial arts without exploding and dying, but after meeting you, my worldview has indeed been refreshed.
Zhang Haowu laughed and then said.

"But you can rest assured. With your special physique that can be compatible with the blood of many kinds of monsters, the higher-ups will at most ask you for some blood for research. They will definitely not treat you as a guinea pig and slice you up for research. I promise you that."

It certainly wouldn’t happen, Su Ti thought to himself. If it did, his sixth sense would have already sounded the alarm.

Speaking of the topic of research on mice, Zhang Haowu curled his lips.

"In fact, in modern times, in order to study the mysteries of blood, everyone's blood has been sent to the laboratory for research. In addition, in order to prevent people from becoming demons, the current rule in the bureau is to draw blood every three days. Everyone who has just joined the third-class bureau is not used to this and will be wary. They always think that their blood is special and they will be sent for some slice research experiment. In fact, they are overthinking."

"Basically, what biological science can study now can be studied by drawing some blood or taking some tissue samples. What cannot be studied cannot be studied even if the whole person is dissected."

He said this to dispel Suti's concerns. Not only Suti, but every bloodline person who has just joined the third category bureau will have this sense of insecurity, fearing that the country will slice them up for research.

After saying that, Zhang Haowu stood up.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. You've been in the bureau for two days and have been recovering from your injuries. You haven't had a good look around our provincial bureau. Today, I will take you on a tour of the bureau and show you our training methods and personnel structure. You are now a senior executive of our Nanjiang Provincial Bureau, so you must know these things."

Suti nodded. He was actually somewhat curious about the personnel structure and training methods of the Category III Bureau. He wanted to know how the internal operation of this official Shia agency against demons and evil spirits was.

So he followed Zhang Haowu to the elevator. Zhang Haowu swiped his ID card and pressed the button for the negative 2nd floor. Suti noticed that the deepest floor was negative 5th floor, which meant that the provincial bureau had 5 floors of underground space.

The two of them quickly arrived at the underground second floor. Su Ti had already seen the underground first floor, which was filled with combat test rooms and training rooms of various sizes.

The second underground floor is completely different. It is a large flat floor the size of two football fields, supported by an excellent building structure. The place looks very open and does not feel like it is underground at all.

In the open space on the second underground floor, there is a 1.6-kilometer-long oval running track, various physical training machines, obstacle courses, etc. Many trainees in camouflage uniforms are training in this space.

They are both men and women, of different ages, some are in their teens and look like they are in the first year of high school, while others are in their forties or fifties.

The training program for these people is also very simple, which is physical training, running, obstacle course, or bench press, weightlifting, squats and other regular physical training programs in the Shia army.

However, unlike the physical training in ordinary armies, they were all covered with weights when doing these physical training. Suti saw a sixteen-year-old girl doing pull-ups with an abandoned car tied under her.

Zhang Haowu explained, hugging his chest.

"The model of our three types of bureaus is that each city bureau is responsible for collecting awakened bloodlines, sending them to the provincial bureau for unified training for one to five years, and then assigning them to positions in each city bureau according to demand to be responsible for local stability maintenance work."

"The students you see now are all awakened people sent by various cities in Nanjiang Province. They have not been awakened for too long. Their previous identities may be students, drivers, chefs, salesmen or leaders. In short, they are ordinary people who suddenly awakened their bloodlines for various reasons."

"The municipal bureaus gather them and send them to the headquarters for unified training. The purpose is to strengthen their willpower and control their blood. People on the second underground floor usually receive training here for about half a year before they can move to the third underground floor."

At this point, Zhang Haowu whispered to Su Ti, "There are also some people who use their abilities to commit crimes after awakening their bloodlines. Those with minor crimes who are likely to repent will undergo ideological transformation and be sent to the provincial bureau for training. Those with serious crimes who are unlikely to repent will be tried according to the law. After all, the purpose of our training is to train warriors who protect human safety, not a group of lawless criminals who rely on their strength."

Su Ti nodded slightly, then glanced around and saw that there were about 150 people training here. Each group of ten was led by an instructor, training in different projects.

A person who looked like the chief instructor was standing on the platform, observing with his hands behind his back.

Although according to Zhang Haowu, these people were new students who had just awakened their bloodlines, the power and speed they displayed were quite terrifying.

The lowest is the fourth level of internal training. The vast majority of them have physiques at the Hunyuan realm, and there are even dozens of them who have reached the level of extraordinary warriors, which means they have the strength and speed of a soldier.

Seeing this scene, Suti couldn't help but ask.

"How long have they awakened their bloodline?"

Zhang Hao martial arts.

"No one has been here for more than half a year. Those who have been here for more than half a year have all gone to the third level. Most of them have been here for two to three months. Look at the two new recruits. They have only been here for a few days."

Su Ti took a look and found that three of the two newcomers had reached the level of a soldier. "They are really born to be dragons. These people have such powerful strength after awakening their bloodline."

At this moment, Su Ti thought of Liang Bo, the elder who taught martial arts in Longmen. He worked diligently and practiced martial arts hard, but in the end, because he had no extraordinary medicine, he was only at the Hunyuan realm when he died.

Some people can never reach Rome even if they run all their lives, while some people are born in Rome.

"It's just the legacy of our ancestors. Without the bloodline passed down by those ancestors of the Wu Dynasty who survived many dangerous situations and reached the sixth level, we wouldn't be born with such powerful strength, or we wouldn't be able to awaken to such a powerful strength."

"Moreover... even with such a powerful force, it may not always be a good thing." Zhang Haowu sighed.

"why?"

"Because of the monster transformation."

Zhang Haowu sighed.

"Have you ever heard of this saying? A dragon slayer will eventually become a dragon. We who have seized their blood to fight against monsters will eventually become monsters as well."

Having said that, Zhang Haowu paused and spoke.

"Although I am not from a bloodline family, my father is also a bloodline person. He joined the Category III Bureau earlier than me. At that time, none of my family knew about it until something happened. That is, when I was seventeen years old, my usually kind and amiable father turned into a terrifying monster in front of everyone at the family dinner table."

"When my dad turned into a monster, our whole family was terrified, my mom, my grandparents, and me."

"And before we could react to the fact that he had turned into a monster, something else happened that was beyond our expectations. My father committed suicide."

Zhang Haowu's face was calm as he spoke, showing neither anger nor pain.

"After that, I awakened my bloodline, joined the Category III Bureau, and learned everything."

"Those with demon blood in their bodies have the possibility of transforming into a demon at any time, and when my father transformed into a demon, he used the last bit of his humanity to end his life."

Looking at Suti who had become silent, he suddenly spoke.

"Are you curious about why I can say these things so calmly?"

Suti nodded.

There was an inexplicable look in Zhang Haowu's eyes, sadness, but also pride.

"Because I'm proud of my father."

"My father joined the Third Category Investigation Administration, hiding his identity in the dark and fighting to protect humanity. Although he had demon blood flowing in his body, in the end, he fought to the last moment as a human and protected all those he was supposed to protect."

After listening to this, Su Ti was silent. At this moment, he also realized the heaviness that demon blood brings to people. The leader of the Shenwu Sect also transformed into a demon, which directly led to the destruction of the Shenwu Sect and the decline of ancient martial arts.

The bloodline of monsters is not a power that humans can fully control. It is a power that humans have to use as a last resort to fight against monsters. It is a double-edged sword.

He finally said one sentence.

"Your father is a good man."

Zhang Haowu nodded and said nothing more. The two continued chatting. During the conversation, Su asked many questions, mainly about bloodline families and generals. Zhang Haowu answered them one by one.

Just when Suti felt that he had seen enough and wanted to go to the next floor, there was a sudden noise coming from the training area.

A middle-aged student who had been running hard with weights on his back just a second ago suddenly fell to the ground with convulsions all over his body.

He was foaming at the mouth and convulsing all over.

However, the instructor on the side did not rush to rescue. Instead, he looked alert and shouted at the students around him to go away.

A young man who usually had a good relationship with the middle-aged student wanted to go over and help him, but just as he got within two meters of him, the middle-aged student, who was foaming at the mouth in the last second, hugged his calf and bit it in the next second.

"Ah!"

With a scream, the young student fell to the ground and kicked frantically to try to kick the middle-aged student away, but the other party held his thighs tightly and kept biting him.

Along with the biting, the spine on the middle-aged student's back moved as if alive, and hideous bone spurs protruded from his back. Then, with a loud bang, a long snow-white bone spur tail grew out from his tailbone, still covered with traces of blood, and stabbed wildly on the ground like a living thing.

Seeing this scene, some of the new students screamed in fear, but the old man stepped aside with experience.

The instructors put down their work, drew their weapons, and shouted "Demon transformation!" "Get out of the way!" Then they rushed towards the middle-aged student.

But there was one person who was one step ahead of them.

boom!
Just like a storm passing by, Zhang Haowu, who was watching the show with Su Ti a hundred meters away two seconds ago, appeared on the scene two seconds later.

He grabbed the middle-aged student's long bone spur tail, shook it violently, and pulled him off the victim.

Then he grabbed the tail and swung it. With a bang, the monster transformed by the middle-aged man danced in a semicircle of three meters and smashed into the ground like a meteor hammer.

Then it exploded with a loud bang into a pool of blood, and the whole person turned into a pool of meat paste like a rat rolled over by a car.

But even so, he was still not dead and was still struggling and squirming. Zhang Haowu walked over and kicked him in the head. After a bang, everything stopped.

This is just a soldier-level monster. Even if he doesn't show his armor, Zhang Haowu can kill him like killing a mouse.

When they saw Zhang Haowu taking action, the instructors who were originally running towards him stopped, saluted Zhang Haowu from a distance, and went back to continue leading the team in training.
