One punch calms the storm, no gods in the world

Chapter 148 Investigators and the Demon Suppression Army

The instructor of the team involved in the accident immediately organized the trainees to take the injured down for treatment, and the chief instructor quickly ran up to Zhang Haowu and saluted.

"General Zhang, thank you for your help."

Zhang Haowu dropped the tail in his hand, clapped his hands and said, "It's just a small matter."

At this time, Suti also came over and took a look at the bloody corpse on the ground: "This is a demon transformation, this is the first time I have seen it."

Although he had seen people transformed into monsters, this was the first time Suti had seen a person of the bloodline transform into a monster.

This scene was somewhat similar to the one at the underground auction where the transformed demon revealed his demon form.

Zhang Haowu shook his head.

"You'll get used to it after seeing it more often." Then he said to the chief instructor, "Let me introduce you to my new colleague, Level 4 Investigator Su Xiu."

The chief instructor who was standing nearby was also in awe when he heard this and saluted again.

"You must be the general-level expert who has just joined our bureau. I have heard a lot about you. I am Xiao Ming, the chief instructor on the second floor, responsible for training the first batch of students."

"Hello."

Su Ti glanced at the instructors and trainees who were starting the training as if they were used to it, and asked Xiao Ming.

"Is the phenomenon of demon transformation common in the bureau? I don't think you are surprised."

Xiao Ming was silent for a moment and said.

"I guess so, especially the first batch of students I taught. Because they were all ordinary people before, their willpower was not strong, and the probability of them turning into monsters was also very high. On average, it happened about five times a month."

Su Ti's heart trembled.

"Five times a month, that's thirty times in half a year. You have 150 students here, and if they all receive training for half a year, then that's it."

"Yes, the mortality rate is as high as one in five, which is higher than the mortality rate of the most elite special forces in the country."

Xiao Ming said in a deep voice.

"However, we can only do this. Although there is a one-fifth mortality rate for those who have awakened their bloodlines after scientific training, four-fifths of them will eventually be able to successfully control their bloodlines through training. Without training, almost two-thirds of the awakened people will not be able to control their bloodlines within a year and will undergo a transformation, becoming demons hidden among the crowd and endangering society."

"so much."

Su Ti was also shocked when he heard this ratio, and Xiao Ming nodded.

"So our workload is huge. Eradicating the demon-transformers hiding among the crowd has taken up a large part of the bureau's energy. Although there are some civilian demon-hunting organizations that help, it is still a drop in the bucket, especially in recent years, the number of demon-transformers has been on the rise."

After Xiao Ming said a few words, he took the initiative to leave, and Zhang Haowu patted Su Ti on the shoulder.

"Let's go to the next floor."

After visiting the B2 floor for a while, Zhang Haowu took Su Ti to the B3 floor.

Compared with the students on the second floor below ground, the projects here have been greatly improved.

From the initial physical training, by the third level, they have begun to teach training in cold weapons, fighting techniques, shooting and target practice, etc.

Simply put, the second floor below ground is for training new recruits, while the third floor below ground is for teaching practical killing techniques.

While Zhang Haowu was taking Su Ti to visit a shooting range, the sound of gunfire continued to be heard. Students were shooting at the shooting range with rifles that were obviously one size larger than ordinary rifles. A one-to-one human-shaped target made of pure steel was torn to pieces by two students in less than twenty seconds.

Zhang Haowu spoke.

"Don't underestimate firearms. These trained soldier-level investigators armed with special rifles are very threatening even to general-level warriors. Take the general armor on me for example. Facing our Xia's special B72 anti-monster rifle, five bullets can easily blow it up."

"Once the general's armor is blown up, his body will not be able to withstand the power of the bullet. If it hits a vital point, one shot will be enough to kill him."

Su Ti also agreed deeply when he saw this scene. It is undeniable that the armor on the general-level warrior is indeed very hard. Even the strength of his fifteenth level of external training can only be compared with the armor of a first-level general warrior. However, if he despises modern firepower based on this, he would be very wrong.

You have to know why the world is now undercurrent, but still ruled by humans on the surface. The reason is ultimately due to the power of modern thermal weapons.

Talking about the topic of firearms and hot weapons, Zhang Haowu said again.

"In addition to ordinary investigators, our provincial bureau also has a most elite direct-affiliated unit, the Demon Suppression Army, which is composed of these trained soldier-level bloodlines. They are equipped with the most advanced weapons and equipment, such as heavy machine guns that normal people cannot carry, Vulcan cannons, and explosion-proof armor weighing hundreds of kilograms. They can all be hung on their bodies. They can be said to be the trump card force of our provincial bureau."

"but."

Zhang Haowu changed the subject.

"Although this force is powerful, it is rarely deployed in order to consider the impact. Usually, we investigators are responsible for dealing with some demons and evil spirits that endanger public security."

"To put it simply, our investigators are the detectives of the surface world, responsible for maintaining social order, while the demon-suppressing army is the army of the surface world. They will not be deployed until the critical moment. Once they are deployed, it is either war or armed suppression at the critical moment of the crisis."

Su Ti nodded slightly, and then followed Zhang Haowu to the fourth underground floor.

There are even fewer students on the negative fourth floor, less than thirty, and each of them is almost at the level of a second-level soldier. Their training intensity is even higher. Su Ti took a look and found that the training subjects are roughly divided into two major categories: cold weapons and hot weapons.

"The students who come here will have two choices: join the demon-suppressing army or the investigator department. After establishing their department, they will learn the corresponding skills here until they can pass the assessment and graduate."

Zhang Haowu explained: "Generally speaking, investigators will choose cold weapons as their fighting method, because they are hunting monsters in the city, and the battles that occur are not suitable for using hot weapons, which will cause panic among the people, so they all use long swords that are easy to carry, or folding bows as their weapons."

"Investigators will learn many skills here, including but not limited to tracking, anti-tracking, weapon combat, monster identification, evil spirit identification, knowledge of various evil forces in the Shia region, first aid, torture, and so on."

He glanced at Su Ti and said, "Brother Su, if you have time, I suggest that you come and learn some theoretical knowledge in this area. Although you are very powerful, you were originally from the ancient martial arts circle. If you rashly join the secret world, you will need some adaptation."

"Actually, I want to go to class now." Suti said.

"Hahaha, no hurry, no hurry, it's still early, I'll show you around."

Next, Zhang Haowu took Su Ti to visit the fourth floor, and then went down to the fifth floor.

The fifth floor is very peculiar. Most of the areas are not open to the public. But in the small areas that are open to the public, Su Ti saw Wang Lin, Ding Tao, and Zhou Xiong, three people with whom he had fought before.

The three of them, along with several other trainees that Suti didn't know, were wearing thick protective clothing and doing confrontational combat training.

"On the fifth floor, only the most outstanding soldiers of the third level can come. It is also the place where we train generals."

"How do you train a general-level warrior? I heard that a general-level warrior doesn't just have bloodline, he also needs corresponding general-level skills to become one."

Su Ti became interested. He remembered what Lu Qingfeng had told him, that a general-level warrior not only needed bloodline, but also needed general-level skills to regulate the bloodline.

Zhang Haowu laughed.

"You are right. In ancient times, every general-level warrior had a corresponding general-level technique and a great demon bloodline. If the demon bloodline absorbed was not strong or the technique was not available, it would be impossible to reach the general level."

"Even most of our current general-level warriors are from various bloodline families. They have a complete inheritance of general-level skills. In addition, they have strong bloodlines and strong talents, so they can be promoted to the general level."

"Even if ordinary people awaken a powerful bloodline, they can only reach the third level of soldier level, because they do not have a general-level technique that matches their bloodline. They cannot reconcile the human-demon bloodline and become a general-level warrior."

“If you force yourself to break through to the general level, without the general-level skills to harmonize your bloodline, your demon bloodline will eventually overwhelm your human bloodline, and you will end up turning into a monster.”

Su Ti said: "That is to say, those who do not have a general-level technique can only break through to the general level by force, and they can only transform into monsters. Then, can they reach the general level after the transformation?"

Zhang Haowu sighed and said, "This is the most terrifying part. After the transformation, one can be promoted to the general level without any skills."

Having said that, Zhang Haowu began to explain to Su Ti.

Ancient martial arts are martial arts that imitate the martial arts of monsters and steal the blood of monsters.

The rank of general was not created by humans, but was a natural rank among monsters, and was later named "general" by humans.

It is very simple for a monster to reach the level of a general. Once a life crystal called the 'monster core' is condensed in the body, the monster can reach the level of a general. At the same time, a light red film is generated on the surface of the body, called the monster film, which is like a 360-degree shield with no blind spots to protect itself.

However, through modern scientific research, it is found that this demon membrane is a kind of self-protection force field produced when life reaches a certain level. The source is the "demon core" formed by demons.

This kind of life self-protection force field is just like humans have skin and animals have fur and scales. The demon membrane itself is a self-protection mechanism of demons. After reaching the general level, life enters a new level and is stimulated.

After talking about the monster generals, let’s talk about humans.

Humans steal the blood of monsters, and suppress the monster blood through the use of advanced skills. Once they reach the general level, they can condense a heart core that is like a monster core.

There is actually no essential difference between the heart core and the demon core. Both are crystallizations of life energy. The only difference is that the heart core contains human blood, which allows people to retain their humanity rather than becoming cruel and bloodthirsty demons.

Similarly, because of the concentration of human blood in the heart core, and the particularity of the general-level skills, the life field of human general-level warriors is different from the demon membrane of demons.

The human life force field is called the general armor. Because it involves human blood, it is easier to manipulate and shape than the demon membrane. Because of the difference in the general-level skills, the shaping of the general armor is also different, which makes the human general armor have a variety of strange abilities. The general armor of various schools and factions have a variety of abilities, but the demon membrane of the demon has only the simplest defensive ability.

From this we can see that although general-level warriors have achieved the general level by stealing the blood of demons, humans are actually superior to demons in the use of life force fields.

But every advantage has its disadvantages. Although monsters are not as versatile as humans in using life force fields, their physiques are stronger than humans, and the most important point is
"Demons don't need to practice any techniques. As their strength increases, they can naturally reach the general level. This is the advantage of their bloodline and a process of life."

Zhang Hao martial arts.

"But bloodline users need a general-level technique that corresponds to their bloodline in order to reach the general level. This is because different bloodlines have different specific methods of harmonizing bloodlines and cultivating into general armor."

"But once the demon blood in the body completely devours the human blood and completes the transformation, there is no need to harmonize the blood and cultivate the complex operations of general armor. You can directly condense the demon core according to the demon instinct and become a general. Although it is a demon general, the body is covered with a demon membrane, but it is still a general. Moreover, demon generals are generally stronger than human generals because their physical fitness is stronger than that of humans."

After Zhang Haowu explained, he continued.

"Ever since the Shenwu Sect was disintegrated into bloodline families and the ancient martial arts were transformed into secret martial arts, although the ancient martial arts have been passed down in another form, there has been almost no new things in the past seven hundred years."

"The family bloodline system has completely ruined the exchange of martial arts, and the inheritance of secret martial arts does not require exchange. This is a purely closed and backward martial art without any innovation."

Zhang Haowu seemed to hate Miwu very much and criticized him without hesitation in his words, but then he changed the subject.

"However, in this world, there are always some geniuses who break the rules, just like Su Ge Ni, who reached the level of a general with the ancient martial arts of a soldier, breaking the rules and shocking the world."

"It's also like Bai Chengdao, the top expert of the Zhongjing Bureau. He collected martial arts from all the aristocratic families in Xia and led his team to study for ten years. He finally broke the bloodline shackles of ancient martial arts that had existed for thousands of years and created six general-level martial arts that anyone with any bloodline can practice."

Su Ti didn't care about Zhang Haowu's praise, but cared about something else.

"Bai Chengdao? A general-level martial art that ignores bloodlines and can be practiced by anyone with bloodline?"

"Ah."

Zhang Haowu nodded.

"These six martial arts are known as the Six Martial Arts of Shia, and are the national treasures of Shia."

"It is precisely because of these six martial arts that we, Xia, have been able to gain a foothold in the secret world. We can continuously recruit newly awakened bloodline people, train them, teach them these six martial arts, and continuously train general-level strongmen."
