Chapter 353 Rune [Five]

The walls of the manor are tall and thick, made of solid bricks and stones.

There was also a circle of sharp rusty barbed wire wrapped around it.

The lights inside are bright, and the place is clean and tidy. Compared to the dirty and messy survivors' homes outside, it is like two completely different worlds.

At the gate of the manor, two guards were leaning lazily against the wall.

The weapons in their hands were also placed casually on the side. They should have been paying attention to any movement around the manor, but at this moment they looked exhausted.

After all, this is the time when people feel most sleepy.

The two didn't care about this.

After all, with the chief here, who would risk their life to break into this manor?

"Lao Zhang, you keep watching for now. I have a stomachache. I need to go to the toilet."

A man with a hideous scar on his face covered his stomach and spoke to his companion.

"Okay, okay, you're the only one who has a lot to do, go and come back quickly!"

The guard called Lao Zhang waved his hands impatiently.

The scarred man chuckled and turned to walk towards the toilet outside.

--call!

In an instant.

A gust of night wind whistled past, probably because it had just rained.

Suddenly I felt a chill that seemed to penetrate my bones, making me shiver uncontrollably.

front.

The scarred man had just taken a few steps when he suddenly stopped and stood still.

Seeing this, Lao Zhang couldn't help but frown and shouted.

"What are you dithering about?"

Due to the distance and the lateness of the night, he could only barely see the other person's back with the dim light coming from the manor.

then.

The words fell.

The other party seemed not to hear it.

There was no response.

See this.

The man named Lao Zhang felt something in his heart.

Stand up.

Walk towards Scarface.

He came behind the other person and patted him on the shoulder.

"you……"

He had just said one word when his movements paused.

next moment.

boom!
In front of him, the scarred man who was standing with his back to him fell straight to the ground.

See this.

Old Zhang's face changed drastically.

However, before he could shout out.

puff!
In an instant, a sharp pain struck my forehead like lightning.

The whole person seemed to be hit hard by an invisible force and fell directly to the ground.

Just when consciousness was about to fade away.

I saw a blurry figure walking out of the darkness ahead.

Hu Qi calmly glanced at the two people who had no signs of life.

I saw that a piece of iron appeared on the foreheads of the two men at some point.

He bent down and took a gun from one of them.

Followed by.

He raised his legs and walked straight into the manor.

This is a spacious courtyard.

There is a road paved with bluestone in the middle.

A road leads straight to the main building of the manor.

On both sides of the road, all kinds of flowers, plants and trees are lush and green. In this wasteland-like environment, every plant is particularly precious.

Perhaps because night had fallen, the number of guards at this time had decreased compared to the daytime, and there were only two people guarding here.

But if you think about it, this makes sense.

After all, in this world, the evolvers possess extraordinary power, and the so-called guards are more of a warning.

Once you really encounter an enemy, you will ultimately have to rely on your own strength.

……

The manor covers a considerable area and has everything you need, including a garden, a swimming pool, and even a huge vegetable shed.

Various vegetables and fruits are grown there.

The main building has three floors.

now.

In the master bedroom on the third floor, a huge bed occupies a prominent position in the room.

The bed was covered with soft sheets and thick quilts.

On the side of the bed.

There is a huge floor-to-ceiling window embedded in it. If you lie on this bed, you can have a panoramic view of the scene of the gathering place outside.

But at this moment, the curtains have been drawn.

inside the room.

The bed shook slightly and the quilt fluttered with it.

A series of lascivious sounds echoed in the air.

This situation lasted for nearly an hour.

suddenly.

Accompanied by a suppressed growl and a few subtle gasps from women, the room gradually fell into silence.

A man slowly poked his head out from under the quilt, his chest heaving violently as he gasped heavily.

What was strange was that the skin on his face was as black and rough as charcoal, covered with pits, as if it had been burned by fire, and looked extremely ugly.

However, his body was extremely strong, with well-defined muscles.

When his arms were spread out, three completely different faces appeared quietly.

Cool, pure and charming.

The looks of these three women are unique, and stand out in this world environment.

Different from the ordinary survivors who are hungry, pale and have sallow skin.

The skin of these three people is surprisingly fair, delicate and well maintained.

At this moment, their faces were flushed, they were sweating profusely, and their originally neat hair was now messy and stuck to their faces.

They snuggled up to the man's chest affectionately, seemingly ignoring his terrifying face. Their eyes were full of admiration as they whispered softly:

"My Lord, you are truly amazing!"

“It’s almost unbearable…”

Hearing these compliments, the corners of the man's mouth slightly raised, and he reached out to take the black iron mask placed on the side.

When you are ready to put it on your face.

suddenly!

He seemed to have noticed something and suddenly raised his head to look to the side.

I saw a blurry figure standing quietly in the light behind the tightly closed floor-length curtains.

The moment his eyes met.

boom! boom……

Intensive gunfire suddenly rang out.

Almost at the same time.

"Crash!!"

The sound of glass breaking resounded throughout the house, and a large hole instantly appeared on the curtain.

Bright red blood splashed on it, making a mess.

"---ah!"

Several short and sharp screams of fear suddenly rang out in the house.

Bang!
next moment.

The man suddenly jumped up from the bed, quickly protected his head with both hands, and rushed towards the window like an angry beast.

boom!
Just heard a loud noise.

The ugly man crashed through the floor-to-ceiling window on the third floor and fell heavily into the courtyard.

The ground paved with bluestone, under the influence of the huge impact force, suddenly cracked evenly into several hideous cracks.

Tick ​​tock!Tick ​​tock!
Drops of bright red blood seeped out and dripped onto the ground.

Feeling the pain on my face.

The man stroked his face with his hand, and his palm was stained with blood.

He looked at his own face reflected in the glass on the side.

I saw that there were several tiny iron beads inlaid on his face and body.

However, these iron beads only broke his outermost layer of skin and were blocked without hurting his muscles.

However, after seeing this scene.

The man seemed to have received some great stimulation, his eyes were bloodshot and filled with terrifying murderous intent.

His eyes looked straight at Hu Qi in front of him.

"My face, you damned bastard. No matter who you are, I will skin you alive, plant grass on you, pull out your tendons and remove your bones. I will make you pay for daring to attack me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, strange changes occurred around him.

The originally normal skin instantly turned blue-black, and under the light, the surface of the body shone like metal.

The nearly 1.9-meter-tall body suddenly expanded to 2.56 meters. From a distance, it looked like an upright black bear.

The iron beads embedded in the face and body fell off due to the swelling of the facial muscles, making a slight sound when they hit the ground.

Witness this scene.

Hu Qi's eyes flashed slightly, and the information about this person that he learned from Lu Shan quickly emerged in his mind.

The leader of the Rotten Leaf Gathering, whose real name is unknown.

Because he is accustomed to using brute force to tear and smash people into pieces, his methods are bloody and cruel, and his defense is amazing, so he is called the "Iron Bear".

At this moment, this title seems to be appropriate.

At this moment, a low roar sounded, and Iron Bear was like a car out of control.

Raise your fist as big as a sandbag.

It was accompanied by a fierce gust of wind and rushed forward with unstoppable force.

Wherever he passed, he left behind a series of clearly visible cracked footprints on the ground.

Faced with this fierce attack, Hu Qi's eyes moved slightly.

Did not choose to dodge.

He raised his hand and gathered his energy, letting his qi and blood surge in his body, then he punched out fiercely.

See this.

The terrifying and ferocious look on Tiexiong's face became even more intense.

Anyone who dares to fight him is seeking his own death.

He seemed to have seen the scene of the other person's head being blown up by his punch.

Bang!
The two fists collided heavily, the ground shook slightly, and the bluestone fragments under their feet shot out in all directions like hidden weapons, hitting the walls of the manor, making crackling sounds.

The originally ferocious expression on Tiexiong's face froze in an instant.

At the moment the two fists touched.

A reactionary force like a tidal wave came over him, and he stumbled backwards involuntarily.

"You...you are also an evolver? Are you from the Thorn Gathering Area or the Stone Hill Gathering Area?"

He raised his head and looked at Hu Qi, his eyes full of shock.

Hu Qi also took several steps back.

But he ignored it.

Instead, she raised her head and looked at him with a hint of interest in her eyes.

That look was as if he had seen something interesting.

"It's quite interesting. It's comparable to the physical defense of a martial artist, but the strength and reaction seem to be a little lacking..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he directly activated the ball of energy and blood condensed in his chest.

The skin on his body quickly turned red. His body seemed to expand as well, reaching a height of two meters, and his arms became particularly strong, like a giant ape.

Swish!
Hu Qi raised his heels and stood on his toes.

A circle of tiny air ripples exploded and spread out.

His figure turned into an afterimage and suddenly disappeared from the spot.

When he appeared again, he was already close to Tiexiong.

The palm was slightly raised, forming a knife shape, surrounded by traces of qi and blood.

It struck down with a loud bang.

Hu Qi is too fast.

Tiexiong had no time to dodge.

I could only raise my hands to block it in front of my eyes.

Bang!
A dull sound like the clanging of fine iron suddenly exploded in the courtyard.

Iron Bear's body trembled, and the ground under his feet was affected by the huge force, suddenly breaking and collapsing.

"It's a good power, but it's useless to me..."

Iron Bear grinned.

However, he hasn't finished speaking yet.

A whip kick, like an afterimage, hit him directly in the face, causing his head to tilt back and he almost fell to the ground.

The next second, Hu Qi's violent attack came violently.

Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
……

Hu Qi's arms seemed to turn into afterimages, constantly bombarding the Iron Bear.

He said nothing, just kept punching.

Dull explosions echoed here.

Although the Iron Bear has strong defense, it is not fast due to its large size.

Faced with this kind of attack, all one could do was stand there and roar helplessly in rage.

Let Hu Qi continue to attack.

Ten seconds later.

Hu Qi's figure was shaken away.

Landed steadily on the wall on one side.

The originally reddish color of the skin faded, and wisps of white smoke seeped out from the pores.

The originally violent aura quickly dropped.

"What? You can't bear it anymore? Come on, keep going. Are you tickling me?"

Tiexiong lowered his arms, his eyes red.

His clothes were torn, but other than that, he had no other injuries.

On the other hand, there were some broken skin and redness on the surface of Hu Qi's fist, and traces of blood were dripping down his palm.

However, standing there and being beaten like a sandbag had accumulated the rage in his heart to the extreme.

He is waiting for an opportunity.

The opponent should be an evolver with a speed oriented tendency, and it seems that he is using some special method unknown to him to increase his speed.

However, it seems that it has reached its limit now.

"is it?"

Hu Qi just looked at him calmly.

This kind of look, as if looking at a dead person, made Tiexiong feel extremely uncomfortable.

at this time.

There was a noise coming from the distant night.

Apparently the noise here was too loud, attracting the attention of the guards of the nearby rotten leaf gathering area and the hunting team.

See it!

Tiexiong shook his neck.

The grim smile on his face became even more severe.

"I hope you won't kneel down and beg me later, I will...uh..."

He was mid-sentence.

But he suddenly stopped, and his strong body like a black bear staggered and half-knelt on the ground.

Followed by.

He opened his mouth and vomited blood.

His face turned as pale as paper in an instant.

"What... did you... do to me..."

Tiexiong spoke with difficulty, his words were intermittent, and every word seemed to have exhausted all his strength.

A large amount of blood gushed out from his seven orifices and pores, quickly soaking his entire body, turning him into a bloody man. The scene was horrifying.

He clearly felt an unprecedented sense of exhaustion and weakness, as if every bit of strength in his body had been drained away.

Every muscle and every internal organ in the body groaned in pain from being overwhelmed.

The originally tall and strong body now shrank rapidly like a deflated ball.

The dark blue skin, which looked like steel, gradually returned to its normal appearance.

At this moment, he didn't even have the strength to stand up. He collapsed to the ground, looking miserable.

"Sure enough, it's just a layer of seemingly hard membrane.

Although my internal organs, muscles, and bones are stronger than those of ordinary people, they are still very limited. Otherwise, how could my reaction speed be so slow..."

Hu Qi ignored Tiexiong's question, and a hint of thought flashed in his eyes.

Just now, I realized that this person's defense is comparable to that of a martial artist.

Understand that it is difficult to break it head-on.

Therefore, he used the fighting technique of hitting the bull from behind the mountain and injected a large amount of force into the opponent's body.

When these forces reach a certain spiritual point in the body, they explode.

The damage caused would be devastating, destroying all the opponent's power to resist in an instant if he hadn't held back.

At this moment, Tiexiong was probably dead on the spot.

Tread...  

Just then, a burst of dense and rapid footsteps came from afar.

The people who came were none other than the guards and hunting team members of the Rotten Leaf Gathering Area.

There were more than thirty of them, all of them strong and sturdy, holding guns in their hands and looking alert.

Just now outside, they had discovered the bodies of two of their companions and knew that someone must have sneaked into the manor.

At this moment, when seeing the tragic scene in the manor, everyone's expressions froze, their eyes filled with shock and fear.

"Kill...kill him!"

Seeing this, Tie Xiong, who was standing by, tried to support his shaky body and roared orders at the top of his lungs.

After hearing this, everyone realized that the disheveled figure covered in blood was actually their usually powerful and invincible leader.

For a moment, some people looked hesitant and did not dare to act rashly.

After all, the leader was so powerful but he was beaten into this state. The man in front of them was at least an evolver. How could they dare to go up to him?

However, there were also some people who were intimidated by Tiexiong's daily majesty and did not dare to disobey his orders.

Liu Guang is one of them.

After seeing Hu Qi, he felt somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember what it was for a moment.

Now, hearing Tiexiong's order, as the chief guard of the Rotten Leaf Gathering Area who is deeply trusted by Tiexiong, the treatment and resources he enjoys on a daily basis are far beyond those of ordinary guards and hunting team members.

He knew in his heart that everything he had now depended on Tiexiong.

If anything happens to Tiexiong, he will lose everything he has.

Therefore, he just roared.

"Brothers, what are you waiting for? Go ahead and kill him!"

After his encouragement, three or four people behind him also pulled the bolts of their guns, raised their guns and pointed them at Hu Qi, and pulled the triggers without hesitation.

boom!boom!boom! ...

Fire splattered.

Under the thrust of the gunpowder in the barrel, iron balls shot towards Hu Qi like meteors, piercing through his figure, hitting the ground, and splashing out dense pits.

Hu Qi's figure had disappeared at some point, leaving only a residual shadow.

puff!
next second.

Liu Guang, who was standing at the front, felt as if his head had been hit by a heavy hammer.

The whole person flew out like a kite with a broken string and hit the wall heavily.

When he landed, his neck was strangely twisted 180 degrees, with the back of his head pressed tightly against his neck, and he died on the spot.

The other few people who shot at Hu Qi suffered the same fate. Their necks were broken in an instant, their bodies twitched twice, and then they became motionless.

Hu Qi's figure appeared again. He looked at the remaining people indifferently and asked lightly.

"Do you want to die or live?"

Seeing this scene, the remaining twenty or so men were suddenly shocked.

Then they reacted quickly and realized that there was hope for survival.

Then, everyone fell to their knees with a plop, and shouted one after another.

"We want to live! We want to live!"

"Sir, spare your life!"

"It's all this damn Liu Guang's fault. It has nothing to do with us!"

Hu Qi ignored these people and turned his eyes to the first person who knelt down. He was a thin man who looked to be in his thirties.

He wore a pair of worn goggles around his neck, and his wine-red eyes were shrewd.

Under the high nose bridge, the cracked lips were tightly pursed.

Obviously very nervous.

"What's your name?"

Hu Qi asked.

"Your Excellency, my name is Tong Chang."

The man quickly replied respectfully.

"Very good, from now on, you will take over Liu Guang's position.

Everyone else performed their duties and carried out their business as usual.

As for me, I am the leader here, do you have any objections?"

Hu Qi looked at everyone with sharp eyes.

"We are willing to follow the leader till death, always at his side, even if it means death!"

Everyone immediately shouted in unison.

At the same time, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in my heart.

It looks like their lives are saved.

As for objections, what a joke! Didn’t they see that the body on the ground was still warm? What opinions could they have?
No one felt uncomfortable with this act of defection.

In this world, the most important thing is to survive first.

In the face of an irresistible existence, obedience is the most normal thing to do.

People like that who are stubborn would have died long ago.

aside.

Tong Chang was even more delighted, he didn't expect that he could turn a disaster into a blessing.

He said quickly.

"Thank you, sir!"

"Well, you guys clean this place up."

Hu Qi ordered casually.

Then he found a chair and sat down to wait.

Soon, these people began to clean up the traces on the ground.

Iron Bear on the ground could only watch the scene with bloodshot eyes.

Because of the serious internal injuries in his body, he even had trouble speaking, so naturally he couldn't do anything.

"Hiss, it hurts. What are you doing? Bandage my wound quickly!"

"Let go of me, you dirty hands!"

"How dare you treat us like this? When we see the chief, I will make him skin you alive!"

At this time.

Several sharp and piercing noises came from inside the gate.

Soon, three disheveled figures with long hair and thin clothes were carried out.
