Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 227 Superpowered Individuals

What the hell!

The scene before him felt like an alarm clock had been thrown into a zombie apocalypse, and Li Wei was a little terrified. And look at how strange these friends of his were!
Some transformed directly into rock giants four or five meters tall, some became fire men, some suddenly grew barbs all over their bodies, and some were shrouded in cold air, looking like ice archers. As for those covered in hard scales like alien crocodiles, those with horns on their heads, tails on their bodies, ears that turned into rabbits, ears that turned into cats, and those covered in hair like werewolves, they were all different and varied!

The five superhumans I'd met a couple of days ago were among them, and the leader immediately shouted.

"Gentlemen, gentlemen! Please calm down, these are our own people, our own people!"

"Our own people? Ha! I thought some ignorant mutant beast had come to give me a taste of the good life!"

"Hey, these gentlemen look unfamiliar. Aren't they the wilderness mercenaries from our Blazing Flame Territory? We mustn't let those pretentious and weak naturalists sneak in."

"Yes, yes, yes, Darv said it: survival of the fittest. The era of natural humans is over, now is the era of us superhumans!"

"Wait, what are they wearing? It looks like ancient armor, it's hilarious—"

"What a joke! If you're so ignorant, don't talk nonsense. These guys probably got lucky and found a secret vault. It's said to contain magical equipment. I heard that someone opened one at the end of the sea and it was full of powerful elixirs, scrolls, and equipment!"

……

Suddenly, the place seemed to have turned into a vegetable market, with all sorts of voices clashing together. What does this mean? Don't you have a leader?

As it turned out, Li Wei was right. After the first guy shouted that they were one of their own, everyone just kept talking and talking. It was very strange. Everyone was talking at length, with different accents and random chatter. It was quite interesting.

Li Wei and the other five could only stare at each other, feeling rather strange, until Leon realized something was amiss and said, "We can't just listen; we have to join in."

However, he had only uttered half a word when the surroundings instantly fell silent. All the superhumans who had been talking so enthusiastically suddenly stopped talking, and their heads and eyes all turned to stare at Leon. The scene was too damn eerie and terrifying.

Leon was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe, thinking he had caused a disaster.

A few seconds later, the superhumans suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so hard they were slapping their thighs. One of them even shouted, "Haha, you mercenaries from the Frost Territory, you really don't understand humor! You're joking!"

Leon could only manage an awkward smile. He wanted to say something more, but then the surroundings fell silent again. All the superhumans suddenly turned to look in a certain direction, probably after receiving some kind of information, and then they suddenly returned to normal.

"I said, we've gathered enough people, so let's go. Rescuing the survivors is our duty!"

One of the superhumans shouted, and immediately received many responses.

As soon as they left, the other superhumans clamored to follow. But interestingly, once one of them said a sentence, it was as if a floodgate had been opened, and everyone would start talking non-stop in that direction.

If you look at a single superhuman, you can't tell anything unusual. They speak in a very organized and logical way. But when there are many of them, it's as if they interfere with each other, like channels are switching randomly, which is very strange.

So, this is what makes magical zombies special?

Li Wei and his group of five followed with light steps. Perhaps because their magical radiation levels were very high, no one with superpowers tested their radiation levels.

Along the way, Li Wei would occasionally cast concerned glances at his sickly little sister, what a doting brother he is!
Actually, I just wanted to see how this expert, this master-level player, would operate.

That's right, the situation is a bit chaotic right now. Li Wei asked himself honestly, and he couldn't handle it, so he pulled this big shot in to keep things under control.

No way, no way, you see your brother fighting a bloody battle and you're completely unmoved?

Do you want to NG (make a mistake)? Do you want a serious NG?

I know you failed your cross-server mission and suffered heavy losses, so you came here to recover your losses. But now you can't recover your losses; instead, you're losing more. Well, anyone should know how to choose.

Anyway, why not give it a try?

Li Wei smiled. He had previously asked Leon to prepare two one-star agility cards for him, and he had already used the bronze-quality pass token to fuse a two-star agility card.

At crucial moments, he would activate this two-star agility card. In that case, as long as he switched to the Dog Slayer title, his total agility would reach 28 points. Although the 6 points of burden from the Noble Emblem Armor would still be deducted, this would actually greatly improve his evasion ability and running speed, especially since this time he was going to the deep mountains and forests, which was the home ground of hunters and woodcutters.

Li Wei was willing to bet that in such terrain, the effect of his 25 points of agility could even surpass that of someone with 30 points of agility.

Of course, if the other party also has the Hunter's Destiny and the Woodcutter's Destiny is at level 50, then Li Wei is out of luck.

But are there any superhumans present who are that powerful?
Mostly three stars! The few that seem to be four stars are all thick-skinned, burly, and big-boned.

In short, Li Wei had prepared for the worst, which was based on the premise that the yandere little sister would rather have a serious NG than not watch him die.

It's probably not that bad.

Even though Li Wei had already tricked her out of a five-star card.

Because if Li Wei dies and the Exploration Card is still on him, the Exploration side quest will fail and the player will be forced to leave.

Yes, the Development Card can only be transferred at the end of the month based on the family's contribution level; it cannot be transferred at other times.

As we continued our journey, the mountains became increasingly steep and the trees more lush. Fortunately, the road leading into the deep mountains was very sturdy, and although some sections had been washed away by flash floods and mudslides, it did not cause any major damage.

The superhumans moved with incredible speed, and Li Wei and his group were no less agile.

In this deep mountain forest, Li Wei actually discovered many one-star trees, and even two-star trees, with huge canopies that covered the sky and the earth, and they seemed to have mutated.

Even ordinary birds, rabbits, pheasants, and even deer can be seen in this place, which probably confirms Li Wei's guess that these deep forests have a great advantage in resisting magical radiation, because the magical radiation is absorbed by the trees? Along the way, Li Wei has found no less than several hundred one-star and two-star trees, which is an exaggerated proportion.

Moreover, you can clearly feel that the air here is exceptionally fresh, filled with a rich sense of life.

So, are there any herbs in these deep mountains and forests that can fight against the blood plague? If so, could they be made into an anti-blood plague medicine to reduce the radiation levels in the bodies of these superhumans?
At this moment, Li Wei couldn't help but look at the yandere little sister. As someone on the same level as Hathaway, do you know anything about production?

To Li Wei's slight surprise, the sickly little girl seemed to understand his meaning and shook her head slightly.

What the hell!

You can guess what I'm thinking.

Seeing a hint of panic in Li Wei's eyes, Li Yue actually smiled. "Screw you!"

Li Wei quickly calmed down. That was impossible. So there was only one possibility: Li Yue was too experienced. She only needed to observe his expressions to guess his thoughts. There were only a few possibilities.

Just then, Li Wei suddenly had a strange feeling, as if a sniper rifle was aimed at his head. The next second, he tripped and fell, pulling Li Yue down with him. The two of them rolled on the ground, and even Zhao Xuanxuan behind them fell down. Leon and Thomas quickly dodged.

But almost at the same time, a series of gunshots rang out—yes, gunshots, and they were definitely powerful, like those anti-material sniper rifles.

"Bang bang bang!"

The loud gunshots echoed through the valley, and bright red blood gushed from the heads and hearts of the superhumans walking in front.

The snipers on the other side seemed to know the weaknesses of these superhumans very well. They locked two guns on one superhuman at the same time, one to shoot the head and the other to shoot the heart.

How many heavy casualties did it take to accumulate and learn this experience!
The effect was indeed excellent.

In that short time, nearly half of the forty superhumans were killed, while the remaining half were impossible to kill.

"Roar!"

Three superhumans roared and transformed into rock giants four or five meters tall, making sniper bullets feel like tickles when they hit them.

The remaining superhumans quickly hid behind the rock giant and launched a counterattack. Some threw large fireballs, some shot ice arrows, and some transformed into beasts.

In the blink of an eye, the natural human ambushers on the opposite side also suffered casualties.

However, these natural human ambushers did not linger in battle, immediately abandoning their ambush positions and quickly retreating.

"Brothers of the natural people, we have no ill intentions. We hope you will lay down your weapons and return to the negotiating table with us. You must acknowledge that people with superpowers are the future of humanity."

"Kill, kill, kill! Divide the natural persons equally."

"Don't run away, you human, your brother will love you!"

The remaining superhumans roared and screamed, but instead of chasing after them, they frantically divided up the CPUs or GPUs of their fallen comrades.

Interestingly, these three-star superhumans do not drop universal gold cards upon death.

However, after the remaining ability users divided the GPU equally, their strength was significantly improved, with some even reaching the level of four stars, which is the level of the mutated rat king.

Now, although there are fewer people with superpowers, their strength seems to have increased.

Moreover, four-star ability users are quite artistic; some can even recite a poem on the spot.

"Charge! Charge! Charge into the mountains! Smash the Gatling guns! Save humanity!"

"I love natural people. I am a little flame. When the fire comes, you must come with me!"

It's truly indescribable.

Li Wei and his group of five followed behind, also feeling immense pressure.

Whether to take immediate action or take the opportunity to disperse, their demands are certainly not about sharing the spoils equally with the individuals, but rather about cooperating with them. They even envision these individuals living in their scavenging camps in the future, though that seems unlikely.

Because the natural beings even have cannons!
Although the diameter is not very large.

"Boom! Boom!"

One shot blasted dozens of cracks into the rock giant; one more shot would be enough to kill it.

But no, it seems that the natural person only has one cannon.

"Da da da da da!"

It was a Gatling gun, or some other heavy machine gun, firing wildly, trying to tear the rock giant apart before it could heal.

But it was all for naught. In just ten seconds, the rock giant was completely healed. Their vigorous and bizarre vitality was just that amazing.

At this moment, as the cannons opened fire, the fortress where the humans were located finally appeared.
