Great Evolution: I Exclusively Possess Earth's Six Supreme Opportunities
Chapter 35 The Petrified Crowd
Zhao Si's shrill, distorted scream sounded particularly jarring in the deathly silent valley, but it was quickly replaced by his own painful sobs.
However, nobody cared about him.
All the members of the Trail Blazers team, including their captain Shi Lei, were frozen in place, like stone sculptures that had been instantly weathered away.
Their gazes were fixed on the young man in black standing next to Zhao Si, who was slowly retracting his foot.
It was as if that person was the center of the world.
The voluptuous female team member covered her mouth tightly with both hands, her shoulders trembling violently.
Her explosive fireballs, which she was so proud of, were nothing more than a tickle to that behemoth.
And the person in front of me...
He simply extended one finger.
She couldn't even see how the other person did it.
That terrifying monster that had driven them to despair, that had forced them to watch helplessly as their comrades lay critically wounded and dying, was... just gone?
Another team member with a broken arm stared blankly at the huge headless corpse hundreds of meters away, then glanced at Su Bai's spotless trouser cuffs.
His mind was blank.
It's a mental standstill caused by witnessing something completely beyond the scope of comprehension.
Like an ant, no matter how hard it tries, it can never understand how humans can build cities that cover the entire horizon.
The gap has widened to the point that even jealousy and fear cannot arise.
All that remains is pure, unadmiring gaze.
Team leader Shi Lei was the only one who could still barely think.
But the result of his thinking made him more desperate than others.
His weathered, square face was deathly pale, and his lips moved slightly, but no sound came out.
As a retired elite of the Dragon Shield Special Forces and one of the earliest awakened individuals, his understanding of power far surpasses that of ordinary people.
He knew that, according to their preliminary calculations, the giant pangolin's defensive capabilities were sufficient to withstand armor-piercing rounds from a main battle tank.
But now...
One finger.
Not even a single drop of blood was on that finger.
What kind of power is this?
Superpowers?
No.
Shi Lei internally denied it vehemently.
He had seen the most powerful S-class Awakened make a move, and it was a cataclysmic event with tremendous force.
It's definitely not like what we see now, effortlessly handling heavy tasks, as if it were just brushing away a speck of dust... a freehand style.
This does not fall under the category of "power".
This is the "rule".
It is the "Tao".
It's a divine power from mythology, where words can become law and stones can turn into gold!
Looking at Su Bai's calm and composed face, only one thought remained in his mind.
Just now, I actually yelled at a... god, telling him to run?
How ridiculous.
How... pitiful.
Su Bai ignored the group of "natives" who were completely dumbfounded.
His gaze swept over Shi Lei, then over the others, and finally, he spoke softly.
Tell me, what are you doing here?
His voice was calm, without questioning or intimidation, as if he were asking about a trivial matter.
Shi Lei's body trembled violently.
Almost instinctively, he brought his feet together, straightened his back, and gave Su Bai a perfect military salute.
"Reporting... Senior... We... We are the 'Trailblazers' Team Seven..."
"By order... I have come to investigate the abnormal energy fluctuations in the core area of Shennongjia, and... and to try to find the legendary... 'opportunity'..."
His words were halting and disjointed.
A tough officer who could calmly command amidst gunfire was now unable to utter a single complete sentence.
"Opportunity?"
It seems the authorities acted faster than I expected.
Right.
After all, it's a country with a history of five thousand years, so there must be some hidden treasures.
It's not surprising that they reacted so quickly.
but……
"This is not a place for you now."
Su Bai's voice remained calm.
"Your intelligence is wrong."
"The real opportunities here are not something you can take."
After saying that, he said no more.
He has obtained the information he wanted to know.
He didn't care about the fate of the squad or the organization behind them.
He simply admired Shi Lei's principles, so he helped them out of convenience.
That's it.
Su Bai turned around, no longer looking at them, and started walking deeper into Shennongjia.
It was as if everything here had nothing to do with him anymore.
"S-senpai! Please wait!"
Seeing Su Bai about to leave, Shi Lei, emboldened by some unknown source, suddenly took a step forward and shouted loudly.
Su Bai paused, but did not turn around.
Seeing this, Shi Lei became anxious and quickly said, "Senior! We will never forget your life-saving grace today! Junior Shi Lei, may I humbly ask your esteemed name? We, 'Dragon Shield,' will certainly repay you handsomely in the future!"
He brought up his own organization, the mysterious organization that represented the highest level of violence in the country—Dragon Shield.
He hoped that this name would pique the interest of the mysterious senior in front of him.
However, Su Bai simply turned his back to him and waved his hand lightly.
next second.
His figure became blurry and illusory in the horrified gazes of Shi Lei and the others.
Like a reflection in water, ruffled by a gentle breeze.
Then, it simply vanished from the spot.
Shi Lei stretched out his hand, frozen in mid-air, his expression once again contorted.
The valley fell silent once again, as if dead.
Only the enormous headless corpse and Zhao Si lying on the ground wailing remained, proving that everything that had just happened was not an illusion.
for a long time.
for a long time.
"Team... Captain... He... He's gone?" the voluptuous female team member asked, her voice trembling.
"Um."
Shi Lei slowly lowered his arm, as if all his strength had been drained away.
The team members gradually gathered around, their faces a mixture of relief at surviving the ordeal and fear of the unknown forces.
"Who...who is that person...it's...it's terrifying..."
"Yeah, just one finger... My God, I feel like I'll never forget that image for the rest of my life..."
"Captain, what do we do now? Should we... should we continue the mission?"
One of the team members asked the most crucial question.
Shi Lei's gaze swept across the devastated valley, over the enormous corpse, and finally settled on the direction where Su Bai had disappeared.
His eyes were incredibly complex.
Should we continue the mission?
To seek out an "opportunity" that even that kind of monster cannot touch?
What should we take?
Are you willing to risk your life?
No, there aren't even enough lives to fill the gap.
In the face of such an existence, their so-called elite squad was no different from ants on the roadside.
He took a deep breath and gave the order in a tone that was both unprecedentedly tired and somewhat relieved.
"Mission... terminated."
"Organize our equipment, treat the wounded, and we... retreat."
"yes!"
The team members felt as if they had been granted a pardon.
"Captain, that Zhao Si..." The female team member glanced at Zhao Si, who was still rolling on the ground, her eyes filled with disgust.
Shi Lei's gaze turned cold.
"Give him emergency treatment; we can't let him die."
"We are soldiers, and we will not abandon any comrade-in-arms, even if he... no longer deserves to be called a comrade-in-arms."
"Upon returning, he will face the most severe trial by a military court."
After saying that, he ignored everyone and walked alone to the edge of the cliff.
He gazed into the depths of the dense forest where Su Bai had disappeared, a mixture of awe and confusion appearing in his resolute eyes.
strength……
So this is the real power?
Then what are these so-called awakened ones?
Shi Lei stood there for a very long time.
As the sun set, it cast a long shadow on him.
He then slowly began to mutter to himself in a voice only he could hear.
"This world..."
"There really is a God..."
