Infinite Hextech, I roam freely across the heavens.

Boom!

The ceiling above my head suddenly collapsed.

Meng Li subconsciously pulled Lin Ruotong next to her and hugged her.

And then a strong gust of wind blew by and the sound of pebbles hitting the ground was heard.

Looking up again, they saw that the building above them had a large crack running from front to back, with many bricks and stones falling to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

Outside the crack stood a 30-meter-tall green figure, dressed in warrior armor and wielding a pale green greatsword.

Looking at this enormous Sengoku period samurai who seemed to have stepped out of a game and into reality, Meng Li's pupils contracted slightly, and a sense of danger unconsciously rose in his heart.

It's true what they say, bad things happen, good things don't. I never expected that among these suddenly appearing Edo Tensei ninjas, there would actually be someone who can activate Susanoo. What's the difference between this and cheating?

Judging from its size, it should already be a mature Susanoo. An Edo Tensei ninja is equivalent to having a pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan that never runs out of power. This is a huge war machine.

The military couldn't possibly break through his armor without using high-powered weapons, but he just happened to appear in the center of Shui'ao City, where who knows how many powerful figures were, and there was no way to use forbidden weapons.

One-track mind becomes blocked at both ends.

If Meng Li had some confidence in the military just now, their chances of winning have now become almost zero after Susanoo appeared.

He remembered that the green Susanoo was Shisui's standard equipment, but who knew if the Naruto world's settings could be applied to these reanimated ninjas? There were so many Uchiha from the Warring States period onwards, it wasn't impossible for any dead person to be able to activate the green Susanoo.

Fortunately, the other party wasn't targeting him; the building being split open was merely an aftershock of his battle with the authorities.

Sparks flew from his body from time to time amidst the barrage of artillery fire, but his armor healed at a visible speed, and the damage inflicted by the authorities was repaired by his inexhaustible chakra in just a few seconds.

He seemed to be enraged by the official attack, and he kept slashing at the artillery fire coming from all around him, moving his whole body towards the direction from which the attack originated.

The deafening sound gradually faded into the distance.

Meng Li's tense muscles finally relaxed a little.

"What is that?"

Lin Ruotong, nestled in her arms, spoke with a somewhat dazed look in her eyes.

Because of this sudden turn of events, she did not resist after being hugged by Meng Li. Instead, her body tensed up, and she wanted to be completely nestled in Meng Li's arms.

Feeling the warmth emanating from the other person's delicate body, Meng Li felt somewhat helpless.

After all, he wasn't as nervous as Lin Ruotong, and therefore his attention was instantly captured by her.

Is this how you test cadres?

Which cadre can withstand such a test?

In other words, the time and place are not right now, otherwise he felt he might turn into a big bad wolf.

The two hugged for a few minutes, when suddenly Lin Ruotong seemed to realize something, and her face turned bright red.

"I'm...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

She quickly crawled out of Meng Li's arms, and said in a soft voice, her head lowered like an ostrich.

But whether intentionally or unintentionally, she held Meng Li's hand and did not let go.

Just as the atmosphere between the two sides was gradually becoming somewhat romantic.

"Bang!"

The locker room door was suddenly forced open.

Because of the commotion outside, many Edo Tensei ninjas were moving towards the Edo Tensei Susanoo. Coincidentally, one of them happened to pass by and spotted Meng Li and Lin Ruotong's presence.

The newcomer was a ninja from an unknown country. His headband had a vertical line down the middle and two leaf-like curves on the sides. Meng Li's impression of the Hokage was limited to the Five Great Nations. Although the headband of this unknown small country looked somewhat familiar to him, he couldn't recall its origin for the moment.

But none of that matters anymore.

Since they were all enemies anyway, he didn't see any difference between the five major powers and small countries.

Without using ninjutsu, the ninja in front of him charged straight at him with a short sword in hand.

Meng Li reacted quickly as well.

He released Lin Ruotong, picked up the chair next to him, took two steps forward, and slammed it down on her.

With a cracking sound, the chair instantly turned into pieces on the floor.

But the other party isn't having an easy time either.

Despite his best efforts to resist, Meng Li still managed to smash half of his skull.

After all, with Meng Li's current strength, even the slightest leak of his power would be something Meng Li wouldn't be able to withstand.

And take this opportunity.

"run!"

Grabbing the still-unresponsive Lin Ruotong, he bypassed the reanimated ninja and rushed towards the bottom of the building.

Initially, he intended to leave the other person in the dressing room and then leave, but he didn't expect the unexpected appearance of Susanoo.

If they were to abandon her now, Lin Ruotong would likely face certain death. Although Meng Li was not a good person, he still believed in saving those he could.

Well, since we just took advantage of him, we shouldn't ask him why he didn't save the others; it would be impolite to ask again.

In order to avoid revealing his strength, Meng Li endured a great deal of hardship.

Although there was a hint of romance between him and Lin Ruotong, he hadn't forgotten that he had only met her twice. Without knowing her specific personality and without intending to silence her, he couldn't possibly reveal his strength.

Fortunately, with the departure of many Edo Tensei ninjas, Meng Li and his group had a much smoother escape route than before.

Even if he occasionally encountered ninjas left in the building, they were all low-ranking ninjas, and Meng Li quickly wiped them out with his theatrical attacks.

Soon, he pulled Lin Ruotong and ran all the way outside the building.

"Where do we go next?"

Along the way, they encountered enemies one after another. Although Lin Ruotong was not weak, she was inevitably afraid and panicked. This was manifested in her gripping Meng Li's hand tighter and tighter and her obedience to Meng Li.

"I'm not familiar with this area, do you have any recommendations?"

"I have visited air-raid shelters that were built decades ago. They are heavily protected and people would probably gather there."

After thinking for a few seconds, Lin Ruotong said.

"Then let's go there."

Meng Li made the decision immediately.

For him, it didn't matter where they went; the main thing was to get Lin Ruotong to a safe place.

After all, he couldn't let the other party hold him back when he was gathering intelligence.

The air-raid shelter isn't far from here.

At this moment, the number of Edo Tensei ninjas outside had decreased significantly, coupled with Meng Li's powerful senses.

After winding their way around, the two of them surprisingly reached their destination without encountering any enemies.

Lin Ruotong was right; the authorities did indeed urgently deploy air-raid shelters.

Even though they were still several streets away, Meng Li could already faintly hear the sounds of people maintaining order in the distance.

Since that's the case, he also plans to leave.
