Exploding God

Lu Ze, who was involved, was unaware of what was happening inside the admissions office of Hurricane Academy.

Just like Feng Hao, who was also involved, he was unaware of what happened outside of school.

The moment the school bell rang, Feng Hao's heart was pounding, but he remained calmly seated, motionless.

"Brother Hao, school's over, what are you doing...?"

"You go first, I have something to do later." Feng Hao waved his hand and opened his data bracelet to browse the news.

The boy who asked the question didn't dare to say much and quickly nodded and walked away, but his eyes were full of disdain as he left. In the afternoon, Lin Zhidao came to the classroom and slapped him in the face. Everyone saw it clearly. Who is he putting on an act for now?

Pshaw~

After the people around him gradually moved away, Feng Hao pretended to watch the news for a few minutes before finally being unable to suppress the restlessness in his heart.

It's been seven or eight minutes since school ended. Given the ruthless methods of the Tiger Shark Gang members, Lin Zhidao must have been crippled by now.

Seeing that the classroom was empty, Feng Hao stood up with a cold smile, picked up his backpack, and walked out of the school.

The middle school campus is only a three-minute walk from the classroom to the school gate. Feng Hao walked with his head held high, his gaze indifferent, his right hand groping for the bracelet, wondering what kind of reply An Guang would give him.

Was it an arm or a leg that was broken?

Or is he seriously injured and unconscious?

If it's too serious, then you can only blame your bad luck.

……

Outside the school, hidden by tall buildings, lies a dark and cramped alley.

bass!

An Guang lit a cigarette with a lighter and inhaled the smoke deeply, letting the pungent smoke boil in his throat.

The weight of the heavy motorcycle beneath him finally brought him a sense of peace.

The man in the trench coat didn't have the same composure as his boss. He was riding his motorcycle, coughing violently while covering his mouth. When he let go, the bright red stain on his palm made him tremble with anger.

Beside him, Kim Jae-ho leaned against the wall, silently gazing at the sky. His forehead was wrapped in thick bandages, revealing only a pair of bloodshot eyes from the impact. The outer part of his eyeballs was a deep red, making him look exceptionally ferocious.

For a full minute, there was a deathly silence, a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle outside.

"Brother Kuang," Kim Jae-ho's clenched fist cracked, "How long has it been? How long has it been since we've suffered this kind of pain?"

The man in the trench coat didn't speak, but after coughing, he took out a white handkerchief to wipe the blood from his palm and looked at An Guang.

The cigarette butt was thrown into the soil and crushed by the leather boots. An Guang looked up at his two brothers and suddenly grinned.

"Do you remember what the leader said last time?"

"He is very interested in Shangnan's territory."

"As you all know, the leader doesn't say these things lightly. Although our Tiger Shark Gang has a place in the underground black market, our roots are in the wilderness outside the city, where countless dangers lurk. Even though we are peripheral members, we understand better than these guys in the inner city who are used to a comfortable life how terrifying the real Tiger Shark Gang is..."

"The leader is getting old and wants to come back to live a peaceful life."

"However, the established powers have already divided up this place completely."

"Therefore, the leader needs a reason to return."

An Guang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his palm, his pupils gleaming with an inexplicable light. His voice seemed to possess a certain magic, drawing the attention of the other two.

"Isn't this a ready-made reason? The Lin family on Blackwater Street is neither too big nor too small, just the perfect entry point."

Two other gazes simultaneously fell upon An Guang, filled with undisguised shock.

"If that's what the boss says, then today's beating was... worth it."

"Isn't it understandable that once the leader and his men move in, we can naturally raise the issue of liquidation?"

"That's for sure."

"This is getting interesting, haha... cough cough."

Laughter finally broke out from the shadows of the alleyway.

hum~

buzz~

Ok?

An Guang raised his wristband, saw the number of the incoming caller, and gestured for silence to his side.

Once the wristband is connected, An Guang selects to activate voice control.

"It actually connected? Does that mean the transaction is complete?" Feng Hao's voice came from the bracelet, filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"Heh...it's done." An Guang's face was contorted with rage, but his voice was unusually calm.

"That's perfect. Where are you? I'll come over."

"We are at..."

After the call ended, An Guang turned off the bracelet expressionlessly and grinned.

"Hey, what do you guys think is a reasonable amount for medical expenses?"

……

Upon hearing An Guang's answer, Feng Hao could already picture Lin Zhidao being brutally beaten.

"I, Feng Hao, am not one of those pushovers. If you dare hit me, you'd better be prepared for retaliation!"

"How swiftly this retribution has come, huh? Lin, Zhi, Dao!"

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and his steps quickened. Feng Hao rushed out of the school gate and arrived at the entrance of a dark alley 300 meters outside the school 5 minutes later as promised.

An Guang leaned against the wall, revealing half of his profile, his face expressionless.

Feng Hao didn't seem to care. With a slick smile on his face, he stepped forward and greeted him in a low voice, "Brother An."

"You're here?" An Guang turned around, revealing a smiling face.

"Hmm." Although he found the smile a little strange, Feng Hao nodded subconsciously.

"It's good that you're here."

An Guang raised his foot and delivered a powerful kick to the boy's abdomen.

Caught off guard, Feng Hao was kicked more than three meters away and knelt on the ground, trembling.

vomit!

Feeling extremely nauseous, he finally vomited up his lunch.

"An..." Feng Hao struggled to raise his head, his eyes filled with anger and confusion.

"Do you think the Tiger Sharks are some kind of third-rate thug organization?"

"Do you still think we three brothers are beggars?"

"Over the years, we brothers have traveled all over the country, and even those mutated beasts outside the city couldn't make us suffer. Who would have thought that we'd be defeated by a junior high school student today?"

"Tell me, what about your scheme against our Tiger Shark Gang, which resulted in the three of us brothers being seriously injured... How do you intend to settle this!?"

The man in the trench coat and Kim Jae-ho walked out from behind, looking down at Feng Hao from their elevated position.

"you say……"

Kim Jae-ho crouched down, speaking slowly and deliberately, then suddenly grabbed Feng Hao's hair, ignoring the latter's screams of pain, and pulled him close to his face, his voice cold: "In this state, shouldn't we pay some medical bills?"

"How about this, I'll give you a 50% discount."

"Three hundred thousand."

"We'll go with you home."

Feng Hao kept his mouth tightly shut, not daring to speak.

An Guang and his two companions exchanged a glance, a cold smile creeping onto their faces.

Moments later, a bloodcurdling scream echoed through the alley.

Fifteen minutes later, the three heavy motorcycles drove off aggressively.

Someone seemed to have spotted Feng Hao, whose face was swollen like a pig's head, on the back of the motorcycle.

……

……

Night fell quickly.

When the stars dot the sky, Shangnan City, protected by the energy shield, stands in stark contrast to the dark wilderness outside the city.

At the boundary between the azure zone and the reddish-brown zone, the magnificent inner city wall, illuminated by the light source, is both majestic and solemn.

Armed soldiers guarded all entrances. According to Dr. Bai Shiwu's Free City plan from 30 years ago, 21:00 to 4:00 the next day was the curfew for the Dome Zone, Blue Zone, and Red Brown Zone.

During this period, unless they are residents of the inner city or people with entry permits, no one else is allowed to enter the high-security zone from the low-security zone.

When this plan to divide people into different classes was first proposed, it sparked countless criticisms. However, as the fog invasion intensified and the chaotic security situation finally led some people to rethink their prevention and control measures, the increasingly powerful fog monsters made all the expected feasible methods futile.

Dr. Bai Shiwu, an expert in psychology and sociology, as well as a globally recognized master architect, surprisingly achieved the best results after his least favored plan was implemented.

Therefore, the towering Free Cities and border fortresses that stand in the Eastern Time Zone today have come to be.

If viewed from above, the city appears as a clearly defined ring.

Softly lit, lush and verdant, with forests, artificial lakes, parks, upscale villa areas, comprehensive medical facilities, and elegant shopping environments, this is the Dome District.

The roads are straight and orderly, with a constant flow of traffic and pedestrians. Major shopping malls and colleges of all sizes are located there, and schools of all sizes are evenly distributed. This is the Azure District.

The lights flickered and were multicolored, the buildings varied in height, there were no restrictions on the movement of people, and you could even see temporary shantytowns. The area was dangerous and had poor security. This was the reddish-brown area.

Compared to those shantytowns, it is already very rare for Lu Ze's family to have a 56-square-meter apartment.

The house has two bedrooms and a living room. The parents are resting in the master bedroom, while the two brothers, Lu Ze and Lu Ming, are in the second bedroom.

A bed was placed against the wall, and on either side of the wooden door were two long tables with yellow wooden legs.

Two table lamps lit up.

Lu Ming seemed a little absent-minded today. While looking at the calculation steps for the linear algebra exam on the screen, his mind was flashing back to the men's clothing pictures he had just looked at—the "sky-high" prices approaching four figures...

I wonder what I'd look like in it. I'd definitely look more energetic than I do now, but the price of over 900 yuan per piece is far beyond my means...

Earning money is not easy for the family, and supporting their two children's education is even more difficult. In addition, the older brother will be going to university soon after finishing the college entrance examination, and the younger brother will be going to high school soon. The tuition fees for the two of them will be an astronomical figure.

My mother works very hard, and my father's health needs to be improved.

So what I need to do now is not to worry about this, but to try to change reality!

"Living in the same environment, the difference between the strong and the weak lies in who can change it."

Remembering what his brother had said yesterday, a determined look flashed in Lu Ming's eyes.

To become a strong person, you must first have a strong heart!

Lu Ming glanced at the other side of the door. His brother's fingers flew across the keyboard, the program code on the screen flowing like a waterfall. The sound of typing on the keyboard was like a continuous, rushing river, almost connecting the dense raindrops. For two whole hours, it never stopped.

My brother is still working hard, so I can't fall behind!

With his mood finally lifted, a smile naturally appeared on Lu Ming's face as he continued to immerse himself in the ocean of knowledge.

However, Lu Ming didn't see that when he lowered his head again, Lu Ze's cheek turned slightly, and a smile appeared on his lips.

My younger brother has grown up and matured, and he has his own opinions.

Lu Ze was relieved; some things didn't need to be said aloud.

He just needs to step forward at the most opportune moment and show his brother through his actions.

With your brother around, you can do whatever you want...

Anything.
