My whole family was brutally murdered? I awakened the thug system and went on a killing spree.

Jiangcheng South District, underground air-raid shelter.

This place used to be a refuge for Jiangcheng's underground forces, but it has now been transformed into Qin Meng's exclusive camp.

Heavy trucks lined up in a long queue at the entrance. Supplies plundered from the provincial capital were being continuously transported underground. Crates of high-grade alien beast meat, tons of rare ores, and tens of thousands of gene serums were piled up like mountains.

Hu Biao directed his men to move the load, his voice becoming hoarse from shouting.

A sonic boom echoed through the sky. A dark shadow plummeted from the heavens, crashing heavily onto the open ground at the entrance to the air-raid shelter. The ground caved in, and the blast wave overturned several empty trucks.

Qin Meng straightened up and threw the captured weapons from his back to Hu Biao.

"Take it to the lab. Disassemble it and study it."

Hu Biao caught the weapon, his eyes gleaming: "Sir, this is top-of-the-line stuff from the capital. Are you in trouble?"

"A few flies." Qin Meng didn't pay any attention and walked straight into the air-raid shelter.

The bottom floor of the air-raid shelter was emptied and transformed into a huge cold storage and dining area.

Jiang Nuonuo came up with a tablet and reported on the inventory of supplies.

"Sir, most of the assets in the provincial capital have already been liquidated. The current reserves are enough to support the 100,000 gangsters in Jiangcheng for a year."

Qin Meng waved his hand to interrupt her.

"Move everything to the ground floor. I'm going into seclusion."

Jiang Nuonuo didn't ask any further questions and arranged for people to gather supplies.

Qin Meng remained alone on the ground floor. The alloy door was sealed, isolating him from the outside world.

He looked around. Hundreds and thousands of tons of high-calorie meat and purified chemicals were laid out before him. This was the foundation of the provincial capital for a century, and now it was the fuel he needed for his evolution.

He sat down cross-legged. Qin Meng grabbed a piece of meat from the hind leg of a tenth-tier Ironclad Dragon Turtle and began to eat it raw.

Teeth easily crushed the hard bones, and the marrow mixed with meat juices was swallowed.

The super-strong stomach acid churns inside the stomach, rapidly breaking down food.

The system panel started flashing.

[Consumes 20 Violence Points, Physique +2]

[Consumes 50 Violence Points, Physique +5]

Qin Meng ate faster and faster.

He was like a bottomless pit, swallowing everything in sight.

He was testing. The previous awakenings of his traits all matched the skills he needed most. Now, he was absorbing massive amounts of energy while awakening his traits, hoping to discover a suitable one.

He crushed the box containing 50,000 vials of ninth-tier gene serum, the pale blue liquid transforming into a high-concentration energy mist, which was then absorbed into his body through his pores via the energy absorption valve.

High temperatures began to permeate the bottom of the air-raid shelter.

The temperature in the cold storage room, which was originally minus twenty degrees Celsius, skyrocketed. The frost on the walls melted, evaporated, and turned into white mist.

Qin Meng's skin had a deep, dark golden sheen.

The black veins seemed to move under the skin like living things, weaving an extremely complex energy network.

Current physique: 798

Current physique: 799

We're just a hair's breadth away from the 800-point mark.

Qin Meng picked up the last can of tenth-grade deep-sea oarfish spinal fluid and tilted his head back to gulp it down.

The icy cold collides with the extreme heat within the body. The mitochondria deep within the cell nucleus enter a state of hyper-fission.

[Physical fitness level reached 800!]

[Physical strength has exceeded the 800 threshold; life level is poised for its fourth leap.]

[The bones, internal organs, and muscle fibers are reorganized and compressed.]

The crisp system notification sound echoed deep within my mind.

Qin Meng closed his eyes. He could clearly sense the earth-shattering changes taking place inside his body.

The bones are incredibly strong, with double the density, giving them a translucent obsidian texture.

The muscle fibers were compressed to the extreme, and every muscle contained explosive power enough to destroy a city wall.

The black Dao patterns on the body surface solidified, forming an invisible force field shield.

[Gain new feature: Antimatter Furnace (Basic)]

[Feature Description: The stomach transforms into a miniature antimatter furnace, capable of ignoring the form of matter, devouring and digesting all tangible things, and converting them into physical strength.]

Sure enough, Qin Meng opened his eyes.

His eyes had no whites; they were filled with highly compressed dark golden energy.

He exhaled. The airflow struck the alloy wall of the air-raid shelter, melting a large hole in it.

Eight hundred points of physical strength. This cannot be called a human body. This is a planet-destroying weapon disguised as a human.

Qin Meng stood up and stretched his limbs. There was no sound of bones grinding together. His body was so perfect that there were no gaps between them.

He threw a punch. He didn't use any martial arts techniques, nor did he deliberately compress the air.

A black crack appeared in the space ahead. The physical mass crushed the spatial structure.

"Ji Wudao, your so-called high-dimensional laws are now a joke in my eyes."

Qin Meng withdrew his fist, and the spatial rift closed.

The emergence of the antimatter furnace's properties means that he is no longer limited to conventional food. Stones, metals, enemy weapons, and energy attacks can all be directly consumed as fuel.

Its battery life has reached an astonishing level.

Qin Meng walked to the closed alloy door but didn't press the switch. He inserted his fingers into the half-meter-thick door panel and tore the door in two like tearing paper.

Outside the door, Jiang Nuonuo and Hu Biao waited anxiously. Feeling the intense heat emanating from inside, they quickly retreated.

Seeing Qin Meng emerge unharmed, the two breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sir, you've gotten even stronger." Hu Biao swallowed hard. He found himself lacking even the courage to look Qin Meng in the eye; the life force emanating from that body was sending his instincts into overdrive.

Qin Meng ignored his flattery.

"What's going on in the capital?" Qin Meng asked.

Jiang Nuonuo handed over the tablet.

"Our intelligence network in the capital has sent back a message. The Martial God Tower has issued a top-priority arrest warrant. They are no longer concealing their intentions and have designated you as a Level One National Threat Target."

"Ji Wudao announced his seclusion and, led by two other ninth-level Grandmasters from the Capital Tribunal, has assembled 100,000 Northern Border Guards and is advancing towards Jiangcheng."

Qin Meng stared at the marching route map on his tablet. A hundred thousand troops, equipped with heavy mechs and interstellar warships. This was a showdown with Jiangcheng to establish their authority.

"One hundred thousand people deliver takeout," Qin Meng commented.

With the antimatter furnace, the equipment and flesh of these 100,000 people could be used to offset the exaggerated exchange rate after the 800 points.

"Pass down the order." Qin Meng looked at Hu Biao and Jiang Nuonuo, "Everyone in Jiangcheng, evacuate to the underground air-raid shelters. Abandon all surface facilities."

Hu Biao was taken aback: "Sir, aren't we going to defend the city?"

Qin Meng gave him a cold glance.

"City walls are things that the weak use to hide."

"I am the defense line of Jiangcheng all by myself."
