Rotten God Kingdom
Chapter 7 Attack
After the cataclysm, the laws of the world were replaced by other laws.
The law of the sick city is disease.
Only those who embrace disease can survive in the Sick City, and the disease also grants its inhabitants supernatural abilities.
Other cities also have their own unique rules.
Jiang Wang grew up in a place called Hunting City. This city did not allow farming or production; the only way for all residents of Hunting City to obtain sustenance was by "hunting." Hunting targets could be wild beasts and monsters in the wilderness, or residents of other cities.
Of course, more often than not, the hunters hunted each other.
Hunting monsters is much more difficult than hunting humans.
Successful hunts will earn you rewards from the hunting city, with the amount of the reward depending on the value of the prey.
As long as you can hunt prey of sufficient value, you can live like an emperor in the hunting town.
Does that sound appealing? Actually, it's quite brutal.
Hunters don't deserve trust. Here, you can never be sure if your friends and family will point a gun at you for a bite to eat.
Even when sleeping at night or walking on the street, one must be wary of guns fired from behind every second.
This unique environment honed Jiang Wang's hunting skills and also gave him another special ability.
Jiang Wang reached out and grasped at the void, causing ripples to spread across the air. He then pulled an assault rifle directly from the void.
Its design is rugged, reflecting the post-apocalyptic era.
Hunting City's superpowers, its armory.
Jiang Wang can store weapons in a virtual space; he can even stuff a field gun into it and take it out whenever he wants to use it.
He didn't want to reveal his true identity, but Han Lin and his group's actions offended Jiang Wang.
This rented room is not only occupied by Jiang Wang, but also by Jiang Xin!
Jiang Wang unleashed a physical prowess he had never displayed before, making it impossible for the hand outside the window to aim accurately in such a confined space.
The people of Hunter City are naturally very strong physically. With Jiang Wang's current speed, he could easily win the sprint championship at the Olympics before the cataclysm.
Bang, bang...
Several more gunshots rang out, and Jiang Wang nimbly dodged them.
He quickly moved closer to the window.
Outside the window was a completely unfamiliar face.
As Jiang Wang raised his gun, his gaze swept across the face, and he quickly analyzed the situation in his mind.
The facial features and skin are normal, and there are no obvious diseases.
He has a normal body shape and normal limbs.
What is this man's illness? What is this man's superpower?
His heart was pounding violently in his chest, the sound of his heartbeat like thunder, exploding in Jiang Wang's ears. His heartbeat was getting faster and faster, so fast that Jiang Wang felt it was about to explode at any moment.
Da da da……
Jiang Wang pulled the trigger, and to his surprise, he found that the muzzle of his gun had risen a few centimeters. The bullet, which should have accurately hit the man's forehead, grazed the man's scalp instead.
Not right.
As a hunter, Jiang Wang would never have his heart racing when encountering prey, let alone make such a fatal mistake.
He was absolutely certain that he was calm, so calm that Jiang Wang had already pre-planned his next move in his mind.
His finger loosened the trigger and pressed the muzzle down.
It didn't even take a second to do this action, but Jiang Wang felt his brain freeze, and the scene in front of him was like a still frame, moving frame by frame.
The thunderous heartbeat in his ears disappeared, and Jiang Wang couldn't even feel his own heartbeat anymore.
heart disease!
Myocarditis causes atrioventricular block and tachycardia.
The man's superpower amplified these two manifestations, even affecting Jiang Wang's movements.
A smug smile spread across the man's face.
He raised his pistol again.
boom!
Gunshots rang out.
A bullet fired from another direction struck the man's arm. The impact and pain disrupted his movements, and the influence he had exerted on Jiang Wang immediately disappeared.
There are two hunters in this rented house.
Jiangxin was the second one.
As a native of the Hunting City, she has survived to this day not entirely thanks to Jiang Wang's protection.
She hung by the window, with only her head and one arm sticking out from the wooden shelf on the wall holding spare parts. This greatly reduced her shooting accuracy, preventing her from taking the man's life with a single shot.
She abandoned the pistol, snapped her fingers with her other hand, and a faint flame flickered at her fingertips. The skin on her hand quickly lost moisture under the heat of the flame, and the skin, which began to turn transparent, crumbled little by little.
Jiang Xin gritted her teeth and threw the ball of fire at the attacker.
Hunting City's Superpower - Arson.
The flames shot up violently upon touching the attacker's coat, and the man screamed in agony as he collapsed to the ground, writhing in agony.
Jiang Wang pulled the trigger, and the gunshots rang out again. But in that instant, in Jiang Wang's eyes, the attacker's figure suddenly began to distort. The scene in Jiang Wang's vision was like a funhouse mirror, and the whole world seemed to become absurd.
All the bullets missed their mark, the bullet holes only twenty centimeters away from the stranger.
In the blink of an eye, the strange man had vanished, but Jiang Wang could still hear footsteps.
Visual distortion caused by macular degeneration.
The superpowers granted by this disease can be imposed on others.
Jiang Wang abandoned his idea of chasing the stranger and went to the window to look up.
Jiang Wang could see a figure on the roof of the building opposite, but because the distance was too far, he couldn't even tell whether the person on the roof was male or female.
"Brother, have you gotten into trouble?"
Jiang Xin walked from the storage room, rubbing her wrist, toward the living room.
Jiang Wang remained silent for a while before nodding and saying, "Highly likely."
"Your hand..."
"It's just using my superpower for a little while, it's no big deal," Jiang Xin interrupted him.
Jiang Xin's tone was relaxed, but Jiang Wang could see the suppressed pain in her expression.
"But didn't I hear that your job is to get rid of sick ghosts? The ones who attacked us just now were clearly living people."
"Are you hiding something from me?" Jiang Xin was afraid that Jiang Wang would ask again, so she quickly changed the subject.
Jiang Wang chose to conceal Han Yue's situation, downplaying the seriousness of the matter by saying, "This time, the task assigned by the Cleanup Bureau was to capture a patient whose disease had mutated and become highly contagious. She was supposed to be 'dealt with' by the hospital, but with the help of others, she escaped."
It seems she has quite a few friends.
There are quite a few.
Jiang Wang had only arrived at Han Yue's residence that morning to conduct an inspection, and the attack had already begun by evening.
This not only angered Jiang Wang, but also piqued his curiosity.
What secret does Han Yue hold that makes this group of people go to such lengths to help him escape, even at the cost of attacking the cleaners?
beep...
Jiang Wang's phone vibrated in his pocket.
He picked it up and saw a message from an unknown sender: "Brother, brother, are you still alive? I've been attacked! One person attacked while the other provided cover; if they missed their target, they retreated immediately."
Jiang Wang remembered that he had exchanged contact information with his four teammates when he left the Cleanup Bureau.
The one who likes to call someone "brother" is probably Hu Chengyu.
Jiang Wang put the assault rifle back into his supernatural space and typed a reply: "Still alive. I was also attacked, by two people."
"Thank goodness, I knew you couldn't have died like that with your skills. Should we find a place to meet up right away? I'm worried these attacks will continue."
Jiang Wang typed back, "No need."
Because he had already heard the sound of rapid footsteps.
The gunshots alerted the nearby sheriff.
Most sheriffs have superpowers that allow them to fight, although they are unlikely to beat cleaners in a one-on-one fight, since cleaners are a group of people who live on the edge.
"Hands on your head and crouch down!"
The sheriff drew his pistol and pointed it at Jiang Wang and Jiang Xin.
Jiang Xin looked at Jiang Wang.
Jiang Wang slowly shook his head.
The two obediently knelt down, burying their heads in their hands.
"I'm the cleaner. You can find my ID in the black bag on the sofa over there, and you can find my rental certificate in the cabinet on your left."
My name is Jiang Wang, and my sister's name is Jiang Xin. You can submit an investigation application to the Cleanup Bureau now.
Jiang Wang's phone vibrated again in his pocket.
Exactly two sounds.
Jiang Wang lowered his hand from behind his head and reached into his pocket to take out his phone.
As expected, they were those two new teammates.
They didn't die.
Jiang Wang replied to each message, and his initially bad mood inexplicably improved.
This teammate is really strong.
Even Jiang Wang himself almost suffered a setback, but none of his three teammates died.
"Put your phone down!" the sheriff shouted sternly.
Ignoring everything else, Jiang Wang started communicating with his teammates on his phone.
Being attacked for no reason is infuriating.
Regardless of Han Yue and Han Lin's motives, Jiang Wang and his men were simply following orders.
The cleanup crew, heroes of the sick city, carried out two deadly attacks in a single day.
Very good, that's good.
Jiang Wang decided to send these people to hell after finding out the truth!
