Outside Lu Yuan's room, in the living room, three figures were using the light from the window to survey their surroundings.

Two of these three people were the thugs Lu Yuan had dealt with before.

Their arms, which Lu Yuan had crushed, had been replaced with mechanical arms, and their faces were still pale.

The two nervously scanned their surroundings, as if something might appear.

The Red-Haired Thug spoke in a low voice:

"Big Brother Pete, we asked around, that kid is a senior at Rose Middle School, an orphan, and because he's poor, he can only afford to rent a place here. But he awakened as a Gene Warrior a few days ago, so he's probably about to make it big."

As he spoke, the Red-Haired Thug's eyes revealed a look of envy.

In front of them, a tall, brown-haired man surveyed the surroundings, nodding expressionlessly:

"Well, that kid is so interested in Old Dao's cause of death, he might know something. Grab him and ask. And daring to attack people from our Black Rat Gang, whether he's a student or not, he has to be prepared for revenge!"

The two thugs were moved by his words and nodded fiercely.

"This house is a shared apartment, which room is the kid in?"

"This... we don't know, should we look one by one?"

"Then let's look one by one."

Pete nodded, a pistol appearing in his hand.

The other two thugs also took out pistols.

The three of them, carrying guns and with murderous intent in their eyes, planned to start searching for Lu Yuan's room.

Inside Li Qinghe's room.

Li Qinghe, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, cultivating with her eyes closed, opened her eyes, her delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly, revealing a hint of cold murderous intent.

"Some little rats from the gutter dare to bring their attention here? Seeking death!"

She stood up, intending to go out.

Suddenly, she paused, raised her eyebrows, and revealed a hint of interested expression.

Inside Lu Yuan's room, Lu Yuan heard the sound of the door opening and frowned.

This was the Slum, and having someone open the door in the middle of the night probably meant he was encountering a home robbery.

Here, home robberies happen every day.

If the robbers are unhappy, there are quite a few cases of them killing someone after the robbery.

Lu Yuan had lived here for some time, and although he hadn't encountered it himself, he had heard quite a few stories.

If it were before, he would be a little scared.

But now...

A cold light flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes, and he opened the door and walked out.

Inside the living room, Pete and the two thugs, who were about to start searching, looked towards Lu Yuan upon hearing the noise.

When the two thugs saw Lu Yuan, they instinctively widened their eyes, a hint of nervousness and fear in their eyes.

The arm with the mechanical arm installed also had a faint throbbing sensation.

The Red-Haired Thug quickly pointed at Lu Yuan and said,

"Big Brother Pete! It's him! He's the kid!"

Lu Yuan saw the two thugs and couldn't help but frown, revealing a cold smile:

"It's you two? It seems like you didn't cherish the chance I gave you last time?"

"Humph! Kid, don't think we'll be the same as we were this morning!"

"You're finished! Prepare to die! Our Black Rat Gang won't let anyone who dares to hurt our members get away with it!"

Pete ignored the two thugs' clamoring, raised his pistol, pointed it at Lu Yuan, and said with a cold face:

"Kid, come with us."

Lu Yuan glanced at the pistol in Pete's hand and smiled:

"What if I say no?"

Pete narrowed his eyes:

"This is an order, not a request. I know you're a Gene Warrior, but you've just awakened, right? You can't withstand firearms."

Lu Yuan smiled.

His body instantly erupted, his speed greatly increased, and he rushed towards Pete and the others.

Pete's pupils shrank, and he decisively pulled the trigger at Lu Yuan.

Bang!

The sound of gunfire echoed through the night.

In the next moment, Pete's eyes widened, revealing an unbelievable expression.

Lu Yuan transformed his hand into a pitch-black color and grasped the muzzle of the pistol. After the gunshot, the bullet was blocked by Lu Yuan.

While Pete was shocked, Lu Yuan exerted force, and the barrel of Pete's pistol was crushed, rendering the pistol useless on the spot.

Lu Yuan retracted his hand, and a flattened bullet fell from Lu Yuan's palm, making a crisp sound.

"This is impossible! How could he catch a bullet with his bare hands after just awakening?!"

Pete's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

Lu Yuan glanced at his palm, the center of his palm was slightly broken, and a little blood flowed out.

However, it could only be considered a flesh wound.

The Black Iron Body's defense had never disappointed him.

The lethality of this kind of pistol was limited, so the damage to the Black Iron Body was naturally not significant.

He looked up at the shocked Pete and smiled:

"What's impossible? Didn't you see it with your own eyes?"

He glanced at Pete, then looked at the two thugs.

"Remember when I said don't let me see you again?"

The two thugs heard Lu Yuan's words and recovered from their shock.

They quickly raised the guns in their hands and pointed them at Lu Yuan:

"What do you want to do?! Don't come over!"

Lu Yuan quickly reached out and grabbed the two thugs' guns.

Seeing this, the two thugs' faces showed a ferocious look, desperately trying to shoot.

However, Lu Yuan's speed was faster than the two who were just ordinary people.

He grabbed their guns and raised them up.

Bang bang bang!

Gunshots rang out continuously, and all the bullets hit the ceiling.

Soon the gunshots stopped, and the two thugs pulled the triggers hard, only to find that there were no bullets left.

Lu Yuan exerted force with both hands.

A harsh metallic friction sound rang out, and the gun barrels were pinched flat by Lu Yuan.

He let go of the guns and smiled at the two thugs.

The two thugs saw Lu Yuan's smile, their bodies trembled violently, and their faces were filled with fear.

The green-haired thug yelled and threw the scrapped gun at Lu Yuan, then turned around and tried to run.

Lu Yuan casually caught the gun and threw it at the thug.

The gun hit the green-haired thug's back, and the sound of bones breaking rang out.

The green-haired thug lunged forward and fell to the ground, convulsing constantly.

The red-haired thug looked terrified at this scene.

Even the previously indifferent Pete's face showed cold sweat.

Pete decisively grabbed the red-haired thug and pushed him towards Lu Yuan.

He himself ran towards the window, lunged, smashed through the window, and jumped out of the room.

The red-haired thug never expected that Pete would push him towards Lu Yuan, and his big eyes were still filled with confusion.

Lu Yuan kicked the red-haired thug in the chest.

The sound of bones breaking rang out, and the red-haired thug flew backwards, heavily hitting the wall, then slid to the ground, convulsing constantly.

Lu Yuan didn't even look at him, came to the window, and saw that Pete had already landed and was running outside.

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly.

Lu Yuan's apartment was on the third floor, not too high from the ground, but not too low either. An ordinary person jumping down would probably be injured.

He didn't expect this guy to be still alive and kicking.

He supported himself on the windowsill with one hand and jumped down as well.

After landing easily, Lu Yuan burst into speed and chased after Pete.

Seeing Lu Yuan chasing after him, Pete turned around and threw a small knife at Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan then caught the knife and threw it backhand.

Whoosh!

The knife was extremely fast, shooting towards Pete's chest.

Pete's eyes suddenly turned into vertical pupils, and he flipped to the side, dodging the knife.

Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes.

So, he was also a Gene Warrior.

It's just that his strength didn't seem to be very good, and the genes he had engraved didn't seem to be inclined towards combat power.

Lu Yuan accelerated and ran for dozens of meters, catching up with Pete.

He punched Pete in the back.

Pete turned around and blocked with both hands in front of him.

Lu Yuan's fist hit Pete's hands.

Bang!

With a muffled sound, Pete grunted, his face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

His body swayed back two steps, and Lu Yuan had already moved forward again, swinging his fist.

"Wait! I surrender! I have something to say!"

Pete suddenly shouted.

Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes, his fist stopping in front of him.

"Gulp!"

Pete looked at the fist close at hand, swallowed, and cold sweat broke out on his face.

Lu Yuan retracted his fist, looked at Pete, and smiled:

"What is it? Let's see if it can save your life."

Pete twitched the corner of his mouth, took a deep breath, and then said:

"Friend, do you want to know the news about that black shadow?"

Lu Yuan's pupils shrank, looked at Pete, and smiled:

"You know about it?"

"Although our Black Rat Gang isn't the biggest gang in the entire Slum, we're still quite well-informed. We know a little, and some of our members have been victims. We've been looking for information about that thing recently."

"Oh? Tell me what you know."

"Friend, if I tell you, can you let me go?"

"Do you believe I'll kill you right now?"

"I'll talk! I'll talk right away!"

Pete quickly raised his hands, a fawning smile on his face.
