In Ma Ran's mind, everyone who should have died in the "Area A3 Nightmare Incident" deserved to be saved.
He thought for a moment, then communicated with Su Qiangwei in sign language: "Don't worry."
"Opponents at this level are nothing but punching bags."
"I can take on a thousand of them."
Ma Ran's behavior could usually be described as bragging.
Besides, he had also switched concepts on the sly.

As a result, they couldn't display their full strength.
Although their strength and speed hadn't been affected, their reactions were indeed sluggish, and their movements somewhat stiff.
Ordinary people might not
