The manor's walls are tall and thick, made of solid masonry.
There was also a ring of sharp, rusty barbed wire wrapped around it.
It is brightly lit, clean and tidy. Compared with the messy survivors' residences outside, it is like two different worlds.
At the entrance of the manor, two guards were lazily leaning against the wall.
The weapons in their hands were also placed casually on one side. They should have been paying attention to the disturbance around the manor, but at this moment, their expressions were full of fatigue.
After all, this is the time when people feel most sleepy.
The two of them didn't pay attention to this.
After all, with the leader here, who would risk his life to break into this manor?
"Old Zhang, just keep an eye on me. I have a stomachache. I need to go to the toilet."
A man with a hideous scar on his face covered his stomach and said to his companions beside him.
"Okay, okay, you have a lot to do, go and come back quickly!"
The guard known as Old Zhang waved his hand impatiently.
The scar-faced man chuckled, turned and walked towards the toilet outside.
--call!
In an instant.
A gust of night wind howled by, probably because it had just rained.
Suddenly, I felt a chill that seemed to penetrate into my bones, making me shiver uncontrollably.
Front.
The scar-faced man who had just walked a few steps suddenly stopped and stood still.
Seeing this, Old Zhang couldn't help but frown and shouted.
"What are you doing here?"
Due to the long distance and late at night, he could only barely see the other person's back through the faint light coming from the manor.
Then.
The words fell.
The other party seemed not to hear.
There was no response.
See this.
The man named Old Zhang felt something in his heart.
Stand up.
Walking towards Scarface.
He came behind the other person, reached out and patted the other person's shoulder.
"You..."
As soon as he said a word, his movements stopped.
The next moment.
Bang!
In front of him, Scarface, who was standing with his back to him, fell straight to the ground.
See this.
Old Zhang's face changed wildly.
However, before he could shout out.
puff!
In an instant, a sharp pain hit his forehead like lightning.
The whole person seemed to be hit hard by an invisible force and fell straight to the ground.
Just when consciousness is about to fade away.
In his eyes, he saw a vague figure walking out of the darkness ahead.
Hu Qi calmly glanced at the two people who had no signs of life.
I saw that there was an iron piece on their foreheads at some point.
Bend down and pick up a gun from one of them.
Immediately afterwards.
He lifted his legs and walked straight into the manor.
This is a spacious courtyard.
There is a road paved with bluestones in the middle.
A road leads straight to the main building of the manor.
On both sides of the road, all kinds of flowers, plants and trees are lush and green. In this wasteland-like environment, every plant is particularly precious.
Perhaps because night had fallen, the number of guards at this time was reduced compared to the day, with only two people guarding here.
But when you think about it, this makes sense.
After all, in this world, evolvers have greater power than ordinary people, and the so-called guards are more of a warning.
Once you really encounter an enemy, you have to rely on your own strength in the end.
This manor covers a considerable area, with gardens, swimming pools, everything, and even a huge vegetable shed.
Various vegetables and fruits are grown inside.
The main building has three floors.
now.
In the master bedroom on the third floor, a huge bed occupies a prominent position in the room.
The bed is spread with soft sheets and thick quilts.
The side of the bed.
A huge floor-to-ceiling window is embedded in it. If you lie on this bed, you can have a panoramic view of the gathering place outside.
But at this moment, the curtains have been drawn up.
inside the room.
The bed shook slightly, and the quilt stirred accordingly.
A series of melancholy sounds echoed in the air.
This situation lasted for nearly an hour.
suddenly.
Accompanied by a muffled growl and a few subtle gasps from a woman, the room gradually fell into silence.
A man slowly poked his head out of the quilt, his chest heaving violently, and he was breathing heavily.
Strangely, the skin on his face was as dark and rough as charcoal, covered with pits, as if it had been burned by fire, making him look extremely ugly.
However, his body is extremely strong, with clear muscles all over his body.
The arms were spread out, and three completely different faces were quietly revealed.
Cool, pure and charming.
The looks of these three women have their own characteristics, which are particularly eye-catching in this world environment.
They are different from ordinary survivors who are starving, with pale faces and sallow skin.
The skin of the three of them is actually fair, tender and well-maintained.
At this moment, their faces were flushed and sweating profusely, and their originally neat hair was now messy and stuck to their faces.
They nestled against the man's chest affectionately, seeming to completely ignore the man's terrifying face. Their eyes were filled with admiration, and they all whispered:
"Sir, you are really amazing!"
"It's almost unbearable..."
Hearing these compliments, the man's mouth slightly raised, and he reached for the black iron mask placed to one side.
When you are ready to put it on your face.
suddenly!
As if he noticed something, he suddenly raised his head and looked to one side.
Behind the closed floor-to-ceiling curtains, against the light, I don't know when a blurry figure stood quietly.
The moment his eyes touched it.
Bang! Bang...
Intensive gunshots suddenly sounded.
Almost at the same time.
"Crash!!"
The sound of breaking glass also echoed throughout the house. A large hole instantly appeared on the curtain.
Red blood splashed onto it, making it a mess.
"——Ah!"
Several short and sharp screams of terror suddenly sounded in the room.
Bang!
The next moment.
The man suddenly stood up from the bed, quickly covered his head with his hands, and rushed toward the window like an angry beast.
boom!
Just heard a loud noise.
The ugly man just smashed through the floor-to-ceiling window on the third floor and fell heavily into the courtyard.
The ground paved with bluestones suddenly and evenly cracked several ferocious cracks under the huge impact force.
Tick tock! Tick tock!
Drops of bright red blood seeped out and fell to the ground.
Feel the pain on your face.
The man touched his face with his palms and saw traces of blood staining his palms.
He looked at his face reflected on the glass on one side.
I saw a few small iron beads inlaid on his face and body.
However, these iron beads only broke his outermost layer of skin and were blocked without damaging his muscles.
However, after seeing this scene.
However, the man seemed to have been greatly stimulated, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was filled with terrifying murderous intent.
Look directly at Hu Qi directly in front of you.
"My face, damn bastard, no matter who you are, I will definitely skin you, rip your bones out, and make you taste the price for daring to attack me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, strange changes occurred all over him.
The originally normal skin instantly turned blue-black, and under the light, the body surface shone like metal.
The body of nearly 1.9 meters suddenly expanded, reaching 2.56 meters. From a distance, it looked like an upright black bear.
The iron beads embedded in the face and body fell off due to the swelling of the facial muscles, making a slight sound when they landed on the ground.
Witness this scene.
Hu Qi's eyes flickered, and the information about this person he learned from Lu Shan quickly came to mind.
The leader of Rotten Leaf Settlement, his real name is unknown.
Because he is accustomed to tearing people into pieces and beating them to pieces with brute force when he attacks, his methods are bloody and cruel, and his defensive power is amazing, so he was nicknamed 'Iron Bear'.
At this moment, it seems that this title is appropriate.
At this moment, a low roar sounded, Iron Bear was like an out-of-control car.
Raise your fist as big as a sandbag.
Carrying the fierce wind, it crashed in with an unstoppable force.
Wherever he passed, a series of clearly visible cracked footprints were left on the ground.
Facing this ferocious blow, Hu Qi's eyes moved slightly.
Didn't choose to dodge.
He raised his hand to make luck, and the power of blood surged in his body, and then he punched hard.
See this.
Iron Bear The originally terrifying and ferocious look on his face became more intense.
Dare to fight with him, you are really asking for death.
He seemed to have seen the scene where the opponent's head was blown off by his punch.
Bang!
The fists collided heavily, the ground shook slightly, and the bluestone fragments under his feet shot out in all directions like hidden weapons, hitting the walls of the manor with a crackling sound.
Iron Bear The originally ferocious expression on his face froze instantly.
The moment the fists came into contact.
An overwhelming reaction force hit him, and he stumbled backwards involuntarily.
"You... are you also an evolved person? Are you from Thorn Settlement or Stone Hill Settlement?"
He raised his head and looked at Hu Qi, his eyes full of shock.
Hu Qi also took several steps backward.
But he ignored it.
Instead, she raised her head and looked at him, with a hint of interest in her eyes.
That look was like seeing something interesting.
"It's a bit interesting. It's comparable to Martial Dao Practitioner's physical defense, but the strength and reaction seem to be a little worse..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he directly activated the energy and blood sphere condensed in his chest.
The skin on the body becomes red quickly.
The body seemed to expand in a circle, reaching a height of two meters, especially the arms became thicker, like a giant ape.
Uh-huh!
Hu Qi Lift your heels and put your toes on the ground.
A circle of small ripples of air exploded and rippled.
And his figure turned directly into an afterimage and suddenly disappeared from the place.
When it appeared again, it was already in front of Iron Bear.
The palm of his hand was slightly raised, taking on the shape of a knife, entwined with the power of qi and blood.
Cracked down with a bang.
Hu Qi is too fast.
Iron Bear had no time to dodge.
He could only raise his hand and block it in front of his eyes.
Bang!
A loud noise, as dull as the clanging of fine iron, suddenly exploded in the courtyard.
Iron Bear's body trembled, and the ground under his feet was affected by a huge force, suddenly shattered and collapsed.
"The power is good, but unfortunately, it doesn't do anything to me..."
Iron Bear smiled ferociously.
However, he hasn't finished speaking yet.
A whip leg was like an afterimage, hitting him directly in the face, knocking his head back and almost falling to the ground.
The next second, Hu Qi's violent storm of attacks came violently.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Hu Qi's arms seemed to have turned into afterimages, constantly bombarding Iron Bear.
He said nothing and just kept punching.
A dull explosion echoed here.
Although Iron Bear has strong defense, it is not very fast due to its large size.
Faced with this kind of attack, he could only stand there helplessly roaring and furious.
Let Hu Qi continue to attack.
Ten seconds later.
Hu Qi's figure was shaken away.
Landed firmly on the wall on one side.
The reddish skin color on his body faded away, and wisps of white smoke seeped out of his pores.
The originally violent aura quickly dropped.
"What, you can't bear it anymore? Come on, keep going, are you tickling me?"
Iron Bear put down his arms, his eyes red.
The clothes on his body were torn, but other than that, there were no other injuries.
On the other hand, there were some broken skin and redness on the surface of Hu Qi's fist, and traces of blood dripped down his palm.
However, standing there and being beaten like a sandbag made the anger in his heart build up to the extreme.
He is waiting for an opportunity.
The other party should be a speed-oriented evolver, and it seems that he should use some special method unknown to him to increase his speed.
However, it seems that it has reached its limit now.
"Really?"
Hu Qi just looked at him calmly.
This kind of gaze was like looking at a dead person, which made Iron Bear feel extremely uncomfortable.
Just then.
There was a noise in the distant night.
Apparently there was too much movement here, which attracted the attention of the nearby Rotten Leaf Settlement guards and the hunting team.
See it!
Iron Bear shook his neck.
The ferocious smile on his face became even worse.
"I hope you won't kneel down and beg me later, I will... um..."
He was mid-sentence.
But he suddenly paused, his body as strong as a black bear staggered, and he half-knelt on the ground.
Immediately afterwards.
He opened his mouth and vomited a mouthful of blood.
The whole person's complexion instantly became as pale as paper.
"What on earth did you... do to me..."
Iron Bear spoke with difficulty, speaking intermittently, and every word seemed to use up all his strength.
A large amount of blood seeped out crazily from his seven orifices and pores, quickly infiltrating his entire body and turning him into a bloody man. The scene was shocking.
He clearly felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness and weakness, as if every ounce of strength in his body had been taken away.
Every muscle and every organ in the body was groaning in pain and suffering.
The originally tall and muscular figure was now like a deflated rubber ball, shrinking rapidly.
The blue-black, steel-colored skin gradually returned to its normal appearance.
At this moment, he didn't even have the strength to stand up, and he collapsed on the ground in a miserable state.
"Sure enough, it's just a layer of seemingly hard skin.
Although the internal organs, muscles and bones are stronger than ordinary people, they are still very limited, otherwise how could the reaction speed be so slow..."
Hu Qi ignored Iron Bear's inquiry, with a trace of thought in his eyes.
Just now, I noticed that this person's defense was comparable to Martial Dao Practitioner.
Understand that it is difficult to break through head-on.
Therefore, he used the fighting skills of beating a cow from across the mountain and drove a large amount of force into the opponent's body.
When these forces reach a certain Spirit Realm point in the body, they explode.
The damage caused would be devastating, destroying all the opponent's resistance in just an instant, if he didn't hold back.
At this moment, Iron Bear is probably dead on the spot.
Tread...
At this moment, there was a dense and rapid sound of footsteps approaching from far away.
The person who came was none other than the members of the guard and hunting team of Rotten Leaf Settlement.
There were more than thirty people, all of them strong and strong, holding firearms tightly in their hands and looking alert.
Just outside, they had discovered the two corpses of their companions, and knew that someone must have sneaked into the manor.
At this moment, when they saw the tragic scene in the manor, everyone's expressions couldn't help but froze, and their eyes were full of shock and fear.
"Give me, kill... kill him!!"
Seeing this, Iron Bear on the side held on to his crumbling body and roared orders at the top of his lungs.
After hearing this, everyone recognized that the embarrassed figure covered in blood in front of them was actually their usually powerful and invincible leader.
For a moment, some people showed hesitation and did not dare to act rashly.
After all, the leader was so powerful and was beaten like this. The man in front of them was an evolutionist at least. How could they dare to go up there.
However, there are also some people who are intimidated by Iron Bear's usual majesty and dare not disobey orders.
Liu Guang is one of them.
After seeing Hu Qi, he felt a little familiar, but he didn't think of it for a while.
Now, after hearing Iron Bear's order, as the Rotten Leaf Settlement guard chief who is deeply trusted by Iron Bear, the treatment and resources he enjoys in daily life are far beyond those of ordinary guards and hunting team members.
He knew in his heart that everything he had now depended on Iron Bear.
Once something happens to Iron Bear, he will lose everything he has.
Therefore, he just yelled.
"Brothers, what are you waiting for? Go ahead and kill him!"
After his encouragement, three or four people behind him also pulled the bolt, raised the gun and pointed it at Hu Qi, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Bang! Bang! Bang! ...
Fire splattered.
Under the thrust of the gunpowder in the barrel, iron beads shot toward Hu Qi like meteors, penetrating his figure, hitting the ground, and spattering dense craters.
The figure of Hu Qi disappeared without knowing when, leaving only an afterimage in place.
puff!
The next second.
Liu Guang, standing at the front, felt as if he had received a heavy hammer on his head.
The whole person flew out like a kite with its string broken, and hit the wall heavily on one side.
When he landed, his neck was weirdly twisted backwards at 180 degrees, and the back of his head was pressed tightly against his neck. He died on the spot.
The other people who shot at Hu Qi suffered the same fate. Their necks were instantly broken, their bodies twitched twice and then stopped moving.
Hu Qi's figure appeared again. He looked at the remaining people with an indifferent expression and asked calmly.
"Do you want to die or live?"
Seeing this scene, the remaining twenty or so men were immediately shocked.
Then, they quickly reacted and understood that life was right in front of them.
As a result, everyone knelt on the ground with a thump and shouted one after another.
"We want to live! We want to live!"
"Sir, spare your life!"
"It's all this damn Liu Guang, it has nothing to do with us!"
Hu Qi ignored these people and turned his attention to the first person among them to kneel down. It was a lean man who looked to be in his thirties.
He wore a pair of worn-out goggles around his neck, and his burgundy eyes were shrewd.
Under the high bridge of his nose, his chapped lips were pressed tightly together.
Clearly nervous.
"What's your name?"
Hu Qi asked.
"Sir, my name is Tong Chang."
The man quickly replied respectfully.
"Very good, from now on, you will take Liu Guang's position.
Everyone else went about their duties and acted as usual.
As for me, I am the leader of this place. Do you have any objections? "
Hu Qi glanced at everyone with a burning gaze.
"We are willing to follow the leader to the death, and we will fight to the death!"
Everyone immediately shouted in unison.
At the same time, I couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief in my heart.
It seemed like their lives were saved.
As for the objections, who are you kidding? They didn't see the body on the ground still warm. What opinions could they have?
No one felt any discomfort with this act of defection.
In this world, the most important thing is to survive first.
In the face of irresistible existence, obedience is a normal thing.
Someone with such a stubborn mind would be dead long ago.
aside.
Tong Chang looked even more delighted. He didn't expect it to be a blessing in disguise.
He said quickly.
"Thank you, sir!"
"Well, you guys clean up here."
Hu Qi ordered casually.
Then he found a chair and sat down to wait.
Soon, the men began cleaning the traces on the ground.
Iron Bear, who was on the ground beside him, could only watch the scene with eyes wide open.
Because of the severe internal injuries in his body, he had trouble even speaking, so naturally he couldn't do much.
"Hey, it hurts so much. If you do anything else, please bandage my wound!"
"Let go of all your dirty hands!"
"If you dare to treat us like this, when you see the leader, he will definitely skin you!"
At this time.
Several sharp and harsh noises came from the door.
Soon, three embarrassed figures with long hair and thin clothes were pulled out.
