Assessment

Since Xie Haining dared to engage in close combat, he must have a certain level of confidence.

Xiao He observed silently, guessing that he might be able to learn something.

Even though Jin Shaokang was affected by the tranquilizer dart, his threat was not diminished, because his shadow was his main means of attack. After regaining his balance, Jin Shaokang raised his foot and kicked Xie Haining.

The moment Jin Shaokang raised his foot, Xie Haining dodged to the side, landing a kick on the ankle of the foot supporting Jin Shaokang's body, sending him flying into the air. Then, she ducked to avoid the delayed attack from Jin Shaokang's shadow, adjusted her body, and struck Jin Shaokang in the chest with a palm strike just before he landed.

After taking the blow, Jin Shaokang flew backward half a meter and slid to the ground, while Xie Haining leaped high and, using the momentum of her fall, slammed her right elbow heavily into Jin Shaokang's chest.

The blow was indeed quite heavy. Even though Jin Shaokang's body was stronger than that of an average person, he was still severely injured. He was beaten so badly that he arched his body like a shrimp, screamed, and then collapsed to the ground.

"..." Xiao He was silent for a moment, then shook his head. "What did I just see?"

This series is incredibly fast and fluid; even action movies that have undergone multiple edits don't achieve this level of smoothness. It's hard to imagine that an average person could perform these actions, and that there's no room for hesitation in connecting them seamlessly.

"That's fucking awesome!" Xiao He exclaimed excitedly, clenching his fist.

"Don't swear..." Ye Wanqing pinched his cheek and muttered.

"Right? He's very capable, don't underestimate him." Cui Man said with a smile, "Today's mission is to capture him alive, so he's only equipped with a tranquilizer gun. If we're really fighting on the battlefield and encounter an enemy with a strong physique like Iron Man, we'll equip him with more powerful weapons, and he won't be any worse than the enemy."

Now Xiao He understood why Cui Man was so confident: Xie Haining was someone who couldn't possibly make a mistake.

For others, the battle might be a real-time fighting game, but for Xie Haining, this game can be paused indefinitely.

As for physical fitness... it can be compensated for with fighting skills and weapons, so it's not a problem at all.

For example, Xie Haining used the Muay Thai "Hermit Throws Himself into the Lake" to finish the fight, relying on technique to put all the power of his body and his own weight into this elbow strike. Even in Muay Thai, this strike is considered a very powerful attack, capable of shattering a stone slab.

The power of mortals was greater than Xiao He had imagined.

"Chief Cui, mission accomplished." Xie Haining stood in front of Jin Shaokang and pressed his earpiece to say.

"Good job. Cuff him and bring him back," Cui Man replied, then turned to Ye Wanqing, "Change his name."

"Understood." Ye Wanqing nodded, then Cui Man added to Xia Yu, "You should also strengthen yours, just in case."

Xia Yu then opened the enhancement liquid and drank it. After everyone was ready, Cui Man instructed the police and special police officers on site, "It's done. Go arrest those smugglers. I'm taking this Mutant back to the Special Response Department."

"Yes, sir," the SWAT team leader replied, then ordered his subordinates to begin the arrest operation.

Soon, Xie Haining carried Jin Shaokang, now renamed "Lin Tiannan," back to the Helicopter to report. Xiao He's abilities were also activated. However, his strength was far less than when he fought against the Typhoon and flood, which made him a little unaccustomed to it.

Clearly, his abilities do indeed increase with strength and decrease with weakness; humanity is still too insignificant in the face of natural disasters.

"Let's go, take him back to the Special Response Department," Cui Man waved her hand and ordered.

Xiao He reached out and pulled him onto the Helicopter, where he was tasked with keeping an eye on Jin Shaokang's version of "Lin Tiannan" from the start. Of everyone present, he was undoubtedly the most suitable for the job.

"Are we trying to persuade him to the Special Response Department?" Ye Wanqing asked, looking at Jin Shaokang's tattoos with a hint of fear.

"Silly girl, how could it be that simple? The Special Response Department doesn't need every Mutant." Cui Man laughed, then ordered the Helicopter to take off.

After the Helicopter reached mid-air, Cui Man continued, "Once we get back, we'll conduct a psychological evaluation on him to see if he has any dangerous tendencies. If not, we'll implement a series of reforms and training programs, and then gradually integrate him into missions. But if there is a threat... he'll be kept under the name Lin Tiannan and imprisoned in a special prison."

"Specifically designed for Mutant?" Xiao He asked curiously. Cui Man nodded. "It has the highest level of security there, specifically designed for Mutant with violent tendencies who may threaten the public. Moreover, it's located in Beichang City, built on an island in a lake, allowing you to get there and suppress them as quickly as possible."

Xiao He was already imagining the scene in his mind: On a mysterious island in China, there was a prison that held a group of vicious criminals. But the criminals there had two things in common: first, they were all Mutant; second, they were all named Lin Tiannan...

"Hehe..." Xiao He couldn't help but chuckle awkwardly at the thought.

"So we all passed the psychological evaluation?" Xia Yu asked curiously, pointing to herself.

"Yeah, you naive kids probably don't even know when the evaluation was conducted, right?" Cui Man teased. "The Special Response Department doesn't just hire anyone. The key is being able to obey orders and not disrupt public order."

Upon hearing her words, Xiao He suddenly remembered that someone had asked him some questions that sounded like horoscope readings before they discussed the contract. Now that he thought about it, it seemed like it was a psychological assessment. They were indeed too naive.

But at this moment, Jin Shaokang suddenly woke up, and the first thing he did was kick Xia Yu, who was sitting opposite him. However, his foot had just been raised when Xiao He punched him on the head.

The punch seemed casual, but it made Jin Shaokang shudder, and then he collapsed into a ball of flesh in his seat.

"Behave yourself! We're on Helicopter." Xiao He frowned and said, "If you dare to cause any trouble, I'll break your legs."

"This... this is Yinglong?" Jin Shaokang was being beaten so badly that his eyes rolled back, blood gushing from his mouth and nose, looked like he was about to die. "The level difference is too great, he's too strong..."

After saying that, Jin Shaokang slumped down beside him, rolled his eyes, and stopped moving.

"You didn't kill him, did you? You were so rough," Ye Wanqing said, frowning.

"No! Look, he's still moving." Xiao He said, poking Jin Shaokang with his index finger. The man groaned, spitting out blood, as if something had broken off.

"That's an index finger jabbed out with the strength of a ten-ton arm and the power of steel..." Cui Man covered her mouth and muttered to herself with a hint of sympathy, "It should be about the same power as a gunshot, right?"
