Knowledge Limited Imagination
Team Battle day four, noon!
Last night's fighting caused quite a stir in the city. The government's explanation for the terrorists failed to satisfy the citizens. If it weren't for the presence of planes Tank everywhere, they would definitely have taken to the streets to demonstrate their democracy and human rights.
The city turned into a battlefield, and no matter how dissatisfied the citizens were, they had no choice but to evacuate. At first, they were reluctant, but when the government released the latest intelligence it had obtained, everyone rushed to flee.
There are nuclear weapons in the city; terrorists have transported a Negasonic Teenage Warhead into the city!
Whether it was true or not was unknown, and no one dared to gamble with their own lives. So, the citizens began to evacuate from the morning, and a large number of people poured out, blocking all the highways leading out of the city in just five minutes.
The military has set up checkpoints on highways and other sections of the road. If they encounter groups of three or five Asians, they will be taken away by soldiers.
In fact, the government didn't need to do this, because while the citizens could leave, the Reincarnator participating in the Team Battle could not. The main god set the city as a battlefield, and once the Reincarnator left the battlefield, they would explode into ashes on the spot.
The Supreme Supernatural Abilities this system of punishment to tell all Reincarnator that under its rules there are no deserters; even if you die, you must die on the road to victory!
Russell didn't leave the city; he had nowhere else to go. With Jason scouting ahead, he set up a convenience store as a temporary base. Everyone in the city was fleeing, so the supermarket was naturally empty, with all the doors and windows locked. As long as he didn't make a big commotion, he didn't need to worry about being discovered by the patrolling soldiers.
The entire city was under martial law; at the slightest sign of trouble, the army would deploy helicopters. Russell, guarding the convenience store and with Jason running errands, didn't have to worry about supplies like the other Reincarnator.
He was holding a newspaper and watching the news on TV in the convenience store office. Jason had brought the newspaper; it was the last local newspaper since the city went into lockdown, and the same was true for the TV news, as the local TV station had no signal.
Television stations in other cities barely mentioned last night's military operation, focusing instead on the nuclear weapons, making it impossible for him to gather intelligence through the news.
However, Russell knew that the battle between the Reincarnator would only last for two days at most, and would not stop because of the intervention of the army.
Because the main god will not let them stop, almost all the Reincarnator participated in the Team Battle last night were wiped out. Even those who escaped were in a desperate situation with negative Extremis due to the deaths of their teammates. These people have no way out and must fight to survive.
Russell sat in a chair carving Negasonic Teenage Warhead. Jason was sent out to patrol the area. If they encountered a lone Reincarnator, they were to kill him directly. If there were Reincarnator in a squad, they were to secretly kill one of them, making sure they had negative points as much as possible.
At this point, Russell had already racked up 80 kills, and the number was still slowly rising, with Jason contributing the majority of them. As for Russell himself, aside from showing off when he equipped the Kakashi and Ximen Chuixue Character Card, his biggest achievement was taking down 8 people with "I Love a Firewood".
Russell initially estimated that there were around 500 Reincarnator participating in this Team Battle, and conservatively speaking, at least 300 Reincarnator were eliminated last night, including the battles before last night.
Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap—
Suddenly, intense gunfire erupted from the street. Perhaps one of the Reincarnator had been discovered by the soldiers. Russell silently turned off the TV and went to the window to take a look.
It wasn't a single Reincarnator, but a small team. One of the users possessed Indestructible Body, his entire body gleaming with a metallic sheen. The distance was too great to determine whether he followed a martial arts path or possessed a special bloodline he had acquired through a transaction.
Regardless of the type, Indestructible Body is not invincible. A helicopter circled over, and after two Hellfire Missile, the Indestructible Body was buried in a pile of rubble and never rose again.
This squad was quite strong overall and inflicted heavy casualties on the soldiers, although it still could not escape the fate of being completely wiped out.
Russell watched for a while before turning his gaze away and sitting down to focus on carving bullets. The more Reincarnator died, the greater his advantage would be. If they were all surrounded and wiped out by the army, he would win without lifting a finger.
During this time, he also tested Hui Tailang's tattoo ability. The self-healing ability requires Magic Power, and the recovery speed can be subjectively controlled by him, depending on the amount of Magic Power input.
Naturally, the more severe the injury, the more Magic Power is consumed.
As for research capabilities, Russell couldn't help but come up with seven or eight modification plans as he held the Desert Eagle God, but due to limitations in materials and technology, they were still just ideas at the moment.
"No matter how you look at it, it all comes down to a lack of perspective. My limited knowledge restricts my imagination and my practical skills."
The three-dimensional world is not the two-dimensional world. You can't build a spaceship with a hammer. Russell had many ideas in his mind, but he didn't know how to turn them into reality. After pondering for a moment, he took out Magic Book from his Space Ring and began to recharge it.
Someone once said that knowledge is in books!
Whether it's science or magic, there's a prerequisite before making bold conjectures and cautious practices: having a sufficient foundation of theoretical knowledge. Otherwise, one can only ever conjecture and never make any further progress.
Even a prophet needs a convincing theory to prove that he is not just daydreaming!
Russell, fully focused on recharging, clearly forgot one thing: his mission, besides winning the Team Battle, was to evade the Grim Reaper's death trap within seven days...
At the end of the long street where the convenience store was located, three figures were hiding from patrolling soldiers. The woman in the lead seemed to have some special ability, always managing to evade the soldiers' sight at the last second.
"Captain, how's that convenience store?" the woman asked, turning around and pointing to the convenience store where Russell was hiding.
The convenience store was in a relatively remote location. Although it was somewhat conspicuous due to the recent battle, this very fact meant it wouldn't arouse suspicion, and no soldiers would approach it in the short term.
"As long as it's safe enough, nothing else matters!" A deep weariness flashed in the eyes of the man known as the captain.
Last night, their team also participated in Team Battle and, with great luck, wiped out an enemy team. Later, they were surrounded and attacked by the army, resulting in heavy casualties for the eight-person team. Thanks to the woman's abilities, they escaped. Only three members of the eight-person team remained. Fortunately, they still had a positive score of 1 point, so they didn't have to worry about punishment after the Team Battle ended.
Team Battle offer great rewards, but the risks are even greater. The man went from elation to despair, vowing never to participate in Team Battle again. Now, he has no other desires but to find a safe place to survive until the Team Battle ends. Even if he gains nothing, it doesn't matter; he'll just consider it a lesson learned.
The three of them crept towards the convenience store, and none of them, including the woman with special abilities, noticed that deep in the alley they had just passed, in a neglected pile of garbage, a pair of indifferent eyes slowly opened.
Hockey Mask and Great Cleaver —that's Jason!
With his indestructible Adamantium claws, Jason still relies on his Great Cleaver. Blind spots in the corners of walls and shadows at house corners can all serve as cover for him. It's hard to imagine that such a burly man can walk with such ease.
Ten meters, five meters, two meters, close range...
Jason approached the last remaining Reincarnator, raised his hand to cover his mouth, placed Great Cleaver against his neck, and forcefully pulled it back to wipe him.
The latter was completely unsuspecting, looking back every three to five steps, never expecting that someone would suddenly appear behind him.
The spray of blood and the hissing sound of leaking air startled the woman awake. She turned around abruptly and saw Great Cleaver coming straight at her. She was only a support ability user in the team and was not good at close combat. Faced with Jason's sudden attack, she didn't know how to dodge for a moment.
In the critical moment, the man suddenly slapped away the Great Cleaver. Jason's appearance surprised him, but the corpses of his teammates reminded him that his score had been reduced to zero. If another member of the team died, they would have negative points.
"Damn it, why didn't we find him?"
Annoyed, the man punched Jason in the chest, sending the heavy body flying backward and crashing to the ground, creating a deep crater. His ability was explosive; anything he hit would explode internally. That punch had shattered Jason's heart the instant he landed.
Rumble—
The worst-case scenario unfolded when a passing helicopter spotted the battle at the street corner, its machine guns spun rapidly, unleashing a barrage of fire.
The man pulled his teammate aside, turned around, and rushed into the alleyway next to him. As he left, he was shocked to find that the pit was empty and Jason's body had disappeared at some point.
"Captain, I can't sense him anymore. He's like Deadman, with no heartbeat, no breathing, and I can't even detect the activity of his cells."
"He handed it over to me. You are responsible for finding an escape route without any soldiers."
The sound of the machine gun was extremely loud, and the man knew that soldiers would soon arrive. To escape as quickly as possible, he had to take down the helicopter first.
The man took a deep breath, took out a dark, old-fashioned cannonball from his Space Ring, infused it with his explosive power, and threw it forcefully at the helicopter in the sky.
Using his abilities on himself, the man threw the cannonball, then pulled up the veins in his arm, grabbed the woman without looking back, and fled.
In the sky, the helicopter pilot saw a black dot rapidly approaching and instinctively swerved to avoid it. He was a step too slow; the shell struck the tail and exploded. The helicopter, billowing black smoke, veered wildly out of control in the air.
The crash site was... a convenience store!
