Chaos

The Azure Dragon Type 5 Battle Armor possessed extremely formidable combat capabilities, but it was also exorbitantly expensive. Ordinary Golden Core Realm martial artists simply could not afford a Combat Mecha. Moreover, every Combat Mecha required a large team for maintenance and repairs.

This Azure Dragon Type 5 Battle Armor was not Qian Ming's personal property, but an asset assigned to this Base City Security Department.

"Not good!"

The moment Qian Ming entered the hangar, he heard a faint click. A sense of foreboding instantly surged within him, and he activated his true qi, retreating rapidly.

Boom!!

Accompanied by an earth-shaking explosion, the hangar instantly erupted. The terrifying blast swallowed everything around it, forming a horrifying mushroom cloud over the Public Security Headquarters and devouring all in its path.

"It's time! Move!"

Inside a hotel far from the Public Security Headquarters, a man in black glanced at the mushroom cloud and immediately made a call.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Communication base stations throughout the Base City exploded one after another. In almost an instant, communications across the entire Base City were completely cut off.

Inside the marketplace.

"What's going on?"

"Why can't I make a call?"

"..."

Yang Lie was browsing the market, preparing to select materials for new Ferocious Beast Fruit, when he suddenly heard the discussion nearby.

"Can't make calls?"

Yang Lie froze slightly and took out his phone, only to find that it had no signal. A sense of foreboding immediately rose in his heart.

"Back to the residential compound! Aunt Fang is well-informed. She must know something!"

Yang Lie acted decisively. He ran straight out of the market and waved at a passing taxi.

The taxi sped past Yang Lie without slowing down in the slightest.

"Looks like even more people have caught the scent of danger!!"

Yang Lie went straight to a locked bicycle, crushed its lock with a squeeze, mounted it, and sped toward the Public Security Bureau residential compound at a terrifying speed comparable to that of a car.

Along the way, traffic filled the streets, and everyone wore panicked expressions.

"No one's here!"

Yang Lie opened the Qian Family's front door and immediately sensed with his sharp five senses that no one was home. His gaze swept over the room and landed on a note on the dining table.

"Ah Lie, the situation is critical. My dad sent people to pick us up! Get out of here quickly!! Escape inland!!"

There was only one hurried, scrawled line on the note, without even a signature. However, Yang Lie could guess that Qian Xiner had written it.

"The situation is critical! I can only run!! But before I leave, I can make a deal!"

Yang Lie went straight to the Qian Family garage, took out an ultra-alloy mountain bike, and rode off. In the hands of powerful martial artists like Yang Lie, whose physical abilities were off the charts, ultra-alloy mountain bikes could travel much faster than many sedans.

A mountain bike sped through the streets and alleys, quickly arriving at the beast meat freezing plant.

Yang Lie looked at the enormous beast meat freezing plant, a burning gleam in his eyes. "Finally here!! Leaving this beast meat here would only benefit the invaders for nothing. Only in my hands can this waste be put to better use!"

Beihe Base City was a city whose pillar industry was hunting Ferocious Beasts. Large numbers of Ferocious Beasts were hunted and brought back every day.

If those Ferocious Beasts were not frozen, they would rot and stink after some time. Thus, several enormous beast meat freezing plants had been built in Beihe Base City. Those massive freezing plants were all located together for easier management.

With a wave of his hand, Yang Lie fired out pebbles one after another, smashing every surveillance camera around the freezing plant. Then he brazenly broke into one of the enormous freezing plants.

The workers in the freezing plant had apparently received the news as well and had all fled, leaving the facility completely empty.

"Found it!! This is the enormous cold storage facility that keeps Ferocious Beast Meat from Fourth Order Ferocious Beasts and above!!"

Yang Lie arrived before an enormous cold storage facility. Looking at its tightly shut doors, a burning gleam flashed through his eyes as he directly unleashed Flood Dragon выхода в море, smashing it fiercely into the cold storage doors.

Clang!!

With a thunderous crash, Yang Lie's punch sent the cold storage doors flying open. Frigid air surged out from within, revealing vast quantities of frozen Ferocious Beast Meat.

"This is Fifth Order Ferocious Beast Meat!! There's so much, but it's already been butchered. It would've been better if they were whole Ferocious Beasts!"

Yang Lie saw the massive chunks of Ferocious Beast Meat in the cold storage facility, and a fiery glint flashed in his eyes. He reached out and touched the meat, storing it piece by piece inside his Small World.

Although only an intact Ferocious Beast corpse could grow Ferocious Beast Fruit, Ferocious Beast Meat was also extremely valuable. Eating it regularly could provide nutrients for martial arts cultivation.

Besides Ferocious Beast Meat, martial arts cultivation required spirit rice, Spirit Fruit, plant-based heavenly treasures, artificially synthesized Super Energy Nutrient Solution, top-grade Miraculous Elixirs refined by alchemists, and various other resources.

However, on Konghe Star, Ferocious Beast Meat was the most cost-effective martial arts cultivation resource. Fifth Order Ferocious Beast Meat was also hard currency and could easily be sold for a high price in any black market.

"Fourth Order Ferocious Beast Meat! What a pity, it's already been butchered!!"

"A complete Third Order Ferocious Beast corpse, excellent!"

"..."

Yang Lie moved through one cold storage facility after another, taking away enormous quantities of Ferocious Beast Meat and even many intact Ferocious Beast corpses. Ferocious Beasts above the Fourth Order had basically all been butchered, with every part of their bodies fully utilized.

Only some Third Order Ferocious Beasts had intact corpses; more had been butchered and used. As for Second Order and First Order Ferocious Beasts, there were many intact corpses, because the final profits from selling them whole versus butchering them were not very different.

An elite squad of eleven people, fully armed and dressed in Internal Affairs Department combat uniforms, arrived at the cold storage facilities.

Yang Lie happened to emerge from one of the cold storage facilities.

"Captain, look! Someone's there!!"

An elite soldier pointed at Yang Lie.

The elite squad's captain, Huo Bin, said coldly, "Kill him!!"

Huo Bin's squad had been ordered to guard the Ferocious Beast cold storage facilities, because from today onward, these facilities were the property of City Lord Luo Heng.

The ten elite soldiers immediately raised their heavy rifles and unleashed a frantic barrage at Yang Lie.

"People from the Internal Affairs Department!! You actually dare attack me. That means you must be human traitors colluding with the Evil God!"

Yang Lie directly activated the Vajra Skill. A faint layer of Vajra Force enveloped his entire body as he leaped forward and pounced directly toward Huo Bin's squad.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The dense rifle bullets struck Yang Lie's body, throwing off countless sparks before bouncing away. They could not even break through the defenses of his skin.
