Chapter 182: Down Payment

Amidst the shaking of the mountains, a large amount of mud and rubble rolled down from the top of the mountain.

In the raging mud torrent, the ground cracked, and a slender and sharp limb slowly extended from directly in front of the field of vision.

Then the second, third, fourth...

Amidst the hissing, dust filled the air, and a huge outline appeared in front of the motorcade.

It was like a strange stick insect, only magnified thousands of times, so that a single leg was hundreds of meters long. Its whole body was covered with a shell, tentacles were dancing wildly on its head, and limbs were smashing on the ground, drawing deep gullies.

It was as if it had been angered, attacking everything living it saw in a frenzy.

"Disaster Beast?"

Ji Jue poked his head out of the car window, holding binoculars, peeping at the behemoth in the distance. It's a pity Xiao Jiu isn't here, otherwise, he could share the vision.

But besides sharing vision, she was temporarily useless.

As a "good girl" left behind by Mercury, she didn't look like she had any combat power, and couldn't even grab the remote control from Little Niu Ma. To avoid some monster in the underground cave swallowing her in one bite, Ji Jue didn't dare to bring her out. She was left in the workshop, letting her urge Ye Chun to study hard and write papers.

In the adjustment of the binoculars' focus, the giant in the distance gradually became clear, but in fact, it was almost unnecessary to use binoculars. The enraged Disaster Beast was already galloping over amidst the dancing of its limbs!

The strong wind blew in his face, carrying a faint stench.

As if a proboscis-like wriggling tentacle shot out, it rolled up half a truck and fell into its mouth, chewing and breaking it.

Disaster Beast.

A genuine Disaster Beast!

In this day and age, wilderness disasters are rampant, and people can only gather in cities. And between various big cities and small cities, besides earthquakes and storms, the most terrifying thing in the wilderness is probably this kind of monster out of specifications.

Sometimes it is a beast tide that can't see the end, and sometimes, it is this kind of disaster object that chases the beast tide and never knows satiety!

People can become Chosen by coincidence, and in the wilderness full of crises, under the influence of Supreme Good invocation or Evil Ignorance pollution, I don't know when such a ghost thing will emerge.

After encountering it, ordinary people have no way at all except to run faster and pray that it is not too hungry today.

But... this is the military's motorcade!

After seeing the situation clearly, Ji Jue didn't panic at all. He originally hesitated whether to take advantage of the chaos to pluck some materials back. After all, being able to grow to such a size, maybe there are Supreme Good blessings or other precious organs.

But he hadn't had time to react before he saw the metallic light shooting out from the rapidly lowering airship!

Amidst the roar, it fell from the sky!

Not a missile, but a war machine more threatening than a missile.

—A genuine military power armor!

Ji Jue's drool was about to flow out.

A genuine power armor!

You know, no matter how old, broken, or trashy the model of the power armor is, in the military's weapon library division, it is an A-level that Ji Jue can't touch at all!

As for the main models and special airframes currently in service, they can't even be searched!

One knock on the car, and an alarm will pop up immediately.

The six-person team that landed at this moment was a standard "Terror Quick Reaction Group," two "Qiongqi," two "Tengu," one "White Tiger," and one "Chongming"!

One by one, power armors over three meters tall fell to the ground amidst the jet of flame, and then picked up the machine cannons with exaggerated calibers and started firing. The fire chain swept and slashed, instantly leaving deep cracks on the hardened shell, and liquid sprayed out.

And under such terrifying recoil, they could still run wildly with ease.

And while still in mid-air, the unlanded "Chongming" had already started fire guidance. In less than half a minute, missiles from the Yacheng garrison base had already galloped over, hitting the Disaster Beast's face, air waves rolled, and the storm spread.

The fishy blood sprayed out like a rainstorm.

Power, speed, reaction, and firepower, everything was raised to an unimaginable height under the blessing of power armor. And what Ji Jue cared about more was the "White Tiger" that had been standing in front of the motorcade protecting the target without taking action from beginning to end.

Under the shroud of blood and fire, the spiritual quality fluctuation was unshakable, unmoved as a mountain.

The aura of a pure "Great Group" without a trace of flaw!

That is a Chosen cultivated by the military itself!

Under the massive firepower and siege, the arrogant and huge Disaster Beast was quickly broken limb by limb, and then broken at the waist, and the stench spread.

But the vitality was stubbornly outrageous, still struggling endlessly, the broken proboscis opening and closing desperately, wanting to tear everything in front of it.

Until the end, the blue-purple electric light manifested in the sky!

Amidst the faint electric light all over the sky, the Chosen who didn't know how long he had been accumulating power rose into the sky, waved his hand downward, and suddenly the dazzling fierce light gathered into a beam and pierced downward!

The thunder light that was almost connecting heaven and earth became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Amidst the dissipating hissing, the burnt smell spread with the fallen Disaster Beast.

In mid-air, the Chosen looked down at his results and couldn't help but curl his mouth, smiling contemptuously.

A mere Disaster Beast, nothing more.

It's just that, from the overlooking, he seemed to see a familiar face, was stunned for a moment, and then looked closely, the smile instantly froze on his face.

Couldn't help but...

Twitch!

And in the motorcade, Ji Jue put down the binoculars in his hand.

No wonder this battle was so familiar.

An old acquaintance.

"Oh, isn't this Team Leader Yu?"

He whispered: "Long time no see."

Team Leader of the Second Department of the Yacheng Anquan Bureau, in charge of the Lihua District, the protective umbrella behind the guys like Jiang Jin, the Entropy-system Chosen who almost killed him on the spot with a blow of anger, Yu Hanguang!

He turned his head and looked at the self-propelled artillery behind the motorcade.

Rare opportunity...

Should I have a misfire?

It's a pity that the self-propelled artillery said he wasn't feeling well today, so the fire didn't happen.

Mainly, there were too many people present, and who knows how many were staring. And the effect of "Mechanical God Descent" is not difficult to check. Once he made a move, even if Yu Hanguang died on the spot, it would be difficult to clean up the evidence.

Ji Jue sat in the car, pondered for a long time, and only hoped that this time Yu Hanguang was not only responsible for the security of the motorcade, but also participated in the underground cave blockade...

Only then would there be a chance to die by suicide with more than a dozen shots in the back.

It's just a pity that there is still little hope.

Still have to wait.

The "Sin-Change Bullets" were consumed in the Rift Realm, and they are not enough now. Later, he has to catch two more "Great Groups" to cultivate...

To deal with the Entropy-system Chosen with the strongest destructive power, one should prepare a plan first, set up a trap, kill with one blow, and it is best to prepare poison, curses, or others.

At the current stage, there is no opportunity to make a move...

At the very least, after the Metamorphosis Rank.

Ji Jue pondered, returned to the car, and didn't worry that he would dare to do anything.

After all, the teacher is in the car in front. If Ji Jue loses a hair, he will enter the material processing flow today.

It's just that, what he didn't expect was that, amidst the long wait for cleaning up, his car door was knocked.

When he looked up, he saw the face he had just seen in the sky.

Yu Hanguang!

Actually came to the door!

It's against the sky!

I haven't found trouble with you yet...

Ji Jue pressed toward the steering wheel, and the machine gun in the cargo box had already been loaded automatically, aiming successfully under the observation of the camera.

But what's even more coincidental is that outside the car window, Yu Hanguang's expression was as stiff as his, and even more weird...

It was as if he was trying very hard to squeeze out a smile, but the smile was not very successful.

There is a beauty like mourning a funeral.

Noticing that he was aimed at, his eyelids twitched slightly, but he didn't make a move, but seemed to try harder to start smiling... the smile was even uglier!

Until the car window lowered.

Ji Jue looked at his almost convulsing expression, suspicious, guarded, and tentatively opened his mouth: "Team Leader Yu, long... time no see?"

"Yes, yes." Yu Hanguang nodded stiffly, his voice dry.

Silence, another long silence.

Ji Jue frowned, "This is... busy?"

"Yes, yes."

Yu Hanguang nodded frantically, his expression twitching more severely, stuttering, as if broken.

"Something?"

"Yes, yes..."

In the embarrassment that was too bad, he finally stopped repeating, but the frequency of his expression twitching was like an electric shock, stuttering:

"Last time... meeting... the etiquette was not very good... that... some thin gifts, please forgive me, Mr. Ji... I... won't disturb you... if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely visit to apologize, definitely!"

Saying that, as if afraid that Ji Jue would refuse, he left a box and hurried away with his head down.

Ji Jue hadn't even reacted yet.

When he poked his head out, he couldn't even see the taillights.

He didn't even get the chance to shoot two shots in the back.

This is too outrageous!

And on the box left in place, there were still bloodstains from the previous Disaster Beast.

After opening it, it was a piece of bone that shone with silver light like metal, only having undergone some craftsman's pre-processing, maintaining the original flavor.

Once opened, the dreamlike spiritual quality mist had already risen, entering a state of overflow.

What made Ji Jue feel even more demonic was the aura that emerged from that piece of Disaster Beast bone...

—Wilderness Blessing · 【Quality of Gold and Iron】!

Actually still a material containing the Disaster Beast's native blessing?!

Ji Jue was confused.

What the hell? The weasel came to pay a New Year's call?!

But it's not the New Year yet?

Three minutes later, Little Niu Ma honked frantically outside the RV.

The scolding became dirtier and dirtier.

In the RV, Ji Jue sat opposite Professor Ye, handed over the box, explained the cause and effect, then shrank his head and sat upright obediently.

From beginning to end, Professor Ye just lowered her head and wrote and drew in her notebook, too lazy to even raise her head.

After listening to Ji Jue, she looked up and glanced at the box: "For you?"

"I guess not."

Ji Jue shook his head decisively.

Even if he thought with his heels, the previously arrogant and domineering Anquan Bureau Lihua District Team Leader couldn't possibly grit his teeth and come to bow and apologize to himself now.

But thinking about it, the only possibility was the teacher's face.

Either Sister Wen is about to achieve divine power, about to push eight hundred invincible hands, those old demons and clowns are vulnerable, kneeling and begging for mercy, Yu Hanguang is afraid of not being able to kowtow, wanting to burn incense from him to pray for face.

But no matter whose face it is, it's not his own.

He'd better not think that cheap things fall from the sky and take them without incident.

And Professor Ye just took a look and withdrew her gaze, uninterested: "Ordinary goods, take it."

"Quality of Gold and Iron" is also a common blessing in the Wilderness system, just like the "Great Group" three-piece set, almost a rotten street configuration. Whether the operation is smooth or not, and whether it can be used, all depends on the individual.

Its effect is to improve the hardness and strength of the carrier through spiritual quality injection, literally turning the human body into gold and iron, invulnerable to swords and swords.

Wilderness Chosen with this are hard on hard, and their tankiness is greatly improved.

For craftsmen, it is also a good blessing material, mainly because it is common, there are too many design schemes, no need to worry at all, usually used to make armor or protective props. The sales are also wide, no need to worry about buyers at all.

Even if there are more than ten layers of shields all over the body, it doesn't hurt to add one or two more layers.

"If you want it, take it, if you find it troublesome, throw it away."

Professor Ye said indifferently: "If you don't intend to take it for nothing, you can hit him lighter in the future, leave a breath, it counts as giving face."

Ji Jue pondered for a moment, couldn't help but shake his head:

"Always feel like I lost."

Although Team Leader Yu was really handsome when he shouted "little bastard" and waved a thunderbolt at him back then but failed to kill him, now sending a blessing to him and wanting to pretend that nothing happened is too naive.

When his level goes up in the future, he will kill you, aren't all the blessings on your body his?

Isn't it better than this thing?

"Then let him take out more."

Ye Xian turned a page in her hand, continued to write, and said indifferently: "A dignified district team leader, apologizing also needs to show some sincerity. Taking three melons and two dates to fool ghosts?"

"Yes."

Ji Jue's eyes lit up instantly.

As the saying goes, grievances should be knotted rather than solved, having more friends means more paths!

Today's friend fee, accept it for now—

As for the Lihua District being so big, the business district being so prosperous... after so many years, Team Leader Yu must have made a lot, right?

Ji Jue thought for a while and took down the loaded "Sin-Change Bullets."

The down payment is low, just low. The gap for him to build a workshop in the future is still quite large, so he has to be wronged a little.

Thinking of this, Ji Jue couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

It seems that for a moment, the high-spirited, family-killing youth time seemed to be a step further away from him. He had already learned the benevolence of taking money to spare lives, the patience of flowing water, and the broad-mindedness of killing the whole family later in the mature and despicable adult world.

This is probably the price of growth?

"By the way, Teacher, can I borrow Brother Ball?"

Ji Jue picked up the box, already impatient.

Ye Xian waved her hand, and the Ghost Work Ball fell into his arms. She was still focused on the paper, writing and drawing, too lazy to care about him: "Before arriving at the station, don't come to disturb me again, annoying."

"Okay!"

Ji Jue nodded and bowed, picked up Brother Ball and the box, and ran away in a puff of smoke.

Next, in the quiet driving, no one made a sound again. After the silent chef served the food, the food gradually turned cold, and soon, new hot dishes were served, replaced, round after round.

By her side, the tea was at room temperature.

Until she finally finished writing what was in her hand, closed the notebook, and looked up.

Outside the window, in the deep night, at the end of the winding mountain road, starlight-like lights gradually emerged.

And even further away, hallucinatory neon and lights.

Right in front of the underground cave front observation station, in that piece of darkness that should have been void, dazzling and noisy lights flickered, traffic was like water, and it was still prosperous.

The curtain of brilliance covered the dust and withered bones, unable to see the ruins and cracks.

After decades, the mirage scene left by the former Quancheng manifested again.

Just like the lingering echo of the wailing.

From the darkness, echoing forever. ===== CHAPTER 183 =====
