Chapter 375: Rivers of Blood (Part 1)

~15 min read 2,862 words

Dungeon Civilian District.

Twelve hours after Duoer Kahn was taken out.

The special operations squad codenamed Leiting entered the incident area fully armed.

And immediately entered a search and combat state.

Every member of this squad was an elite veteran carefully selected by the Kaluo Federation military.

They had received at least over twenty years of professional training, and most of them possessed their own custom-made weapons and equipment.

In the past, they had even achieved illustrious Merit for the Kaluo Federation and many nobles.

This made many Dungeon Elites who learned that the Leiting Squad had also been dispatched—though they were unclear why that Kalosis had the ability to cause such a major operation—

However, since the Leiting Squad had been dispatched, it meant the Kaluo Federation was getting serious.

Next, no matter how big the matter was, it should subside from here on out.

Utilizing the convenience of the Personal Terminal to try and avoid casualties among innocents during conflicts was also one of their handling policies.

"This mission is special; the higher-ups want absolute certainty!"

Yet, unexpectedly, snakes have snake paths, and rats have rat holes.

Twenty hours after Duoer Kahn was taken out.

Leinsi personally led two team members holding shields, two holding Anesthetic Guns, and four holding live ammunition.

Pausing, Leinsi added:

"If the situation is bad, you don't have to hold back; use high-power ammunition."

At the same time, they broke through from the main entrance and the window direction simultaneously into the target room where the only living thing existed according to the Life Detector.

As multiple nobles expressed their importance regarding this matter.

The Dungeon would return to the good old days they were familiar with.

A dilapidated Apartment building with only six floors.

It had always been used as a warehouse and a temporary settlement point.

Leinsi brought over twenty old subordinates and, following the suggestion of an old friend, brought along heavy weapons capable of striking armored units.

At first, they felt they would spend a large amount of time searching for the other party.

The active gangs in the Dungeon also hurriedly took the initiative to approach and provided methods.

After these local snakes took action.

They discovered the hiding place of the suspected target person much earlier than many had guessed.

It was a 120-year-old white-haired handsome man who was still in his prime and could maintain healthy vitality for another forty years.

"According to the plan, regardless of whether the target is correct, first use Anesthetic Bullets to control them."

…………

Every space around the Apartment building entered the observation field of the Leiting Squad.

Although from beginning to end, no one had seen the other party's true appearance.

The team members holding Multi-barrel Machine Guns the thickness of half a person gripped their modified weapons even tighter.

This was also something notified repeatedly before departure.

Now, apart from the target, the fifth and sixth floors of this Apartment building only contained those mid-to-upper-level gang members who had gone and never returned.

The Captain of the Leiting Squad was named Leinsi.

This was also a method they often used when carrying out missions in the Surface City Area.

According to the data, the fifth and sixth floors of this Apartment building were both strongholds for that gang, and many rooms were connected to each other.

The members of the Leiting Squad nodded in unison.

"Understood!"

Several minutes later.

As long as a Captain still had thoughts of advancing further, none would forget this point.

Combining various details for analysis.

Thus, after receiving the news, Leinsi took his subordinates, who were wrapped from head to toe in Black Soft Armor, and quietly approached the stronghold by taking transport vehicles in the Civilian District.

But since they could not contact those mid-to-upper-level personnel who had entered the room.

However, at this point in time, Leinsi refused this proposal without hesitation.

And the bottom floor of the Apartment building was still occupied by Commoners.

And relying on the habit of Dungeon active gangs to mix sand into each other's affairs, they learned that a mysterious person was constantly making those subordinates buy food.

A squad member asked if they should use text messages or other methods to warn those Commoners to evacuate.

Regarding clues related to Kalosis, the responsible squads all held the mentality of "rather kill by mistake than let one go."

They discovered the abnormal situation of a certain accomplice.

After he entered the Dungeon Civilian District.

Bang bang bang!

The Leiting Squad fired Anesthetic Bullets at the first opportunity.

It was only after the gunshots that Leinsi, who had entered the room, saw the scene inside clearly.

It was a room cleared of furniture, leaving only a table piled with food scraps and trash, and a tall man in a trench coat sitting cross-legged on the floor, his upper body visible as he buried his head in eating on the tabletop.

Even though the gunshots rang out.

It did not affect the man in the trench coat from stuffing a large piece of compressed biscuit into his mouth.

After chewing a few times, he swallowed it into his stomach.

Where were the anesthetic bullets?

A flash of doubt crossed Leinsi's mind, and he immediately issued an order through the communication device in his helmet:

"There's a problem! Don't hold back, fire first and break the target's limbs!"

Hearing the order, the four attackers raised the automatic rifles in their hands, which looked like rectangular blocks.

Yet, at the very moment they prepared to fire.

They only felt a blur before their eyes!

The next instant.

Including Leinsi, the members of the Leiting Squad who had entered the apartment all went limp and collapsed to the floor in unison.

It was Su Ping, who had already caught those anesthetic darts with his hand and returned them to their owners.

One has to admit, the official anesthetic effect of this Kaluo Federation is indeed good.

Su Ping noticed Leinsi, the only one still struggling with traces of self-conscious fluctuation.

He stood up and grabbed the helmet.

Not knowing how to take it off, Su Ping chose to break the technique with brute force; after crushing the helmet, his divine sense invaded the other party.

Instantly, the intelligence data of the Leiting Squad and Leinsi entered Su Ping's mind.

Su Ping also saw how a Federation military Elite from a Commoner background gradually became a useful tool in the hands of the Noble.

He also glimpsed from it that although the Kaluo Federation had not fallen apart.

It was already no longer the Federation that had unified the Kalo Civilization, led the entire civilization to break through the shackles of gravity, and built the Spaceport back then.

The rights and obligations on the surface of the Kaluo Federation still existed.

But in secret, the power had long since been hollowed out.

Nowadays, the high-level officials on the surface of the Federation were more like paper-patchers pushed forward by various forces.

Additionally, Su Ping also discovered from Leinsi's memories.

The exploration of Other-dimensional Space seemed to have formed an important foundation for the existence of the Kaluo Federation.

It was precisely because of certain benefits obtained from the Other-dimensional Space that the Federation remained a Federation.

It was also a major reason why the vast majority of forces recognized and provided support to maintain its power!

"Heh, to those people, wealth has already become just a numerical symbol."

"What can make so many people work together is probably just health and longevity."

"Have they found a way to utilize those members with semi-awakened Spirit Roots using technological means?"

Su Ping let go of his hand, and as he released his divine sense, he observed the locations of the other Leiting Squad members outside the apartment.

He smiled, his figure moved, and he appeared outside the door.

His appearance immediately made the Leiting Squad members outside extremely nervous.

"Target is intact!"

"Where is the Captain? What happened to the Captain and Old Te and the others?"

"Don't know, life signs are still there, but the situation is very wrong, forget it, fire immediately!"

The Deputy Captain who stayed outside frowned and had just opened his mouth.

When he discovered that the target person at the door had suddenly disappeared.

Teleportation?

No, it was that the speed was too fast for the naked eye to keep up!

"Damn it!"

The Deputy Captain, startled by his own guess, soon heard the screams of his team members coming from the communication device.

Following that, some of the team members began to fire wildly in fear.

But the result was that these firing team members encountered the black shadow that appeared like a teleportation even faster.

And then their entire bodies were sent flying.

Their bodies were like rags, drifting through the air and landing in the streets and alleys outside the apartment building.

Such a huge commotion also frightened the Commoners, who realized something was wrong and walked out of their homes.

The Deputy Captain's pupils shrank when he saw this scene, and he was just about to say something.

When he discovered that a tall man in a black trench coat had suddenly appeared on the rooftop vantage point where he was located.

And was looking curiously at the Electromagnetic Sniper Rifle in his hand:

"Is this the Electromagnetic Sniper Rifle that can penetrate even main battle armored units?"

"It looks like the power isn't bad, it's a pity... the person is not."

After the man in the black trench coat finished speaking, he had already grabbed the back of the Deputy Captain's neck.

And then, before the other party had time to speak.

He threw the other party out like a cannonball.

It crashed straight into a transport vehicle they had arrived in with a boom, causing an explosion and a small mushroom cloud rising into the air.

Hum!

In the next breath after the annihilation of the Leiting Squad.

A whistling sound came from high above.

Several Small Missiles were fired from under the Drone.

They hit the rooftop where Su Ping had been earlier.

Judging from the speed of the missiles.

The force controlling the Drone had ignored the existence of the Leiting Squad's Deputy Captain from the very beginning.

It was just that Su Ping had already left the scene after throwing the Deputy Captain.

He did not take the other party's weapon either.

The weapons of these mobile squads of the Kaluo Federation are all custom-made.

Only users with pre-loaded authorization can use these weapons.

It is just that as his physical fitness continues to improve.

For Su Ping, even flying flowers and plucked leaves have already become terrifying weapons in his hands.

Divine sense locked onto the flying object in the distance.

Su Ping flicked a coin.

Boom, boom, boom!

It took less than a second.

Thousands of meters away, above a factory where hundreds of local thugs were gathering, five Drones were destroyed right before their eyes, turning into large fireballs and falling down.

The group of people was so frightened that they immediately scattered and fled.

Some local thugs who had brought their subordinates over for the reward.

Also had their pupils shrink, feeling incredulous.

They also realized that this was not a war that they, guys holding cold weapons, could get involved in.

The local thugs who did not know the situation regarding Kalosis.

Even began to suspect whether two major forces from the Ground World were about to resolve their conflicts in this area of theirs.

Meanwhile.

After learning the news that the Leiting Squad had been completely wiped out.

The remaining squads all accelerated their speed in rushing over and displayed a posture of encirclement.

Expert groups also immediately analyzed the live video and information from the Leiting Squad.

And after discovering that Kalosis had displayed astonishing speed and power.

While astonished, they also began to exclaim in admiration one after another.

"God, this must be the perfect human being He created."

"His entire body is full of precious treasures; how could we destroy it? I suggest negotiating with him and letting us conduct protective research on him."

An expert couldn't help but offer a suggestion.

The result was naturally a rejection and a warning!

The Kahn Group had already truly felt Kalosis's hostility toward them; they now only wanted Kalosis to die, or better yet, to suffer a fate worse than death.

A perfect human?

In the affairs of the world, if there is one, there must be a second.

As long as they find out the secret of Kalosis.

They believe that in the future, they and other such noble people will be the true perfect humans.

In the Civilian District.

More squad members rushed in.

They had no idea how terrifying Kalosis was.

They even thought that although the Leiting Squad had been wiped out, given their elite level, they should have depleted Kalosis somewhat.

They were rushing over now, actually to take advantage and steal the credit!

Then.

They didn't even encounter Su Ping himself before they hit a brick wall.

After Su Ping finished off the Leiting Squad.

He openly smashed open the factory gate, and after punching and kicking away the core members of the gang inside.

He opened the door to the Underground Basement and saw a giant black snake locked in a cage inside.

This is a specialty black snake from the Kalo Civilization.

It has horns on its head, its scales are harder, and its body size has reached over twenty meters.

It is a protected animal of the Kaluo Federation.

It is just that when someone expressed a need for this kind of animal.

It was captured and transported here.

Su Ping could feel that this kind of black snake, like those sea fish, were all anomalies lacking an environment with Spirit Qi.

Su Ping naturally would not provide Dharma Power to let it become a snake spirit.

Su Ping himself did not have enough Dharma Power to go around.

He just had a thought and used a bit of Dharma Power within his body as a primer.

After using his divine sense to invade this black snake.

He utilized a Side-Door Path method with reference value obtained from another Small World.

Making it transform into a Shadow giant snake possessing low-level Shadow of the Abyss supernatural abilities.

And brain-controlled its actions.

Although such a Shadow giant snake, if placed in the Cultivation World, would only count as a Demon Beast at the Qi Refining Middle-Late Stage.

And its existence was focused on the aspect of stealth, so it might not necessarily be a match for an Outer Sect Disciple of the same rank in the Cultivation World in a one-on-one fight.

Placed here in the Kaluo Federation.

Just the ability to lurk and move within the shadows.

Combined with its body size and strength that exceeded that of ordinary people.

It was enough to serve as a monster with sufficient strength under Su Ping's command to deal with those mosquitoes that kept buzzing over.

A few minutes later.

In a small alley near the Apartment building.

The Liehuo Squad, whose reputation was second only to the Leiting Squad, encountered a sudden attack.

A team member was suddenly dragged underground.

A team member leaning against a wall in terror was suddenly pulled into the wall itself.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As another team member was pulled into the wall, the Captain of the Liehuo Squad fired fiercely, directly blasting apart the wall to the side.

Then, he and his team members looked on with grim expressions at the severed limbs of their teammate mixed in with the bricks and stones.

"What... exactly is this monster we are fighting?"

The Captain muttered to himself, then suddenly thought of something and abruptly lowered the power setting of his weapon.

After blasting away the outer wall of another side.

They saw the remains of their other team members.

They were team members who had lost all their moisture, looking like mummified corpses.

Then, before they could recover from their fear.

Seeming to have discovered that this was a good opportunity to attack.

A black vortex suddenly appeared from the ground.

A giant snake, pitch-black all over and looking blurry and distorted, suddenly extended its upper body from the ground.

Looking down at the targets below, it opened its mouth and spewed out black mist.

In an instant, it engulfed the few remaining members of the Liehuo Squad.

This entire process, in fact, was completed in a single breath.

So much so that the Liehuo Squad was unable to react throughout the entire event.

A Drone in the sky did notice and proceeded to project firepower.

But it was also dodged when the Shadow of the Abyss giant snake, having sensed the danger, lurked back into the ground ahead of time.

And as explosions occurred everywhere, flames shot up into the sky.

Commoners also received warning messages and began to evacuate, either voluntarily or by force.

And as the situation worsened.

The evacuation zone was also constantly expanding! Expanding further!
