Rader clutched his severed wrist, staring at Cheng Xiaofan with eyes wide as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight, his face a mask of fear and confusion.
He could never have believed that, with Cheng Xiaofan more than ten meters away, the latter had only to flick the knife in his hand.
And before it was even fully drawn, a flash of white light appeared, and the hand holding the ram’s horn fell to the ground, severed at the wrist.
“Cheng Xiaofan, how did you do it?” Rader shivered uncontrollably from the pain and asked.
Cheng Xiaofan sneered and replied, “My Demonic Bone Blade, since it can awaken the monstrous beasts in eighteen bronze coffins, it can naturally kill people invisibly.”
“I know you can control those gene-enhanced humans. Pick up that ram’s horn from the ground immediately and have those gene-enhanced humans retreat!”
“If you dare to disobey me, I will immediately make your head roll off your neck!”
“I’ll do as you say, I’ll do as you say…” Rader, terrified, said.
If his head was gone, would he still be alive?
If he lost his life, what good would finding the immortal gene code be?
At Cheng Xiaofan’s commanding words, Rader became as subservient as a grandson.
He immediately bent down, picked up the ram’s horn with his left hand, put it to his mouth, and blew, producing a sound like a ghostly howl.
And as expected!
Upon hearing the sound, the gene-enhanced humans immediately ceased their attacks and quickly retreated to the side.
Even so, in that short span of time, more than ten special soldiers from the Bureau of Martial Affairs had died at the hands of these gene-enhanced humans.
However!
These special soldiers had, after all, taken the pills refined by Cheng Xiaofan.
They had also killed more than ten gene-enhanced humans.
*Swish!*
Cheng Xiaofan drew the Demonic Bone Blade from its sheath.
These gene-enhanced humans from abroad were not to be left alive.
He had witnessed the might of gene-enhanced humans on an uncharted island in the East Sea. The effects of the pills were temporary, and if a fight were to break out again, the special soldiers would be no match for these gene-enhanced humans.
*Shua!*
He thrust the Demonic Bone Blade forward!
*Boom!*
The heads of hundreds of gene-enhanced humans rolled to the ground.
The gene-enhanced humans fell like wooden logs, all collapsing onto the ground.
In the instant everyone was stunned, Cheng Xiaofan thrust the Demonic Bone Blade forward again.
A red light flashed on the demonic blade, surging forward and covering the corpses of the gene-enhanced humans.
As Cheng Xiaofan sheathed the Demonic Bone Blade, the bodies of the gene-enhanced humans on the ground vanished without a trace.
It was as if the gene-enhanced humans had never appeared in the heart of this desert.
After dealing with these gene-enhanced humans.
The battle between the hidden black men and the desert wolves had also concluded.
Nearly a hundred desert wolves, being at a disadvantage, were all killed by the hidden black men.
However, the hidden black men also lost over three hundred of their own to the desert wolves.
“This… how could this be?” Rader trembled uncontrollably as he looked at everything before him, his clothes soaked with sweat.
He could never have dreamed that these gene-enhanced humans would simply disappear so inexplicably under Cheng Xiaofan’s Demonic Bone Blade.
Not even a trace was left behind.
Cheng Xiaofan heard this and coldly smiled, saying, “Rader, do you understand what I said now? I will definitely be the one laughing in the end, and you won’t have that chance!”
“……” Rader’s lips trembled at this point.
After a long while, he was still unable to utter a word.
At this moment!
The sky had already darkened.
A wind blew from the end of the desert towards them.
Though the wind was not strong, it was bone-chillingly cold.
After the recent turmoil, everyone’s stomachs were rumbling with hunger.
Cheng Xiaofan’s gaze fell on Zhou Zhizheng, and he asked, “Captain Zhou, did you bring any food when you rushed here this time?”
Zhou Zhizheng’s expression immediately turned very dejected. “We did, all concentrated in one helicopter. But just as we were approaching here, that helicopter malfunctioned in mid-air, exploded, and two special soldiers were sacrificed in vain!”
“Actually, you didn’t need to come at all!”
Cheng Xiaofan shook his head and said, “I could have dealt with the hidden black men and those gene-enhanced humans all by myself!”
Alas!
Their arrival had become a burden!
However!
Things had reached this point.
Complaining now was of little use.
He continued, “Captain Zhou, in this central desert area, due to the influence of the barrier seal, the weather is unpredictable. It’s estimated that it will snow again soon.”
“Have everyone gather here and dig holes along these sand dunes. When the time comes, we can huddle together, and it will be warmer.”
“Otherwise, we’ll freeze to death in the middle of the night!”
Zhou Zhizheng dared not delay. He immediately waved to the special soldiers and shouted, “Everyone, come here quickly! Dig holes along these sand dunes as Mr. Cheng instructed.”
“Be quick, it’s going to snow soon!”
The special soldiers had long heard that Cheng Xiaofan was a divine figure who walked among the clouds, and they knew his abilities were beyond ordinary people’s comprehension.
Whatever he said, it was sure to be correct.
Everyone rushed over, took out their short knives, and began digging along the sand dunes.
Rader was not foolish either. Seeing Cheng Xiaofan’s men digging holes along the sand dunes, he quickly beckoned to the disciples of the hidden black men, “Don’t just stand there blankly, dig holes quickly!”
The disciples of the hidden black men, not daring to compete with Cheng Xiaofan’s men for the sand dunes, found two sheltered ones nearby and also began digging.
The two groups, as if participating in a collective labor competition, vied with each other.
The hidden black men had more numbers, and their progress seemed significant, but their morale was clearly much lower.
Cheng Xiaofan’s display of power when eliminating the gene-enhanced humans had already left an indelible psychological scar on them.
Just as it became completely dark, both groups had finished digging their holes.
And at that moment, the wind picked up.
After a brief howl, the cold wind began to bring down heavy snow from the sky.
“Come, everyone, have some food. These are the ‘fruit ginseng’ I developed when I was in Zhuxi Village!” Cheng Xiaofan summoned a batch of fruit ginseng from his spatial storage and piled them in front of everyone.
Zhou Zhizheng reached out, took one, and with a *crack*, took a bite. After chewing a few times, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, “Wow, this fruit ginseng is delicious! Everyone, eat up!”
“It’s delicious, and once it’s in our stomachs, our whole bodies feel warm!”
“Good heavens, this is the best fruit I’ve ever tasted in my life!”
“This taste is heavenly!”
The special soldiers, after tasting the fruit ginseng, could not help but praise it loudly.
The snow fell harder and harder.
Before long, a thick layer of white snow had accumulated on the ground.
“Damn it, what kind of ghostly weather is this? Are they trying to wipe me out?” At this moment, an enraged curse came from a sand dune cave not far away.
