Gunshots and explosions echoed in the distance, emanating from the city center. Shen Feng and Yue Hengyi could clearly hear them, but neither paid much mind. It was just a turf war between some factions, and it had nothing to do with them.
However, at that moment, shouts of battle erupted near the office building where Shen Feng was located. Shen Feng frowned and said, "Little Yue, go take a look. I have a feeling the fighting is spreading towards us."
Yue Hengyi was also somewhat displeased. Even if it was a turf war, the current scale seemed a bit too much.
He walked to the outside of the office building and was the first to see a group of people wearing red hats in the distance, holding guns and driving away the crowds. These people wore red hats, while those without them had their heads wrapped in red scarves. They were continuously firing their weapons.
"Bang bang..." Bullets flew wildly on the street. Survivors were shot dead on the spot. Bullets pierced their backs and exited their chests, spewing out a mixture of blood and internal organ fragments. These people had met an unjust fate, not dying at the hands of zombies, but at the hands of their own kind.
"What are you doing? A turf war is one thing, but why are you killing innocents?" Yue Hengyi felt a surge of disgust upon witnessing this scene. If it were just a conflict between bases, it would be understandable, likely over territory or the desire to control the city. He had seen such things before and felt little. But now, these people in red hats were indiscriminately slaughtering civilians, which was simply too much.
Yue Hengyi spoke in Chinese, and these people naturally couldn't understand him. Thus, a group wearing red hats directly aimed their guns at Yue Hengyi.
Yue Hengyi dared not confront the bullets head-on. He quickly dodged, evading to the side, and then charged forward, unleashing his ability: "Five Times Gravity Field!"
The gravity field instantly enveloped the thirty-odd people wearing red hats. Ordinary people felt the weight of two times gravity to be immense, but with the appearance of the five times gravity field, these people were immediately pinned to the ground, unable to move. Only their fingers could be slightly manipulated.
Shen Feng walked out of the office building and witnessed Yue Hengyi's actions. He couldn't help but ask, "Little Yue, what happened?"
Yue Hengyi pointed at the group of people crushed to the ground and said, "Brother Feng, these people deserved to die. It's one thing for them to fight, but at this moment, they are still massacring civilians!"
"Leave one alive and kill the rest!" Shen Feng said calmly.
Yue Hengyi immediately struck with lethal force, stomping on these people's bodies. Each stomp could cave in a person's chest, shattering their ribs and sternum, killing these brutal butchers on the spot.
When only one person remained, Yue Hengyi withdrew the gravity field. This person finally felt a sense of relief. While being crushed, they couldn't breathe at all, but now, liberated, they gasped for air.
"Lu Zhengqi, ask him why they are killing civilians," Shen Feng asked Lu Zhengqi to translate.
Lu Zhengqi quickly inquired. The man in the red hat, seeing the situation turn unfavorable, quickly shifted blame, saying, "I'm not the one doing this. It's our boss's order. Our boss said it's better to kill the wrong person than to let anyone go. Our boss is named Franklin!"
"I didn't expect this guy to be so brutal. I misjudged him!" Yue Hengyi gritted his teeth.
Shen Feng thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the building to check it out. If it's truly a heinous villain, then we'll act. This is the only thing we can do before we leave!"
Yue Hengyi nodded quickly, then grabbed the head of the man in the red hat and twisted it forcefully, snapping his cervical spine. With the cervical spine broken, the nerves and blood vessels within the vertebrae also severed, killing the man instantly. Even though he had shifted the blame, Yue Hengyi could not spare him.
As Shen Feng and Yue Hengyi moved closer to the city center, someone suddenly rushed out from the side. Upon closer inspection, it was Wang Jiaoe.
Wang Jiaoe said breathlessly, "Mr. Shen, Mr. Yue, please help me. A group of people suddenly rushed out and are killing and setting fires everywhere. Moreover, there are ability users among them. Hundred Year Orchid has already been shattered!"
Shen Feng glanced dismissively at Wang Jiaoe and said, "Do you understand now? Only powerful strength can protect interests. Otherwise, even with abundant interests, they will only be snatched away by others!"
Wang Jiaoe nodded repeatedly and replied earnestly, "I understand, Mr. Shen. I know my previous shortcut was wrong. I promise, after this crisis is over, I will definitely build city walls, establish factories, and form an army to strengthen ourselves. But for now, please help me one last time!"
Shen Feng did not agree to this request. Instead, he continued to advance towards the building. He needed to trust his own eyes.
However, as he approached the government building, Shen Feng already sensed something was wrong. The fires in the city were too intense. Amidst the billowing smoke, countless people were fleeing in all directions. In the distance, many gunshots could be heard, and the city was in chaos.
There were many corpses on the street, both women and children. They had thought they could live safely after returning to the city, but now, they died in the chaotic situation. Even Wang Jiaoe could only flee everywhere.
Shen Feng took a deep breath and said, "Little Yue, let's go talk to the ability users first and ask them to stop the killing. If they don't agree, then we'll have to resort to physical persuasion!"
The two walked at the forefront. Some people in red hats opened fire at Shen Feng and Yue Hengyi. Shen Feng did not dodge or evade, unleashing his "Wind King Barrier" to block the bullets. Then, two wind blades shot out, directly ending the lives of these wicked individuals.
Behind Shen Feng and Yue Hengyi followed Lu Zhengqi and Wang Jiaoe. With two ability users leading the charge, Wang Jiaoe felt somewhat relieved, while Lu Zhengqi was completely at a loss, only knowing that following Shen Feng was the safest, so he dared not stray far.
When the two arrived outside the building, they saw a group of people on the roof of the building, using another group of people as kites.
Wang Jiaoe's face changed drastically upon seeing the situation on the rooftop. "The people upstairs are all my confidants. I didn't expect them to be treated so cruelly."
The so-called kite-flying, as the name suggests, is to treat humans as kites. If there are kites, then what about the kite strings? In the human abdomen, there is a long organ, which is the intestines. The kite strings are these things.
A group of people in red hats on the rooftop surrounded eight strong young ability users. They cut open a person's belly, grabbed a length of intestine, and then kicked the person off the building. Immediately, a scream followed: "Ah..."
As the person fell, all their intestines were pulled out. Upon hitting the ground, they died instantly, leaving the ground a bloody mess.
Witnessing such a horrifying scene, Lu Zhengqi's legs began to tremble. He had never seen such a terrifying sight, and this scene was created by humans. Was this truly the once kind and compassionate race? It seemed to have changed!
Yue Hengyi, unable to contain his anger, directly accused them from below, "You scoundrels, your actions are simply unforgivable! Why are you treating them like this?"
"Lu Zhengqi, hurry and translate, or they won't understand," Shen Feng said in a low voice.
Lu Zhengqi stepped forward tremblingly, but his teeth chattered, and he couldn't utter a single word.
It was Wang Jiaoe who had more courage. She loudly translated Yue Hengyi's words and used her ability to transmit them directly into the minds of the others.
"Haha..." Greyn and the others burst into laughter, completely indifferent to Yue Hengyi's question.
Then, these people chattered a lot. Wang Jiaoe looked troubled but still translated, "They said: Two yellow-skinned monkeys, are you that woman's lovers? You're actually standing up for her? Don't talk about torturing these people; even you will eventually die miserably. Who are we? We are the high and mighty ability users! Moreover, you are also ability users, so why do you sympathize with these lowly humans?"
"What? They called us yellow-skinned monkeys! This is intolerable! We must act!" Yue Hengyi shouted. To him, "yellow-skinned monkey" was synonymous with "sick man of East Asia." Such insulting words being used against him was beyond his tolerance. Even a clay figurine had some temper; if he ignored this, he wouldn't be Chinese!
Shen Feng, however, stopped Yue Hengyi and said in a low voice, "Little Yue, wait a moment. I have a few more questions. Wang Jiaoe, continue translating. Ask them, in what way are ability users superior to humans? Aren't ability users and ordinary people the same race?"
Wang Jiaoe did not dare to refuse and quickly asked this question.
This question once again caused a burst of laughter from the rooftop. Then, these people began to shout again, "Ability users are not humans; ability users are gods, complete gods, because we possess power that ordinary people do not. No matter who it is, they can only prostrate themselves at our feet. As for humans, we can do whatever we want with them. Killing them is like slaughtering pigs and dogs. If we order them, they can only kneel and lick our toes!"
Upon receiving this answer, Shen Feng sighed deeply and said, "No wonder our ancestors said that foreigners are uncivilized barbarians. It seems that is indeed the case. In the eyes of these people, they are not the same species as humans, so there's no question of empathy. They have gained power, but their psychology has not grown. This is a deficiency in their minds. There's no need to persuade these people!"
"Brother Feng, what exactly are you trying to say?" Yue Hengyi was a bit confused by Shen Feng's long speech. Was he going to act or not?
Shen Feng said solemnly, "These people do not consider themselves human, so we don't need to consider them human either. Attack! But, leave their heads!"
With that, Shen Feng instantly rushed out. His figure was like lightning, and in almost an instant, he was at the bottom of the building.
Yue Hengyi quickly followed. With his elder brother making a move, he, as the younger brother, couldn't just stand by and watch. Moreover, he truly couldn't stand the actions of these human demons.
"Quickly hide! These battles are not something you and I can participate in!" Wang Jiaoe grabbed Lu Zhengqi and hid to the side, avoiding being exposed to anyone's sight. However, she still cautiously poked half her head out to peek, wanting to see what a real battle between ability users was like.
Greyn, upon seeing the actions of Shen Feng and Yue Hengyi, did not take them seriously. Instead, he shouted loudly, "Brothers, watch closely! Today, I, Australia's number one ability user, will show them what true strength is!"
After saying this, Greyn immediately charged down towards Shen Feng. Shen Feng was climbing the wall, while Greyn descended from the sky, seemingly intending to crush Shen Feng from above.
While still in the air, Greyn's body was engulfed in blazing flames, and the flames grew more intense, eventually turning blue. The ambient temperature instantly rose. The problem of thirty-five degrees Celsius now reached sixty degrees Celsius, and the area around the building was in a high-temperature state.
"Yellow-skinned monkey, die! I'll take your head!" Greyn said arrogantly.
Shen Feng leaped upwards like a nimble swallow. Unable to find leverage in mid-air, Shen Feng was filled with rage towards this inhuman fellow.
