Blood continued to gush out.
The greasy man felt his entire body weaken, unable to muster any strength.
Furthermore, every movement he made now only accelerated his death.
There was nothing more terrifying than watching oneself die.
And so, the greasy man watched helplessly as his blood slowly drained away, until it was all gone…
In reality, when the human body loses more than 50% of its blood, it goes into shock.
Therefore… the greasy man never got the chance to see the moment his blood truly ran dry.
*Plop!*
The greasy man, his face deathly pale, collapsed onto the ground.
Bai Hanlin looked at the dying greasy man and slowly said,
"I already warned you, I am a doctor…"
Bai Hanlin knew that he stood no chance of winning in a direct confrontation with the greasy man.
Moreover, while the monomolecular scalpel was sharp, its small size limited its ability to inflict widespread, severe wounds.
So, he devised a plan to sever the greasy man's arteries.
Because the scalpel was exceptionally sharp, the wounds instantly sealed after being cut.
Unless exposed to water or external force, one would hardly notice these wounds.
And if these wounds were not further aggravated within a short period, they would quickly heal given an Awakener's physique.
Thus, cutting several major arteries was the first step.
The next step was to enrage the greasy man.
The most common skills for gene evolution routes were [Rage] and [Berserk Cleave].
For the greasy man, who was one level higher than him, he would definitely not activate the latter skill.
Because it would incur a 30-minute vulnerability period.
It wasn't worth using such a powerful ability.
Therefore, it was highly probable that he would use [Rage]!
[Rage] is characterized by a surge of adrenaline and a reddening of the skin.
The skin turns red due to the heart beating rapidly, supplying blood at an accelerated rate, and the dilation of all capillaries. The human body enters a state of heightened excitement.
In this state, severed arteries would inevitably lead to massive bleeding.
So… everything he was seeing before him had been meticulously orchestrated by Bai Hanlin, step by step.
"He… he's dead?"
Cui Zhiyan looked on in horror.
Mainly because the greasy man's death was too gruesome.
It was the first time she had ever seen someone spurt blood instantaneously and bleed out until death.
As the blood gradually drained, the greasy man's corpse instantly became much more gaunt.
His skin turned even paler…
"He's not dead yet…"
Bai Hanlin said calmly, then slowly walked over to the greasy man.
He pulled out his scalpel and abruptly plunged it into the greasy man's back of the head.
He stirred the blade inside for a moment before slowly saying,
"Now, he's completely dead!"
…
While Bai Hanlin was engaged in his battle with the greasy man.
Zhang Chen's own battle was also drawing to a close.
After leaving the guard post, his objective was the civilian district, killing enemies along the way.
Therefore, Zhang Chen took the main road, heading straight for Gates 2 and 1.
However, the greasy man, to minimize unnecessary combat, had skirted the main defensive positions along the side.
And utilizing the S13 organization's unique stealth ability (Chapter 123), he had smoothly evaded the guards' detection.
Thus, Zhang Chen did not encounter the greasy man; their paths had diverged.
(I've noticed that a lot of content needs immediate explanation, otherwise people will start questioning it later. I'll try to provide explanations within the same chapter from now on…)
(If you still don't understand, you can think of the civilian district as a school. The protagonist entered from the school gate, while the greasy man climbed over the wall to get out!)
Before Gate 1.
All four squads had suffered varying degrees of heavy damage, with one death and over a dozen injured.
At the gate, Zhang Chen held an S13 member's head in one hand, dragging their body forward.
After walking not far, the bodies of the two men began to gradually turn into mist, eventually disappearing…
"Who is this person? Simply… too formidable!"
"It seems… his name is Zhang Chen, brought by a little girl riding a wolf…"
"I couldn't even see what happened, gone in the blink of an eye…"
"This is too outrageous. The captains said the opponent had at least the strength of a mid-level Awakener Stage 2, yet they were instantly killed in one move? And two at the same time?"
"Regardless, the facts are here… Honestly, I wasn't even scared fighting those two guys just now, but seeing Zhang Chen make his move… I won't say any more, I need to change my pants…"
…
The surviving combat squad members whispered amongst themselves,
Their faces filled with shock.
Before Zhang Chen's arrival, the situation here was a one-sided slaughter by the S13 members.
After all, the opposing side was ranked within the top one million globally.
Calculating based on the world's 8 billion people, the top one million is equivalent to one person out of every ten thousand!
Therefore, those who join organizations are by no means ordinary people; they are absolute elites in surviving the apocalypse.
Who could have imagined that with Zhang Chen's appearance…
This was the result?
The meticulously chosen elites were effortlessly dealt with by Zhang Chen.
No one even saw what happened.
Zhang Chen himself was deeply shocked by his own strength.
He had expected that dealing with two opponents of mid-level Awakener Stage 2 simultaneously would take some time.
At least more than ten seconds, right!
Who would have thought that these two guys would foolishly initiate an attack?
The result was that Zhang Chen killed both of them in less than a second.
One could only say that his body, tempered by the meteor energy, had become even more robust!
Combined with the boost from his dual talents, it was as if all his attributes had doubled.
His strength was naturally incomparable to before!
Now, standing face to face with Zhang Chen before Gate 1, was the leader of S13, Yin Junxi.
He watched as two of his subordinates perished in a single move, yet his face showed no expression whatsoever.
It was as if the deceased were unrelated individuals.
"So, you are Zhang Chen?"
Yin Junxi unfastened his cloak, tossed it aside, and narrowed his eyes as he asked.
"Yes… and you are the leader of the S13 organization?"
Zhang Chen asked calmly.
"That's right, I am the leader of S13, my name is Yin…"
Before Yin Junxi could finish his introduction, Zhang Chen directly interrupted him.
"Your name is irrelevant. By killing you, I can obtain the stealth special core, right!"
Zhang Chen sneered coldly and said.
"Are you so confident you can defeat me?"
A playful smile played on Yin Junxi's lips as a heavy, semi-transparent armor covered his body.
[Energy Heavy Armor]: Can offset 80% of damage before breaking, with a 30% chance to block a fatal blow!
He flicked his hand, and a jeweled long saber appeared in his grasp.
[Rare · Rainbow Treasure Saber]: When attacking, it can unleash scorching energy attacks on opponents; during combat, each swing has a 10% chance to create illusions to disrupt opponents; additionally increases damage against energy shields and armor by 30%!
Zhang Chen: *Hiss*… So many treasures… How thoughtful!
