Chapter 39

Rain poured down in torrents.

Liu Yan slashed again and again, making sure to finish off even the Hundred-Break Martial Artist who was kneeling on the ground. She feared they might not be dead.

This was experience.

On the battlefield, failing to finish off enemies often led to being counter-killed. With the emergence of superhumans, their abilities could even stop hearts from beating. Sometimes, dealing with superhumans, one wished to burn them to ashes.

The finishing blows were done.

Liu Yan was unharmed, only slightly grazed by the chaos of the fight, but it didn't count as an injury.

She looked at Li Hao as if she were seeing him for the first time.

Previously, during the battle with Zhou He, Li Hao had shown an extremely cold and cunning personality. But this time, they were at a disadvantage, in a difficult situation.

In such a situation, this newly ascended Hundred-Break realm individual actually thought about counter-killing.

And... he succeeded!

If the Hundred-Break Martial Artist hadn't been careless and underestimated Li Hao, the three of them working together would likely have been overwhelmed.

Chen Jian was also in a daze, as he was injured.

Previously, he was defending from the back, and the martial artists had firearms. He was hit by bullets, but with his thick skin, he only got shot in the back and buttocks. Now, he directly pulled out the bullets, seemingly feeling no pain, and was also looking at Li Hao.

The two of them were truly convinced this time!

Li Hao, looking at the corpses, fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he looked at the two of them and asked, "Do you have any more grenades?"

He had already thrown all his.

"An ambush?"

Liu Yan shook her head, "If experienced, they won't rashly check the bodies. They are all martial artists, and they have experience. This time, they just underestimated you..."

Li Hao smiled. He had originally thought that maybe they could set a trap for the superhumans.

But after some thought... superhumans might be more cautious, and with their abilities, grenades would likely not kill them, wasting the opportunity.

"Then, should we bury them?"

To delay discovery as long as possible. If a team of martial artists died and their bodies were found, Li Hao and the others would become much more important.

This didn't need to be said.

Liu Yan, having finished the finishing blows, had already started throwing the bodies into the pit created by the grenades.

Chen Jian was also helping.

Clearly, these two weren't doing this for the first time.

Li Hao joined in, and the three of them quickly threw the bodies into the pit. Li Hao also took a short knife from the Hundred-Break Martial Artist's body, realizing that sometimes being unarmed was a disadvantage.

Having a small knife, as Liu Yan showed, even a martial artist's throat, which is made of flesh, could be cut with one slash!

As for other items, none of them took them.

If they won, they could come back for them later.

If they lost... taking them would be pointless.

There were ten martial artists, and although only one was a Hundred-Break, the others likely had some good items, but at the moment, none of them cared.

The heavy rain was also advantageous for them.

The blood was quickly washed away, and the footprints quickly disappeared.

Once all the bodies were thrown into the pit, it quickly filled with water. If not noticed, it would just look like a small pool. This place was close to the outskirts, and the appearance of a small puddle was quite normal.

Liu Yan and Chen Jian, busy with their work, didn't speak.

In the darkness, with the faint moonlight, they could barely see each other.

Such heavy rain didn't obscure the crescent moon in the sky.

It looked particularly cold and clear!

After finishing, Liu Yan stood up, waved her hand, and Chen Jian quickly followed, with Li Hao also following. The three of them continued on the muddy road.

Liu Yan said as they walked, "To the designated location, the warehouse at the foot of Heavenly King Mountain!"

"They know we will plant explosives..." Li Hao reminded, knowing for sure.

Absolutely!

Otherwise, they wouldn't have tried to stop them from leaving the city.

"It's fine!"

Liu Yan, at this moment, seemed willing to reveal some things to Li Hao. Under the rain, her eyes were cold, but she smiled at Li Hao, "The boss isn't that easy to be figured out! But you can know a little. Remember, once we get there, we will have the means to resist superhumans!"

Resist superhumans?

Li Hao didn't understand, but he could tell that Liu Long had some plans.

This enforcement team leader stationed in Silver City was more capable than he imagined.

Although they didn't know where he was or if he had already run into trouble... at least they hadn't seen his body, so no one would believe he was dead.

"Move faster! Take advantage of their lack of reaction and quickly get there! In their minds, these martial artists were enough to capture us!"

"Okay!"

The three of them ran quickly in the darkness.

Chen Jian was the slowest, even slower than Li Hao.

Moreover, he had been hit by bullets, and his wounds were still bleeding. After running for a while, Chen Jian said in a low voice, "You two go ahead, I'll cover the rear. I'll hide here, and if anyone comes, I'll take care of them!"

His speed was too slow, even slower than Li Hao, and he was dragging Liu Yan and Li Hao down.

Better to stay and fight!

As for leaving... he had no such intention.

The demon-hunting team's mission wasn't complete, and leaving would make him a deserter.

At this moment, Li Hao patted his head and grabbed him, a warm current flowing into Chen Jian, who was slightly stunned.

"Nothing, special internal energy, passed down by my teacher!"

Chen Jian was puzzled but didn't speak.

He could feel the benefits of this energy. Instantly, his wounds stopped hurting, and the internal energy he had consumed was quickly restored.

Li Hao had secrets.

Of course, he didn't care and had no time to care. His face was slightly flushed, and he was excited.

This meant he could continue following!

His internal energy started to recover, his wounds stopped bleeding, and he felt his strength returning.

In front, Liu Yan didn't say anything, grabbing Li Hao and pulling his hand, running quickly, "Give me some, so I don't consume too much!"

At such a high speed, without replenishment, she couldn't afford it.

As for finding a car... in the middle of the night, in the outskirts, it was hard to find one, and even if found, it would be too conspicuous.

Li Hao didn't say anything, one hand holding Liu Yan, the other holding the fat Chen Jian.

The three formed a line, with Li Hao in the middle, almost being pulled apart, responsible for inputting some star energy to the two.

At this moment, it wasn't the time to be cautious.

If this mission failed, everyone would die.

If they succeeded, they would be comrades who had faced life and death together. Just star energy, Li Hao would find an excuse, and they could believe it or not.

At this moment, Li Hao had other thoughts and suddenly asked, "Is the boss really unable to advance to superhuman, or is he choosing not to?"

"Unable to advance!"

Liu Yan, running with him, replied, "Who would be foolish not to advance? Don't think too much! But he has a chance to advance. He's not Yuan Shuo. The Night Patrol is willing to give him multiple chances, but with a condition. After advancing, he needs to stay in White Moon City to defend it! If the boss advances, he might become a Sun-level existence, and the boss consumes a lot, so the Night Patrol needs his help... but the boss doesn't want to, so he left the Night Patrol and returned here!"

"The provincial authorities want to reduce the defense perimeter, including Silver City, several cities will be abolished and relocated. The Night Patrol's idea is to give some cities and population to other superhuman organizations, recognizing their rule!"

Li Hao was stunned.

Recognize?

What does that mean?

Liu Yan, running and explaining in a low voice, "Now, superhuman organizations are lawless, partly because you don't know where their bases are, how many people they have, or how strong they are!"

"Give up some cities, and if necessary, even a province to them! Let them establish a country! First, with stakes, they will be more cautious about harming ordinary people. Second, with a base, it's easier to strike precisely! Third, once they establish a country, powerful city-destroying weapons can be used, rather than now, where superhumans can come and go freely..."

Li Hao considered it, his eyes brightening. This is a good thing!

According to Liu Yan, it indeed is a good thing.

Superhuman organizations are lawless because they are mysterious and free. Once they establish a country, they will be restricted.

Then, if you act recklessly, you'll face artillery and city-destroying weapons...

The Night Patrol's idea is good!

Just as Li Hao thought this, Liu Yan said, "This is a trend, irreversible! The strategy is correct, the plan is correct, and I and the boss can't resist, nor should we... overall, this is beneficial for social stability, stabilizing these restless elements!"

"But, Li Hao, you need to remember one thing... establishing a country requires population. Where does the population come from? The current government is made up of ordinary people, so they care and are willing to protect... do you think the superhumans in superhuman organizations care? Do they know how to manage? So, where is abandoned, where is left, who is left... actually means these people are abandoned!"

What will happen to these people living under the rule of superhuman organizations?

No one knows!

Maybe they will live happily, maybe they will live in hell, the future is unknown, and it's unfair to those left behind.

However... what can be done?

Everything Liu Long does is to prevent Silver City from being one of the cities left behind, as Silver City is on the edge of the province, strategically unimportant, and small with a small population, so it seems reasonable to abandon it.

Restraining some superhuman organizations might be more beneficial than harmful.

However, Liu Long is unwilling.

So, he would rather return, hunt superhumans himself, and slowly advance. Only then might he be able to protect Silver City from being abandoned. Once abandoned, the entire Silver City would become a superhuman jurisdiction.

Then, if a war breaks out, Silver City would be a deterrent for the government to control superhuman organizations, and city-destroying weapons might be used on Silver City.

Li Hao couldn't see this clearly at the moment.

The high-level officials in Silver City, like the Night Patrol's inspectors, are fully aware.

The formation of the demon-hunting team also
