Sambak was punched by Ye Tianchen and flew away, leaving a harsh threat before disappearing into the darkness. He could feel the strength of this Oriental man, and if they continued to fight, he would likely not gain any advantage. As the deputy leader of the Blood Demon Mercenary Group, Sambak held a high position and would not risk his life easily. It was better to leave first and find a chance to take revenge on Ye Tianchen later.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The surrounding bandits, numbering nearly a hundred, opened fire on Ye Tianchen. It seemed that the amount of smuggled weapons this time was substantial, otherwise, there wouldn't be such a large group.
Ye Tianchen rolled on the ground, bullets flying around him. He picked up a machine gun and retaliated, instantly blowing the heads off three bandits.
In the post-apocalyptic world, Ye Tianchen rarely used firearms. Although some powerful weapons had to be guarded against and used, he tried to avoid them whenever possible. Ye Tianchen always felt that killing with his fists was more satisfying. Even if he had to use a weapon in the post-apocalyptic world, he preferred rocket launchers, carrying one on his right shoulder, each rocket capable of blowing up a skyscraper.
Although he disliked using weapons, it didn't mean that Ye Tianchen's marksmanship was poor. Holding a machine gun in each hand, Ye Tianchen was like a god of war, firing without dodging, moving forward fearlessly. When he stopped, all the bandits were dead in a pool of blood, except for Sambak who had escaped.
Throwing the machine gun to the ground, Ye Tianchen picked up a few grenades and threw two into a tent. With a few loud explosions, flames shot up into the sky. With a playful smile, Ye Tianchen left. He had not only avenged his five fallen comrades but also killed all the bandits and destroyed their weapons, completing his mission.
Han Jie had been standing on a tree branch, witnessing everything. She was stunned, unable to imagine anyone could be so strong. The scene was more intense than anything in the movies. Even if a powerful soldier could do it, it shouldn't be possible for a new special forces member like Ye Tianchen.
"Han Jie, we can go now, it's almost dawn." Ye Tianchen appeared behind her at some point.
"Ye Tianchen, how... how did you become so strong?" Han Jie couldn't help but ask.
"Ah? Haha, potential explosion, low-key awesomeness, underdog's comeback!" Ye Tianchen scratched his head and laughed.
To Han Jie's confusion, Ye Tianchen could only敷衍 past it this way. He couldn't tell her that he was no longer the old Ye Tianchen, but a reborn god-level ability user. If he did, people might think he was crazy and send him to a mental hospital.
Ye Tianchen still carried Han Jie and left the Black Fog Forest at night, heading east toward the border. When they reached the border, they were surrounded by several off-road vehicles. A group of armed soldiers got out, led by a man with a square face, a buzz cut, and a height of about 1.7 meters, around thirty years old. When he saw Ye Tianchen and Han Jie, he was also surprised.
"Team Leader Iron Hammer, you're here?" Han Jie got off Ye Tianchen's back, feeling a bit awkward and sad as she looked at the man in his thirties.
Iron Hammer, the leader of the Chinese Tianlong Group, was a very powerful team. Each member was carefully selected and directly led by the highest military leaders. Soon after Han Jie and her team of seven were dispatched, the Eastern side received intelligence that they might be ambushed by the Blood Demon Mercenary Group, causing a stir. The highest military leaders immediately ordered Iron Hammer to lead dozens of elite members of the Tianlong Group to rush to the Black Fog Forest to rescue the seven special forces members.
Although such an order and rescue measure were made, many people believed that the seven special forces members were likely to be dead, with almost no chance of survival. The intelligence from the Eastern side was incorrect, and the seven special forces members had to face nearly a hundred bandits and the formidable Blood Demon Mercenary Group. Surviving would be a miracle.
But the miracle did happen, and the one who achieved it was Ye Tianchen. Facing the leader of the Tianlong Group, Han Jie recounted the entire incident to Iron Hammer, who was so surprised that he couldn't stop looking at Ye Tianchen. In the end, he even invited Ye Tianchen to sit in his car, wanting to talk to this new special forces member. After all, the Eastern side had lost five special forces members in this incident, and more importantly, it involved China's international prestige. No one could afford to be careless.
In the off-road vehicle, Ye Tianchen and Iron Hammer sat side by side. Ye Tianchen wasn't particularly interested in Iron Hammer, so he didn't say a word, leaning back and enjoying the breeze. This time, to avenge his comrades and save Han Jie, Ye Tianchen had forcibly used less than one-tenth of his ability energy, and he was still feeling somewhat tired.
"Have a cigarette!" Iron Hammer glanced at Ye Tianchen and offered him a cigarette. He already believed Han Jie's words; the young man in front of him was indeed very strong. However, he was puzzled as to why no one had noticed this before, or if Ye Tianchen had deliberately hidden it.
Ye Tianchen took the lit cigarette and took a satisfying puff. In the post-apocalyptic world, a cigarette like this was a luxury that no amount of money could buy.
"This time, you have the greatest merit. I will report it and recommend you for a commendation. You might even get a high position..." Iron Hammer said, looking at Ye Tianchen.
"No, I don't want any commendation or a high position. I just want to return to the city and go home," Ye Tianchen shook his head and said.
In fact, Ye Tianchen really felt this way. The moment he opened his eyes, he understood many things. If it weren't for the desire to revitalize his family and wash away the shame he had brought to his parents, he would never have joined the military. Now he wanted to go back and see his family. If Han Jie hadn't spoken so quickly, Ye Tianchen wouldn't have wanted anyone to know about these things.
"Really? Such a great achievement will earn you an audience with the top military leaders. It's an honor, and you will be promoted several ranks. Although your family has declined, this time you will be able to hold your head high," Iron Hammer asked, puzzled.
"Sorry, I'm not interested. I think this news will spread quickly. Just being able to return alive will make my parents proud. I just want to be with them and give them a happy and peaceful life," Ye Tianchen said calmly.
Iron Hammer was really puzzled. According to what he knew, Ye Tianchen was a first-year student at Longteng University, and the Ye family was a third-rate family in the capital. The old Ye Tianchen was a troublemaker, always fighting and chasing girls. One day, he peeked at the capital's top beauty, Liu Rumei, while she was bathing, causing a stir in the capital. The Liu family was the top family in the capital, with a leader at the vice-national level, holding significant power. The Ye family couldn't afford to offend them, so the final solution was for Ye Tianchen's parents to publicly apologize to the Liu family in front of many powerful families, while Ye Tianchen knelt beside them. This saved Ye Tianchen's life but made the Ye family a laughingstock in the capital.
After that, Ye Tianchen seemed to have woken up and joined the military, hoping to make a name for himself, leading to the events of today.
What no one expected was that a troublemaker who had brought great shame to his family could have such formidable strength. It was hard to believe.
"I'm afraid this matter isn't up to you to decide," Iron Hammer said, coming to his senses.
"I will thank you, Team Leader Iron Hammer. I think you are a good person. I just want a simple life. This time, I had no choice but to act. I believe there are others who deserve this honor more. Give it to them, let me go home," Ye Tianchen said sincerely, looking at Iron Hammer.
"I can only report the truth to General Gray Wolf. He will handle this matter personally."
After Ye Tianchen and Han Jie arrived at the military camp, Han Jie was sent to the medical department for treatment, while Ye Tianchen fell into a deep sleep. This body couldn't handle the burst of ability energy. Forcibly using a Jun-level ability to eliminate the bandits had left him very tired, and he needed a good rest.
"General Gray Wolf, this is what Han Jie said. I don't think she's lying!" Iron Hammer reported respectfully in the military camp.
"A troublemaker who brought great shame to his family, could he really be so strong?" Gray Wolf asked, puzzled, speaking to himself.
Gray Wolf was the direct leader of the Tianlong Group, an important military official, and one of the three great war soldiers in the East, with formidable strength. Before coming, his superiors had instructed him to handle this matter as calmly as possible, essentially to downplay it, whether to hide something or to maintain international influence.
Although Gray Wolf wasn't a gossip, the feud between the Ye and Liu families was well-known, almost everyone in the capital had heard about it, and it was a significant reason why the Ye family became a laughingstock.
"Iron Hammer, do you also believe that this troublemaker has such combat strength?"
"I believe!" Iron Hammer answered firmly.
Hearing Iron Hammer's answer, Gray Wolf was taken aback. Iron Hammer was his most trusted subordinate, the leader of the Tianlong Group, with exceptional skills and a calm, wise demeanor. He was likely to enter the military committee and replace him one day. He didn't expect him to believe this.
"I want to hear your reasons."
"General Gray Wolf, Chinese martial arts are profound. I once studied under a master of an ancient martial arts school, who told me that there are people called geniuses. These people may be unknown, but when faced with life and death, they often burst with incredible strength. I believe Ye Tianchen is such a person," Iron Hammer said respectfully.
Gray Wolf frowned, then smiled and said, "A genius? I would like to see what kind of genius this is. Bring him to see me!"
