"What a pity, your five dark chess pieces are of little use in this battle now." Ding Qi let out a sigh and glanced at the center of the battlefield, where Jian Huan Yao had already killed one of the security guards and was fighting Wu Gao Feng, a new human with hardened skin. It seemed that his defensive power could not withstand the intense energy of the laser sword either.

  At this moment, Dīng Qí's mechanical armor was almost out of energy, with a charred blood hole pierced through his arm, and several deep gashes on his neck and face. His expression changed to one of humility and politeness, maintaining a smile. "You secretly cultivated these five ability holders, perhaps to strike at our foundation in the future. But due to Jiǎn Huán Yáo's unexpected appearance, you had to reveal your hand prematurely. At first, I was indeed startled, but I couldn't have imagined that Jiǎn Huán Yáo's combat abilities far surpassed those of the other three, and might even be on par with ours. Given time, she will surely surpass us. You can't occupy this place today or in the future; you've already lost."

  "Hey, aren't you also unable to occupy this place? I don't believe you can tolerate that little girl......" Song Tianhu's injuries were not much lighter than Ding Qi's, one ear had already been lost, and his fist had been cut in half by a sharp blade, leaving only a bloody and mangled palm, yet he continued to fight desperately, as if determined to die rather than yield.

  "No need to show off your petty thoughts, I don't have such a shallow vision as yours. Otherwise, you would have been just a security guard in the past, while I was a person with power and wealth. To put it bluntly, people are different from each other, regardless of the era."

  Ding Qi's words were plain and unadorned, but full of thick irony.

  At this moment, Song Tianhu seemed to be pierced by this sentence, his dignity in his heart was hurt, and he let out a roar. A force burst forth from within him, exhausting the source of power hidden in his genetic bloodline. Fierce energy surged through every cell in his body, his muscles squirming like an earthworm, purple-red veins bulging on his forehead, his eyes blazing with fury, fixed intently on Ding Qiluo, as if ready to deliver a fatal blow.

  "Let you/your mother's fart!" Song Tianhu's legs were like a cannonball, his momentum was crazy and fierce as a beast, he pounced and killed swiftly, like a red-hot iron fist, with a loud punch, the intense blood energy on his body exploded, the power of the punch increased several times, like thunder, the wind from the punch stirred up a bloody color.

  Seeing him desperately, Ding Qi dared not relax a bit, and with a low drink, he urged the remaining "instant strike" ability, his genetic blood was boiling, his arms were full of strength, and his straight fist burst out wildly, fast to the point where no shadow could be seen, surpassing his own limit of punching speed, bursting through the air, and tearing apart the skin with a series of cracks.

  The two men fought now, their weapons were all broken and scrapped, the mechanical armor also lost more than half of its defensive power, and they engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand combat.

  Bang!

  A dull thud, two figures flew out like torn sacks, rolling and tumbling into a heap.

  The situation of two defeats and mutual injuries has not lasted for a moment.

  "Take action!"

  Song Tianhuo roars like a wounded beast!

  A nimble woman who was fighting with the security guard suddenly retreated, quickly changed direction and rushed towards Song Tianhu and Ding Qiluo. Ding Qiluo felt something was wrong, before everyone could react, the woman took out a round object, threw it into the air, spinning and spraying a large amount of thick smoke, which quickly enveloped half of the venue.

  Traitor!

  Everyone present immediately understood the identity of this woman!

  However, things always turn out contrary to everyone's expectations.

  "Ah!! You stinky bitch..."

  A shrill cry of despair echoed through the entire hall, bitter curses and scolding suddenly stopped, as if a rooster's throat had been suddenly cut.

  Everyone stopped fighting without warning and retreated from the battlefield. Something unexpected happened, and no one dared to confirm whether their leader was dead or not, but the voice just now belonged to Song Tianhu, not Ding Qiluo, filling the atmosphere with a sense of eeriness.

  Jian Huan Yao was indifferent to everything, she had just used her full strength to kill Wu Gao Feng in the last moment, and fully absorbed the evolutionary source of the feedback, but did not absorb the "hardened skin" ability source, because she disliked the appearance of hardened skin, so she didn't absorb it.

  However, after a series of battles, Jian Hanyao's genetic resonance frequency rose to thirty times, his body was optimized multiple times internally and externally, his strength increased in magnitude, and his senses became clear.

  New humans killing each other is indeed a shortcut to rapid progress, but the endless slaughter will eventually lose humanity, twist the soul, and produce negative emotions, which is not a good thing.

  However, those who have been fighting until now, they have absorbed a considerable amount of hostile energy from the other side, and their physical strength has increased significantly compared to before. Only their spirit has become tired, and their genetic bloodline has slowed down. This is because their absorption ability is too frequent, and their genetic bloodline cannot quickly digest it. Moreover, their absorption ability does not distinguish between systems, causing their genetic bloodline and external abilities to be incompatible, making it difficult for them to blend together for the time being.

  Jian Hanyao can only absorb physical abilities, thus avoiding this 'incompatibility' symptom.

  So, everyone clearly absorbed the ability to digest and truly enhanced their combat power. They coincidentally stopped fighting due to a sudden event and didn't want to continue, lest they encounter physical problems. They also understood that if their leader died, there was no point in continuing to fight.

  As the smoke and fog dispersed, three standing figures emerged from the haze, forming a triangular standoff. One of them clutched their shoulder, assuming an injured posture, yet still on high alert. Another was slender in build, likely a woman, poised to attack at any moment. Only one person remained motionless, standing calmly, but exuding an aura of unseen pressure from within, as if they were about to unleash a storm.

  "This guy has finally appeared... Huh? Why isn't Mom coming out?" Jian Han's delicate eyebrows furrowed, her eyes quietly scanning the dark surroundings, and she keenly discovered a shadow, waving at her from the darkness. She felt a sense of connection with the shadow, knowing who it was, and her heart slightly relaxed."

  The smoke dispersed, and the people in the scene saw a stranger wearing a black defensive suit standing tall. He was robust, with a cold expression, empty hands, and weapons on his thighs and waist. His eyes were like cold electricity, exuding an air of control over the entire situation.

  "Who are you?!"

  That woman who was an insider for Song Tianhu asked the question that everyone had in mind. At this time, the people present saw Song Tianhu lying on the ground without a breath, and suddenly understood that this once-dominant tiger was thoroughly dead. The crowd assumed that the mysterious man had struck the fatal blow, automatically filtering out Song Tianhu's last words.

  But soon everyone remembered.

  "Then why did you kill him?" The man smiled sarcastically, pointing to Song Tianhu's corpse and asked: "Aren't you the insider he secretly arranged? If I hadn't appeared just now, I suppose he would have died too."

  The man pointed at Ding Qiruo who was severely injured again.

  The man took advantage of the smoke and fog to sneak into the dense forest like a ghost.

  He had originally intended to take advantage of the situation to kill Song Tianhu and save Ding Qilue's life.

  Because saving Ding Qiluo's life helps An Rongru to smoothly receive the forces of the industry owner, after all, An Rongru was equal in status with them before, now they have suffered heavy losses, and someone must stand up to take over. An Rongru has Jian Huan Yao, this powerful daughter, already having enough deterrent force, if adding Mu Xiao's combat power, then no one dares to resist.

  Ding Qi was a clever person who knew what to do, and Mu Xiao saved him with the intention of using him to protect the villa district. Because in an area without a strong new human settlement, outsiders would not have fear, and would often launch surprise attacks. Therefore, some new humans could not be killed, so they were left alive as a 'deterrent weapon'.

  When the time is free, the villa district's combat effectiveness is insufficient, and it is difficult to cope with the dark crisis from outside.

  The woman standing in the field is not on the side of the owner, but one of Pang Xuejun's gang.

  "Ying Cai Mei, whose side are you on?" Pang Xuejun's face was extremely tired and his mechanical armor was almost broken, but his eyes still shone brightly, as if seeing through this woman, whether she was a mole on their own side.

  "As you thought, I am the mole arranged by Song Tianhu to be by your side." This Yu Pei Mei woman was twenty-eight or nine years old, at an age of mature charm, with fair skin, a gentle appearance, a slender figure and a delicate physique, belonging to the more attractive type of women.

  "What!?" A woman in the scene let out an incredulous shout: "Wasn't it true that Song Tianhu raped you? Others saw it, I saw it too, and yet you still want to help him?!"

  This woman was also on the side of Pang Xuejun, she had almost been raped by Song Tianhu's henchmen, fortunately Pang Xuejun appeared and rescued her, otherwise she would have become a female slave for a group of beasts. However, she witnessed Ying Caimei being humiliated, so she couldn't understand how such a deep-seated hatred could be easily resolved, and even became one of Song Tianhu's henchmen.

  It's nonsense that after a man has his way with a woman, she turns her resentment into love and devotes herself to him.

  "That was just an act, Song Tianhu has always been my man, what's strange about us having a relationship? That rape scene is more like a kind of romance..." Yu Pei smiled nervously, as if she had personally killed Song Tianhu, the man, and didn't feel any discomfort.

  "Always? You mean you were already in a relationship when you worked together before?" Pang Xuejun asked solemnly.

  Only in this way can her relationship with Song Tianhu be explained, and there has never been any deep-seated resentment. Instead, she deliberately created a scene of being humiliated to gain sympathy from others, so no matter which side she joins, as long as people understand the process of her humiliation, no one will suspect that she is in cahoots with Song Tianhu.

  In this way, she can serve as Song Tianhu's ears, secretly informing Song Tianhu of intelligence, and even if the matter is exposed, no one will suspect that she is a traitor.

  This is undoubtedly a good calculation.

  Why did Ying adopt Mui kill Song Tianhu, which made everyone very puzzled again.

  "That's right, before the apocalypse, we were in a romantic relationship, it just wasn't made public."

  Next, she seemed to sense the doubts in everyone's minds and smiled gradually, saying coldly: "You must be wondering why I wanted to kill my own man. Actually, there's nothing that can't be said. From the first day he started playing with those noblewomen and rich girls, I had the intention of killing him. It wasn't because I loved him too deeply or was jealous to the point of hatred, but because I didn't like being abandoned and relegated to a supporting role. Because I knew that once he gained great power, he would either abandon me or make me one of his many women. But now this world gives people strength and the opportunity to change their own fate, so why rely on men? Why still be a supporting character? Why must we fulfill men's ambitions and desires... Can't I have ambition and desire too?!

  Everyone who heard this speech was terrified.

  What a ferocious and extreme woman!
