The strongest talent

Chapter 1 The Hunted Youth

In 2215 AD, it was late autumn in September.

The former Ji'an City, Shandong Province, China, is now the Ji'an Survival Base, 230 miles to the northwest.

In a dense forest that stretches for forty to fifty kilometers, a young man is squatting on a tree trunk, wearing a black leather combat uniform, stepping on mutated animal skin combat boots, and carrying an alloy combat knife, the blade is stained with blood , the blade was damaged in several places, bent down and lowered his head, carefully dealing with the injury on the outside of his left leg.

The wound was not too deep, with a piece of golden shrapnel embedded in it, and the exposed part of the muscle was stained with a little blood, giving off a cold light.

The young man took out a dagger and dug out the shrapnel.

The shrapnel fell to the ground with a string of blood beads, staining a few dead leaves red.

"Bullying with power, bullying with power!" The young man simply bandaged the wound, lay down on the tree trunk, and slowly narrowed his eyes, his gaze became a little colder.

Since the spring of 2185, a spaceship from an unknown alien race crashed on the earth, and a mysterious radiation leaked from the spaceship, sweeping the whole world in just three months.

Animals, humans, plants exposed to these radiations... All living things on the earth have undergone irreversible genetic mutations, and even the topography has undergone tremendous changes, especially animals, which have become full of viciousness, wild beasts, poultry, pets... all huge Transformation and ferocity, the overall body is greatly strengthened, and some body shapes even undergo major changes.

Some poultry are burning with flames and are [-] meters long, like the legendary phoenix; some wild dogs have three heads, each with three eyes, and are called "nine-eyed wolf kings" by humans. ; There is also a cow that mutates into a humanoid form, can speak human words, and blasts out a powerful air wave attack, and is named "God Cow King Mu" by humans!
From the beginning of the mutation to the end of the disaster, it took a total of 30 years. This painful experience was recorded in the annals of history. The people called it the "Great Chaos Era" and the "Great Cataclysm" in history!
In the early days of the Great Chaos Era, the human world suffered heavy casualties. Since the third winter, the human beings, who have not changed much after being irradiated, finally opened a new chapter of evolution and mastered powerful power.

Someone physically became extremely powerful, not inferior to mutant beasts, and could fight lions and tigers with bare hands.

Someone has obtained the power of affinity with the natural elements, and with a wave of his hand, he can trigger the power of nature, rain down thunder, and stir up a storm.

There are also people who can unite with all things and communicate with weapons, just like the sword fairy in ancient legends, who can kill every ten steps and never stop for thousands of miles.

Many geniuses emerged one after another to fight against the ferocious mutant beasts, regain the lost land of human beings, and re-establish the national order.

Evolvers with these powers are called "fighters, elementalists, and spirit warriors."

With the help of these powerful capabilities, combined with modern technological weapons, many survival bases have been established on the seven continents that originally existed on the earth and many new continents that have emerged after the landform has changed, to provide protection for ordinary people, and to select outstanding talents from among the people to further Strengthen yourself.

There are countless martial arts academies established by all kinds of powerful people, and the powerful ones can even compete with the country.

For example, the founder of the Heijiang Battle Hall, Heijiang King, a powerful spiritual warrior, once beheaded an eight-headed serpent with a peak evolution of eighth order in the era of great chaos, and was promoted to the Battle Saint.Now there are Zhanguan branches all over the world, recruiting a large number of disciples, and producing talents in large numbers.

Another example is the Seablue King, the founder of the Seablue Law League. In the era of great chaos, he led his three brothers to defend the coastline. The four of them teamed up to kill a giant turtle that emerged from the deep sea. Great reputation.

The No. 30 martial arts gym in Asia, the founder of the "Two Pole Martial Arts Gym", King Ape King, in the era of great chaos, in order to cover the retreat of [-] people, fought to the death with three mutant beasts that had reached the eighth level of evolution, and finally broke through to the Martial Saint level , known as the strongest fighter in Asia, and now, has long been the realm of the legendary martial arts.

In addition to these top martial arts academy forces, there are also people who use the model of business groups or guilds to survive in groups and obtain greater benefits and resources.

In the Ji'an Survival Base in Eastern Ludong Province, there are three largest organizations, namely the Hongdu Group, the Heijiang Martial Arts Branch of the King of Heijiang, and the Freeman's Alliance.

The founder of Hongdu Group is known as the King of Hongdu, and his business mainly researches and develops biopharmaceuticals. He is the most important pharmaceutical supply company in Ji'an Base.

The young man was named Yuan Qing, and he formed a team of free men called the Spike Team.Because of a conflict with people from the Hongdu Group during the hunt, the hired hunting team assembled by the Hongdu Group chased and killed him for seven days!
"It's not the mutated beast crystal that made this situation just for a broken stone, Hongdu Group, are you full?"

Yuan Qing's face was full of gloom, and he looked at a bluestone slab the size of a palm in his hand, covered with many fine light spots the size of needlepoints, twinkling like stars in the sky.

As the mutant beast grows, there is a chance to produce transparent crystals in its body, called beast crystals.Beast crystals are extremely rare, and they are excellent materials for forging weapons and making medicines.After killing a mutant beast, Yuan Qing and his team found the stone slab from its body, but they were seen by the mission team of the Hongdu Group who happened to pass by, and mistakenly thought that Yuan Qing and the others had obtained a beast crystal, so they saw Cai Get up and fight.

In the process of chasing all the way, reinforcements from the Hongdu Group continued to join, and finally Yuan Qing's Spike Squad was wiped out, and he was the only one who survived.But the Hongdu Group also paid the price of the complete annihilation of the four teams, so that now, from a simple fight for money and profit, it has become a situation of endless death.

The Hongdu Group announced a reward order to hunt down Yuan Qing and reward [-] alliance coins. Any mercenary team can take on this task.

While Yuan Qing was lying on the tree and observing the bluestone slab, more than ten kilometers away to the southwest, there were three burly men with similar looks, all wearing camouflage combat uniforms; the eldest of the three raised his left hand , looked at the smart watch on his wrist.

On the watch, a bright red dot slowly lit up.

"There!" The boss turned his head to look in the direction of Yuan Qing, his eyes glowed wildly, "The detection satellite has the results, there are abnormal life fluctuations over there, and the wanted criminal announced by the Hongdu Group is over there!"

Swish swish!
The three of them coincidentally, and all chased in the direction where Yuan Qing was escaping. While running, they kept looking at the smart watch. The bright red dot on it flashed more and more urgently, and the actual distance displayed was getting closer rapidly.

Ten kilometers, five kilometers, two kilometers, 1000 meters...

When there were still more than 900 meters, the three of them stopped together outside a dense forest.

The dense forest is dense with trees, some tens of meters high, two or three meters in diameter, and some ten meters short. Shrubs and weeds are overgrown, and the line of sight is severely blocked, making it impossible to see the situation inside.

"Third brother, get ready!" The boss looked at the smart watch and shouted, "The target is in the direction of four o'clock, 980 meters away, within the maximum range of the Vulcan gun."

The third child had a scar on his left eye. He untied a forty-centimeter-long, extremely thick silver-white metal box from his back, opened the box and took out many metal parts. He moved quickly, and in just ten seconds, he assembled a sniper rifle with black light. , the barrel is thick and heavy, and two golden yellow bullets with a diameter of four centimeters are pressed on it. The right eye moves to the scope and starts aiming in the direction of four o'clock.

On the branch of a big tree in the dense forest, the muscles at the corners of Yuan Qing's eyes twitched, and without hesitation, the bluestone slab in his hand was suddenly stuffed into his bosom, his figure leaped out from the branch like a bolt of lightning.

Almost at the moment when he left the tree trunk, there was a sudden explosion, and the branch that he had just sheltered in was snapped off by the bullets fired from a distance.

"It came so fast, there is no rest time at all!" Yuan Qing's pupils tightened, and he changed direction and fled deep in the dense forest, his face was extremely solemn, "It is so powerful, at least it is a second-grade Vulcan gun, and it may even be a third-grade Thor gun , a thermal weapon of this level, once it is bombarded, it will be over!"

He ran faster and faster, and the distance between him and the opponent quickly opened up. He never heard the second gunshot, and his face became more serious: "The effective range of the Vulcan gun is 500 meters. If you can't run within 3000 meters, you won't leave The danger, especially the sniper can still move, must be thrown away quickly."

Although his expression was stern, Yuan Qing was not flustered: "Snipe me with a hot weapon, and the opponent is a spirit warrior! Although I am also a spirit warrior, my talent is closer to that of a fighter. The speed of ordinary people cannot catch up with me!"

On the edge of the dense forest in the distance, the three chasers had already begun to chase, rushed into the dense forest, and locked on the position, but the speed was slightly slower. The actual distance displayed by the smart watch was slowly pulled away, and it was about to leave the effective range!
"Stop chasing!" The three stopped, and the boss's eyes flickered fiercely, staring at the direction Yuan Qing was escaping, "Third brother, fire the second shot, it's up to you whether you can complete this order!"

The third child nodded sympathetically, raised his Vulcan gun and took aim.

About three seconds later, the golden bullet in the Vulcan magazine gave off a faint orange-red light, which penetrated the gun body, like a firefly.

boom!
A flame more than half a meter long spewed out from the gun barrel, and visible rippling air waves appeared in front of it, bringing up a series of air explosion flow patterns, leaving a straight ballistic trajectory in the air, and went straight into the dense forest ahead .

In the dense forest, Yuan Qing who was running suddenly twisted his body. The golden bullets scratched his clothes, passed close to his waist, and threw out a drop of blood, which sank into a big tree and exploded half of the tree.

Yuan Qing's speed did not slow down, and his figure disappeared into the bushes and grass, and never appeared again.

"It's a pity!" The third child shook his head: "This Vulcan gun is not my psychic weapon. It cannot be combined with psychic powers. It can only add psychic effects to the bullets. Otherwise, this shot will kill him!"

"We are the Vulcan Scythe Squad, accepting the reward task to hunt down the wanted criminal." The boss was silent for a long time, slowly raised his wrist, operated the smart watch a few times, and whispered into the sound hole, "Squad number 5576- 06531, the Vulcan bullet suspected of injuring the target, and fled in the direction of Tianming Mountain."

After about two seconds, the smart watch issued a neutral electronic voice: "It has been recorded, please continue to hunt."

After finishing the communication, the boss clenched his fist violently and slammed heavily on a big tree next to him. The bark of the smashed tree flew, and he roared angrily, "Bastard!"

"Please continue to hunt him down, he's a B!" The third child put away his sniper rifle and cursed directly, "This wanted criminal named Yuan Qing has killed all four hunting teams, a total of twelve evolutionaries. Let's The two Vulcan bullets I have used have been fired, so what are you going to hunt for?!"

The second child, who had been silent all this time, held an alloy dagger in his hand, tapped his smart watch a few times, his eyes were cold: "Brother, third child, Yuan Qing's reward has been increased to [-] alliance coins, enough for us Replace most of the latest combat equipment, even if there is no Vulcan bullet, it doesn't matter if you fight him in close quarters, as long as..."

Before the second child could finish speaking, the boss next to him yelled loudly: "Little..."

Before the word "heart" was uttered, a snow-white saber light, like a spirit snake spewing out a letter, swept past the second child's neck.

laugh!
A head soared into the sky, blood sprayed seven or eight meters high, and the heat was billowing, spilling a large area on the ground.

"Second!" The boss's eyes were bloodshot instantly, and his right hand landed on the alloy short stick at his waist in an instant, as if he was about to draw it out.

however.

Two sounds of swish swish sounded almost at the same time, and the two saber lights passed the necks of the boss and the third brother almost in no particular order at the same time.

In less than a second, the three members of the Vulcan Scythe Squad were all wiped out!

"Hiss..." Yuan Qing slowly put away the saber, reached out and touched his right waist, dripping with blood.The muscles on his face twitched slightly, and he found a few thumb-sized bottles of medicine from the three corpses, swallowed them all, and leaned against the tree to wait quietly.

After about five seconds, the original injury on the left leg recovered as before, while the wound on the psoas muscle on the right emitted a faint white smoke, and new muscle blood vessels grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. It took a total of more than 20 seconds. Two-thirds of the wound from the God Bullet had healed, and there were still some superficial wounds.

Fortunately, the bleeding has stopped and will not continue to deteriorate.

"Too poor." Yuan Qing secretly shook his head.

The potion they found was a first-class recovery potion of the Hongdu Group. The selling price was stable at 200 alliance coins per bottle, and the effect of healing injuries was only mediocre.If there was a second-level recovery potion, one bottle would be enough to completely heal the wound on his waist.

But the price is also relatively expensive, each bottle sells for 1 alliance coins, which is still unaffordable with the strength of the Vulcan Scythe team.

"His watch seems to be able to talk to Hongdu Group." Yuan Qing thought for a while, took off the smart watch from the boss's corpse wrist, and established contact with Hongdu Group, "I am Yuan Qing, and now I tell you, destroy my team I will definitely avenge you, let your people wash their necks and wait."

Only a second later, a thick man's voice came out from the smart watch: "Yuan Qing, give up running away now, and surrender yourself to my Hongdu Building. Maybe there is still a chance of survival. If you are stubborn, continue to fight with my Hongdu mansion All against the group, I promise to let you..."

Before the man could finish speaking, Yuan Qing threw away the smart watch, turned around and walked slowly towards the dense forest.

"Hongdu Group... I will settle this account with you sooner or later!"

At the same time, at the Ji'an Survival Base, in a 400-story building with a height of [-] meters, a middle-aged man wearing a silver-white alloy armor looked at his smart watch and shook his head slowly.

The sound of rustling footsteps came from the bracelet, as well as the sharp sound of a war knife cutting through bushes and bushes, gradually receding and becoming inaudible.

A person dressed as an assistant came in and said cautiously: "Director, Vice President Luo found out about Yuan Qing and was very angry. He said that we can't even deal with a free man, which will damage the reputation of Hongdu Group..."

"I see." The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes slightly, pressed the red button on the bracelet, and said in a low voice, "I ordered that the employment mission be terminated, and the Hongdu guards be sent to the Tianming Mountain area to hunt down Yuan Qing with all my strength!"

Immediately, a rough male voice came out: "Director, please rest assured, our guards will take action, Yuan Qing will die!"

"No." A stern light flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged man, "Remember, I want to live! Capture him and make a public display outside the base, so that everyone will know the fate of offending our Hongdu Group!"
