Atlas of Heaven and Man

In the last appearing convoy, Mr. Zero stood on an open-top SUV, watching the lively battle below, and excitedly said:

"We've arrived just in time. Let's wait and watch them fight to the death first. Then we'll go up and pick up the scraps. The most valuable thing in this batch of Molan Corporation's goods is the high-energy nutrient solution, and possibly the battle mantises. Once we get our hands on it, this batch of goods will be enough for us to live on for the rest of our lives."

Currently, high-energy nutrient solutions are selling like crazy on the black market, with prices soaring to unimaginable levels. Yet, even so, people are still constantly buying them, and they're almost immediately consumed after they appear.

Once he consumes this batch of goods, why would he stay in this remote place?

Where couldn't he go?

The company even rewarded him, albeit only verbally, for finding this excellent test subject.

In the process of attacking the Bloodscar Gang, Xiao Xiao also made great contributions, and in the process, he became increasingly proficient in controlling his implant.

However, frequent use also increased the burden on his body. Recently, he would always feel inexplicable pain and soreness in various parts of his body, and shout for no reason, so in addition to injecting anti-rejection drugs every day, he also had to take medication to be able to sleep.

Mr. Zero pointed to the armed teams shooting at each other below, "How is it? Can you handle them?"

Xiao Xiao said confidently, "Just watch me."

A dozen people walked up behind him and said, "Brother Xiao, we will cover you from behind."

Xiao Xiao is not alone now, but has formed an implant team. Some of these people were absorbed from other defeated wasteland armed teams, and some were young people from Jiaoshan. They originally had no hope, and being able to install implants to gain combat power was a hope for them.

Xiao Xiao looked down below. Now was the time to find a good opportunity to wedge in after they were both exhausted.

Because there was almost no cover in the open wilderness, after the tires were successively blown out, the two groups who initially clashed could only use the cover of the armored vehicles to shoot at each other. Gunshots rang out across the wilderness, and the muzzle flashes flickered everywhere.

The attacking party was well prepared. After forcing the Molan Corporation to stop with the first wave of attacks, they released giant dragonflies from the team, with what appeared to be fiery red light inside their abdomens.

These things flew quickly to the top of the Molan Corporation team, and then exploded with a 'pop, pop, pop' sound, spraying out a large amount of cyan-green liquid. Some of it stuck to the armored vehicles, some to the ground nearby, and some splashed on the members of the Molan team.

Soon, the places that were contaminated were corroded, and a pungent odor emerged.

These were small venomous dragonflies, also produced by Compound Eye Corporation. The special venom contained in their bodies not only has high corrosiveness, but also emits a strong toxic odor.

Although a few members of the Molan team wore masks, they couldn't deal with the corrosive liquid. Seeing that the dragonflies were still flying over, many people had no choice but to leave the convoy. However, without cover, they could only rely on the protective clothing on their bodies to resist the opponent's shooting.

However, they didn't just sit and wait for death. They directly pulled out a few boxes and released the battle mantises that had been pre-injected with high-energy nutrient solution. As soon as the boxes were opened, the mantises jumped out, leaping out and rushing towards the opposite side under the command of hand gestures.

Two battle mantises spread their wings and rushed into the team in one or two breaths. As their forelegs waved, they instantly chopped the people on the road into pieces.

Xiao Xiao and others originally wanted to rush up, but seeing this scene, they couldn't help but stop. They knew how to deal with armed personnel, but these combat weapons were not only fast, but also could fly. How should they fight these things?

On the other side, Lao Feng commented, "They're really putting on a lively show." At this time, a reconnaissance team member came over and reported, "Special Envoy, we've checked. The team on the opposite hillside is very amateurish. They should be privately armed and funded."

Lao Feng nodded, "Then send a few people to keep an eye on them first." He gestured, and the team around him quickly dispersed, preparing to take action.

After watching for a while, seeing that the people from Molan Corporation were beginning to gain the upper hand, he looked at Chen Chuan, "Little Brother Chen, we need a sharp knife now. How about it, can you handle it?"

Chen Chuan said, "I can try." He had just observed it, and there were no Third Limit masters present. Now was indeed the time for him to perform.

He stuck the Snow Monarch Saber into the ground, took a deep breath, and guided the internal and external breathing method together. Then, he reached out and grabbed the hilt of the saber, slowly pulling it out.

After the Snow Monarch Blade was completely unsheathed, he stroked the back of the blade. This time, with the aid of his breathing, the bloodline on the blade's spine instantly turned incomparably crimson.

He stared ahead, took a step forward, and the ground suddenly burst apart. Then, everything around seemed to slow down.

In Old Feng's eyes, Chen Chuan was still there a moment ago, but the next moment, he suddenly disappeared from sight. Only a gust of wind rose, causing his scarf to flutter.

Chen Chuan rushed down from the high ground, and in a short while, he arrived at the location of the battle. At this time, he adjusted his posture, placed the Snow Monarch Blade to his side, and then suddenly charged forward.

The battling parties only felt like a gust of wind had swept past. Several people were originally firing at the front, but in the blink of an eye, their upper bodies flipped over neatly and fell to the ground.

One of them was clearly a Second Threshold fighter and seemed to have sensed something, but he only had time to turn his head to glance sideways before his head flew off with the rotation.

As for the two combat mantises that had been released, they were originally slashing wildly at their target, but at this moment, they seemed to sense a threat and immediately turned around, charging towards Chen Chuan.

However, in the instant they crossed paths, the two mantises were split into several pieces in mid-air and fell to the ground one after the other.

Chen Chuan's gaze was calm and unwavering. The two he encountered at the old factory back then fought him with hit-and-run tactics, making them very difficult to deal with. But these two were clearly ordered to launch a strong attack, abandoning their strengths to engage him head-on. There was nothing to say; they could be dealt with immediately.

From the outside, it looked as if several figures flashed in the field, and then a large number of severed bodies fell to the ground. The two combat mantises were also instantly turned into fragments. The originally dense gunfire also became sporadic, and then there was no sound.

Then, everyone saw a figure holding a blade appear in the middle of the field, walking step by step. Under the summer night in the wasteland, the intersecting headlights shone on his body, revealing a black windbreaker and a scarf-covered face. Only the long blade placed on his side reflected a cold light, exceptionally sharp and dazzling.

Someone finally reacted and shouted in horror, "It's a Third Threshold fighter!"

The members of Antai Company who had been watching the show from a distance suddenly changed their expressions. The appearance of a Third Threshold person meant that they were no longer safe. They immediately accelerated their retreat, leaving one person behind to prevent being pursued.

On the high slope, Mr. Zero's face instantly turned extremely ugly. Xiao Xiao and the others also stared blankly, the scene on the field exceeding their understanding. What was going on?

Fortunately, they hadn't rushed down yet. If they had been down there just now, would they have become one of them? Thinking of this, their faces turned pale and their bodies trembled slightly.

Chen Chuan turned his head and looked in the direction where Antai Company was fleeing. At this time, only a burly man was standing there.

He could feel that when he was charging and killing just now, this person's gaze had been fixed on him, obviously able to clearly see his movements. But strangely, he didn't feel the same sense of danger that Tan Wang had given him back then.

The strong man quickly took out a syringe, jabbed it into his neck, and then threw it away. In the blink of an eye, his eyes turned blood red, his breathing became heavy, and his body seemed to expand slightly.

The captain of the Bureau of General Affairs saw this scene and immediately said, "Special Envoy, this should be Antai Company's newly developed 'Rampage' drug. Special physique fighters can gain a temporary combat power boost by stimulating异化 tissues.

This person should be like Little Chen, with exceptionally developed nerve reaction and coordination. Although he hasn't reached the Third Threshold yet, he can briefly reach that level through drugs."

Old Feng knew that Chen Chuan hadn't used any drugs, but he didn't stop his subordinates from thinking that way.

Chen Chuan walked to the front of the strong man. The latter pulled out two daggers from his waist, which looked exceptionally sharp. After a moment of confrontation, the two men suddenly charged forward!

While Chen Chuan was running, the long blade fell first, but the strong man tilted his head, meeting the blade with his shoulder, letting the long blade chop at himself. But when the blade fell, he felt a layer of resistance.

Chen Chuan's eyes flickered slightly. In the past, when he killed those wearing protective suits and those with implants, it was always with a single stroke. This was the first time he had encountered this situation.

At this moment, a fierce look appeared on the strong man's face. He quickened his pace and, using the momentum of the charge, raised the two daggers and stabbed them towards Chen Chuan.

Chen Chuan watched him charge, flipped the wrist of his sword-holding hand upwards, and used the back of the blade to brace against his shoulder, pointing the hilt at the front. At the same time, he thrust his shoulder forward, the end of the hilt poking the opponent's shoulder before the tip of the daggers arrived, immediately causing the latter to lean back.

He also used the force of this impact to stop his body, took a step back, and at the same time twisted his waist, flipped his wrist again, and brought the blade downwards diagonally, instantly sweeping across the strong man's neck. With a swoosh, his head flew off to the side, fell to the ground, and bounced a few times before finally coming to rest there.
