Atlas of Heaven and Man

#75 - countercurrent

Wei Chang'an looked at Scarface, his eyes becoming extremely wary.

He knew that Scarface had undergone implant surgery, as noted in previous information about the man. However, he had assumed it was merely civilian-grade, capable of surpassing normal limbs in combat to some extent, but still limited in its effectiveness. For martial artists trained through proper channels like himself, this advantage wasn't particularly significant.

But military-grade implants were completely different.

Military implants were designed to withstand battlefield weaponry. Some of the more advanced implants could even render ordinary weapons useless.

At this time, most of the personnel involved in the siege had arrived. Many people saw this scene and couldn't help but be stunned. However, they weren't aware of the military implants, simply assuming that Scarface was wearing protective gear or something.

Among the many personnel, there were quite a few from the Boxing Club. Several boxers saw that Scarface had just been shot and seemed to be moving with difficulty, thinking an opportunity had come. Without thinking, they rushed forward.

Wei Chang'an immediately shouted a warning: "Be careful, it's dangerous!"

Unfortunately, the sound of firecrackers going off at the moment drowned out much of his voice. He didn't know if these people hadn't heard clearly or simply didn't care, as their movements didn't stop at all.

This time, three people rushed to the front. One came straight on, one aimed for the lower body, and the other went around to the back.

The positioning of the two in front was very particular. Experienced people could tell from their eyes and posture that they were aiming to take him down.

This line of thinking wasn't wrong. No matter how sturdy Scarface was, as long as he was knocked to the ground, they could deal with him however they wanted.

Seeing people approaching, Scarface swung his hammer. The person in front seized the opportunity to dodge, then leaped forward and grabbed one of his legs. The other person also nimbly dodged the broken knife and grabbed his arm.

When Wei Chang'an fought Scarface just now, he noticed that his movements were slightly slow, and felt that the presence of the implant seemed to have a certain impact on him, with insufficient coordination, possibly due to problems with nerve conduction.

Although these boxers didn't know this, they could judge how to deal with him based on experience. As the two twisted Scarface, the last person going around to the back also saw the opportunity. With a shout, he kicked Scarface's knee, this kick was really strong and powerful, making Scarface kneel down on one leg.

However, the next moment, Scarface took a deep breath, his upper body seemed to expand. He pulled his hand, the hand holding the knife actually stabbed the boxer who was hugging his leg, the broken sharp blade pierced into the boxer's mouth.

The other two boxers were also shocked, but they all understood that they couldn't retreat at this time. One person behind came up and strangled his throat, while the other used all his strength to lock his arm holding the knife.

No matter how strong a person is, they need to breathe. Being strangled by the neck, at most, in a few seconds, he should lose his resistance.

After Scarface's neck was strangled, he was also stunned for a moment, the hand holding the hammer loosened, and the hammer head fell to the ground. Just as everyone thought it had taken effect, he raised his hand to his shoulder, clasped the man's arm, and just pinched with his palm. The man screamed, but his arm bone was directly crushed.

Scarface grabbed his arm and slammed the whole person forward, hitting the ground with a bang. The man twitched and stopped moving.

The person grabbing his arm was immediately shocked and quickly let go, wanting to retreat, but the next moment he was grabbed by his clothes. He twisted his body slightly, tore his clothes with a hiss, and fell backward. After staggering a few steps, he ran away in a panic.

But before he could escape, Scarface's body picked up the engineering hammer on the ground, swung his hand, and hit the person's shoulder and back. The person was immediately smashed forward and fell to the ground, seemingly without any sound.

Wei Chang'an sighed softly. Although these weren't his own people, he really didn't want to see anyone die because of this siege. He turned his head, wanting to find Cai Si, but didn't see anyone, so he immediately instructed a mature-looking person in the crowd: "Lao Wu, go get some ropes."

Lao Wu immediately knew his thoughts and immediately ran out to search for ropes.

Scarface ignored these people. Without interference from others, he also quickly walked towards the trade market in front.

Wei Chang'an wasn't prepared to let him escape. If he ran to a crowded place and then besieged him, not to mention whether he could be caught, it would inevitably cause a large number of casualties. He didn't know how much commotion it would cause by then, so he had to stop this guy before he rushed out of the street!

He shouted loudly: "Hold him back!"

He himself stood in the back and didn't move, not because he didn't want to rush up himself, but because there were not only the manpower he brought, but also the company's people. He had to coordinate in the middle, otherwise these people might not move. Besides, once he, the commander, lost his combat power, then this siege would basically be declared a failure.

Hearing his instructions, many people rushed towards Scarface, trying to stop the latter's progress.

The scene just now didn't scare them. They could see that Scarface's movements were actually not fast, and now he was just focused on escaping, not intending to entangle with them. So as long as they were careful, they could find a way to delay his steps, and wait until the ropes and other suitable tools were brought over.

In the rear, Cai Si also cleaned the flour out of his eyes. He saw the situation in front and shouted to the shop owner on the side: "Take out all the oil in the shop, whether it's peanut oil, soybean oil, or any mixed oil, take it all out and pour it on the street, be careful not to catch fire!"

The shop owner was stunned, then his eyes lit up, and the people next to him also realized something, and they also went to other shops to collect oil.

If the ground was full of oil, even if he broke through in front, it wouldn't be so easy to pass. By then, a few lassos could catch him. Everyone could think of this situation, so the somewhat flustered people suddenly became more determined.

When Scarface moved forward, he waved the weapon in his hand to drive away the people who came to harass him, while seemingly breathing hard. Only a few seconds later, some敏锐 people discovered that his body seemed to have expanded a circle, and the originally normal skin on his face began to turn red. What was particularly noteworthy was that the breath he exhaled seemed to be very hot.

His movements were no longer the slow and leisurely look he had before, but became more agile. His feet also gradually began to run in small steps from the original fast pace, and the speed became faster and faster.

At this time, the manpower sent by the委派 company was about to go forward, but was pulled by a person who looked a bit important, and shook his head at them. One of them asked: "Commissioner Qu, what's wrong?"

Commissioner Qu said sternly: "That Scarface should have implanted a modified heart and lungs. The blood vessels, skin, bones, and other places must have been strengthened together. Those are implants used to break through the battle line on the battlefield. The people we have now can't stop him. Don't go up and die. Wei Chang'an won't be able to complete the commission this time."

Just as he was saying this, Scarface was already rushing up, while waving the engineering hammer in his hand. Because his speed increased very quickly, the people in front were either knocked away by him because they couldn't dodge in time, or were swung away by the hammer. Suddenly, people were thrown off their feet, and one person was even drawn and flew to the roof on the side.

Wei Chang'an was also shocked. He followed up and said: "The people in front, what are you doing standing there? Hold him back!"

However, unlike just now, at this time, only two people heard his call and cooperated with his actions for the first time. The others were either hesitant or slow, and although these two tried their best to stop him, they were also very reluctant, and they themselves were in danger.

Someone at this moment took out the crossbow arrows temporarily approved by the patrol bureau to shoot, but most of the arrows shot at Scarface bounced off. Even if a few pierced into his thick arms, they seemed to have suffered a layer of resistance, just hanging there shallowly, and failed to stop his steps.

Wei Chang'an took a deep breath. At this time, he had to go up himself, otherwise he couldn't afford the consequences.

Chen Chuan had been paying attention to the movement in front from the rear. When he saw this scene, his eyes focused on Scarface, and he stepped towards the tall figure, facing the retreating crowd.
